Jack: Have you seen Spot?
Davey: Who?
Jack: Short, strong, runs Brooklyn?
Davey: …
Jack: Looks like if Sunday was a person?
Davey: Oh yeah! He just left!
Davey: Racetrack, if you’re reading this…
Jack: Can Race read?
Davey: Albert, if you’re reading this to Racetrack…
Jack: Can Albert read?
Davey:…
Davey: Spot-
Race: Spot isn't an asshole. He just...doesn't place much stock in politeness
Spot: I refuse to answer your calls and only your calls.
Jack: Seriously?
Spot: Seriously.
Spot: Race calls? I answer. Davey calls? I answer. You call? I throw my phone away as far as I can.
Jack: So only about a foot then?
Spot: This is why I don't answer your calls.
Spot: Shut up!
Race: I didn't say anything????
Spot: I can hear your dumbass thoughts from here.
*by the docks*
Spot: Status is it's a boat and it's missing. Status on you is you're annoying and I wish you were missing
Davey: Did you finish the last of the powdered doughnuts?
Spot *mouth full*: No
Davey: What’s on your face
Spot: Cocaine
Spot: Am I the only one that finds it weird that I can transfer data from my brain to someone else’s by opening my mouth and pushing air with vibrations in their direction
Davey: How high are you?
Spot: 5’4”
Jack: If I die my funeral’s gonna be the biggest party and you’re all invited.
Davey: If?
Spot: Great, the only party I’ve ever been invited to and he might not even die.
Race: Try to look good for the cameras okay?
Spot: The best I can give you is a fake smile and dead eyes.
Race: This thing between Spot and I is super casual.
Spot: I wouldn’t even classify it as a “this”.
Newsies: This is your wedding day.
Race: See ya later, alligator!
Spot: Doubt that, sewer rat.
Jack: *comforting a little* You don’t need to act like something you’re not for people to like you
Spot: Yeah just accept the fact that no one likes you and move on
Spot: When you share really personal shit about yourself and it’s fine in the moment and you feel good but then a few hours later you’re like “why did I say that?!?!” And your brain is literally flickering the lights on and off saying “Welcome to hell!!! Welcome to hell!!!”
Spot: People always shoot down my ideas and I’m sick of it. Two sentences in and everyone’s already shouting “what the fuck that’s illegal” or “you can’t do that”. Like dear god just let me talk.
*2 am in the lodging house*
Race: Do you think Spot Conlon has feelings?
Albert: I will tell you one last time. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Spot: I have the sharpest memory. Name one thing I’ve forgotten.
Race: You forgot me and Albert in the Walmart parking lot 3 days ago.
Spot: That was on purpose. Try again.
Spot: Will I ever stop being a sarcastic asshole? Find out on the next episode of “I think the fuck not”
Spot to Jack: You have the facial structure of someone who’s been curb stomped
This would make a great animatic

🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 27 - Favorite AU
☕️ Coffee Shop AU
🍪 As Mush drifted to sleep while waiting for his friends. He dreamed of being the owner of a nice coffee shop, where people meet and maybe even find love.
🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 28 - Midnight
⏱ Tick tock. Tick tock. The sound of the clock wakes Mush from his slumber. He looks up to see the time. OH GEEZ, it’s Midnight already! Where are his friends?!
🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 29 AND 30 - Potions and Magic
🧪🪄 “So ummm..” Spot stared blankly at his friends “what am I supposed to be doing with this?!” He held up the two gifts Mush gave him, an empty potion bottle and a “magic” wand. “It’s a memento” Mush said with a smile “to remember your first Halloween with us!” :D

🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 25 - Feast
🧙♀️ Although a bit scared, Spot couldn’t help but be excited at all the mouth-watering food he’ll be able to eat at Mush’s place. It was no secret that Mush and his family were great cooks. They even owned one of the best restaurants in town.
🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 26 - Blood
🌹 AHHH what’s that on Mush’s face?! It’s just a mixture food coloring dripping to his chin. Mush’s vampire costume isn’t complete without it.

🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 22 - Leaves
🍂 The sight of the different colored leaves falling to the ground never ceases to amaze.
🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 23 - Cemetery
🪦 Davey and Spot can’t avoid passing the cemetery while making their way towards their desired destination.
🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 24 - Tradition
🧙♀️ Every Halloween, the gang dresses in costume and goes to “Mush” Myers house to celebrate. Now that Spot’s a part of the gang, he’ll get to participate in the festivities too. Spot can’t help but feel a little nervous about making a bad impression.
💕 Likes and shares are appreciated. Thank you all so much.
🗞 NEWSIESTOBER DAY 21 - Unlikely Friends
📰 @newsiestober2021
👯 Nobody expected David “Davey” Jacobs and Sean “Spot” Conlon to get along. Davey was known as talkative in class while Spot was silent and closed off. It came as a surprise to people to see the two start talking to each other, bonding over a shared love of classic literature and being tired of the silly antics of their friends.
🎃 It’s Halloween and the duo are dressed in costume. Sean’s a king and Davey’s a famous news reporter.
📰 Late to this but posting it anyway ahaha
💕 Likes and reblogs are appreciated. Thank you all so much.
Newsies but Spot Conlon and Racetrack Higgins’ roles have been reversed.
It’s the same but Spot Conlon is now one of the Manhattan Newsies and Racetrack Higgins is the “King of Brooklyn.” Spot used to be head of Brooklyn but retired to Manhattan and Race took over his position. When Jack and Davey go to meet Race in an attempt to convince him to join the strike they find him in Sheepshead Bay, eagerly watching the races.
A Confused Conlon ❤️
For Day 29 of #newsiesunitedjuly over on Instagram
@newsiestober
“Come back here Higgins, you’re under arrest and I ain’t done with ya just yet!”
“Aww miss me already Conlon? Why don’t you come and catch me then Spottie!”
“I warned you to stop calling me that”
“Well that wouldn’t be fair... I gave you a free pass on calling me Racer”
Or AU where Spot Conlon is a detective on a never ending chase to capture his nemesis, the elusive master thief known only as “Racetrack”
