Hi, hello, I just remembered that you’re in the middle of your new writing month challenge! How’s it going? Is your group liking the new month?

It's going very well! We've got a couple dozen or so people actively participating, and a few more cheering us on from the sidelines. (And my cofounder and I are working out the kinks!) We're having our overnight writing event this Saturday night, and we're looking forward to a good turnout.

My writing is going well also. XD I'm using And If Thou Wilt, Forget as my project because I didn't have as much of a buffer as I'd like, but you know what, it's our challenge and we set the rules and our rules are All Words Are Good Words and All Projects Are Good Projects and You Don't Have To Start New and You Decide What Winning Looks Like.

My only criticism of the movie is THAT’S NOT HOW YOU MAKE MITTENS!!! The type of mittens they show Edgin making are knit in the round, not on straight needles like they show

I’ve lowered my standards, I thought that part was fine because 1) I believe that with determination and ignorance you can knit a lot of things very incorrectly 2) they were shown to be kinda shitty mittens 3) at least they didn’t show him knitting a granny square or something else that can only be crocheted

Newsie: Top Hat

Actor: Gregg Russell 

Top Hat is a tap-dancing, pickle-loving Newsie who likes to smile a lot. (Except for this pic)

He dresses in a black and white ensemble with a striped vest and striped shirt. He also wears a black top hat (technically a bowler hat but he wishes it was a top hat) and a dark scarf.

He smiles with his top row of teeth.

Also frowns with his upper teeth.

His favourite meal at Tibby’s is pickle on a knife.

1990s side hair.

After eating a good meal, there’s nothing Top Hat wants to do more than get up on the table and tap dance.

He’s friends with Spot Conlon.

Or maybe more...

#SpotHat

Sometimes there’s nothing to eat! (Except for pickles)

Top Hat can’t stop dancing

or smiling

and other emotions.

Race: died choking on spot

Spot: died because his red striped shirt was to tacky

🎭 👔 💚 🎨 😈 :)

Thanks so much for sending me this ask, anon!!!

🎭 Favorite production? It's 92sies, pals. I find the writing sooo satisfying, from the big stuff (David and Jack's arc) to the small (the period slang). The whole film shows an incredible attention to detail; there's always something to watch in the background. And using real kids gives it a sense of authenticity and pathos that no stage show can match.

👔 My favorite newsie outfit is Romeo in likesies. Idk, I just love his striped undershirt and striped socks. It's so fun! I also adore Jack himself in uksies and of course poor Racetrack in 92sies, trying so hard to look dapper and faaaaailing.

💚 What counts as a background newsie? I love livesies Specs, as well as 92sies Mush and Blink, but those fellows all have dialogue. If we're talking kids who have no lines: Bumlets, Itey, uksies Jojo. My favorite truly obscure newsie is Snaps in 92sies, who waves his bowler hat in excitement when Jack speaks. 

🎨 The best Newsies fanfic I've ever read is Partly Cloudy, Clear by Evening by ealcynn, part of the "how did Jack and Crutchie meet?" genre. Before there was badass Matthew Duckett Crutchie, there was this take: a tenacious homeless 12 year old who will risk a lot to help a stranger but DOES NOT WANT TO BE FUCKING CARRIED. There are also tons of cool historical details. Go read  it now and then come back here so we can talk about it!

I developed my appreciation for 92sies by watching this incredible video by Anya Naylor. Strongly recommend.

😈 Unpopular opinion? OK, here goes: sprace is 10x more interesting when Spot Conlon is a girl. Y'all say you are into Filipina or Black girl Spot from uksies, but where's the proof? Where are the stories? Where's the artwork? In general I'd like to see more fics that explore period-typical racism (or antisemitism and nativism) among the newsies or that newsies face. Please send me recs!

I have just remembered tomorrow is Saturday and I’m not going to lie, I’m nervous about the chapter. The Unknowing went too easily so there’s no way Tim and Sasha’s plan went smoothly.

I can at least assure you that they both survive.

I will also inform you that a key scene from this chapter mugged me while I was at work several weeks ago and insisted on being written even though I don't think Martin had even left for America yet, and in the note repository for said scene in Scrivener is the phrase "Oh, ugh, this is going to need so many CWs it's not even funny."

So you should probably be at least somewhat nervous, is what I'm saying.

@stripe-conlon As someone with a weirdly long torso, do you want some torso? /joking stripe-conlon But seriously, I have learned from possessing an adjustable dress form that the human torso is apparently typically between 14” and 17” from nape to hip and I, at the short height of 5’1.5” am 19” from nape to hip

Well now I'm curious, can we please establish how I'm supposed to take these measurements?

I do know how to measure the rise of pants, so I just measured the most egregious pair and it's a full 19 fucking inches from crotch to waistline, and while the models on the website do appear to be wearing it with a slightly baggy crotch look, I still feel like 19 inches is a bit much

Okay Rangers Apprentice? First time I was disappointed in an author! I was doing a college paper on themes in literature and to what degree it’s intentional so I sent some questions to a few of my favourite authors at the time and he emailed me back like “I think your teacher wants to know what you think the themes are, sweetie *wine glass sip*” like I was a 6th grader asking the author to do my homework for me. Like bitch no, I told you this was for a college class analysing author intent.

based on what ive heard in the fandom flanny is not exactly known for his communication skill ajhgsfjhs. i feel like I've heard he’s super sweet in regards to fanmail and such but not much else lmao
