My favorite newsie moment

[wekiaam]

Some of my favourite Davey frames over the years <3

[monpanache]

This morning I watched Newsies (1992) and y'all were right, Jack and Davey are boyfriends. Tue movie is gayer than the musical, maybe because the whole thing between Jack and Sarah is just...there? Like, Katherine and Jack in the stage show work better, even if they can't beat THIS⤵️⤵️⤵️

Now I'm gonna go explore the Jack/David tag on ao3.

[mushiimune]

it's been a long long time since last I drew portraits of them. this is always how I pictured them, only now, I actually have the ability to bring my old vision into reality.

y'know, maybe it's just because of my style in particular, but I always loved the added foil of Jack and David's features. not just the red and blue dynamic, but David Moscow had such sharp features, while Christian Bale's were much softer. I don't think I ever fully got that across through my old art.

Behold: 92sies

I have actually never drawn Jack, David or Sarah so they were a must and Blink, Snoddy and Swifty are here because I wanted them to be (and really I want to draw some more Snoddy in the future so it felt appropriate)

All these are from either behind the scenes pictures or screenshots of the movie as seen here:

Colours I tried to pick from the pictures that had colours but worked more semi-well, but I think I still got some pretty good headshots out of the boys and girl :)

Also yes Blink looks like a sheet of paper but I have used the same colours as in other drawings of him and I will *stick* to it okay (I love his little birthmarks btw)

And Snoddy's freckles also turned out so niceeee

Please note Jack's piercing hole in his ear, it was very noticeable on my reference and it is canon to me now

Anyone ever notice that 2017 Jack Kelly is wearing a very similar color palatte to 1992 Davey

Women don't want men, women want a professionally filmed version of Newsies UK

Ok so here's the basics for my newsies Hadestown AU!! Please ask any questions you have I would love to yap more about this!

Orpheus - Jack Kelly  Both artistic, hopeless romantic young men with a desire to find/do something more. He loves hard and fast, but not easy. Wait for me is a perfect song for him, I think it really works.

Eurydice - David Jacobs  There's really no other way I would've done this, let's be real. He’s more hesitant, but has a strong mind, with doubt creeping in. He falls in love despite himself. All I've ever known would do a great job showing his journey

Hermes - Crutchie Morris   He has seen this happen before. He hates it sometimes, but he knows someone needs to tell his ‘brothers’ tale. He’s trying to let himself be optimistic, and sometimes it works…almost. But he loves Jack and David too much to let it not be told again

Persephone - Racetrack Higgins  He has long since given up being taken seriously for a little fun. He loves hard. He likes to drink and to party, it makes it all bearable. He loves his husband, but misses how he was and hates how he’s becoming. He knows how this story goes and he couldn’t care less because he knows happiness will be found again, even if sadness is found again too.

Hades - Spot Conlon  He knows he needs to give up the little things to succeed, and it’s almost a sacrifice he is willing to make. He loves hard too, in his own way. He is cold to the world, because the world was cold to him. But he is going to fix it, whatever it takes, because he knows he can do it. He loves his husband, and knows Race disapproves, and he hates it, but it is necessary. He does what is necessary. (Also Why we build the wall is so perfect for him)

The fates - I’ll be the first to admit this was a difficult decision, and so i’m going to lay out my thoughts because truth be told I have not fully decided yet. One of my first thoughts was Les, Sarah and Ester. They haunt David. I like this, but Mayer is left out and so I’m not sure it works. My other thought, which I’m leaning towards, is 3 newsies. I think this would be Buttons, Mush, and maybe Finch. These three as a whole are kinda a weird trio, I admit, but I think as a whole they would be able to function much as the Fates do. Buttons has the sewing aspect, Mush would really be able to push the story and David around as the Fates need to, and Finch has the forethought and careful consideration, but also pushiness and 'inquisition' that rounds out these three as the Fates. Katherine would also work as one of the Fates :)

The chorus and workers are the rest of the newsies ^_^

“What are you doing??” “Runnin’” FAVORITE MOMENT IN 92sies IS WHEN JACK AND DAVID MEET

[nyx-thedragon]

made this in like 2 minutes so it’s not that good but this is all i can think about every time i watch newsies and the scene where davey and jack are negotiating their deal comes up

his eyes are so fucking blue dude

[doththymayo]

Davey: Alright, so we all know that somebody lit Jack's car on fire–

Jack: And that somebody is named Spot.

Davey: And we don't know who it is...

Jack: I do. It was Spot.

Davey: So we can't really blame anybody at this point...

Jack: Uh, I can and I blame Spot.

Davey: So, for now that will have to remain... a mystery.

Jack: Um, mystery solved!

Jack: Spot burnt up my fucking car.

[mushiimune]

I lied. Here's more old art! A whole feast; Jack, Javid, Skittery, David, early morning Jack and Crutchy :-)
