Newsies is a period drama that explores the themes of social justice, identity, and friendship through the eyes of a group of young newsboys. With a diverse cast of characters and blend of real-life and fantasy, the series is a unique viewing experience that pays homage to the beloved original.

EPISODE 1: The Maine

The episode begins with a fade into July present-day. We see the city of New York below with its skyscrapers projecting brazenly into the sky, high above the street-level bedlam. We see the blur of vehicles in the city streets. The camera comes even lower, and we see rapidly moving traffic. The streets of lower Manhattan are saturated with cars. We see pedestrians darting in between the cars and hear the blare of a hip-hop recording that matches the frantic pace of the traffic. The camera zooms in even further, focuses on a young man eating lunch on the white steps of a building. He is scrolling a New York Times article on his cellphone as the camera begins to zoom out. We see the city as a rich mosaic of colors, which turns into an urban grey blur. The blur lasts for a few seconds.

Exterior, New York City, May 1968. Groovy guitar music. This time the buildings are not as stark, the traffic in the streets not quite so frantic. The cars are older. The camera focuses on a young man, eating lunch on a park bench. The newspaper he is reading has a headline about the assassination of Martin Luther King. We see the date. A hippie couple is sitting down not far from the young man reading the paper. The man puts his hand on her knee, and she places her hand lovingly atop his. We see them lean in closer as the camera starts to zoom out. She pulls away at the last moment as the shot becomes more distant and blurs.

Exterior, New York City, July 1920. Jazz music. The streets of lower Manhattan are still clogged, but this time, with old automobiles, men in straw boater hats chatting amiably in one corner. On another corner, two schoolboys—one Puerto Rican and one Italian—fight as other boys cheer them on. The camera focuses on a young man reading an illustrated paper as he leans against a lamppost. The camera pans away from the young man and onto a crowded street in which we see pop-up stands and multilingual vendors. Here we see a young Chinese girl feeding bread to pigeons. She tries to frighten away a larger pigeon. It refuses to move, and she waves her arms, sending the small flock of birds into the air as the camera zooms out again to a blurred view of the area.

Exterior, New York City, 1898. Then the sound of fiddling folk music rises as the camera slowly moves in once again. The streets of lower Manhattan are indistinct but sharpen gradually. We hear the clicking of typewriter keys and presses rolling. Words appear on the screen with articles from Spanish-American War. Newsboys are running around, shouting headlines and selling papers at a rapid pace. The camera then focuses on a young boy, Jack, as he jostles his way through the crowd, calling out for customers. War with Spain is splashed across the headlines. The sinking of the Maine.

As he makes his rounds, we see snippets of other newsies - a group of brothers goofing around, an older boy giving a paper to a passerby with a sly smile, and a young girl standing timidly in the corner trying to sell her papers.

As Jack continues to sell, we hear snippets of conversations about the war, with people eagerly devouring the news of battles and victories. The price of papers has gone up, but nobody seems to mind. Business is booming for the newspaper tycoons, especially William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer.

We then get a glimpse of Hearst's flamboyant and cynical personality, as he cracks jokes with his reporters and revels in his wealth and power. Pulitzer, on the other hand, seems more reserved and conflicted, torn between his duty to report the news and his desire to sell papers.

Meanwhile, we are introduced to the Jacobs family, a close-knit group who are doing better than most during the war. Mr. Jacobs is a hard-working man who is proud of his family, including his son David, who is top of his class, and his daughter Sarah, who loves playing the piano. Mrs. Jacobs, however, is a bit more skeptical, especially when her son Les brings home a stray kitten.

We also meet Brian Denton, a young reporter for the New York Sun who is eager to make a name for himself. He is tired of covering society columns and longs to write about something more meaningful, like the war. He meets with his childhood friend, Nellie Bly, who gives him some advice on finding good stories.

But Denton's boss warns him not to go too far in his quest for a scoop. They must stay competitive with other papers but not resort to sensationalism.

As the day progresses, we see more of the newsies' hardships, including Jack standing up for his friends and the younger kids. But things take a turn when Jack has a chance encounter with Snyder, an aggressive warden who seems to have it out for him.

Jack manages to escape but bumps into David on his way out. David is heading to a lecture hall, and Jack convinces him to pretend he's a student so he can hide from Snyder.

Meanwhile, the Delancey brothers, two mischievous newsboys, get jobs at their uncle's distribution center, while Mr. Jacobs gets injured on the job and is fired. The family is now in financial trouble, and they must sell their beloved piano to make ends meet.

As the episode ends, we see Jack and his newsie friends rallying to help the Jacobs family in their time of need. It's a testament to the bond that has formed between them and the sense of community that has grown among the newsies.

Overall, the episode highlights the excitement and chaos of a time when newspapers were the primary source of information for the masses. It also highlights the struggles and hardships of those who relied on selling papers to make a living.

