“haha wdym newsies has fish symbolism and it’s important” LISTEN. when Jacobi says “who says water isn’t important? just ask a fish… in the desert.” what does a desert notoriously lack? water. what does a fish notoriously need? WATER. but where do the newsies come in, you ask? these kids are being made to survive in an environment that isn’t giving them what they need to survive. doesn’t that sound familiar? ALSO, in CTB when buttons goes “we’s as free as fishes”— this enforces the fish metaphor. fish also travel in schools- similarly to how the newsies rely on each other to survive.

that’s pretty much it, thank you for listening to my rant

Hey guys, I need more newsies friends, so if u want to be online friends, dont hesitate to text me af ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 16+ pls gang

I promise I'm really cool

Good luck charm ( short oneshot)

Notes: this is set after the strike, when davey has gone back to school. This can be read as any of the versions 🙈 I'm not too big of a fan of this fic, so I may rewite it soon, lmk what u think 🩷

It was quiet in the Jacobs household, peaceful even, Esther was in the kitchen happily cooking, mayer was sat silently in the kitchen reading the new edition , Sarah was delicately sewing up an old shirt that had been ripped and les was playing nicely in his room. The family were happy, the comfortable silence soothed them all as they basked in its hypnotic sense of calmness. You could hear a pin drop as the warm evening sun shone through the window, leaving the sedative family very pleased with life. However, the Jacobs household never stayed quiet for long...

"Mama, papa guess what!' Davey announced running into the room, he was sweating perfuesly which told his startled parents that he had ran all the way from school.

Ethster jumped at the sudden sound echoing through the previously peaceful house, making her drop the pan she was holding to the floor with a bang. She cursed under her breath and picked it up.

"David, how many times have I told you to not bound into here like a bull in a China shop?" She accused angrily.

"I'm sorry, Mama, it's just that -" He was practically beaming with exitment, his eyes had a certain spark to them, which made his exited face light up to the next level.

"No, I don't want to hear it." She interrupted, she became quiet for a few seconds as if trying to find the right argument, "just... go to your room." She sighed.

That spark in Daveys eyes had dissipated , leaving an unpleasant aura of tension and melancholy in the air of the once comfortable household. Slowly, he turned and sulked into his room.

"Come on, you didn't need to be so harsh." Mayer said quietly.

"Yes I did, the boy needs to learn how to regulate himself like an adult." Esther snapped.

"But he's not an adult honey, he's a child."

"And he will be forever if we dont teach him otherwise."

Mayer sighed in defeat and turned back to his paper.

Davey was sat on his bed, with the palms of his hands pressed against his eyes so that he could see colourful little circles. It seemed to be the only colour in his life right now. His chest tightened as he replayed the embarassing memory of his outburst through his head, forcefully acknowledging his wrongdoing and creating self promises to never do it again. He heard a knock at the window, and he looked up to be met with the eyes of Jack. He walled over and opened his bedroom window.

"Heya dave." Jack said climbing through the window.

"hi." Davey replied sheepishly.

"Whats da matta?" Jack asked wairely

"Nothing."

"Ise know youse lying."

"I know when YOU'RE lying." Davey corrected

"But Ise aint lied 'bout anythin." Jack looked puzzled

"No, I meant that you needed to fix your grammar." Davey gave a small smile now.

Jack chuckled softly and punched him in the arm.

" Yeah ise will get right on that, but seriously, what's eatin at ya?"

"Well at school about a week ago, my teacher told me that next time at debate a woman from the national team would be there, and she would basically come to scout out who she thinks would be fit for nationals, and they picked me and said that they want me to represent them on their team so i-" davey ran out of breathe and cut himself off.

Jack only smirked as Daveys heavy breathing continued.

"Wow, davey ise don't knows much about debate, but that sounds amazin'."

Once Davey had regained his breathe he replied.

"Yeah, it is. If i win, then I get a fully paid scholarship to a private grammar school." Davey beamed, the magical spark in his eyes being reignited by Jack.

"That's great, so whys was youse so upset about it?" Jack asked, following Davey to sit next to him on the bed. Davey remained silent ( for the first time ever). After a minute, he spoke.

"Do you think I'm too much?, like are my emotions too much for you?" Daveys tone saddened, as did the overall mood.

