watched a newsies 1992 video essay and have been violently catapulted back into my newsies phase (did i ever really leave? debatable.) so i drew a little racetrack !! its not perfect but that's okay bcs i love it
(here's the video btw!! very entertaining 10/10 recommend)
I have no clue how I managed to pull this one off but here's a Racetrack for you!
I'm actually pretty happy with how this one turned out. I'm trying to complete more of my pieces these days, so hopefully with practice they'll continue to improve:-) The more and more I rewatch Newsies the greater my appreciation for Race becomes
doing our greek mythology unit in English is bringing me back into my pjo phase, henceforth, my brain is trying to get me to do a pjo x newsies au but I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO-
Hello everyone and welcome back! It’s time for Newsiestober again!
This is an “inktober” based fandom event where every day is a new prompt!
The idea is to get people involved and creating new things for the fandom and excited about Autumn and Halloween!
Like said above, every day is a new prompt and you can interpret that prompt however you like. You can write fic, make art, write a headcanon list, create edits, playlists, whatever you can think of!
There’s no pressure to do every day and going back to older days is totally fine too! This is supposed to be fun and low pressure! :)
Remember to tag your creations with #newsiestober or @newsiestober2022 so we can share what you create!!
So I’ve been playing around with script writing and this is the result since I’m eternally plagued with newsies syndrome.
This is meant to take place after Jack has come back to save David and Sarah in the alleyway, the Jacobs siblings and Jack have gone to the Jacobs apartment to clean up, the following draws on the plot of an earlier script where the Jacobs offer to help Jack leave for Santa Fe because Snyder and the rest are still after him, this happens right before they get the idea of printing Denton’s article themselves.
_______________________________________
SCENE: EXT JACOBS APARTMENT, FIRE ESCAPE, MIDDAY
JACK sits on the fire escape looking forlornly down at the busy New York streets
DAVID is seen behind him inside the apartment, approaching the window
ANGLE ON JACK there’s a noise behind him, the window opening
JACK ignores it, doesn’t turn around
ANGLE ON DAVID he goes to sit down on the other side of the fire escape, furthest from JACK, his legs are folded to his chest, stiff and uncomfortable, he looks straight ahead
a beat
JACK shifts, reaches in his pocket for a cigarette, aching for a distraction when-
DAVID
(Bitter)
So why’d you do it JACK?
JACK
(Haltingly, cautious, he expected this, has been waiting for it, but now he doesn’t know what to say)
I didn’t want to scab, I-
DAVID
(Boiling with anger, masking some suppressed emotion)
I don’t care why you scabbed. I know why you scabbed. Why did you come back?
ANGLE ON JACK speechless
DAVID
You had everything you wanted. PULITZER was practically begging you to leave for Santa Fe, he was willing to pay for your ticket! Why the hell did you come back??
a beat
JACK
(Looks away, angry)
I didn’t scab for the money, Dave.
DAVID
(Unbelieving)
Right.
JACK
(Snapping)
I didn’t.
CUT TO DAVID wide eyed, startled by JACK’s reaction
JACK
You wanna know the truth Dave? Good old Joe gave me money sure, only after he threatened you.
CLOSE UP ON DAVID perhaps there’s a flash of surprise in his otherwise unreadable expression
JACK
(Backtracking)
He threatened everyone. I had to scab, Dave. You don’t even realize what he could have done if I hadn’t. What he could do still.
CLOSE UP OF JACK AND DAVID there’s silence as they look at each other
WIDE SHOT OF THE FIRE ESCAPE both boys turn away from each other, look out over the streets which have gone quiet
a beat
ANGLE ON DAVID his brow furrowed, gaze contemplating
JACK(O.S)
That’s why I have to leave.
DAVID’s gaze snaps to JACK
DAVID’s P.O.V
JACK is still looking forwards, stoic
JACK
I have to… or PULITZER will make good on his promise.
DAVID nods and looks away
WIDE SHOT OF THE FIRE ESCAPE the air is heavy with unspoken words as the silence draws out
a beat
ANGLE ON
DAVID
(Haltingly, quiet)
I wish I could go with you.
CLOSE UP OF
JACK
(Laughs softly, just a little forced, he feels a flutter of something strange)
No you don’t.
JACK turns to DAVID, both boys now in focus, they smile at each other.
