Heres my first gift for @maggs-is-a-muppet for the @newsiesgiftexchange !!!!
They are best friends, your honor.
Mush can wear overalls, as a treat.
Les: I’ve already sent good vibes your way. They’re coming and there’s nothing you can do to stop them
Crutchie: This is the most threatening way I’ve ever been cheered up
Les: Do you think mosquitoes dare their friends to bite somebody with bug spray on?
Davey: No because mosquitoes don’t have the mind to be able to communicate in such complex ways
Les: Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were the world’s top mosquito expert, excuse me
Jack: We have a problem
Davey: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot that keeps making them
Young Spot: Did you guys know that sleeping upside down makes you less tired?
Hotshot: No, that’s a lie
York: Who told you that?
Young Spot: Knuckles, but she promised that she wasn’t lying this time
Hotshot:
York:
Young Spot: *quietly* She got me again
Race: The abominable snowman is sad because everyone runs from him when he tries to make friends… Yeti still tries
harry potter au (im sorry) where its sort of like the cursed child in which they all travel back in time to the newsies strike and while theyre trying to get back to the present theyre also all wondering why they look exactly. like the newsboys
Race: My friends are getting tired of me always talking about sharpening my pencil… but really, I’m just trying to make a point
Spot: Stop discriminating against me just because I’m mean
hey imagine your brothers having to get a job because your father lost his factory job because he got injured. after you come home from work for the day your brother brings his new friend home too. he repeatedly flirts with you all dinner but he keeps looking at your brother so you assume he’s just pretending to like you. they end up starting a strike and you have a couple more conversations with your brother’s boyfriend friend and they’re very platonic based/friendly. once the strike ends and he comes back from pretending to be a cowboy, he runs up and kisses you. and your last though before that is you wondering why he kissed you instead of your twin brother.
newsies au where its all actually something davey thinks up before his first day of work as something that could go horribly wrong and the next day he goes and becomes a newsies and he sees. jack.
Davey: You can just say you’re not Elon Musk
Sarah: I’m so gay I’m just hallucinating pretty girls
Romeo: I just realized that fish and death are the same in Hungarian
Romeo: Would you like some fish or would you like some death?
Spot Conlon really took be gay do crime seriously
Spot, doing magic: I will now attempt to saw this person in half
Race:Neat!
Les, clapping: I love magic!
Jack: Spot, you’ve done this trick before, right?
Spot: There’s a trick?
There’s a chance that Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes (who im pretty sure were newsboys in the 1900’s) grew up hearing stories about the strike and idolizing Spot Conlon (cause they were from Brooklyn).
Now I would like you to imagine Steve Rogers watching the newsies broadway musical only to find out that Spot has one line and is a background character
Davey: How petty can you get?
Sarah: I once edited a wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about
Cannot believe I run a fan account for a wannabe cowboy and his 200 adopted children
Spot: Are you okay?
Race: Probably not, how about you?
Spot: Nothing a year in bed couldn’t fix
Jack: I just, I don’t know how to put in words how I really feel about it
Race: Would it help to sing it?
Jack: Hmm, maybe… *clears throat* …AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *breaks down into tears*
Race, patting him on the head: There, there?
