Did anyone read we could be so good. It was bad. My book review:
Erm so pretty much the book is about wait let me just show you the desc
Okay so pretty much it was a grumpy/sunshine rom-drom for shippers of newsies that was set in the late 50s. At first I was like okay this nonsense is kind of fun whatever. The cuteness and shippable moments made me squee a little bit. But soon I got yaoi poisoning because this book was 14 hours long. And nothing happened. There wasn’t any conflict and the characters even went on a long tangent talking about how they hate how all “queer stories” end in tragedy. In that moment I felt the author of the book smirk at me and raise his or her eyebrows and point at themselves and then at the book like hey check this out I wrote a story about gay people that isn’t a sad!! Well man guess what when books don’t have any kind of conflict they become BORING! My absolute biggest pet peeve is that the characters mostly referred to themselves and others as queer. In a book set in the 1950s. They almost exclusively used the term queer men. Not as a slur. It was completely self referential. In a book set in the 1950s and like okay I know it’s like a thing people say and it wouldn’t have got on my nerves if they used it as much as they used homosexual or just plain gay but I don’t think they like EVER said gay in this whole book. LIKE you’d think they’d mostly be saying homosexual ??????????????? Anyway the writing style and story telling was extremely extremely reminiscent of fanfiction I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a reskin of (newsies?) fanfic, or maybe and AU of like stucky or something. If not this author most definitely had their start writing fanfiction oh boy. Now imo this isn’t like the worst thing ever as some of us like to read fanfic, but it’s not particularly moving and gets a little dry after a while. Might lay off the gay romance for a while it’s not good to listen to cock sucking scenes while I’m at work I feel like I’m going to hell

Yes. Yes, I do have an inbox full of asks from the game the other day. However, why would I be a normal person and answer them when I could finish this response from literally ten months ago? (Other than this paragraph and the bit near the end, everything here was written back in June. I cannot even begin to tell you why it never got finished but enjoy I guess)
Okay, perfect so let me tell you guys about a little story called Pearchwood Hollow! It was a mystery/horror original story I wrote in 2019 that I repurposed into a Newsies AU. Obligatory "I have a very loose mental roadmap of how this plot goes at best, and nothing but general vibes and random scenes in mind at worst". This AU is an absolute mess and I have no idea how at least 50% of it goes, which is the exact reason it has never seen the light of day. You can read the concept chapter I wrote if you want; it's not that great but it'll help you get an idea of what this is going to be. (Don't bully me for the characters' names I was 16 and thought I was being quirky) It's formatted kinda weirdly because of the application it was originally written on but luckily I saved a copy to my computer after I deleted the original file.
Anyways, the basic idea:
It's a small town au and our main character is Davey Jacobs, an 18-year-old high school graduate/rising college freshman who lives with his parents and brother, is best friends with Charlie Morris-Larkin and Katherine Pulitzer, and was dating Jack Kelly-Larkin for most of high school. Jack and Charlie are brothers and Charlie is older by like four months because I said so. Davey and Jack broke up a few weeks after graduation because they made plans to go to colleges on opposite sides of the country. They're still friends and it's totally not awkward at all. Nope. Besties for life, those two.
Anywho, if you read the chapter I linked, you already know the mystery that's being set up, but just as a little TLDR: the town Davey and the gang live in is completely and totally normal. Really, it is. (this is not me being sarcastic again, it really is just a regular, boring town in middle-of-nowhere New York)
THE TOWN RIGHT NEXT TO THEM, HOWEVER-
It's called Pearchwood Hollow and it seems perfect, almost too perfect. Davey's been there a few times and everyone he met was super friendly and helpful. The lady at the gas station gave him a free candy bar, the mechanic who helped them out when they got stuck on the side of the road taught Davey how to change a flat tire, and the nice old couple who own the local sandwich shop snuck an extra cookie in his bag. It's a perfect town, full of perfect people who live in perfect houses and go to perfect schools and play in perfect parks and have perfect everything lives.
So why does every single person within a 100-mile radius know the exact same rule: Never, under any circumstances, stay in Pearchwood Hollow overnight
Davey liked to think his parents trusted him. He didn't have a curfew because they know he isn't interested in staying out late and getting into trouble. He was allowed to go anywhere in town as long as he gave them a general idea of when he would be home. He had his own job and his parents allowed him to do whatever he wanted with his salary, knowing that he always puts half into his savings account and made sure his phone bill was paid before spending anything on himself.
Yes, Esther and Mayer Jacobs trusted their oldest son, he had never given them any reason not to, after all. But Davey had never in his life gone longer than a week without being strictly reminded "never go to the Hollow".
No one knew where the rule came from, not even the oldest people in town. As far as Davey could tell, the fear of Pearchwood Hollow went back at least six generations and for seemingly no reason. Every once in a while, a couple of local kids would go to the Hollow with the intention of staying the night, but they always chickened out before sunset. No one had ever spent the night except for the people who lived there, all of whom usually laughed off the rumors or seemed genuinely clueless about them.
Davey was curious of course, everyone was, but he figured if so many people were afraid of the Hollow there must be a good reason. He would not be known as the fool who went poking around in places he shouldn't have and ended up becoming the answer to the mystery.
Which brings us to the beginning of the Actual Plot:
The opening scene is Davey packing for college while Les helps him and whines the whole time about being left behind. He's fine, just dramatic. Davey insists that he'll love being the only kid in the house and getting all of their parents' attention. Just in case though, Davey promises to leave his favorite denim jacket for Les to wear while he's gone and Les gives Davey his favorite friendship bracelet that he made at camp.
