"No, you stay over there." His finger trembled as he pointed at them, jaw tense, nostrils flaring.

I love saying “of course” instead of “you’re welcome,” like of course I’m helping you that’s what I do, you were foolish to even consider an alternate dimension in which I’m not helping you. you idiot. you absolute buffoon.

something I noticed while watching Newsies Live (again)

I’m more than positive that all of you know the fight scene after Seize the Day. 

Towards the end, we see Jack run off and up one of the towers to the second level. There he stands, while Crutchie is still on the ground getting soaked by the Delanceys and Snyder. 

Which used to be an infuriating scene for me. I used to watch it and fill with rage and anger towards Jack, because he just watched Crutchie. I was just rewatching Newsies Live and paused it to make this post because I noticed something.

Jack has a horrible, (clearly paralyzing in some stances) fear of Snyder and the Refuge. When he is up on the tower watching Crutchie, you see him gripping the edge of the railing, biting his hand, breathing heavily, practically boiling with rage and fear.

I (personally) believe that, in this moment, Jack is experiencing a brief panic attack. He wants so badly to save Crutchie, but he’s so petrified of Snyder that he’s rooted his spot in fear. It isn’t until they drag Crutchie away that he can actually move again. He runs to his penthouse where his attack continues and he has a breakdown about what just happened (Santa Fe).

 After Santa Fe though, we don’t know what he does because the following scene is King of New York. But I think once he’s calmed down, he’s so ashamed that he just left Crutchie like that (which, by the way, he never mentions to anyone that he just watched Crutchie get dragged away whilst doing nothing about it) that he feels his only option is to skip town as soon as possible before any of the other newsboys find him. (So he goes to Medda to commission another background to get enough money for him to at least get out of New York.)

So in conclusion, Jack would rather have the newsboys endlessly wonder what happened to him, than have to face them again after what he did. Because he is so ashamed and regretful of it. And that like kinda hurts my heart because the poor boy literally couldn’t move to save Crutchie because he was so damn scared of Snyder. But we all know if it was anyone else, he would of been down there in two heartbeats beating the life of them.

Well, Kath, none of the boys in that room LIVE IN BROOKLYN. 

If Kath lived with her parents in 1899 (which she very well might have), she would have been living smack dab in the middle of Brooklyn. 

She’s so unafraid of THE Spot Conlon when she meets him because she sees this short man walking around every couple of days in the morning carrying three full bags of newspapers with anywhere from two to four tiny children trailing behind him grabbing and selling the papers from the bags as they go. She’s seen this man fall into a storm drain and laughed.

Spot Conlon is just a slightly uncoordinated newsie who exaggerates his clumsiness to make a hungry seven-year-old laugh. He just also happens to be the short leader of the Brooklyn newsies who has a resting bitch face and will deck anyone who threatens his boys. And Kath can respect that, but she’s not afraid of him.

[stripeconlon]

Honestly, he’s probably the reason she’s able to walk into that room of boys and sass them off. She’s like “aww come on, newsies are a bunch of big softies, I want to see this story unfold.”

Ok, so the most believable headcannon for me is Jack drawing of all his friends. So here’s ‘his’ Rare Footage™ of Race not smirking (as played by Ben Tyler Cook in Newsies Live). Let me know if you want the reference photo.

I was thinking of making a drawing series out of this. Should I? If so, who should I do next?
