Not that I don't like you too, but can I poke Spot instead?
I swear, you've started me on an entire Newsies nostalgia kick. I rewatched the movie the other night, and was singing along withuot realizing it. It's going to be all I can do to not look up fic today; I have papers to write!
And I have officially been reading fic for too long; I never used to slash that movie (incredible, no?) I just had Jack break up with Sarah and fall for a Mary Sue instead. But oh! the slashy subtext, and I am converted, and it was bad enough the first two times that I saw "Batman Begins" and had Newsies flashbacks, but now when I have those flashbacks they will include subtext too, and I will probably never see Bale's relationship with Liam Neeson the same way again. Guh.
Dude, subtext!! So much awesome boy/boy subtext in Newsies *nods* do not resist the lure of Newsies slashfic! though, yeah, a lot of it sucks... ya gotta wade through some crap.
I actually read a lot more newsies fic that I haven't put up at House of Pants yet... I tend to go on voracious (sp?) reading jags and then totally forget what I read, so it'll take some searching to make a list!
Ooh, that would be excellent! I think I'm in the Racetrack/Spot-and-Jack/David-with-post-Jack/Racetrack-implied camp. They're so touchy-feely... gorgeousness. Although a fic with Spot teaching David all about how to... umm... "be a Newsie" would be a lot of fun too.
I do remember reading a good but very depressing fic where Jack actually goes to Santa Fe and loses his virginity to a prostitute. Quite sad but well done, or at least I still remember it in a good way. If I ever remember the title I'll tell you what it is.
I totally love Spot and Racetrack, though I don't know why. They really don't interact that much in the movie :) Oooo, but Spot is totally casing out Dave when they first meet. And Jack is all, but he's mine! Look at me touch him!!
But they do interact! The "King of New York" and the various fights, and hanging out around the statue in the square, and for the picture they're almost hugging each other, aren't they?
And yes! I could see the tension jumping off the screen when David's sucking up to Spot and doesn't even realize that Spot isn't so much asking "Who is this twit who dares to speak to me?" as he is asking "Who is this prettyboy who's all fiery, hmmm?"
Thought the image of Spot even saying "prettyboy" is an awfully weird one.

Oh well, at least I have a pretty new icon. :)
