#Ben Cook kicking himself in the face and proudly put it on my water bottle for theater so my cast could see it

[races-stupid-cigar]

both have the defining newsies fan trait of looking at some ratty background kid and giving them so much love and personality to a kid who plotwise does nothing but means the world to a handful of people

The difference between 92sies fans and Livesies fans is so funny to me.

Because on one hand you have fans that analyze every aspect of the movie; will talk about how even though Christian Bale and the other actors don’t have the best singing or dancing, they are kids with spirit and are just so authentic; will defend the movie with their lives; affectionately call Newsies their comfort movie; cry just thinking about how excited the actors were for their movie to be on the big screens but the box office was horrible; will criticize Disney and other corporations; will point out how the movie went over basically everyone’s heads; and will write full essays about why the movie is so good and how nothing will ever come close to it.

And then on the other hand you have fans who scream “BEN COOK!!!!” And “KATHRYN!!” And “The poor guy’s heeaaad iiiiiissss SPINNNING” as well as say “woah :o Davey says a snake rattles because it’s scared :o how did he know that :o I didn’t know that :o he’s so smart :o”
