[jack-kellys]

so we all know life is a circle. thus fandom is a circle. we see things come back around like the de/twinkification of racetrack higgins. or cowboy versus artist jack kelly. or "mom" friend david jacobs and the perpetual need to make the newsies some kind of heteronormative family. and yet again we've found our way back to the anti katherine pulitzer arc of her "getting in the way" of jack and davey's popular subtextual/fanon relationship. (yes im late nevermind that.)

now, not being a katherine fan is different than being anti-katherine. not being a katherine fan means you might have criticisms like "i'm not sure how she serves the newsies narrative better than, say, sarah jacobs, as sarah is more aligned with the newsies contextually/societally and katherine is very distant and rich lol", or even "i'm not a big fan of how katherine seems to be tired of jack's shit for most of the play and then 'suddenly' finds romantic interest in him within one song".

but being anti-singular-young-woman-character because of a ship between the main two boys is. a tired take is it not? again with the circle, we've had this discourse already and its been cut out. since 2012 and 2017 we been talking about this girl and her value, but not in the context we should be.

(because the context we should be talking about it in is a newsies 1992 versus newsies broadway context, not an anti-katherine context, but i digress.)

katherine's value. what is there to mine from? she is an extremely young woman reporter, 17-18 years old, whose article makes the front page of the new york sun. since she writes under a pseudonym, i'm presuming she writes with skill well above her age to be published at all (yes, even writing vaudeville reviews). in past productions she either finds the newsies at jacobi's because she saw the walk-out (TWWK) from inside The World (UK), or jack kelly simply interests her enough for her to seek him out again (Broadway/Tour/Live). she is unsure about herself as a writer despite her skill which is made clear in her song. she is rich. she did not need to have a career and was encouraged not to. pulitzer is her father and she does not get along with him. she matches jack word for word, often with davey at her side. she mills comfortably about the newsies through the second act and has a friendship of some kind with specs specifically. she also literally says "that's a face [jack's] that could save us all from sinking in the ocean/like someone said 'power tends to corrupt'" essentially prophesying the act 2 betrayal. which is crazy.

you can draw your own conclusions from the above, but all of it is essentially canon? right? so maybe you don't have to be a fan of all of it, but you're really going to tell me absolutely none of this is compelling. that none of this is something you can interpret for yourself as complex. that albert is more complex.

this is not me saying you have to include katherine in everything, because that isn't what this post is about. this is about individuals choosing to dislike or devalue katherine by only viewing her in relation to her as a romantic interest, instead of a complex character in a period piece with a full arc. yes a full arc. it's the musical that's rushed not katherine.

@we-are-inevitable speaks on this extremely well in the comments of this post as well, more in connection to katherine as being a compelling romantic interest in the context of newsies speaking in the defense of love interests/often women characters. in this post i speak on how i would navigate jack/katherine as a director, and in this post i speak on how to direct something to believe in to make it, well, believable, aside from its awful writing for both kath and jack. because again, fandom is a circle, and i literally talked about how to "fix" jatherine in august 2024. at length

rbr questions!!

What’re your favourite parts :0? Anything you’re excited for?

literally any fun facts about florence i love her :0

ough excellent questions davey ty!!

1. i am EXCEPTIONALLY proud of the 'stillborn' passage. the whole 'aging backwards' idea is one thats always lived in my head since i was a kid and it felt so good to finally put it to paper. the passage about how davey stores words for people is also a favourite, though heavily inspired by alys conrans 'pigeon'. im also quite fond of the group scene at jacobis before jack shows up - i wasnt previously, but the response to it has made me appreciate it a lot more. and i really love all of florences scenes, she is SO fun to write. as for what im looking forward to, there is obviously going to be a conversation between florence and davey about what happened, and im very excited for yall to see it - pairing florences absolute no-nonsense, say-it-like-it-is mentality with daveys avoidant tendencies makes for a very fun dynamic that doesnt let davey run away from the problem anymore. im also very excited for the inevitable conversation between jack and davey, and - no spoilers - a few domestic scenes that come after in the epilogue. its comforting to write davey as a person again.