"Naw not at all, youse get very excited about a lot of things, but that ain't bad." Jack said gently.

"Because earlier I was really excited to tell my family about what happened and when I tried my mama yelled at me and said I need to calm down and regulate myself." Davey mumbled. Jack scooted closer to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, Davey leaned into him.

"Well ise think it's a good thing, not everybody has the same passion for everything that youse do." Davey nodded sadly and sunk deeper into Jack's embrace.

"So what is debate anyways?" Jack asked cheerfully.

"Well it's basically like a fight, a verbal fight obviously, but not an actual fight because its structured and you have a limited amount of time, so the proposition have to pass the motion that they have been given by the judge by basically talking alot and as fast as they can-"

"Youse will win easy then, no competition there." Jack teased. Davey smacked him on the leg and giggled. Jack was relieved to see Davey smiling again. He wasn't used to Davey being so glum. He believed that spark In his eyes was perminent. He had never seen it extinguished before.

"Carry on ise listening."

"Carry on IM listening." Jack made michevious eye contact with Davey before grabbing his pillow off the bed and gently smacking him with it. Davey cackled hysterically.

"Jack, stop!" He giggled, trying to grab the pillow.

"If youse promise to nevers correct mys grammars again!" Jack stopped to let Davey answer.

"If YOU promise to never correct-" Davey was cut off by Jack tackling him into the bed as they began to play-wrestle and laugh.

Jack was used to rough housing with his fellow newsies, newsies play fought all the time. They were very tough and thick skinned from having to live on the streets. However, when it came to Davey, Jack was extremely gentle with it, always making sure to never hurt the other boy.

"Um, Davey?' Mayer had appeared at the doorway looking inquisitive as he watched his son and his friend snicker wildly whilst rolling around on the bed.

"OH um hi dad..." Davey quickly sat up, his face flushed.

"I wanted to see if you were alright, but I'm guessing Jack already did that." The older man smiled.

"Yes sir." Jack said proudly.

"Welll then, dinners ready, and Jack's welcome to stay if he likes."

"Thank youse sir."

"Thank YOU sir."

Jack tacked Davey to the floor, and they began to roll around, trying to trap each other and get the upper hand. Mayer only smiled and rolled his eyes before walking back into the dining room.

Later on that night, Jack was soundly asleep snuggled up in Daveys bed, whilst Davey sat at his desk trying to write his debate speech.

"hi sweetheart." Ethster said standing next to him. Davey didn't answer, he didn't even look at her.

"Listen, I'm sorry for shouting at you, didn't mean it, sometimes I just find it so hard to adjust to your emotions and I know that's not your fault and I need to work on it."

"It's fine." Davey said dryly.

There was an awkward silence. Esther stuttered a few times but couldn't seem to find the right words before getting up and leaving. At that moment Davey felt so alone, so he climbed into bed with Jack and as soon as his body hit the soft mattress, Jack's arms were pulling him closer and rubbing up and down the length of his back. Now, Davey had never felt less alone as he embedded himself into Jack's warmth. Electric shocks, zapping into his nerves with every touch to his body.

Two weeks had gone by, and Daveys master status had become, completely and utterly stressed. He was trying his hardest to write this damn debate speech, and yet nothing he wrote seemed to sound the way he wanted it to. He had been sitting at his desk for almost 7 hours, and his brain felt so frazzled that the words looked as if they were swimming. His eyes were so heavy that they physically hurt to keep open, every inch of his body begged for the kind mercy of sleep whilst his mind slowly shut down.

"Geez davey, youse look terrible." Davey didn't even need to look to see who it was.

"Go away." He said, covering his face with his hands, propped up by his elbows on the table.

"When's the last time ya slept?" Jack asked, eyeing the stacks of disregarded, crumpled up papers next to the desk.

Davey only groaned in response.

"Come on ya need to get to bed."

"No"

"Davey, do not fights with me right now."

Davey shook his head, Jack sighed and sat on the table, his legs dangling next to the chair where davey was sat. Jack began to card his fingers through Daveys hair, lightly scratching from time to time or swiling his finger around in a messy curl.

"stop im going to fall asleep." Davey yawned.

"Don't fight it Dave."

Davey remained stubborn, fighting the sleeping spell that Jack's fingers were putting on him. Jack sighed, god he loved this boy but he could be so damn stubborn.

