#ralbert headcannons

[metallicmikus]

don't be shy what are your ralbert headcanons 👀

oh my god where do i even begin 😭😭😭 i’m like THE ralbert blog on tumblr !!!! i’m insane about them i need to formulate my thoughts

- albert hates physical touch unless is race

- albert’s love language is quality time

- race’s is physical touch/words of affirmation

- cannon era these mfs cuddle in the winter cuz race gets cold and albert is warm

- t4t !!!!!

- modern race lives in albert’s hoodies and he doesn’t even remember that they were originally albert’s

- albert’s been in love with race since they were kids

- best friends to lovers

- in modern they grew up in the same apartment complex

- albert gets jealous easily, not like crazy jealous, but he gets jealous. he hates it. if someone is flirting or talking with race, albert will make himself known like hugging race from behind and burying his face in his neck.

- asexual albert and hyper sexual race, but it works

- race hates when people call him Antonio (even tho his ass picked out the name), except albert ofc

- pet names albert uses for race: babe, baby, hun, darling (when he’s feeling fancy) but he also whips out the italian pet names like caro (dear), tesoro (darling). He also calls him Toni, Tonio, and Anton.

- pet names race uses for albert: al, albie (classic), baby, babes, red, freckles. he also loves to call him the most wack shit sometimes, like he will call him whore endearingly.

- modern race will double, triple, quadruple text albert, spam text him until he responds and he’ll just tell him random facts about what he’s fixated on

- a lot of y’all say they can’t cook, LIES they’re italian new yorkers, they can both cook (race is better). and the love to cook together when they can.

- race is a dancer and albert is a musician

- they hyphenate their last names when they get married

- i hc albert’s bday as halloween, so they go on dates to like haunted houses and shit

- they’re not super keen on pda, minus some hand holding and little kisses

- they have matching bracelets

- they give each other their t-shots 🫶🏻

- race begs albert to send him photos of him like flexing whenever he goes to the gym and when he doesn’t he’s like giggling and kicking his feet

- albert is very clingy to race when he’s drunk

- race likes to be the big spoon cuz he needs to hold stuff while he’s sleeping, UNLESS he’s cold or in a mood and needs to be held

- modern ralbert would definitely have a few kids and be those like punk dads (i hc albert as goth but he dresses basically like sky dresses and that race is a bit punk)

- race bites to show affection /nsx

i’m so insane about these two it’s not even funny

[theres-no-escaping-us-pal]

the main reason I don’t ship livesies Sprace or Ralbert is cause I headcannon both Spot and Albert as aroace and no one can convince me otherwise

[loiteringandlurking]

hi !

this is so random but can you write abt ralbert?? like literally anything ralbert, i need more fuel for headcannons :3

RALBERT!!!!!! I LOVE RALBERT!!!!!!!

teehee I wrote this in a moment of yearning, sorry it's so short :(

'Albert, seriously.' Race sounds exasperated, holding Albert's left hand gingerly with his own, holding a torn up shirt in the other.

'I'm sorry, okay?' Albert mumbles over his shoulder, away from Race. 'You don't have to wrap my hands.' He sucks in a breath as coarse fabric tightens against his bloodied knuckles.

'You don't have to get in fights protecting people who don't need protecting.' Race glances up at Albert under his cap, eyes hard and cold.

Albert stares back, trying to give his coldest look. But he winces when Race turns his hand over, so his knuckles are resting on Race's warm palm. The sensation hurts, but it's welcome. Race ties the fabric around Albert's wrist, and gently puts his hand down, picking up the other one, dripping blood on Albert's shorts.

'But he called you bad things.' Albert says quietly, scrunching his left hand up. 'He called Jack bad things. He called the newsies bad things.'

'That doesn't mean you should beat him up.' Race says sharply, pulling the fabric a little too taut around Albert's knuckles. 'We can protect ourselves.'

Albert looks away. 'But I care. About you and Jack and the newsies. How else am I meant to show that I care?'

Race ties the fabric around Albert's hand, finishing the wrap. He puts his other hand on top of Albert's, like a sandwich. 'You feel this, Albert? You feel my hands, and how warm they are? That means I care. Soft touches mean you care, not hurting ones.'

