Have I ever told y'all about my headcanon that Elmer is just a nickname and his real name is actually Douglas? And the reason he got nicknamed Elmer is because the other Newsies started calling him Douglas Fir, like the tree, which developed into calling him various different tree species. The most popular of which was "Elm", so for a while he was getting called "Elm" a good 90% of the time and any new newsies would have thought that was his actual name.
Yeah and then for whatever reason someone decided to full-name him, but instead of calling him by his actual legal name, they just lengthened "Elm" into "Elmer" and everyone thought it was hilarious so they kept calling him Elmer. Now the kid gets whiplash if anyone ever calls him Douglas.

Jack Kelly’s real name is Francis Sullivan, that’s just common knowledge. But that might not be the whole ordeal.
My dad is from Cork, Ireland and is semi-fluent in Gaelic. Today we were having a conversation about Irish names, and he said that his favorite name is “Proinnsias” (pronounced pron-chee-us) which is the Gaelic name for Francis. Considering that most newsies are first or second generation immigrants from Ireland, that means that Jack Kelly’s real name is Proinnsias Sullivan. But that’s not even the best part. Proinnsias in Gaelic means “little French man”. So Jack Kelly’s real name is really “Little French man Sullivan” and I can’t stop laughing about it.
Also, sorry for so many typos earlier, I had to leave for an acting class in like thirty seconds

Personal Newsie Headcannon
Davey is so adamant on getting Crutchie back because he knows he’s something super important to Jack. Davey was already head over heels for Jack while for Jack (as he sings “Someone Like You”) realizes that Davey is someone who he wants to be with.
That’s also why I think Jack mentions how much more smart David is while talking to Katherine. I heavily believe that Jack and David fell in love during the show.

Jack who is really bad with money, who spends everything he makes. A boy who gives generously to his friends, sure, but also, he's no martyr and he buys stuff for himself on impulse -- stuff he doesn't even need. He makes a lot from selling and money burns a hole in his pocket. Tomorrow is uncertain, he thinks. He's never going to get out of this trap, anyway.
Jack who doesn't know how to save for a big goal like Santa Fe.

Jack kelly (92‘sies) did not know his mothers diseased. No. No no no he had to find that out in that curt.
In fact i think she actually went to Santa fe. And she prolly even told him she was gonna send for him once she found something (if that was actually her plan is another question. Like, why wpuld she leave him yk?) and i would even go as far as to say he believed her. Obviously he realized that it wasn’t gonna happen after a while (tho he prolly convinced himself she would. I dont think he lied to everyone just like that. I think he lied to himself in the first place) but he didn’t know why. He thought maybe she lost the adress or some shit idek.

It's random headcanon time!!
Spot got his nickname because when he first joined the Brooklyn newsies he had a face full of prominent freckles, but as he grew older, they gradually faded until they were a very pale brown.
Albert had been given a lot of different nicknames over the years, but he hated all of them so he never let them stick. Eventually the newsies just settled at calling him by his name or a shortened version of his name (eg. Al, Albie).

no words, no eye contact, just grass

One time my professor told us half-jokingly that our homework for the weekend was to do something illegal and that he would bail us out if we got arrested. ("I've bailed people out of jail before, I'd do it for most of you.") The context is that we had established during class that you are not only morally justified but actually morally obligated to break the law if said law is unjust.
Anyways, that's Jack Kelly as a professor methinks, except he would actually mean it. Like I think he would make it a full assignment with a report and everything, host multiple group carpools, and provide an example list. He has committed every crime on the list. He has indeed had to bail a student out of jail before. This has not stopped him. "I have a sister-in-law who's one of the best lawyers in New York. As long as you don't cause someone to be hospitalized or cause major property damage we'll get you off the hook."

I’d say I’m on a delancey kick but aren’t I always.
Anyway! Something about how every version of yourself makes up who you are now
Something about looking at your younger siblings and being shocked by how old they are
