#i do think it would be daveys cat first

[thefactsofthematter]

what would javid name their cat

[nevaroonie]

Not Fair

TW - Cursing, If You Look Hard Enough Slight NSFW,

WC - 1072

AN- well here it is the long-awaited part 2 of David Shaw was paying attention! I hope it was worth the wait{ I couldn't remember if the cat was male or female- mb.. like a slight David x Asher type thing- matching word count was not intended}

It’s not fair. You should be here with me. You should be here. Smiling, laughing, and gossiping with Asher. You should be here! You should be annoying the shit out of me. You should be here. Angel.. I miss you so fucking much. God theirs so much I wish I could say..

But I'm reduced to say it right here. Over a gravestone with your name on it. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve come here. Every day is harder than it needs to be. Waking up without you in my arms hurts. My mind likes to convince me that you’re in the living room playing Minecraft. 

Funny enough.. I’ve been playing Minecraft more. I wanted to see what you loved about that game so much… angel the last thing I expected to see when I opened the world biome I started on. Was an entire pack of wolves..

I would have been offended to see the name, Davey.. But now the only thing I want is to hear you say it one more time. Run my hands over your body.. Had I known..God.. I just miss you so much.. Things are so much harder without you.

I haven’t spent the night in the house since your passing. It's too quiet.. The pack has taken to watching over me. Or sleepovers is what they’ve taken to calling it. I'm not the world's smartest man. But I'm not stupid either… even when you’re not here..

Talking to you is easy. It's a bit funny.. You get to meet my mom before I ever did. Micheal stopped by earlier, he couldn’t bring himself to come to the service. And he felt bad about it. 

I'm sure you wouldn’t have minded.. But he did drop off your cat.. The one I said I wasn’t going to take care of. His new partner is allergic to cats.. Originally he was going to give her to us after the trip.. But you know how that turned out.

So he gave her to me. And I’m starting to see why Milo keeps a cat. Though she’s a gremlin just like you…. Were… it’s nice having a reminder of you.. But the main reason for today's visit.. It will be the first day I'm spending the night alone back in the house. 

Of course, asher is trying to come over. He wants to make sure I eat. As if he could properly cook something. The last thing I'm going to let his ass do is burn the damn cabinets again. Though he’s been the biggest help.

He’s even been getting into fewer arguments with Christian.. However, I feel that's more of them building a good relationship. But I don’t know.. I haven’t been focusing on my alpha duties. I took a break from some of the jobs. Milo and Amanda have been covering for me. 

But I know I’ll have to get back to work soon. As much as I wished the world would stop so that I could permanently sit here and cry like I want to. I can’t.. I know I can’t.. I’m an alpha let alone the alpha of one of the strongest packs in Dahlia..

I’ll have to go soon..but I want to say sorry.. I know I wasn’t the best partner.. I was an ass, a prick.. Any name really. It’d probably fit. These words don’t mean much now that you’re gone. But I still needed you to hear them. 

But do I remember the things you have taught me. You’ve taught me things I needed to know. Things I’ve needed to grow. Angel, you still teach me things while you're gone. Your cat teaches me things too. I brought her a bed. But she likes to sleep in our bed..

Or well mine now. I think the reason I’ve been so scared to be alone in the house is because we got it together. It was supposed to be our forever home. But without you it’s quiet. And doesn’t feel like home.. Or at least our home anymore. 

Your memory haunts the place. Everywhere I go in that house. I get reminded of what I lost… what the world lost. I still remember the nights I had to force you to get off of that damn computer. You did so much for me. And yet I can’t return.. The favor… Angel something I’ve come to realize, as time passes..

Yes, I still think it’s not fair you got taken away. From the people you loved and cared about. Yes, it will be hard to live life without you. But.. what you’ve taught me is things will get better. 

I will keep opening up more.. I will keep living. You will never not be on my mind. But your memory has and will make me stronger.. And the pack has my back more than ever.. Sometimes I wonder if that's the influence you had on them..

They most definitely see through my bullshit now. I know that's something you taught them.. You and Ash.. learning to accept you’re gone hurts. It hurts a lot.. But..i know things will get better. Angel.. I love you. And I always will. 

David stands, brushing off his jeans and wiping the tears off his face. It was getting late and he needed to get home. His furry friend would be upset if he was late. He took one long look at the gravestone. Forget-me-nots were growing around it. He laughed a little as another tear rolled down his face. And made his way to his car. As got in the car and went to adjust the rearview mirror. 

He saw a familiar face.. With a matching smile. 

‘’ Good job Davey ‘’ 

And that moment he couldn’t help but break into tears.. And laughs. His angel would do something like this. Or find a way to do something like this. They’ve always been like that. He started the car and that face stayed for most of the ride. They even had a conversation.. Before he had to say goodbye for the final and last time. 

His angel was floating with the angels. And probably telling his mom all about him. As well as gossiping with his dad. Time will heal this wound. But for now, he’s allowed to grieve.

Finished my Player Piano rebind, which is also my first completed binding project! There are several imperfections, and I came *this close* to casing in upside down despite marking front and back on the paste down, but I'm pretty happy with it for an inaugural bind.