Albert bites his lip. Soft touches. When was the last time Albert felt a soft touch?

Race puts his hand up to Albert's cheek, rubs his thumb over the bump of an old scar. 'Soft touches mean I love you, Albert. Soft touches mean I love you no matter what you do or what happens.' He chuckles a little. 'That doesn't mean I condone you beating up Oscar Delancey for almost no reason.'

Albert smiles softly, before wrapping Race in a tight hug.

It feels nice.

Albert hasn't hugged or been hugged in probably years. He feels his insides melt with comfort as Race reciprocated the hug, rubbing Albert's back and tightening his grip around Albert's middle.

Soft touches mean I love you.

[feech]

Ralbert headcannons

I'm doing a ralbert rp at the mo and so I've been thinking about these (even though I'm usually a sprace kind of gal).

Albert likes to read and easily gets lost in books. He will completely block out the world around him. Race takes it upon himself to balance the most ridiculous objects on him when he's like this until either he realizes, or the objects fall over snapping him out of the trance-like state.

Once Race managed to balance a fry pan on Al's head.

Sometimes they have insult wars. Basically they go back and forth insulting each other until one of them runs out of comebacks. It's all in jest and no comebacks can be reused in the same game or else it's an automatic loss.

Race is always clingy

Albert loves playing with Race's hair and pulling on the curls gently to watch them bounce back into shape (also because it's really soft).

Albert is a cat person.

Race is a dog person.

Neither can handle that much responsibility.

They comprised and got a goldfish.

Albert pretty much lives on energy drinks which makes Race jealous because he's been basically forbidden from touching caffeine (by everyone he knows). This leads to Race kissing Albert more than usual if he's been drinking one. Albert rolls his eyes at this behaviour but secretly loves it and finds it hilarious.

Race steals Al's muscle shirts only to pretty much freeze later on and complain about it. He refuses to listen to Albert's solution of not stealing his clothing.

They have the same shoe size so they share their (LARGE) collection of sneakers and honestly couldn't tell you whose shoes were whose before they started dating.

They also have a huge combined hat collection. Its mostly snapbacks but there are a few random silly ones for parties and things.

Neither one of them knows where the blow up flamingo hat came from but they wouldn't part with it to save their lives.

Albert likes to smack the brim of whatever hat Race is wearing so that it falls off.

Sometimes they play Frisbee with their hats.

Race leaves sticky notes on the fridge with random reminders, lists, and notes. Usually they make no sense but every now and then it's a cute little note for Albert. Sometimes they're written in Italian, especially if he's stressed.

We all know Race is a good cook, but Albert is decent too because of all the time he spends with Race. They share cooking duty and rarely ever eat out.

They used to host Monopoly game nights for everyone at their place but it nearly destroyed relationships and friendships enough times that everyone agreed to stop.

Albert is bomb at Scrabble and the only person he hasn't beat is Davey. Race denies this because he's terrible at Scrabble and gets beaten badly everytime they play.

Race draws patterns on Albert's arms when he's gets nervous.

Albert has gotten a few of the designs tattooed because he liked them so much.

Albert used to take piano lessons when he was a kid and keeps a piano app on his phone to occasionally tap out random melodies.

Race will sometimes start dancing to these melodies. It could be anything from ballet, to hip hop, to a one person attempt at swing, Al never knows until he starts.

They both enjoy slow dancing with each other. Race always leads.

They each have a section in the fridge reserved for their portion of dessert. Stealing from the other person's dessert section is a surefire way to start an argument.

So instead, Albert tends to steal bites of Race's dessert from off of his plate.

They like to stretch out and sit in each other's laps while they play videogames.

They've never made it all the way through a rom com together without falling asleep or having to take it to the bedroom.

However, they will sit and do Star Wars marathons together for hours.

Do not interrupt their Star Wars marathon if you want to live to see the next day.

That's all I've got for now, but I may post more if anyone is interested. Also feel free to send me some of your own, expand on mine, or tell me why you disagree with any of them! If you use any of them as a prompt for a fanfic please tag me so I can find it and read it!!!