Anyways, Les has to leave the room for something, and, while Davey's shifting boxes around and trying to figure out how to pack his whole life into one tiny little dorm room, he finds an envelope behind his desk. It's covered in a thin layer of dust, a bit crumpled, still sealed shut, and reads "To Davey" on the front in neat, loopy handwriting.
Of course, he opens it and finds a letter from someone telling him that they've always wanted to know what was wrong with the Hollow. That they couldn't take it anymore and were going to find out what the rumors were about, once and for all. They told Davey they were planning on staying for one hour past sundown and to expect them home before dinner if all went well.
That much was already weird enough, but there were details in the letter than didn't make sense. First of all, there was the fact that Davey doesn't know anyone named "Sarah", and she kept speaking about him, Les, and their parents as if she were close to their family. Extremely close. Then she asked him not to tell Katherine where she'd gone until she got back, again, as if she were close with Davey's best friend. She called him D, an old nickname his family used when he was a little kid. Other small things like that.
Davey is completely and utterly confused, so, naturally, he goes to his two best friends to make them confused with him (one of which is his ex's brother and the other of which is his ex's ex. This is normal.)
Davey, Kath, and Charlie are, individually, incredibly smart individuals, so you would think that between the three of them, they could figure out a reasonable plan of action. However, their first working plan is to just. Go to the Hollow and see what happens. They don't stay overnight, they go during the middle of the day just to see if anything about it has changed since the last time any of them went.
There's a chapter or two of the gang driving around, looking at the old, decrepit town, a far cry from what they all remember. All of the buildings are falling apart and overgrown with plants. The road is full of potholes and cracks and looks as if it hasn't been tended to in decades, maybe even centuries. Davey's pretty sure he doesn't see a single animal in the entire town. It's only been six months since one of them was here, so they have no idea how it looked so bad.
They ask around a bit to try and learn what happened, or even if anyone knows a girl named Sarah, but every person they try to talk to just yells at them to get out before they get "claimed", whatever that means. Even the nice little sandwich shop that Davey remembers has basically crumbled into a giant pile of rubble and the man at the counter glares so harshly as they enter that they turn right around and go back to the car.
It's weird and creepy, nothing like they remember about the Hollow, so they leave a lot sooner than they originally planned. This chapter(s) ends with the three of them encountering Jack on the road out of the Hollow.
He's absolutely furious for a few reasons. First for going to the Hollow without telling anyone (Katherine could have sworn she sent Darcy a text right as they crossed into the town limits). Second for not answering their phones when literally everyone has been trying to find them (Davey couldn't remember his phone going off at all while they were in the Hollow, but when he checks he does in fact have several missed calls and texts from his parents and his friends). Third for turning off their location-sharing so that Medda and Jack couldn't even figure out where Charlie was (Charlie had barely touched his phone all day, but when he pulls it out to prove it, sure enough, his location-sharing is off.) I also think that it's been at least an hour longer than the trio thought, but I'm not sure if they would realize that now.
And so they have no choice but to tell Jack what's going on, to show him the letter and explain their "plan". He understands, he probably would have done the same thing, but he's hurt that they couldn't bother to tell him. He knows that things have been a bit awkward since the breakup but they're still his best friends and Charlie should have had the sense to at least tell his family what he was up to instead of scaring them half to death by practically falling off the face of the earth for four hours.
I have no idea how long this confrontation lasts, but by the end of it everyone has more or less made up, and now Jack is in on the goal to figure out the mystery. I told you there is no plan for this, I barely know what's going on at this point.
Here's the kicker: when Jack asks if they at least learned anything useful on their little field trip, Davey, Kath, and Charlie all say "no". They tell him that everything was just as perfect and idyllic as always, everyone was nice and welcoming and nothing weird was going on. They're not lying. The reader knows all of Davey's thoughts and memories in this moment and, as he recalls them, they are drastically different from what the reader knows to be true.
This is when we discover what the characters won't for a long time: the Hollow affects your memories. As long as you leave before sunset, the memories you made during your time in the Hollow are replaced by new ones. Fake ones. Memories of colorful houses with blossoming front gardens, of cheerful diners and mom-and-pop shops, of friendly townsfolk with genuine smiles and happy lives. Our narrator has forgotten four whole hours of his life and doesn't even realize it. What else don't we know about this story?
Wasn't sure where to add this, but I think something would happen in the Hollow that left a physical mark. Like, the car got scratched, someone skins their knee or gets a small cut on their arm, or someone drops a book in a puddle of water which leaves the ink bleeding and the pages warped. Something physical that can't easily be fixed, but could easily be forgotten for a little while. Jack asks what happened and the trio realizes that none of them knows. It's a big enough mark that they definitely should have noticed as soon as it happened, but none of them did. Or, at least, none of them remember if they did.
Also, at some point, we would meet Finch, Albert, and Spot, three best friends in the grade below our main characters who sometimes just kinda show up and are Also There. If Davey and the gang thought really hard about it, they wouldn't be able to remember where or how they met the three younger kids. And if Finch, Albert, and Spot thought really hard about it, they wouldn't be able to remember where or how they met each other.
Here's where the plot gets a little muddy and I start to lose my grip on the steering wheel. Or maybe my navigation system just shorted out idk it's less of an outline and more of a wishlist after this point:
So our new Buzzfeed Unsolved gang consists of Jack Kelly, his older brother of four months, his ex-girlfriend, and his ex-boyfriend. Someone book them a weekly timeslot on the History Channel.
