#newsies aladdin au anyone?

[make-friends-with-the-rats]

The breeze picked up when he was halfway across. Finding the temptation irresistible, David glanced down. He had no idea he was up so high! The carriages looked like toys and the people no bigger than ants. He felt dizzy and began to stagger. "Look at me," Jack ordered. David looked ahead to the next building, where Jack stood, holding out his hand. "Just a few more steps," Jack said softly, urging him on.

-Newsies, Jonathan Fast

(Reference under the cut)

Fun fact! Newsies and Aladdin both came out in 1992, Newsies on April 10 and Aladdin on November 11.

So Jack Kelly was Aladdin before Aladdin???

(The novel was published January 1, 1992)

Please chat with me

Ok, so I'm getting a stem cell transplant this month, and will be spending about three weeks in the hospital, just kinda feeling crappy.

So that I don't lose it, I'd love some stimulation. If anyone wants to send me questions/tag games/thoughts and feelings/whatever you want, I will love you forever. Ask me about my AUs, ask me about my characters, ask me about my life. I crave stimulation and will answer just about anything I can.

Love y'all 💜

(I'll put a list of some AUs that I've got under the cut for reference)

Batfam

Reverse Robins (My baby. Longtime running. Red Hood Tim & Street Kiddo Jason centric, but there's info on most of the family)

The Dragon AU (See this post. Also my baby. The one I've actually written a fair bit of)

Vampires!

Tangled AU (Platonically with Jason & Tim)

Newsies

Modern AU (Lemme tell you what I think these assholes are up to. I could discuss for days)

D&D-ish AU (I've got a whole colour coded list of these fellas, most of them have full backstories. Still need help filling in some gaps.)

Organized Crime/Some kind of Dystopian Bullshit AU (Old one. Still fond of it.)

Aladdin AU (Not that developed, but let me tell you, they FIT, bro.)

Honestly, I have a bunch of others that I can't think of for both, if you want to give me a random concept and a fandom, I bet I could either A) Give you an existing AU or B) Make something up on the spot. Hit me.

Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of?

CAN I DO A COUPLE BECAUSE I’M GONNA DO A COUPLE

“In Case You Don’t Life Forever” by Ben Platt: Hades and @dcjelliclequeen33‘s OC Sekhmet in the Human AU singing about their mothers.

Achilles, by Gang of Youths: Macavity, specifically Human AU Macavity. Every time this song comes on my playlist, I always think of Mac, and how the poor boy in the Human AU just really needs a hug, honestly.

Recipe for Me, by Thomas Sanders: @queen-with-the-quill‘s OC, Jubilee, because i can 100% see Jubilee with this song, because she’s got all sorts of wonderful parts to her, and NO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I DIDN’T GIVE HER THE ONE THOMAS SANDERS SONG ON PURPOSE SHUSH

Ballerina, by Jeremy Shada: Tuggoffelees, Platoria, and/or Tumbletta, because it’s such a gosh-darn cute song, and it makes me so soft, and omg the little dance that Jeremy does at the end of the video is 100% a Tumblebrutus moment (like i said, I think those two would be newer face claims for Tumblebrutus and Hestia, along with the ones I originally had)

Friends Don’t, by Maddie and Tae: Tumbletta, because a song about friends falling in love and pining for each other = Tumbletta. I heard this song and now I can’t think of anyone else when I hear it.

I Thought I Lost You, by Miley Cyrus: Tumbletta in the Human AU, because after I finished their short and listened to the song I realized that it fits like a glove for the two of them.

Don’t Take The Girl, by Tim McGraw: The Deuteronomy Brothers and their girls, of course. And now I’m going to go reread my own story and cry. 

Something to Believe In, from Newsies: Tuggoffelees, obviously, and I’m so excited to write that scene for the Newsies AU, because it’s going to be cute, and wonderful, since it’s one of my favorite scenes from the actual musical.

She Used To Be Mine, from Waitress: Demeter, because I enjoy making myself cry.

Happy/Sad, from the Addams Family: Old Deuteronomy, again, because I enjoy making myself cry.

Proud of Your Boy, from Aladdin: @dcjelliclequeen33′s OC, Ares and my OC Apollo in the Human AU, and again, I’m going to go and *sob* over that now, goodbye. Just... Ares and Apollo singing to their moms and making promises that they’ll be good sons and make their moms proud of them??? Bye

Accidentally in Love, by Counting Crows: Tugger, Mistoffelees, and Serafina in the Human AU. It’s FINE i’m FINE with the three of them just accidentally falling in love, and it takes away the angst part of it for a little while, and I’m just so soft thinking about them dancing around the kitchen.

A very self indulgent series of tpn musicals headcanons

AU where at some point at Grace Field they had the chance to listen to Broadway musicals or something. Maybe the music room at Grace Field also has the scripts of various musicals, or maybe the House is the only place in the universe to have original official recordings at its disposal.

(Unless otherwise specified, these are based on the children before they found out about the secret of the orphanage)

•Emma likes those musicals about struggling but with an always happy ending, and her absolute favourite is Matilda: she really enjoys listening to its many funny songs, and holds dear the "growing up" theme. She loves how diverse, various and big this cast of children is, and she has lots of fun associating each of her siblings with one of the many characters. She also really loves thinking about the magic in it, and wonders what she and her siblings would do with telekinesis. Additionally, Miss Honey's kindness remembers her of Mama. (And when you think about it, "When I Grow Up" makes such a good foreshadowing)

•Norman is not very into musicals; thinking about GF Norman, he would probably just love a few specific songs, mostly romantic ones, such as "Helpless" and "No One Else" I adore this romantic aspect of his I have a big soft spot for it.

