Fun little question
So how do we think 92sies Jack would react to meeting livesies Davey?
Because I can just imagine 92sies Jack's first thought being terror at the fact that David is taller than him now, then his second thought being even more terror when David mentions that they are friends with Pulitzer's daughter.

Some Newsies Headcanons
Jack:
This man 100% pretends to be all brave an tough and then proceeds to cry himself to sleep
Probably afraid of thunderstorms but hides it
Had a horse phase when he was younger (So did Race but not as bad)
Sometimes forgets words for things and decides to make them up (couldn't remember the word for cigar so he yelled at Racetrack not to let Les use his "fire leaf stick")
Still has nightmares about the refuge
That Santa Fe pamphlet is more important to him than most of the people he knows (with the exception of Davey, Les, Crutchie, and Race)
Has threatened to use a lasso to tie Racetrack to the wall at least once, and no, it didn't work
David:
Talks to himself when he's doing things
Can see right through Jack's bullshit/knows when he's pretending to be okay vs when he actually is
Cannot dance but tries
Fidgets with literally anything he can get his hands on
A modern David would cry after watching Dear Evan Hansen
Genuinely doesn't know how to smoke and legit inhaled the smoke and started dying the first time Jack offered a cigar to him
Dresses very formally literally no matter where he's going
Talks about Jack to Sarah because he is very gay and doesn't want advice from his parents
Sometimes questions his gender identity but always forces himself not to think about it because of what his family might think
Crutchie:
I will die on the hill that Crutchie is probably an age regressor, but keeps it a secret because this is Newsies and nobody tells anyone anything
Will beat you with his crutch if you insult his friends
Will apologize after hitting someone in a fight
Claims to hate being carried but does kinda like it
Will go to work even if he's dying of an unknown deadly sickness because he feels bad about others helping him
Race:
This is pretty much canon at this point I believe but Race is transmasc
Spot is the only one allowed to call him "Racer", he will protest if anyone else calls him that
Always has a cigar purely for the sake of having something in his mouth, not because he smokes it
Got his harmonica taken away by Jack after playing it nonstop at all hours of the night
Spot has offered to let him live in Brooklyn and he just kinda said no because he's fine making the walk every day
Acts like an idiot but is actually really smart
Probably hates basically everything about himself but acts like he's the best to hide it because this is Newsies and nobody tells anyone anything
Seriously all of these characters just need to sit down and have a heart to heart
"I can't wait for anything! The doctors call it ADHD- I call it RDHD, because my name is Racetrack!" (Bonus points if yall get that reference)
A modern Racetrack would show Spot that one song from Raggedy Ann, "It's hard to be king when you're short" and get yelled at
Spot:
Gets teased constantly for being short
Constantly looks like he wants to unalive the next person he sees
Steals Racetrack's hat to annoy him
Racetrack compared him to one of those small yappy dogs once and Spot now thinks about it constantly
Aggressively kind to the people he cares about ("DRINK WATER AND GET SOME FUCKING SLEEP, I FUCKING LOVE YOU")
Refuses to explain why he ran away from his family
Despises his real name because "it sounds like an old man name"
Anyways that's all :)

Wolfwalkers AU??
As a gift from me to you, have a crack Newsies AU that nobody asked for, wanted, or probably even thought about. I was watching wolfwalkers and I had this thought so here yall go
--
Basic AU things:
Jack is a wolfwalker :)
2. Jack's family dissapeared ages ago- his mom died and his dad was captured (Sound familiar?)
3. David is (was) a normal human living nearby
4. David went into the forest one day and Jack bit him on accident
5. Now David is a wolfwalker and in danger (yay?)
6. Basically the plot of wolfwalkers but with Newsies characters
7. Pulitzer gets lord protector's role here because we need a villain
8. Jack and David are gay
--
Here is some art, assuming you're still reading this shit:

The art isn't great, I know- I haven't drawn people in a while so cut me some slack :')
Anyways I will be here to provide more crack in the future. See ya! - Talon