Jack changed his tactic to just scratching, davey made a sleepy noise of protest and began to lean into the peaceful touch. Not giving him time to think, he lifted davey out of his seat and quickly lay them both down on the bed, Daveys head resting on Jack's chest.

"No- I need i-"

"Shhhhhh." Jack began tracing up and down Daveys back, Daveys exhausted eyes finally closed, and he snuggled deeper into Jack's hold.

"I've been trying to do that for hours." Mayer whispered into the room. Jack only smiled and closed his eyes too.

It was the big day of the debate, and Davey was panicking. He had arrived early to the event and had brought three extra copies of his speech in case he somehow lost the original one and was also slowly forgetting how to breathe.

He was pacing around the backstage area, running over the speech in his head. He left a reassuring hand on his shoulder, his first thought was Jack, however he wasn't disappointed to see his father -like him- dressed in his best and smiling from ear to ear.

"Don't worry, Davey, you will be fine." Mayer assured.

"Yeah, you'll be great!" Sarah smiled wildly.

"Come on, let's go find out seats, Goodluck we are so proud of you." His father pulled him into a quick hug before leaving. Revealing his mother apparently hiding behind him the whole time.

"Davey, baby, I am so sorry for ever making you feel like your passion and love for things was a problem, it was really my problem the whole time and I never want you to change ever." She pulled him into a big hug.

"It's okay mama." Davey said sincerely.

"Thank you, baby. I am so proud of you no matter what happens tonight. Good luck." She kissed him on the cheek and left.

He heard the announcers call his team up, and he walked on stage. He sat with his team members and was relieved to remember he was the second, not the first speaker. The first round did not go favourably for his team. The first speaker stuttered so hard that they missed half of their speech, and they kept taking on questions they didn't know how to answer.

"Please welcome, proposition, speaker 2." The judge called.

Davey stood up and prepared his speech. He looked into the crowd and felt his stomach do summersaults. The crowd went blurry as he felt hundreds of eyes digging into him. His breathing quickened as the hands holding his paper began to shake as the clapping bounced around his brain and all he could think was 'I can't do this'.

Somehow in the crowd of faces he could only make out one of them, and it was Jack's who mouthed, 'just breathe'. And so he did, he steadied his breathing and began to read, he read flawlessly and without stuttering. His unprotected time proved not to be a bother due to the opposition not being able to think of an argument, the longer he spoke the more confident he got. And before he knew it, it was over.

His new gained confidence proved useful as he was now able to rebuttle the oppositions final speaker as he scribbled down new arguments for the conclusionist once they counted the jury's votes. Davey held his breath and felt his heart pounding in his chest yet again.

"I declare this motion...carried." The judge announced. And daveys bloodstream turned into pure joy. His veins carried nothing but exitment and happiness around his body as he hugged his teammates and couldn't seem to wipe a stupid smile off his face.

He ran around the back of the audience to his family, who all excitedly greeted him and hugged him tightly. Once, they had been beckoned away to talk to the grammar schools principle who was seemingly very impressed, he finally turned his attention to Jack.

"Ise don't really understands much of what youse said, but it sounded good."

Davey giddyly hugged him and looked up at him, the spark in his eyes shining brighter than ever before.

"Ise mean it must've been good if youse won."

"Or maybe you're just my goodluck charm."

At this davey pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss, he was always told that his passion was too much, however in this moment it felt just right.

BLUSH ONESHOT

Walking Ray of sunshine

It was a Friday, a warm, sunny Friday. The sun had gotten to the boys before kloppman could, which influenced the boys out of bed rather than forced. Which was always a monumental help for motivation. Blink was happy. He always rested better in the warmth, so he wasn't exhausted, unlike in the winter when the cold seemed to shake him awake. The cold water from the shower was a relief rather than a burden, and his hair had dried the exact way he wanted it. He was practically radiating happiness.

"Hey, blinks." He felt someone gently clap him on the back before walking into the shower. He didn't even have to turn to acknowledge who it was. In a weird way, you could just sense Mush. His kind and cheeky aura made it seem as if he was glowing,he was impossible to miss. The two boys dressed together, and Blink couldn't help but look down at Mushes toned body. Many of the other news boys envied the way he looked. It was damn near impossible to keep yourself from withering away at the worst of times, yet somehow Mush had managed to not only keep himself unmalnurished but physically fit. It drove Blink insaine, and he couldn't stop thinking about it...its because he's jealous. Or so he told himself.

