what do you think the differnt ways newsies sleep are?

jack: moves A LOT

davey: can sleep through anything and only moves sometimes while sleeping

les: sleep talks (canon)

race: very light sleeper

elmer: loves to cuddle

boots: sleep kicks (I believe this is how he got his name)

finch: whistles in his sleep

albert: wakes up 10000x a night

skittery: twists himself in the most impossible ways

mush: is very warm when he sleeps, like he never uses blankets or a shirt cuz he will overheat

blink: sleeps like a rock (at least once a week he is woken up from someone checking his pulse)

bumlets: buried in blankets (like even his face is covered)

snitch: sucks his thumb (canon)

itey: likes to have someone else in the bed (usually snitch)

spot: he doesn't, world class insomniac

crutchie: always holding his crutch by his side

(send asks abt my headcanons or send fic prompts!)

I think the fact that Arvie Lowe Jr. forgot to take off his watch in the scene after The World Will Know, and the fact that Boots then says "I spent a month there one night" on the way to Brooklyn should canonically make Boots a time traveler

Sarah teaching Boots and Snipeshooter and also Smalls probably to sew and the three of them making her a patchwork quilt with ripped clothes and odds and ends they manage to get their hands on. Just the pride and joy on their faces as they'd wrapped it in newspaper and tied it with some ribbon Kloppman managed to acquire and gifting it to her as a thank you :)

THIS IS ADORABLE ☹️

sarah would LOVE teaching them to sew

they’d be so proud of themselves handing it to her like :D

thank you for this- made my day <3

My thoughts on every Newsie (92sies edition)

Part 1

Here are my thoughts on the Newsies from 92sies!

Jack Kelly: Totally cool guy. Resident leader of the Lower Manhattan newsies. Love him to death.

David Jacobs: TBH, I was kind of neutral about him when I first saw Newsies, but I started to like him eventually! And I have a lot in common with him!

Racetrack Higgins

This guy right here, is one of my favorite newsies. I really liked him from the first time I saw this movie. He always makes the funniest jokes. And Max plays the role of Racetrack extremely well!

Les Jacobs

I know I post about him a lot, but I love him so much! He’s so cute, and he one of my favorite characters! And did I mention that he’s such a sweetheart? I just wanna squeeze his cheeks!

Mush Meyers

I love him so much! That is all!

Kid Blink

He’s a great guy. I really like seeing his interactions with Mush. It’s pretty clear that they’re best friends.

Boots Arbus

I love Boots so much. He’s like the straight man of the group, even though he’s one of the younger newsies.

Spot Conlon

When I first watched Newsies last year, I wasn’t sure I would like this guy. But then I warmed up to him!

Crunchy Morris

I really love this guy so much! He may be sweet, but he’s also sassy!

Skitters

The resident misanthrope of the Lower Manhattan newsies. Still like him, tho.

Boots deserves the world!

Consider this a boots appreciation post

[felicitykings]

Well, we started the strike, but uh- we can't do it alone. So we've been talking to other newsies all around the city. Yeah. So they told me. But what did they tell you?

a list of 92sies character descriptions (from the script) that I find rlly funny

"MUSH, cross-eyed and skinny with big ears and lisp, playfully pushes the NEWSIE so he falls on his hammock."

"it belongs to RACETRACK * HIGGINS, an Italian beanpole"

"BOOTS ARBUS, 15, black"

"rodent-faced man" (Wiesel)

"From behind some rotting timbers steps a freckled gnome. He looks them up and down, then grins. He is SPOT CONLON."

Places I would pay very real money to have been:

Christian Bale’s and Arvie Lowe Jr’s joint birthday party in a bowling alley in 1992 while filming Newsies

Boots Arbus

This is probably a late 80s/early 90s AU that I thought of this past year. I'm probably going to write some one shots. Maybe, or maybe not!

[lmelodymusicl]

I would name her Elizabeth “Bootsy” Arbus. She’s so adorable!

Boots (92sies), but if he was a girl!

boots sweetie you deserved to make it to broadway

This man dispenses the marbles.

Compared to him? You are nothing.
