I got a dog! :D

Thank you so much 🥺🥰

♓️ 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.

Damn is it a great time to be a Sinnoh stan

Welp. This is canon now

Me reacting to Studio Colorido doing a Pokemon series:

Redraw of this scene from Penguin Highway

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT FOR POKEMON: TWILIGHT WINGS!!!!!!!!

I’d love to see more of the Galar Region and learn more about the place esp. the stuff that wasn’t really touched upon in the games. I also hope some faves manage to make it in (The Gym Leaders, Leon, Sonia, Marnie, Bede, HOP!!!) even if for just a cameo.

I’d also like to say thanks to @the--distortionist--726 for helping me out with this art! :) If you like more anime-style art and are a fan of RWBY and Identity V, I highly suggest you go check her out. :)

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)

🐣 Made some art of Spring Burgh, one of my favorite new units in Pokemon Masters 🌸

🌙 Likes and reblogs are appreciated! Thank you all so much 💕

🌸 Spring Mina and Grafaiai

💕 I really hope this pair happens in Pokemon Masters.

Crutchie Appreciation Post

I have so many feelings about the way Crutchie is portrayed in some fanfics. Like if we’re talking canon then Crutchie is one of the strongest Newsies there is. He’s not so resilient because he’s naïve, he’s resilient because he’s been through so much and still at the end of each day chooses to be good to others and optimistic. He could so easily have become bitter and hateful and distanced himself from everyone and wallowed but he didn’t, because he realized that there’s more to life than that. I just think Crutchie deserves a lot more than being the token kind friend or the one who helps with advice. If you take a good look at his character and read between the lines there’s so much more to him then just nice and sometimes silly. Not to say that you can’t write him as naïve and sweet and innocent but when it’s done so often it becomes a fandom wide thing and then that’s all he ends up being known for.

Please feel free to add onto this post with your own thoughts and opinions.

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.