EPISODE 2: The Strike

The episode opens with a glimpse of the New York City skyline, which looks different from today's. Then, the camera focuses on two young boys, David and Les, walking down a busy street. They look determined yet apprehensive.

The episode continues with David and Les arriving on the scene as they desperately search for jobs to support their family. Jack recognizes David from their previous encounter and takes them under his wing to teach them the tricks of the trade. Through Jack's narration, we are introduced to the different newsies, their selling spots, and their personalities.

The newsies are struggling to make ends meet as prices have not been lowered since the war, and several have been forced to vacate their lodging house due to the inability to pay rent. Kloppman mentions the death of one of their friends due to starvation, which scares many of the newsies into taking action.

David suggests the idea of a union, which Jack considers as he recalls the trolley strike. However, the newsies are divided on the issue, with some unwilling to risk their livelihoods. Some of them quit and take up other trades, leaving only a small group of strikers.

Jack takes charge of the strike with David as his second-in-command. They attempt to negotiate with Pulitzer, but he throws them out immediately. The Delancey brothers taunt Jack, but he fights them off and earns the respect of the other newsies.

The episode introduces the mysterious and intimidating Spot Conlon, who is rumored to be a powerful newsie in Brooklyn. We see flash cuts of him beating up rival newsies, but we never see his face.

As the strike continues to escalate, the newsies become more organized, with Jack and David leading the charge. They eventually catch the attention of the media, which brings more attention to their cause. The episode ends with a cliffhanger as we see Pulitzer's reaction to the strike and the potential consequences for the newsies.

The episode is filled with gritty action, tense negotiations, and the struggle for justice in a time of great economic inequality. It captures the spirit of the newsie strike and the passion of the young boys fighting for their rights.

EPISODE 3: The Sacrifice

The episode opens with a montage of the newsboy strike in Manhattan, with newsies knocking over delivery wagons and getting into small fights with local distribution center workers. The strike has grown in numbers, but there are still a few newsies who are unable to contend with the lack of work and money and have given up.

The camera follows Crutchy Morris as he limps through the streets of Manhattan, his newsboy cap pulled low over his forehead. He stops in front of a delivery wagon, his friends gathered around him, and suddenly a scuffle breaks out. The sound of fists hitting flesh echoes through the alley as Crutchy's friends fight to protect the strike. Despite his hesitation, Crutchy joins in, throwing punches with his good leg. But the fight is quickly interrupted by the arrival of the Delancey brothers, Spot Conlon's enforcers. The Delanceys are ruthless and take pleasure in causing pain, and they have no qualms about targeting even the most vulnerable strikers. As the Delanceys advance, Crutchy throws himself in front of a younger striker to protect him. The Delanceys make quick work of Crutchy, landing blow after blow until he lies motionless on the ground. The camera shows the violence in graphic detail, with the sounds of bones breaking and blood splattering against the pavement. The Delanceys, satisfied with their work, leave the scene, leaving Crutchy and the other injured strikers behind. The police arrive to break up the fight, arresting some of the strikers and taking Crutchy and the others to the Refuge. The Refuge is a brutal place, with guards who take pleasure in causing pain to the children who are sent there. Crutchy, with his injured leg and broken bones, is particularly vulnerable. As the episode ends, the camera shows the other strikers gathered outside the Refuge, planning their next move. The strike has turned violent, with blood on the streets and friends being taken to jail or the Refuge. But despite the danger, they know that they cannot give up, not while the future of all newsboys is at stake.

EPISODE 4: The Girls

Opening shot: A crowded street in Manhattan, with newsboys shouting headlines and garment workers making their way to work. We meet Sarah Jacobs, a garment worker, who is listening to the newsboys as they talk about the strike. She's intrigued and decides to learn more.

Cut to: The Newsies' headquarters, where the boys are discussing the strike and the arrival of the garment workers. They are initially hesitant to accept their help, but Sarah speaks up and convinces them to let the women join in the fight.

Cut to: The Harlem streets, where the newsies and garment workers are fighting for the cause. The scene is violent and intense, with blood and sweat flying everywhere. Skittery is badly injured, and Sarah disguises herself as a boy to fight alongside the others.

Cut to: The aftermath of the fight, where the newsies and garment workers have been forced to retreat. Sarah is celebrated as a hero for her bravery in the fight, but the group is demoralized by the loss.

Cut to: Sarah's home, where she is visited by Spot Conlon, who warns her about the danger of continuing the strike. He tells her that she should leave the cause before it's too late.

Cut to: The newsboys' headquarters, where they discuss their options after the loss in Harlem. Some want to continue the fight, while others are ready to give up. Sarah speaks up and convinces them to keep fighting, despite the risks.

Cut to: The aftermath of the fight, where the newsies and garment workers have won the battle, but at a great cost. Skittery is still recovering from his injuries, and many of the others are bruised and battered. Sarah is hailed as a hero, but she's lost friends and colleagues in the fight.

