Tentatively thinking about javid in J.C Leyendecker’s style. His art is just so gorgeous, and iconic in terms of how it both revolutionised American illustration and also fit in to shaping the so called “ideal man”. I’m very aware that that doesn’t sound like a great thing, but let me tell you, if you weren’t aware this man was GAY. Like GAY gay. A lot of his studies were drawings of his partner at the time. His pictures were admired as the men always seemed so indifferent to the women in them, which many Americans at the time saw as “men knowing a woman’s place” which is so funny bc it was just because he was a HOMOSEXUALLLLLLL.

His illustrations were used in newspapers as illustrations and advertisements of the “ideal man” in terms of looks, build and mannerisms. Which turned out to just be,,, a gay man,,,

ANYWAY, I’m thinking about maybe recreating a Leyendecker with javid, but ALSO a universe where Jack goes on to illustrate clothing adverts and is using davey as his go to model, only for people to become obsessed with his way of drawing a “proper and desirable” man. And he’s so baffled, but is like “yeah, my man is hot” so he’s also oddly proud. Davey starts getting some extra attention in the streets, with people constantly saying “do I know you? You seem oddly familiar” and old women pulling the “such a handsome young man” card. He’s SO confused initially, but when he realises he’s both flattered, because his features have never been considered particularly desirable before, but also sort of mortified and he has a talk with Jack about maybe perhaps finding a different model for this kind of stuff. More models start popping up, but his likeness remains a firm presence for as long as Jack Kelly is illustrating for the magazine.

I wonder how background a newsie I have to put here to have just absolute unhinged chaos

I wanna find out

I’ll start kinda easy?

Mush hcs please 🥰

“absolute unhinged chaos”

*gasps* it’s like you know me!

now. mush!

mush has been a manhattan newsie for as long as jack or race has been, and is very loyal to his city and leader. but- fun fact- he actually lives in harlem (info card again) (also, he stands with harlem in brooklyn’s here AND claims harlem in the jacobi scene)! taking all of this into consideration, it seems pretty fair to call him the harlem ambassador of manhattan (similar to how race is brooklyn’s).

clearly, this makes mush Very Important. as the harlem ambassador, he can read, write, and sometimes do math (obviously, I can relate). he’s also one of the more intimidating manhattan newsies, because he’s known for being willing to kick someone to queens at the drop of a dime. not like albert or race, either. no, no, he will beat up anyone (especially if they make fun of- or even mention- his slight lisp. sorry, it doesn’t exist, and rip to those who say it does).

and even if he doesn’t beat you up, rest assured, sir is internally judging you to kingdom come.

I’ve got more, but I can’t remember them right now, sorry

Pulitzer: You are, without a doubt, the worst strike leader I’ve ever heard of.

Jack: But you have heard of me.
