One thing I’ve learned through my years of consuming live theatre and bootlegs of live theatre is that you can almost always tell when someone used to be a Newsie.
They always have this like indescribable quality about how they move even compared to other incredibly well trained dancers. I think it’s just because Newsies is such an insane, other level caliber of dance that it just brings them to another quality of movement.
I don’t know how to describe it. I just know that whenever I watch something the Newsie always stands out.
okay so we’re always talking about disaster Davey, constantly on the edge of insanity, holding all the fragments together because he’s a Good Student, Good Brother, Good Son, Good Friend (by we i mean @we-are-inevitable all day everyday). And how Jack is the one that helps him hold on.
But. What if they never happened?
Sure they’ve passed each other and they have common friends. But Davey is oh so busy and there’s an essay due tomorrow and my parents anniversary is coming up and i was going to surprise them and I still need to buy Les a birthday gift and he really doesn’t have time for a boyfriend.
Jack is always at the edge, trying to reach for Davey’s hand, to pull him out of his self inflicted hurricane of Responsibility but Davey can’t, won’t reach out because he’s convinced he can get the hurricane under control.
Cut to years later and Davey feels like he might finally be in a decent place. Still burdened but ready to let someone - let Jack in. Only to find out how much he missed. Jack’s happy…with someone else. Perhaps they’re just engaged but it’s pretty serious and Davey is hit with the realisation that he’s just let someone incredible slip away
Each pin is printed on wood and will be an inch and a half tall. Features new, revised artwork for Jack and Katherine since my last pins were made, and introducing Davey's design too!
This preorder listing will be up until September 4th. After that date I will place the order for the pins and once they arrive to me, I will immediately start shipping them out. This presale is to cement how many of each design I need to stock, and to fund their manufacturing. The estimated shipping time is late September/early October. I'll update this as things go along.
They are individual listed in the drop down, to get a pair or full set, add each one individually to your cart.
