#i unexpectedly have a newsies oc and he's my new favorite character#i was telling my brother about a dream i had#where i was unexpectedly cast in a school production of newsies (courtesy of my summertime 'listening to the soundtrack on repeat)'#(i have now realized that 'unexpectedly getting a role in a school musical' is a recurring dream subgenre)#(which is extra weird since i have never acted in anything beyond the one musical i was forced into last minute because i was in choir)#and there was a question of whether i would be included in the chorus at the beginning#given that i was also playing katherine#and the deciding factor was apparently going to be how good the newsboy cap looked with my hair#they decided that it looked stupid#and anyway as i was telling my brother about the dream debate over whether i would be part of the chorus or not#he (true to form) referenced arthur with 'if you were in the chorus you could have a claw'#and i was immediately DELIGHTED with the possibility of playing a newsie named clawey#the little mutant boy with one lobster claw who escaped from a lab in the sewers#and now has to sell newspapers to survive#and anyways now i am absurdly attached to clawey#in my head he is part of the strike but just always off-screen and newsies now exists in a sci-fi world#and there's no reason to tell you this except what is tumblr for except to talk about your weird inside joke ocs
