ok but i think we really gloss over the fact that "spot conlon's turf" consists of the entirety of brooklyn.

according to the 1901 Census Bulletin, the population of NYC in 1900 was 3,437,202. of that, 1,166,582 were in brooklyn. assuming that the ratio of newsboys to the general population is consistent, thats just over a third of all the newsboys in the entirety of NYC that spot is in direct leadership over. that is a lot of power.

in comparison, jack is only the leader of lower manhattan. according to that same census, manhattan's population was greater than brooklyn's (1,850,093), but we know from the scene at jacobis that manhattan is divided into multiple newsie groups, including harlem, midtown, the bowery, and the east side at the very least. jack only had the authority to declare that "the newsies of lower manhattan [were] officially on strike", so his leadership clearly does not extend beyond lower manhattan.

now let's talk influence:

newsies from other areas didn't show up to the strike after jack asked them to. just talking manhattan groups, we know for a fact that midtown and harlem didn't show, and we can infer that the bowery and east side groups didn't either. jack is potentially well known among the other newsies, both for his leadership of lower manhattan and his escape from the refuge, but he has very little influence outside of lower manhattan.

whereas spot's influence? unmatched. he decided to show up to the rally, therefore the rest of the NYC newsies did too. also the implications of the midtown newsies (literally right next to lower manhattan so they definitely knew jack somewhat) not being willing to strike when it was jack who was asking, but being happy to follow spot? hilarious to me. this is even more hilarious if we assume that the bowery newsies didn't come either, since we know for a fact that jack goes there often, since that's where medda's theatre is. spot has more influence over manhattan than jack does.

so yeah. spot is in direct leadership over a third of the city's newsies, but the other two thirds? they follow his lead anyway.

conclusion spot is powerful af (and he knows it)

support lesboys and trans fems but if youre a straight man please don't mock us by saying that you're a lesbian or that youre trans when you're trying to make fun of us...!! there are people who look like you but are actual transfem and lesboys and it may seem that they're trying to mock our community too when they're really trying to just live their lives with those labels :(

Hurting someone intentionally and then blaming it as their past trauma ..

What do You think About those people ? Ma'am

a few thoughts

1. someone without some sort of trauma would likely never intentionally hurt someone would they? (on second thought yes they would)

1.1 and if I’m wrong there’s something else wrong with their brain I’m sure bc who does that

2. it’s still a shitty thing for them to do

2.1 trauma provides an explanation not an excuse !

3. regardless of the explanation, they still hurt you and it doesn’t make it hurt for you any less

3.1 you don’t owe them forgiveness bc it’s the same hurt innit (feel free to dip)

4. but also in my experience I feel people who hurt people and are self aware enough to understand it occurred due to trauma would never want to hurt someone intentionally because self awareness often coincides with empathy -> therefore, back to 1.1 & 2

4.1 also someone could intentionally hurt someone due to unhealed trauma but I highly doubt they’d be self aware enough to label it as that and if they did well, -> back to 3.1

trauma actually ruins the brain bc of shit like short term memory loss + being on survival mode constantly like always being in a rush. and like im not even stressed or in fear but im still always in a rush. trauma RUINS lifes and makes lifes harder. i have forgotten my passwords to my old emails/paypal b4 and now i lost fuckin my wallet. i take it out my purse ONE TIME and lose it. the good news is that its IN the house i took it out my purse inside the house to NOT lose it outside thats the reason why i took it out my purse so it wouldnt be lost outside so its not completely lost but its still stressful not being able to find something important as your wallet.
