Modern Newsie headcannons: NYC edition

i know the newsies live in nyc but a lot of the headcannons aren’t about them living in nyc so i came up with some

- Race sleeps a lot on the subway, mostly when he’s with albert cuz he knows albert will get them off at the right place. When they’re standing on the subway, and race is leaning his head on albert’s shoulder, al will keep his arm around Race’s waist so he doesn’t fall. If he’s asleep while they’re sitting down, albert will make sure his head doesn’t hit the wall.

- race and al use one pair of air pods on the subway to listen to the same music

- jack hates the subway (country boy at heart)

- finch will always ask someone if they would get up for crutchie to sit down if they’re are no empty seats

- race just knows the manhattan subway and streets by heart (native new yorker lookin ass)

- david carries hand sanitizer with him for after using the subway cuz you don’t know where everyone’s hands have been (the other newsies catch on cuz it’s smart)

- david is TERRIBLE at navigating the subway system. it’s overwhelming to him. he has cried while trying to figure out where they’re supposed to go when going somewhere new and jack takes over and never lets him navigate again. (unless he really wants to)

- race fanning albert while they wait for the subway (it’s hot as fuck down there)

- i know a very popular hc is that one of the newsies (usually jack) has a van, but realistically, these mfs don’t own cars 😭

- albert and jack will almost always take the stairs over the escalator

- race has fallen asleep alone on the subway and ended up somewhere completely different than where he was headed, which is why he now usually only sleeps if he’s with someone else

- most of the newsies live in lower manhattan (duh), but some of them live uptown north of central park. jack and crutchie live in the bowery with medda. the jacobs live in the lower east side (many jewish families settled there when they moved to nyc). races family lived in east harlem, but they moved to lower manhattan when race was a baby. spot and elmer are roommates (they live in brooklyn)

- race family is the classic italian roman catholic family

- david, sarah, and les are first generation immigrants from poland

- finch has picked up a pigeon off the streets on multiple occasions

- most of the newsies have never really left the city

- you know the newsies are constantly joining broadway lotteries

- race works at the broadway dance center (sky flaherty core)

- albert has no patience for slow walkers, he weaves in between people. he always looks like he’s on a mission.

that’s it for now !!

Albert DaSilva and Spot Conlon have beef, and no one's sure if it's real or a bit.

[orangesand-lemons-234]

[applesauce1739]

Drop your newsies headcanons im bored

[ya-what--ya-erster]

discuss this with me: headcanon that Albert is like. Madly embarrassed over his hair. Like the reason he wears his hat backwards is because it covers more of his hair. He doesn’t like being easy to pick out in a crowd.

[trustworthytoast]

Modern era Albert does Parcour

I'm sorry I don't make the rules

[fart-boys-blog]

newsies designs and hcs!! :3

[raggedy-albert]

albert is not allowed to accept dares because he will do it every single time no matter what

[toffyrats]

me and the Ralbert Truthers have a love hate relationship because yeah i love ralbert most of the time but i also love redfinch and making albert suffer

[albertsbootayyy]

I feel like the whole “race and albert are banned from the kitchen” is just slightly off: either they will burn your kitchen down but somehow still put something on the table that is worth five michelin stars

or are both individually excellent cooks but should not be put together (which I feel like honestly counts for almost everything they do together, it’s like their rational working braincells turn off when they are together and only turn on again when they’re apart)

[blinkinbrothershark]

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).

Silly Newsies Headcannons!!!

Most of these came from my current production of newsies! So most of them are about Finch and Mush.

- Modern Albert is either goth or punk, and he has a good amount of facial piercings

- Finch has ADHD (this is cannon cuz i’m playing finch and i have adhd)

- Finch has some sort of disorder that causes chronic pain in his joints (again this is cuz i’m playing finch and this is me fr)

- Finch and Mush are siblings (Finch is the older brother and Mush is the younger sister) and most of Mush’s clothes are Finch’s old clothes

- Specs can’t read (“I hope it’s real bloody with a nice clear picture” mf cannot read so he needs the picture)

- Mush is a lesbian and in love with Katherine (mush in my production says so herself)

