Newsies high school fanfic outline
David has math with Bumlets, history with Crutchy and Blink, science with Tommy boy and Specs, and English with Dutchy and Kathrine. He meets Jack when he gets assigned to tutor him in English to help get his grades better than last semester’s. Dave never really spoke to any of the Newsies he shared classes with so when he and Jack went to the Lodging house to grab homework to work on for a tutoring session, he got to formally meet all of them. He also didn’t know they were called anything other than their legal names, so when Jack said he shared classes with his friends on the way to the Lodge, David had no clue who he was talking about.
Dave tutors Jack in English (his worst subject, ironic) start of second semester junior year (most of the characters are going to be juniors except for a few which I will explain in a different post). At first David found Jack kind of annoying, but over time, he grows fond of him. After a few weeks of everyday sessions Jack’s grade starts to show improvement so, jack takes the two of them to go get coffee one weekend. While they’re out Jack asks Dave if he can help him on an assignment for a different class, he agrees and they drive down to the Lodging house to grab the project and head back to the coffee shop where they could get more peace and quiet then staying at the house.
The moment Jack opens the door the two are greeted with Pie-eater and Bumlets on the floor, wrestling for a Wii remote, being cheered on by Finch and Romeo, Racetrack filming the entire thing, and everyone watching like it’s a completely normal event. Jack pulls David passed that, and up the stairs to the bunks while David attempts to look back to watch the fight. As they walk over to Jacks bunk, David gets a whiff of what smells like boys locker room. Jack obviously doesn’t notice given he’s used to it, so Dave doesn’t comment and try’s to ignore it. Jack grabs his school bag and they head back downstairs to leave. Pie and Bumlets, still fighting, dash up the stairs, Bumlets behind Pie, accidentally hits Daves shoulder, causing him to loose balance and fall down the stairs. He grabs Jack to regain balance but ends up taking Jack down with him (forth floor to the ground). The two fall and Jack ends up right on top of Davey with their faces like 5 inches away from each other. They hear a laugh and Jack looks up to find Race standing in front of Kloppman’s desk writing something down. Jack knows Race will tell the whole house so he quickly gets off Dave, walks over to him, hits Race in the back of the head and whispers something to him, inaudible to Dave who is still picking himself up off the ground. David helps Jack regather his homework and the two awkwardly leave the house and get into Jack’s truck. Once they get in, they sit there awkwardly, trying to find something to say. Dave blurts out and apology and Jack apologies for Bumlets knocking him down. A few seconds pass and they drive back to the coffee shop. It’s around 3pm when they get there and they stay until closing at 6pm.
That’s all I have written out on paper so far but it’s all in my head and I will try to get the grade list and first chapter out soon.
Update on the Newsies highschool fic
I will be posting the outline of the story soon, probably later tomorrow if I remember. unfortunately I have state testing in the morning. But soon it will come.
Modern Newsies HC’s for my AU Part: 6
All the Newsies share hand and shower towels and they just wash them and lay them out hotel style (all the towels have at least one hole, they’re old). As the Jacob’s start to get closer to the Newsies, they start to learn their birthdays. They get each of them a new hand and shower towel for their birthday, in which Sarah will embroider their name on to both towels in their favorite color.
Modern Newsies HC’s for my AU Part: 5
Each Newsie has a mug that only they use. They have a cabinet in their kitchen specifically to store everyone’s mugs. Each cup is special/specific to each person, some made the one they use and others were given or bought theirs. Each mug is labeled at the bottom with the Newsies nickname and all the ones that aren’t labeled are for anyone to use.
(i thought of this while making hot chocolate and i grabbed my favorite mug and was like, huh hc time)
Modern Newsies HC’s for my AU Part: 4
Nights with the Newsies can either go two ways, everyone goes to sleep at around the same time, or just the younger Newsies then the rest are downstairs doing who knows what. Once everyone is asleep making a noise could be life or death, and by death I mean a pillow to the face or back of the head. They hate when people talk when they’re trying to sleep so if you walk through the Lodging House at night it’s dead silent and I mean dead silent. If you make a noise that isn’t controllable, like talking, many of the boys will throw pillows or mumble/yell to go back to sleep at the source of the sound. Some of them like snore or sleep talk (which is very rare but has happened) but they know who it is because of how used to it they are. Mornings aren’t any better, a lot of the boys are not morning people in the slightest.
I know this like doesn’t make any sense but it does in my head and will probably make more sense on paper.
Modern Newsies HC’s for my AU Part: 3
There’s a room on first floor of the lodging house, right next to Kloppman’s called the sick/guest room. It has four beds in it, one in each corner, and a bathroom with a bathtub/shower. They use this room when one of them gets sick so they can basically quarantine them. Once four people occupy the room and more people get sick, they either have people share beds or they go back to sleeping in their own bunks because once one Newsie gets sick, they all get sick. They also use this room for guests, so if say the Jacob’s (once they get closer in the story), or Medda or whatever, ever need somewhere to stay, they would sleep in that room. There is one window and that’s on the wall you see when you walk in, right next to the bathroom entrance. It’s a rectangular room with the longer sides having the room entrance and the bathroom entrance. The beds are backed into all four corners, touching the walls.
Modern Newsies HC’s for my AU Part: 2
They each have their own labeled drawers in the bathroom with their name written on a piece of tape thats suck right above the handle. They keep their medication, their toothbrush, deodorant, chapstick, etc. Any toiletries you wouldn’t normally share go in your own drawer. Everything else like lotion, maybe toothpaste, possibly hair care stuff, shaving cream, anything you would probably leave on your counter. They also have designated cabinets for like medical supplies, extra towels, toilet paper, tissues, blah blah blah. The bathroom is set up the same way it is in the movie minus the barrels Snipeshooter is like using as a bathtub. Because they don’t have showers in the movie I’m expanding the bathroom so there can be showers in there. So right next to the four stalls will be four curtain showers, one of them having a handicap bar and seat for Crutchy. The only bathtubs they have is in a room I’m calling the sick/guest room that will be talked about in the next update.
