The gang played truth or dare once and it ended with Dally in jail, a potential rumble between them and the Shepard gang, Ponyboy admitting to smoking pot with Curly underneath the school bleachers, and Darry drunkenly confessing to the gang his torrid love affair with Paul
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.
newsies hadestown au with David as Orpheus and Jack as Eurydice
David working on a song (Always the mouthpiece, the poet, but until he meets Jack he cannot put those words into action, and until he loses Jack he can’t find the power to voice them on his own)
Jack giving in to death (Jack scabbing, he sees David’s dream but can’t deliver on his end for one reason or another)
Davey going to drag Jack out of hell (He sees the dark place Jack are in and offers him hope, this is literally the watch what happens reprise)
Davey leading Jack out of the underworld because he loves him, so much, too much, and he has to look back because a world where Jack isn’t with him isn’t one he ever wants (Davey trying to lead the strike without Jack, unwilling to speak without Jack’s words)
Jack following, content with nothing but the trail Davey leads (literally the entire movie)
Like has anyone written this and if so gimme gimme. The parallels are insane and I'm yearning for it.
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
main characters first!
Jack:
Draws all over his clothes. Put a pen in his hands and he’s immediately doodling on all over his jeans. Ff there’s a design he likes and doesn’t want it to wash away, he’ll ask Davey to embroider it.
Also draws on other people’s clothes (with permission. unless you're Crutchie and then he's just gonna draw on you).
Leather jackets and cowboy boots.
Never says I love you but always shouts after people to be careful.
Never drinks water and always complains about having a headache, but claims drinking water means he wastes time going to the bathroom when he could be painting.
Can't touch his toes. This is random but I feel it so strongly.
Davey:
CANNOT sit still (or normally). is always shifting, sitting backwards in chairs, pulling his knees to his chest. Claims it helps him think better.
Majored in the humanities in college with an incredibly niche concentration/focus that he will always explain in detail, even if the person who asked about it doesn't care.
Designs his own clothes (and decorates Jack's). He wants to look stylish but is picky about the fabric and fit, so he makes his own stuff and it's rly cool and unique.
Goes to parties to watch people and silently judge them. Stands in the corner with a glass of wine.
Everybody loves him. He is so popular but has no idea.
Katherine:
Rock climbs. Jacked back and freakishly bendy.
Runs the school paper and is everyone's campus crush. She doesn't know this and also could not care less what anyone thinks about her anyways.
Has this one bright red jacket she wears from fall through spring, and is therefore never dressed warmly enough for winter. Her cheeks are always so pink but she claims she's never cold.
Stands with David at parties and takes notes for inspiration.
(I read this one in the fic Nothing but Old Doubts Now by CoraRemarks on AO3) but she has two dads; Plumber and Pulitzer. This is fact.
Sarah:
Plays soccer (midfield, though she did goalie for a bit too) and is insanely good at it.
For two years only wore her hair in two french braids. Immediately after she cut it all off.
DJ'd at frat parties for a long time and would always mix in the weirdest, nichest music. Was threatened to be fired many times, but never was.
Is always injured but you'd never know it; she broke her wrist once and it took her two days before she decided it actually hurt.
Nobody knows NYC like Sarah. She knows every store, restaurant, etc. and has ranked opinions on everything as well.
The WORST at sympathetic words but the best at sympathetic actions.
Everybody is in love with her. She knows.
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

they need to invent a running away & never coming back that doesn’t affect your life