2. fun facts about florence! her parents are middle-class progressives who are readying her to take a position in her fathers publishing business, hence why florence doesnt see any problems in a potential courtship with davey; neither she nor her parents think it necessary for her to marry a wealthy, providing man, just one with good intentions. she has a cat named Chief Mouser Percival (or just sir percy for short, but you must remember the sir or he gets quite upset); when she was a little girl though, she had a worm-heap in the garden who she considered her pets. her favourite book is jane eyre, and while she finds mr rochester far too byronic for her tastes, she is eager to find the benedick to her beatrice, someone who is able to challenge her with intellectual argument. while she is in the privileged position of not being pressured to marry, and while she does know that a relationship is not the be-all-end-all for her, she does have a lot of insecurity around being just a bit too off for anyone to really like her - she knows shes right, she knows shes allowed to demand a good life for herself and advocate for her wants and wishes, she knows being a girl doesnt make her property, but it gets quite lonely when everyone around you acts like thats ridiculous. given that davey was more on her wavelength than anyone she'd met before, she's taking the whole situation quite hard. they will discuss things and bury the hatchet and florence will get her appreciation! just. not quite yet. everyone's suffering at this point.

[lorephobic]

hiii gray i know this is so unprompted im appearing in your asks like the ghost of saltburns past but i watched all of manhunt in a day and. yeah. yep. i like to pretend im a bigger man than this but davey. man with the eyes and temperament of a fawn on the worlds worst road-trip

MUSIC ASK MUSIC ASK MUSIC ASK: 1, 6, 17 (this is targeted), 28, 30

1. A song you like with a color in the title

was gonna say colors by halsey but alas i will stay within the parameters of the question - blu by jon bellion :)

6. A song that makes you want to dance

[chad from high school musical voice]: i don't dance.

it's more like, i can't really dance? i don't have a good sense of rhythm when dancing so i'm a shy and bit self-conscious of where my flailing limbs go. but at home when im by myself, i'm dancing along to feels like i'm in love by kelly marie. the dance dance revolution scene in imagine you & me cemented that song as a Certified Dance Song™ for me, and it always makes me feel happy because i remember how much fun luce and rachel were having 🥰

17. A song that would sing a duet with on karaoke

there's only ONE correct answer to this question and it's summer nights from grease. Obviously. sang exactly like in the video :)

28. A song by an artist with a voice that you love

i recently discovered laufey and i am absolutely in looooove with her voice my god. so velvety and smooth and round, and man what a lovely timbre she has. give her song from the start a listen - i love how she enunciates her words, it goes very well with the percussive beats of the song.

30. A song that reminds you of yourself

answered here! but hmmm another song... i miss you by mamamoo. the cover art for the video on youtube looked super gay and it was in black and white too. pair that with the yearning in the singer's voice and whammo! you've got a sad, emotional (breakup?) song that was very formative to babygay!Penguin. i hadn't dated anyone yet at that time but that song was just so well-executed that it felt like i was yearning for my non-existent ex lmao

the blog title doesn't lie you are THE resident davey expert also just one of the best people in the world to rattle around maybe-reading-too-much-into-disney-characters-but-being-very-good-at-it thoughts with lol sometimes it CAN be that deep and that's when it's the most fun :)

[rougvoid]

okay. if i stay up any longer im going to drink and i am NOT allwoed to do that . so says kk

floating away slooowly and oh so sadly

[witawwy-ponyboy-curtis]

I am genuinely so close to rewriting newsies guys. The Broadway show that is. I don't wanna hear anybody complain about Katherine being underdeveloped when literally EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. IS UNDERDEVELOPED. IT'S A 2 HOUR MUSICAL I KNOW, BUT JESUS CHRIST. so I'm gonna list off things I'd add/remove/fix if I did rewrite it

