crutchie: is everyone here? jack, henry, finch, dumb, dumber...

race: hey!

albert: it's okay, i'll be dumber.

crutchie: i love how you recognised who i was talking about immediately.

albert pushes his hair back from his face again. he has too much hair. he'd cut it shorter if he didn't look awful with short hair. he usually just ignores the way it brushes his shoulder and gets in his face. "it's in my face again!" he shouts, smacking the edge of the sink. "finch!"

"yeah?" as the only two lagging behind for the evening pape, finch is walking around shirtless. albert stares only a little as finch enters the bathroom. "what are ya yellin' anbout?"

"my hair ain't looking good. fix it for me."

"say please." something about the way finch always makes him say please gets to him. makes him angry but also makes something in him jolt.

"please fix my goddamn hair, finch."

"i learned something new. might help your hair. can i try?"

"now you say please, finchly."

"i don't gotta say shit, al. you is askin' for my help, not the other way around." albert clenches his jaw.

"i'm gonna hit ya." finch grins.

"c'mere." albert heads to finch's bunk. "sit on the ground, right there." he does as he's told. finch sits behind him, hanging his legs over albert's shoulders. "sorry if it hurts."

"i like it when it hurts," albert says, a small smile on his face. "yous should know."

"i certainly do, red." he can't see what finch is doing, just feels yanking on his scalp. it's sharp and sudden every time.

"ow!" he shouts. he almost smacks finch's hands away from his hair. he's always been really particular about letting people touch his hair. it feels intimate and he hates that. only his mom used to and now finch does. his brothers do too, when they're trying to annoy him.

"shut up 'nd sit still!" finch snaps back. he leans down and gives albert a comforting kiss on the top of his head anyway.

"i ain't movin'!" he says defensively, crossing his arms. he lets finch do his work, hissing when he tugs particularly hard. he feels finch tie something into his hair and then start with the other half. "almost done?" he asks.

"yeah, yeah. gimme a second here." after a few minutes, finch ties something else in his hair. "go check yous hair in the mirror." he gets up fron the ground and goes to the bathroom to see. finch has worked his hair into two braids, held completely out of his face but for a single strand or so. "ya like it?" finch calls.

he looks pretty. something he's never really thought about himself.

"yeah! it looks-" he smiles. he doesn't smile a whole lot. "thanks." finch pokes his head into the bathroom, now with a half-buttoned shirt on.

"good, let's go! we's late!" finch grabs his shirt and pulls him out the doors of the lodging house. the distribution gates are crowded and loud. albert shoulders past everyone and joins jack and specs at the front.

"jackie, specs," albert greets.

"ay, what's with your hair?" specs asks.

"finch did it," he replies. "why, you got an issue with it?" specs grins at him. "shut up."

"yeah, looking good, red," jack says, grinning. "i think i finally got what finch likes about ya." albert rolls his eyes, stepping forward to get his papes. he sits on the edge of the little wooden walkway. finch stands on the ground beside him, looking over his shoulder at the pape.

"your hair looks pretty," he says finally, laying his cheek against albert's shoulder.

"thanks." albert smiles down at him.

#albert is so careful with his hair and eill kill a bitch who tries to touch it #finch always learn hair techniques from some of the newsgirls in manhattan just so he can do alberts for hims #its very domestic and everyone laughs at albert for being a smiley little loser whole finch does his hair in the mornings #cuties am i right?? #redfinch #finch x albert #finch cortez #finch newsies #finch cortes #albert dasilva #albert newsies #livesies #newsies #92sies #albert x finch #mars' writing!!

you know what i absolutely adore?

angst.

finch is so deeply in love with albert. he knows that al doesn’t like him back and it hurts so much but they’re best friends and that’s what matters.

al knows finch likes him. he hates how it’s changed their friendship so much. he just wants race to love him back. race loves spot.

race would do anything for spot. he is completely unaware that his best friend is in love with him, because he’s been like that for such a long time it’s practically normal. spot doesn’t love race.

