music tag game!!! thanks @moominofthevalley for tagging me! you rock <3
current favorite album: this is a tough one since i feel like i've been listening to a lot more playlists than albums recently, but marvin gaye's what's going on has been sticking out to me a lot. the album at its core is about love and hope - love and hope for humanity, for the world, and for what could be. it's an album that has these two things deeply embedded into it, and it's all in the face of the many issues in gaye's personal life, in america, and in the world as a whole at the time it was created. it's a love and hope that i aspire to carry with me in the current world we live in. not to mention that it's so sonically pleasing, and i love its social commentary. okay, i think i blabbed on for long enough about it!
favorite song off the album: another hard question! almost all of the songs are incredible to me, but i think the most memorable one to me might be "mercy mercy me (the ecology)," a song that comments on pollution and environmental destruction. it's a sad song, but one filled with love for the planet.
current favorite song: i truly don't know! i guess i'll put two songs by two of my favorite artists instead. the first is "when memories snow" by mitski. it's one of my favorites off of her newest album! the other is "someday (i will understand)" by britney spears, a beautiful song that i just can't seem to shake.
favorite lyric from that song: from "when memories snow" - listenin' to the thousand hands / that clap for me in the dark. from "someday (i will understand)" - someday i will breathe / and i'll finally see / i'll see it all in my baby
the last song you listened to: i just finished listening to "god is love" by marvin gaye!
favorite lyric from the last song: it's a religious song and i'm not really religious, but i do find comfort in other people's faith, especially when the root of that faith is love! fittingly, my favorite lyric from this song is and all he asks of us (peace!) / is we give each other love
and now for the tags! don't feel like you have to do this lol @crackhead-ash @sawtoothcunt

And if I break. Could I go on break?
Be back in my room.
Writin' speeches in my head.
Listenin' to the thousand hands.
That clap for me in the dark.
- When memories snow, Mitski.

ough this song is so ... geto suguru
When memories snow / And cover up the driveway / I shovel all those memories / Clear the path to drive to the store / And when memories melt / I hear them in the drainpipe / Drippin' through the downspout / As I lie awake in the dark
And if I break / Could I go on break? / Be back in my room / Writin' speeches in my head / Listenin' to the thousand hands / That clap for me in the dark
when geto has to drive to the store to get stuff for mimiko and nanako and back to their sad apartment. that shower scene sounding awfully like the applause of the star religious group and he tries to bury it so bad at night but cant. writing know it all speeches in his room to preach to his new cult and ideologies that hes not even sure he believes.

Rating, Category, & Archive Warning(s): Teen & Up, Gen, & Graphic Descriptions of Violence
Fandom(s): Newsies!: The Musical, Newsies - All Media Types
Relationship(s): Splint & Ritz (Newsies), Splint & Tommy Boy (Newsies), Splint & Skittery (Newsies)

Additional Tag(s): Whumptober 2023, The Refuge (Newsies), Based on Newsies!: The Musical (UK), Delirium, Serious Injuries, Child Abuse, Memory Loss, Whump, Illnesses, Ambiguous / Open Ending, Hallucinations, Title from a Mitski Song, Blood & Injury, Mild Gore, which is really just. one graphic description of an injury but, Pre-Canon, only by a few months though, Bad Things Happen Bingo, Dissociation, I think? i am tagging it as a warning just incase, Child Neglect, Archive Warning is really just a precaution because this is rough!
Summary:
Splint isn't a stranger to injuries. She isn't a stranger to broken arms, or gashes, or road rashes, or anything of the sort — her arm has been in a sling as long as she can remember, her name is Splint. But — It's never quite felt like this before.
The other girls (there are about fifteen of them, all pushed into this tiny room) avoid looking at her arm, or if they can, her in general, (the last that one did look at her arm, a littler one, maybe about nine, she threw up — it's still there, rotting in the corner of the room, — so Splint assumes that her arm probably looks awful, she honestly can't bring herself to look) but they're still confined to sharing a bed with her, often, the girl on her right shifts so that her arm rubs against the sheets, causing her stomach to lurch.
Or — Splint's been injured plenty times before — why does this one feel so different?

When memories snow
And cover up the driveway I shovel all those memories
Clear the path to drive to the store And when memories melt
I hear them in the drain pipe
Drippin' through the downspout
As I lie awake in the dark
And if I break, could I go on break?
Be back in my room, writin' speeches in my head
Listenin' to the thousand hands that
clap for me in the dark
:C