Ralbert Musician Au - Part 2

After quite a while, here is PART 2 of my Ralbert musician au. Again, special thanks to @tarantulas4davey and the newsies discord, this truly wouldn't be possible without your amazing amazing brains (especially this part). So, strap in and enjoy!

Cw/ Homophobia

Here's part one!

- so when Albert DOES get comfortable being public with his music, he gets decently big (ig big enough to have a record label offer a deal)

- he takes the record deal mostly bc of Race convincing him & starts making music and is pretty happy for the most part

- a bump in the road arises when the label wants Albert to change the pronouns in his songs (which might I remind you are mostly about Race) to be more "palatable"

- Albert is kinda pissed but does it anyway bc it's his chance to make music and that's what he wants to do, so he goes along

- however, this doesn't stop him from signing the correct pronouns in live performances

- the record label and Albert have a very strained relationship but Albert listens to them because, again, a chance to make it big.

- this goes on until one day Albert overhears them talking shit about Race

- and he just. Snaps

- they can push Albert around all they want but the second they go after his boyfriend he's over it.

- so, he quits the record deal.

- obviously, it's not that simple, he still has a contract to follow and isn't fully done, but he basically makes a decision that the second his contract expires, he's done with the record deal

- and he goes home and tells Race.

- to his surprise, Race tells him he needs to go get his job back because he's not going to be the reason Albert gives up on his dreams, no matter how badly they talk about Race.

- Albert, in response, basically goes hell no, because the only thing more important to him than music was Race, and he wasn't going to sit aside while his label badmouthed his boyfriend.

- so he eventually gets out of the record deal, and he's basically back to square one.

- after MUCH much convincing, Race gets Albert to just take back his songs once he's able to because the music is ALBERT'S and he gets to put it out how he wants to.

- so that's what he does

- he pulls a Taylor Swift and rerecords his songs (once he's able to) and he records them how he wants to, pronouns and all.

---

Hey! So I am. So excited about this au. If you have anymore headcanons I love to see your asks! That's it for now, until next time.

[krustywhore]

why race and albert are fucking assholes and no one will ever be as iconic as this duo

so i was working on some actual requests when my friend sent me this house hunters meme and i had the best idea i’ve ever had in my entire life so here you go, i regret nothing

so (modern) race and albert have this tradition

i don’t care if you interpret this romantically or platonically, but it’s canon either way

so because they both work in the theater/dance/etc industry, they go to a lot of mixers and events to meet a lot of people

but they’ve also been best friends since they were about eight so that pretty much means they’re down to just fuck with anyone at any time

so they bring back a game they invented a few years into college when they were looking at apartments to move into together

basically they do this thing where they introduce themselves and each other to people that don’t know who they are and make up the most ridiculous jobs that they can possibly think of and convince the person that, yes, that is definitely what they do for a living

it’s like those memes about the show house hunters

but these real-life professional idiots do it to people they work with

for example;

race: hello, this is my friend albert, he’s a freelance hamster trainer

fancy stranger: for...for this musical?

albert: obviously, how else would they train the hamsters for the show? 

race: it’s very important. they’re hard to spot, but you’re really missing out on a fantastic part of the show if you miss it.

or one time at a mixer for albert’s choreography studio

albert: hello susan, i don’t believe you’ve met my friend tony, he’s been giving slide whistle lessons here since i first opened

dance mom susan: slide...whistles? at a dance studio?

race: obviously, they write all their own music here. who else is going to teach the in-house band to play the slide whistle?

albert: it’s very difficult, susan, he’s been teaching them for almost four years now

and who could forget the mingling at jack and davey’s wedding? what better time to pull pranks than as groomsmen trying to ruin good impressions with the new inlaws

race: hi, yes, i’m the brother of the groom, jack. my name’s antonio, nice to meet you.

great grandma jacobs: nice to meet you, dearie! my, you’re in great shape, what do you do for a living?

albert: oh, he sells hand-woven shoelaces on etsy. it’s quite the arm workout.

race: thank you for noticing! i just started using these new patterns and they’re quite exhausting!

