👨‍🍳 Ranboo bakes, this time it’s cake! 🍰

🌙 Likes and reblogs are appreciated. Thank you all so much. 💕

Finally managed to catch up on Steven Universe. This was a really cute scene so I was compelled to draw it. Goodbye Steven Universe. Thanks for the memories. 😢

Maria Clara at Ibarra is a really interesting take on the classic Noli Me Tangere and I’m really liking it so far.

Unpopular opinion the 92sies Carrying the Banner final is really good. The way it combines tunes from all the other hits in the movie (EX: Seize the day and Santa Fe) and blends them into a triumphant end of movie song is amazing.  

🌙 Likes and shares are appreciated. Thank you.

🍂 Victor is a happy camper

🌳 I hope the trees turned out alright. Been practicing on background art.

Pardon me if this has been asked before but I was wondering if you had any information on the popular past times that the Newsies liked to partake in? I heard from a friend that they enjoyed watching vaudeville performances but I couldn’t find a source on that.

Yes vaudeville was very popular among the newsies! According to Children of the City: At Work and at Play by David Nasaw the boys used to sit in the cheap seats in front of the stage and throw things at people they didn’t like. This meant that actors would often play to the boys in the cheap seats rather than playing to the boxes as they do now because the children could destroy a whole performance if they didn’t like you.

Other common pastimes were penny arcades, nickelodeon theatres, and gambling games like craps. Boys staying at the lodging house also had access to a games room featuring dominoes, cards, and a billiards table.

If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend Children of the City very highly. There is also a great chapter about newsboy culture in Darkness and Daylight, which, while definitely biassed to encourage sympathy for the charity that published it, is still a great primary resource on New York in the 1890s.

Can you find them? :)

Heya! I hope you’re having an amazing day/evening or whatever! I just wanted to let you know that I love all of your art (and you’re colouring is beautiful) and also sorry for all the spam 👀

I hope you’re having an awesome day/evening as well! ☺️ I just saw this and OH MY GOSH, thank you so very much. I’m really happy to know you enjoy my art. ❤️💕
