race, laying facedown on the ground: I CRAVE DEATH
crutchie, tsking: you shouldn’t do that, you know. god might be listening and answer your prayers.
race, literally screaming into the dirt because he is that bitch: I DON’T CARE. WOE IS FUCKING ME.
les, leaning over to whisper into crutchie’s ear: but I thought spot was fucking him?
race, who had heard the entire thing and who had taken offense to every last bit of it: NOW IS NOT THE GODDAMN TIME LES

"At age 10 (almost!) he is the youngest of the newsies. Despite his youth, this kid knows how to sell a pape! Looks up to his big brother Davey and would do anything to help Jack and the newsies win their strike."

Headcanons for Les Jacobs in Wallflower AU?
His full name is Lester Jacobs but he hates it and thinks Les is cooler.
Because he’s a lot younger than most of the group (he’s around 11 in this AU) he doesn’t tend to hang out with them a lot, unless its a group hang out and people bring their ‘kids’ *
He also doesn’t have any social medias or a proper phone because the Jacobs’ parents are quite strict on Internet access. He has a tablet that he plays Roblox and such on though. (I promise he isn’t an IPad kid as much as the others joke about it)
One of his favourite past times is trying to embarrass Sarah and Davey any chance he gets. If they’re with friends he’ll barge in and loudly proclaim something embarrassing about them. If they’re in a call be appears and shouts something into the mic. The others genuinely find him really funny.
He REALLY looks up to Jack. He is his idol. So he tries to talk to and hang out with him l the time him all the time, and Jack’s really sweet about it- he’ll take time to play Roblox with him.
Les also likes to play Roblox with some of the others siblings (Non-Canon characters I made up for the AU, such as Bumlets’ younger sister Alena, or Buttons younger siblings Ethan and Anna)
He tries to get Tumble-Boy to play but the kids seven and his older brother, Skittery is parnaoid Les will traumatise him with the game Doors. (It’s his favourite Roblox game). Skittery’s fear definitely isn’t from the fact Snoddy made him play Doors when it came out and he got jumpscared.
He really loves animals, his favourite animals are giraffes. He thinks they’re really cool and can and will infodump about them. He also loves superheroes and his favourite character is Red Hood/Jason Todd from the Batman comics. He collects DC figurines.
Bumlets taught him to skateboard and he’s been a MENACE since. Specs lives right next to a skatepark so sometimes Les, Davey and Sarah will go there to hang out and so Les can practice.
Racer taught him to swear and barely escaped with his life. Davey was really mad about it but now he can’t prevent it because at any minor inconvenience Les will yell “Shit”.
* : The ‘Kids’ bit is something that originated from my friend and I’s RP.
Skittery and Tumble-Boy are brothers in the AU and the others often refer to Tumble as Skittery’s ‘kid’ or ‘son’
Similarly, Hot-Shot from Brooklyn legally adopted Ten-Pin (6) when he turned 18 for lore reasons I’m not going to get into right now, but Ten is LEGALLY Hot-Shot’s child.
The group refer to Tumble, Ten and Les as ‘the kids’.
Theres also ‘The Miners’ and Price and HIS kids but I could make a whole separate post on that.
Wallflower AU Brooklyn boys and girls are so very dear to me.

My embarrassing admission is that I've been seriously into Newsies and Les Mis at various points, but I still can't tell apart those swarms of hot young background guys that the fans go crazy about when I watch them. Hell I still don't know most of the barricade boys' names! There's Enjolras, Grantaire, and the Comb Ferret but beyond that I couldn't tell you.

Getting into the well known ones that I just wanna know what you think about them
Davey🥰
I did les earlier so I feel like it’s fitting to end today with davey
david jacobs. what an enigma. the middle child of esther and mayer jacobs, brother to sarah and leshem jacobs. he’s a hot mess and a half shoved into someone who looks like they have their shit together, and his anxiety has anxiety. he isn’t the mom friend, but he is the friend who will come to bail you out of jail at 3AM.
he was named after david, who is an important religious figure in all abrahamic religions (sarah’s named after a spiritual woman also named sarah. les’ name isn’t found in the torah, but it means precious gem in hebrew).
when he first realized he was gay, he had the biggest religious crisis. by the time he met jack, he had already swung back and forth from devout religious to atheist TWICE. (he did eventually settle on believing that there was a god, and praying a little bit, but not to the point that he had been previously)
one time, a girl at synagogue told him that he looked nice when he wore blue. it didn’t really occur to him that she was probably trying to flirt with him, but he did learn to wear blue whenever he was trying to impress someone (hint. entire second act of livesies. one francis sullivan never looking away from him.)
he and kath pretend to be in a relationship sometimes. it’s kind of shocking at how well they make it work.
he skipped a grade in school, and so he’s directly behind sarah’s class when they’re both in school. she hates it and pretends she doesn’t know him in the most older sister-ly way possible (anyone else talks any crap about her brother, may the lord have mercy on their souls, because no one’s finding their body).
race gave him a very animated shovel talk when he and jack got together. spot turned right around and gave jack one, because “you’re the goddamn reason brooklyn and ‘hattan ain’t soakin’ each otha right now. ‘course imma make sure kelly don’t mess it up”
davey’s really good at impressions. like, ridiculously good. he can mimic ANYONE. when jack and race find this out, all hell breaks loose. (his pulitzer? spot on)
he gives race his old math work so he can study it.
he would either be a poli sci major (because he feels pressure to have a “real” career) or he would become a high school english teacher. no in betweens.
even if he’s not inherently religious, he still keeps kosher.
he hates planes. hates the altitude, hates the pressure, hates having to go through the security. sir is having NONE of it, thanks. he’ll drive.
sarah forced him to be the one to explain to les how babies were made. he has many regrets about that speech (it was the most medical, scientifically accurate thing ever), and they’re both still traumatized.
he doesn’t like getting drunk or high because he doesn’t like the feeling of not being in total control of himself.
(he is definitely a little bit of a control and clean freak, and I love him for it.)