great grandma jacobs: oh my...well...that’s just great darling, i should, uh, probably get going now! 

but at the end of the night,,that’s when the stories really get wild. here’s some things drunk race and albert have gotten away with claiming to do for a living:

race:

stay-at-home astronaut

professional fish therapist

glues leave to trees in the spring for a living

door-to-door pet stiletto salesman

vintage water curator

albert: 

freelance rock climber

sells umbrella insurance from home

makes monogrammed sunglass cases on ebay

part-time harmonica tuner

vegan soap tester

it’s safe to say there are about a dozen people in the entire world that actually know what race and albert do for a living

none of their friends are included in that dozen

[theys-a-joke]

Ralbert Headcannons

Heyo everyone! Guess who found some motivation to write! It was me. So I’m posting these headcannons first because they were pretty easy to knock out, but to those other 2 people who requested fics, they’re on their way. This has given me some motivation and I’m super sorry for the long wait. Anyway, here are some headcannons!

Request: Can you do a race x Albert fic or some headcannons pls??

Warning(s): Violence mention

So Race and Albert are pretty good friends

But they both kinda like each other though don’t tell each other

So they’re both stewing with these feelings

And don’t quite know what to do with said feelings

They’re both in love with their best friend

And both come to their conclusion that avoiding each other is the best plan

But the thing is

With them separated one of them ends up walking alone with their thoughts

It’s probably Albert

But he actually isn’t alone

He comes across the Delancey’s

Who are ALWAYS looking for a fight with the Newsies 

And Albert, too lost in thought runs into them

He’s startled a bit which gives the Delancey’s an advantage

So they beat him up

While this happens back at the lodging house Race notices Albert is late

Not like he cared or anything

But he kinda did

So as soon as Albert manages to stumble through the doorway Race jumps out of his seat

He runs over and helps Albert

Albert tries to lighten the situation by making a joke of his bruises and cuts and such

But Race isn’t having it

He goes off on Albert

“Why were ya walkin alone?

Why didn’t ya come back right after?

Did’ja have a run in with the Delancey’s?” And the like

Race sounds accusatory but he really was just super worried

But Albert doesn’t realize that

Albert thinks Race blames him for the situation

And oh god does that hurt

He shouts at Race

“What do you care?

It seems clearly to be my fault!

How about ya just leave me alone?!”

And the thought of leaving Albert alone in the state he’s in breaks Race’s heart

He could never

But then Race is shouting back, unable to keep it down any more

He shouts “It’s because I love ya, ya nitwit!”

And then there’s silence

“What?”

“I said I love ya, ya nitwit.”

And Albert doesn’t say anything, processing the information

And Race gets the wrong idea and starts to leave

“Actually Albert, I uhh, look I gotta, I gotta go and-”

“Race wait!”

“Albert please-”

Albert grabs Race’s arm before he can leave to make sure he can hear what Albert has to say

“I love you too.”

“What?”

“I said I love you too, ya nitwit.”

And Race turns around and Albert lets go off his arm 

“You have no idea how happy that makes me.”

“I think I have an idea.”

Race pecks Albert’s nose and Albert gets the biggest smile

Race starts smiling too

And then they just hug each other

Things are good

They’re happy

[tarantulas4davey]

based on shit I do with my friends vaguely but heres some random newsies headcannons floating around my head, may be back with more later

ralbert breaking into abandoned buildings to find hiding spots to be cute and shit

the newsies squad going to the local park and Jack getting stuck in the baby swing, the others take photos of him (obviously) and then turn the swing upside down to tip him out (this happened today, it was hilarious.)

people think david is the mom friend and is the one to order and talk to people in shops etc but he actually has insane social anxiety and its jack and spot who are the mom friends and do all this

david info dumping the plot of his favourite book onto katherine who listens patiently and asks questions like a good friend. she also does the same about her own interests

jack and spot play fighting constantly but if anyone else hurt either of them it'd be on sight

you know those like basket swings you get? newsbians laying in that together and swinging back and forth peacefully

meanwhile in the background Jack and race are going down the zipline at breakneck speed. at one point they sit on it together and both fall off when it hits the end. Sarah and kath just laugh at them

until next time

-🎧

dearest 🎧, all of these are fucking incredible and i cannot wait for you to send more cause i’m dying

also sorry for being weirdly AWOL for the past few days i’m ✨stressed✨ cause i’m going back to on-campus school for the first time in over a year tomorrow 👁👄👁