Some details:

Cover design made with public domain icon art from The Noun Project, edited in Photoshop and Canva, printed on Cricut HTV with my Silhouette Cameo 4

Bookboard is precut davey board from Colophon Book Arts Supply

Bookcloth is linen Brillianta in lime

Endpages are Astrobrights cardstock in Plasma Pink

I used rebind tutorial videos by Abound Bindery as my guide

Some reflections:

I'm really glad I decide to do some rebinds to practice casing in before attempting to bind any self-made text blocks. My first attempt to glue board to bookcloth went poorly, but it gave me a sense of how much PVA to use as well as how fast I had to brush it out to prevent it from soaking into the board or drying in place, which resulted in a distinct impression of where I'd initially put the glue down through the cloth. I may switch to using a container I can dip the brush in to prevent that, and keep the squeeze bottle for narrow spots

I'm really glad I used silicone 'brushes'. Being able to rub the glue off after each use ensured it would be clean and dry for the next use and gave me a nice even distribution I don't think I could have gotten otherwise with my tremor

Making straight lines, whether with a knife or glue, is really tricky when you have a tremor lol

The extra expense of buying precut board was so so worth it, especially with my hand issues, and doubly so with my vision/vertigo issues that make it impossible for me to eyeball anything close to straight lines. When I do my next project I may splurge on custom size cutting to save me the frustration and pain even just trimming the boards caused.

I tried out cutting bookcloth with both my olfa knife and my rolling blade, and using the roller makes a real difference as it keeps any of the individual threads from pulling

Cork-backed metal rulers were so essential for any kind of cutting, but not being able to have the ruler flat against the material and mat did make it a little harder to get straight lines

Using a mechanical pencil vs a regular one also matters

I'm apparently one of those people who enjoy weeding HTV. So satisfying.

Also, those little silicone weeding scrap collector rings are much more helpful than you'd think. I used this one.

Doing any of this when you have a cat that wants to get into everything you do is a challenge of its own

I'm now working on the second of the three Vonnegut novel rebinds I set out to do, and it's going much faster than the first now that I've got a sense of what to expect and what does and doesn't work.

[enbysiriusblack]

"Hi Sirius!" Davey waved, passing him as they left class.

Sirius glanced to him briefly, not returning the greeting, instead turning away and jumping onto James' back.

"Do not talk to him", Regulus commented, walking a foot ahead of Davey.

Davey laughed, "Why not? It's Sirius! He's so cool!"

Evan snorted from beside Regulus, "Bit of a sore subject I think, Davey."

"It is not", Regulus disputed, "I merely find Gudgeon's infatuation with my brother to be mildly irritating and excessive."

Davey shrugged, "James is cool too. They're both well funny, did you hear that they stole Filch's cat? Apparently he found her in the transfiguration classroom dressed like McGonagall."

Regulus continued walking to their next class, "Theft is a crime."

"Makes you think about the phrase cat-burgular though, huh?" Davey laughed, "Oh, that's good. I should tell that to Sirius and James."

Evan patted Davey on the shoulder, "I doubt they're letting you into their little clique anytime soon."

"Oh", Davey's smile dissipated for the first time.

"You could always join my little clique though", Evan smirked, "Wilkes actually asked if you might want to hang out with us sometime. Well he asked about Regulus but of course Reggie would rather kill himself than hang out with that many people at once."

"Yes", Regulus huffed, "Because it has nothing to do with the fact you congregate in an unkempt classroom, consuming narcotics, and acting as if your families are more distinguished and prominent than they really are."

Evan rolled his eyes, "Ignore him, he's just cranky that Flitwick didn't give us homework."

Regulus scoffed, "Of course I am, fellow scholars are highly unlikely to actually revise or even look over their notes from today's class without having assigned work to do outside of class. It's pure idiocy that promotes poor work ethic."

Davey glanced to him, confused, "I thought it was ace we didn't get homework."

"Of course you did", Regulus sighed, pulling the classroom door open and leaving his roommates in the hallway.

"So", Evan held Davey back, "You want to hang out with us or not?"

Davey frowned slightly, "Nah, I don't think it's really my scene. I'm all into equality."

Evan shrugged, opening the door for Davey, "Suit yourself."

However, Your Mother

Welcome back to another Shaw Mates Group Chat Post that totally hasn't been sitting completed in my drafts for over a month because I forgot to post it nope not at all that would be utterly ridiculous ahahaha

[capitalisticveins]

Baaabe HCs yaaayyyy

- Clean freak x100

- Has the BEST wardrobe in the entire cast, listeners included. They don’t have as many shoes as Milo by a longshot, but the shoes they do have are IMMACULATE.

- Only reason Sweetheart said they could outdress David and Angel at their wedding is because it would be impossible to outdress Baaabe.

- Their favorite character is Edna from The Incredibles

- Both them and Angel grew up from humble beginnings, only difference is when they got with someone who had enough money to retire early *cough cough Asher cough cough* they IMMEDIATELY took advantage of the situation

- And no I don’t mean they were only with Asher for his money, I mean whenever they saw something they wanted the puppy-dog eyes and baby voice were activated instantly.

- They’re street smart. But academically? …it’s a miracle they got an office job.

- They take like 40 minutes to get ready in the morning

- Hates, hates, HATES chocolate ice cream.

- Chocolate ice cream specifically, too. They’ll eat chocolate bars, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate milk, chocolate covered strawberries, whatever. But chocolate ice cream? NO.

