rating headcanons that yall say

lowkey kinda love reading hcs and some are scarily accurate but some are like??where did you even?????get that from?????

so im gonna like? debunk some? and just like, comment on shit? if i miss anything ask n ill make a separate post

crutchie is not like.. ✨uWu soft baby cinnamon roll✨. its fbhjdksabkh frustrating like the whole "let crutchie say fuck" thing annoyed him. just bc he has a disability doesnt mean hes infantilized. he is actually a little fucking menace and he will hit you. he is opinionated and not a innocent little child.

i (race) like biting. thats it. i bite.

jack is like chronically adhd but he doesnt think he is. hell hyperfixate and infodump and get so distracted on one thing (90% of the time its his current artwork) that the outside world just stops existing. yet he thinks this is just normal people things to do while i just 🫠

hes also a manwhore. he gets around a lot (albeit as a coping mechanism for his ✨everything trauma✨). like before the strike he slept around, with random people hed pick up on the street, theatregoers hed see during meddas shows and talked to afterwards ("dont come a knockin" style), meddas backstage crew, people hed sell the evening paper to, anyone. gender was irrelevant to him, he just needed an outlet for all his energy. it was usually a no stings attached scenario, but not like, "wham bam thank you maam" sorta thing, he treated them with respeect

alberts safe food is lamb. thats it.

spot is a chihuahua. down to the soul. (he will deny this till the day he dies)

everyone is some form of neurodivergent. all funky in the brain /lh

also some things that are not true (soz guys)

-um. ralbert. it just doesnt make sense for either of us? hes my best friend and i do love him but not like that. also i dont think wed be able to survive as a couple. we collectively share about three (3) brain cells and i think we would destroy a house together. like blow it up (storytime for later about that if yall wanna hear)

-neither is javey (sorry everyone). jack an davey love each other. yes. but not in a romantic way. theyll trust each other with things theyd never tell anyone else, but they are strictly platonic. they said they could never imagine being together, sorry to all the avid javey supporters out there.

-kathy's a lesbian. false 💖

shes bi with a preference for women. she did THINK she was a lesbian until she had this big dumb guy come up to her on the street and offer to bring her a paper personally.

-newsies dont have an age limit. we dont "age out" of selling. it isnt "just a kids job". anyone could sell papers. the whole point of being a newsie is that anyone could do the job, it didnt matter who you were or where you were from, you just had to have enough money to buy the paper from the distributor. we had a like 40 year old woman who used to come buy her papers after we did. so the theories of "what happens when jack ages out??" arent nessicarily accurate, if anything he would leave by choice.

rewatching livesies again to analyse costume and i love looking at it this way bc it makes so much s e n s e in my brain

so like. most of us newsies have these like, really long shorts, or a capri and long socks, (which was disneys way of trying to make people in their mid 20s look young enough to be teenagers) but like it worked?

the only ones (newsies) who aren’t wearing this combo? jack and davey. we see all the adults wearing long pants (pulitzer, weisel, bunsen, sietz and even the delancey brothers, though not "adults", they arent directly on the side of the newsies).

jack n davey however wear long tailored pants too, and for the most part, their vests are the only ones done up. while davey and jack are close-ish in height (might do davey in a seporate post), their pants are worn differently.

jacks are cuffed. n this is such a small detail but to me it means so much. every day he puts on his work outfit an cuffs his pants because they're too big. he wears them to be associated with the adult working world, hes the leader of the manhattan boys, and hes almost 18, hes the adult here, or he should be, right? he tries so hard to be older, to be strong and tough but his pants dont fit.

jack kelly cuffs his pants becasue inside, hes just a boy in mans clothing.

daily reminder : jack kelly is so smart he becomes dumb again.
