Listening To Casmir Pulaski Day On Repeat So Many Times That My Tummy Hurts

blush is the og redfinch

excitable/antsy but also hesitant bf x RBF bf

don’t ask me to explain any more in depth i don’t think i can i just feel it

just a reminder for all my fellow writers out there (bc i’ve needed to remind myself recently): there is no wrong way to write, ever. the act of writing makes you a writer. you deserve a space at the table.

it can be so scary to share your work (and you never have to, you’re still a writer if you never do), but if you’re hesitant, please hold onto this: you need no qualifications but passion. good and bad is subjective and means nothing; if you love what you’re writing, you’re doing it right.

anyways i love yall and take care of yourselves!!

Y'ALL WE GOT ONE!!

So excited to cry over this, thank you for sharing :')

newsies hadestown au with David as Orpheus and Jack as Eurydice

David working on a song (Always the mouthpiece, the poet, but until he meets Jack he cannot put those words into action, and until he loses Jack he can’t find the power to voice them on his own)

Jack giving in to death (Jack scabbing, he sees David’s dream but can’t deliver on his end for one reason or another)

Davey going to drag Jack out of hell (He sees the dark place Jack are in and offers him hope, this is literally the watch what happens reprise)

Davey leading Jack out of the underworld because he loves him, so much, too much, and he has to look back because a world where Jack isn’t with him isn’t one he ever wants (Davey trying to lead the strike without Jack, unwilling to speak without Jack’s words)

Jack following, content with nothing but the trail Davey leads (literally the entire movie)

Like has anyone written this and if so gimme gimme. The parallels are insane and I'm yearning for it.

does anyone have an explanation for the last names of newsies side characters? like ik some are historical and some are in the script, but what abt like Albert and Finch? Or Buttons? Like DaSilva, Cortez, and Davenport all feel widely accepted in fanon.

just wondering if anyone knows. thank youuu!!!

THE BAND!!!!!! My newsies 5sos au all together!!!!! :3

i will probably be doing more sketches of them when i feel like it !!!

A little mar-bit jatherine at the behest of @sondheim-girly

redfinch is so special to me bc when i say “that’s a cool guy and his loser boyfriend” i really could be talking about either one

random modern newsies head cannons (with absolutely no evidence or reason) pt. 1

main characters first!

Jack:

Draws all over his clothes. Put a pen in his hands and he’s immediately doodling on all over his jeans. Ff there’s a design he likes and doesn’t want it to wash away, he’ll ask Davey to embroider it.

Also draws on other people’s clothes (with permission. unless you're Crutchie and then he's just gonna draw on you).

Leather jackets and cowboy boots.

Never says I love you but always shouts after people to be careful.

Never drinks water and always complains about having a headache, but claims drinking water means he wastes time going to the bathroom when he could be painting.

Can't touch his toes. This is random but I feel it so strongly.

Davey:

CANNOT sit still (or normally). is always shifting, sitting backwards in chairs, pulling his knees to his chest. Claims it helps him think better.

Majored in the humanities in college with an incredibly niche concentration/focus that he will always explain in detail, even if the person who asked about it doesn't care.

Designs his own clothes (and decorates Jack's). He wants to look stylish but is picky about the fabric and fit, so he makes his own stuff and it's rly cool and unique.

Goes to parties to watch people and silently judge them. Stands in the corner with a glass of wine.

Everybody loves him. He is so popular but has no idea.

Katherine:

Rock climbs. Jacked back and freakishly bendy.

Runs the school paper and is everyone's campus crush. She doesn't know this and also could not care less what anyone thinks about her anyways.

Has this one bright red jacket she wears from fall through spring, and is therefore never dressed warmly enough for winter. Her cheeks are always so pink but she claims she's never cold.

Stands with David at parties and takes notes for inspiration.

(I read this one in the fic Nothing but Old Doubts Now by CoraRemarks on AO3) but she has two dads; Plumber and Pulitzer. This is fact.

Sarah:

Plays soccer (midfield, though she did goalie for a bit too) and is insanely good at it.

For two years only wore her hair in two french braids. Immediately after she cut it all off.

DJ'd at frat parties for a long time and would always mix in the weirdest, nichest music. Was threatened to be fired many times, but never was.

Is always injured but you'd never know it; she broke her wrist once and it took her two days before she decided it actually hurt.

Nobody knows NYC like Sarah. She knows every store, restaurant, etc. and has ranked opinions on everything as well.

The WORST at sympathetic words but the best at sympathetic actions.

Everybody is in love with her. She knows.

I'm thinking of Paul beating up Ponyboy, cornering him in an alley, knowing it's him, and attacking anyway. Because in his eyes, this kid is the reason Darry is gone, hardened, shutting Paul out. Darry's responsibility for this ungrateful kid is the reason nothing will ever be the same again.

And Paul’s swinging on him and then this kid screams Darry’s name. For the shortest moment, Paul is comforted by the knowledge Darry is coming. Darry is coming back, with strong familiar arms to haul Paul off Ponyboy. And yeah, Darry will yell, and maybe even hit back, but at least he'll be here.

But then the gang gets there first and Paul has to scram, knowing Darry is going to hear about what he did and knowing he’s just ruined everything for good. No forgiveness anymore.

Might as well commit to it now. Might as well be the monster. Just to prove it never mattered to him anyway.

IM BACK BABY

they’re takin a break from selling papes
