The final background Newsie will be up in some weeks time. This one has a lot of gifs that I have to make and go through, and I'm also strapped for time. I'll be uploading random gifs and images in the meantime.
Here's this weeks's gif:
Boots doing what he does best, falling with his boots in the air.
Meet the Fake Newsies
Fake Racetrack looks more like Crutchy, fake Blink looks more like Snoddy, and Fake David looks more like Snitch. Are these fake Newsies or Newsies AU. Anyone know the context of this photo?
Is that Pie Eater hanging out with Skittery behind Morris?
Nope, it's actually more fake Newsies. They are Grinner and an unnamed background Newsie:
Newsie: Jacob Davids
Is this background Newsie named Jacob Davids, David Jacobs' clone? That's the question on every Newsies' mind.
They dress in a similar ensemble and colour scheme, but Jacob's outfit is brighter. Looking closer, there are actually many differences. David's outfit is patterned while Jacob's outfit is plain. David wears a necktie while Jacob wears a neck scarf.
Their suspenders are also different, David has dark blue striped suspenders while Jacob has cream suspenders.
The Newsies determine that they're not clones, and that Jacob is just a poor man's version of David Jacobs.
What even is this dance?
The real David crosses paths with fake David.
Unlike real David, Jacob can dance,
sing,
and throw punches (even if it's just at the air).
He's also useful in a fight, Jacob helps Specs up the stairs by giving his back a push.
Rumour (no source): The actor auditioned to play David Jacobs but lost out to David Moscow. As punishment, Kenny Ortega forced him to wear the prototype David Jacobs costume (the one that doesn't cost any more money to dress the extras) while watching someone else play him.
Baby Blink on a playdate with Baby Snitch
In formal attire and 90s tie-dye.
Trivia: Although you hear Snitch talk twice in the movie. First he says, "hey" when he's in bed with Itey and at the end when he comforts Jack by saying, "come on, Jack". I don't think this is his real voice, his real voice isn't as deep and you can hear it in Blood Drips Heavily on Newsie Square at 3:58 where he says, "I don't want to die at a young age". (More words spoken than in the entirety of Newsies).
Newsie: Deck
Deck is a Brooklyn Newsie who wears his wine purple unbuttoned shirt tucked into his burgundy pants with his white undershirt exposed. His hat and suspenders are black.
If each Brooklyn Newsie had a Manhattan counterpart, Deck's would be Racetrack due to his love of gambling. He always has his deck of playing cards on hand.
And much like Racetrack, he has a fondness for tobacco.
He carelessly leaves his papes by the dock where it gets splashed on by Newsies diving into the water.
It doesn't matter to him if he makes no sales from selling wet papes, because unlike Racetrack who's always on a losing streak, Deck always wins big when he places a bet.
He hangs out with the Long Johns crowd. The reason why these guys are always in their long johns is because they keep losing to Deck in strip poker.
With the strike on, Deck's gambling skills allow him to continue making a living, and with that, he's off to the races again.
The other Manhattan to Brooklyn Newsie counterparts are:
Jack Kelly = Spot Conlon
Kid Blink = Bleach
Mush = Long Johns
Skittery = Chattery
Swifty = Raggy
Jake = Bowler
Newsie: Panama
Panama wears what looks like a Panama hat but it's actually just a white fedora. He chooses a fedora, which is what the Mafia wears, because he's a wannabe mobster.
In his future wanted poster, the sketch artist will include these defining features: long gelled back black hair, a cleft in the chin and a gap between the teeth.
Being an aspiring gangster, Panama knows how important his physical appearance is, so he never goes anywhere without dressing to the nines. The rest of his outfit consists of a teal scarf and a platinum shirt.
He's all dressed up even when out selling papes and getting his hands blackened with ink like all the other Newsies. This is just his first taste at getting his hands dirty.
Newsie: Gnome
Gnome is a young Newsie who likes pink. You may be wondering what separates him from the many other Newsies who also likes to wear pink.
Well, most Newsies don't see Spot Conlon as an older brother figure (mainly because they're mostly older and taller than him). Gnome's name comes from the original description for Spot Conlon which was "a freckled gnome".
Gnome feels safe whenever he's behind Spot's back.
This munchkin idolises Spot and wishes he was a Brooklyn Newsie, wearing the unofficial Brooklyn Newsies colour of Pink.
Here's a pink Brooklyn Newsie who doesn't have a name but he looks pretty cool.
Gnome is always following Spot around, hoping he will one day get noticed.
This blurry far away Newsie may or may not be Gnome.
Newsie: Chattery
Chattery is a Newsie who keeps his clothes stained by never washing them. He rolls his sleeves up high to air the sweat out. Being a Brooklyn Newsie, he's never seen a porcelain tub with boiling water nor has his body ever made contact with any water.
This lanky Newsie is on Team Pink (consisting of Swifty, Skittery, Boots and many more).
He charges into battle with his lightsaber.
Unfortunately, the lightsaber is actually just light reflecting off a bar. (Disney didn't have the rights to Star Wars when this movie was made so they couldn't do a cross-over).
Chattery is the Brooklyn counterpart to Skittery:
But unlike Skittery, who's always in a bad mood,
Chattery is always in a good mood.
