[str4wb3rry-fire]

NO CUZ I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR AGES. GIVE US VITILIGO SPOT CONLON !!!

no no no you don't understand I've had an epiphany this is my new favourite hc:

Spot Conlon who got the newsie nickname because they have vitiligo!

[starlightandmusings]

newsies fic recs (from an english major):

no hate to those who like the 5+1 and just one bed tropes, but they're just not my cup of tea. (i have been called a hater.) instead, here are my favorite ao3 newsies fics, ones with intense originality, lyrical prose, and in-depth character studies. (;

canon era:

among the roses green by TheBarkeep. a jatherine retelling of the ballad of tam lin, featuring a gentle davey, tumultuous katherine, and poignantly-drawn jack. and, of course, whump, always. word count 66k.

Sacrifice by Efstitt. this fic is my roman empire. mayer jacobs and jack kelly have a history riddled with pain, and jack has to battle his demons to let himself be loved. oh, and the refuge has a fight club. word count 15k.

keep the earth below my feet by scarlettroses. i'm a sucker for race & jack friendship, and here, race is a prizefighter. jack is there to drag him out of trouble, forever. word count 2.6k.

tryin' to talk with a fist in ya mouth by Somanywords. jack kelly's full backstory, chronicling his grief, his darkness. featuring intense PTSD, art as a form of therapy, and emotionally charged prose. word count 15.5k.

Jack's Self Portrait in Apologies by Em_313. a different angle on jack's backstory, captured in snapshots of regret. meticulous period research in this one, as well as a whole lot of bloodstains and death. word count 3k.

cardboard crown (jack kelly, a life) by stars_and_sunflowers. this is my own take on jack's story. featuring a fight club, a debt-riddled race, and irish catholicism. in-progress, current word count 16k.

Escapes by Efstitt. jack has just broken out of sing sing, and he lands smack dab in the middle of the pulitzers' summer estate. cue savagery, a pretty heiress, and a compassionate spot conlon. word count 30k.

On the Road by Efstitt. sequel to escapes! ever more whump, this time in the context of a road trip. jatherine is endgame, and the plot is dazzlingly engaging. and, as always, brilliant characterizations. word count 56k.

Just Hold On Kid by flyinghome21. another jack kelly backstory (do you see a pattern?) flashes of years gone by; i was really captured by the way the plot moved, the highlights of what made jack tick. word count 27k.

melt your headaches, call it home by floodlights. latino jack kelly. jatherine. classism/racism, violence, startlingly lyrical prose. do i even need to SAY more. i want to eat this fic. one of my all time faves. word count almost 5k.

Best Laid Plans by TheBarkeep. ashkenazi jewish jacobs family rep! this one features a soft davey jacobs falling in love with a sex worker, jatherine sweetness, and teenagers bearing the weight of the world. word count 128k.

Jack and the Baby by tuppenny. cute one-shot told in jack's vividly unique, endearing voice -- he steals a baby in the summer of 1891. carefully researched, wonderfully executed. word count 5.6k.

of cowboys and princesses by TheBarkeep. little jack and charlie meet each other in an orphan asylum. jack is a fierce protector, charlie a wistful dreamer. this one made me cry. word count almost 3k.

honorable mention: for you are my fate, my sweet by TheBarkeep. cupid & psyche retelling featuring organized crime, meticulous period piece research, and a villain more horrific than snyder. this is one of my favorites, but i skimmed so much of it because it gets very dark. word count 149k.

(now would be a good time to get up, stretch, drink some water. will i ever stop yapping? eventually.)

modern au

No Way by Efstitt. this and the sequel have my brain in a stranglehold. foster care au ft a severely traumatized jack, charlie and jack gorilla glue familial love, stunning plot twists, horrific whump, mayer jacobs for king of the universe now and forever. this one made me cry like a baby.

Just Hold On, Kid by Efstitt. the sequel. i am getting these two as bound books by the end of the year. davey is doing an investigative report on the refuge just as jack gets sent back, and mayer won't let something like trauma or distance stop him from loving his boys. in-progress. current word count 56k.

Medda Crusade by sunkissedstar. this series is the perfect blend of fluff and angst, focusing on baby jack and his trauma in foster care, and medda showering him with mother love. series word count is 10k.

to be updated! i am currently reading Hell Is a Sober Crawl by glitter_ink, rereading for you are my fate, my sweet (TheBarkeep), and beginning Five (stress), all of which came highly recommended. thanks for coming to my ted talk enjoy <3

The View Between Villages

by, plxtonixmm by plxtonixmm It's been eight long years since Jack left for Santa Fe. After several misfortunes and a wedding invite, Jack returns to New York to a completely different family, pissed at him for his disappearance. It probably didn't help that he didn't tell them about his young daughter, Catalina. Angry about his disappearance, Jack is faced with an ultimatum: give up his worst coping mechanisms or give up his brothers.