- Also hates mint ice cream, and mint in general, including mint gum and peppermint candycanes

- Them and Asher follow the Olive Theory. He hates olives, they don’t, so he gives all of the olives that are ever in his food to them.

- Except they don’t actually like olives, or believe in the olive theory, but they think it’s cute that Asher does so they eat the olives he gives them to make him happy.

- Best thighs in the game sorry not sorry

- Never was into sports but they’ll go on a run from time to time

- Was one of those students who never participated in PE but still passed

- Owns at least one pair of heart-shaped sunglasses

- Whenever the pack goes to a beach or pool, they play chicken against each other. (In case you don’t know the game, pairs of people stack on each other and try to push the other players off their partner’s shoulders). Asher and Baaabe are the only couple where the mate is carrying the shifter.

- Baaabe and Madelyn LOVE to trade embarrassing stories about Asher.

- They own a fur coat.

- They owned a pet ONCE in their life. It was a stray cat they found on their way back from elementary school.

- They managed to keep it hidden from their parents for 3 months before it found out how to open their room door. The parents gave it away instantly.

- They prefer cookie dough ice cream, or normal vanilla.

- Used to like rollercoasters, then heard of the Surge, and never went on one again.

- When Sam was added to the Mates GC, they were the only normal one who actually introduced him. Sweetheart and Angel were busy trying to do an “initiation ritual” by spamming the witch emoji.

- Baaabe was usually known as the only normal mate, until Tank and Sam started dating officially.

- BEEFY.

- Can suplex Asher and David.

- They don’t actually know if they can David, they just say they can.

- But they have suplexed Asher before.

- Has called David “Davey” on purpose once.

- David knows them as the “normal one”, and thought he was just hearing things, so he asked them to repeat themselves. They were going to call him Davey again, until they saw Arden, Angel, and Asher all signaling behind him to stop. They called him David.

- Pink and red otter pops are their favorite.

- Has a total of 5 siblings. All younger by more than 3 years. 2 girls and 3 boys.

- When meeting Asher’s parents for the first time, Frank taught them how to fish, and Asher’s mom asked them to read a preview of a book she was working on. It was the most heartwarming experience they’ve ever had.

- Asher’s never met their parents.

- Only on good terms with 2 of their siblings.

- When running, they run slow, but they can run for a long time.

- Only sport they personally say they’re not shit at is Tennis.

- They saved up for months to buy the ring they wanted for Asher, and he’s a light sleeper so it was a PAIN getting his ring size, but it was worth it.

- They would’ve proposed in the indoor date night audio if they knew they were going to have an indoor date night in the first place.

- Can hold secrets like their LIFE depends on it. Want to tell someone a secret but don’t want them to tell anyone else? Baaabe is your best friend.

- Will work overtime (I’m talking double shifts) without telling Asher on accident. Earlier in the relationship, they’d come home to 5 cop cars outside their house, and Asher (in his mom’s old robe, a green facemask, and plastic curlers in his hair) crying to a police officer about his “missing mate.” He never got charged with misusing 911 since technically their whereabouts were unknown for an unusual period of time, but they’ve learned to let him know that they’ll be home late so he stops blowing shit out of proportion.

- Will be overdressed for the SIMPLEST shit. Going across the street? Not in pajamas they’re not. 

- Uses the sandwich method to eat cupcakes.

- Actively and routinely goes to the gym with Asher

- Works at Vesta Distribution Co.

- Tips Guy over 15 bucks each time he delivers their food to compensate for Asher’s…existence.

- Eats Oreos the correct way. (without taking off the cookie bit and licking off the creme)

- Can effortlessly blow bubblegum

- Can’t swim, so if they’re at a beach or a pool, they either stay on land, or just walk in the water and stay standing.

* i have to have asmr or some kind of ambient noise in order to fall asleep, and i also have to have my body pillow to hug or else i cannot sleep

* emily irene. it’s the name my parents were going to give me bc it honored their grandparents but my mom hated irene (my dads grandmothers name) so she refused. i’ve always wanted to change it to that.

* probably camping with your tsundere alpha werewolf boyfriend because it’s the first real time we’ve seen davey share memories about his dad in a peaceful way, which was really nice. also the scratch offs reminded me of my own dad bc it was something he used to do for me and my sisters and it made me cry after listening and i had to call him and tell him i missed him LOL

* james probably? i just haven’t rlly gotten around to listening to all of the audios with james anton and marcus yet (still p new to the fandom)

* howl’s moving castle

* damien. i think we could commiserate over a really nice chocolate cheesecake abt our mommy issues.

* internet drama i come across. i have a bad habit of digging myself down a rabbit hole of the most inane internet drama and then telling my best friend abt it when we’re both sleepy but not ready to SleepTM yet

* ummm i’m a libra. myer briggs type is infp. i’m autistic/have adhd. i have a black cat named pika whomst i love dearly, i used to love reading as a kid but i kind of fell off and i’ve been trying to get back into it recently, i’m a middle child, i like farming sim games and rpg games and narrative games (like telltale games) and romcoms and some light horror movies. my top 5 movies of all time are howl’s moving castle, pride and prejudice (2005), scream, pacific rim, and the princess bride. my top artist the last 7 years in a row on spotify was hozier. my current favorite author is emily henry. my love language for giving is quality time/gift giving, receiving is acts of service/quality time.

