David Jacobs - Tumblr Posts
Spot and Davey becoming unlikely friends and none of the other newsies understanding why they get along so well is so important to me
David: You just gotta join the strike because - because you just gotta
Spot: You’re right Jack, this guys got brains
david isn't a "cinnamon roll" nor is he a "mom friend" david jacobs is an autistic awkward teenager that never really had friends and comes off as kinda mean and he has no idea how to be normal. and that's exactly why all the newsboys guys liked him so much from the beginning
Real
btw this is me if you even care
I forget where I saw this (probably here on tumblr) but I saw someone say Javid is Jack and David movie newsies and Javey is Jack and Davey broadway newsies and I have never seen something so real
im probably the stupidest fucker in the world and other people have probably noticed and talk about this but i realized it at one in the morning and I feel like I need to share
Jack and Davey’s costumes in 1992sies clash so well and fit so well with their opinions towards each other at the start of the movie
Jack is wearing red and Davey is wearing blue. Why does this matter? Because a simple google search can tell you red as a color means hardiness and valor, and blue as a color means vigilance, perseverance, and justice. But ALSO the colors aren’t traditionally complimentary colors. It’s such a PERFECT way to show how Jack and Davey aren’t the same and don’t exactly like each other without directly telling the audience, and yes most of their actions can also explain this but outfits can also tell you a lot about a person.
WE'RE FORGETTING THE ORIGINAL SHITTY NEWSIES AU. AU where Davey is a lamp.
How dare I not include the original allow me to correct my mistake!
Davey: Jack's going to say the wrong thing and get himself punched, can you go after him?
Race: sure, I'd love to see Jack getting punched
Davey: try again
Race: I will stop Jack from getting punched
Anyone else up for playing this?
MONOPOLY ~Newsies Broadway Edition!
Game pieces >
Hat - Les
Art palette - Jack kelly
Newsies sash - Davey jacobs
Type writter - Katherine
Cigar - Racetrack
Crutch - Crutchie
Feather fan - Bowurey beauty's
Glass of seltzer - Albert
Instead of Monopoly money they have to use coins
Instead of community chest it would be Headline board
If you land on go to jail it would be called Get sent to the refuge by snyder
If you have the crutch you have to stay in jail intell there are only 2 people left in the game 3 if you count the person who just got back in the game, but you have to pay 60 cents since your safe.
Free parking space would be changed to Get away from the bulls
Just visiting will be changed to Helping escape the refuge and if you choose to help someone escape you would have to either role doubles or pay 60 cents to get them out of the refuge.
Also one of the fun cards would be called "Startin a strike" you would have to throw the coins in the air from the bank and try to get more money
The middle of the board is newsies square
Some of the properties would be,
Santa fe
(Basically all of the places in New York that had newsies)
And medda's theater
And more places from the show
If you get passed go you get 200 and it'll be known as "Carryin' the banner"
There will be a couple spots on the board where you get into trouble with the dalanceys. You have to pick one other person to roll one dice and if you roll higher then them your safe but if they roll higher then you you loose 50 cents. But if you get a tie you both pay 25.
If you loose it's not bankruptcy... It's loosin' the strike
Also whoever wins the game is "The King of new york"
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.

Newsies General Headcanons!
♤ It's no shock that every Christmas eve the newsies of Manhattan and Brooklyn have a big ol' snowball fight. Winter while being a newsie is hard, but they manage to find fun moments in it, minus the huddling for warmth and setting fires that accidentally do more harm then good (lookin at you, Albert.)
♧ what is a shock is that they take it a tad bit too seriously.
◇ Race has betrayed Manhattan's team to partner with Brooklyn, he aims to win. despite there being no prize.
♡ Davey has made an igloo of safety. it was supposed to he for him and Les but Les left him to go battle.
♤ so far, Brooklyn has won every snowball fight. Jack aims to change that though, he is a very sore loser when it comes to petty games.
♧ but enough about winter, what about summer!? summer with the newsies is...well, hell.
◇all boys in the lodging house wander around in their boxers and nothing more. (what a shocker.)
♡ there have been many occasions where Race, Jack, Finch, Albert, Spot, and hell- sometimes even Davey! have broken into a random person's pool while the owners were out on vacation.
♤ pray theese guys dont find a public pool, all hell will be broke loose and they will be kicked out and banned for life.
♧ Spot and his gang are chillin in the summer because they can easily access a bunch of boardwalks, lakes, beaches, and docks.
◇ Race always comes to visit, ot pisses the hell out of Spot (it doesn't.)
♡ during the more bearable seasons, they often storm Davey's house and watch movies, play games, or raid his pantry.
♤ one time, they all went to an arcade. it was a magical experience.
♧ They were kicked out for hogging machines and wrecking havoc, but it was still magical. and they left with lots of prizes.
◇ they enjoy their fair share of board games, there's two game nights every week, usually randomly and spontaneously.
♡ they also go to the horse tracks a lot, usually forced by Race. but they enjoy it anyway and Race rants about his hyper fixation of horses for hours. no one really stops him, that'd be mean :(
♤ one time while one too many newsies were drunk, they tried to run into the tracks and pet one of the horses. they have a bounty on their heads, but they always escape it.
♧ they 100% give eachother haircuts, make clothes and plushies for one another, and cook together. it's always chaotic, but it's fun.
◇ whenever a newsie has a crush, the others wont shut up about it and constantly make fun of whoever it is, while also trying to wingman at the same time. tens of newsboys wingmaning isnt the best plan, though.
♡ lastly, davey reads all the new bedtime stories every time he stays over at the lodging house with Les- its started off as him reading for Les, but everyone else just kinda tuned in. he also brings them snacks and money he steals from his parents, and takes care of sick or younger newsies.
♤♧◇♡
Hope gou enjoyed! sorry I took forever, meah mwah love you!

It’s about time I talked about my favorite use of visual storytelling in Newsies (1992) - Davey’s costume
This post contains quite a bit of analysis and screenshots from the 1992 movie, so it’s all going to be under the cut! This is a post I’ve been wanting to make for quite a while, so I’m excited to finally be able to share it!
