@blurglesmurfklaine - Spiderman!Davey Fic!
In which Davey is Spiderman and he goes through what all Spidermen do, isolation from friends. But, of course, Jack and the rest of the kids, doesn't let that happen.
Did a comic because Spiderman.... (surprisingly, this is the first time I've drawn ANY Spiderman and it's David, it's fitting)
Javey are SO New York I love them

" Don't ya know that we's a family? Would I let ya down? No way.
.. Just hold on, kid, till that train makes Santa Fe.... "
Finally finished my fanart for @allyheart707's Little Subjects!!
If you don't recognize the lyrics, they're from the Broadway play 'Newsies.' :) The song is about the hopeful dream of two young newsboys to someday go to the glorified town of Santa Fe, and escape all of their woes and lack of freedom. Soooooooo you can see why I picked it for my fanart of Ally's au. ;)
( I actually originally had the plan for Mikey and Donnie to be taking the place of Annie, from the 1982 film, but decided that the song from Newsies would fit better. :) The building where Mikey and Donnie are staying, is what the orphanage looked like that inspired the story of Annie! )
Anyways, I hope you like it, my friend!!! :) And I hope you're feeling better today!! Praying for you! <3
Two down.... four to go.. but first- Imma take a break cause I can just FEEL the carpal tunnel crawling up my fingers and wrist XD

Newsies of the Seven Seas
(Jack is standing at the helm/wheel of the ship and Specs is climbing up the rigging so he can be a lookout)
Jack: "Specs! Ya see anything?"
Specs: "I don't know. I can't get into the crow's nest."
Jack: "Why not?"
Finch: "JACK. THERE'S A PIRATE SHIP COMING."
Jack: "What's he doing up there?"
Specs: "I wouldn't begin to know."
Finch: "It's how I get a bird's eye view."
Specs: sighs "Now ya see why he's in the crow's nest."

Actual goddamn things people said/did during my school’s production of Newsies
Stage crew writes “troll strike” instead of “trolley strike”
Ensemble: “Every small child is going to think you’re an evil old man.” Pulitzer: “Well maybe I am”
“See kid? Women have legs too!”
“Romeo we can see you dancing backstage”
The villains and Theodore Roosevelt dancing
Davey: “This day will go down in PISSTOR- I MEAN HISTORY”
“If I drop my cello, PLEASE kill me.”
*holding glass upside down* “TEN CENTS FOR A GLASS OF SELTZER??!”
Davey: *Points at painting of Santa Fe* “Is this Arizona?”
Davey and Spot Collin keep shaking hands and then pretending to kiss
PULITZER KEPT ALMOST FALLING OFF THE STAGE
*backstage* “Uhmmm…why is there a box of dog food here?”
Jack: “You got a name, Katherine?”
Katherine: “Just think, while my father is…slipping??…we’ll be…taking him down!!” (She was great I wish I got to know her better before she graduated)
Spot was Pulitzer’s backup so when Pulitzer was sick the final confrontation scene was…interesting.
“OH I get fishnets :)”
Katherine: “And if I was a boy, I’d be…looking at you through one swollen eye!!” (It’s supposed to be “you’d be looking at me”)
Nun: *running around backstage* “I’m a nun on the run”
“I just don’t think committing suicide would be very fun y’know?”
“YOU CAN’T JUST PUT FIRE ON THE FLOOR!”
*Ensemble Newsie falls over* Weasel: “…Guess I have to” *pretends to kick them*
Jack drops all of his coins everywhere all over the stage
Jack: “You bet! Me n’ the boys will take a Journal over to the hike!”
Jacoby: (to a Newsie) “Don’t swing that aroun-“ *Does exactly that and spills a glass of water* “Oops.”
Davey: “Inspirational Speech time guys”
Les: “Are you kiddin’? She got no legs on!”
Pulitzer: “An escaped thief and petty…thief.”
AT THE END OF THE SHOW THE SENIORS GAVE THE BAND TEACHER A PINEAPPLE???

NR Queens
Besides the Bronx, Queens is diverse and scrappy. Their scrappiness is purely because they are also the most divided, due to language barriers. Newsies split up by language and sometimes ethnicity, either kicking out newsies they couldn’t communicate with or taking crazy work arounds in order to get a bigger group to protect themselves.
Leaders of Queens are expected to surround themselves by a diverse group in order make sure they can communicate across the entire borough. Their current leader, Georgie, is a bright and talented young 16 year old newsie who managed to make friends with a diverse bunch! She’s well received in the boroughs and is trying to make sure her borough represents themselves with pride. Georgie and her gang are located in the Forest Hills area, a more suburban area but filled with them richies!
They have a lot of work to do to be unanimous, but there’s nothing like a bit of traumabonding and a strike to help them along!
Queens wears mainly a range of yellows, though Canary Yellow, Mustard Yellow and Orange Yellow seem popular with the group. (Yellow represents diversity!). If they’re not wearing yellow in some way, Queens is repping their countries colors. They love to show where their ancestors were from and are mighty proud of their ethnicity.
Credits: Georgie is a Queens borough leader who gained her seat at the table from Kicks, both newsies were made by @ollitheheadphoneskid23
If you want to see your newsie featured in the rewrite, send in an ask with info about your newsie! I’m also accepting small plot points, ideas, and possible headcanons!

stay with me, just for the hell of it // javid
Nonetheless, it’s another two hours or so before he checks his phone. He responds to a few messages from aunts and uncles, posts a “thanks for the birthday wishes!” on his Facebook to appease his menagerie of cousins and grandparents, and finally opens Snapchat to see what those notifications are. When he does so, he sees a few chats from Jack- not an uncommon occurrence- but the last message stops him in his tracks.
jackie: hey happy birthday! i know i already told you but oh well
jackie: are you busy rn?
jackie: jk i forgot to wait for a response im on the way rn
