The Newsies

[wekiaam]

Exploring background manhattan newsie looks!! I want to give them all a cohesive colour scheme and all slightly different outfits, also more variety in ages, lengths and nationalities. Also they're just so fun to draw

Hello Newsies Tumblr.

Might I present to you.

My take.

On Femme! Buttons Davenport.

BEHOLD.

Instead of “Benjamin Barrett ‘Benji’ Davenport,” I present to you “Beatrice Barbara ‘Bea’ Davenport!”

I’m very proud of her, or at least, proud of the fact that I managed to draw her in a way that scratched the incessant itch in my brain.

Anyways.

Yeah :3

Rewatching the pro-shot and there are small things I'm noticing for the first time six years later.

Example: When Buttons says "I won't be last in line for the tub tonight" you can faintly hear someone say "yeah but you're still gonna smell" 😭

Elmer Kaspzrak Hc’s

his real name is Elmer Kasprzak

Youngest of 9 (trading card)

a “whiz at math” (trading card)

Polish

Speaks Polish

He sleeps mainly at the lodge due to lack of space at his family’s home

H y p e r bean

gotta j u m p

gotta r u n

gotta do all the t h i n g s

also very soft

like he’s a lil sunshine

he has been compared to a puppy

Jewish

Once his parents found out about Buttons (bc i ship them🥰) he got kicked out

poor baby was distraught

Elmer usually spent a lotta time at Buttons house even before he got kicked out bc his house is just- a lot.

like once buttons was over there for an hour and saw:

elmer’s dad and oldest brother shouting in polish so loud it was almost deafening,

his sisters yelling,

elmer get put in multiple headlocks,

more polish shouting,

and elmer’s mom screaming at them all in polish

most likely to be quiet.

And Elmer said that was a pretty tame day

He loves the littles

and Button’s siblings

he’s very cuddly

Hardly spoke English when he became a newsie

has an awful time readinf in general

english is rough

if this man says hes sleepy you have 2 minutes before he is out cold

doesnt matter where or when
