jack is sooo in love with david it makes him look stupid. the first real conversation they have, jack negotiates the split of profits to be 60-40, despite knowing upfront that david had at least two mouths to feed, himself and les, whereas jack only had himself to worry about. jack goes from that β screwing david over in the prioritization of his own survival (which to be clear i dont judge him for, i think it's very human) β to scabbing for david. which is a huge personal sacrifice, i mean jack literally puts himself under the thumb of pulitzer knowing the loss of freedom and humiliation that entails, sacrifices his reputation and his relationship with david in one fell swoop, damages the strength of the strike, etc
and when david confronts him, jack says, "i aint like you. it's just me, i gotta look out for myself." and what always gets me is how thereβs such a huge contrast between what comes out of jack's mouth (i'm only in it for myself, i dont care about you) vs what the reality of the situation is (i'm doing this to protect you, i'm breaking your heart because of you)
like. something about david makes jack throw away his self preservation instincts, which is what makes him so flighty, AND confront his deeply rooted belief that he isn't loved, which he copes with by telling himself that he can move to santa fe no problem because he has no real attachments here. in the end it always circles back to the fact that when jack makes the decision to stay in new york, he looks at david and grins and says. "I got family here." really good.
i will never understand how some people are just. not into fandom content. what do you do with your time? what plays out in your head when you have nothing to do? youβre really telling me you watch a movie or show or read a book and just go yep thatβs all i need of that story and those characters? youβre not hungry for more ??
like. some people watched newsies and weren't desperate for more javid? didn't want to know more about spot conlon and the brooklyn newsies? weren't in need of more of race albert and finch being little shits?
wild.

Friend: Don't you want to have a romance?
Me: I'm good, I have romance at home.
Romance I have at home:
βIβm telling my crush I like themβ βIβm telling my parents ___ wish me luckβ
Ok but Iβm telling those in power who are safe in their power we will not obey? Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side, too few in number and too proud to hide??
sometimes i think about him
