Itey going on his tiptoes ðŸ˜
Any Itey thoughts to spare????
SO MANY!!!!
First, I love him and his big brown puppy dog eyes! Look at him!
Anyway...
He's from Naples and is the second of four kids
I named him Elio Olivieri and his birthday is February 10, 1883, which means he's 16 during the strike
His father died a couple years before the strike so his family saved up to send him to America so he could put down roots for all of them to immigrate
He loves horror and in modern times, he'd love reading horror comics
Some people underestimate him because of the language barrier but he's so smart! He just struggles with English since he's only lived in Manhattan for like a year
He's great with kids! He loves them very much!
His favorite color is green
Snitch is obviously his best friend but he really gets along with the other boys too! Based on how Itey was one of the kids to get between Snyder and David and their little interaction during TWWK, I think Itey and David would get along great!
He is so genuinely, unbelievably kind. He's such a sweetheart!!
Like many Italian immigrants, he's Catholic
Old ladies love him! He has about a dozen adoptive nonnas in the local Italian community and gets invited over for meals all the time
I love the idea of him going into a carpentry apprenticeship after leaving the lodge, which is what makes him enough money to bring his family over from Naples
He knows how to cook and is really good at it
He's such a great friend and everyone makes sure he knows it!
Enjoy!
I've made a post about this before but Bumlets and Itey already bought their papers! Even with the price change!
Poor Itey!

I put Itey as being from Naples, which, compared to Manhattan, is pretty warm and only gets snow very very rarely. So this poor boy probably doesn't handle the cold very well at all. Any spare blankets probably go to him, he makes Snitch sleep like a normal person (no feet in face!) so they can share body heat better, and his poor, pitiful shivering makes winter his best selling season!
I also love the image of Bumlets, Puerto Rican immigrant that he is, trying to make Itey feel better about the cold but failing miserably.
Bumlets: You'll get used to it eventually! Itey: Soon, right? Bumlets, shivering with chattering teeth despite the fact that he's lived in Manhattan for over a decade: Totally. It'll definitely happen soon. Any day now. I'm sure of it.
They end up huddling together like disgruntled penguins to stay warm.

I originally turned on Newsies for Itey inspiration for one of my wips and I'm happy to report that I have a little backstory for him!
So Itey (I named him Elio Olivieri) was born in Naples in 1883, making him 16 during the strike. He is the second of 4 kids and the oldest boy in his family. His father died in 1897 so his family started saving up to send him to America. He arrived in New York in early 1899 and has been working on getting enough money to get an apartment so his mother and siblings can join him in Manhattan. His older sister is Francesca (born in 1880), his younger brother is Pietro (born 1885), and his little sister is Chiara (born 1888)! I haven't named his mother yet but I'm leaning toward Giulietta.
Modern AU Itey is immune to the DC versus Marvel debate because he sticks to Italian horror comics like Dylan Dog and Dampyr!
(Talked to @thatoneandlonelyemo2005 last night about comics and haven't stopped thinking about this.)
