[ghostlysodo]

i can’t sleep so… newsies modern era headcanons?!?!

- race like… is a little bitch. but not in the 1899 15/16 year old boy way, but rather the 2024 15/16 year old boy who makes so many morally incorrect jokes but he actually makes them funny

- going off of that he completely RUINS the humor of all of the others (namely crutchie)

- speaking of crutchie. i believe he gets heavily involved in online discourse surrounding human rights, and whenever he is literally done with the person he adds a “:)” at the end of his statements to psyche them out.

- jack does art commissions, but ONLY for his friends. although he silently judges some requests and just avoids them like the plague until they forget about it

- davey has an astigmatism so he technically doesn’t need to wear glasses all the time because he can still see, but whenever jack wants to show him a drawing on his tablet he stops jack and SEARCHES for those glasses like they could save the world so he could see the drawing without little lines from the light

- katherine is a decorated writer, but she’s very disturbed by the concept of young adult books and booktok and will advocate viciously against them inside of comment sections

- romeo and race share a journal of quotes featuring the groups worst moments… some seem HORRID out of context such as :

“DID HE JUST FUCK HIS LEG???!?” - Albert

“no they don’t deserve them… SHE DREW BLOOD” Davey

“i’m like a floridian who came up to maine for winter” Jack

“50 Shades of Grey is TAME” Katherine

“i’m gonna jump off the stage” Race

“you see… i get scared whenever people put things in my mouth” Crutchie

- sarah goes thrifting to make upcycled fashion looks! like the girl can do anything with a bit of thread and a sewing needle

- on that same note- sarah embroiders designs into all of the groups shoes whenever they start to wear out to get the most use out of them. i imagine some of these designs would include…

race - a wasp holding a cigar (don’t ask i have a vision)

jack - a miniature version of santa fe, or atleast a city skyline

katherine - lyrics to her favorite song and a heart (kath doesn’t wear the shoes again but she gladly keeps them on display in her room)

crutchie - a robotic flamingo (i have reasons)

- race runs track and cross country! although i do think that is a rather popular headcanon

- nobody knew kath until davey met her through debate team. she was the only one with a solid line of reasoning on the other side and in that moment david felt nothing but respect towards her and forced her to join the group.

- speaking of teams- albert and crutchie do robotics!

- albert bought a tattoo gun specifically for jack to tattoo a hyper realistic watch onto his wrist. now every time somebody asks him the time he tries to gaslight the fuck out of them.

- this is my personal favorite atm- spot has picked at the scabs from bug bites on his arms since he was a child, which left him with a bunch of tiny scarred dots across his arms… which is why his nickname is spot.

i have lots more but i literally can’t recount them right now

[knockoff-conlon]

modern newsies hcs!!

- albert has pots and faints a LOT because he does nothing to manage it. has lots of bruises/cuts from this.

- davey wears a magen david around his neck. his mom gave it to him on his bar mitzvah day.

- race is a classically trained ballerina.

- kid blink is just constantly getting into fights at school (he wins)

- jack's mom died when he was a kid and after she died, his dad was abusive. jack was emancipated at 15.

- finch has autism. he's hyperfixated on birds and will randomly blurt fun facts.

- crutchie uses forearm crutches.

- spot has a bad knee injury from when he was a little kid and fell down the stairs. often wears a knee brace/knee tape. he doesn't explain it. theories are spread.

- splint is a bit of a ho (very affectionate) and the others don't understand how she gets so many men + women.

- katherine is on the girls' ice hockey team in high school. not only is she jacked but she is also violent when she's challenged.

- sarah is older than davey and jack by three years but only two years older than kath.

- race is abnormally strong, wins every arm wrestle ever. can pick spot up and toss him around like a pizza.

The Annual Christmas Party 2024

Halloween Last Year

Last Year

Halloween

Jack Kelly - The Abominable Snowman

Jack is trying to get past the last party he threw. He debated whether or not to even throw this party, because of how the last has ended. But he does, to try to prove he’s fine. He dresses up as the Abominable Snowman, wearing all white, a furry white coat with matching boots and white antlers with icicles hanging from them. He uses makeup to make his skin look frost bitten. He decorated his apartment as a sort of snowy cave and all the cocktails are frosty and blue and full of a lot of alcohol. He ends up actually having fun and David and him end up pulling an all nighter in his bed, doing everything but sleeping.

Year Previous: Santa Claus

David Jacobs - A Christmas Angel

David fears Jack is angry with him and asks Race for help in a costume because he wants to have a serious talk with Jack tonight about having a long term, serious relationship. Race makes him into a Christmas Angel, letting David wear a lot of his own jewelry, all white, with large wings and feathers glued to him. David pulls Jack aside at the party to talk to him, starting to apologize and they just end up making out in the kitchen for most of the night. David invites Jack to Hanukkah with his family. Sarah approves.

Year Previous: Conductor of the Polar Express

Racetrack Higgins - A Slutty Christmas Present

Race is the first person to show up at his brother’s apartment in almost no clothing, much to Jack’s horror. Race is dressed as a Christmas gift for Spot, using mostly Christmas ribbon to conceal himself. He’s only wearing a tight pair of boxers. He’s crafted a crown of gift wrapping bows and uses wrapping paper and ribbon to wrap around his nipples and thighs, as well as his hips and over his boxers to make it look like he’s truly wearing nothing. Jack and him get into a heated argument over Race’s costume choice and Jack tries to force him to wear one of his own old costumes. Race refuses and Spot gives Race his jacket to try to cover him up. Jack is not happy about it.

Year Previous: Cousin Eddie

Spot Conlon - John McClane

True to the last few years, Spot is good old John. It is the only costume he ever wears to this party and he’s not about to change that now. He ends up asking Jack if he can ask Race to marry him.

Year Previous: John McClane

Crutchie Morris - Tally the Elf

Crutchie is the newest Christmas sensation, Tally. He is a bit anxious to be around everyone because of the tension going on, but is ultimately able to have a good time and is everyone’s favorite bartender this year.

Year Previous: Hermey the Elf

Katherine Plumber - Harry

Katherine goes with Sarah as the Wet Bandits. She is Harry. She and Jack talk and make up and Katherine tells Jack that he needs to accept that he loves David and get over his fear of commitment fast.

Year Previous: Heat Miser

Sarah Jacobs - Marv

Sarah is Marv and she is here to have a good time. She get wildly drunk and then tells Katherine to put a baby in her.

Year Previous: Snow Miser

Albert DaSilva - An Eloise Christmas

Albert is an Eloise Christmas, everything is pink. His gifts, his outfit, everything, and he confesses his love for his new coworker, Finch.

Year Previous: Christmas Tree