spot conlon. the toughest newsie in all of new york. spot doesn’t have time for love. focusing on the brooklyn newsies is all that matters. spot isn’t ready for love, isn’t ready to let down their guard.

ok >:] if one of the newsies were sick or something and davey (whos not as experienced living with them ) put his hand to their head to check their temperature.. do you... Do you think they would flinch

oh, they absolutely would

davey tends to be a bit hesitant with touch, at least until he’s comfortable with people, but when he’s concerned he’s touchy-feely as all hell - when he’s trying to stop any of the boys fighting or arguing or doing something stupid in uksies, those are the moments he rushes right over and grabs them, puts hands on their chest or shoulders, totally thoughtless and instinctive. and i can only imagine that extends into him fretting over illness or injuries as well; he becomes his mother, reaching out with gentle hands to examine and assess and try and comfort. he’s used to her pressing her palm to his forehead when she fears he’s getting sick, used to her brushing her thumb softly over scratches or bruises, used to her just holding him when she can’t offer anything else.

he sees finch bleary-eyed and out of it at sales, hears the subtle concern in jack’s voice as he clarifies to davey that finch “ain’t doin’ too hot”, and he’s worried.

“do you have a fever?” davey asks finch, reaching out for him out of pure instinct to rest a palm on his forehead, and in a split second finch is snapping back to awareness, snapping his teeth like a dog as he jerks away.

“get off me!”

davey jerks back too, heart leaping as finch whacks his hand away hard enough davey’s knuckles knock and sear. finch is immediately poised for a fight — or…trying to be. he’s swaying where he’s stood, sweat beading on his forehead. his fists are clenched tight, tight enough to bleach his knuckles, though davey isn’t sure if it’s tight enough to also account for how finch is shaking.

“i—i wasn’t—“ davey stammers, desperate to defuse. get rid of the fear in finch’s face, covered sloppily with anger. “i didn’t—i wasn’t going to—“

i wasn’t going to hurt you.

but finch wouldn’t believe him. none of the boys do, no matter how often such promises are made to any of them. davey knows mush would sooner die than hurt blink, but blink still jumps every time mush comes close. splasher still cowers when one of the older boys shouts too loud. buttons still gets vicious when he thinks someone’s getting mean with him first. jack still almost elbows davey in the face every time davey thoughtlessly comes up behind him.

(even morris flinches, when he’s got that distant look in his eyes like he’s not really there and oscar knocks their shoulders together to try and bring him back.)

davey just wishes he could make it better.

instead, he goes with the boys back to the lodging house at the end of the day, and wets the cleanest washcloth he can find with cool water. he resists the urge to just place it on finch’s forehead where he’s lay to avoid disturbing him, and instead raps his knuckles softly against the edge of finch’s bunk.

“here.”

finch doesn’t let davey put the cloth on him. he takes it from davey’s hands instead, and does it himself. but he mumbles his thanks as davey retreats, and davey smiles sadly. mourning for all the boys who’ve never been held and now can never stomach it.

Thinking about Redfinch but with uksies Albert and Finch. Because this Albert is the loudest ball of chaos you'll ever meet and meanwhile Finch is on the verge of a panic attack like 99% of the time. Startle him and he'll collapse.

#their dynamic would be soooo chaotic and i love them for it #newsies #newsies uk #finch cortes #albert dasilva #redfinch

[jack-kellys]

hello everyone here are the few notes i had from that weird night i keep mentioning (march 29):

alex christian legend hero king tossed himself into buttons for act 2 while fellow legend hero king jordan isaac tossed himself out of buttons and into tommy boy!

