I feel like a universal newsies-fan experience is trying to sing Watch What Happens or Santa Fe only to realize you can’t

i found something in the woods somewhere // javid
Tumblr media
Summary:
Fresh. That’s the word that he keeps coming back to. Growing up in the city, he’s never had access to this kind of environment– fresh air and quiet, trees everywhere, dense wood all around. It’s lovely, but David really hasn’t had the chance to explore it.
Something tugs in his chest, and whispers in the back of his mind: You have time now. Why not?
Seventeen minutes later, dressed in jeans and converse, wearing a blue and black flannel, with nothing but a backpack full of four plastic water bottles and a whole box of granola bars, David crosses the treeline in his own backyard and walks into the woods. - David Jacobs doesn't know who he is. He wants to find out.
Jack Kelly knows exactly who he is. Maybe he doesn't want to.
After a lifetime of feeling stagnant, Jack and David search for the answers.

I think the newsies guilt trip Jack over his betrayal endlessly.
Race: hey can you buy me lunch?
Jack: no you can afford it I saw how many papes you sold today
Race: *dramatic sigh* but *looks down* you know, with that fancy new job o yours n... *kicks his foot forward with his hands in his pockets* n the way you... *looks up at him with big eyes* well, you know...

i wish people treated medda as if she was more than jacks mother figure. yes she is that and yes its beautiful that shes willing to be that for him & the fact that he has that support system & safety net is wonderful HOWEVER, shes also a black woman in 1899 who is successful enough to run her own theatre. shes also a woman who was willing to risk losing her theatre or getting blacklisted because she helped those kids and allowed them to hold a rally in her theatre. (in the book she literally mentions the papers have power over her too. if reviews don’t get published her career is at risk). shes an Incredible and mesmerizing performer who can fill seats nightly. shes probably saved a few of the boweries from ending up on the streets. she lets jack come in and get paid for doing art which he just Enjoys. clearly shes just willing to Help people who heed it. shes an incredibleeee character with an enormous heart and while she does love jack she is so so much more than “jacks mom” :’)))

If you can’t reach me it’s because I’m still thinking about Jack’s Santa Fe painting and the color of Katherine’s costume

(aaron burr voice) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
in all seriousness though here's all the canon information the uksies cast shared, hope you all enjoy etc etc, a lot of people were stressed af trying to find all of this out (special mention to alex christian, what a king) so i'm very happy you all get to see it!!!!
if i can ask one thing though, if anyone uses a chunk of this in character info posts or anything, please link this post!! like i said a lot of this we had to squeeze out of cast members, some of it was made up on the spot specifically because we asked, and for henry mush he specifically trusted ellie (creator + overlord of the trading cards) to create a canon name + backstory + personal item for him so, we would really appreciate it if you just linked the post in small text somewhere if you're using a substantial amount of it :)

after the strike, the older manhattan newsies are *ruined*. like, comatose, barely awake, exhausted to the CORE. and the younger newsies are SO full of energy like 'YAYY WE DID IT' and the older newsies can only respond with 'ough' before they collapse onto a table at jacobi's. some of the older newsies have taken to sleeping in the same beds at the lodge because it helps them sleep easier. after jack moves to be with davey working in pulitzer's office, race and albert take over the manhattan newsies, trying to keep the morale up while barely keeping it together themselves. when albert suddenly breaks down in tears trying to get the younger newsies to just please listen to him, the only thing race really knows to do is hug him as tight as he can and try to kiss his cheek as inconspicuously as possible.
of course, it doesn't go unnoticed. it creates tradition and openness within the younger newsies; they feel comfortable crying in front of each other for the first time, and often kiss each other on the cheek or forehead to cheer each other up. when jack comes to visit and he finds such a supportive environment, led by race and albert holding hands and wearing steel promise rings, he's spellbound.
he can't believe that race and albert brought this about.
he's so proud of them because now they can finally be themselves.

Sarah and Davey are the siblings who open up their lunch boxes and then immediately start pulling things out to switch because Esther always mixes up their likes but she really tries and they don't wanna say anything