Cowboy jack

I really liked the UK sets and the UK costumes so.... *snatch*

Polio definitely impacts Crutchie more because let's be honest, we all know he probably wouldn't make it past like, 23

I think the opening scene could definitely just be like Crutchie being anxious and Jack helping to ground Crutchie and at the end of Santa Fe (Prologue) instead of saying like, "Time for dreamin's done." I'd rather him say something like, "If you need me today don't hesitate to get me." I'M SORRY IF THIS SEEMS DRAMATIC I LOVE CRUTCHIE AND I FEEL BAD FOR HIM

Carrying the Banner stays relatively the same, but "Go get 'em cowboy!" Gets added back in

I don't like Katherine as Pulitzer's daughter. I don't. I LOVE Katherine, but I hate the "Oh I'm the daughter of your rival and I'm in love with you!" THIS ISN'T ROMEO AND JULIET GET OUT. sorry guys 😇 but still. And the fact Katherine is based off of Pulitzer's daughter that died as a baby also really rubs me the wrong way so instead of her being Pulitzer's daughter, I think it'd be cool if she came from a middle class family. I will expand on this later on in the post but bare with me here

Katherine's an alto.

Contralto to Alto depending on who's playing her but yeah

Alto supremacy

SARAH EXISTS!!!!!!! SARAH ILY COME HOME THE KIDS MISS YOU!!!!!! I think it'd be cute where in some scenes she's seen fixing Les and Davey's clothes. She should get a solo and Davey should too (except I can't write music)

Sarah would he a mezzo soprano or soprano

I really liked Davey's character in the 1992 movie more than I did the Broadway show if I'm being honest...... So... *snatch*

Now I know it'd make more sense to combine Katherine and Sarah into one character, but I wanna see Katherine and Sarah interact because yk they're both girls in the 1800s surrounded by a group of guys who probably smell like a cow pasture and I also like the idea of Sarah standing up for Katherine when Jack's like, "Shouldn't you be at the ballet?"

Hear me out on this guys please

FEMALE SPOT CONLON

In act two when Jack's like hiding out, I want Davey to talk abt being impacted by being poor as well and then Jack starts being really hypocritical and then he gets called out. (Preferably by Sarah)

The scene where Pulitzer is talking to Jack and then reveals Katherine is his daughter wouldn't work that way if Katherine wasn't his daughter, so instead I think it'd be neat if he was offering her a job for like, yk, a bit of money and she doesn't wanna accept it because she's working with the newsies and she feels it's more important to help them than it is to take the job but Jack walks in and Pulitzer hands Katherine the money and is like "omg thank you for taking the offer that was so sweet of you!!!!! 😇" and jacks like, "bro wtf I thought you were helping us out" and Katherine is forcefully escorted out of his office so she doesn't have a chance to explain

On the rooftop scene when they're arguing, instead of Katherine immediately kissing Jack, I want her to see him crying or something of the likes so she just hugs him because, c'mon. He needs it. And then Something to Believe In is the same except they don't kiss, not yet at least. (Sorry to all you newsbian shippers and javey shippers)

Uhmmm

I can't think of more rn but uhh Jack and Medda content

We get more of it 💪

Girlsies make a come back please and thank you

And I don't mind them being in traditionally masculine clothes, but I also want some girlsies to be in historically accurate girlsie clothes

Plus the show will be longer so there'll be time to go into multiple characters and actually like pick them a part a little bit

That's all I can think of for now um yeah you can add to this if you'd like and if I can think of anything more I'll add to it so yeah please don't dox me for my ideas 😇

[jack-kellys]

OOUGHGHHHH CAN U MAYBE DO ,, WHO DID THIS TO YOU ,,,, W JAVEY ,,, PLATONIC OR ROMANTIC WHATEVER FITS THE VIBE IDK ,,,,

also unrelated sidenote i accidentally misread "soup for the sick" and thought it said "soup for the dick" and i was like yknow what? yeah sure. before i reread it and realized what it actually said LMFAO

soup for the dick as a bad things happen event.. hmm

ao3 series is here, and u can request a trope from these. let's get into it.

