#Spot Conlon

[billy-royalton]

so, listen. the moment right before "king of new york" where spot is leaning over jack going "hey where's my name where my name" as they're looking through the paper causes me to descend into a downward spiral every single time.

because everything we know about spot conlon before we meet him is that he's scary. he's a brute. he's the king. none of the other borroughs will do shit until they hear spot's on board. and the brooklyn newsboys are a rough bunch when we meet them. they're intimidating and goonish and they all take their orders from spot conlon.

but he's just a BOY. he may be the king of brooklyn. he may have an attitude and an ego bigger than his own size. but he's just a BOY who is so excited to see his picture in the paper and it's a reality check for the audience because they're all just boys.

they all have dreams and their dreams aren't even that big. "a porcelain tub with boiling water" THAT'S what spot wants. that's his line in "king of new york" -- it's such a simple wish and such a small comfort that he does not have despite being dubbed "the king of brooklyn" and all the power and respect that comes with it.

like it turns my brain inside out because you have to think what a life this kid must be living -- what life this kid must have lived before being a newsie -- that he's yearning off into the distance dreaming about taking a bath in a tub of hot water. that he's so excited to see his name and his photo in the paper that he's near-giddy looking for it over jack's shoulder.

i'm so fascinated with him i want to peer into his brain let me put him in under a microscope let me peek into his skull tell me your whole life story spot i'm ready and listening.

30 Summer Prompts

this is once again for @wodkapudding

"You should get out of the sun."

The clock is still ticking

"Dinner's ready!"

Underwater

"Can we please turn the AC on?"

Dizzying heat

"Are you afraid of water?"

Mosquito bites

"It's too hot to hold hands."

Spitting watermelon seeds

"What are you talking about?"

A plant, burned with sun

"I don't remember you."

Something buried underground

"I don't think you meant for me to find this."

"Can I tell you a ghost story?"

Bonfires and marshmallows

"What are you doing here?"

Sleeping under the stars

"I loved you."

A road trip home

"I think I'm lost."

It happened despite the rain

"I wish you were here."

Skin sticky with sunscreen

"I need to take a head count."

Fireworks

"Wait, I want to watch the sunset."

A hike gone wrong

"I never want this to end."

NEWSIES HEADCANONS:

1. Mush is literally the CLINGIEST person EVER, like if he likes you, that's it,he is physically latched onto you whenever you're around.

2. When race goes to see spot in his lodging house (he has to climb to up to a window so nobody sees), he always calls spot a princess in a tower and it drives him INSAINE.

3. Skittery is the typa guy to just randomly start laughing and giggling hysterically out of nowhere, and everybody just kinda stares at him (he's a little insaine, but that's okay)

4. Davey was on the debate team when he was at school, but his speeches were always too long, and he got frustrated when he couldn't get his point across fast enough ao he quit (that happened to me)

5. After almost every race, Race goes down and tries to convince the owner to let him go pet the horses,they only said yes once and he won't let it go

6. In Brooklyn, if somebody is refusing to get out of bed in the morning spot will literally just pick them up and throw them off the docs into the water outside 😭

7. Davey and his dad have the most unbreakable bond ever.

8. Jack picks up on 'fancy' words davey uses and then uses them incorrectly when talking.

9. Crutchie is the WORST sleep talker ever. He just babbles in his sleep but doesn't say anything that makes sense

10. Blink has no filter at all. The first thing that comes into hisbdead is said out loud. Good or bad.