Trans Spot Conlon!

[marvinjuana]

Omg I feel like Latino!spot would so love to watch One Day at a Time! The characters are Cuban but he loves that they address so many important topics

you are absolutely right, my friend!!!! he and jack love to watch and rewatch the series (and they sometimes make their other friends sit through it, as well). latino spot loves anything latino tbh. his current favorite movies are coco and beatriz at dinner!

[marvinjuana]

latino spot is literally the reason i breathe

Hear me out: mixed race newsies

Yes!I’m not sure how much justice I could do this fabulous headcanon, but if anyone else has any ideas?

[gracetrack-higgins]

hey can we get some of those blessed italian race headcannons please

oh HELL YES you can!!

- Race’s mom is extremely Italian. Like, Italian immigrant Italian. English is her second language and she raises her kids to speak both English and Italian! 

- When he’s in elementary and middle school he teaches his friends all the Italian swear words he knows. They never get in trouble for it, because none of their teachers speak Italian. But Race certainly gets in trouble when his 5th grade friends run around his birthday party shouting “minchia!” (shit!) over and over 

- Race tries to get out of taking a foreign language in high school by pretending like he doesn’t speak fluent Italian so he can get an easy A, but forgets he’s supposed to be faking it and reads a passage from the textbook fluently and is moved to French I instead.

- When he’s in college, Race minors in Italian and studies abroad for a semester in Italy and vows he’ll take his boyfriend back one day, because the only thing that would make that time in Italy better would’ve been if Spot was with him.

- Race makes the BEST Italian food. He knows he’s a walking cliche and he doesn’t care, his mom’s spaghetti sauce recipe is the best in the world and he’ll fight anyone who says otherwise

- Spot SUPER LOVES when Race makes Italian food because it’s always insanely delicious, but what Spot loves even MORE is when Race makes gets super picky whenever they go out on dates to Italian restaurants and gets extremely judgey of the food (also the atmosphere and music and authenticity of the restaurants) like he will find SOMETHING to be salty about and Spot thinks it’s the funniest thing ever.

- Race sings in Italian sometimes, but usually only when he’s cooking. It’s something his mom always did growing up and making dinner doesn’t seem right if he isn’t singing some sort of Italian music while doing it. 

- Remember how I said Spot sleeptalks in Spanish?? Race 100% sleeptalks in Italian. Like 9 times out of 10 if he’s sleep talking, it’s all in Italian. 

- When Race is super angry or frustrated he rambles in Italian under his breath. Spot learned a lot of Italian swears this way. 

- Race calls Spot Italian petnames from pretty much the second they start dating. His heart absolutely melts when Spot calls him Spanish ones in return. Race’s favorite nicknames to call Spot are “Amore”(Love), “Tesoro” (Darling), and “Cuore mio” (My heart). 

- after they get married, Spot surprises Race with a honeymoon to Italy. They spend a week drinking wine and eating real Italian food and Race proudly translates everything for his husband, who impresses him by having picked up a decent amount of Italian (though he definitely mixes up the verbs with Spanish ones). 

I !! Love !! These !! Boys !!!!!!

Chapter Summary:

Jack is not having a good day. Davey helps him through it but they manage to change their relationship status to “complicated” in the process. Because of course they do.

Extract:

He contented himself with rubbing Jack's back as the headphones were put away, hoping it would do something to help calm Jack.

The lesson began, however, Davey couldn't focus again. This time, it was Jack that distracted him.

Jack's eyes were almost cloudy, as if he was seeing something that wasn't there. And he began clicking his wrist as he had demonstrated when he came to dinner the other day.

Pursing his lips, Davey slid a note over.

“Are you okay?”

Jack stared at the note, his breathing intensifying slightly. Without looking away from the slip of paper, he gave an almost invisible shake of his head.

No.

That was enough for Davey.

He scribbled two notes and handed one to Jack.

“Grab your headphones and get out.”

Hi!! I love your writing so much, and I just saw your language hcs posts and I was wondering, do you have any language headcanons for Spot, Jack, and my girl Smalls? (Also I can't wait to see more of your work!!)