Closing shot: A weary and battered Sarah walking through the streets of Manhattan, looking up at the sky, wondering if it was all worth it.

EPISODE 5: The Dream

Opening Shot: A close-up of an old, leather-bound journal with the words "Jack's Memoir" embossed in gilding, a gift from Medda a year ago. The camera pulls back to reveal a young newsie, Jack, sitting on a bench, scribbling away in his journal.

Jack's voiceover: “Dear Ma and Pa, it’s been some weeks since you left me in the city. I pray this letter finds you hale and hearty. As for myself, I'm waist-deep in the strike, fighting for what's right. But it’s not as plain as I reckoned it'd be.”

Cut to: Jack and his fellow newsies picketing outside the newspaper distribution center, chanting and holding up signs. They are met by a group of burly men, hired to break the strike.

Jack's voiceover: "Well, we've had a few run-ins with the strikebreakers, but nothing that would ruffle a feather. It's the bulls that keep me up at night. They're getting as mean as snakes in a sack.”

Cut to: Jack and the newsies in an intense argument with a group of distribution employees.

Jack's voiceover: "It's a curious case we're in, my friends. Some of them fellows who handle the distribution shares our sentiments, but others are in a tight spot and simply trying to keep their livelihood. It's a conundrum, and I'm uncertain of the right course of action to take."

Cut to: Flashback of Jack violently attacking a newsie about his age who was selling papers.

Jack's voiceover: "Friends, I must confess to a regrettable incident. My temper got the better of me, and I wronged a lad who bore no ill will. It pains me to consider his sister, who depended on him to earn a living. I'm beginning to recognize the dual nature of this conflict; not every soul can afford to cease work.”

Cut to: Denton, a wealthy businessman, watching the strike from afar, a scheming look on his face.

Cut to: Jack and the newsies preparing for a major fight with the grown strikebreakers and cops.

Jack's voiceover: "We're fixin' for a mighty ruckus, and I'm a mite uncertain if we're ready for the scrap. But we've got to stand firm for what we reckon's right, come hell or high water."

Cut to: Jack's infamy spreading to other newspapers, including Snyder's usual paper, a corrupt prison warden with a vendetta against Jack.

Closing Shot: Jack closing his journal and looking up, a determined look on his face.

Jack's voiceover: “ I ain't the one to prophesy the future, but I reckon I gotta keep on fightin' for what's right. Perhaps I'll head west, but not 'til we've settled this strike. I owe it to my fellow newsies. By the way, have you seen how them stars glitter over the canyon at night?" "

The screen fades to black.

EPISODE 6: The Ambassadors

Opening Shot: A wide shot of a scorching hot New York City street. We see newsies in ragged clothes walking around with signs and water cups. One of them, Mush, is sweating profusely.

Mush's voiceover: "This is the burnin'est week ever seen and here we are protestin' in the streets. It's a tough goin', but we knows we gotta keep pushin' for what's fair and square."

Cut to: Kid Blink and Mush cracking jokes and trying to keep their fellow newsies' morale up.

Kid Blink's voiceover: "Me an' Mush, we're doin' our damndest to keep everyone's chins up, but it's gettin' tougher by the minute. We're in dire need o' funds, an' some o' our own boys are jumpin' ship an' workin' for the enemy. It's enough to make a fella's heart break.”

Cut to: Flashback of a newsie crossing the picket line, and the others shouting at him in anger.

Mush's voiceover: "It's a sight to break a newsie's heart, to see our own kind turning against us. But we won't give in, no sir. We've got backing from other boroughs, and we'll hold fast and see it through."

Cut to: Denton conducting interviews and running stories in the Sun, catching the attention of powerful figures like former newsie and senator Big Tim Sullivan and Roosevelt.

Cut to: Pulitzer in his office, looking at his plummeting circulation numbers.

Pulitzer: "I cannot permit this strike to continue indefinitely. The boys will inevitably exhaust themselves. We must remain steadfast and bide our time."

Cut to: Pulitzer's wife confronting him about the strike and trying to talk sense into him.

Pulitzer's wife: "They are but mere children, Joseph. You must see reason."

Cut to: Flash cuts of Mush and Kid Blink visiting various parts of the city, trying to convince newsies to join the strike.

Mush's voiceover: “We're tryin' to be messengers for the other boroughs, ya know, tryin' to get 'em to join the strike. It ain't no easy job, but we're makin' progress, by jove!”

Cut to: Medda holding a rally at Irving Hall in support of the strike, preparing for the event.

As Medda reminds her employees, “Well, darlings, I think it's high time we showed our support for the newsies by holding a rally! We can't just sit back and do nothing when there are injustices to be fought. I understand some of you might be worried about your careers being tarnished by Hearst's or Pulitzer's papers. But let me tell you this, my dears, if we let the fear of bad press silence us, we'll never make any progress. We must be brave and stand up for what's right, no matter the consequences.”