- Morris is scared of Finch because Finch always shoots him with his slingshot

- Mush and Specs call Finch a thousand different nicknames that are close to finch but not finch. ex: fence, french, fench, fartch

- Crutchie and Finch are besties

- Finch is not so sure about Jack’s ability to lead a strike (this is pretty cannon based off of his dialogue)

- Finch got his nickname from birds always landing on his shoulder (he’s like a disney princess)

- Modern Race chews gum all the time instead of smoking cigars, it’s like a stim, and Albert carries around a pack of gum just in case Race forgets his

- Most of the newsies didn’t know Jack was an artist

- Jack mixes up the newsies names all the time

- Some of the newsies with a nickname (Finch, Specs, etc.) forgot their actual name

- Finch will pull a newsie’s hat over their eyes and/or knock it off their head

- Race chews on his cigar

- Modern Race wears lipgloss like chapstick

hiiii head canons for Albert & Elmer??? Oh and Sarah

I don’t really have HC for Elmer but I do have some for Sarah and Albert! Anyways send in more asks please they can literally be super specific if you want I love answering them!

ALBERT HEADCANONS:

Albert was born in America and is of Irish descent. His father, and two older brothers all live in Manhattan. His mother is deceased.

Even though his family lives in Manhattan, Albert prefers to stay in the lodging house.

He feels like a burden living with his family otherwise as both of his older brothers are adults (in their twenties) and have “proper” blue collar jobs that bring in more money.

His father is a very grouchy and unpleasant man and is incredibly harsh on all of his sons. But Albert still looks up to him and what's nothing more then to make his father proud. He often feels overshadowed by his brothers.

When he got his picture in the paper he left it on his father's doorstep in hopes of impressing him. But his father never mentioned it and Albert doesn't think he even read the paper.

He considers Racetrack his best friend and he doesn't smoke, mostly taking Race’s cigars to mess with him.

He’s never had a newsie name that really stuck and he doesn't feel a disconnect with his birthname as other newsies do. So he's always just gone by Albert.

Al will get burnt to a crisp during the summer, he's always sunburnt when the weather gets warm. Race, who just tans, teases him about it.

Banter is his form of affection but he can sometimes go to far and end up coming off as mean.

He has freckles.

SARAH HEADCANONS:

Sarah and David are twins, with Sarah being older. She never lets him forget that. They're fraternal, but look very similar features wise.

Sarah has very thick wavy brown hair and it is her pride and joy. She keeps it very long and loves managing it.

She's very talented at embroidery.

While David and Les sold papers, she took up mending clothes to earn money for their family.

She plays piano.

Once she's introduced to Katherine they become best friends.

She loves romance novels, and she gets very invested.

[orangesand-lemons-234]

race thinks he has to earn somebody's love. being made sell papers by his dad from a young age, getting hugs and compliments when he sells them, but kicks and profanities when he doesn't, he's always thought that someone loving him has to come at a price.

albert thinks he's unlovable. his mother leaving at a young age and his sister passing away left him with his father and brother, who would either forget his existence completely, or instead remind him of how unwanted he is in their home. he's grown up thinking nobody truly cares to keep him around.

[newsiesheadcanonscusican]

Racetrack Headcanons

He and Albert are 100% best friends (sorry, don't ship Ralbert) and share a single braincell

Stoner. 100%

Medda is his mom too, can't tell me otherwise.

He and Jack have the sweetest sibling relationship known to man and even though they are not blood related, they are truely each-other's chosen family

He is obsessed with Spot. And it is a mutual thing. They are the totally and unequivocally in love with one another. The only reason he didn't go to Brooklyn when Jack was asking the newsies as a whole is because he didn't wanna out their relationship before Spot was ready

If he likes you, he will infodump. It could be about anything but he will do it.

He bites. He will bite you. If he likes you that is. The thought process being, person sweet, sweet = yum, bite if sweet, bite person

Albert and Race cause constant chaos and no one can tell me otherwise

Worries that those in his life (especially Spot, Medda and Jack) aren't proud of him and find him a burden when really he's not

Totally addicted to caffeine and nicotine. Coffee and cigars/cigarettes (or vapes if it was this century) are life