David isn’t one to stay over at the lodge. It’s not a simple thing to head all the way to his family’s small apartment, give them the news, and head all the way back afterward. Usually it’s rather late when he gets the chance to, and consequently hard to prove to his parents why he should stay out instead.

So this time, he doesn’t tell his parents.

Today marks the last day of Jack’s first week as an artist at the World. Sometimes he gets out early enough to sell the evening, or sometimes he goes in late enough to sell the morning. Today was a morning sell day, so David hasn’t seen the boy all day, and he should be seeing him… about thirty minutes ago, approximately. 

David sits on the lodge’s steps inside, feeling like an overgrown weed as other kids tumble up and down past him as they come down for or finish up their suppers. Maybe it’s childish to wait up for the other, and Jack could have easily gotten caught up with something at a place like that with all these fancy people. Maybe Katherine is simply introducing him to some people, or something. 

“I ain’t like it either,” snaps David from his thoughts, and he glances up and behind him at the stairs’ landing. Crutchie’s pulling himself out of the window there, so he must have been up on the roof. He gives David a small smile. “You’re waiting for him, right?”

“Yeah,” David half-grumbles. At this point he and Jack’s…tendencies toward each other were quite apparent with the Lower Manhattan newsies, so he supposes he shouldn’t be too embarrassed about being obvious. “He’s not usually this late, not after office stuff.”

Crutchie bends down with a balance and strength David can only wish he had, pushing his crutch toward David. David crawls up a stair or to and takes it leaving Crutchie free to hop down with the railing. 

“I know,” Crutchie agrees. “And, I mean. He knows this’s the one time to see you today?”

David bites lip, giving a slight nod.

“Then I really ain’t like it,” Crutchie chuckles, though his eyebrows furrow. David smiles his nervous appreciation at the other. “Look, Dave, I’m sure he’ll be here soon. He’s probably thinkin’ all about how you’re sitting here sighin’ to yourself as you stare out the front window.”

“Crutchie,” David mumbles, feeling his face heat up. He’s not as much sighing and batting his eyes as he is gripping the fabric of his slacks and trying to slow his mind down from the top speed it wants to run at. “I’m worried.” 

“Me too,” C assures, tossing an arm over David’s shoulders once he sits himself down. David leans into the other, frowning to himself but glad to no longer wait alone.  

‘Alone’ quickly becomes a luxury as another twenty minutes slips by. The volume in the building has reached its exponential climax upstairs- most of the kids have washed up after dinner and plenty of them will be heading downstairs to the supper tables again to play cards and other games before lights out. 

“Move, Davey!” is demanded of him by 14-year-old JoJo, and David looks up to see her hands on her hips, expectant. Crutchie remains seated, also giving David an expectant look. David does as told. 

Children bounce down the stairs, followed up by Racer, Specs, and Albert, who pause when they see David and Crutchie. 

“Jack ain’t show?” Albert sighs, shaking his head. “Jeez.” 

“I haven’t heard anything from anybody, either,” Specs supplies. “No one’s seen him since the morning edition- not enough to know where he’s at now.” 

So a longer length of time than David had thought. His mind starts running at the speed it wanted to, gaze sliding to Racer’s. They had to start searching.

Racer nods, thankfully reading David’s mind as he heads down the rest of the stairs. “Let’s go, come on.” 

David jumps up instantly, feet wanting to move by now after far too much waiting, but movement outside of the front door stops both of them. 

“Great timing as always, Jackie,” Racer mutters to himself, but the door opens, and it’s Katherine, eyes shockingly wide, door still concealing most of her body.

“Kath?” David says, coming up to the door to open it for her. “You okay? Where’s-”

And then he opens it all the way. 