YES I DO YES I DO YES I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spot: spanish and english!! hispanic and latino spot conlon is basically a constant in Any Fic I Ever Write, and especially in losing my mind, its a big part of his day-to-day life. (and he makes fun of crutchie CONSTANTLY for his terrible accent.) but yeah hes a bilingual brooklyn bitch and i love him!!!!

jack: also spanish and english– his bio mom spoke spanish, and when medda adopted him, she made sure to have him keep speaking it so he didnt lose it. he tried his damn best to learn yiddish for daveys family but couldnt really get into it– hes good at languages when hes familiar with them or with the roots, but learning something completely new is hard for him. (he has a nasty habit of forgetting a word in one language but not the other, and as soon as he realized that davey was there at any given moment to say “its headache, babe,” he was like Okay This Is The Man I’m Going To Marry)

smalls– it really varies based on the au! i dont have one determined hc for her, but i really like the idea of her loving the way that languages work, so i feel like she learns a little bit of whatever she can. i have a spot for her knowing italian, and also for her knowing greek! and i think somewhere i have a wip where she knew asl, too. smalls is an intelligent fantastic gal and she owns my heart!!!

ask me about my language hcs guys!!!!! this is actually really fun dgsdgsjgds

[str4wb3rry-fire]

If you endgame ship jackcrutchie, how does that work with canon events (asking respectfully.) Was Jack ever attracted to kath and/or Davey? Does he try it with one of them and then go back to Crutchie? If so does that hurt Crutchie's feelings at all/does he date anybody else?

in my mind jack didnt think of crutchie as an option cuz its the 1890s and ppl wouldnt even talk about that kind of stuff. he definitely liked katherine and their relationship was meaningful but sometimes things just dont work out with people. maybe their lives are just headed in different directions and they thought they were better off as friends. jack would realize how he felt about crutchie MONTHS after that, and they wouldnt get together till many years later.

crutchie has known he was in love with him since day one, no one finds out until jack gets with katherine and race notices how it affects him. race and spot are the only ones who know until they eventually figure their shit out. jack probably tells race and/or spot at some point as well, making them both go insane trying to convince each of them to do something about it. davey would probably be the first person jack would tell tho.

regarding davey, i dont think jack ever was attracted to him (except in 92sies cuz there is no other explanation for that shit). i personally love aroace davey but if not that then maybe davey had a little crush on him for a bit, but it faded pretty fast after the strike. him and jack are besties.

if you cant tell i love jack and crutchie dearly and they have a home in my head.

[str4wb3rry-fire]

jack kelly and spot conlon are both latino... dont ask why, its just been ingrained into my skull

Being Impulsive

by, MoreSonorous by MoreSonorous David Jacobs was not a particularly impulsive individual. He'd had the same best friend since the third grade (Jack Kelly), been in love with said best friend since freshman year, and was perfectly happy with pining silently until the day he died, so long as things remained the same. Senior year rolled around, and the aforementioned best friend got a girlfriend. New relationships toss David and Jack's relationship into turmoil, and David finds that the consequences of acting before thinking can be unfortunately extreme.

He’s got dark curly hair, kinda tall, middle eastern, no tattoos but I don’t even know how many piercings,” Jack started listing off. “He told me he’d come to you for his tattoo he wants, but his parents are gonna have a cow. He’s got a Prince Albert, his eyebrow, tongue, and nipples pierced, I know. I don’t even know what else. Oh! Helix too.” Spot thought for a second then nodded. “I think I know. Weird, I’ve had this conversation with so many people…” As pathetic as it was, Jack’s head snapped up to catch Spot’s shit-eating grin. “You’re an asshole,” he let his head fall back against the wall with a thunk. or: it's literally jack pining for david in this universe Words: 1063, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Series: Part 4 of hot topic/claires Fandoms: Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken, Newsies - All Media Types, Newsies (1992) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: M/M Characters: Jack Kelly (Newsies), Spot Conlon, David Jacobs (mentioned) Relationships: David Jacobs/Jack Kelly Additional Tags: honestly. just for fun bc i love spot., dilf. tattoo artist and piercer. trans. dad spot, I do love him, Pining, Afro-Latino Jack Kelly, spot is native. bc i said so read : https://ift.tt/CZ6DNxI - November 16, 2024 at 09:08PM

by, V3ry_C0nfus3d by V3ry_C0nfus3d This wasn’t uncommon territory for him - both the fighting and the fact that it’s a Latino boy who *wants* to fight him - but he doesn’t feel like fighting today (how weird - around a month ago if he’d come face-to-face with this guy me might’ve socked him in the face. Times really do change). “I ain’t sellin’ - I’m here for the races.” The boy doesn’t seem like he actually believes him - but his eyes rake up and down Race’s body - studying him. Searching him for any possible papes that he could be selling - papes that if he sold he'd be taking money and customers from the boys here in Brooklyn. --- Racetrack is starting to get used to his new life - and he's starting to make new friends too. Amongst them is Spot Conlon - the head of the Brooklyn Newsies, and before a month ago a boy that Race doesn't imagine he would've talked to.
