Tumblr media
• gets outwardly defensive when the other newsies tease about him being affectionate towards you, but it just makes him hold you/your hand, etc even tighter
• quickly leans in to give you a peck on the cheek as he enters a hug
• ALWAYS makes you blow away the dandelion and refuses to let you share you wish “because then it won’t come true”
• going off of that, he likes to give you things. he can’t afford to buy anything, but stones in the shape of a heart, single flowers off the side of the road (even if it’s just a weed), etc he always gives you, like a bird collecting things for their mate
• TEASE IS HIS MIDDLE NAME
• He is SUCH a tease, loves teasing you both innocently and not so innocently ;)
• He folds so fast when you tease him back though
• tucks your hair behind your ears— he thinks you look adorable
• Constantly playing with your hair, twirling it round his finger, brushes the ends against his face
• Loves making you blush, especially in front of others. He’ll whisper certain things in your ear so only you can hear and then pull away and smirk as he watches the rouge creep up your neck and face and spread to your ears.
• Smirks whenever he catches you staring at him
• He loves tickling you. Annoyingly loves it. He just loves your giggle
• He would never be caught DEAD babytalking in front of anyone, especially not his newsie friends, but in private…he loves it
• He’s very street smart, which is nice because as a young woman you tend to be vulnerable to mugging, etc
• Racetrack Higgins: self proclaimed king of New York AND king of romance
• His biggest green flag is that even after months and months and YEARS of dating he will continue to flirt like he’s still trying to get you

📂 for redfinch pls? <3
send 📂+ a character or ship for a random headcanon i have
Finch has 200% chill and Albert has 1,5% chill.
You really have to do something truly outrageous for Finch to react with more than just raising an eyebrow at you, whereas Albert has an extremely short fuse and gets fired up really easily by the smallest things. He says "fight me" a lot for someone who has won maybe two fights in his life. Sometimes Finch will just gently rub Albert's shoulders if he can sense that his boyfriend is getting unnecessarily worked up, but other times, if he feels like the person or thing that pissed Al off deserves it, he'll just unleash him.
"I could take that pigeon in a fight."
"I'm sure you could, sweetheart."
"I'm serious. I'm gonna fight the pigeon."
"Al, please don't fight the pigeon."
"... Fine."