Anon, I am gently patting your cheeks, I adore you so. You’ve given me so much information to work with, and every bit that I got just further cemented my hypothesis that you’ve gotta be paired with Huxley.

Speed run, let’s go- Type Two’s are characterized by a desire to be loved and confident in that love; Huxley leaves no room for doubt. Your sisters would probably be protective and want the best boyfriend for you; does it get better than Huxley? You’ve got mommy issues; he’s got two amazing moms who’ll love you and heal them. You’re autistic; we’ve got proof Huxley’s awesome with autistic people (i.e Damien and Lasko).

You and Huxley would make each other so endlessly happy. I think both of you are big “Quality Time” people, so nothing makes you feel more loved than a simple, domestic weekend at home. Huxley loves those cozy, lazy days of cuddling your cat (which loves him duh) and reading together. The only kind of day he might like better is y’all going for a hike or leisurely drive together, singing along to country music on the radio. (He definitely has a soft spot for the same genre, having heard his moms listen to it when he was a kid.)

Song:

First time that I saw you, mmm/ You took my breath away/ I might not get to Heaven/ But I walked with the angels that day/ She takes me by the hand/ I am the luckiest man alive/ Did I tell you, baby/ You are the joy of my life?

Speaking of country, I love to imagine Huxley as a Chris Stapleton fan specifically. He’s just so quintessentially, classically country and writes the dreamiest love songs; I can totally see young!Huxley singing Tennessee Whiskey long before he ever drank alcohol. Now, he sings it and other Stapleton songs like this to you. (Badly, I might add. I like to headcanon that Huxley can’t hold a tune to save his life, but he pulls it off well.)

Runner-ups:

Asher would be a fun runner-up for you because I think y’all would have fun playing games, like next to each other and with each other, you know? Like, imagine running a Stardew farm with Asher; it’d be chaotic and amazing. I also like Lasko for you as a runner-up, because who better gets mommy issues than another person with mommy issues, you dig? /lh

note: Irene is such a cute name boooo anon’s mom /lh

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

FLUFFY NEWSIES THOUGHTS

:D oh, i would be more than happy to provide

specs’ eyes get strained/tired easily, since his glasses aren’t exactly the right prescription, so sometimes when he says as much, boots and splasher will insist on reading to him like he reads to them. they’re not especially good at reading, and more often than not just end up making stuff up to fill the gaps in what they can’t read or understand, but specs finds that far more fun to listen to than the real plots of the dime novels the boys manage to get their hands on and share amongst themselves. (most of them are jack’s, and about cowboys.)

the bowery beauties all know all the newsies that come in often - though they rarely speak with them - and will ask after someone if they haven’t been coming for a while. albert finds out one of the girls asked after him and won’t shut up about it for weeks. (he omits that, as finch told him, the girl called him “the little red-haired one”.)

les is a terrible teacher, but is adamant that he’s going to teach the newsies how to read regardless. he really does do his best, even though his teaching is largely “um, just…look at what the letters say and put them together and read the word!”. some of the other newsies, in turn, help les with his schoolwork - elmer loves doing maths with him, and finch loves studying poetry. if he mentions particularly liking a poem, davey will copy it out for him and give it to him to keep. sometimes, finch will then give them to albert if they’re ones he thinks al will like too.

mike and ike have their own secret made-up language. they share a bunk, and whenever they’re sat together on one of their mattresses at night before they go to sleep, they can be heard talking animatedly in that nonsense tongue. they’ll never tell anybody what any of it means (but they’ll sometimes whisper to the kids if they ask. reveal that they just called race some silly childish name, or that they’re gossiping about jack and davey.)

katherine brings the newsies little treats whenever she can - sweets and pastries. henry helps her choose them by saying things he remembers trying and loving, and he’s as delighted for the opportunity to try them again as he is for the opportunity for everyone else to try them for the first time. also, jack really does always deliver the morning paper to her personally - he buys his papes and stops by her place first thing.

crutchie ties the laces of the newsies that don’t know how. they lift their legs up for him since he can’t crouch down, and he ties them up quick and efficient with steady hands. (he’s also tied morris’ laces for him before. they were at the circulation office and oscar was busy serving the last of the newsies, and crutchie could just see morris staring with mounting distress at his laces which had apparently come loose. so he just marched over and silently tapped the low wall to direct morris to put each leg up in turn, and tied them with the same efficiency he uses for the kids. morris ducked his head and mumbled his thanks, shyer than crutchie thought he was capable of being. crutchie’s so smug about it.)

stray will tell any and all of the newsies about stray animals she met that reminded her of them. this ranges from telling crutchie how she met the most tenacious little cat with a bum leg who was adamant on climbing a wall (which it succeeded in doing, eventually, though she watched just to make sure), to telling sniper she met a cat that was a total asshole and swiped her across the nose with effortless accuracy.

[jack-kellys]

maybe. A splasher please wbwb? For the character asks wbwbbw

— davey :]

@walkman-cat literally would be my pleasure im just so happy he exists outside of school productions now

send a character and i’ll do the following:

one aspect about them i love

government assigned youngest. from birth. it’s so funny to me i love it

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

idt we’ve had enough time with his existence for me to feel like anyones done anything ooc with him tbh, BUT- i do find it significant that while he literally like. got his name by jumping into the river and saving someone (read: got his name by taking direct action), mike legit has to yell at him to do something during the big strikebreak fight. so that dichotomy is like. a) unmissable and b) the only two real pieces of character we even have !!

