#also who cares but i swear im working on my nascar au college is just a needy bitch

as the holiday season rolls around i think about my (unfortunately abandoned, deleted. i miss it.) animaniacs/newsies au, in which it roughly follows the wakko's wish plot.

in terms of characters, i recall definitively: sarah, davey, and les as yakko, wakko and dot respectively. pulitzer and katherine were the dr scratchansniff and hello nurse duo. wiesel and the delancey bros were representative of plotz and ralph. and snyder was king salazar.

on a stretch, i want to say: hannah was pip (but much less boring). jack and crutchie were similar to pinky and the brain (but not bent on world domination. can't remember the specific character changes i made for them).

spoilers for wakko's wish!

truly don't remember the exact plans i had for the storyline besides the immediate similarities to the movie: les gets sick forcing davey to go out and work, but wiesel and delanceys steal his money. davey wishes on the wishing star and everyone races to reach it first. snyder tries to get the jacobs siblings killed. davey gets his wish and the whole town is restored to its former glory with the jacobs back on the throne. the end.

really sad i don't have the doc anymore because i wrote a super emotional 'davey returns home after a year' scene, followed immediately by him getting pissed and sassy with the delanceys. and i was super proud of the royalty-bedtime story! i researched polish folktales for inspo and i was really happy with how it turned out.