Jack Kelly is pressed desperately into her side, his arm slung over Katherine’s shoulder as she clearly holds most of his weight. Both his eyes are half closed, one clearly by someone’s hard fist as the bruise around it purples part of his wide nose, smearing half the boy’s face in the color. His lip’s busted, blood only starting to congeal as past drippings of it still line his chin. His cheek’s split, the knuckles David can see are bruised and open, who knows what’s under his shirt, someone's touched his hair. 

David’s stiffened, he realizes, as he knows everyone’s gaze on him. His eyes are only on Jack, blindingly on Jack, edges turning red, especially when Jack grins. 

“Davey…” he says, smiley, too smiley for David’s liking, “you’re still here, ‘s good, good. Wanted to see you, so Kath- Kath go’me here.” 

“Kath,” David says, steely, softly.

“Yep,” she replies, and David takes Jack’s other side, the both of them carrying Jack through the door together in silence, save for Jack’s sharp intakes of air every few steps. 

The thing about the main floor is that it is small and filled with tables. The thing about nearly every bed in the building is that they’re up a flight of stairs. Long ago, David figures, this problem was recognized and a couple mattresses were tossed down the stairs to live in the back of the main floor. This also means David and Katherine are forced to drag Jack’s corpse-looking figure to said mattress, and the last person to occupy it had been Splasher after the strikebreaking.

Every single kid in the building watches as David and Katherine move Jack to the back, eyes huge. Race, Specs, and Albert speed ahead to start pulling tables back and out of the way, and Crutchie follows, speaking softly to a few more vocal newsies to calm them down. It’s more quiet than David’s ever experienced in the usual madhouse of noise the lodge is. 

Slowly, he and Katherine lay Jack down on his back, and Kath immediately turns to him. 

“I just found him like this, right outside the main building,” she says, words hurried and brows crumpled into a deep crease. “I don’t know if someone tossed him there or- or if it happened right out in the open and I had no idea- I- I was working late and I’m- his ribs are busted up too, I checked. I didn’t know how else to- where else to go.”

“Right place,” Race says with a curt nod. “I’m gonna grab Mush, this’s… a whole operation.” 

He zips off, leaving still too many bodies around David and Jack when Jack is hurt and David’s chest is about to fucking burst with the fact. 

“Uh,” he lets out quickly, suddenly, his mouth motoring without his permission. Crutchie, Kath, Albert, Specs, everyone in the room looks at him. “Can you-” David stops himself. He won’t get anywhere if he asks. “Move, guys. Move, for a minute.”

It’s callous, he knows, and demanding, and maybe even unfair. They’re all worried, just like David.

They move. Katherine squeezes his shoulder, and Crutchie gives himself one last look at Jack, but they all move. It’s just Davey and Jack. 

David looks down at the other again, gaze withering. Carefully, his fingers touch the safest parts of Jack’s face, and Jack just barely turns toward him. 

“Who did this to you,” David demands, clear, enunciated, burning.

Jack watches him as much as he’s able, but he deliberately looks away after a few moments, delirious smile dimmed.

“Y’know those’m, those… friends I said I made? At the World?” he mumbles out. His lip quirks, since he’s about to admit something, and David finds a kerchief in his pocket to wipe the boy’s lip quickly. “They.. ain’t my friends, ‘s f’sure, Davey.”

“No they would not be,” David tries to agree softly, but it comes out of his mouth argumentative, maybe. Jack gives him a smile, covering a wince- David catches his hand trying to find his ribs. 

“You look like you’re gonna do something stupid,” Jack hums. 

“I don’t- have.. a look that indicates that,” David spits out. 

“If you’re gonna do it,” Jack continues, and there’s this look in his eye that tells David that Jack is just as angry as he is, “bring someone.”

David brings Race. 

He gets a general description from Jack as the night goes on, Mush having peeled back Jack’s shirt to ice his ribs and stitch up the cut in Jack’s cheek, and Kath points the two boys out to Race and David the next day. It’s kind of a team effort, sure, but to David the effort isn’t done until his fist is in someone’s gut. 