- i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, ralbert and the ghoul boys (ryan and shane from buzzfeed unsolved) have EXACTLY the same energy. but in ralbert case, they’re trying to find ghosts a n d places to hang out and do dumb shit in. there’s so many pictures these idiots being the cutest couple around in like,,,, an abandoned building. there’s also way too many pictures of them being gremlins and bad out of focus snapchat clips of albert threatening ghosts a la shane madej

- jack has, MORE THAN ONCE, gotten stuck in a baby swing. so has race for that matter. the amount of time they’ve posted videos where the camera won’t stop shaking cause they’re laughing to hard while davey stands there like “😐🤦‍♀️” and jack is stuck in a baby swing is ridiculous

- davey is the type of mom friend that ALWAYS has a bag full of everything anyone could possibly need (this is a homosexual man that carries tampons in his messenger bag, i said what i said) but the group is almost evenly split with introverts and extroverts, with jack and spot being the ones most willing to order for their friends. i see this as a jack thing more than anything, but spot or race would both offer to order food for their friends if jack wasn’t there.

- beautiful. incredible. immaculate. more 👏 davey 👏 and 👏 katherine 👏 friendship 👏 headcanons 👏 i love them SO MUCH. davey rants about book plots and hyper specific animal facts and katherine rants about movies/tv show plots. both of them go to eachother to rant about news stories and controversies and stuff cause they’re besties like that

- they have that “hate like a sibling” relationship. jack and spot will take ANY opportunity to absolutely wreck the other (verbally and physically, they roast eachother constantly and just straight up wrestle at least twice a day) but the SECOND anyone outside of their friend group tries to do the same thing they’re first in line to defend eachother

- YESYESYESYESYES ok this also conjured a separate but very similar image in my brain. so yk those hanging egg shaped basket chair things???

THIS ^^^ yeah katherine has one hanging from her ceiling in the corner of her food and sometimes her and sarah will just sit all tangled up in it while the sun comes in through the window and- *sapphic sigh* n e w s b i a n s

the idea of jack and race on a zip line both stresses me out and makes me laugh SO HARD. also i’m adding albert to this cause he would go down the zip line with race on his back and you cannot convince me otherwise. davey is trapped in a loop of worrying and laughing once he knows they don’t injure themselves.

✨until next time✨ (which i will be awaiting cause these are GREAT)

I’m #going through it so here have headcannons

DreamXD can and will take slightly modified form of what you love most, so for c!George it’s Dream. I’d like to think for shits and giggles for anyone who has equal love for multiple people it combines them. Like for Phil it might combine Wilbur, techno, Tommy, and Kristen. I wanna see that.

For any and all syndicate meetings niki and ranboo bake sweets for them. Pry this from my cold, dead, paint covered hands I dare you. They may be anarchists, but even the heartiest anti-government organizations need a cupcake.

Not a headcannon but ghostbur can only remember happy parts of his life, he canonically remembers dying. Let that one sink in.

Sapnap has sneezed and accidentally started many fires. He carries a little mini fire extinguisher with him just in case.

Graffiti artist!Eret perhaps? They left all those ‘you matter’s around the smp so maybe it was written in beautiful spray paint calligraphy.

Newsies/MCU crossover

(yeah, I know how it sounds)

Ok so I made a thing

I didn’t mean to make this a thing, it just sorta happened. So if you saw my post a couple days ago, I said that I had been watching wandavision and fell in love with it and it reawakened my love for marvel. I like to hyper fixate a lot (like I am doing with newsies) but I’m also simultaneously doing it with wandavision/the entirety of the MCU.

Anyway, send help because I have commited a sin

What if...it was newsies, but during the mcu timeline. (basically a modern au??) Still in New York, but the boys know superheroes exist and they think that’s awesome and some of the older newsies remember when the battle of new york took place. My main headcannon is during and after the blip, when everyone comes back.

