#but it was in 1992 in Brooklyn

[racetrackmybeloved]

i would give anything to watch a full movie on how the entirety of brooklyn came to be "spot conlon's territory". half of the brooklyn newsies are practically grown ass men, and they answer to this scrawny blond fifteen year old??

like come on

[military-newsboys]

Jack: Spot still won’t come out of his room. Race: Just tell him I said something. Jack: Like what? Race: Anything factually incorrect. Spot, a few minutes later: Did you say the fucking sun is a planet-

Newsies Musical where everything is the same but the Brooklyn comes during/After ‘Seize the Day’ like they do in the movie.

Brooklyn’s Here would need to be slightly reworked, and probably a new song made for when all the newsies unite; but imagine if Brooklyn had joined them prior to Act 2 like they do in the movie? Slingshot’s and all?

Brooklyn Newsies during King of New York? Spot getting a line like he does in the movie?

BROOKLYN NEWSIES ACTUALLY MEETING KATHERINE-

Also a lot more chance for Sprace content 👀

Newsie: Deck

Deck is a Brooklyn Newsie who wears his wine purple unbuttoned shirt tucked into his burgundy pants with his white undershirt exposed. His hat and suspenders are black.

If each Brooklyn Newsie had a Manhattan counterpart, Deck's would be Racetrack due to his love of gambling. He always has his deck of playing cards on hand.

And much like Racetrack, he has a fondness for tobacco.

He carelessly leaves his papes by the dock where it gets splashed on by Newsies diving into the water.

It doesn't matter to him if he makes no sales from selling wet papes, because unlike Racetrack who's always on a losing streak, Deck always wins big when he places a bet.

He hangs out with the Long Johns crowd. The reason why these guys are always in their long johns is because they keep losing to Deck in strip poker.

With the strike on, Deck's gambling skills allow him to continue making a living, and with that, he's off to the races again.

The other Manhattan to Brooklyn Newsie counterparts are:

Jack Kelly = Spot Conlon

Kid Blink = Bleach

Mush = Long Johns

Skittery = Chattery

Swifty = Raggy

Jake = Bowler

Guys we dont utilize David and Mush’s friendship enough in fics!!

Whenever David isn’t with Jack, and sometimes even when he is, he’s usually seen with Mush in the back and Mush hanging off David! THEYRE FRIENDS!!

Like yeah David is close with Race and Crutiche too but come on :( am i biased because i love Mush? No absolutely not duh i just yk watch the background :((

Jack: Wait for it, wait for it.. 9:01, Davey Jacobs is officially late for the first time ever.

Jack: Alright, let’s do this. Who’s got theories?

Crutchie: Uh.. alarm didn’t go off?

Jack: All three alarms, all with battery backup? Cmon, who wants to take this seriously?

Albert: He was taken in his sleep!

Jack: That’s what I’m talking about! Super dark, Al, but way more plausible than Crutchie’s idiotic alarm clock theory.

Race: I bet he tucked himself into bed too tight and got stuck.

Sketch Spot. Give him to me, Flintty

Salvatore Gabriel “Spot” Conlon

here’s your bum, you freak. notes down below.

Spot’s basically @16-jungle-wood’s design but I put more thought into it (joking ofc)

Spot’s face shape is from ‘92 Spot, everything mostly came from Tommy Bracco, and then the outfit is a mix of the two.

He’s a gold boy, he wears gold. He’s all warm tones.

I think I made him look like a 15 year old boy, he looks like some kid I’d see at school.

We love a short king in politics ig?

Race: My biggest talent is being stress!

Mush: Don’t you mean stressed?

Race: No

Davey, Jack, and Spot: *tired* No.

[doththymayo]

Jack: C'mon Davey, we're friends. I was building up to call you "Day-Day" one of these days. Davey: That will never happen. In fact, you just lost "Davey" privileges. From now on, you can call me "Jacobs" or "hey you". Jack: Come on Davey... Davey, glaring: Jack: Come on hey you....

Obey the Captain's Code

Long live the King

I was feeling bad about art so naturally the only logical choice is to draw Spot covered in blood. One of these days I really need to write him going a bit insane... I read one fic with the tag batshit crazy Spot Conlon and that changed me on a molecular level

The text "Obey the Captain's Code" is from the song Captain's Code by Joshua Turchin. It fits Spot really well :)

[racetrackmybeloved]

whoever decided to remove the gay pirate vibes from the brooklyn newsies ... why

[military-newsboys]

Air horn sound Second air horn sound Sleep deprived Jack: This isn’t deodorant.

Happy Women's History Month! ♥️

Newsie: Bleach

Bleach is a stealthy Brooklyn Newsie with an intense glare and wavy bleach blond hair.

He dresses in a black fedora, white undershirt, and beige pants with his calves exposed. He doesn't wear any socks and has his laces undone so he can quickly remove his shoes and go for a dip at any time.

When he's not carrying the banner, he's carrying a fishing pole

which he gently places against a different sort of pole.

He's Spot Conlon's watchdog, always keeping an eye out for people who don't see eye to eye with him, such as Jack.

Bleach is light on his feet, moving from one place to another in the blink of an eye.

He sneaks up behind Jack, watching his every move. Bleach has one eye on Jack's back and the other eye on his surroundings.

Deep down, Bleach respects Jack because they both wear black, brimmed hats.
