[we-are-inevitable]

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

Continuing with the modern AU because it amuses me 😌

(I also started this on Tuesday but took about 3 days to do the colouring because the art wasn't arting)

[loving-jack-kelly]

jack will say something with utter confidence that is true for him because of the terrible experiences he had as a child and because so many of his friends also had terrible childhoods a lot of the time it goes unchallenged. and then he'll say it to davey or katherine and they'll be like i don't know how to tell you this but it was absolutely not normal or okay that you learned to use a stove at five years old because you could reach the microwave and your father left you home alone for six days. and jack is like huh. when you phrase it like that it sounds worse than it was. and they're like no jacky darling. it was that bad.

Hc that every- and i mean EVERY- newsie even jack himself (for some reason)has a post on their instagram profile wearing a cowboy hat, woth the caption “this what kelly feels like?”

For the record, yes this is canon in my au. And yes i found at least one pic of every single actor in newsies wearing one, for my little screenshot thingy-things.

Fluorescent store lights, you shine through the night Illuminate my pores and you tear me apart Mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight?

modern newsies AU where davey writes books and jack illustrates for them

[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.

"fell in love with me"

[tommonikercomics]

OKAY OKAY I JUST RETURNED FROM WAR BUT I HAVE A SILLY LITTLE HEADCANON

In our odd little server’s modern au, Buttons works at American Eagle Outfitters- and now this is where I use my special puppy-dog eyes because I would DIE for American Eagle employee Buttons. Its just. So perfect. So perfectly stupid, but so genuinely plausible that I’m DYING.

(I feel like Oliver Twist rn, “please sir, may I have summore?? 🥺🙏” core)

Adding on from the previous bit of modern Buttons! Can confirm retail work puts you in a constant state of "freaking out" 🙏😔🤣
