Why do disabled people, fat people, authistic ppl and nonbinary always get hc’ed as asexual?

Dgmw have your headcannons, some of them i have too but it’s like all of them are fanon ace? Like i love the representation but is it really representiom if it’s just a concstant stereotype thats e v e r y w h e r e? And mostly no one else gets hc’ed as aro/ace it too! Like do you think just because i’m authistic and disabled and nonbinary i’m ow so innocent and i can’t have sex??? What??

Watched Newsies yesterday!!!! I get the hype it's so good!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHH

[we-are-inevitable]

and the sun still sets the same // ch. 1 - javid

Summary:

“I get out of class at 5:30 on Wednesday,” David says, looking at the planner section of his notebook. “Do you wanna meet at 6 in the library, then? Figure everything out?”

Jack nods. “Yeah, sure. We can, uh, maybe bring some ideas. For the debate, or whatever.”

“Or whatever,” David repeats, giving Jack an unimpressed look. His head tilts just slightly to the left, and Jack watches David’s gaze look him up and down, like he’s sizing him up. Like he’s looking for his next meal, and Jack is the sorry piece of shit in his way. “Text me. I’ll see you on Wednesday.”

---

Jack and David live in different worlds. Frat parties and gay bars, chapter meetings and drag queens, beer pong and passenger-seat weed- they're a match doomed to fail, and they're waiting for the wreckage.

But maybe they're more similar than they seem. Maybe they just need some time to figure it out.

Maybe it comes down to decisions and choices, masks and veils, and how to straddle the line between them.

Y'ALL

I was invited to come see my old school's annual musical and I had absolutely 0 idea what it was or anything about it but of course I went right? and

it

was

Newsies

I'm losing my mind rn omggggg what are the odds??

[dashiellqvverty]

im so excited about being specs its like perfect for me because he really doesnt have that many lines (possibly the fewest of the named newsies?? but im not actually sure lmao) but i still get a COUPLE of lines including some tiny little singing solo lines. so its not overwhelming for me but i still feel like im Playing A Character

[piedoesnotequalpi]

Ignore that. I forgot numbers. Crutchie, 4 and 7 for the ask game.

(Character ask game!)

Howdy! 🤠

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

*slowly slides the Bachelorette au out of sight*

For an actual answer...I've suddenly forgotten every media I've ever consumed, but I feel like he'd be a good member of the Baker Street irregulars (from the original Sherlock Holmes stories) if I'm remembering the function they served correctly--he has the acting abilities and social awareness to either get people to tell him things or eavesdrop in plain sight, depending on what the situation calls for.

For a non canon-era answer, it'd be cool to see him in a spy novel of some sort.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I appreciate when people talk about Crutchie being a bit (a lot) of a menace with his slingshot, loud whistling, etc., and also I really enjoy the headcanon that he knows every resident of the lodging house's business. Let him take up space!

[jack-kellys]

crutchie for the character bingo!! :)

crutchie is literally just a very cool character. he has the power to dissent to jack, he fucking...kicks ass in the strikebreaker fight, and the way that he is interested in the santa fe dream but consistently believes in the power and familial ties of their city community. crutchie is why jack loves new york. and as someone who also loves nyc and has familial ties there, crutchie's true adoration of his home just makes me happy man

Junps from window whats up i need to know your racetrack thoughts

there's so many, anon

ok so first off, my boy. the boy ever. yes yes, I do know the fandom overhypes him, but I adored that scraggly lil adhd sucker way before I got on newsieblr, so those haters can succhiami le noci.

but the he! I've seen so many trans!race hcs and I honestly adore it we need more rep and he's just so ghgaaaaah/pos

he's also simply too silly and. hyper to not be adhd so you will rip that hc out of my cold dead hands

I ADORE sprace, yes, I do know they almost never interact in livesies, but their 92sies dynamic is so so fun and great, all the kudos to max casella and gabriel damon, excellent job, boys. especially since max was like, way older than all the others?? great job man, most fifteen year old twenty three year old I've ever seen

and don't even get me STARTEd on ben cook n tommy bracco. CARA DEI THEYRE SO FUN

the first time I saw livesies and race appeared on the scaffolding, I was like 'oh yeah, this gangly blond twink with the cigar is gonna be my favorite.' and then in Brooklyn's here??? when they all get lit up with the spotlights and spots just fukkin TINY???? LOVE IT

I think I'm also just biased towards race because I too, am a short sassy brunet trans guy, so like. mhm.
