y'all have to understand that yes, actually! David is quite literally walking around in his underwear by the end of Newsies

there's something so tragic about how inwardly, David is an inherently trusting and loyal person but he puts up a detached, sarcastic, and even cold front externally because he knows he's too "soft"

and how Jack has created a boisterous, charismatic facade to hide the fact that internally he's inherently cautious and in part still the scared little boy who's first instinct is to run because you can't trust anything

and yet despite these protective measures, both David and Jack's defenses get torn down and they both get hurt anyways...

THE SIGN IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE

[donttakemuchtobeadreamer]

jack race and crutchie have the kind of co-dependent friendship/brotherly relationship/love that only comes out of being each others' sole support systems during the worst times of their lives. they can read each others' minds. they know immediately when something is wrong. they will be so so mean to each other but the instant anybody else is mean to one of them all bets are off. they communicate in sentence fragments incomprehensible to anybody else. they each know and guard the others' secrets with the type of intensity usually only seen in secret societies. ride or die to the most literal degree possible.

Kloppman keeps photos in his office. They might be of his kids or grandkids, but imagine that they're photos of his boys. Maybe some of those boys who grew out of the lodging house but still send him letters and stop by during Christmas time. Maybe there's a picture or two of his current lodgers.

I can imagine some of the newsies putting a few coins aside and going out in their best clothes to get a picture taken for Kloppman's birthday because they know how much those photographs mean to the old man. Then the strike happens and they get their picture in the pape, and the boys can't help but smile each time they pass the framed copy of the sun in a place of pride behind Kloppman's desk on their way down the stairs every morning.

I think that once the fervor of the strike settles down, a couple of the boys get the idea that they don't really need to save pennies anymore now that they've got our man Denton and his camera... Photos slowly pile up, lining the shelves and papering the walls, until Kloppman has more photographs than ever before. And he treasures every single one of them.
