if you are wondering who cares about davey, it is ME!! I DO. me. right here.
that’s my boy that’s my tragic overlooked boy in love with a boy so Please if ur ever wondering
I will be sitting in my corner caring a Lawt about my fictional boy and the technically Not Canon pain he goes through :D
Idk if someone has already asked you, but favorite Jack and davey headcanons????
mmmm i love this :D i have so so so so so many headcanons for them so i'm gonna try my best to narrow it down lmfaooo
overall
jack never stops drawing davey. he's obsessed. he'll fill sketchbooks with the most mundane things about this boy because he finds him so impossibly pretty
davey is taller, and jack pulls him down into kisses. be it by the tie, the collar of his shirt or his hair-- jack doesn't do tiptoes. davey also loves dropping kisses onto jack's forehead.
davey loves jack's hands. could stare at them all day. he's always wanting to hold them or run his own fingers over the callouses, or rub the constant streaks of paint off-- jack's hands are constantly on his mind
jack could listen to davey read for hours on end and never get tired. there's something about davey's voice, how soft and soothing it is, maybe, that's unfairly addicting. he'll listen to davey read anything, sometimes not even registering the plot in favor of listening to the rise and fall of davey's voice
davey wasn't touchy until he met jack. then he was like 'oh maybe physical touch does make sense as a love language' and there was no going back. they're sort of always touching, whether it's just their pinkies brushing or they're sitting on top of each other. jack's favorite is keeping his hand in the back pocket of davey's jeans, and davey likes to walk with two fingers hooked in jack's belt loop.
davey kisses all of jack's scars whenever he gets the chance.
jack kisses davey's freckles in the same way, if he's not using them to draw constellations.
canon era
jack's always tugging davey around by the tie. there's no stopping him.
jack blows all of his meager spare change on green paints and pastels because he wants to get the color of davey's eyes just right
even though jack's technically catholic, he finds himself obsessively trying to learn everything about judaism to be closer with davey. he wants to understand everything about davey's traditions, and there's something about the way davey lights up with love and passion as he explains his religion that makes jack fall a little bit more in love every time.
modern era
jack steals all of davey's clothes and davey is powerless when it comes to stopping him (he even steals the sweaters that he complains are nerdy, and davey pretends to be annoyed, but the sight of jack in his clothes is just... yeah)
jack learns how to brew tea just for davey and davey teaches himself all of the recipes jack's mamá used to make, even if they're too spicy for him and he gets a runny nose every time he makes one for dinner
davey, a polyglot, did not know spanish when he met jack. jack, fluent in spanish and english and nothing else, wonders how the hell his boyfriend (who fluently speaks languages as difficult as yiddish and polish) doesn't know spanish and takes it upon himself to teach davey. davey is so enamored by the gentle way in which jack teaches that he doesn't tell jack that he picked up spanish fluently about three months after dating him. when jack finds out years later, hell is raised-- but then the happiness he gets from being able to speak his native language with the man he loves the most outweighs any overdramatic feelings of betrayal
can you believe that isn't even it? these are just my favorite ones i could come up with off the top of my head.
thank you so much for the ask oml <3
jewish david jacobs erasure makes me sooo mad. was just reading a fic where they portrayed him as a christian celebrating christmas and i just closed it because … that damned boy is jewish. idc.
and the fic was good too, but that sort of thing just saps my enjoyment entirely.
another thing: it is actually canon that the boy is jewish. ik it isn’t obvious in the more popular forms of media but it is in fact canon in the original hard promises script. so. so why would you write him christian??? I don’t understand <3
respect jewish characters challenge impossible mode😍
david jacobs and being alive from company go hand in hand for me
justtttt the yearning for human connectionnnn it really gets me
davey jacobs with freckles and curly hair. davey with green eyes and round-frame glasses. awkward, tall, lanky davey with a big nose and big ears. davey, terribly pale because he isn’t quite friends with any of the other children in the neighborhood, so you won’t catch him playing outside. davey with cold hands. davey with big eyes and long, black lashes. davey jacobs with cheekbones and a jawline that could cut glass. davey with hipbones that jut out and shadows under a few ribs. davey with a constellation of freckles on his back.
thatssss my david jacobs and im thinking abt him extra today.
(and do NOT get me started on genderbent davey or ill never stop)
writing a blurb that involves Jack Kelly giving a certain someone a haircut. should he fuck up yes or no (the consequences will not be extreme)
^
yeah bro ain’t a barber
nah he will scrape by on sheer will alone
It seems the people want my rant, since 100% of you answered yes to the poll— so here goes, and please don’t flame me too bad! I know uksies is beloved but after talking to @jackmkelly I gotta share my opinion
here goes
I really do not like Davey’s costume in uksies. I don’t despise all of it- I like the shape of his sleeves, the proper cut of his pants and the height of his collar, but I especially hate his color palette. Actually I sort of despise his color palette, or lack of one. Uksies colors Jack, Katherine, and Crutchie pretty well, and I’m only saying that because they manage to stand out splendidly against the mass of miserable, bland gray and black and white. In my opinion, they fucked Davey’s color palette up so incredibly hard— like WHY is Davey gray and brown like a background newsie? Why doesn’t he have any color at all?
(Take a moment to admire Ryan’s beauty and perfect Davey portrayal before rejoining me on my soapbox. Does this not look positively gray? It’s so *bland*.)
Okay so either I’m colorblind, or this is just the most boring, nondescript pallete known to man. why, even in act 2, is he still blending in with the background? You’d be hard pressed to spot bro in a group of newsies, which doesn’t make any sense because he’s co-leading a strike at this point.
in livesies (and also in 92sies), we see Davey’s personality journey in his costume. In livesies he adopts Jack’s signature blue, rolls his sleeves up and unbuttons his waistcoat to show that he’s truly grown into his position as leader. In 92sies, Davey’s silhouette also changes to mimic the casualty of Jack’s costume. The color symbolism in the film and in 92sies is really important to me and I think it shows off Dave’s journey as a character very well.
In uksies he just remains so boring and it makes me so angry because it’s literally blatant Davey erasure imho. Why doesn’t he get a smidge of Jack’s red? Or literally any other color? Just a necktie or some suspenders would suffice. Some sort of visible change. Why can’t he roll up his sleeves or unbutton his collar? I’ve seen people saying his color is green (I haven’t seen any physical green on his costume but I could be missing something. @make-friends-with-the-rats sent me a picture that looks fairly green but that disappears under the stage lighting, as you can see in the pics above) but idk. It just rubs me the wrong way that the only change we see is an unbuttoned vest.
Where’s the determination? Where’s the assimilation into the rest of the group? Ryan Kopel’s Davey is anxious, yeah, but he gets angry and frustrated in act 2. He has character growth that is not acknowledged in his costume.
Anyways, rant over. This has bothered me since I watched the bootleg. It’s probably not a big deal in the end but those are my thoughts lol. If you have a potential explanation for this choice pls do lmk
(Uksies lovers please do not flame me too hard, I love Ryan’s portrayal of Davey I just think they did bro dirty with the black and white fit. I have huge gripes with their costuming in general but this is the biggest offense to me. Again— love the production. It made serious strides and it was very well done. But this costume… :( )
I JUST GOT CAST AS ALICE IN MY UNIVERSITY’S PRODUCTION OF ALICE BY HEART THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!
BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS SCREAMING CRYING SHOUTING WAHOO WAHOO EAHOO!!