* it’s something i didn’t consider bc i’ve never done this show on a professional level like this— each character has a track. like each little ensemble role. because tommy dances here during this part, and he crosses this way, and jordan can’t just do his personal track because tommy has to scab and talk to these people and etc. like that mapping out must be fucking insanity especially considering they have TWO SWINGS ONLY right now bc of past injuries etc. with the moscar debacle this weekend this has become pretty obvious but the way we were like “aw no alex… —where’s jack?? —ALEX????”

the lights came all the way on during intermission that day! so we had intermission for at least 10 extra minutes to switch out tommy for jordan and consequently jordan for alex, which was fine by me bc now i have fully lit pictures of the set for you all.

jack bromage (tommy boy) nearly dropped zach guest (ike? a swing?) on his fucking head! whoops!!! and then tommy got hurt and disappeared for act 2 LMAO mans needs to be more careful oh my god

*speaking on tommy though as a character in this version: tommy is integral to the newsies. he’s in trousers, takes the east side as a whole to report the strike to, and when he scabs… oh it’s a moment. crutchie is shocked (“tommy?”), finch says his “they think they can just waltz in here and take OUR jobs?” to tommy directly and shoves him down, which is the only act of violence finch rly commits.

*during the brawl, finch hangs back (around woodside’s overhang balc) and surveys. and there’s this one moment when mush is on the ground via wiesel who has a baseballl bat, and mush is pleading w/ wiesel not to hit him. wiesel grips mush’s suspender as if to hit him again and then the cop whistle blows, and wiesel drops mush and mush.. doesn’t get up. you can hear finch say “no.. no no no-” from woodside before running down and checking if mush is breathing, tapping him to wake him up and get up… ahh another newsie was next to mush that finch was checking on too but i wasn’t sure who- and then finch bolts with those two. and it’s when he’s helping those two offstage that crutchie calls for him, romeo, jack. like bro. the ACTUAL CHARACTER in this show is fantastic like that’s so small but literally the only reason finch can’t help crutchie is bc he’s doing his little sub-leader role and he can’t and it’s. sad. i was like oh wow. nuance. directorial thought. like they had to reason out that staging. it makes me think if they went thru the show and were actually like “what is each character doing during this fight” instead of “what is each actor doing during this fight” which is SOOOOO. impressive.

after king of new york, race and finch take the tables off down in front of brooklyn’s seating. i was sitting in brooklyn bc i scored an act 2 spot lmao. race says to finch “i don’t polish the tables, THEY do!” and pointed directly at me with a fire in his mf eyes. i was. startled and i also fell in love

going into headcanon territory rq for mush. there was a little joking snippet a while back on jacob’s insta story q&a with mush punching albert in the context of like “who could beat al in a fight”. so like mush might be a bit younger but maybe he’s a good fighter so finch seeing HIM down that badly during the fight…. slay. i just love it. it scares finch so bad. i wanna write the fight from his pov now

anyway gents this weekend we approach my final time of seeing this show (i’ve gone 5 times oops)… but definitely not my final analysis post. thank u for sticking by and giving them a lot of love it’s very cool they’re all under #analysis

#bc now i can evolve my analyses into headcanons woooo #analysis #finch cortes #newsies #newsies uk #fizz freaks #mush meyers #tommy boy #newsies cast #racetrack higgins #josh was like YOU. you. and i was like. if i Was working on newsies i prob would be polishing the dance tables lmao

[the-racer]

albert overheats so easily. like my bro gets heat exhaustion so fast. he chops off the sleeves of all of his shirts because otherwise he will melt. he keeps his hair in two dutch braids because leaving it down is too warm. he stays in the shade, drinks a LOT of water, and keeps the AC blasting forever. he keeps his windows open, goes to bed shirtless, and sometimes uses ice packs.

then finch and him get together and finch has the coldest hands. so he's always touching albert and pressing his hands against albert's face to cool him down.

is there like a google form i can fill out for a new newsies ship

i’ve never seen it before but i think it makes sense and i kinda love it tbh

it’s race x albert x finch

end the discourse between ralbert and redfinch

just like with sprace vs ralbert, create spralbert

also their ship name can be like red robin or something

they can fit so much angst and fluff and they’re chaos boyfriends and i love them all so much