They eventually decided that the best thing they can do is just research the Hollow and see if they can figure out why there are so many warnings about a seemingly-normal place. They don't find much, people have been searching for answers about the Hollow for over a century and never found anything. Finally, Katherine manages to find one newspaper article from the late 1800s, early 1900s. (It might be a little on-the-nose to say it's from 1899, but that's around the time period, I didn't even do that on purpose). According to the article, there was some kind of tragedy that killed every person in Pearchwood Hollow. I haven't 100% decided what happened, but my top 3 options are: blizzard, massive flood/tropical storm, or mysterious illness. I think I'm leaning towards blizzard just for simplicity's sake, but the illness one would be easy to explain why it didn't affect any of the surrounding towns. It's really not important, all you need to know is that everyone in town died, and the article states that no one has any plans to rebuild or repopulate.
Then the exact same newspaper released another article a week later, talking about a new school opening in Pearchwood Hollow to help with the large population increase over the past few years.
This is when the gang starts to revisit the weird stuff that happened when they went into the Hollow. Their phones seemingly not working, time moving differently, and the physical mark that I mentioned earlier. With this, in addition to the news articles and the letter from Sarah, there's only one logical conclusion to come to: the Hollow affects your memories.
Okay so maybe it's not exactly a logical conclusion and they definitely argue about it for a while, but it's the best explanation anyone has. But if the theory is true, that means there's no way of learning what's going on. Not unless they stay in the Hollow overnight.
Again, I have absolutely how the plot progresses to this, it just Does, alright? So yeah, the gang decides to just stick it out and stay in the Hollow overnight. How do they decide on this? Absolutely no idea but it happens and we're going with it, it's important to the plot.
Now this is really where I have no idea what happens beyond really vague ideas so just bear with me:
The gang goes to the Hollow and it's the same as the last time (the time the reader remembers), the run-down buildings, the horrible roads, the weird townsfolk, everything. Except this time, as soon as the sun sets, it's like a switch flips in everyone's heads and they suddenly remember that this is how Pearchwood Hollow has always been. Every single time, they had had the same awful experience, their memories were just replaced after they left. It's fascinating and terrifying all the same, but they move on to the next part of the plan, which is to find Sarah.
Which they do. Somehow. Don't ask questions, I don't have answers. They find Sarah and, again, a switch flips and suddenly they all remember her. She's Davey's twin sister, Jack's best friend, and Katherine's girlfriend of two years. It's very emotional, very sad, many tears. I'm so good at descriptions.
This is when the pieces all start to fall into place for both the reader and the characters. Sarah left the note for Davey about a week or two before the story started, went into the Hollow, stayed after dark, got trapped, and everyone in the outside world forgot she existed. Every physical and digital trace of her disappeared, except for the letter. As Sarah keeps explaining, they learn dozens, if not hundreds of people get stuck in the Hollow every single year. And then the world just... forgets them. People they knew, people they were friends with, maybe even people they loved. All gone.
Sarah doesn't know why, no one in the Hollow does. They still age and die as normal, so this has been going on for over six generations just like in the outside world. The town is pretty run down after a century of not being able to call for outside help or materials, but they don't really need to sleep or eat or drink like they should, so the lack of safe housing or good food or clean water isn't really a problem. The Hollow is basically a weird little pocket dimension and the people inside are somewhere between dead and alive. They just live out the rest of their lives wandering aimlessly in their odd little prison, making tentative friendships that don't mean all that much, and scaring off any visitors so they don't get trapped as well.
Davey, Katherine, Charlie, and Jack aren't technically stuck yet. They could still leave, but they'd forget everything again. They aren't really trapped until they get "claimed", which, according to Sarah, should be happening any minute so they really needed to get going. They argue this, of course, saying they won't leave without her and she insists that she can't leave, that she's tried and everyone else in Pearchwood has tried, but there's no way out after you get claimed.
They're arguing about this for a few minutes and then they hear a voice calling out from the other room. Asking Sarah who she was talking to. Then the final switch flips and they remember Race. And Davey can't feel any emotion besides horror as the boy freezes in the doorway. This is Jack and Charlie's little brother and, if Davey's memory isn't failing him again, he's been gone for over a year. And all that time, while he was stuck in this horrible limbo, they were just living their lives as if nothing had happened
Okay, so this is where I stopped writing back in June because couldn't think of an ending. We're picking this up about ten months later so apologies if there's any continuity errors after this
For the sake of getting this finished so it doesn't sit in my drafts for another ten months, we're gonna speedrun our way through what is technically the climax of the entire story, just deal with it. In case you haven't noticed I love creating situations for my little guys but I'm so bad at getting them out of said situations
Basically, Pearchwood Hollow is the way that it is because back in 1899, when the whole town was destroyed, there actually was one survivor. It doesn't really matter who it was. Maybe the mayor, maybe a poor farmer, maybe a small child. Who they are isn't important. What's important is that they were scared, lonely, and so very desperate.
Desperation is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. It makes you vulnerable.
They made a deal with something. Maybe they thought it was an angel. Maybe they knew it was a demon. Maybe they didn't care either way.
The demon couldn't bring everyone back, but it could bring others in. It promised that if the person could get people to stay in the town just until sunset, the demon would make sure they were never lonely again. It could give them a community, a family again.
