Pardon me if this has been asked before but I was wondering if you had any information on the popular past times that the Newsies liked to partake in? I heard from a friend that they enjoyed watching vaudeville performances but I couldn’t find a source on that.

Yes vaudeville was very popular among the newsies! According to Children of the City: At Work and at Play by David Nasaw the boys used to sit in the cheap seats in front of the stage and throw things at people they didn’t like. This meant that actors would often play to the boys in the cheap seats rather than playing to the boxes as they do now because the children could destroy a whole performance if they didn’t like you.

Other common pastimes were penny arcades, nickelodeon theatres, and gambling games like craps. Boys staying at the lodging house also had access to a games room featuring dominoes, cards, and a billiards table.

If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend Children of the City very highly. There is also a great chapter about newsboy culture in Darkness and Daylight, which, while definitely biassed to encourage sympathy for the charity that published it, is still a great primary resource on New York in the 1890s.

Also @andrei-courtney. Why don’t you try? :D

Thank you @brooklynbadbois this was fun :)

❄️ Sketch of my OC Marco, a gondolier from a city in the nation of Larchea.

Fighting with the use of elemental creatures is a popular sport in Larchea and a tournament is held every couple years to determine the best player. Marco trains often for this tournament, usually with creatures of snow and ice who he finds easy to get along with.

(Belated for me ahaha) Happy Birthday to Mr. Seaweed Brain himself. Happy Birthday Percy! 💙

Newsiestober 2019 Day 25 - Favorite Ship (Jatherine)

Okay I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to pick a favorite ship from Newsies, but I settled for drawing Jatherine since I got the idea and I do find the ship a bit underrated (no offense)

♓️ Characterboard/Moodboard for Jack Kelly as a Pisces.

🐠 It’s Pisces season y’all! 😂 Thought it would be fun to make this. Jack Kelly’s traits remind me a lot of the traits associated with Pisces. This is my first attempt at a moodbord/characterboard so I’m not entirely sure if it’s great.
