Wanted to do an actual Jack drawing today but the voices told me to make this instead

92sies Davey doodles I made last night because I love him and think of him all the time

As an artist I feel morally obligated to assign newsies characters art equipment

(ALL OF THESE HAVE THOUGHT THROUGH REASONINGS)

Davey: oil paint or aquarell

Jack: Charcoal (to be exact Charcoal pencils)

Crutchie: pastel chalk

Race: digital art

Spot (specifically 1992 spot): oil pastel

Sarah: colored pencils

Our man Denton: lead pencil

Blink: Gouache

Mush: Acrylic

Boots: finger paint

Bumlets: those sand art thingys

Specs: graphic design

Skittery: ink art

Les: crayon

Delancys: AI Art

(Snyder Spider is the paint water you accidentally drink way too often, which gives you a stomach infection and a hospital visit)

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

I love that I can be Spot and Crutchie

the newsies as things my friends have said

jack: "I'm just simultaneously too stupid and too smart."

katherine: "do you feel like I called you out? good 'cause I did."

david: "guys I got manipulated by a six year old the other day."

les: "what if, after high school, I just became a clown."

crutchie: "last time I wore my bandana, everyone kept asking if I was in a gang. I just like bandanas, calm down."

race: "you best call me Tom, because I'm about to do some foolery."

spot: "I don't want to be endearing. I want to be feared."

newsies baseball au

the manhattan cardinals are a baseball team that is like,, alright

the star player is the always amazing jack kelly

miss medda is their coach

sarah is the team manager

race, specs, albert, finch, all of the manhattan boys are on the manhattan team

crutchie is the mascot, a cardinal named charlie cardinal

the brooklyn batters is the best team in the whole league

the batters and the cardinals share a rival: the new york rats

which jack likes to call the ‘rich no balls’

pulitzer (young, so he’s basically kath’s brother, not dad), the delanceys, and snyder (he’s younger, too) are all on the rats

katherine is the team manager

wiesel is the referee that the rats try and bribe so they can win

it works

davey got put on the manhattan cardinals after his father wanted him to play a sport

les became the cute little water boy

after a manhattan v brooklyn game, race and spot go missing for a few hours

spot is a sore loser, but he is very happy when race wins a game (unless race beats him)

the ny rats cheat their way to the top, beating every other team except for the manhattan one

the manhattan cardinals and richy no balls are the last two, since davey and jack both did amazing playing

katherine caught on to the bribing her team was doing and decided to tell the manhattan team

she told jack

in response, jack went to pulitzer to stop the bribing, because if he was going to win, he wanted it to be fair

pulitzer tried to bribe him

and failed

fast foward to the game

wiesel was taken out as referee because they caught on to him cheating

roosevelt is the new referee

oscar delancey hit crutchie in the head when he was batting

crutchie had to be taken to the medic center halfway through the game

jack wanted to give up after that

but davey and kath came and yelled at him

jack went back out there and played his hardest

and the manhattan cardinals WON

the rats got kicked out of the league because of the cheating

Would people read my fics if I actually got on my grind and wrote them? I have so many ideas.

What if the newsies actually sing Carrying The Banner everyday.

Imagine the crap all those people have to go through because a bunch of teenage boys are hopping around,doing flips, and singing all over their shit.

Davey: lighten up no one died

Jack:OoO so just cuz nobody died you think you can keep wildin'

Davey:um

Jack:I'm with you