So I needed to figure who all survived and who all dusted. I wasn’t sure how to do that so I used an app on my phone that separates different names into groups randomly. I tried to include every character but I know I forgot some. And this is mainly for the broadway musical since I’m more familiar with that than the movie but you can imagine it as whatever you want really.

Group 1 is people who survived the snap and group 2 is people who disappeared.

(Did this in like 5 minutes so I probably spelled some names wrong oops)

Anyway do with this information what you will

When I first looked at it I definitely wanted to change some things but I didn’t let myself. I think you can make some pretty interesting hcs with this info. Here’s what I have so far:

(Warning: lots of death, but for those of you who watch marvel you know that they all come back later)

The snap takes place around whenever they would be the ages they are when newsies takes place. So jack and davey are 17, katherine is around 18-19 maybe (do we ever really find out?), crutchie is 15??, Les is almost 10 etc.

I forgot to add the rest of the jacobs family (my bad) so I decided to throw my own wrench in there: davey is the only one in his family to disappear; sarah, les, his parents all survive. It sucks and I hate myself for it, but I think it adds a bunch of creative opportunities.

For example—this one is was on the random generator—davey snapped away, but les didn’t. If les was almost ten and davey was 17, then five years later when davey comes back, les is 15. So davey and les originally were seven years apart and now they’re only two. And the little boy that davey felt so responsible for turned into a teenager in what seemed like a day to davey.

We never know for sure kath’s age, but I assume she can’t be more than one or two years older than jack at most. Problem is, kath survives and jack doesn’t. So jack comes back as 17 and kath has aged five years. This definitely throws a kink in their relationship. I’m not sure what to do about this one (what do you think about this?)

Albert and spot both disappear. Regardless of whether you ship ralbert or sprace, race loses them both. He has to go five years without both of them.

Also, jack is gone too, so that makes race the leader of whatever is left of the newsies. He just lost albert, spot, crutchie, davey, jack, and a lot of other newsies and he has to step up and lead the remaininder. My heart hurts

Ike survived but mike didn’t. Just let that sink in...

So I think the app I used was being mean on purpose, because they split up all three sets of brothers. Les survived, Davey didn’t. Ike survived, mike didn’t. Morris survived, Oscar didn’t.

When oscar “died” it probably made morris even more angry and aggressive towards the remaining newsies, since they are the easiest target for him. And again, it’s hard on race because now he feels responsible for keeping all of them safe

Snyder survived (😡) and in the chaos of the snap there were probably a lot of jailbreaks. Snyder could have easily slipped through the radar. That might pose potential problems....

All four of the brooklyn newsies snapped away coincidentally. Without spot conlin, brooklyn is having touble keeping up their “bad boy” persona.

I have no idea what I’m gonna do with all this, but I’m too far in to stop now. I wanna keep building off of this and maybe tie it into wandavision or other mcu installations possibly. So reblog with your newsies/mcu headcannon, or request me an hc in my asks or just let me know what you think about all this.

Don’t let this flop guys I’m counting on you

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 !!

Newsies Christmas headcannons

(Y'all know it's gonna have Spromeo I can't hold myself)

Ok so

Obviously the newsies can't get any real gifts because they're broke

But they get each other little things just for the sake of it

Someone once got Albert a glass of seltzer

he ate the glass

Jojo always tries so hard with the presents

And he always gets the best ones he's like teenage Santa Claus

Les and Davey always spend the day with the newsies and bring pie, even though they don't celebrate Christmas

The nuns make them cookies

And Katherine brings food

She's with them every Christmas somehow

They're not complaining though

Some haven't eaten in like two days

Race goes to Brooklyn in the morning

(In Christmas evening they all need to be together, it's like an unspoken rule)

Spot gets mad because "it's fucking cold out there" and "he'll die"

He once gets caught in a thunderstorm and Spot refuses to let him walk to Manhattan with that weather

