I forget Les’s full name isn’t canonically Leshem bc I’m so entrenched in headcanon newsies lore that I forget how sparse real newsies lore is

#newsies #les jacobs #technically they don’t even have a surname in the musical #which is wild

Here’s to me actually writing a fic in 2026… prayers up people prayers up

are the people feeling canon era or modern? do you want javey lesbians. do you want jathrid. what do the people want. tell me. I might not do it but I might do it

(Also why TF did the ui on this app get so awful? Every ad I scroll past brings up a PopUp. I’m gonna kms. Send help.)

literally opening a production i assistant designed next week and yet something is calling me and telling me to write newsies fanfiction....

#newsies #newsies hell #it will probably be javey #or maybe something kath centric bc we love women and its womens history month

don’t look at me I’m in the corner going feral for Corey Cott…

#newsies #jack kelly #corey cott #bc why was his Jack so bbgirl #started my morning with the Cott/Fank slime tutorial too they were so gay #It’s beautiful #but he has these big sad brown eyes #UGH #I just want to protect his Jack and wrap him in a blanket #And why is Corey still hot af and he’s pushing 40 that’s bonkers #he’s 35 I’m being dramatic

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 😭😭😭💔💔💔 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 bullshit😭😭

hey so jatherine has a way more "natural development" than jarah because they have more than two scenes together hope this helps

#newsies #jack kelly #katherine plumber pulitzer #sarah jacobs #jatherine #jarah #stop diminishing kath's existence during women's history month challenge #difficulty level impossible for the newsies fandom i suppose

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.

#i am real fucking tired of people stitching together all of the adaptations with white male characters and excluding everybody else #that stupid fucking brigading for ann margaret medda just made me want to explode #medda larkin is EASILY a better and more interesting character #better songs and costumes too #better actor and better singer as well tbh #just better in general #exhausting ass behavior bruh i feel like i see it every time i log onto this damn app

boy what are you doing

#if jack kelly isnt bisexual then i am dead #javey #no way this isn't at least a little bit homo #just a little #bc why r u hanging off of him jack.#thats a little.... gay

jackmkelly

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)

we-are-inevitable

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 we’ve had a black jack kelly, a latino jack kelly, a black katherine, an asian david, a racetrack who isn’t always happy go lucky, a crutchie whose actor is a disabled in real life. newsies have been genderswapped because gender doesn’t dictate the character- take uksie’s spot, who is a black woman, for example; spot is the same powerhouse of a character regardless of who’s 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 don’t have a “formal” education but they’re 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.

#im so sick of every newsie being a white guy #<- heavy on that #newsies #livesies #and also a man #I’m so sick of every newsie being a man #there were real life newsgirls btw