The roar of talkative and loud newsies echoed through the streets as they barrelled their way to pick up their papes.

"And then Jack was all like 'on me back mush', and I was like..." The rest of it drowned out ad Blink stared doe-eyed at mush. Only he could take such an unfunny joke and laugh about it till tears appeared in his eyes. He silently thought it was adorable. He found humour and good nature in everything he did, the optimistic views other dreary newsies could only dream of having. Blink had never admired characteristics more, Mush tended to brighten the room. Like a walking Ray of sunshine, Blink quietly thought before putting that comprison in his brain files.

"Race, Ise aint seen ya all mornin'!" Mush chirped before pulling race into a big hug. Another noticeable thing about Mush is that he is very touchy,he seemed to find comfort in physical contact and becomes a big teddy bear whenever he felt a lack of it. Blink was a stranger to any physical comfort before he met Mush , however, he quickly learned to adore it.

They lined up and bought their papers, due to Blinks' good feeling about today he bought 70, and Mush bought his usual 80. The boys split up to sell their papes, and it was a breeze. The hyperbolic headline made it so much easier to hawk. They practically flew out of the boys hand as family on summer walks strolled past and felt particularly happy and generous on this gorgeous summer day. Both boys had sold out by just after lunch, leaving them with the whole day to frolick and endeavour in varies activities.

"Youse finished sellin' too?" Blink asks, walking up behind Mush after he spotted him not too far off central park.

"Yeah, headline was even more good than yesterday."

Blink bit back a smile.

"The headline was BETTER than yesterday."

"That's what ise said?"

"No, it ain't."

"Um, yes, it is."

"No youse said 'more good' that ain't right."

"Ise aint even say that, that's false adver-atisement." Mush struggled to get the last word out.

"Ad-ver-tise-ment." Blink sounded out.

"That's what ise said!" Mush giggled,clearly doing this on purpose.

"Youse annoying." Blink crossed his arms and leant against the wall in mock frustration.

"Ise even more good at annoying youse today!" A cheeky grin spread across mushs face as he waited for a reaction.

"Oh shaddap will ya." At that mush snatched blinks cap right off his head and bolted.

"Hey!" Blink laughed before chasing after him. The two boys ran around like a cat and a mouse. Both were manically cackling to themselves as they swerved around people, and over crates, they ran into central park. The long, bright grass gently caressing their ankles as they foolishly played and ran. Mush looked back to see if the other was catching up. When he saw so sign of his one-eyed friend, he turned back around and BANG.

Blink had stood in front of mush, expecting him to run into him and to be able to swipe the hat back. However, mush had come in with considerably more force than expected, sending the two toppling over onto the grass.

"Are you okay?" Mush choked out before both boys burst into hysterical laughter and wheezes. When Blink made another grab for the hat, they wrestled and tussled on the floor for a while before Mush placed the hat on his head and pinned Blinks wrists to the floor. Blink squirmed and tried to pry his arms off the floor, but it proved unsuccessful as Mush just beamed down at him, looking as if he's barely trying.

"Get off!" Blink said through gritted teeth as he used all of his power to sit up. He was fairly close this time, but the stronger boy kept his grip tight and unforgiving.

"Naw this is too funny!" Mush snickered.

"No, it ain't, I'll soak ya!" Blink was obviously only joking.

"How's youse gonna do that when ise so much stronga?" Much said in a teasing tone.

"No ya ain't."

"so then why are youse on your back?"

Blink began to struggle again, after a few close attempts he flopped back into the grass, defeated.

"Fine youse win.'

Mush hummed happily and let go, then lay down next to blink on his back. The warm summer sun was yet to dim. The beams of the sun hit them on the face and yanked a whole new type of happiness out of the pair. The soft grass was far too comfy, and they both wanted to stay there forever.

"It ain't fair, youse shredded." Blink whined

"Ya know, its think I could dead lift you."

"Mush do not, I swear to- MUSH!" Blink shrieked in surprise as he was swiftly lifted off the grass by one arm and one leg. The nerves and surprise made him giggle uncontrollably, which made Mush not want to put him down

"Ready...one...two...three..." Mush counted as he curled Blink, lifting him higher off the ground every time.