When he gets home the others don't talk to him for, like, two days

But he got his first kiss with Spot that day

In the middle of an argument

After they decked each other in the face

It wasn't ideal but it was something

AND NOW TO MY BEST BOY

Romeo L O V E S Christmas

If he could he'd start decorating from, like, September

If it snows he'll cry and there's no way you can get him to go back inside

He 100% gets sick and then Specs has to take care of him

(and sell double, which Romeo insists he shouldn't do and that he'll cover up once he gets well but he still does)

Crutchie loves to go outside and walk and look at the snow and the decorations and hdhdh

Of course he always drags Jack with him

Jack pretends he hates it but everyone knows he loves it because look at Crutchie

He's so happy

They have mistletoe all over the fucking ceiling it's insane

Romeo carries mistletoe in his pocket

Specs is very much aware of it and always sits beside him

Most of them got together on Christmas Day and it's adorable

They haven a great time

(high key wanna write another one with ralbert but like-)

Ralbert Musician Au

This au is something I first brought up to the wonderful @tarantulas4davey and I've finally gotten around to making. Thank you sm Chandler for appreciating my idea you're the best <3 these are just the basis but I'd love if people sent headcannons in:)

Ps. I'm aware this is inaccurate, I'm not a musician

Edit: Part 2!

---

- okay. backstory. Race and Albert are childhood friends, so they've known each other since they were in diapers. They're super super close. Freinds to lovers, you know the drill

- Albert plays mutiple instruments, but mainly guitar. He mainly learned from his mom, but he's also just,, naturally good at playing instruments.

- Albert is naturally quiet and private about his interests, so it's really no surprise he doesn't tell anyone he plays guitar and stuff.

- He does, however, post anonymous covers of songs on YouTube (and writes his own songs, but we'll get to that later) and people just love it because he has a great v o i c e and it's just enjoyable to listen to.

- But in real life, no-one really knows. Race doesn't actually find out until a year after they start dating (which I'm thinking they started when they were like,, 15? when Albert played for him.

- He does get comfortable enough to play around a few people, but the only places he feels completely comfortable with playing is when doing covers, by himself, or in Race's company.

- Now, he continues this playing covers until one day in the summer between Junior and Senior year, where Albert posts and original song. He'd been writing for awhile, but he only just built up the confidence to share it. And people l o v e it. His channel had a decent following and he was doing pretty well, but after he released it, his channel blew up. And the song wasn't a huge release or anything, it was something he kinda did because he felt like it.

- now, focusing on Race, he isn't an actual musician. But he loves music. Like loves. So those nights when Albert brought out his acoustic guitar and played for him, Race treasured.

- he's an open book, but he also keeps Albert's hobby a secret (even though he wants people to know Albert has a gift for music) because Albert isn't really ready to share that.

- Race is just super super supportive of Albert's music hobby, which does eventually become a career as he gets more comfortable with the idea of releasing music for people to enjoy.

Again, if you have any headcannons, asks are (hopefully) on and welcome. That's all I have for now, I might add more later.

ralbert headcannons? love the blog!

thanks babe!!

Cuddles all the time

We’re not fucking around here, I’m talking full-on snuggles laying on a blanket in the back of a truck looking at the stars

Race usually initiates said cuddles but Albert has no objections ever bc they’re both touch starved 

Albert rambles about his extraterrestrial shit all time

Race hangs on to every word because his boyfriend is adorable when he’s talking about something he’s passionate about

His cheeks flush and he gestures with his hands a lot and Race can never get enough of it

Albert is exactly an inch and a half taller than Race and always kisses his forehead purely to rub it in his face

Also Race braids Albert’s hair sorry I don’t make the rules (Race and Kath are bros so he’s a master)

It’s just long enough to make little braids on the sides and it’s hard to find Al without them

They give each other the dumbest nicknames bc they’re cheesy but I’ll leave it up to your imagination

You have no idea how many times Albert’s come home from a long day at work in the middle of the night to Race singing and dancing around the kitchen stirring a pot of mac n cheese

They take a lot of spontaneous roadtrips

I mentioned that in my platonic ralbert hcs, but it’s different because this involves snuggles (see bullet point 2) and making out for very long periods of time

This is Only Fluff but somewhere beneath all the sprace trash I ship this very hard sooooo,,,, take my fluff