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

fuck it. trans. transing him rn. like very young age, first coming to the lodge. and then manhattan was like so true you are a boy. let’s help with that

he’s government assigned younger brother, HOWEVER. i think he’s 12 and not super super young tbh. mostly bc i can’t write someone younger than les. but tbh i do this with all the onstage newsies as well idt anyone onstage is playing younger than 12ish in my mind

one character i love seeing them interact with

tommy boyyy~. i looove them. their dynamic is wonderful. that’s tommy’s kid fr

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more

wish he interacted with jack more tbh! i love how jack interacts with jojo (for multiple personal reasons as well) and splasher is also just little and wiry so i wish he picked him up too hehe :)

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

splasher jojo mike trio of all time. 12-14 year olds just having fun being kids. and then tommy is wearing like 3 diff kiddie backpacks so they don’t run off

i Looove splishsplash so thank u for the ask!!

[trash-bats]

First off, thank you for your enthusiasm Wintyr :D

There's at least three AFI notes I could think of -- the invite from Clandestine, the Miss Murder note, and the invite from Hidden Knives. I needed something to rep Blood so I went with HK in the sketch, but I'm reconsidering it since it's not as iconic or legible. It's hard to think of other Blood rep besides putting the triangle/blood drops logo somewhere. (A Snow Cats themed plush does sound cool, like if it had a "cutie mark" of the logo??) Miss Murder should get representation though. Would a few knives poorly hidden within the piece count as a Hidden Knives reference...?

The icy grey pants + pink shoes would probably only work if I do the piece in full color, but also damn I want to reference it lol! Maybe alternatively I could hide a muddy bike to represent the "filthy bike-o"? I'm also now thinking about a) including the AFI-branded Vans, and b) drawing only a single shoe to thinly reference the iconic "is that not you're fucking shoe? You just wanted it because I touched it?!" from my first AFI concert.

I def need something from the Five Flowers mystery -- I actually took part of my name from it! (chopped the "char" off of "charlottenothing"). Will have to do some sleuthing to see if I can get any image references of the secret show tix. I have the ticket stub for "The Nightmare After Christmas" show in 2002 with the TNBC art on it, but maybe I can fit both.

Thinking about some other additions. I need is something to represent STS20 -- probably going with the leaf confetti for that. Also could use a 337 somewhere. I think I'm missing SYMAOYE rep...I considered doing the magic box where the album art was taken from, but that would be awfully complicated. Can't exactly do the entire ice cream truck from the Third Season mv. Something to do with threes??? Maybe I should go over the lyrics to try and find something. Black Sails needs something too -- perhaps a Malleus Maleficarum book?

Going off of your idea of using a photo of a kid with a mohawk, I think I could maybe pull off including at least one Polaroid & it would be fun to reference an old photo of Davey in particular. I know exactly which one I'd want to do, too. I can't find it offhand, but it's from the mid-90's when he had a mohawk & he's making a ridiculous face.

More possible ideas: the shovel from my beloved "goth mom" photoshoot circa 2002. Flowers referenced in their lyrics, perhaps the bouquet of flowers from the Dulcería mv. A pumpkin from the Totalimmortal mv. A (vegan) muffin, to reference Davey's quote in the Punk Rock Museum. CD's/vinyl of some of their big inspos like Misfits & The Cure.

I certainly have a lot to think about & research >:3

[anonymouspuzzler]

I've got a bunch of random questions from off the top of my head so pardon me for this...

• Who is. More likely to own 10 cats between the trio :3c

• Who is more likely to fall asleep on the couch while watching tv and the one most likely to either tuck that person in or carry them to their bed

• Any "irrational" fears that the trio got? :0

• Fave flavour of ice cream if they eat / can eat em

• How old is Minnie— I assume Buck and Davey are in their 40s-50s so I won't ask abt that! Unless you clarify, that's alr too :3c

• How would the trio react if. They met clones of themselves and had to figure out which are the OG ones out of each other...........

• Can I pet da Cookie... Also does da Cookie bite.......

THE QUESTIONS GAUNTLET!!! FUCK YES!!!!!

It's a close one - Minnie's the big animal-lover of the trio, but also because of that, I think she'd be more likely to recognize when Too Much Is Too Much and try to get those cats to other, safe, loving homes. Davey, similarly, is soft-hearted and would be likely to get attached, but is also fairly responsible and would know when to cut himself off. Buck will swear up and down he hates animals but he is also soft-hearted deep down, so I think he would be the most likely to get suckered into Ten Cats and have a hard time letting go of any of 'em.

