Albert, who's absolutely terrified of losing his friends. He acts around the Newsies like he really doesn't care, but he truly does.
After the fight, nobody could find him for hours. They last saw him running away after Splasher was knocked out, dashing from the scene.
Finch ended up finding him hidden behind Jacobi’s, curled in on himself, and trying to shield himself from the world. He had to practically drag him back to the Lodge House cause of how scared he was to see the aftermath of the fight and what ended up happening to everybody.
let me make one thing very clear right now- if you are planning on leaving the newsies fandom because the show is closing, no you fucking aren’t. nope. not allowed. sit down. we aren’t fucking quitters, coward. some of us had been here for YEARS before uksies showed up, and then didn’t even get to see the goddamn show. this isn’t the end of the world. go watch a slime tutorial on youtube. cry a little bit. we will be fucking fine, and you’d better not be going anywhere now, so help me god.
They’re Filipino guys. All three of them. Filipino. Pinoy. Filipino.
I’M SO FOR REAL RIGHT NOW.
Patrick “Finch” Cortez. Who played Finch? Aaron Albano AND Julian DeGuzman, what are they? PINOY. SO WHAT SHOULD FINCH BE?? PINOY. (Though my headcanons are that he’s Wasian, because I’m so real like that.)
Romeo. Who played Romeo? NICO DEJESUS. WHAT IS NICO DEJESUS? PINOY. ROMEO IS PINOY.
AND LASTLY, SMALLS. WHO PLAYED SMALLS? JULIAN DEGUZMAN. HE’S FILIPINO TOO. THEY’RE MY PINOY LIL GUYS.