Closing Shot: A close-up of Kid Blink and Mush's determined faces as they continue their work, trying to keep the strike alive.

Kid Blink's voiceover: "We ain't givin' up, boys. It's our duty to fight for what's fair, no matter the cost. We’ll stick together like glue.”

The screen fades to black.

EPISODE 7: The Cavalry

The episode begins with a colorful, symmetrical shot of the newsies preparing for battle, their slingshots at the ready. The scene is contrasted with the dark, shadowy figure of Hearst, who is seen orchestrating the ambush from afar.

As the fight breaks out, the camera follows the chaos and violence in a series of quick, snappy shots. The newsies are clearly outmatched, but they fight on with all their might. Meanwhile, Racetrack narrates with his characteristic wit and humor, providing commentary on the battle and the various characters involved.

As the Brooklyn newsies arrive, the tone shifts to a triumphant one. The camera lingers on their colorful attire and unique personalities, capturing the spirit of the newsies' unity in the face of adversity. Spot Conlon, a striking figure in red suspenders, takes charge and helps turn the tide of the battle.

The scene then shifts to a quieter moment, as Jack, badly injured and beaten, is relieved by Spot. The two have a tense moment of conversation, with Spot offering a mix of tough love and support to Jack. The camera focuses on their faces, framed by the chaos of the battle behind them.

In the aftermath of the fight, the newsies regroup and the strike committee is formed, with Spot and Racetrack both taking on important roles. The camera captures the formation of the committee in a series of symmetrical shots, with the newsies arranged in a neat, orderly formation.

As the episode draws to a close, the camera lingers on the injured newsies, as they receive medical attention and the others tend to their wounds. The scene is shot in soft, warm light, emphasizing the compassion and camaraderie of the newsies. The episode ends with a hopeful note, as the newsies continue to fight for their rights and their dignity in the face of oppression.

EPISODE 8: The Rally

The rally episode of the newsies strike would be filled with quirky and whimsical details. The newsies, dressed in their mismatched outfits, gather in a park filled with bright colors and unusual decorations, like a giant topiary of a newspaper or a fountain spouting ink instead of water.

During the rally, Mr. Jacobs gives a stirring speech while standing atop a platform made of old newspapers, while the newsies use a megaphone made from a discarded gramophone horn. As the rally reaches a fever pitch, the police arrive, clad in stiff, uniform outfits that contrast sharply with the newsies' eclectic fashion.

The ensuing battle between the newsies and the police is filmed in slow-motion, with quirky, over-the-top action sequences that emphasize the physical comedy of the fight. Meanwhile, Medda's theater is transformed into a makeshift hospital, with colorful bunting and streamers hanging from the walls and the newsies' injuries patched up with bright, mismatched bandages.

As the newsies recover, Skittery narrates the events with his usual dry wit and sarcastic tone, giving a running commentary on his fellow newsies' quirks and foibles. The rescue attempts for Jack are shot like a heist movie, with inventive gadgets and daring stunts that wouldn't look out of place in a spy film.

By the end of the episode, the newsies emerge victorious, with the public opinion swayed in their favor and Jack safely returned to their ranks. Racetrack, with his fast-talking and charismatic personality, is promoted to the spokesman of the strike committee, and the newsies celebrate their victory in a colorful, eccentric party filled with dancing, singing, and more newspaper-themed decorations.

EPISODE 9: The Nightmare

The episode opens with David staring at the kitten, worried about its well-being. He turns to Les and promises to find a way to keep the cat fed. Meanwhile, the newsies are determined to intensify their strike and make a stronger statement to the city. They gather on the Brooklyn Bridge, chanting and holding signs, effectively bringing traffic to a standstill.

As the day wears on, David becomes increasingly tempted by the idea of scabbing to earn money for his family. However, he is conflicted because he doesn't want to betray his friends and their cause. The internal struggle is portrayed through a series of quirky, visually striking sequences.

Meanwhile, in the Refuge, Crutchy and the other imprisoned newsies are organizing and planning their next move. They work together to write down their stories and the conditions they are living in, hoping to bring attention to their cause. Crutchy manages to slip the notes and letters to Denton during a visit, under the guise of an interview with Snyder.

Denton takes the notes to his friend Nellie Bly, who is an investigative journalist. Together, they publish an article that exposes the harsh living conditions and abuses that the newsies face in the Refuge. The article creates a public uproar, and the pressure forces the city to release the imprisoned newsies, including Crutchy and his friends.

The episode ends with David ultimately deciding to stand with his fellow newsies and their cause, even if it means sacrificing his family's comfort. The newsies celebrate the victory of their comrades' release, and the kitten is finally fed, much to Les' relief. The episode's final scene is a signature tableaux shot of the newsies standing triumphantly, with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background, as they continue their fight for justice.

EPISODE 10: The Legacy

The final episode of the period drama "The Newsies' Strike" opens with a montage of newspaper headlines reporting on the continuing strike by the newsboys against Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. Despite facing police brutality and violence from scabs, the newsies refuse to back down and continue to picket and sell newspapers in their own way.