Davey is a chronic couch napper, full stop. That said, I think Davey's the most likely to carry either of the other two to bed and/or tuck them in. (He's also the strongest of the trio - Buck can lift either of them if he really has to, but it's certainly not easy for him, and I don't think Minnie could pick up A Grown Adult Man on her own. at most she might be able to drag them a short distance. like, say, dragging Davey's napping ass off the couch so she can sit down)

They're all a little bit paranoid in their own ways, though in all their cases a lot of their fears aren't "irrational" so much as "very much rational but impacting their life in ways that aren't healthy". they are all so normal

Davey's favorite is a rocky road. I think Minnie probably likes a fruity sorbet best, but she'll have basically anything and be happy; I think she's probably a sucker for dumb novelty flavors too. Buck continues to argue that Regular Unflavored Yogurt With Nothing In It counts as an ice cream and he WILL die on that hill

Minnie has just recently turned 13 when the comic starts! (For the record, Buck is 49 and Davey is 46 - I usually just say "middle aged" but they DO have exact ages)

I think they would ignore the clones, conclude (probably correctly) that resident mad scientist Dr. Practis had something to do with this, and go after Practis to solve the problem rather than engage with the heart of the problem at all. (That said, Buck and Davey have enough of a long and intimate history with each other that, assuming the clones are purely aesthetically identical and don't have any of the originals' knowledge, they could probably pick out the real deal in no time. Minnie would probably be tougher for them since they're still getting to know her; Minnie, similarly, would have a tough time picking out the right Buck and Davey.)

Cookie was a class pet up until Minnie stole her took her home to watch over spring break and then never went back, so she's pretty amenable to pets and has a Very High Tolerance for bullshit before biting. She Will escape at first opportunity, though, so watch out

[we-are-inevitable]

Davey and Santa Fe- i’m very curious

this same ask was sent to asper so go read that bc it hurt so good

and where asper talked abt a little bit of canon era dreaming, i’m gonna talk about modern au reality!

i genuinely think that davey, though strong willed and generally confident in himself, would also be the kind of person to push away what he wants in favor of letting his partner’s dreams come true first. he’s willing to compromise and give away his entire life for jack, because he loves jack, and he wants jack to be happy because happiness doesn’t come easily for jack kelly and i think this would culminate in jack and davey moving to Santa Fe after graduating college.

and for the first month, it’s lovely. most of their time is spent fixing up the house, but they go exploring in the beautiful nature surrounding the town and find little shops and restaurants they like. jack is able to start selling prints of his original paintings and he gains traction doing commissions so it’s all really lovely, and davey finds work as an eighth grade reading teacher, and things are good and fine and davey definitely isn’t miserable. totally not.

because he can’t be miserable, this is jack’s dream, always has been, and he’s wants to support it- but davey is so far away from the friends and family he relied on, and santa fe is hit, which seems like a little thing to complain about but if davey’s environment isn’t comfortable then he isn’t comfortable and it makes him feel awful.

awful, because he’s supposed to be supporting jack’s dream of a house and a yard and a dog in New Mexico, when his own dream has always been a studio apartment and a rooftop garden and a cat in New York.

i think jack notices the shift around the three month mark. davey comes home from work and, instead of laying on the couch in jack’s sunlit painting room, he lays in bed in a dark bedroom. on weekends, davey doesn’t really feel like going anywhere, and when they *do* go out and explore, davey is having to force himself to have fun and jack can tell.

the breaking point is jack walking into their dark bedroom- the blackout curtains are drawn and not even the lamp is on- and seeing davey there, sitting up in bed and wiping tears from his eyes. he’s not freaking out, he’s not uncontrollably crying- he’s just resigned, and to jack, that’s even worse.

so, he sits, and they talk. davey tells jack he hates it here, in more elegant terms. jack tells davey this is all he’s ever wanted. and david says, i know, you’re flourishing here, and i don’t want to ruin that for you. i love you so much. i won’t be able to live with myself if i take you away from this. and jack says, but what about you? your happiness matters to me.

the idea i have in my brain is a break up. one neither of them want, because they’ve been together for nearly three years, but one that’s needed until they figure this out. and david knows it’s his fault for not speaking up and saying he doesn’t want to move, and jack knows it’s his fault for blindly dragging david out here.

because jack’s dream is a place, but davey’s dream is jack, and it doesn’t work for either of them yet.

davey moves back to new york over winter break, and starts a master’s program at NYU Steinhardt.

jack moves back to new york four years later, because he feels antsy and needs to go home.

he invites david out to dinner when he gets back. david agrees. they greet each other like old friends, and the rest is history.

Newsies as Things I Heard This Week Part 3

Race, who decided to fuck around and take an intro to med course: Boogers, man *solemn nodding*

Literally everyone else who was having a normal conversation 2 seconds ago: ...

Race: They have a purpose

Davey: What's on your dress?

Romeo: Are those corn dogs?

Jack: They're popsicles!

Katherine: No!! They're otters!! You're like the third person! They're two otters swimming next to each other and holding hands because otters holding hands is the cutest thing ever!

Romeo: Ohhh I see it now

Katherine: I would wear a dress with corn dogs on it though, that sounds pretty cool

I'm gonna drop out

Spot: What happened

Race: Change my name

Spot: What happened??

Race: Move to another state-

Spot: What happened???

Davey: He was talking to his english teacher while she was trying to grade and she asked him to shut up

Race: MY ENGLISH TEACHER

Spot: ooh... That's rough buddy

Jojo: Uh... I think it's red?

Buttons: Damn that's a big apple!

Jojo: I know it's like huge-

Buttons: What kind is it??

Buttons and Elmer: ...

Elmer: *bursts into laughter*

Buttons: *gasping for air* I mean... Are we talkin gala, pink lady, honey crisp...?

Albert: Do you ever want to just start some chaos for no reason?

Jojo: Oh! Uh... *laughing but the crying kind* I don't know...

Race: Absolutely-

Albert: Because right now I just wanna- I'm fighting an urge

Elmer: *out of nowhere, directed at no one, for no reason* itty bitty titty committee

Race: What? Literally what did you just say?

