Tell Those With Power Safe In Their Tower

My special interest is Newsies! I love writing and will probably share some of my own writing here. Don't be afraid to ask me questions or send me prompts! Feel free to call me any nickname you want, I've been nicknamed Sweetie by a friend- they/them pronouns here, testing out he/him and she/her can work too on some days. Not sure what my gender is- I do know I'm somewhere under the nonbinary umbrella even if I'm not entirely sure where yet. All of you are beautiful and loved and valid. Please remember I'm always cheering for you💕 Banner is a commission I had done by the lovely sneakydraws. Their art is so gorgeous and I adore them!! 💜💜💜 The icon is a sticker from @all-the-lovely-newsies, Dusty I always send my love for you!!! TERFS, islamaphobes, antisemites, racists of any kind, homophobes, transphobes, ableists do not interact. Hatred against minorities or innocent people is not welcome here

[jennilah]

i mean what did i expect really

a package?

too unrealistic

[jennilah]

amazon sent me a replacement for my lost package and it “arrived” today

[jennilah]

omg she recognized me immediately and got nervous with me while checking the system using my name

she was just as distraught as me when it turned up “arriving tomorrow” again but then she had another idea

mail is dumb

The mail lady saying “NO. I REFUSE to say it again” was more climactic than the Braveheart speech.

Hi yes I ADORE your hcs for Mike Faust Jack and how he tickles? So could I please if you have any particular hear your thoughts about how Mike's Jack tickles Davey/what he says and does general?

boom, under the cut

-he only finds out davey’s ticklish because they get into a small shoving match over who ate more of the bagel they were eating. jack went to pinch davey’s stomach to joke that he knew where the bagel went and davey, as graceful as a swan, nearly slipped off the stoop they were sitting on

-jack’s favorite way to tickle him is to sit on his legs or waist and just attack like that because he can reach all his favorite spots, and can access both his very ticklish knees and hips that way, and see the reactions davey would try and hide. looooots of teasing about his blushing and how he’s laughing so loud for such a quiet newsie

-davey’s got this snort laugh that jack can get out of him quickest when he tickles his neck with these little pokes, but its hard to do because davey’s so damn quick and catches on fast enough that he can grab jack’s hand or move away

[bigirlgiggles-deactivated202409]

Alright, so I don't know who Mike faist played in the original Newsies production, but whoever he did could you give us hc for him?

because he played a delancey i circumvented the “original” part. he DID understudy jack (I highly recommend checking out his santa fe. his full show is on soundcloud) so here are a few for his portrayal of jack.

-he’s a little more confrontational/aggressive. he’s not going to just let his friends cool off, he wants to know what’s up if he can help. he’s kind of that way in everything he does but its for a good reason. 

-definitely tickles people just to be annoying or make them feel seen. he loves picking on the newsies who claim to be too old for his foolery (e.g race, albert, buttons and even finch) to show his love

-l o v e s tickling katherine. he’ll flirt with her in a way that will get a rise out of her (she denies shes blushing the same pink as her nails ((he usually calls her “kitty” or some other nickname that only he has for her))) and will pull her into his arms to add to her giddiness and time it just right that she lets out a squeal when he prods his fingers into her side

-absolutely lives for holding whoever he’s tickling close so they have to hear him teasing. he loves saying stuff like “you sure sound pretty damn ticklish for someone who’s sayin they’s not ticklish!” 

-he plays this dumb game with the younger newsies where if they tell him what tickles most, he’ll tickle that spot for a minute or two then let them go. if their response is “no where/i dont have one!” or “I don’t know!” he’ll claim he’s doing a favor for the next time by helping them find out.

Can I request some super ticklish, self-conscious Davey tickle headcanons/thoughts? I just have a lot of love for my boy

-Davey is very new to the dating game, especially since jack is his first boyfriend. he’s new to the fond looks, sweet nothings and those kisses and the soft touches with calloused hands that come with dating him.