Desperation is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. It makes you vulnerable. It makes you irrational. It prevents you from remembering all the warnings passed down from generation to generation about reading the fine print before accepting a deal from a demon. They never give you what you think you're asking for in the first draft.
At the time of our story, the original person who made the deal is long dead. But the demon will never break its oath, not as long as there are still people in the Hollow.
Demons gain their power from soul sacrifices. Technically, there's a specific ritual a human must complete of their own volition before the demon can stake their claim, but every rule has a loophole. Willingly entering a demon's earthly domain past nightfall despite warnings to keep away? Close enough to a ritual sacrifice for a demon to claim your soul and keep you trapped for the rest of your life.
Anyways, long story short but Davey and Co meet the demon and somehow don't ask questions Davey convinces it to take only his soul in exchange for letting the rest of his friends go, including Sarah and Race. I'm thinking the reasoning is because souls that are willingly sacrificed by someone who fully and completely understands the meaning of said sacrifice are ten times more powerful than souls that are forcibly stolen using a shaky-at-best loophole.
Desperation is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. It makes you vulnerable. It makes you irrational. It makes you impulsive. It tricks you into thinking you've outsmarted your opponent when both of you know the game was over before it even started.
Jack and the others try to talk him out of it. Davey insists that this is the only way and at least most of them should be able to go home. They won't remember him anyways so they won't have to mourn. Before any of the others can try to offer themselves up instead, the demon snaps its fingers and suddenly the reader is sent back to the opening scene.
Davey is in his room packing for college. Sarah comes in to try and steal some of his sweaters to take with her to her own university just two hours away from Davey's. They bicker like all siblings do, like they always have.
They meet Charlie, Katherine, and Jack for lunch at Jacobi's later that day. Sarah greets her girlfriend with a sweet kiss and Davey slips under Jack's arm like it was the only place in the world he belonged. None of them mention the Hollow. The thought of the place doesn't even cross Davey's mind.
Jack leaves early to pick Race up from work, grumbling lightheartedly about how his annoying kid brother should hitch a ride with his friends instead of bugging him all the time. Davey rolls his eyes, knowing his boyfriend is eager to soak up every second left at home with Race before Jack and Davey move across the country to go to college together.
Davey does not find a dusty envelope behind his desk.
Esther and Meyer shed several tears the day they drop Davey and Sarah off at college, mentioning how quiet the house will be with only the two of them living in it
If he thought long and hard about it, Davey wouldn't be able to remember why he left his favorite denim jacket at home.
If anyone asked, Davey wouldn't be able to recall who gave him the handmade friendship bracelet he always had on his wrist.
And if anyone asked, David Jacobs would say he has only one sibling, his twin sister Sarah.
Always read the fine print before making a deal with a demon. They never give you what you think you're asking for.

More stuff about my newsies au prt 4
prt-3
More writing in class haha. I started this at 7:40, lets see how long this takes me.
This ones going to be about the more of a less of a impact Manhattan Newsies + Crutchie's alt
Basil/Crutchie: (He/him) (Crutchie's Alt)
In the more modern stuff, he uses a wheelchair but in this he uses a crutch because crutches are more accessible, you know
Hat backwards ofc
really funny and really smart
doesn't like being touched very much
lots of upper body strength ofc
will fight a guy
5'7
17 years old
fell out of a tree as a kid and his leg never healed right so it hurts when he walks on it too much
has good and bad days too ofc with it
i love this guy
Ezra: (He/doesn't care) (doesn't have an alt yet)
16 years old
only became a newsie when he was 14
went to school before that so he's been to more school than most
is the dedicated "medic" of the Manhattan lodging house
doesn't know much about medical stuff but more than others
knows more, the more people get hurt
very dedicated to his job as the "medic" and if there's a section in the papers about that kind of stuff, will analyze it
Will Lakens: (he/him) (no alt yet)
17 years old
is the other speedy person that Noah makes grab very important stuff (With race)
He's just there kinda
very competitive, but cant play cars like Race can
5'9
he's just been around as newsie since everyone can remember
he just appeared one day nobody knows when
was in the refuge for a couple weeks and refuses to talk about it
Liam Lawrence: (he/him) (no alt yet)
15 years old
5'6
nervous kid
been a newsie since he was 12
suck up a lot
has really bad night terrors from his parents
ran away to become a newsie
his parents live in Manhattan still and and he sees them he has to get away as soon as possible
his parents are pretty rich too
most the newsies understand and believe that he says the newsie life, barely getting by, is better than living with his parents
Finished this one at 11:50, but to be fair, I had to do stuff and it really only took me like half an hour within those 4 hours.
I love the background Manhattan newsie and that I can do whatever I want with them. They're so interesting.