Davey, running on an hour of sleep, three monster energies, and the crippling anxiety that if he takes a break he will have failed his entire family: It's like thing that there where like... What is that?

Davey: Where all the words are the same? Oxymoron!

Race, who isn't an english scholar but is pretty sure that isn't right: ...no?

Davey: Wh- *realization* ... Alliteration. I meant allitera-

Race: DID YOU JUST MISTAKE ALLITERATION FOR OXYMORON-

Race: NO BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING OXY-MORON

Davey: SHUT UP

Crutchie: Were you on the marching band bus with the penis game last year?

Davey: THIS IS ANTISEMITISM AND HOMOPHOBIA AND- UH- fuck what see am I? I'm something else, for sure, right?

Race:.... An immigrant?

Davey: YEAH THIS IS ALSO XENOPHOBIA

Race: DID YOU JUST FORGET THAT YOU-

Davey: I SAID SHUT UP

Buttons: What?

Crutchie: The penis game

Buttons: No? Can I- I'm gonna need some elaboration

Crutchie: Okay so you say "penis" and you start really quiet and then the next person-

Buttons: Okay I understand. I need no more instruction, I know what to do now. I'm so glad I've been given the honor to bring this to Bus 1

Denton, addressing the marching band kids on expectations before they leave for their first away game of the season: Did I cover everything? Is everything said?

Medda: Language!

Denton, very obviously tired: Oh yes! Language. Only use the good words, not the bad ones. Like... Yay and... Yippee.. Oh darn... Holy smokes... Things like that...

Romeo: The trombone section shirt is going to say "I'm about to blow" and it's gonna have a trombone with a bomb

Henry: Why the bomb?

Romeo: So people think we're talking about explosions but actually... Cum

Henry: I mean the trumpet shirts say "I'm horny" so-

Romeo: RIGHT?! THAT'S WEIRD! If they can have that we can have this.

Elmer: Please don't quote me on that

Buttons: I'm quoting you on that

Elmer: Nooo...!

Denton: *chainsaw imitation in the middle of teaching class*

Davey and Spot: *autistic discussion about angler fish* (I wasn't able to write all of this down because deadass this conversation about angler fish lasted 20 minutes in the middle of my creative writing class instead of doing our work)

Elmer: *tricks his cat into thinking he has a treat when he, in fact, does not* Look he's looking at me like "you whore I knew you were lying"

Denton, teaching biology: This is called phagocytosis (fag-oh-sigh-toe-sis)

Davey and Race: *bombastic side eye*

Crutchie: *trying not to laugh*

Denton: It occurs when a phagocyte (fag-oh-sight) essentially, like- *eats* another piece of biological material in the body-

Davey and Race: *BOMBASTIC SIDE EYE*

Crutchie: *TRYING NOT TO LAUGH*

Medda, to her english class: Oh don't read that that's hetero

Les: you just use your tippies *talking about fingertips*

Davey: ... *trying so hard not to laugh*

Davey: I'm gonna touch you with my tippies

Race: *trying and failing not to laugh*

/after Les leaves/

Race: PLEASE GO UP TO JACK AND SAY THAT

Albert: *gets his heart broken by a guy* I'm straight now!

Henry: No!

Albert: I'm taking the rainbow heart pin off of my bag right now!!!

Race: I support you, I'm shopping for a straight pride pin to replace it

Elmer: Relationships are give and take, lately you've only been giving and he's only been taking you should really end that

Albert: thank you! A true friend

Race: here, here's an ally pin-

Albert: no I'm straight up homophobic after this

Race: oh shit

Crutchie: Damn okay look at you getting deep, freshman??

*long line to get in through a door*

Buttons: *opens a second door*

Denton: Oh there we go, second option. Always use plan b!

Jack: *snorts*

Davey: *side eye*

Race: *deep voice* get off my property

Race: You should keep that one in mind

Davey: I'm having a hard time seeing what I could use Plan B for

Jack: It's so weird to hear you using your straight guy voice

Race: *southern deep voice* oh yeah-

Davey: WHY ARE YOU SOUTHERN???

Race: *still in the voice* I was born in South Carolina

Jack: THAT DOESN'T COUNT

Race: *still in the voice* In another life I coulda been a cowboy

Buttons, about Oscar: Nah girl that is more than a bad day that's a bad YEAR-

Spot, sarcastically: It's governMENt not governWOMANt so sit down

Denton, teaching a band class: It's like your tongue is ever so slightly flicking the note-

Sarah, jokingly: :0

Davey, also a drummer: *trying (and failing) not to laugh* shut up

Spot, a drummer and therefore not a part of the tongue flicking thing: *starts laughing*

Specs: It's like we're a travelling truffle of elephants-

Romeo: Is that-

Specs: Yes that's the right term

Denton, about a halftime peice: No no it can't be that

The entire band: ah- pff- uh-

Denton: i's not funny anymore now it's just sad

Race: Alright I'm going to the bathroom so no funny conversations while I'm gone

*2 minutes later the book falls*

Race: Everyone point and laugh at her because her book is slowly falling off her desk

Davey: It's not that funny

Davey: *snorts*

Elmer: You have a cartoon character frown

Race:

Davey: shut up

Davey: What

Elmer: Like your frown is cartoony

Davey: I dropped ap chem

Jack: What?