Newsies Headcannons (modern day)
Jack
Is an art major, obviously
Bisexual 💗💜💙
He/him pronouns
Always has paint on his hands
Uses sign all the time to talk to Davey and Albert
Has entire sketchbooks full of drawings and paintings of Davey
Their friends tease him about being an obsessive stalker but Davey thinks it’s sweet
The only think Jack can cook is grilled cheese (and it took him three months to learn)
Sometimes he still burns one side and when that happens he wraps it up in tinfoil and makes another one because he knows Davey can’t stand when it’s burnt and is way too considerate to say anything.
Gives Spot the half burned sandwiches for Race and Albert when they forget to eat.
He definitely has anxiety
And minor PTSD from his early childhood
Mostly having nightmares/flashbacks about things he saw happen to Race or Crutchie.
Even though Race and Charlie are grown up he’s the most overprotective brother ever
Sprained his wrist once
He still complains about it hurting when it rains.
Davey
Majoring in English lit
Gay 🏳️‍🌈
He/him pronouns
Is the only person to still read the newspaper
Autistic
Uses sign when he’s having a hard time vocalizing
Asks Jack about everything, literally
Doesn’t watch much TV by himself so he kinda just watches whatever his friends want
He pretty much only wants to eat grilled cheese
Davey definitely has social anxiety because of his autism
But he’s usually all right because Jack makes sure to ask for the itinerary, bring earplugs/sunglasses, and drive him separately so they can go home of it gets overwhelming.
Hates having meltdowns in front of anyone other than Jack, even though their friends are supportive
Had never broken a bone, probably the only one in their friends group
Crutchie
Trying to decide between Ecology and Photojournalism
Pansexual 💗💛💙
He/they pronouns
Absolutely loves Anne with an E
They love to dress up soooo much
Is one of the most responsible people in the group but will spend all his savings on costumes.
He goes all out for pride, he will have glitter on him for weeks afterward
Sleeps on Jack and Davey’s couch when he’s at their apartment late because Jack will not let him walk home alone.
Even though they’re all adults now
“You’re still my little brother”
Wears yellow converse for almost every occasion
Has a ridiculous amount of pins on their backpack, funny ones, quotes, environmental causes, charities, art, pretty much anything he can find.
He occasionally has nightmares from certain foster homes but only like once or twice every few months.
But when he has them it’s bad, Jack usually has to drive to his dorm in the middle of the night when it happens.
Broke his leg in like four places when their Foster father (before Medda) pushed him off a two story staircase.
Still finds ways to stay positive.
Race
Has no idea what he’s going to major in but probably something like Math or Physics
Transgender 🏳️‍⚧️
Bisexual 💗💜💙
He/him pronouns
Is insanely good at math
Definitely has ADHD
Chews on everything his pens his shirt etc. it drives Spot crazy
He once chewed a hole threw the neck of Spots favorite red tank top
Clicks his pen constantly which also drives Spot crazy
Loses all his stim toys
Is actually fluent in ASL but has a really hard time signing slowly
Or he gets so excited he starts flapping his hands around for emphasis instead of signing
Is forgetful about everything
Hardcore Stranger Things fan
Can go from talking rapidly to sound asleep in three seconds
Will be taking Spots ear off about the most random stuff and then just fall asleep in the middle of a sentence.
Is the only person who can get away with calling Spot anything other than his chosen name (Sean, Seanie, Spotty, etc.)
Jack tried it once and Spot punched his shoulder so hard it was bruised for a week.
Race has PTSD from his childhood as well, before Medda took him in and he met Jack and Crutchie.
He’s usually okay as long as he can avoid his triggers but he’s insanely claustrophobic and will cry at loud noises.
He also has bad nightmares but Spot can usually call him down
He’s a fairly upbeat person in general but he definitely gets depressed sometimes.
Definitely has Anxiety
He always wears crop tops when he dances
He kind of wants to major in dance but he’s afraid to commit in case he can’t make the money he needs.
Even though Spot is like “married couples get joint checking accounts all the time Racer”
Race thinks he’s joking (he is not joking)
And sometimes he really struggles with his body, he doesn’t want to commit to wearing sports bras in tight costumes.
Eventually Race gets his top surgery
Medda has been secretly saving a certain percent of money from each of her shows since she adopted Race when he was thirteen because she knew he’d need it someday
It takes years but she surprises him after his first year of college and he gets the surgery at the beginning of the summer
After that he decides to major in dance (at Spot and Albert’s encouragement)
He starts wearing crop tops and going around the kitchen shirtless and it drives Spot crazy
Spot
Law (because he likes to argue way too much)
Gay 🏳️‍🌈
Demiromantic 💚
He/him pronouns
Half of his life is dedicated to reminding Race to do things, tie his shoes, shower, sleep, take off his binder etc.
Complains about it constantly but honestly doesn’t mind looking out for Race
Game of Thrones, Hannibal, American Horror Story etc. but secretly loves period dramas like Anne with an E and Bridgerton.
Spot will fight anyone who is rude to his friends, someone misgendered Race once and lets just say it didn’t end well.
“Hey El now you can practice giving someone stitches!”
He does NOT lose arguments ever.
He has PTSD from when he was a kid
When he gets triggered he pretty much won’t move or talk
But after a few months of dating Race he agreed to see Race’s therapist and it’s been helping him a lot
When it does still happen Race always holds him until he comes out of it.
He definitely has a lot of scars he doesn’t like to talk about
Race always respects this but he also kisses Spots scars when he’s shirtless around the apartment
Albert
Probably like creative writing or engineering (IDK)
Gay 🏳️‍🌈
Asexual 💜
Deaf/Hard of Hearing
Obsessed with Marvel
Also watches Friends Constantly
He loves to wear pride shirts to piss people off and if anyone says anything to them he’s just like “I’m deaf so I don’t know what you’re saying…”
He totally does know what they’re saying because he’s insanely good at lip reading but he plays dumb to piss them off and because Race thinks it’s hilarious.
He only wears painted boots
He has a collection, mostly he buys boots and then cons Jack into painting them whenever he loses a bet.
He definitely takes sign as his language requirement
Race takes Italian, Spot takes Spanish, everyone else takes sign and aces it
Except Jack because he’s so distracted by Davey’s excitement at being able to sign in class that he literally forgets to watch the teacher
Albert definitely has some tattoo that Race convinced him to get when they were like fifteen, something really random like a flower and he had no idea why he chose it.
Elmer
Medical School
Pansexual 💗💛💙
He/him pronouns
Definitely learned sign so he could talk with Albert and Davey easier
Because he’s sweet like that
He loves Star Wars, it’s pretty much the only thing he’s defensive over and he gets in arguments with Albert about Star Wars vs. Marvel all the time
He carries enough granola bars and beef jerky for a small army because his friends are all either a.) hungry or b.) forget to eat
Everyone comes to him when they’re hurt
Albert and Spot have both come to him needing stitches and he’s like, “I’m a first year nursing student, go to the hospital!”
He always tries to help them anyway
Carries so much first aid stuff in his backpack
Wanted to become a nurse because his mom had cancer when he was a kid and her nurse was always super nice to him when he visited.
Katherine
Journalism Major
Bisexual 💗💜💙
She/her pronouns
She doesn’t dislike Race or Albert but they both drive her crazy
She gets into such long debates with Davey and Spot, the three of them could go around in circles for hours even when they have the same opinion.

