Shoutout 2 The Brooklyn girls actually interacting w the Manhattan newsies, btw. Shoutout 2 Henry turning to Mack & going 'that's a big word!' when Roosevelt says that the future is bright & prosperous. Shoutout 2 Specs & Stray being related. Shoutout 2 Lillie-Pearl saying that her Spot is closest to Davey in act two & adding 'making up rhymes with Davey' to her list of things she likes. Shoutout 2 Pips & JoJo hugging. Shoutout 2 Ritz elbowing Romeo in the side when he pretends that he actually had a chance with Katherine. Shoutout 2 Bobbie saying that if Splint were to have a love interest, it'd be Buttons.

Specs and Stray being siblings is everything to me because the angst potential it creates is amazing.

The same situation as sprace, with Race waiting and hoping for Spot to show up and help the Manhattan boys but it’s so much worse.

Because Specs is up there desperately looking for his sister, for his family to help him and his brothers.

And she doesn’t come.

just read your specs/stray story and it was so good omg!! how do you think they became newsies in different boroughs (how/why stray moved to brooklyn, how they became newsies, etc.)

tysm!! I’m really glad you liked it

in my head they both grew up in manhattan, and stray left for brookyln when she was 15 and specs was 16 for the simple fact that there are more female newsies there, and the promise of better selling. even with how open the newsies are, being one of the few girls was hard: she got shit all the time (from them and their customers) jabs about only being there and being taken seriously cause of her big brother etc and it was hard

the idea of a group of newsies who understood that was too tempting, and something specs doesn’t get. up until the point of the fic he’s as supportive as he can be, even though her leaving stings. they met up regularly etc but eventually there was a definite split between them anyways. stray loves it there, where she’s truly respected and doesn’t have to fight for that, and is able to sell twice as well (due to brooklyn just being used to female newsies). this is something specs doesn’t quite understand because it’s not in his capability too, because I always wanna try keep my writing somewhat period accurate

they love each other to death but stray was sick of what she got in manhattan, and it left specs thinking deep down maybe he wasn’t good enough. it isn’t true but he can’t shake it and stray isn’t sure how to convince him otherwise yet

brooklyn being girls IS such a good choice it adds so many layers to Everythinggggg spot does. she Does need to say no to the strike at first because as strong as they are her girls DO need more protection then the boys do. its 1899 new york women were just . Not respected ESPECIALLY news girls. it was dangerous for them to simply exist let alone join a strike. spot had to say no because she needed to know the boys wouldn’t quit and leave her girls in a more dangerous situation

aroace gay David Jacobs who goes his entire childhood and adolescence thinking that something is wrong with him because everyone else talks about love and romance and he just…doesn’t get it. he knows that he’s never seen girls in a romantic way - which has its own deeply seeded terror - but he’s also never felt that way about anybody. he feels so alone as he grows up, distanced from all of his peers who talk of pining and courting others. and his family - bless them for trying, for being hopeful instead of reminding David that he’s broken and hollow-hearted as he knows he is - tell him that he’ll find the right one eventually.

David never believes them.

cue Jack Kelly, who bursts into David’s life like a firework, setting alight feelings that he never thought he’d have. it’s terrifying, it’s aggravating, and David wishes more than anything he could just be normal, but it’s impossible to deny. he cries when he realizes, because it’s not fucking fair. how could this heart-stealing cowboy awaken in David what nobody in seventeen years had been able to? this isn’t how it’s supposed to be, David is supposed to find a nice girl to wed and settle down with her and have a family.

but that thought is so wrong that it makes him sick to his stomach.

as much as he tries to will the feelings away, he gradually begins to accept them. because while he’s not supposed to feel that unfamiliar twinge in his heart when Jack smiles at him so wide and joyous, it’s there to stay.

and David finds, eventually, that there’s no other way he’d have it.
