been having fun making gifs so here's some kid blink

//edit: user @trans-jack-kelly made some really good gif descriptions and suggested i add them, so here!! thank you so much<3 the gd credits all to them of course

[Gif Description: Gifs of Kid Blink from Newsies (1992).

The first shows him during "Carrying the Banner" shaking his arms to the lyric "we need an earthquake". and then on "or a war", pulling his fist into his chest as if stabbed before bending at the waist. Snitch leans on top of him, both of them playing dead.

The second shows him hanging off the balcony during "Hard Times" singing the line "But I always lands on my feet" gesturing widely with his arm.

The third shows him offering his arm to Medda during "Hard Times" as they skip forward through a crowd of newsies.

The fourth is him jumping onto a table during "King of New York", singing "makin' a headline out of a hunch". He reaches up, spreading his arms in a "headline" gesture, pulls his hands into his body, throws fists up and pulls them in, to accent the word "hunch", before jumping backwards off the table.

The fifth shows him receiving his copies of 'The Newsies Banner' at the window during "Seize the Day". Mush is behind him.

The sixth is cropped in on him in the background of "King of New York", leaning around the corner of a column in the restaurant as he looks around and smiles animatedly.

In the seventh, taken from "King of New York" on the lyric "a Saturday night with the mayor's daughter" he stands up on a table, and holds his belt buckle before leaning down with his fists held up for emphasis, laughing.

The eighth is from the dancing in "King of New York" on the lyric "Starting now, I'm the king of New York". Kid Blink spins before sitting down and punching his on the word "starting", then he moves his fist to the right on the word "now". After that he stands up and walks right, throwing his hands up on "I'm the king" before backing up and putting his hands behind his head with a grin on "of New York"

The ninth is taken from "World Will Know" on the lyric "what if the Delanceys come out swingin', will we hear it?". He energetically walks forward with his hands hooked into his beltloops and yells "No!", bumping shoulders with Racetrack.

The tenth and final gif is zoomed in on his face as he smiles wide, raising a glass after the end of "King of New York".

🏙️ Newsies Forever! 📰🗞️

yknow what, if the newsies fandom is still alive (it is for me) here ya go!

absolutely made my day, both of them are super nice! (especially tommy, literally the sweetest human i’ve ever met at a stage door)

also heart of rock & roll is awesome, definitely worth a visit!!

[brooklyns-quay]

I just think that. Spot should be the one 2 say 'once and for all, if they don't mind their manners we'll bleed 'em.' & the brooklyn newsies should be the ones 2 repeat 'bleed 'em.'

Tommy what the heck

[brooklyns-quay]

[brooklyns-quay]

autistic spot conlon but his special interest is just newspapers so no one realises. autistic spot conlon but when he goes non verbal people just think hes intimidating. he keeps his sleeves rolled up so his arms aren't restricted and this is "so he can punch easier" but its actually because he hates the feeling of it. he has one (1) conversation with davey where he just talks about newspapers for an hour non stop and davey's just like. Oh you're like me! and they are friends because of it and without that context no one can understand how or why they're friends.

It has additonal lyrics that are not in the song proper.

DID TOMMY JUST CONFIRM THAT SPRACE IS CANON-

[brooklyns-quay]

Mush didn’t know how to get Blink to realize how much he cared about him. It was agonizing to him, to try to get Blink to believe him, especially when he was always acting like he was useless and unattractive. Mush couldn’t see why at all. He insisted Blink was good for plenty of things, like kissing, and looking pretty, and soaking any boy that even looked at him the wrong way. At least those were the things he said out loud, just off the top of his head. He loved everything about him. He wanted to look at every one of Blink’s handsome features and point out to him how lovely he found them until he could see himself the way Mush did. 

He loved his eye of course, being so blue and vibrant. It reminded him of a speckled rock Blink found and gave to him one day while selling papers near the docks. He loved his freckles, and he loved kissing them even more. He loved his toned arms and legs, though he was always talking about how he was nowhere near as strong as Mush. Maybe that was true, but he didn’t see why that would stop him from admiring him. Even after he told him all that, Blink would insist there were parts of him that were undeniably unattractive, which Mush still couldn’t comprehend. He loved his flaws too. He loved his lips, and the scar that ran over them, giving him something to gently run his tongue over when they kissed. He loved the scars on his chest and back, although he hated what put them there. He liked them simply because Blink said he enjoyed when Mush would run his fingers over them, slowly healing emotional wounds inflicted on the boy. Blink would always cover up his missing eye, asserting that it would make the tall boy jittery if he saw it too often. It was years before he even let Mush get a good look at his face without his patch. When he finally did, Mush wasn’t scared, or skittish, or any of those other bad things Blink was worried about. He had one thought, and that was about the butterflies inside him swelling up because he was finally seeing his own young man, whole. And boy, did he find him stunning. He was floored, unable to speak or move for several moments, with big eyes and a gaping mouth. Blink misinterpreted it completely, going red and trying to storm out on him. It took a while of giving Blink gentle kisses on his neck in between telling him that he wasn’t in fact, uncomfortable, he was just stunned he could call a boy so handsome his own. It seemed an impossible task, to get Blink to love himself as much as he did, but Mush was persistent. After all, they were young. They had the rest of their lives together, and he planned on spending it healing their wounds.
