when i say i love racetrack higgins i do not mean whatever the fandom did to him over the years. i mean the racetrack higgins who was abandoned at 2 years old. i mean the racetrack higgins with a serious fear of abandonment because of that (spoiler alert a best friend who constantly says he wants to leave for santa fe isnt good for him). i mean the racetrack higgins who is quick with a joke because he feels he has to be. i mean the racetrack higgins who tries to mimic jack and be a good leader for those kids when he can be. i mean the racetrack higgins who is trying his hardest to sound smart. i mean the racetrack higgins who gambles because he knows hes good at it and to him at least hes good at something. i mean racetrack higgins who smokes because it calms him down. i mean racetrack higgins the little tough guy.
#newsies#racetrack higgins#i love that guy so much.#but i hateeee how hes reduced to ‘spots blonde boyfriend’ so bad#hes actually got so much room to be so interesting theres a reason hes a weird grey area of ensemble newsie or not#hes literally cool as hell#mr just two years old!!!!!#no hate yall have fun but thats not MY racer

i adore how quick the boys are to help crutchie when he needs it. no discussion, no pity, just support.
when morris pushes him over, it isn't jack (who is right there) who helps him up, neither is it race nor romeo, who we saw him interact with earlier in the song. it's albert who helps him up, and it's albert who carries him until he gets his crutch back. did they have a system? was it albert's job to carry crutchie when needed? was it because they're close friends, and we just never get to see it again? or was it that any of the newsies would have done it, but albert happened to be the closest?
when the nuns hand out food, kid blink and smalls don't hesitate before hoisting him onto their shoulders. jack and specs both place their hands on his back to ensure that he doesn't fall backwards. it's so smooth, so natural, like they've done it a million times before.
and note: i don't think crutchie interacts with any of those characters (albert, kid blink, smalls) at any other moment in the musical.
conclusion: crutchie is so so loved.
#also andrew keenan bolger is lowkey ripped so kudos to those two for being able to lift him so casually#and sky flaherty?? its one thing to pick up a buff man but its another to RUN with him in your arms#also the screenshot is excessively wide just bc iain young <3#also jfc sky's arms hooooly hell#ok i actually need to stop lmao#newsies#crutchie#crutchie morris#livesies#albert dasilva#kid blink#smalls newsies#also like ok logically i know it was probably just#albert finch race and jack are the ones who are near him already in that scene#and both jack and race have lines to say so its between albert and finch#and like yall know im iain youngs biggest fan but sky flaherty is just built different so makes sense that its him#they were prob just like ok sky is strong - great he'll do it#BUT LET ME DREAM AND OVERANALYSE OK#bc what is fandom if not excessively overthinking the tiniest details#if u read this far i love you <3#newsies analysis

“dumb crip’s just too damn slow” not matthew’s crutchie. NEVER matthews’s crutchie. he was barrelling across the stage with purpose at all times. he could fucking MOVE. he did NOT come to fuck around he came to be speedy as shit and i love him so dearly
#sludge speaks#newsies#by god that man can move#i love when disabled people play disabled characters#and actually know how to use mobility aids correctly to their advantage#the speed at which he moved back from his bow was so funny#he went so fast he had to hop to slow himself down#me too buddy#matthew duckett#uksies#west endsies#west end newsies#crutchie newsies#crutchie#crutchie morris

If you ask Mush, winter is one of the best times of the year, but it seems he's one of the only people in the lodgings that feels that way. What starts as a way to take Blink's mind off of the now cold, dark months ends up being a bigger scheme than even he was imagining, and he's more than happy to take the opportunity to plan a celebration that'll have everyone raring with holiday spirit. With help, of course.
OR: Mush throws a Christmas Party.
#MERRY CHRISTMAS#of course the second I try to upload is the second ao3 goes down istg#no matter- it's all working now :D#I'm decently proud of this one but I think it's mostly just my incredible bias towards mush- any story with him in it is going to be good#I'll probably try and write some more for him at some point to really hone his narration and like voice and stuff#he's such a good character to me and I want to make sure it's coming through#but for something that was only meant to be a little project to get me into the christmas mood I'd say it's done pretty well :D#have a load of mush and david besties agenda on me- a present for all of us this christmas#I seriously hope you all enjoy- and I hope that everyone who celebrates in some way has an amazing holiday!!#i love you all so much mwah#my writing#my stuff#newsies#newsies 1992#92sies#mush meyers#david jacobs#kid blink#blush#newsies fanfic#newsies fanfiction#jack kelly#he can have an honorary mention because I'm feeling generous#dutchy newsies#because he's actually in it too#maybe even more than jack oops#anyway#see you all soon

We have to seize the day
By carrying the banner
So the world will know
We have something to believe in
So don't come a knocking on my door
Just watch what happens
Because that's the bottom line