Things have made him feel ugly inside before, it isn’t that unusual for him, but this ugliness is hot and flaming and demanding action. And in the name of the boy David thinks he loves, he’ll let it the hell out. Race’s dark smirk only encourages it. 

He and Race surprise the boys, catching them on their way home. David hasn’t been in many fights since the strike, in all honesty, but he’s had to fend for himself at school as the new resident working boy in his classes. 

David doesn’t let himself think. If he thinks, he’ll stop, and that’s probably the better option, so David has to ignore it. He’s doing the stupid thing, he brought someone, and they screwed up one of Jack’s braids and beat his face in and–

He forgot how much it hurt to hit someone…

David shoves one of the guys into the alley as Race does, and his knuckles find his guy’s nose- once, twice. He earns one to his jaw, and he tries not to reel in surprise, because Race isn’t- Race takes his punch to the ribs he receives and hits back two times quicker as if to erase the action as a whole. 

David isn’t fast in that way, but he’s damn tall, and he takes his target’s shoulders and drives him against the wall, nailing him in the gut while he holds him there. The boy tries to rip David’s grip away, but David practically slams him back as a knee-jerk reaction. His eyes widen at himself, but it’s fine, it’s an opening. He runs his fist into the boy’s cheek. 

“David,” Race hisses after what must be a while, and David’s attention snaps up and over at the other. He nods, and they both drop what they’re doing and scram.

They slow to a quick walk after a few blocks, and Race grins, slapping David’s chest. The boy’s sporting a bruise by his temple, and David thinks he remembers Racer’s head hitting the brick wall.

“You gotta tell Jack! Davey, I never seen you fight like that,” Racer says, beaming at David- proud of him. David can’t help sending a tiny smile back.

“I know that was- uh- well, very reckless, and unbelievably stupid, so,” David sighs out, “thank you.” 

“Yeah, man, I got you,” Race nods. “For Jack, yeah?”

David finds himself nodding, vigorously, not thinking. Not needing to think.

“For Jack,” he echoes. 

The lodge welcomes them back heartily, and David can see Jack sitting up on the mattress in the back, which he should not be fucking doing. He ignores the cheers and rushes over to him.

“What are you doing?” he hisses. “Didn’t Mush say you shouldn’t sit up on your-”

Dark, cherry-colored lips press to his, sudden and silencing. David can feel the cut on Jack’s bottom one with his tongue when he pulls away. 

“You’re nose’s bleedin’” Jack whispers, smirking. David wipes it quickly.

“Uh, sorry,” he lets out, blinking at the other. 

“Did you get ‘em good?” Jack asks, looking up at him, a little differently. Jack’s gaze keeps slipping downward just a tick. David nods slowly.

“I think we did, yeah,” he confirms. “Race was a great help.”

He sits himself next to Jack, even though the boy should really lay down. Instead, Jack shifts himself against David, making himself comfortable. David’s arm slips around his waist.

“You really…care, about me,” Jack says softly. 

“Of course I do,” David nearly scoffs. “Jack. I-”

“This’s something else, Davey, yeah? Somethin’ new?”

David thinks about the burning, and the ugliness- how Jack’s pain had made him feel ugly inside, not just Jack. How he didn’t even think.

“Yeah,” David says. “You okay with it?”

Jack gazes at him again. One of his eyes is officially swollen shut, but the other is wide open, burning with something beautiful.

“Yeah,” Jack smiles. David returns it, without a thought. 

[sparkedblaze]

“or maybe they’ll find a body”

don’t mind if i do

under the cut 🫶

sarah, les, and davey holding hands while their parents go to identify him. sarah and les crying, davey clenching his jaw while he holds back the welling tears. forcing himself to ‘be strong’ because he feels it’s his responsibility. davey feeling like he can’t cry. telling himself he has to be the strong one.

he has one outburst when his parents come out, their own tears falling. jack was so young. david calls them a liar. yells at them. runs out. he spends the rest of the day roaming the city. he picks fights. he runs from the cops.

he doesn’t get home until well past dark. his parents hadn’t slept, more worried than usual.

the guilt davey feels when he realizes makes him toss and turn.

the grief doesn’t let him sleep.

jack kelly and rachel amber. “don’t be surprised if, some day, i’m just out of here.” a disappearance and a missing person poster. the hope that he really did make it out of there, ran off to chase his dreams like he always talked about. the hope that someday a postcard or a letter will come, postmarked from new mexico.

or maybe they’ll find a body.

