Blush x physical touch

I had planned to make this post about Blush almost kissing in the 1992 movie, but! as I rewatched the timestamps I made a while ago, it appeared Mush and Blink aren't so much almost kissing as always touching. Pick any moment when the two of them are on screen together, and there is a 90% chance they'll be touching in some way. The reason I think Blush became popular as a ship is that the two of them actually do interact all throughout the movie, and they both seem to express affection through physical touch. Now you won't need to ship them as a couple to notice this physical touch, but if you do, you may notice than on many occasions, one of them is very obviously looking at the other's lips (and, most of the time, the one in question is Mush).

More under the cut because this got LONG

At the beginning of the movie, this touch is rather playful, often rather brief and, most importantly, it is initiated by the both of them. That's mostly the shenanigans during Carrying the Banner, where they're already established as a rather close pair.

Then, there's a very casual kind of physical contact, which we see in the whole movie : Kid Blink and Mush are not just standing next to each other, they are often touching in some way, leaning on each other... This is also due to the fact they don't have many lines in the movie aside from talking about the strike, so the most obvious way to show their close relationship is to show them together in the frame, more often than not standing very close to each other : the result being that, from the beginning, they seem to have a closer friendship than with many other newsies (that being said, when he's not with Blink, Mush is quite literally always touching someone. My boy is a hugger.)

This touch is shown as coming to them naturally, in a way that still makes them stand out as a pair even in the most crowded scenes : at the end of King of New York, Blink spends a solid minute with his hand on Mush's shoulder, and they are the only ones holding up one glass for the both of them (to be fair, it's mostly race's fault for not giving Blink a second glass ; however Mush doesn't seem to hesitate or even think before he offers to share his glass, which Blink accepts just as naturally).

Finally, physical touch is also a way to find comfort : in the scene after Once and for all, Blink comes and to stand closer to Mush and offers him some form of reassurance without talking ; what's interesting is that this is one of the rare times when Blink is initiating this kind of brief physical contact.

Though they are both very open about physical affection, there is nothing to suggest a romantic attraction between Blink and Mush ; however ever since I first timestamped the movie I thought this proximity was sometimes ambiguous, especially in those first five gifs where they both look at each other's lips at some point. My guess is that they were asked to take it down a notch after that first day, so that we could focus more on the Javey relationship development...

Tagging @starlitink @thatoneandlonelyemo2005 @onmebackmush @bigmack2go because you guys were kind enough to remind me to actually make this post !

KOSA PAGE-all of our strike information

ALRIGHT SO YALL HAVE RESPONDED VERY POSITIVELY TO MY SUGGESTION OF US STARTING OUR OWN NEWSIES STRIKE AND @waiting-makes-me-antsy suggested we all get nicknames like the newsies so if yall want a nickname then private message me and I will write down your new nickname on this post and I'm also letting yall pick my nickname

What is the KOSA newsies strike?

All across tumblr and similar platforms, kids like us have found their people. People who share the same difficulties, people who have gone through the same things, or just friends. I have found some amazing people on tumblr, and KOSA would take all of that away. KOSA would take away the support many LGBTQ community members have found, the support many people with mental illnesses have found, and so much more beyond that. We are striking to show KOSA that we deserve a voice too! Freedom of Speech!

I loved this beautiful avatar 2 fanart of the Spirotxo ship of the Spider Socorro and Rotxo characters together and above all, because I really love the fact that in it has the theme of MODERN AU but at the same time also because the truth but at the same time also because I really love absolutely completely that in it we see Rotxo and Spider I help as normal humans of the earth but at the same time also because I love that it looks like they are still in high school but at the same time because I really absolutely love it completely that in it we see the 2 reclining on the grass and the grass at the same time they are kissing but above all because I really love that Rotxo's shirt has a dinosaur drawing as if he were a fan of the Jurassic World franchise but above all because I really absolutely love it completely that in the Spider and Rotxo they have kitten ears with the colors blue and turquoise that ironic makes it look like how they come out of the movie because Spider paints the blue stripes and Rotxo is a Metkayina what I really find it extremely adorable the truth but at the same time also because I love the idea that during his time living with the Metkayina, then it would have happened that Spider Socorro and Rotxo had discovered together and also at the same time they would have accepted the fact that Spider was actually transgender, while Rotxo was not binary and both would have supported each other and that they would also have been together when they told their parents, but also because I really love the idea that during his time with the Metkayina and Rotxo he was the one who taught Spider the lessons on how to breathe and live not only with the other Metkayinas and his family, but also with him in the ocean... and I also refer to what we saw in the movie when Aonung, Tsireya and Rotxo taught Kiri, Lo'ak, Neteyam and Tuk about how to adapt to the reef if they ask me... but also why I really loved it and, above all, because I really hope that we can see them fall deeply in love with each other and also become a beautiful romantic and canonical couple, the truth... sincerely

By the way, this beautiful Fanarts of them is not mine and the credits are not for me, but unfortunately I can’t leave you the link of the true creator of this beautiful masterpiece on Twitter because apparently he deleted it and if you ask me I don’t understand why I would do something like that but fortunately I managed to rescue the fanart in time

I also did it for: @spider209, @true-justice, @sunshine-48, @bigmack2go y @bellakotzent

This year's fic exchange @bigmack2go wrote blue blurr for me and since I just love superpowers (and drawing Bumlets) I took inspo from all the lovely outfit/vibe ideas they sent me and drew my boy with his shadow powers!

This has been sitting for a week or so but I just didn't really feel like shading (maybe I'll do it at some point, just don't feel up to it today) and since Mackj approved I thought I'd just post it

That means the only other piece of art I have brewing is still the Bumlets paladin one or something for other fandoms than newsies 😅

Anyways hope this looks good (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

[anxiousbrazilianstuff]
