spot's transition from "silly guy who it's rlly funny to imagine being intimidating" in 92sies to "intimidating guy who it's rlly funny to imagine being silly" in livesies needs to be studied

My Guys :)

It's been a LONG LONG time (quite literally a year and a half) since I really drew something, but I've been trying to get back into bc omg I miss it so much, and posting. Anyways here's my attempt to reteach myself with Jack and Crutchie (bc who else) I love them ugh. Anyways Idk I hop nobody sees this bc it's awful but I miss them.

I hope the quality isn't ruined bruh

i think it would be funny if jack has the exact same reputation as spot in other boroughs but just has no idea bc unlike spot he doesn't do it on purpose

[loving-jack-kelly]

i think it's like. jack would burn the world for the people he's protecting. jack will risk himself for others in a heartbeat. jack fights with reckless abandon. people who don't know him know these things because people stupid enough to mess with jack's kids have seen it all in action. people who don't know jack know his reputation as the guy who reads people like a book, the guy who is totally unafraid of provoking a fight for the smallest slight, the guy who escaped the refuge and went right back to life as normal. he's an almost mythical figure, this newsie from manhattan who holds down control of his boys so easily, who's never had to fight for leadership because everyone just respects him. nobody wants to cross him.

people who have only interacted with him once or twice don't really understand the reputation anymore because he's nice. he's friendly. he's willing to take anyone under his wing if them need help, willing to shuffle the beds in the lodging house and give up his last nickel to buy somebody dinner if they need it. he's funny and charming and has this easy repartee with his kids that makes it obvious he isn't in charge through intimidation. what is there to be afraid of?

but the people who actually know jack know that he's earned his reputation and it's his normal demeanor that makes it so earned. he isn't angry all the time, so when he gets angry it means more. he doesn't intimidate people into listening to him, so when he gets quiet and scary it's way more effective. he'd do anything to protect the people he cares about, so when people cross the line from somebody he cares about to being somebody he's protecting the rest from, it's terrifying. nobody who actually knows jack kelly wants to be on his bad side, but it's not very hard to stay on his good side, so his reputation doesn't scare them off either.

but through all of this, jack has absolutely no idea that every time somebody comes to visit with news from another borough they're as nervous as any of his kids get when he sends them to Brooklyn. why would anyone be scared of him? he's nice. he's friendly. he just takes care of his kids, same as anyone.

spot does it absolutely on purpose, he's spent a good long time convincing everyone he's a terrifying force to be reckoned with so that nobody thinks of messing with him. and he's very impressed, though he'd absolutely never admit it, that jack has managed to achieve the exact same effect one hundred percent on accident.

Davey, upon seeing a sleeping Jack: He looks so calm and peaceful. Race, slowly pulling out a trumpet: I’ve been waiting for this opportunity-

[lesjacobs]

how interested would people be into posts about the history of the actual newsboy strike of 1899/how it was adapted into the movie & musical? i’m doing research about it right now but i’d want to make sure people would he interested in hearing about it before i type the whole thing out

[mrryhaloweeen]

no bc this is real af why was there a guy named mush and why did i have to sing and dance as him

[lesjacobs]

mush was a real person! he was one of the three (spot conlon and racetrack higgins were the other two) characters in the adaptation that were named after people historically involved in the strike. i think he’s in the musical (i’m not completely sure but i think he has a very small role) but he had a much larger role in the movie.