-especially the soft touches. growing up with les, it was all quick, rough pokes to get the other to start laughing so that they would pay for their petty comment in breathlessness and ticklishness until they give in to an apology, or just to tease his little brother

-davey’s always afraid of seeming like a pompous asshole around the other newsies because he went to school. he knows how fortunate he is, and he knows things are different for other people. so he’ll shy away from conversations sometimes or simply not talk a lot around the others for fear of slipping up

-jack notes this fear, and his hands find that they are especially comfortable on Davey’s lower back for a brief moment, giving him a little “motivation” to speak by gently prodding into the ticklish spots on his lowerback or walking his fingers up to squeeze at the back of his neck

-davey will make passive comments about thin he is and wishes he could bulk up compared to jack, and jack will easily just be like “yeah, it’s easier for me to do this” and just chuck him on the bed and tickle him to bits and davey never. learns. his lesson.

Jack: Why do I keep you people?

Jojo: Because you love us?

Albert: Because you’re too nice to kick us out?

Race: Because you know we won’t leave anyways?

[hotcocoandmarshmallows]

Albert: We’re all dirt with the personality of a crumb.

Race: Excuse you I am at LEAST a cookie.

[hotcocoandmarshmallows]

Buttons: I need to go to the hospital

Jack: Why

Buttons: Finch said I couldn’t catch anything with my mouth so I accidentally ate a marble

Jack: First how the fuck-

Y’all ever get those random ghost-shivers, where it isn’t even cold or anything, but all of a sudden it feels like you are full of static electricity and you shake uncontrollably?

[rubykgrant]

The pictures might make it seem like a slow process, but this really happens very rapidly in just a few seconds

[rubykgrant]

One just hit me

[jelloapocalypse]

I once heard that this is your brain randomly zapping you with electrical signals to make sure you’re not dead. Not sure if that’s true.

[im-doing-better-now-bitch]

My brain, seeing if I’m alive or dead: VIBE CHECK!!!

[theargylegargoyle]

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Slams the reblog button so damn fast

Last night I had a dream where there were a ton of roleplay opportunities/servers that were open for whoever wanted to join and I was legitimately planning on watching a series just to be able to do a Newsies AU of it with ships I love, and honestly if that isn't a testament to how I feel about it I don't know what is

[reallyhardy]

you’re still our brothers———- and we will F I G H T for YOU.

[tellthosewithpowersafeintower]

Reminder that you are completely valid! 💙

You are too! 💜

I hope you have a lovely day, seeing you on my dash always makes me smile

And so do all of you who respond to my stuff at any point ever 💕

[tellthosewithpowersafeintower]

Jack Kelly knows he likes smart kids. Honestly, he can charm just about anyone and girls are sweet and every now and then he has the chance to chase after a pretty fella. He's a flirt, but he cares an awful lot more about people than he wants to let on.

So when this new guy shows up, completely outta place and not a clue what he's doing, Jack can't help but want to give him hand. So he buys the cute guy fifty more papes, because he is cute and why not, and honestly even when he signs up to partner with the really pretty boy he doesn't think anything is going to come out of it. The kid reveals he's got a family, and he probably ain't gonna want to stick around all that long and if nothing else Jack has a new friend out of the deal. But THEN

The strike

And Davey spends an awful lot of time around the Lodging's, with the boys, and he and Jack end up a lot closer than he expected. Even if he isn't sure quite why, he can't get Davey out of his head and looks forward to sharing his newest thoughts and headlines with his selling partner because Davey has just fit in his life. Even if doesn't realize any of it 'cause it all just feels natural.

It isn't until several weeks after the strike when Davey is upside down on one of the boy's bunks with his hair tousled and messier than usual, three minutes into rambling about some science word Jack can't even say as a subject that Jack finally realizes oh shit I'm completely in love with him

[and-i-lostmy-shoe]

And I am completely in love with this headcanon

[tellthosewithpowersafeintower]

I hope you feel better by the time you read this. And if you don’t, remember to take care of yourself. If you really feel like you can’t do something, don’t. Hope you feel better. Love you!
