just watched the newsies 1992 bts... they're so sillyyyyy 😭

gif version if anyone wants it:

“haha wdym newsies has fish symbolism and it’s important” LISTEN. when Jacobi says “who says water isn’t important? just ask a fish… in the desert.” what does a desert notoriously lack? water. what does a fish notoriously need? WATER. but where do the newsies come in, you ask? these kids are being made to survive in an environment that isn’t giving them what they need to survive. doesn’t that sound familiar? ALSO, in CTB when buttons goes “we’s as free as fishes”— this enforces the fish metaphor. fish also travel in schools- similarly to how the newsies rely on each other to survive.

that’s pretty much it, thank you for listening to my rant

[knockoff-conlon]

in manhattan, when one newsie gets sick, they all get sick. and they're fucked right now. "it ain't my fault!" jojo shouts. "buttons got me sick!" everyone rounds on buttons.

"yeah, like i fuckin chose to be sick," he mutters. the crowd of sick newsies starts yelling at him.

"everyone shuddup!" jack shouts from his bed. "i got a headache."

"someone gimme some help out here!" tommy boy calls from outside. specs, blink, and skittery go to give him a hand with whatever it is.

"what happened?" all the newsies hear snatches of conversation from outside.

"-in the street."

"-when to stop-" blink and skittery enter, holding an unconscious race between them. "ay, mush, move it." they toss race onto a bed.

"what happened to him?" ike asks quietly. there's a small cut on race's forehead that's bleeding.

"oh, he passed out in the street," skittery explains. "he's sick and wouldn't take the day off. never was very smart."

"now he's dead," blink adds.

"what?" a shout goes up from some of the younger ones until mush smacks blink around the head and tells everyone blink's kidding.

"they're kids, stop scarin them," mush orders him. "also, race being sick means only one thing. someone has gotta go tell spot conlon."

"yeah, that ain't scary," blink mutters. "uh, boots, go to brooklyn and tell spot he's got a sick boyfriend." boots heads off dutifully.

the next hour is a mess. all the newsies fret over race, who sleeps the whole time. and then everyone goes silent and dumbstruck when spot enters.

they're used to cold, intimidating, angry spot. not a caring spot. not a spot who immediately runs to race's side and starts checking on him.

spot presses his hand to race's forehead and then hugs him tight, pressing kisses to the top of his head. "ay!" crutchie shouts. "everyone hit the beds and give them some space!" race wakes up soon enough, with a worried spot sitting bedside.

"race!"

"whatcha doing here? i's just sick. ain't dying or nothing." spot kisses his forehead and stares at him.

"ya passed out in the street. gotta take it easy."

"when one of us gets sick, we all get sick. i ain't dying, spot, i promise."

"you need food." race shrugs.

"i ain't hungry."

"race. listen to me. you need food, you're sick."

"i'll throw it up."

"i will shove it down your throat if you don't eat the food i bring ya."

"spot-"

"tony. shut up. i's getting you some chicken soup. don't argue." race watches him walk out, smiling a little dopily.

all the newsies start hooting and cheering, whistling at race.

"alright, alright!" race shouts. "i got a headache."

DAVID JACOBS & MUSH MEYERS requested by anonymous

NEWSIES (1992) dir. kenny ortega

[mushiimune]

I've kept this headcanon to myself for years but I think Mush would keep a little blue marble in a pouch in his pocket because it reminds him of Blink's eye. He'd reveal it by accident one day. Blink is shocked but not totally surprised, because Mush is sentimental like that.

Blink plays it cool, even though he's absolutely melting inside because how ever did he manage to find somebody so endearing to have on his side?

[make-friends-with-the-rats]

GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

David is only wearing his undershirt at the end of the movie because Mush Meyers is a bad influence

THE ANSWER WAS RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES

[kai-in-the-korner]

fellas… pt 2

[jack-kellys]

this isn’t important but in tuts the transition into santa fe isn’t jack running from snyder it’s other newsies running from cops/strikebreakers and u see them chasing the kids. those scrapes we talked abt a while back on race’s forearms? it’s bc he falls on them and you see him scrape them up. anyway gn chat

[uncertaininnit]

this but blush my beloved. Why are there no good pictures of them at all

[onmebackmush]

it's dangerous to go alone... take these

[extra-sketch]

Crutchy, mush, and Blink

[trustworthytoast]

The fact that proshot Mush has by far the straightest energy of all the Newsies is so funny to me

He looks like the biggest Chad

And probably everbody thinks of him as this one guy who gets every girl and never settles down

And then he casually mentions he has a partner

And then everybody's exited to meet this lucky girl who managed to make this player settle down

Just imagine their faces when he brings Blink with him

This boy with one missing eye and this darkness in his remaining one like he has seen a lot of bad stuff in his life

But they are just so cute together

Like so adorable it hurts

And everybody is just so baffled how the boy with the biggest Chad energy is so casually and confidentely so queer

[thatoneandlonelyemo2005]

You know when Mush says "Met this girl last night" and Blink talking about the "Saturday night with the mayor's daughter"

They are just hiding their gayness, trust
