OKAYY SOSOSO i just did newsies and one of my besties (PLAYING DAVEY THEY DID SO GOOD) recommended me a Javey fic by @more-sonorous AND GOOD GOLLY IT WAS SOSOSOO GOOD!1!!1 i just HADD to draw it :33:3 the fit is also what said friend was wearing in the show teehee :P
omfg I redownload tumblr and see THIS? Best day ever! This art is fucking gorgeoussssss! Tysm for reading the fic and making such a lovely piece of art out of it. I adore it!
this bitch seriously is anywhere BUT santa fe new mexico š
thank u jay user @more-sonorous for bringing epic mickey jack kelly to my attention and causing quite the reaction
saw JKells during my epic mickey play through n had to send that to cat immediately
and if I said the fit is serving body teaā¦
literally opening a production i assistant designed next week and yet something is calling me and telling me to write newsies fanfiction....
donāt look at me Iām in the corner going feral for Corey Cottā¦
guys the issue is not if one version is more diverse than the other the issue is its just NOT do not turn this into movie vs musical wars this why we look stupid af šššššš the movie has so many issues and the musical has no excuse for being as white as it is either . Think. criticism is Okay. no ones revoking ur newsies fan card for calling it out on its bullshitšš
hey so jatherine has a way more "natural development" than jarah because they have more than two scenes together hope this helps
OMGG i thought you werw hating on capathia!! i was so scared but you are so right about that post
no, the opposite. im deeply frustrated that so many people in this fandom ignore the actors, characters and fansies of colour who make this show and fanbase what it is. im tired of seeing people bend over backwards NOT to include actors and characters of colour in their 'appreciation' for the show. frankly im just tired of this fandom. first it was snubbing michael ahomka-lindsay's jack and totally ignoring the uksies brooklyn girls, then it was the phony and obvious as fuck brigading for ann-margaret's medda larkson (who is, objectively, A WORSE CHARACTER than the better written medda larkin), and now white fansies are out here stitching all their preferred adaptations and characters together in a way that just so conveniently abandons all people of colour ever cast in the show. it's EXHAUSTING.
boy what are you doing
anyway more of a positive light bc its 6 am and im already in a bad mood
(matter of fact lets wake up the issue w newsies on broadway/tour for only casting white girls in the ensemble because got forbid katherine plumber isnt white. and uk wasnt ballsy enough to give the world a black jack/kath either)
make your newsies people of color. make your newsies women. make your newsies immigrants. make your newsies different ages. make your newsies smart. make your newsies disabled. make your newsies gender diverse. make your newsies have agency. make your newsies strong. the thing about the broadway show that i love so much is that ANYONE can play these characters and still do them justice.
in past productions weāve had a black jack kelly, a latino jack kelly, a black katherine, an asian david, a racetrack who isnāt always happy go lucky, a crutchie whose actor is a disabled in real life. newsies have been genderswapped because gender doesnāt dictate the character- take uksieās spot, who is a black woman, for example; spot is the same powerhouse of a character regardless of whoās playing them. these characters are who you make them and you do NOT, and should not, follow the path of making every newsie White Guy #17. this is fiction these are characters you can give them diverse identities! diverse cultures! diverse religions and diverse countries of origin and diverse lived experiences!
also stop making them stupid. for the love of GOD stop making them stupid. maybe most of them donāt have a āformalā education but theyāre street smart and quick on their feet and resilient and they should not be reduced down to an accent for shits and giggles. not every newsie has to be a white cisgender man. get real with it. you agree. reblog.
annual womens month post sorry i miss the first im very employed rn
saw newsies for the first time yesterday. davey you will always be famous to me
just read ur hanahaki fics and they have. Changed me. i adore your writing style and i am So looking forward to reading anything else you write!!
oml tysm! Iāve been in a major creative block recently and Iām hoping and praying that Iāll get out of it soon. I hope to publish more in 2026š¤
so glad you liked the fics btw š«¶