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4
"so." she has a grin on her face. she looks anything but happy. "i've been hearin' things, jackie boy. you 'hattan boys are playin' like you're going on a strike."
"well, we ain't playin'," jack mutters. "we are goin' on strike." davey watches the way spot's jaw sets. "and we- the two o' us came t'ask for your help, spot."
"my help?" she says quietly. it makes his skin itch, the way spot's looking at jack. she sets her chin on her cane and stares.
"we 'hattan boys ain't enough by ourselves. we need you guys. we- you brooklyn kids- y'know?"
"and davey?" spot asks, in a tone that gives off anger. "what d'you have to say?"
"um. well, you- you're the key for our strike. the most powerful borough, most feared newsies. we need you guys or we just don't have enough power. you're-"
"you want us to join?" spot interrupts. jack nods as she shoves herself off of her throne. "are you fucking kiddin' me?" jack swallows.
"spot, pulitzer can't treat us like we is nothin'."
"yeah?" she shoves him back. "your new kid teach you that?" she shoves him again and he stumbles back a little. davey grabs his sleeve and she glares at him. "listen up, kelly. your boys in 'hattan ain't nothin' like me- they got some power i ain't ever gonna get! look around- how many girls do ya see?"
"spot-" jack glances away from her glare so she grabs his hair and yanks him down to her level.
"i said fuckin' look around, kelly. these girls need my protection. they need the money. they don't got your boys' safety. i ain't puttin' them in any danger." she lets go of his hair. "what happens when your boys give up?"
"give up?" davey repeats. he jumps forward to say something but her cane stops him. "we- we won't give up."
"yeah, you say that," she bites out. "until i know that, we ain't doin' anything. i ain't puttin' none of my girls through that!"
"spot-" jack tries.
"no. show me you ain't givin' up and we can talk. till then, hotshot and stray can take ya back." she sits in her throne, gestures for hotshot and stray. hotshot shows up, a big grin on her face. stray pops up behind him, bouncing on her toes.
"well, aintcha a pretty one?" stray loops her arm through davey's and starts to pull him along. "i dunno what you was talkin' to spot about but she ain't lookin' so happy, huh?" jack and hotshot trail behind them. "i heard somethin' 'bout a strike."
"nothing important now. she said no."
"eh, spottie ain't up for a good time like the rest of us," stray mutters. she bounces up and down as they walk. she salutes another girl they pass on the street. davey hears jack and hotshot talking with each other behind them. "whatcha want her to do? go on strike?"
"pulitzer raised the price of papes. manhattan is striking."
"ooh!" she grins. "sounds like a good time if i ever heard one. maybe i'll sneak on down. just to see ya," she adds quietly. davey smiles down at her. "i'll talk to spot for ya."
"will she change her mind?"
"she never does, not about important things. sorry, love." davey looks down. she stops at the edge of the bridge. "good luck on your strike."
#lowkey i actually love stray in this#never written her before by i just KNOW she flirts with davey a lot#i love spot so much she is so annoyed with jack and davey#newsies 1992#davey newsies#newsies#92sies#newsies 2017#david jacobs#davey jacobs#jack kelly#stray newsies#hotshot newsies#spot conlon#livesies#uksies#mars' writing!!

i have something to say about jack being touched
#newsies#jack kelly#did not mean for davey to be the main instigator here but unfortunately wwhr is a pretty vulnerable jack#like i swear this stemmed from jack and pulitzer..#but then again as much as jack loves davey.. he did only Just meet the guy.. not the same as crutche or race getting physical with him#corey really killed it as a scared little boy thats so important to me#and michael actually knocking les down…..#physical touch is his love language but dont you dare grab him w out warning !#smth abt the wah kath asks permission with just her eyes to hold his hand in something to believe in

obviously these boys are dancers but they are SUCH DANCERS MAN. like does any normal person actually kneel like this i love them.
like LOOK at finch in the top right corner and that freaking 90 degree angle. it is SO unnatural do it do it now. i tried and my hip crunched like bubble wrap
#actually most of u r young and dance-y people so its probably not a big deal to u but#to a non-flexible non-dancer non-teenager ITS IMPRESSIVE I SWEAR#also most of them are doing it as an end pose in a dance but tommy boy??#hes just existing like that#and i love that for him#newsies#newsies fandom#livesies

Sometimes I rewatch the Tuck Everlasting musical just to feel something. Everyone who enjoys musical theatre should be required to watch it at least once
#this show deserved so much better#it’s so good#i hated reading this book in elementary school but this musical made me love this story#also the orchestrations are just chefs kiss#and the vibes are immaculate#and there’s two newsies#and ben cook is just such a good dancer#and andrew keenan-bolger actually gets to dance this time#sorry crutchie#tuck everlasting#tuck everlasting musical#jesse tuck#miles tuck#angus tuck#mae tuck#winnie foster

I don't understand people who are fans of a show but only like one cast?? (typically the original broadway cast, or whatever cast got the show popular) like... I love seeing different casts do my favourite shows! I love seeing how different actors characterize their roles!! and sure I can understand having favourites, that makes sense, but I don't understand when people go to a video or something of someone who's going in for a role and say stuff like "not my [character name]", or "well, they're okay but they'll never be [another actor who played the same character]" like???? they're not supposed to??? different interpretations of characters are so important and so interesting!!!!!
#musical theatre#I've seen this a lot in comments of mt videos#and a lot specifically for newsies and ride the cyclone#and it makes me really sad :(#like it's okay to not like someone's interpretation of a character!!!#that's totally fine!#you are going to like some actors better than others in the same role!!#but don't hate on another actor just because they're not your fave#at the very least offer like an actual reason as to why you don't like their portrayal instead of just#“oh well I don't like it as much as [other actor]”#you can criticize an actor's portrayal of a character#and still be polite and respectful about it#anyways thanks for reading my rant#have a lovely day/night wherever you are :)