'jack has family in santa fe' 'jack was born in santa fe' 'jack has some kind of tragic relation to santa fe' no no NO you dont UNDERSTAND jacks santa fe isn't REAL!!! NONE OF IT IS!!! jack yearns for santa fe BECAUSE he has no connection to it!!! he has no expectations of it at all, he just found a place that was as opposite to new york as he could imagine and pinned all his hopes on it, THAT'S THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL!!! if jack did go to santa fe, he'd realize all too quickly that this was not the fantasy he built up in his head. he will always feel out of place wherever he goes because the thing he's running from is a piece of himself that he has to reckon with, that's the whole point!! family isn't something he'll just stumble upon by chance, it's something he has to be brave enough to make for himself. his santa fe could've been ANYWHERE. thats why "i'm dead if i can't count on you today" was so gut-wrenching, because he CAN'T count on santa fe. ever. IT'S NOT REAL.

my roman empire is bobbie chambers saying hannah is kathy's mum. I think about it daily What The Fuck.
but what if hannah's surname is plumber and that's why katherine uses it as her byline- to reject the emotionally unavailable father who disowned her and honour the mother who was prevented from ever loving her like a parent should have the opportunity to

— jack kelly nickname hcs —
ೃ⁀➷ summary: hcs about the nicknames / pet names jack would call you (with examples) !
pairing: jack kelly x fem!reader
warnings: none, some are smut-implied but don’t elaborate. There are some kinda goofy nicknames in here, but I promise they’ll all adorable.
A/N: please feel free to request a specific trope of hcs (or anything else!)
Tumblr media
He’d call you:
• Sweetheart ; this is his default pet name for you, he uses it often and in all contexts.
— “Don’t worry about it, sweetheart, I got it.”
— “Hi, sweetheart! You seem happy today.”
• Darling ; he’d use darling often as well, usually in more romantic or softer settings.
— “Oh, darling, you look beautiful.”
— “My darling, you didn’t have to do this for me!”
• Little one ; this term of endearment he’d use when he’s feeling particularly protective and caring.
— “I got you, little one, I got you.”
— “Hey, little one, what did you want for dinner?”
• Angel ; this is one he’d use in both innocent and not so innocent contexts.
— “Good morning, my angel.”
— “Oh, angel, thatta girl.”
• Honey ; this would be a favourite of Jack’s to call you. This one makes you absolutely melt, and is so comforting to you.
— “What can I do for you, honey?”
— “I know, honey, your tummy hurts, I know.”
• Sugar ; this is one he’d use not often but it would add a little fun to the pet names he’d call you.
— “Pass me the salt, please, sugar.”
— “Let your hair down, sugar, come relax.”
• Sweet girl ; this one he wouldn’t use much but it would always make you feel special.
— “Oh, sweet girl, keep doing that.”
— “My sweet girl.” He’d say as he places a kiss on your forehead.
• Lambchop ; this one is quite abstract but really sweet, he’d use this in more playful situations.
— “Hey lambchop, come, come cuddle.” He’d say and stretch an arm out to invite you into his lap.
— “What’d you want for dinner, little lambchop?” He’d ask as peppering your cheek with kisses, playfully.
• My love ; this one he wouldn’t use too often, but it would be very sweet.
— “Hello, my love, how are you feeling? Better?”
— “You’re so pretty, my love.”
Some nicknames you’d have for him (without examples):
• J
• Jackie
• Handsome
• Hero (this one would have come about after the strike and only lasted a short while)
• Babe
• Hunk
• Love
• Gorgeous
• Charming

could you do 📂 for crutchie please???
send 📂 + a character or ship for a random headcanon i have
Of course I can!!
Crutchie is a very kind, patient, and positive person. However, this does not mean he is naive. He's extremely aware of when a situation is less than ideal, but in his mind you can either let a shitty situation consume you, or you can choose to focus on the silver linings. Some people really underestimate Crutchie, and he thrives on proving people wrong. Some seem to think that because he chooses to be kind, he is incapable of setting boundaries or snapping at people, which is most definitely not the case. Cross the line one too many times, and he will let you know that you've lost his trust and respect.

also hi hello modern newsies time. modern spot has absolutely perfected the separation between his work and personal life. he has one real friend at work who knows both sides of him but when the random guy who from the office who barely knows him runs into him at the grocery store he's like whoah. you have a septum piercing and dress like you belong at a punk rock show and are apparently funny enough to make the twink next to you laugh out loud every other sentence. and spot is like yes :| and what about it :| and never mentions it at work again

When Albert first joined the newsies he was a loose cannon. They were all rowdy, they're teenage boys after all, but Albert was more than boisterous, he was angry.
He was angry to the point that the others were somewhat scared when one of the littles approached him complaining that he couldn't sleep. They expected him to be brushed off at best, shoved off at worst. Nobody expected Al to pick him up, hoist him over his shoulder until he squealed with laughter and haul him off for a bedtime story.