[creatureesque]

for the ask game: 3, 6 & 16 for serroh and sigrid??

13, 20 & 21 for david and rodya :33ccc

Omg so many!

Sigrid and Seroh:

3. What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?

Seroh definitely felt intimidated by sigrid at first (especially after hearing all the stories about her from the others) but also mesmerized immediately i think ^_^ but not really in a romantic crush way id say. Just fascination

Sigriiddd probably was indeed a little annoyed by serohs presence at first just because she grew weary of most people ( that just made me think about the foils question from the other ask and made me realise that they both warmed each other up in one way or another ....) but! i think since seroh was a new face (maybe theyve seen each other before but in that town everybody probably knew that theres this new guy around) she was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt

6. Do they have any shared interests/hobbies? Do they ever do these hobbies together?

Ooohhh okay what i need to do is research some more what sort of entertainment people were up to in medieval times because i cant really think of much right now. In general i think of them both as quite creative people but maybe they dont really have an outlet for that. I think sigrid is a great storyteller (took that up from her parents) and loves to listen to new stories and recite them to others and ect ect. Not so sure about seroh yet. Something to ponder. In a modern au though they would definitely do all sorts of arts and crafts together. Wait omg... Seroh doing pottery or creating jewellery...oidjhhhh. i like that.

16. Is one of them keeping secrets from the other?Why? How would they react if the secret was revealed?

Ooooohhh boy thats literally part of their story. Although deeply underdeveloped as the whole story is.. basically sigrid is hiding that. Thing that she found in that cave . And the fact that she worships it and believes it to be a certain sign from god. All that culminates in a ? Ritual ? Sigrid is going to do unbeknownst to seroh but by the magic of the narrative seroh does find her and i think in the moment she'd be really mad, mostly out of confusion and slight betrayal but they dont really have the time to work that out in the moment so they get separated on unpleasant terms

Davey and Rodya:

13. Do they have any disdain/contempt for each other? How do they show it?

Anon ily. After the initial break up? Yes, a lot of disdain. On both sides. For Davey its about the feeling of disappointment in someone he cared forz and frustration about "what could have been" if rodya wasnt a stubborn asshole. For Rodya its about the betrayal, about the "how could he not understand me?", about the anger he felt that davey didnt want to come to a compromise ect ect. On daveys end those feelings do fade away with time, whole rodya after the break up is sooo bitter and salty its insane, they do go no contact though. BUT THEN THE EXPEDITION:))))) And well having to work with rodya again and having to see some of the tendencies in him from the past did stirr up things in davey but at this point he wasnt really angry, just annoyed at most sometimes. Rodya...its complicated. Although both of them never really let go of what they have i think that goes especially for rodya which makes it a little crazeys in my mind because yes hes still kind of bitter but also i think he would also see this as an opportunity to rebuild a relationship between them of any kind (quite selfishly) and THAT that does annoy davey a lot. But . I think he'd give in 🫶 and theyre both a little weird about it

20. What is their best memory together?

Ahhh omg i think its the holiday they took to hmmm italy? I always imagine italy i dont know why its a little over done haha but maybe it should be something more unique. Either way thats not whats so important .. Whats special about this holiday is that 1. It was the first big holiday they took in a long while so they were so happy to finally NOT WORK. 2. Thats when rodya proposes to davey and davey says yes. Verryyy stereotypical i know but oh well

