davey is the guy who’s been a dungeon master since he was 13. he owns all of the d&d books and has subscriptions to d&d beyond and homebrews incredible campaigns for his friends and makes lore for his NPCs and owns at least 30 sets of dice. d&d is his special interest and he loves using his words to create worlds beyond imagination.

jack is the guy who only starts playing d&d because his boyfriend is a dungeon master. he joins a campaign halfway through the semester and he’s way in over his head but after one 3-hour session he’s hooked. he yaps to davey about his character ideas and draws everyone’s characters because he can see them so Vividly in his head. he asks really specific questions about the settings and the maps and he loves all of the lore that davey spins. he doesn’t expect to be a nerd but by god he is and it’s all davey’s fault

modern day les jacobs would be a brain rot kid and davey would struggle figuring out what he’s saying

“-100 aura” “les what the fuck are you saying”

(jack would understand what les was saying. he would have to help his boyfriend understand what les was saying)

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 !!

do you guys fuck with scenic and lighting designer jack kelly. like. i think he would design and paint sets. he would find it so fun to come up with insane visions for sets and find ways to execute them. he would go absolutely feral over lighting design. the color symbolism and the storytelling aspect etc. do you guys see my vision because he is living so clearly in my head.

Angel: So do you wanna talk about somethi- Husk: No thank you

[baura-bear]

My fave thing in newsies fan fiction is where Jack thinks that because of the way David talks or dresses that his family is much more well off and in the back of his head he’s wary and judged David a bit for that but then one way or another he goes to David’s house and sees that they clearly both grew up with families that struggled for money and David just got good at hiding that because of judgement from his peers

moments from our singing group but its newsies

Jack, looking pointedly at Spot: It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small....

Davey: I just can't sing that loud

Race: Just channel me *dances*

Albert: So I can't wear my alien beanie??

Race: And he lives far away...

Crutchie: just send a letter by pigeon, we got a lot of those.

Jack: Dating a Jacobs is great!

Katherine: So great!

Jack: The best!

Katherine: But they can be a tad judgmental.

Jack: Almost punitive.

Katherine: They are monsters.

Jack: That’s why me and Katherine formed a secret alliance to help each other cover up our little mistakes. Like back in December, when I hastily purchased an expensive prop for an open house.