As the strike drags on, the circulation of both newspapers hits a record low, and the financial pressure on the publishers mounts. In a last-ditch effort to end the strike, Hearst and Pulitzer agree to a meeting with the newsies' leaders.

The meeting is held in a grand hotel room, filled with ornate furnishings and intricate wallpaper, all rendered in signature style. The newsies are dressed in their best clothes, but still look slightly out of place in the opulent surroundings.

After some tense negotiations, a compromise is reached: the publishers agree to buy back any unsold papers from the newsies from now on, and an official newsboy union is formed to represent the newsies' interests. The newsies are ecstatic, and the meeting ends with handshakes and smiles all around.

In the following scenes, we see the aftermath of the strike. Some of the newsies move on to other professions, such as delivery drivers and factory workers. Others continue to sell papers until they outgrow it and move on to bigger things.

The final moments of the episode show where each featured newsie ended up in life, both real and fictional. We see Jack, the charismatic leader of the strike, as a successful & philanthropic businessman in his later years. Davey, the intelligent and analytical newsie, becomes a lawyer and fights for workers' rights. Crutchy, the newsie with a limp, opens his own shoe repair business. And Spot Conlon, the tough Brooklyn newsie, becomes a detective.

As the camera pans out to present-day New York city, we see the old lodging house where Jack and so many of the others lived still stands today, preserved as a historic landmark. The Jacobs' flat, where Jack found a second family, is now part of the tenement museum.

Neither Hearst's nor Pulitzer's newspaper survived to the present day. But the legacy of the newsies' strike lives on, as a symbol of the power of collective action and the fight for justice.

Finally, the screen goes to black, and the sound of the newsies' fading victory chants echoes through the appearance of the credits. The end.

Newsies: Beyond the Headline

by, Stargazing_Froakie by Stargazing_Froakie This is a fan-rewrite of "Disney's Newsies" combining both the Broadway musical and the original 1992 movie. This is written as a screenplay and as such will feature amateur notes on camera location/movement as well as character direction notes. To streamline character arcs; motivations; and in-canon timelines, some elements will either be dropped or rewritten. Such as: Katherine is no longer Jack's love interest. She is much older than all of the boys and is strictly professional. Bryan Denton is still featured but won't replace Katherine as the main reporter; he instead is Katherine's competition and debatable love interest (open to interpretation but not confirmed nor ruled out). Crutchie is still a leading part, but he does not share Jack's fantasy for Santa Fe. He is the damsel in distress. Sarah Jacobs and the Jacobs family are back. Sarah once again as Jack's love interest. With her return also comes the revival of the cut Broadway song "Then I See You Again" as Sarah and Jack's love song. Kid Blink returns and is joined by the original character Annie, based on the real newswoman Annie Kelly. While her role is simply a supporting role, it is a moderately sized one.

For the ask thing, what about Newsies? :D

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Jack Kelly used to be my absolute favorite. I mean, my name is literally Jack and I used to be utterly obsessed with cowboys. I felt seen in a way I don't often get seen lol.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Davey Jacobs. He makes me feel seen in the way he's awkward but grows into being a leader. I'm a bit bossy myself lol, and I have a bad habit of taking charge when I shouldn't, so I could pretty easily see myself doing exactly what Davey did.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Crutchie!! Mans is out here beating Snyder with his cane. Give me badass Crutchie or give me death.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Buttons. My favorite boy. Has one line.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Jack again. Did he sell out the newsies? Yes. Was he 17? Yes. I have a whole post thread and a rewritten scene about this.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Jack again. But also Race. And Spot. If you read my old Newsies fics (Which I do Not recommend) it's pretty obvious.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Racetrack McFuckin Higgins.

I feel like he would liven the place up.

#haven't really been into newsies for about two years now

Let's talk about some Irish newsies-

Hey! So I thought it'd be cool to look into the research I've found indicationg that some of the newsies might have Irish ties! (I'm Irish so that might explain my interest) I'm not an expert at all or anything, this is just the research I've collminated while scouring through newsies facts.

Oh course this isn't set in stone, this is just information I've found so if I've got anything wrong, please tell me! I was inspired by this post to do my own research. (A lot of my research has to do with the original movie but stick around for some fun facts about surnames?)

And now, onto Jack Kelly :

^This is David's description of Jack in Newsies : a novel by Jonathan Fast which can be found here on pg 9. Both surnames "Kelly" and "Sullivan" have their roots in Irish history.

^on pg 27 of the same book David describes Jack again as "an Irish boy". I just thought this would be worth noting, seeing how David wants to make it obvious to us, the reader that Jack appears to be Irish or of Irish descent.

"Kelly", originally anglicized from the Gaelic "Ó Ceallaigh" meaning 'descendant of Ceallach', an ancient Irish personal name, originally a byname meaning 'bright-headed' or 'troublesome' (fitting huh?) Source found here.