I remembered while writing Liam's that I need to have more of them been in the refuge before, other than Noah, so decided Will was in there. I also realized I wanted there to be at least one newsie who has pretty rich parents but still prefer the newsie life than to interact with his parents, therefore; Liam

I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF OF SPLASHER , ROMEO AND MORRIS MUCKING AROUND AFTER WORK
LIKE ROMEO IS TRYING TO PICK UP GIRLS ON THE STREET WHILE MORRIS WATCHES THE STREET TO MAKE SURE NO BULLS R COMING AS SPLASHER GRAFFITIS A WALL WITH PAINT AND THEN SIGNS THEIR INITIALS S.M.R
MORRIS YANKING ROMEO AWAY FROM A SINGLE GIRL IN A 50 MILE RADIUS WHILE ALSO HAVING TO LISTEN TO SPLASHER AND HIS LITTLE PRANKS FOR THEM TO PULL
BUT MORRIS HAS HIS OWN LITTLE " HOLD ME BACK BEFORE I BLOW. " MOMENTS LIKE HOW MORRIS GETS SO DEEP INTO INFODUMPING WITH SPLASHER N ROMEO , THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE HE DOESNT START SCREAMING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEYLL GET TOLD OFF
LIL MODERN AU THINGY MAJIGGY - ROMEO MAKES SHITTY RAP MUSIC VIDEOS LIKE MISCHA FROM RIDE THE CYCLONE AND GET MORRIS N SPLASHER TO LISTEN TO THEM AND MORRIS AND SPLASHER JUST SHIT IT ON IT SO HARD THAT THEY CANT EVEN GET PAST THEIR 2ND INSULT WITHOUT LAUGHING
- mystery anon
oh i love this SO dang much!! the trio i never knew i needed.
splasher catches morris eyeing the graffiti curiously and eagerly points at each letter of their signature in turn, “this is s for splasher. m for morris. r for romeo.” he knows morris can’t read or write, splasher couldn’t either for a while, but the newsies have all been teaching him. elmer helps teach him maths too. splasher wants morris to learn too, but morris is adamant he’s too stupid. (he’s terrified the newsies, most of whom already just barely put up with him, will stop liking him if they have to do anything to teach him or help take care of him. he doesn’t want to be a burden. he knows that never ends well.)
romeo cuts himself off from his flirting with a passing girl literally mid-sentence because he sees splasher encouraging morris to join him in painting and he refuses to be left out, instead rushing right over to join them. splasher lets morris take and use the makeshift brush he was using - often just a stick - while he and romeo dip their fingers in the paint to smear it on the wall. doodling nonsense, their own names and standard “manhattan best” “eat it jo” “weasel” fare. morris paints a couple clumsy swirls at most before he hands the brush back and goes back to guard duty, adamant that he has to keep a lookout for the two other boys�� sake.
morris also definitely LOVES infodumping to romeo and splasher!!! they’re both so bright and energetic and receptive. splasher in particular loves listening to morris, and loves to imitate morris’ stimming because it’s always fun - bouncing on his heels and swaying and flapping his hands. but he’s also good at helping morris regulate if he’s getting too excited, bouncing and dancing with him to help him burn off some of that restless sort of sizzling energy before he gets too loud or incidentally starts hurting himself. (splasher will quietly sit and hold morris’ hands tight if he’s trying to hit himself, whether he’s upset or just sensory-seeking. often, he’ll squeeze morris’ fists and play-fight with him to try and imitate the same sort of feelings. just throw his whole body at morris and knock him flat on his back while he’s sat on the floor.)
romeo, meanwhile, just sits silent and still and listens to morris’ infodumping while staring at him like he hung the stars.
also, oh my god, modern romeo would so make shitty rap songs. auto tuned to hell and back, 🤖BAaaAAbYYY—🤖 type deal. he posts them on soundcloud, where his artist name absolutely incorporates “romeo” somehow despite the fact that he has still never read nor seen the play. morris fights for his life to not laugh when romeo’s showing them to him, but splasher is shameless with his laughter.
“did you make this song with a microwave?” “we’re you in the microwave? is that why you sound like that?” “some real bold lyrics from a guy whose never got a text back in his life.”
romeo takes their comments as “valuable critique”

sorry i rambled a lot so i'm readmoreing this LMAO
12. Character + Dialogue (Trevor)
“I’m putting up a sign. If your name is Annie Twilloil or Francis Beaumont, fuck off. Rabid cat inside. Or whatever.” Trevor waves a sleepy hand in the air. “Something something I’ll bite you.” (Chapter 2)
13. Talk about your growth from your first fic to now.
oh boy. it's been almost eight years. or maybe it has been eight years. you're sending me back to wattpad, buddy, i don't know if i can forgive that (fully joking).
i started writing my first real fic (for academic purposes we are talking about the first thing i posted, not all my elementary school flights of fancy) in junior high, mostly in spurts on the bus or back and forth on a shitty little usb drive that also carried my schoolwork. i'm pretty sure the main document was password protected and in a folder labeled something totally innocuous because i was thirteen and painfully embarrassed about writing supernatural fanfiction as though anyone else would ever use my memory stick, like, ever. flash forward to today where the writing folder on my laptop is 90% fic and i Do Not Care Anymore! but still with weird titles because that's just how these things go.
(but also shoutout to my first fic, which according to wattpad is still #939 in supernatural fic after alll these years. it's got a little medal next to it and everything. fuck yeah!)
when i read it i see a lot of things that mark a young writer - mostly characterisation issues, things that could be portrayed better, I hadn't gotten the hang of internal monologues yet so it's quite painfully objective (in comparison to my current taste and style). but, like, honestly? not bad. not bad at all. full respect to thirteen-year-old me for sticking through and writing, like, a full 50 thousand word thing without even realising it.