Davey: I'm taking ceramics now

Jack: You-

Davey: I dropped chemistry for ceramics

Jack: You're so real for that

Albert: AH- You did not just L my jeans that are black!

Elmer: Okay but why would you have edibles if you could just have gummies

Jack, who has never actually done drugs of any kind in his life: I mean like drugs tho

Elmer: Okay but would you rather have a bowl of fruit gummies or like 3 edibles

Jack: But-

Elmer: Infinite fruit gummies or-

Buttons: We should give birds space suits and just send them up there

Davey: Huh?

Race: I'd get arrested if I was a politician

Buttons: See if they would fly without air

Davey: I feel like you aren't thinking any of this through

Romeo: Aren't the best politicians attested at some point? (/sarcastic)

[emmedoesntdomath]

What animals do you think each Newsies would get (tbh a good amount seem like cat people)

Lowkey would you think in cannon someone brings in this poor scruffy cat and all the Newsies take it in as there own child even though Jack said no

you have no idea how excited I am for this one

and so in true emme form, imma do it first

(I want you all to know that @sparkedblaze literally made rules about the order in which I did the masterlist because of my predictability when I get excited.)(yeah.)

I’ve already said that jack and davey have a dog named mr. cuddles, and I’m sticking to it. he’s a rescue, and mr. cuddles was the name he had when they adopted him. they were going to name him something else, but couldn’t agree on something (at all), and eventually just shrugged and went with it. 

spot has a golden retriever. her name is josie. he totally didn’t buy her because she reminded him of a loud italian that he definitely hates. for sure. 

les’ frat house that includes tommy boy and ike has two goldfish that they’ve named sunny and goldie. they care for them religiously, and will hear no slander upon their names. (watch me make this frat house thing a legitimate au. watch me.)(someone please tell me no) 

crutchie has a cat and dog (named arnold and fisher) who absolutely HATE each other. he’s in denial about it, and swears that they love each other, even as they aren’t allowed to be in the same room. 

finch has a beta fish named gills and a cat named birdie (albert named her). 

albert has no pets, because when he had a fish, he forgot about it, and it died. 

henry also has no pets, but that’s because he’s allergic to literally everything. 

smalls has a cat. no one ever gets to see or hear about the cat. jojo swears it exists. 

jojo has two guinea pigs that are named neville and seamus (yes, he loves harry potter. yes, he hates jkr. he watches the movies AT LEAST once a week)

elmer fosters dogs, so he constantly has different animals moving throughout his house (he also fosters children. fight me.)

mike is uncomfortable around animals, so he doesn’t have one. 

specs has a cat named talia. she is an egyptian mau, spoiled to high heaven, and the light of his life. 

skittery has a dog named spencer. he is probably the worst behaved dog you’ve ever met in your life, but lord save you if you mention that to him. (bumlets claims no ownership of this dog, but spencer loves him more than anyone else in the world. it’s great.)

bumlets has no pets, because why would he have pets if spencer loves him so? (-the actual response he gives to people to make skittery mad)

mush and blink somehow got a snake? I don’t know. I’m not sure they know, either. mush is a little terrified of it, but blink adores it, so they can’t get rid of him. his name is sir slithers. (they think they’re hilarious)

medda has three cats- pearl, octavia, and grace- and they’re super friendly. super cute, too. 

buttons had a dog, but then the doggie passed away. his name was skittles. 

splasher adopted one of elmer’s foster dogs named lana (after lana del ray). she’s old, super tiny, and really sweet. he sometimes carries her around. 

sarah and kath refuse to have pets, because their furniture, jack, god

and race has a habit of drunkenly bringing home animals- birds, dogs, cats- but the only one he’s been allowed to keep is stripes, who is the most offended cat, I swear to god. she bites, hisses, claws. he adores her. jack originally said no, and davey basically agreed with him, but then race asked spot, and spot’s a pushover who can’t say no to antonio higgins. so. he got his cat. 

[yuujispinkhair]

Hi hi hi 🥺 for the ask game!

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?

want any tattoos? What of?

What’s your favorite band or artist?

Heyyyy baby <3<3<3

No, but my cat usually joins me at some point during the night and snuggles to my chest!! She is such a baby <3<3<3

I love tattoos, and one of my best friends is actually a tattoo artist, and she is super GOOD, so I could get a really nice tattoo anytime I want! But I am very reluctant to get a tattoo because I have a hard time deciding what to get. I grew up thinking I would get a small lighting bolt to show my love for Harry Potter, but now I would feel so uncomfortable with it after the shit the author did. I think the first tattoo I would get would be a constellation tattoo because I am a proud Sagittarius. And tbh I would love to get Yuuji's name :) And song lyrics: I remain in shadows growing wings. Will I ever get a tattoo?? I am not sure. I am just scared I will end up hating it later on. My friend is always like, "Tattoos would look so cool on you!!" But I am still unsure aaahh!!!

My favorite artist is Taylor Swift because it feels like she puts everything I ever felt into words. I can relate to her lyrics so much! My favorite band is AFI. I love the mix of happy-sounding music and super sad lyrics. Their music helped me a lot when I was struggling with life. I always thought that if someone like Davey, who writes such sad lyrics, is still alive and still able to laugh, then I can keep going too. They will always have a special place in my heart. But I also really love Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance!!

Thank you so much for sending me these <3<3<3
