At the end of the day who’re you gonna trust?

Just thinking about how Splasher, the youngest of the newsies other than Les, the one who says that papers is all he’s got, is shown being closest to Buttons and Tommy Boy. Who are the boys who scab before Seize the Day? Buttons, Tommy Boy, and Splasher.

This little boy is like 10 at most. He’s got very little idea what’s going on. But the two boys he’s most likely to call brothers are still going in to sell papes? Then he’s going to as well because he trusts they have his best interests in mind.

And then Buttons joins the strike. And Splasher does too. And so does Tommy Boy. And Splasher is so excited he can’t stop jumping around because he’s surrounded by his family who will always protect him.

Then the moment the adults show up, Splasher runs to the police officer, expecting them to help. Children are taught to trust the police, and what happens? Splasher gets knocked out by him.

This is a long winded way of me saying Splasher has trust issues and latches into Buttons and Tommy Boy for dear life because all the trusted adults in his life have let him down.

[superstar-adora]

me and my partner got bored and possibly made the best headcanon. its known that buttons has fleas, so i decided he just CONSTANTLY brings back cats, dogs, and anything he can catch to the orphanage.

of course these animals always get kicked out. all minus the one he gifted race. her name is lottery, race loves her as if shes a real baby. he wins a good amount of money, instead of buying himself food or clothes, he spends it on her.

she's basically a celebrity with the newsies too, they all love her more than life itself. if race loses track of her, he can find finch and albert cuddling around her cat bed

also this is what she looks like

[to-be-a-dreamer]

Modern-era Buttons tries to start going by "Ben" once he gets to high school and all his friends are just like "lol no" and simply refuse. It's like. The first class of freshman year and the teacher is doing that thing where they call roll and ask everyone what name they go by

"Benjamin Davenport?" "Here! I uh-I go by Ben" "Like hell you do"

They eventually settle on "Benji" and "Benny" as a compromise but he's well into his college years before he stops getting called Buttons at least once a week.

Hiiii!!! If you’re still taking one shot requests, could you write some Buttons x Elmer (Butter? Idk there ship name, sorry)?

Yeah! I know this is a small one-shot, but they're isn't much on the Butter ship and I'm still quite new to the fandom (I watched Newsies for the first time 3 days before Christmas 🫣)

But here's a one-shot of them on a date!

(Also guys this might include traits from headcannons I'm gonna make soon!)

I hope you like this!

Benjamin "Buttons" Davenport and Elmer Kazprak were walking the streets of Woodside at 6 pm as they were on their way to Jacobi's Deli for a date. They were holding each other's hand gently and still had a slight bit of dirt on their clothes from working all day.

After they walked in, they sat down in a corner with a small, curled oak table with 3 chairs and 2 glasses of water in front of them and a small bag of prawn crackers next to them. They were munching away slowly as they didn't want to have their food in 1 minute and be hungry for the rest of the night.

Buttons said nervously, as this was the first date he had been on, let alone with a boy, "so...how are you?.."

Elmer was distracted by looking over at his surroundings but then looked over to Buttons and said, "Uhm, okay. What about you?" He asked quite alarmed after being disrupted.

"I've been great, just extremely itchy." Buttons said as he looked down and started scratching the back of his head.

"Maybe you need some cream or spray for that, Whiskers," Elmer said teasingly and giggled lightly. Whiskers was a nickname that came from Mush for Buttons because cats had fleas too. "Maybe you'll be allowed to spoon with me for once."

"Elmer." Buttons said firmly as he stopped scratching and slowly looked up to Elmer but ended up laughing. He could never get annoyed with his date.

They both ended up laughing together as it died down after a few seconds. They then both looked up at each other and their smiles softened in adoration as they saw the other smiling. They then drank a little bit of their water and Elmer sat back in his seat as Buttons had his elbows on the table and his chin on his fists.

They stayed quiet for a few moments before Elmer spoke up, "Why did you spend your money on the food and water? Why didn't you let me pay too?" He asked with a confused expression. This wasn't like Buttons. Of course, he'd be generous, but not this much.

"Because I just felt like it. You bought me a cheap sewing kit to put my buttons back on 3 years ago." He just said blankly.

"And you've been so obsessed with it since. You didn't need to thank me for it." Elmer said with a blank but confused expression.

"Who said I was?" Buttons asks firmly as he leans in more but then chuckles.

Elmer chuckles too and drinks a bit more of his waster and then says, "Let's just finish up here and then go The Bowery."

"T-the bowery?.." Buttons asks as he takes his elbows off the table and drinks a bit more of his water, "We are not sneaking in there. I know what you're like."

"No, no, no, I don't mean we're sneaking in," Elmer says reassuringly as he puts his hands on the table, "we're just gonna see if Medda'll let us in for free, y'know, since we're Jack's friends."

Buttons takes 1 last sip of his water before leaning back on his chair and saying, "I suppose so."

"Great!" Elmer says with a wide smile and then finishes his water and says in a rush, "Let's go now. Oh, and keep the crackers!" And then he gets out of his chair, holds Buttons' hand tightly and leads him out.

Buttons quickly grabs the prawn crackers before following and they both end up laughing as Mr Jacobi shouts, "Aye, you kids!" But understands since it's just young love to Jacobi.

The boys end up running to the theatre with smiles and laughs but the crackers bag is slightly open so it pours out onto the street and they end up giggling, almost falling to the floor. But hey soon calm down and just walk to the theatre.

Once they get in, they see many patrons of the theatre and the scent of cigars and alcohol through the air. The Bowery Beauties were performing a duet and the boys sneakily walked backstage.

Medda was walking around with the stage manager but then saw the boys and said, "Hey, what are you kids doing around here?"

The couple shared a look before Elmer looked back at Medda and said, "W-were Jack's friends."

Then Buttons butted in with, "And we were hoping we could stay? Just to see one show and then we're gone."

Medda thinks about it and then looks down at the boys as she says, "I suppose so. But don't hs running around up in here."

They nod and then run to a booth and sit down together. They watched the twins perform and before they knew it, Medda performed next. She sang about dying but in a beautiful manner. The boys weren't too focused on the lyrics but were focused on each other. They kept looking back and forth at the other one when they were watching the show and tried not to get caught. It was like a game to them.

During the song, Elmer starts to wrap his fingers around Buttons' as his hand is by his side and Buttons looks back at Elmer and blushes. He then looked away with a small smile and looked down at their hands. Their fingers were intertwined with each other and he couldn't stop smiling.

After the song ended, they walked back to Buttons' home where his family was still awake in the dining room having dinner.

They both walked up the porch and Elmer put his hands in his pockets and said, "Maybe you should come to the lodge sometime. You might like it there with all the other boys, and me, of course." And chuckles.

Buttons smiled slightly and said, "Do you wanna come in for more food? My family won't be too rowdy about you here, although they can be like that sometimes."

"No, no, I'm fine." Elmer says with a reassuring smile. He did want to come in, he was just a little nervous.

Buttons then put his hands in his pockets too and said, "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye." And then he opened the door and walked in.

"B-bye," Elmer said quietly as he watched him walk inside and close the door. He was quite nervous when dates would end since he didn't know what would happen next. He then shouted, "I LOVE YOU!!" But then realised it was too much and walked away in a hurry.

Buttons couldn't help but laugh to himself inside his house as he heard it and walked into the dining room with the biggest grin on his face.

That night, Elmer was asleep, wrapped in the blanket and was practically drooling on it since he dreamt about another date with Buttons. It was something they both could never forget.