("alright, i did the math and, with various author's notes included because i wasn't going to put any more effort into this than what wattpad gave me, our wordcount for this fic was... 52,385. my third longest fic to date" -from a conversation with a friend a couple months ago, timestamp almost 2am. moral of the story: wattpad give us word counts please)
ANYWAY. aside from the, you know, wattpad stuff, what propelled me forward on that particular fic was both the existence of a full story in my head (and then some. rest in peace to the abandoned sequel) and some pretty cool folks to share it with. not stopping - and, indeed, writing more spn stuff before finally metamorphasis-ing into a theatre kid - was prompted through friends. so. friends are the reason for everything. another reason for everything was my move from wattpad to ao3, which happened somewhere in my move from junior high to high school (very symbolic i know) and subsequently allowed for such things as: greater audience! a comment section! sophistication! all the cool kids use ao3!
and, like, even ao3 era onwards. from 2016's newsies works to now there's like. improvement in plotting and planning! character voice and internal monologue! fun with structure! music! all these funky fresh things that i'm always so excited to work with. i don't even really have words to describe it anymore i just think it's fun as hell. it's just like. i will keep writing and i will keep getting better and these things are perpetual. and in several years with even more work under my belt i will be able to look back at what i've been doing the past couple years and do the exact same thing.
but all my love remains to the password-protected word docs that hold those supernatural fics from an earlier time. some of them saw the light of day and some of them straight up did not. all of them are still in my heart.
18. Share a line from a fic you'll never finish.
("cornley time travel au: is significantly better written, stronger interpersonal relationships, i actually know what i'm doing / supernatural OC apocalypse fic: written when my hubris knew no limits, has demons in the story. oh and em-dashes. i only started using em-dashes in like 2017" -same conversation as above)
remember how i wrote a sequel (threequel) to the lookout mmnis? i was also fully prepared to write a sequel to flat pack attack. rest in peace to flat pack attack: homeworld which will probably never see the light of day. the idea was good and a kid can dream
SAMPSON: You ever heard of… (reading from a page) a tailsman?
DELTA: Is it a talisman you mean?
Sampson squints at the page.
SAMPSON: No, this says tails. Like a monkey.
He sticks a hand near the base of his chair and does a tail approximation.
oh and secondary shoutout to another abandoned newsies au that drew on my experiences with high school theatre tech, aptly named welcome to hell - its namesake was something like:
He catches a glimpse of the whiteboard once again before he leaves. Someone, probably Jack again, has wiped out most of the letters in HOTEL CALIFORNIA - now it just reads WELCOME TO H EL L.
#i didn't want to put it in main post but another one of my favourite trevor lines is just him swearing up a storm#'trevor thunks his head against the nearest tree. 'fuck! bloody fucking shit arse cunt!' <- chapter 1#sorry for the bigass ramble for 13 but if desktop tumblr didn't want it so badly it shouldn't have made 13 bigger than the other numbers#flat pack attack homeworld: in which ben steve gets sucked into the ikea monster dimension#helen steve goes to rescue him with the help of the newest ikea employee nora and her shapeshifter girlfriend#meanwhile sampson is dabbling in necromancy in order to bring HR back from the dead and delta von tassle is ''helping him''#(appearing and disappearing at random points. being catlike and cryptic. telling sampson about his time in vegas with HR)#and colin is on a month long off-the-grid camping trip and is having the time of his life while everything else is utter chaos#THANKS FOR THE ASK I LOVE YOUU

Plymouth Rock: a Newsies 1950s Band AU (Spinoff of New Music)
Summary: A series of one-shots set directly after the events of Act 4, Scene 4-5 and in the brief gap between scenes 5 and 6. Each story will look at the response of one* member of the band and friend group to their expulsion by Pulitzer. Some stories will involve discussions (/arguments) with family, others are simply self-reflection and introspection. Most of them will be fairly short. (Rated K+)
Kid Blink
Cora Higgins
Davey & Sarah Jacobs
Mush Meyers
Jack Kelly
Race Higgins
Spot Conlon
Finch Cortez
JoJo & Cami de la Guerra
Tommy Boy
Elaine & Alan O’Dell
Mike, Ike, Theo, and Conrad
Crutchie Morris
Specs
Romeo DeJesus
Albert Dasilva
Henry Butler & Boots
Buttons Davenport
Elmer, Annia, & Walter Kasprzak
Smalls
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU’RE NOT ALREADY ON THE 50s AU TAG LIST BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE TAG LIST FOR THIS STORY!!! LET ME KNOW VIA COMMENT OR MESSAGE—JUST INTERACTING WITH THIS POST IS NOT A CLEAR INDICATOR!!! Thank you for your cooperation!!!
(Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information about this AU before deciding if you want to be tagged!!! And thank you all so much for your support!!!)
What you need to know going into this story:
* : as you can see from the list up above, not every chapter is just about one person. Most of the characters who have siblings will share their chapter with their siblings, although non-band siblings (i.e. Sarah, Alan, Theo, Conrad, Annia, and Walter) will take a backseat to the chapter, leaving the focus on the band members. These chapters are many of the ones that will be more family-oriented, rather than just introspection. The two exceptions to this are the twins: Elaine and Alan will probably share the spotlight to their chapter, even though Alan isn’t a member of the band; Mike and Ike are both band members, but will be sharing their chapter with each other, while their brothers who were also involved in New Music A4S4 will be background characters for the story. Henry and Boots will also share their chapter and the spotlight in it, since they are siblings in this AU. Additionally, despite being siblings, Race and Cora have separate chapters, as they will have separate introspective looks at A4S4 rather than interacting with family about it.
There are going to be kind of a lot of OCs involved, because basically everyone’s family is entirely constructed of OCs created for New Music purposes. If you’d like to get more familiar with families, check out the New Music holiday stories, which can all be found here in the New Music masterlist, and the New Music family trees I made back in December.