Fun fact for you livesies fans, the reigning chieftain of Ui Maine (mid Galway, South Roscommon, sometimes referred to as "O'Kelly's Country") O'Ceallaigh (c1351), was a renowned patron of the arts. Source found here.

Another fun fact : Jack means Seán in Irish.

Bet you weren't expecting that. Or maybe you were. Anyway, source is found here. I also remember it being a topic of conversation in 3rd class Irish class. Wonder how Spot and Jack would feel about that.

^On pg 23 of the original 1992 movie script found here Jack describes himself as a "mick" which was a commonly used derogatory term used against those of Irish decent/Irish immigrants at the time. However this line was not included in the movie. Source found here.

Now for "Sullivan". The original Irish for the surname Sullivan is O'Suileabhain, however the actual derivation of the name is debated. There is no doubt that the root word is 'suil' meaning eye, but whether it is to be taken as 'one-eyed' or 'hawk-eyed' is usually left an open question. Sources found here and here.

The surname is associated with the southwestern part of Ireland and was originally found in County Tipperary before the Anglo-Norman invasion. Source found here

Also, in both movie and stage versions Jack tells us his father "taught me not to starve" indicating his father may have taught Jack about the horrors of the Famine/An Drochshaol/The Great Hunger that plagued Irish families for years after. Source is found here.

Okay! On to Spot Conlon :

^This is David's description of Spot Conlon from the same book, pg 51 (okay he may not outright say he's Irish but they really said "throw all the stereotypes at him like red hair". But seriously in the Hard Promises script and the Newsies script he's described the same way. I guess they really invisioned that red hair huh?)

Spot is interesting seeing as he is the leader of the Brooklyn newsies, Brooklyn being an infamously known place for Irish immigrants to live due to the Great Hunger/An Drochshaol (translated meaning "Hard Times") or as it's more commonly known as "the potato famine" between 1845-1852. Source found here. At least 1 million people died from this and another 1 million immigrated, a lot to America (although the exact numbers are disputed.) Around this time New York becoming the busiest port city in the world. There was labor work to be had in Brooklyn, in the manufacturing and loading and unloading of goods to be sent around the country and around the world. Irish immigrants who had been left poor and malnourished by the famine had no other option but to take on this manual labour to earn money. Many took jobs by the ports and settled by the Watershed i.e. near the ports. This could be a reason to why we're first introduced to Spot and his "cronies" at the port in the movie. Source is found here and here.

Supposing Spot was born between 1880-1886 (he's quoted to be 14 in real life in this article however it's stated in the Newsies Novel on pg 51 to "be around Jack's age" and it's stated in original script before Newsies was rewritten to be a musical and was still a drama, "Hard Promises" he's quoted to be 19 on pg 28. So take this with a grain of salt.) the U.S. census, which counted both place of birth and parents’ birth place as well, estimated that one-third of all New Yorkers were of Irish parentage. By 1890 as Brooklyn neighborhoods were expanding east and south, the amount of people with Irish stock is at 196,372. Source found here.

Also how people will usually use the name "Seán" or sometimes "Patrick" for Spot (one of the fandom wiki pages cites it as his real name here but admits to having no proof of it). Both of these are traditional Irish first names, Patrick being popularised by the patron saint of Ireland St. Patrick/Pádraig. Might have heard of it-

Now for his surname.

Conlon is an Irish family name, it being a variation of the anglicised version of Ó Connalláin. The name may be derived from two Irish Gaelic words "Con" (the genitive case of Cú, meaning "hound") and "Lón" meaning lion - thereby implying a person who has the characteristics of a lion born of a hound - strength and speed. Source found here.

Conlon had a Gaelic form of Ó Conallain or Ó Coinghiollan in Connacht however it's Ó Caoindealbhain in Munster and Leinster. Fun fact, Connal or Connall is claimed to be a pet name for a sprout or little sprout. Source found here.

The history regarding the Conlon surname is complicated to say the least- however it can be traced back to County Meath, where the Conlon descendants are from an important sept near Trim, which traces back to Laoghaire, King of Ireland circa 432. O'Coindealbhain was also anglicised 'Quinlivan' in Munster. Source is found here and here.

This post isn't letting me include the video of Jack, David and Boots going to Brooklyn to negotiate with Spot and the Irish traditional music in the background but I'll make a separate post about that.

Now, onto Racetrack Higgins.

I'm going to keep this kind of brief. We know Racetrack is described as "tall, skinny gambling Italian beanpole" in the Hard Promises script on pg 1 and he's described as "an Italian beanpole" on pg 5 of the Newsies Script. However the surname "Higgins" is Irish as far as my research has told me, not Italian.