"Put me down!" Blink laughed, wanting to wriggle but too scared of being dropped.

"Okay, dont get ya panties in a twist."

He set Blink back on his feet just to find that his own left the floor almost instantly after. Blink picked him up bridal style, definitely not how to dead lift but he didn't have to know that.

"Mys turn."

"Youse doin' it wrong." Mush giggled.

"Then how am ise suposta do it?' Mush didn't answer, just laughed.

"Youse even more bad at this than wrestling."

Blinks face dropped and went stone cold, and then an evil glimmer in his eye appeared, which scared mush.

"Youse going for a swim."

Mush immediately clocked the pond sitting in the middle of the park. He squealed as nervous laughs took hold of him as he thrashed around whilst Blink slowly approached the water.

"Ise don't wanna get wet!" He snorted as he managed to throw Blink off balance, which sent them yet again, on the floor.

"That was NOT funny." Mush gasped

Blink tried to repress the bubble of laughter in his throat. However, he couldn't swallow it down. He began to cackle and wheeze. Mush just lay there staring, feeding off the laughter and admiring the boys wide smile and frantic giggles with big lovey-dovey eyes and the most love sick smile ever.

"Youse beautiful ya know." Mush placed a soft kiss into blinks lips and his hat back onto his head.

"And you -" He picked a daisy and placed it behind Mushs ear, "Are a walking ray of sunshine."

7. Before he chose the name crutchie he was called "bambi" because he looks like a little deer

8. Once, when he was absaloutly exhausted, he let Jack carry him to his bed. They're not allowed to talk about it. EVER.

9. Due to his Crutch he looks shorter than he actually is, so once in a while he leans against something and stands fully upright to remind everyone that he's tall

10. He admires races unpredictability and how exiting his life sounds. Every day, he waits up for race to get back so he can hear about all the crazy shit he did that day

NEWSIES HEADCANONS (part 2)

1. Race is terrified of fish, so when he's being annoying, spot will dangle him off the harbour over the water to "let the fish get him," and he freaks out every time

2. When Jack is annoying tf out of davey, he will grab his suspenders, pull them, and let go so they smack him (if u get what I'm trying to say 😭)

3. Races lucky card is the 8th of diamonds and he carries it around in his pocket

4. Mush CONSTANTLY steals Blinks hat off his head and runs away with it, thinking it's the funniest thing ever

5. Crutchie and race are constantly getting told off by kloppman because once its lights out, they get the giggles and can't stop😭

6. Mush the typa guy to find EVERYTHING funny, like he is so easily amused and easy to make laugh

7. Skittery is really unpredictable, like he'll be like "Guys watch this," and just jump into the splits or something 😭

8. Because spot has a common dog name, race always makes fun of it by throwing a stick for him and calling him "Good boy," and he gets SO mad

9. Skittery deffo twists every word ever said it to him to make the person look bad. Somebody would be like "omg this apple is huge." And he's be like "did u just say I'm huge?" When he heard them FINE 😭

10. When spot has someone he doesn't like join his crew he gives them a horrible nickname like "spunk" or something 😭

(If u have any specific headcanon requests tell me)

Gang if you have any requests for any fics I will literally do anything (except if it's anything freaky like incest)

Just put them in the little ask me anything box on my page that nobody ever uses 🔥

NEWSIES HEADCANONS:

1. Mush is literally the CLINGIEST person EVER, like if he likes you, that's it,he is physically latched onto you whenever you're around.

2. When race goes to see spot in his lodging house (he has to climb to up to a window so nobody sees), he always calls spot a princess in a tower and it drives him INSAINE.

3. Skittery is the typa guy to just randomly start laughing and giggling hysterically out of nowhere, and everybody just kinda stares at him (he's a little insaine, but that's okay)

4. Davey was on the debate team when he was at school, but his speeches were always too long, and he got frustrated when he couldn't get his point across fast enough ao he quit (that happened to me)

5. After almost every race, Race goes down and tries to convince the owner to let him go pet the horses,they only said yes once and he won't let it go

6. In Brooklyn, if somebody is refusing to get out of bed in the morning spot will literally just pick them up and throw them off the docs into the water outside 😭

7. Davey and his dad have the most unbreakable bond ever.

8. Jack picks up on 'fancy' words davey uses and then uses them incorrectly when talking.

9. Crutchie is the WORST sleep talker ever. He just babbles in his sleep but doesn't say anything that makes sense

10. Blink has no filter at all. The first thing that comes into hisbdead is said out loud. Good or bad.

working on a javey fic and yeah i’m gonna make them fight. physically. i wanna see these fuckers fight dirty and yell and spit and then get up and forgive. i love making them angry and in love.

my roman empire is the way the seize the day fight scene is shot in livesies, like ZOOM OUT PLEASE I want to see the staging.