Unlike New Music, these one-shots will not be music-centric/songfics. No music! But check out the New Music masterlist if you want to check out the playlists for it for some ~mood music~.
I am considering posting the whole of New Music and all of the connected stories on Archive of Our Own. Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in seeing done because that will help me make my decision! 😅
At this point, I’m not planning on writing stories for Katherine, Bill, and/or Darcey, but I may at some point, as I’d like to look at Katherine specifically. If you’d be interested in seeing these, please let me know! It’ll give me more motivation to write them 😂
Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies or anything you may recognize from any of its forms. I do not own Cora Higgins—she belongs to @the-cowbi , and I’m super grateful to Mouse for letting me borrow her! I do own this story, Elaine and all other OCs, and anything you don’t recognize from other sources.
Find the New Music Preface/Masterlist here. (A4S5 will be linked as “previous chapter” to Blink’s one-shot, and A4S6 will be linked as “next chapter” to Smalls’s one-shot for seamless navigation between New Music and Plymouth Rock)
Banner made in Procreate. All images from Google. Please let me know if they belong to you and you’d like them removed/credited!!!

Au Time :)
AU where Charlie Conway has a twin sister
Here is how that would go
The two were born hours apart from each other
When Charlies mom and him left, they left his sister with their dad
Years later they find each other on opposite hockey teams (Charlie’s on District 5’s team [soon to be known as the Ducks] while his sister is on the Hawks with Adam Banks)
Adam Banks and Charlie’s sister both live in the new District 5 boundaries so they both got transferred over to the Ducks, but while Adam’s dad fought to try and keep Adam on the Hawks, Charlie’s dad thought it’d be good for him and his sister to be on the same team
Ducks won the 1992 PeeWee Championships and were chosen to represent Team USA in the 1993 Jr Goodwill Olympics along with 5 other top-notch hockey players around the country.
Team USA is falling apart so Charlie’s sister calls up Hans & Jan to explain the corruption of Coach Bombay. Hans is back at home in a different country so Jan takes charge and gives Bombay the ‘be the man’ speech.
Jan also brings them the Jerseys that Charlie’s sister has been secretely designing during any free-time she has (whether it be whe she’s benched, during school time or on the bus)
Charlie’s sister definitely gets together with Dean Portman, don’t ask why she just does
After the Ducks won the Jr Goodwill Olympics, Eden Prepatory School offers the entire Ducks team a full ride scholarship
The Ducks screw around before tryouts and get caught by the serious Coach Orion. They try out for either JV or Varsity (which never made sense they won a peewee championship against the undefeated Hawks and they beat the everloving s**t out of Iceland so I dunno why tf they had to tryout for something they were given scholarships for)
Banks and Charlie’s sister make it onto Varsity while everyone else is stuck on JV (to me this makes it more reasonable but less gay for Charlie to hate the Varsity squad)
Charlies sister goes to the fancy dinner with Varsity and JV. She pickpockets one of the rich kids wallets and after they leave she tells them to leave without her since she has to “use the little ladies room”. She doesn’t do that (obviously) she instead goes back to pay for the meals using the rich boys money to show that she does indeed care more about the family the Ducks gave her more than she cares about hockey
Charlie’s sister and Adam transfer over to the JV team to beat the crap out of Varsity at the impromptu JV .vs. Varsity game. This is also around the time Dean arrives to Eden Prep and she breaks their cover bc she missed him so much she showered him with kisses. (They wanted to keep their relationship on the down-low for a while so it wouldn’t be weird that there are two couples on the team and Charlies sister didn’t want Charlie to get upset)
They beat the crap out of Varsity.
Years later they return to Minnesota (Charlies sister is married to Dean, living in Sedona Arizona, they have infant quintuplets and they constantly want death but they think it’s worth it).
They give tips and pointers to the Don’t Bothers so they can win the Mighty Duck title back and restore it to it’s former underdog glory.
Okay the end ;)
#holy s**t that was a lot for me#my adhd looking a** finally did something productive with a headcanon#woah...yey:)#but really though wth is my problem?#like...I typed this all up in maybe 45-50 minutes#and I cant even get started on a crossover AU smh#mighty ducks#mighty ducks game changers#adam banks#AU#charlie conway#headcanon#hockey#disney#disney+#please disney don’t sue me I love you#Coach Gordon Bombay#oh and this isn’t Newsies related I’m sowwy#oh and also Happy Birthday to my king Aaron Lohr#aaron lohr#dean portman

More Jacobi’s diner hcs?
YES!! (Thank you ily)
-Kathrine first discovers the diner when Darcy and bill are like “we gotta take you to this diner in the bad side of town. There’s good food and there’s this one really cute waiter named jack” and kath is like sure why not
-like previously mentioned kath is the only person in the whole world who can resist Jack’s charm
-anyways kath now goes to the diner all the time and just sits in a booth and writes and all the newsies love her
-The Brooklyn newsies live in the next town over but after their Sports Practies they all carpool over to the diner and cause a ruckus (I love them)
-they have weekly specials at the diner and jack always decorates the specials menu
-unrelated to the actual diner but Davey can play like any instrument and jack finds out about this after work when he’s hanging out with Davey and is just IN LOVE with the music that Davey plays
-sniper’s dad still has a laundry place above the diner so Sniper works with their dad but always hangs out around the diner
To be continued...again. Also thanks to @hotshot-deserves-more-love for the original prompt of a newsies 50’s diner AU!