21. What is their worst memory together?

Well. Not to be that guyyyy but everything about the break up? Especially because it happend not very long after the engagement believe it or not 😭 The break up they had was very outstretched because a lot of things went unspoken for too long mostly because either of them were "too busy to deal with it". Davey hated seeing what rodya was turning into despite his attempts to help him and rodya was mad at davey for not "seeing his perspective" and ect ect. Also. Uhhhhmmm dont tell them but their answer to that will change after the stories finale. Shit gets dark

okay call me crazy but i want my first post to be a sort of masterpost to reference the tags for myself and my love of organization where i can have generic little oc blurbs since this place is my silly little diary for oc posting and anybody who happens upon it will just have to find their way i suppose

cory? his name is technically corduroy but he doesn't want you to know that. he started as a dnd character and became something so much bigger because i love him. kept his saviour complex from being the tank though (ily paladins) he's my southern cowboy and the bear of all time who i want to study in a jar like a bug because he's schizophrenic and has a mountain of intimacy issues <3

levi? my own npc that became the trans delinquent prince of my heart who is a born and raised city rat with too many brothers and terrible parents who may or may not have contributed to the development of his alcoholism and catholic guilt (they did) but hey at least he can paint and cook, right?

murphy? another one of my own npcs that has become an absolute treasure as my nerdy genderqueer beloved. he's like if a girl was a twink in honour of avril lavigne and 90s matthew lillard--he's his mother's daughter and his father's son. and he yearns to be a dragon or something because he 100% smokes and vapes too much for his own good

sunday? also a converted dnd character so of course she has lingering anger issues to honour her roots (ily barbarians) but she's my pastel goth femme lesbian with a love for freaks and reptiles who has a tendency for obsession and devotion that often scares the hoes <3 and also she is my chronically ill babe

and i do have some other more underdeveloped ocs and members of oc families that i love and a polycule who i can never quite commit ideas to because they fluctuate too much in my brain right now but shoutout to avalon davey and colm because one day their time will come

for now? i will be free and frolic

hush vs sovereign symbol similarities.

both of them have the middle thing idfk what to call it?? theres a gap in the middle in both. idk. i hope hes a sovereign… can i mention how babygirl hush is??? pls?? ‘i like talking to you’ the best compliment EVER????? he better keep blabbering with calling doc… doc. i wonder what magic user doc is? give me one chance to have another cool magic-er. i beg. i beg

can you imagine being doc and not screaming when they woke up??? MF HE TIED U DOWN LIKE A HOSPITAL???? atleast doc has their priorities straight ig. id start screaming like blaring sirens if that was me.😭😭

sorry i just had to go ona ramble.. also does anyone hope that doc knows some other listeners? doc and sweetheart would be pretty rad, bro. imo!!! i want more listeners knowing each other even if it isnt like a major friend group thing. freelancer coming across doc would be ok too! tho… lets be honest fl might be like “omg… they pretty as fuck…” or smth?? ik they aint so smart😭

duos of the listeners and doc with my own headcanons (I LOVE DOC ALREADy) click to read

doc & sweetheart: friends from a college or from a place. maybe met at a shop?? ily.

doc & angel: doc took care of angel before they met davey i wish.. got out of touch but saw each other in the streets and started squealing and talked again

doc & dear: met on a campus by accident, became friends, and they hang out EVERY MOMENT they can! they also give each other gifts for appreciation!

doc & lovely: stumbled across lovely being late for their classes, talked, and then doc stayed with lovely after the turning too… call me goober cus i bet they watch movies together.

doc & baaabe: childhood friends that were too silly 😭

doc & tank: summarized with “toss me my keys” tank throws a printer “i said my keys.” “i thought you said printer.” “WHY THE FUCK WOULD I SAY PRINTER???” (get me a duo like this😞)

doc and tank friendship when??

Honestly you’re right because the reason i made this post in the first place was because i was getting BA flashbacks

“I know i know”

“Hey. Breathe.”

“Relax into it”

“Fuckk you’re tight”

DAVID SHAW IM ON MY KNEESSSSSS

Is it wild to headcannon that when Angel and David first did it, it didn’t fit?