I love fight choreography. criminal to take that away from me.

thinking abt canon newsies details that the characters never escape from, even in fanon. I’ve never read a fic where Jack Kelly has parents, or Katherine gets along with her father, or Davey isn’t battling with other peoples ideas of who he’s supposed to be

just those complex parts of these characters that not even the most hopeful fic writers can take out of them, bc these characters exist as products of their journey.

random modern newsies head cannons (with absolutely no evidence or reason) pt. 1

main characters first!

Jack:

Draws all over his clothes. Put a pen in his hands and he’s immediately doodling on all over his jeans. Ff there’s a design he likes and doesn’t want it to wash away, he’ll ask Davey to embroider it.

Also draws on other people’s clothes (with permission. unless you're Crutchie and then he's just gonna draw on you).

Leather jackets and cowboy boots.

Never says I love you but always shouts after people to be careful.

Never drinks water and always complains about having a headache, but claims drinking water means he wastes time going to the bathroom when he could be painting.

Can't touch his toes. This is random but I feel it so strongly.

Davey:

CANNOT sit still (or normally). is always shifting, sitting backwards in chairs, pulling his knees to his chest. Claims it helps him think better.

Majored in the humanities in college with an incredibly niche concentration/focus that he will always explain in detail, even if the person who asked about it doesn't care.

Designs his own clothes (and decorates Jack's). He wants to look stylish but is picky about the fabric and fit, so he makes his own stuff and it's rly cool and unique.

Goes to parties to watch people and silently judge them. Stands in the corner with a glass of wine.

Everybody loves him. He is so popular but has no idea.

Katherine:

Rock climbs. Jacked back and freakishly bendy.

Runs the school paper and is everyone's campus crush. She doesn't know this and also could not care less what anyone thinks about her anyways.

Has this one bright red jacket she wears from fall through spring, and is therefore never dressed warmly enough for winter. Her cheeks are always so pink but she claims she's never cold.

Stands with David at parties and takes notes for inspiration.

(I read this one in the fic Nothing but Old Doubts Now by CoraRemarks on AO3) but she has two dads; Plumber and Pulitzer. This is fact.

Sarah:

Plays soccer (midfield, though she did goalie for a bit too) and is insanely good at it.

For two years only wore her hair in two french braids. Immediately after she cut it all off.

DJ'd at frat parties for a long time and would always mix in the weirdest, nichest music. Was threatened to be fired many times, but never was.

Is always injured but you'd never know it; she broke her wrist once and it took her two days before she decided it actually hurt.

Nobody knows NYC like Sarah. She knows every store, restaurant, etc. and has ranked opinions on everything as well.

The WORST at sympathetic words but the best at sympathetic actions.

Everybody is in love with her. She knows.

something about Jack and David both presenting in the way the other is internally (Jack being chaotic and angry on the outside, but masking his fear, while David appears more proper and stereotypically anxious when he’s actually very frustrated). Growing up in vastly different environments with different social expectations, they’ve learned to cover up, but by becoming friends they offer each other the space to be themselves and ugh. i love them.

What is everybody's fav newsies song mine is king of new york

I saw someone talk about this, but I can't stop thinking about it. Jack 100% gets jealous when Davey hangs out with someone who's not him. I just know he has jealousy problems (which probably stem from childhood)

Davey for sure gossips with mush about his crush on Jack

look at how proud Mush looks 🥺

The first time i was watching newsies with my mom seize the day came on, and she was like, "wtf i sang this song in chorus" so I was wondering if anybody else's parents who were in chorus sang this song???

I crave javey fics are their any good ones on ao3 that aren't one-shots??

Bisexual baddies

Look at the new picture in the dictionary next to the definition of bisexual!

Happy Pride!!