The real Ed "Racetrack" Higgins lived in Brooklyn and is quoted to be the real leader of the Brooklyn union, and was elected vice-president of the general union after Kid Blink and David Simmons were accused of selling out. Source found here. I haven't been able to find much information about Racetrack Higgin's life after the strike or his family life which could connect him to Ireland however I thought it would be interesting. If anyone is curious about the real Racetrack Higgins this source has been really useful!

'Higgins" is an Irish family name with ancient royal connections. It is an anglicisation of O'hUigin, from the Irish word 'uiginn' meaning Viking. The original holder of the name was a grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages, High King of Tara, and all of the O'Higgins claim a common descent from him. Ancient records show that several members of the O'Higgins claimed a hereditary right to be file or poet in the courts of the Irish Chiefs and Kings. Source is found here and here.

Because of their loyalty to Gaelic culture and religion, the Higgins suffered under the English Crown in Ireland and had lost all their lands in Sligo and Westmeath by 1654. Some of them remained in Ireland as tenants on their own lands, but many of them migrated to Spain where they achieved high office in the service of the King. Source is found here.

Fun fact, Racetrack has the same surname as the current (9th) President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins!

Lastly, on to Crutchy/ie Morris!

^This is from the 1991 original script of Newsies when it was called Hard Promises and was written to be a drama. Obviously this wasn't the movie that we have today but I thought this would be a cool add on. I couldn't find a lot of information about the real Crutch Morris, whom Crutchy/ie is based on. The surname Morris isn't strictly Irish, it's a popular surname throughout the British Isles however with this piece of information I thought it would make sense to research it anyway.

"Morris" (Ó Muiris in Irish) was introduced to Ireland by the Normans, along with the variant Firzmaurice (Mac Muiris). A branch of these Morrises moved to Galway in 1485 CE and later became one of the Tribes Of Galway. The name may also have been an abbreviation of Morrissey (Ó Muireasa), a branch of the Uí Fiachrach clan. Sources found here and here.

The ancient Irish name Ó Muirgheasa (variant Ó Muirghis), a personal name thought to derive from muir, meaning "sea" and geas, meaning "taboo" or "prohibition." Source found here.

The Morris family does have an Irish family crest/coat of arms which I'll post at a later date, further cementing themselves in Irish history.

This is most of the information I have regarding the origins of the characters and their surnames however I could go on about the music in Newsies, the family crests, the housing circumstances of poor Irish immigrants in New York at the turn of the 19th century ect.

If you want to learn more about what life was like for Irish immigrants in New York I recommend reading the non-fiction book The Gangs Of New York (or watching the movie. It isn't completely historically accurate but give a decent overview of what was life) or reading this article by the Irish Times.

I've barely scratched the surface of this topic and hope to go into it father in the future!

May I leave you with this gif of the boys doing some Irish (inspired) dancing and David with his twirl combo!

Ps. If the links aren't working for you I'd be happy to provide a list of the resources I’ve used throughout my research on a separate post if needs be.

pps. @maggs-is-a-muppet @annihilatedthenightstalker @newsies-bun @letter-from-the-refuge thanks for the motivation last night 😌

an interview with @ravenreyes-0g (she/hers)

what are you working on right now? I'm working on both my Bellarke fic for BLM and a personal fantasy story that I've written and rewritten from the beginning to about 5000000 times because my ideas keep changing. My Bellarke fic is a modern day COVID AU that is also the longest I've ever done so it's been taking a minute to finish! :)

what’s something you’d like to write one day? A YA either historical fiction or realistic fiction LGBTQ+ romance. I have a ton of ideas for plots, but I haven’t quite gotten the chance to sit down and try to plot them out. For historical fiction, I’m very interested in the 1900-1950s era, especially the Roaring 20s and WWI/II so I’d most likely set it there! I’m all in for the angsty romance, but I'd definitely want to end it on a happy note (unlike my current fantasy work) and I’m really looking forward to getting the chance to write a character driven story that doesn’t focus so much on heavy plot elements - something I can’t do as much in a fantasy setting!

what is the fanwork you’re most proud of? This one is actually pretty hard considering how my writing style has developed since I started writing fanfics. But if I had to choose, I’d probably say my FirstPrince (Alex/Henry from Red, White, and Royal Blue) fic on Ao3 called To Love Another Is to Cherish Life Itself. The title is a bit dramatic but basically it is an angsty/fluffy one-shot that I wrote really late one night and did minimal edits to before posting. It definitely feels like the most in character and honest fic I’ve ever done, and it broke my heart to write about some of the darker stuff, but in the end I’m pretty proud of it!

