Hello Newsies fandom, for your casual viewing pleasure (and because apparently some people think headcanoning the Jacobs family as Jewish is antisemitic), here is the exact passage from the official Newsies novel that states Davey is Jewish and Jack is Irish :D
It's not a headcanon, it's literally written in the source material and, even if it wasn't, this fandom has been headcanoning characters' ethnicities based on their names since 1992. They're street kids living in New York City in 1899, they're going to be a diverse group and the best thing we have to go on is their names. I know my group of mutuals headcanon at least two other characters as Jewish, somewhat if not entirely based on their names.
Like, I don't know how else to explain that headcanoning a character with a traditionally Jewish name isn't "stereotyping" it's literally just being like "oh hey, this whole family has really common Jewish names, it would be fun if they're Jewish" and then we all move on with our lives because it's also literally canon. Like, it would be bad if we were headcanoning a character as Jewish purely because they exhibit behaviors that are also associated with negative Jewish stereotypes but that's literally not what's happening here. Also I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the non-dialogue parts of the script somewhere but I don't have access to that.
In conclusion, don't be weird about people headcanoning characters as minorities, it's not stereotyping it's literally just people existing.
(Also, I am not Jewish, so I do not at all claim to be any kind of authority on representation. If any Jewish bloggers want to weigh in I will happily read and be open to learning!)

FINALL SOMEONE WHO ALSO THINKS FOUL LEGACY IS HOT
hear ME OUT ON THIS:
Childe going into Foul Legacy while you two are sparring (for shits and giggles yk how gingers are /j) and instead of being terrified, you see it as a big puppy askdfkad I JUST WANT TO PET IT IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK HOYOVERSE???
you. you get it
when he transforms into Foul Legacy, your stance changes almost INSTANTLY, going from battle-ready to staring at him, eyes wide and hands covering your mouth. Childe tilts his head, a bit concerned for you- you're still sparring, right? so why is your weapon on the floor?
as you step closer Childe lowers his spear, instinctively trying to make himself seem smaller- if it was anyone else he'd use this opening to attack, but he doesn't want to scare you at all. your fingers twitch, hand extending before drawing back slightly
"Can I...?"
Childe blinks, finally understanding what you're asking, and lowers himself further so you can rest your hand in his fluffy copper hair, wings flitting at your gasp of delight. gently you stroke his ginger locks, combing and untangling it with your fingers, ruffling it, scritching behind his horns, and Childe finds himself melting into your touch, spear clattering onto the floor. he sits at your feet, leaning against your chest as you pet him, letting out small coos and chirps of bliss
purr
you do a double take, glancing down at Childe- yes, he's purring, his Foul Legacy form is purring and nuzzling against your hands, gleaming eye slipping shut. when you try to pull your hands away, Childe whines, looking at you imploringly and delicately grasping your wrists to pull them back, re-settling your hands in his hair. you gradually make your way downwards, scratching underneath his chin, and Childe cranes his head backwards in sheer delight, happy squeaks and trills coming from his mouth
"So cute..."
Childe chitters at your words, fur fluffing up with pride- his favorite person thinks he's cute!! he just about turns into a monster-y puddle when you swoop down and leave a kiss on his forehead
needless to say, not a lot of sparring gets done after that

okay, because I'm getting incredibly curious:
I swear I'd include more options/break up certain options more if tumblr gave me more space, and I'm sincerely sorry if your instrument (or the the band clique you're a hundred percent sure your mutual was in) isn't on here, but this is the best I can do 😭

Going nuts trying to figure out why ShawLuna put so much effort into keeping floating Atlas a secret, especially since it had absolutely zero affect on the plot because everyone in universe already knew it!
(Major spoilers for the She Ra reboot) In She Ra and the Princesses of Power, the entire damn planet is a weapon of mass destruction. Not only is this a huge shock to our characters, but it becomes the focus of the finale season once the Big Bad decides he wants to use its power to reorder the cosmos to his liking
Meanwhile, Atlas floats and Atlas falls
This isn't a bomb dropped on the audience that blows their minds, it's the splat of a wet sock on tiled floor that earns at most a "huh, okay"
Totally worth keeping a secret for six years, amiright fellas?
