Ahhhh davey and finch meeting when they were little
Oh I love this
Davey is no stranger to the newsies before the strike. Even if the Jacobs are more well off, it’s not like they’re Katherine rich. They still see the grimy, homeless newsboys on every street corner no matter where they go. And of course, anytime they want a paper, they interact with them. So David had actually met quite a few newsies in his time, even if only for a few seconds.
But after he bought a paper from this one kid taller than him on his way to school, he feels something hit his back as he’s walking away. He looks down and sees a pebble at his feet, and turns and sees the newsboy hiding up on a perch, slingshot in hand and a sly grin on his face. David just stares blankly for a minute, not sure what he’s supposed to do in this situation.
“What was that for?” He finally asks, and the newsboy looks almost surprised that David can still see him, even though he’s really not hidden very well.
“You looked like a good shot,” the newsboy replies. And it almost makes David laugh, just from the pure absurdity of the moment.
He picks up the pebble and throws it back at the newsboy, who dodges it with a laugh. David laughs back, and it almost feels like when he’s hanging out with his friends after school, willing to do anything to put off going home to do stupid homework. He waves to the newsie, who waves back and loads another pebble into his slingshot. Davey quickly runs, not wanting to get hit again. He can feel the pebble whiz past him right before he turns the corner onto his school grounds. In the distance, he can hear the boy going back to hawking headlines, and he heads inside for classes.

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

14 year old artists listen to me right now (gripping you by the shoulders) STOP caring about your "internet presence" right naow. Draw slower and stop trying to boil your art down to an acceptable marketable brand