if we were a movie | j.jh
for @nctsworld’s first writing challenge
SYNOPSIS. For someone who was always the understudy and never the lead, scoring this role was huge for you. All you had to do was pretend to be in love with your best friend. No big deal, right? Wrong. It was the biggest deal because, for the past four years, you had been hiding your feelings for Jung Jaehyun.
If this were a movie, he would be your perfect match and the story would end happily with the credits rolling to a perfectly timed soundtrack. Too bad this wasn’t a movie— this was real life and life came with complications.
GENRE. childhood friends to lovers!au, college!au, drama school!au, slow burn, angst, humor, mutual pining, fluff (loosely based on the Filipino rom-com Must Be Love and If We Were a Movie by Hannah Montana) PAIRING. theatre major!Jaehyun x theatre major!reader WORD COUNT. 14+ k
WARNINGS. point of view switches from first (”I”) to second (”you”); self-doubt, insecurities, mutual pining, cursing, lots of references and direct quotes from musicals such as Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Disney’s Newsies, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Shrek the Musical, and Wicked (edited but i might’ve missed some mistakes; bare with me!)

But if that’s all that mattered, then why were you throwing up Jaehyun’s favorite flowers?
GENRE. college!au, established relationship!au, hanahaki!au, soulmate!au, angst, fluff WORD COUNT. 13.5+k PAIRING. physical therapy major!jung jaehyun x (female) english major!reader

GOING FOR THE GOLD | JH.S
SYNOPSIS. 10,305 individual athletes participating in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games. 10,305 frustrated athletes trapped inside the bubble they called the Olympic Village with no means of leaving the grounds or releasing their pent up stress. Amongst the almost indestructible cardboard beds that were rumored to prevent athlete contact and the condom supply they supposedly cannot use, the message the Olympic organizers tried to send were mixed. Many athletes saw this as a challenge, one athlete being Team Korea’s one and only, John Suh. The famed swimmer was ready and willing to take on this challenge but he couldn’t do it alone. He needed a partner for it and you—best friend, fellow teammate, and competitive swimmer—were the perfect match.

FMA Big Bang 2021
Extra, Extra! FMA Big Bang 2021 releases new fanfic and art on October 3rd!
This year I had the honor of writing a story for the FMA 2021 Big Bang project! It was a blast. Thank beta reader @alchembee for making it readable. The art by @wombywoo and @cookiekappaart is fantastic. Check it out, tell them how amazing it looks on October 3rd!
Here’s a snippet from the FMA Newsies AU, Extra! Extra! by Pen_n_Notebook on AO3 (royaidaydreams on Tumblr)
Snippet:
“I’m the Colonel and this heart breaker is Loverboy,” Roy introduced, still trying to pry conversation from the newest newsie. “And you are?”
“A normal person with a real name,” the kid deadpanned. He leaned against the wall to relieve weight off his good leg and looked up at the older boys. “What’s your deal? What do you guys want from me?”
Roy admired the kid’s fearless nature. And his ability to get straight to the point.
Maes opened his mouth to speak, but Roy beat him to the punch. “Sell with us.”
The line of newsies continued to inch forward as the boys and girls ahead of them bought their newspapers. Most left immediately after. The headlines they shouted faded into the hustle and bustle of the city. More than a few gathered at the bottom of the distribution center’s loading dock to chat as they waited to learn about the pair’s interest in the newest newsie.
Instantly suspicious, the kid’s golden eyes narrowed. “What, why?”
“Because,” Roy started, “you’re clearly new to the gig, bright eyed, bushy tailed, and full of potential. With that crutch, your bum leg and arm, and what I’m sure is a thrilling sob story, people are going to throw coins at you. It’s easy selling if you can keep your mouth in check. Stick with us and I’ll show you the ropes, make sure you get your money’s worth out of that leg and no one takes advantage of you. What do you say?”
It was a good offer. The blonde haired boy seemed to mull it over. At the very least, he didn’t object outright. The promise of money was too good.
But the kid was no idiot.
“What about you?” he asked in all seriousness, looking between Roy and Maes until his eyes landed squarely on the Colonel.” What’s to stop you from taking advantage of me?”
Roy grinned. “You’ll know when I’m taking advantage of you. I’m not going to hide it.” He shrugged and left it at that. No need to convince this kid of his non-existent sainthood.
“If I sell with you I want a 50-50 split.”
Maes laughed at the audacity. No way. That’s not how this worked.
“60-40,” Roy countered. “Who do you think you’re kidding? I’m going to teach you everything I know. Even split afterward when you know what you’re doing.”
The braided boy nodded, accepting the deal as the line in front of them pushed forward again. Roy spit into the palm of his hand. He thrust it forward for a handshake, but the kid pulled back, looking at Roy as if he had lost his mind.
“That’s disgusting.”
“That’s tradition,” Maes explained as they shuffled forward.
Roy reminded him, “You want to be a newsie, you gotta act like a newsie.”
“But we can settle for a name this time,” Maes suggested diplomatically. “What should we call you?”
“I’m Ed,” the kid said, relieved. “Edward Elric, but you can call me Ed.” He paused. ”Do I really have to call you Loverboy?”
“It’s just a nickname. You’ll find most of the newsies use one. But my mother called me Maes, Maes Hughes.”
“Funny,” Roy said, wiping his hand on his pants to dry it. “My mother just called me a bastard.”
“If the name fits...” Ed muttered.