why did you first start writing fic? Well, I’ve been writing fanfics since I was probably 10 or 11 years old (I had PJO phase that spanned close to a decade and I’m still not totally over it 😂) but I started publishing work on Wattpad literally the night I turned 13. That was actually my first Bellarke/the 100 fic! It started out as my predictions for season 5 and then evolved into a fix-it fic for everything I didn’t like about the season. I’ve abandoned it for almost two years, but I’m slowly coming back to it so...slow updates y’all :)

what frustrates you most about fic writing? Everything! Just kidding - I love fic writing! But if I had to choose, probably two main things tho. 1) Creating a plot for a long term fic - I’m sooooo bad at it because I always feel like I’m writing too much in line with the actual show/book/movie and it feels like copying. 2) Making sure that I stay honest to the character I’m writing about. I have a huge tendency to write my fics (ESPECIALLY my one-shots) from the POV of the character who was not the main character in the original thing (like my POV for my RWRB fic is Henry, the love interest of Alex/other main character). This means that the only look inside their head that we’ve gotten has been through the eyes of the main character - which can obviously be biased. I try to stay as honest as I can to my interpretation of the character drawn directly from the text - but sometimes that means that I can’t include scenes that I want to because it feels off/out of character and that’s always disappointing. (also dialogue is just...something I really need to work on)

what are your top five songs right now? Ahhh see it changes on my day/mood but right now it’s probably

1. The Last Great American Dynasty - Taylor Swift 2. The Garden - Dua Lipa 3. Mirrorball - Taylor Swift 4. Icarus - Emma Blackery 5. Betty - Taylor Swift

(taylor really blessed us with folklore...I’m in love)

what are your inspirations? Ahhh - there are many. First and foremost, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. It’s my favorite book for so many reasons, but it teaches me so much about writing and character development. Also Liesel and Rudy melt my heart every time. I also love all the songs listed above for inspiration, and I listen to I Get To Love You by Ruelle (it’s the Malec wedding song for any Shadowhuners fans out there!) whenever I write a really emotionally intense romantic scene. If you’re looking for amazing fic recs, I highly recommend all of HMS-Chill’s works (multi fandoms), clarkesbell, and DracoWillHearAboutThis on Ao3. Though not all of them write Bellarke/the 100, if you are in any of their fic fandoms, I highly recommend checking them out because they are fantastic writers!

what first attracted you to Bellarke? what attracts you now? Honestly? #1 - their development. I love enemies to lovers with my whole heart, but I honestly didn’t see Bellarke as romantic until the 2x05 hug where I was just hit with a wave of OMG THEY BELONG TOGETHER!!! Seriously, though, the fact that they go from enemies, to grudging allies, to co-leaders, to partners, to friends, to best friends, to soulmates just makes my heart go !!!! - Also they have insane chemistry, and that certainly doesn’t hurt. What attracts me to them now is much the same, but also how much they care about each other. They’d go to the ends of the earth to save one another, and it just blows me away how powerful their screen time is, even when their scenes together have become so rare. I also don’t thinkI’m ever getting over 6x10. I swear my heart actually stopped beating when I watched it live the first time.

BESIDES Bellarke, what character or pairing do you like best on t100? Ha! Umm, I actually really like Murven, both platonically and romantically. Their journey might not be as well developed as Bellarke’s but it is still a powerful one hinging on love and forgiveness. I love how Lindsey/Richard play off of each other on screen - it’s such a joy to watch! I’ve also loved the Octavia/Indra dynamic, but it’s kinda been tabled in recent seasons which is sad :(

why did you decide to start writing for bellarkefic-for-blm? Two reasons - 1) I wanted to do everything I could for BLM and it was so amazing that I could do that, and write works for my favorite show! 2) I was super curious about the prompts people would send in. My work right now is a modern day AU COVID fic where Bellamy and Clarke have to share a room together in an overcrowded hospital until one day Clarke disappears. It’s so different than what I usually write - bc I almost always write canon compliant/in universe fics - so it’s a nice challenge!

what’s your writing process like? Honestly it depends. For long/multi-chapter fics I try to plan out as much of it as I can, characters, plot, important moments, etc - even though I am not very good at planning. But for one-shots I tend to go off of emotion or feelings. Usually when I write one-shots, it’s because a particular line or moment in a book/movie/show really spoke out to me, and spurred this idea in my head. I always start with the line I want to get to at the heart of the fic and then write around it from there. I am definitely much more of a panster than a planner- which is why one-shots work much better for me!

what are some things you’d like to recommend? 1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Also, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuinston, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz. 2. Musicals! They can be amazing inspiration - my favorites are Les Mis, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Six, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Hadestown, Anastasia, Island Song, Newsies, & Tuck Everlasting! 3. TV Shows besides The 100 - Anne with an E, Shadowhunters (just pretend you haven’t read the books), French SKAM, Love Victor, HSMTMTS, Merlin, Lucifer, I think I’m just listing fandoms at this point 😂

Also, almost any Taylor Swift, Troye Sivan, Conan Gray, Dua Lipa, Emma Blackery or Harry Styles songs are amazing!

My handle is the same for everything - Twitter, Tumblr, Ao3, Wattpad (if anyone still uses that anymore), etc (RavenReyes0G). I also run a book review blog on Instagram which is @betweenthepagesandtea, so feel free to check that out too! Request a fic written by her via @bellarkefic-for-blm!