After having taken on the role of Minerva he would bittersweet laugh thinking about how much he relates to "Non-stop" (you know, as in "working the hell out of you because you want the best for your family to the point you end up hurting your family itself") and how evil he has become (That's because he doesn't like Alexander. Nobody at GF likes Alexander. You know, betraying your family and stuff.)

•Ray has never told anyone, but he adores Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. He listens to Dust and Ashes like it's a spiritual experience. He's just so sensitive to the whole theme of redemption and the "finally starting to live" thing. He's also really captured by how different the musical is from any other, how particular, extravagant, but ultimately beautiful under every aspect it is.

Even if very different, he would also really enjoy listening to Waitress: he likes how sassy, raw and uncensored Jenna is, and how harshly the musical depicts the cruelty and unfairness of the world she lives in. But the thing he likes the most is the whole concept of escaping from an abusive situation and finally being able to build happiness for yourself. (A very subconscious part of him likes Waitress because he associates the protagonist with Isabella: the story is ultimately about a mother who loves her child very much, and who succeedes in overcoming her abusive relationship for her child and because of her child; that's probably something Ray really longed for in his days at GF, even if not realizing it himself.)

•Gilda is fond of Wicked. She just loves this story about the friendship between two amazing witches that are so different one another but still love each other to the end of the earth, and were able to destroy all the boundaries. Each and every time she listens to "For Good" she starts ugly crying, no matter that's the thousand time she's hearing it. She also adores all the costumes from Wicked, and could spend hours talking about how great every little detail in them is. By the way, even if she would never admit it, she really likes the assonance between her name and Glinda's!

(Oh, Gilda would probably enjoy The Prom too, wouldn't she??)

•Don likes Newsies. He finds the coreography with all the acrobaties so fun to look at and has spent a fair amount of time trying to imitate it. But he also loves how exciting and powerful the musical's themes are, with its plot that revolves around a strike, the concept of a fight to end the exploitation of children and so on. Also, I can totally see him singing "Santa Fe" somewhen after they escaped. He's a dreamer.

•Anna loves Anastasia! She really enjoys the relaxing and emotional music, and she likes to plunge in this calming feeling brought by how nostalgic it sounds. She also really enjoys how the story gives an insight into far, romantic and exotic places such as Petersburg and Paris.

•Nat would probably like The Phantom of the Opera, wouldn't he? (I've never listened to that musical, but with its Opera centered plot and enigmatic atmosphere it just feels right?)

•Thoma and Lani like these newest musicals that bring a new take to classics, such as The Lion King, The Lightning Thief and so on; Aladdin would be their favourite, with all its amazing special effects and cheerful songs.

•Of course, Phil would love listening to Matilda together with Emma.

•Isabella tells everyone that she doesn't like the genre (all that singing probably reminds her of Leslie), but has definitely cried to "I Dreamed A Dream" more than once when nobody was around. I could write an essay on how that song is /perfect/ for her and probably will at some point

•Krone rocks Six. She's especially into No Way. For real go check out that song it looks like it has been written appositely after her.

Other things:

•Little Emma and Norman singing the first verses of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" to Ray when he's all by himself to try and convince him to play with them. It doesn't work most of the time, but one day Ray unknowingly let out a "go away you two" in perfect timing with the song making the other two suddenly get so excited they burst into laughter; it was a joy for everyone to witness.

•Emma, Don, Phil, Thoma and Lani have attempted to reenact "Revolting Children" in the testing room at some point. (Isabella didn't allow it, obviously. But she did say “I love your enthusiasm thought”, and that was something.)

•Ray and Norman have this silent agreement to never let Emma see nor listen Les Misérables. They just want to protect her from seeing such an heartbreaking, dramatic story that involves losing all of your family/comrades.

•Emma has a very deep loathing for Hadestown ("What? She leaves him behind???? Her family??????????? How could she???????????????? It can't be!!!!!!")

•Thoma and Lani have totally tried (and succeeded) doing this at some point

Uhm uhm I will definitely continue this so stay tuned for more I guess

Newsies modern!theatre!AU, anyone??? (I had to fudge in a few more sentences for it to make sense, but it’s 6-ish...)

.*.*.*.*.*.

On the back wall was a wide half-white, half-cork board; on the whiteboard side was scrawled, in faded green and red dry-erase marker,

DEFINITIVE LIST OF THE TOP 10 DISNEY ANIMATED MOVIES EVER:

Tangled The Lion King

Aladdin

Great Mouse Detective

Moana

Mulan

Sword in the Stone

Black Cauldron

Robin Hood (should be #2 but whatever)

Cinderella II

Lion King 1 ½

There were also several notes and arrows drawn on the board, seemingly trying to correct whoever had initially written it, but Jack and Crutchie didn’t have time to take those in—in fact, they barely had time to take in anything else, because as soon as they rounded the corner created by the lockers, they were met by a deafening cheer of “ELAINE!”

Elaine jumped, nearly dropping her container of quinoa-spaghetti, and yelped. “Dear lord, boys, don’t scare me like that!”

“Look, we fixed your list!” a voice laughed.

“You didn’t fix it, you made it wrong!” Elaine cried. “The Lion King SUCKS, and is definitely not the best animated Disney movie ever!”

The room immediately dissolved into chaos, each of the dozen occupants yelling over one another, mostly about the movies they felt should be on the list. Elaine set her food down on the nearest table and waved her arms. “Everyone, SHUT UP!”

The room slowly quieted, the shouting replaced largely by laughter.

“Come on, boys, we have to make a good impression on the new guys!” Elaine yelled over the continuing noise. That shut the boys up, and they turned their attention to Elaine. “Thank you!” She grabbed Jack’s arm and pulled him forward. “Everyone, meet Jack Kelly, and that’s Crutchie…”
