Sometimes I just need Spot to go batshit insane when beating someone up, be it because of the circumstances or because of something the other one did
Spot going absolutely feral because someone was about to be attacked or already was and got injured
Yes he usually plans and thinks before he acts but sometimes
Sometimes you really don't want to be on the other end of his fists or cane
No I didn't listen to too much six hundred strike and got inspired
#newsies#92sies#honestly any Spot but mine is always 92sies#this works wonderfully for fantasy AUs too#spot conlon#king of brooklyn#headcanon#the one fic where Spot goes completely insane as he thinks someone just caused Race to die lives free inside my brain#let him become the monster sometimes#little irish murder gremlin deserves it

Glad that I am an inspiration at parts and of *course* I also have to add some things because Spot being so influential means a lot to me.
First of all my Spot is usually always 92sies Spot who looks scrawny and short and at first you don't know why people are even afraid of the kid, he doesn't look like he could do much. But you learn that he is scary, that he is smart, that he knows exactly how to present himself, how to know everything about everyone so no one could cross him if they wanted to.
He knows he needs rumors about him, that he needs information about everyone, and he has tons of newsies and other working kids at his disposal to find that out and because there are so many he can also make sure no one knows too much.
Speaking of other working kids I'm sure he's not just distributing newsies but also shoeshiners, delivery boys, some sweatshop kids for sure. He knows when a newsie can't sell right now and finds him another job for a while if he can, knows what establishments need some people for quick work every once in a while who will also pay well.
And he knows how to get people to owe him things, so much that almost no one can go around the city doing something without his knowledge or permission.
Also another thing. Brooklyn wasn't part of the city of New York until 1898 and if we are thinking that Spot was already Brooklyns leader a good bit before the strike then he had an entire city under his reign until Brooklyn wasn't it's own city anymore with New York. That man is powerful and scary but he doesn't look like it. You can easily look over him but if you know who he is he becomes scary and intimidating instantly
ok but i think we really gloss over the fact that "spot conlon's turf" consists of the entirety of brooklyn.
according to the 1901 Census Bulletin, the population of NYC in 1900 was 3,437,202. of that, 1,166,582 were in brooklyn. assuming that the ratio of newsboys to the general population is consistent, thats just over a third of all the newsboys in the entirety of NYC that spot is in direct leadership over. that is a lot of power.
in comparison, jack is only the leader of lower manhattan. according to that same census, manhattan's population was greater than brooklyn's (1,850,093), but we know from the scene at jacobis that manhattan is divided into multiple newsie groups, including harlem, midtown, the bowery, and the east side at the very least. jack only had the authority to declare that "the newsies of lower manhattan [were] officially on strike", so his leadership clearly does not extend beyond lower manhattan.
now let's talk influence:
newsies from other areas didn't show up to the strike after jack asked them to. just talking manhattan groups, we know for a fact that midtown and harlem didn't show, and we can infer that the bowery and east side groups didn't either. jack is potentially well known among the other newsies, both for his leadership of lower manhattan and his escape from the refuge, but he has very little influence outside of lower manhattan.
whereas spot's influence? unmatched. he decided to show up to the rally, therefore the rest of the NYC newsies did too. also the implications of the midtown newsies (literally right next to lower manhattan so they definitely knew jack somewhat) not being willing to strike when it was jack who was asking, but being happy to follow spot? hilarious to me. this is even more hilarious if we assume that the bowery newsies didn't come either, since we know for a fact that jack goes there often, since that's where medda's theatre is. spot has more influence over manhattan than jack does.
so yeah. spot is in direct leadership over a third of the city's newsies, but the other two thirds? they follow his lead anyway.
conclusion spot is powerful af (and he knows it)

My boy. Chaotic gremlin. If you can't tell I love 92!Spot Conlon because he's such a little guy and still everyone is afraid of him (not that you can't tell my favouritism looking at my fics on ao3) Close-ups under here:
Also thanks for everyone who reacted on the Race post, got really motivated to post this too due to it. Also did it in August last year and it has been rotating in the back of my mind since then :)

In which reader is putting the little newsies to bed and one of them asks a question that Spot Conlon overhears.
Short and sweet chapter.
1,077 words
~~~~
“Hey, Presto? Have you ever been in love?”
Your steps stop short as you’re crossing the small room the younger newsies claimed for their bunks. They always ask you questions as you’re putting them to bed, but it’s never this kind of inquiry.
“What makes you ask that, kiddo?”
As the oldest girl newsie, you take the extra time out of your evening to help the little ones settle down for the night and essentially tuck them in. It isn't much, but you enjoy hearing about their day and know that the feeling of having a form of a maternal or older sister figure watching over them helps the young ones sleep better. Besides, they often say and ask funny things like that.
“Well, I had a couple a’ extra papes left over from the day, and I was practicin’ readin’ and read a lil’ bit about a weddin’ an was just thinkin’. Have ya?”