Modern Newsies HC’s for my AU Part: 1
They all share clothes. Like dating or not they all share clothes. You’ll find like Boots wearing Snoddy’s hoodie because it’s baggy on him, or Romeo sleeping in Blink’s shirt because it’s comfortable. Unless they’ve specifically requested no one else wears it, it will be shared. Even more likely for people who share a bunk like Kid Blink and Racetrack or Jake and Snipeshooter to share clothes.
Highschool Fic update
No I haven’t started writing, I am currently writing an outline of what i want to happen but here are the ships I have planned. Also unless they are a musical only character I will be using the 1992 versions of the characters so if you haven’t seen that version you should.
Jack and David, but it’s like kinda slow burn
Jack and Kathrine, but by the start of the story they have broken up but stayed friends
Blink and Mush, obviously
Jack and Sarah, they did date prior to the story but non of Sarah’s family or the Newsies knew they were dating or that they knew each other, you’ll see how that works later
Sarah and Kathrine, we love the newsbians
Racetrack and Spot, again using the 92 versions only bc I’m a sucker for a good ‘92sies Sprace story (sorry Spralbert and Ralbert shippers)
Bumlets, Swifty, and Skittery, BUMSWIFTERY FOR LIFE
Snitch and Itey, there is no freaking way they aren’t dating they literally share a bed
Tommy Boy and Finch, don’t ask me why it’s just one of my favorites
Specs and Dutchy, yes 92 Specs this ship is so random but I love it so much
Elmer and Buttons, I LOVE THESE TWO AHH
Jojo and Mike, can’t have a story without these two
Sniper, Smalls, Hotshot, but all girls because we NEED girl power
Graves and York, gotta have some Brooklyn Newsies ofc

can anyone help me find this post about how each of the newsies wake everyone up please i liked it not long ago but now i cant find it. if anyone knows what im talking about could they send it please youd be a life saver
can someone explain to me how they got the idea to make jack an artist in livesies, like seriously it is never at all mentioned in 92sies that he paints, only that he wants a better life
redhead Albert is my favourite thing ever.... idk why smth about him is so precious.... RAHHH
ohhhhgggKAY y'all
I have some personal albert hc's based on a character workshop today (very based off of other peoples Albert hc's)
- he has a mother and two younger sisters, his dad either walked out or died
- his mother is either sick or drunk so it's mostly up to him to provide for his family.
- his closest/only friends are the New York newsies. he's very apprehensive of katherine at first.
- he wears his newsie hat backwards (though we knew this)
- he's super hyper masc and stoic and cold to hide his insecurities about his feminine traits- he wants to go to culinary school and become a chef, and is also grappling with his sexuality and a crush on jack/race
- the abscencr of his father also played a hand in his demeanour and insecurities, he never really had a male role model to show him how to act.
- he has anger/emotional processing issues becuase if his mental health, sexuality and absent father. it's very rare to see him smile, and the only times he really does in the show is during numbers like kony.
- during his rare downtime while he's not selling papes or caring for his mum and sisters he likes to visit this one diner downtown. sometimes they give him food for free or just let him watch the process in the kitchen. they don't let him help because they'd have to pay him and also hes too dirty but it's his comfort place. he would never tell the other newsies. the line cook there is a gay guy and he and Albert talk a lot about everything that albert would never open up to anyone else about.
anyway yah! that's my albert! my silly guy!
ps im starting on the writing reqs :3c
Exploring background manhattan newsie looks!! I want to give them all a cohesive colour scheme and all slightly different outfits, also more variety in ages, lengths and nationalities. Also they're just so fun to draw
crutchie is a BIG fun socks guy ... he's got at least 10 pairs of utterly odd and colourful socks ... davey on the other hand only owns black socks and jack only owns white socks ..
rewatching livesies for like the 15th time ... davey inviting jack home to dinner THE FIRST DAY THEY MET????????????? true love
jack who lives off shin ramen throughout uni x Davey who needs at least 2 full meals per day to function . they are roommates ...
in a hobby shop rn ... anyway crutchie is a board game fan .... race collects model cars .... davey likes making models but isn't too into cars ... race has horrible fine motor skills ... davey makes the models for race to display ....
guys how extensive is newsiesblr??? can everyone active on newsiesblr who sees this interact ... I wanna follow everybody :3
When I was 9 I heard the song “the world will know” from Newsies for the first time without any context. Mind you my English was HORRENDOUSLY bad back then so I thought they said “dragons” instead of “wagons”. LONG STORY SHORT: I THOUGHT THE NEWSIES WERE DRAGON HUNTERS FOR LIKE 3 YEARS 😭
I also thought newsies was about dragons when I first watched it…
If life keeps fucking me over like this my most listened artist on the 2025 Spotify wrapped will be the 1992 newsies ensemble
This took way too long and I don’t even like it, kill me please
It may be a bit cringy but it’s currently 2 am and I’m too tired to care
Is there any context? No! Just make one up haha
I totally just made this because I’m a sucker for Jack being head over heels for Davey the second he sees him
@nitttstdsdtoastd asked for Javid and I will deliver 🫡
(I totally made this for myself)
Sarah is another person we can add to the “is annoyed by Jack’s tendencies” pile
Does anyone have any ideas what I could draw (newsies related)
The Javey coffee shop AU no one needs
Yesterday I visited my dad at work (he works at a newspaper company) and no one got my newsies references ):
You think you can hurt me? I voluntarily read Javey angst in my free time.
