Some less-known Newsies today! We have (from left to right) Swifty, Bumlets and Skittery from 92sies based on a very cute couple photo my friend sent me. (Most likely Bumlets is standing like that so he can feel taller next to his tall boyfriends for once :3) (Also btw their ship-name is Bumswiftery and they are so underrated)
has anyone ever wonder who was sitting by each other during KONY me too :3
First table with Specs, Skittery and a background Newsie
the next table (in front of Skitterys foot) has Dutchy, Spot, Snitch, and Itey (Better image down below)
then going back to the first photo on right next to skittery is Snoody, Swifty (who you can barley see shhh) and a background Newsie named Trance (i think!!!!!!)
Then at the way back we have Pie Eater and Bumlets, along with Race eating a fucking pickle for no reason-
but main table has Jack and David at the heads (THE FATHER AND MOTHER) Mush next to Jack then Les and Blink across with Boots on his side (or at least Boots comes up to that side)
Jake gets his own table which he is so fr, but I think Sniper sits with him because the next scene Sniper shows up in that area
bonus bc i said so BUT LOOK AT THEM OKAY THE GAYS THEY JUST-INGORE MUSH LOOK AT BUMSWIFTERY

The immediate aftermath of one of the trans newsies' visits to Snyder's office.

T/W: Homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, period-typical attitudes/bigotry, implied s/a, abuse
THE CHARACTER ASK GAME (no, I didn’t go check, that would be stupid)(I’m a lying liar)
BUMLETS
Bumlets
One aspect I love:
Spinnnnnn! I absolutely love the part where he spins on the fan
One aspect I wish more people understood: I feel like he is such an underrated character and he is such a cutie patootie
Headcanons:
Favorites
Food: Dumplings
Color: peach and aqua
Season: Spring! Perfect temp and he loves flowers
Weather: Sunny with a cool breeze
Hobby: Likes stories and gossip, sometimes they go to Jacobi's and just listen to people talk
Animal: Dogs, he has tried to smuggle strays into the lodge several times
Memory: The time Skit, Swifty, and him got enough coins to buy some popsicles one summer. They sat on the bridge and ate them and talked.
Comfort Item: His stick. He uses it to walk when their knees are bad and he also uses it to fidget with
General Hcs:
Uses he/they
He has knee and back problems but chooses to ignore it because he loves dancing. But this is why he carries around a stick
He’s close with Skittery and Swifty
His parents were immigrants. his dad worked on the railroads
His parents died and he ended up being in the refuge for stealing food before he joined the newsies. He met Jack there.
He can be reckless at times, but he's very responsible and will always stop if told to
He’s the type of best friend that will pack up snacks for you two to go to the lake at sunset and skip rocks across the water while you talk about life, death, and everything in between
He’s good at keeping secrets
That being said if he thinks keeping a secret might harm someone, he won’t do it
Bumlets is a petty ass bitch. Do not get on his bad side because they will get revenge and they will cover their tracks
He stims a lot and his brain is always going a mile a minute
One character I love seeing them interact with: Skittery, those two are thick as thieves.
One character I wish they would interact with/interact with more: Swifty. I fully believe Skit, Bum, and Swifty are like the three musketeers. They sell together, they hangout together, inseparable.
Hi this is gonna be Newsies as things my friends and I have said
Enjoy <3
Jack: Someone teach me how to spell
Race: S-P-L-E- wait
Albert, high asf: In the beginning,,, there was soup
Bumlets: Who wrote that, Noodle?
Elmer: No, he can't spell, he's a snake. Who do you think wrote Noodle's name?
Bumlets: Noodle, duh
Elmer: Noodle can't spell!
Bumlets: You don't know that, he's a snake
Elmer: Yes I do!
Bumlets:
Elmer: I've tried to get him to make letters with his body and it didn't work ;-;
Buttons: I have googly eyes and no impulse control
Race: KING CAKE BABY CENTIPEDE
Davey: I don't want to unalive because I'm depressed, I want to unalive because I want to get a good night's sleep
All of them, in unison: I exist therefore I am gay
Race: Skidaddle skadoodle, your dick is now a noodle!
Mush, frantically checking his pants: No it's not! You're a liar!
Davey: Move along bitches! There's a new WENCH in town!
Spot (take this one as you will): I'm gonna rearrange your guts through your ass
I have more, but I've seen a lot of these and I felt the need to share at least some of them 😂
if you don’t know who pie eater is, that’s completely fine. if you’ve seen 92sies, I would describe him as the dude with the dark brown hair and cheekbones that kind of looks like ben fankhauser in livesies.
their name is sammy (because I said so), and they use he/they pronouns (also because I said so). he doesn’t tell anyone about that, about how they sometimes feel like a guy, and then other times want to throw up if he’s called ‘young man’ or a ‘gentleman’. he’s not a girl, but they’re not always a boy, either. it’s…confusing to him.
the reason he’s pie eater is because one time, they said they wanted a cherry pie. that’s it. that’s the story. he’s always thought it was a stupid excuse of a nickname, but it’s hard to get rid of once you’ve got one, and apparently, the other newsies thought them saying they want a pie was memorable. who knew.
(henry is worried about him ALL THE TIME. the reason him saying they wanted a pie was memorable was because he never eats in front of the other newsies. they made the nickname as a joke, but they all seriously worry about him sometimes.)
they aren’t the best reader, but they try anyways, because he likes to write. he doesn’t really show anyone, but there are definitely some stories and poems carefully written on old papers that didn’t sell.
he plays stick-ball with the other newsies, and they’re actually really good at it???? like, he would be on a baseball team. just saying.
their first real crush was skittery (there was just something about the blonde hair), but he moved on pretty quickly when he got together with bumlets, who pie eater’s decently friends with.
(right now, he likes a girl he saw at the bowery. he tried to talk to her, but then got nervous and ran.)
(they would really like romcoms, but only the sad ones that make you cry. their favorite would be the notebook, and he pretends it’s not, but it totally is.)
After failing so horribly in my last try to draw Bumlets here he is in one pose where he looks so cool. I think it turned out really well actually! And I dabbled (for the first time) in coloured overlays to simulate night and like early morning sun and think it looks nice actually.
