ik I only ever post and reblog about javey but I love blush. Blush you will always be famous. Blush you are the arguably most canon queer pairing in newsies. Blush you are so much

they need to invent a running away & never coming back that doesn’t affect your life
this is somewhat strange but I built a lot of the newsies in the sims and I had to download a separate mod because sim albert kept getting expelled and I couldn't keep him in school
deeply in character I fear
i sit down to write and suddenly i am the most distracted human alive. the chair is uncomfortable. my coffee is too hot. my playlist isn't quite the vibe. i need to research what victorian houses smelled like in 1872 for exactly 45 minutes even though my story takes place in space. and yet the moment i'm trying to fall asleep? every single sentence i've ever needed just lines up perfectly in my brain like some kind of creative parade i'll never get back.
dally and darry butt heads bc darry has always viewed grease as a curse from birth, while dally sees it as a prize to win. for him, grease is the best out of a bad situation. for darry, it's a reminder the bad situation never goes away. and it doesn't matter that dally thinks darry has earned his grease through and through. it doesn't matter that darry wants more not just for himself, but for the whole gang.
they love and survive in different ways and they never had the chance to teach the other that you do what you need to do to survive, no matter how messy, but you also have to let yourself believe you were destined for more.
a little ralbert for the soul

92sies post-strike universe where Denton gets David a job writing pieces for the Sun and also takes a young lady named Katherine Plumber under his wing and helps fuel her ambition as a reporter and Denton introduces them because he thinks they'd get along but actually they hate each other's guts and are rivals and hijinks ensue until they become best friends
Shameless plug for the Outsider's fic I just wrote, centered on Two-Bit's perspective on getting jumped.
I wanted to explore his feelings about being injured by a girl (grappling with his own judgements of femininity and also his sister, who has always wanted to be 'pretty' like a Soc girl), his shame around being used as a message, and his fear for his family.
I've always loved the complexity of Two-Bit having a loving family, and his getting jumped is a detail I'm so glad got added into the musical.
There is also incredibly vague Marbit if that's ur thing.
Anyways, check it out if you're interested!
The wasp in the length of my arm - Oh hi so long no full piece. Well this is a redraw I’ve been meaning to do for the longest time. I don’t do redraws too much because to be honest I cannot say if I like the lost recent one better or the older original version. There’s always something so charming about the things you do when you’re experimenting and they feel less polished and honest. That being said I have been thinking about this piece a lot because I did this around four years ago (in the middle of the pandemic) and it felt to important to me, in a personal sense and also because I longed to go out and live in the real world. Sufjan is of course forever a favorite of mine and I could talk for hours about his work. I wanted to revisit this piece.
My challenge right now is not letting my innie-cam (haha severance reference) take over my whole life. I need to nurture my outer existence and that what is most important to me which is, making art. Hope you sufjan fans still enjoy this version. Love.
