blink hcs pleaseee

NEWSIES HEADCANONS (Blink edition)

1. He has scars all over him, especially over his back. No matter how much convincing he will not undress I front of the other newsies because he's embarrassed about it.

2. He is the SNARKIEST ever to the bulls, he always has a come back or a way to piss them off 😭 (in a deleted scene when the officer was like "I've got my eye on you kid." And he was like "Don't worry ill keep mine on you too.")

3. If he's getting attacked or jumped, he will just pull up his eye patch, flash them for a second, and run whilst they're in shock.

4. When he laughs hard, he goes completely silent and smacks things

5. Evil mfer, he's always plotting something... everybody knows that mischievous glint in his eyes when he gets an idea 😭

6. Him and Jack are a mean girl duo, they tag team off each other to become the biggest haters ever. They go way too far and say the most diabolical stuff. Like a random man will walk past, and Blink will just yell, "OMG, HES HUGE." bacuse he has no filter at all. 😭

7. He is SO bad for swearing. He curses like every other word. He always gets yelled at because of the little kids around.

8. Blink had trust issues from his previous family life, so when Jack scabbed, he is still salty about it to this day and won't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Jack will say, "I had pancakes thus morning." And Blink will just be like , "no you didn't."

9. He has a secret bottle of whisky under his bed for when he's feeling devious

10. He is a big fan of dogs and really wants a border collie when he gets his own house.

Send me any headcanons you have and I'll react to them 😜😜😜

some javid headcanons if you ship them maybe!!

NEWSIES HEADCANONS (javid edition)

1. Sometimes davey will mock jacks accent, like he'll randomly switch to a THICK New York accent if the sentence Jack said also had a heavy accent.

2. When Davey tries to teach Jack English and other school subjects, Jack has no motivation, Davey said that every time he got one right, they can kiss. Jack started studying harder than ever

3. They have very stereotypical sleepovers, the ones where they stay up giggling all night and start giggling even harder when someone tells them to shut up and go to sleep.

4. Jack has a STARING problem, like every time Davey looks over Jacks eyes are glued to him.

5. People third wheel their dates all the time, wether it's Mush or Crutchie, people just don't seem to take the hint.

6. Everyone teases Davey for being "the walking mouth" and talking too much, but Jack just let's him waffle and never tells him to stop.

7. Dark humour versus regular humour. Jack will randomly say something really dark and laugh whilst Davey stares at him in horror.

8. On the way to Daveys House he will pick every stray flower that he sees to give it to him.

9. They take it in turns to pull each other into a nearby alley way during selling to kiss/cuddle for a few mins.

10. When Davey stays at the lodging house and he shares a bed with Jack, because the beds are tiny, Davey has to pretty much sleep on top of Jack. Once they decided to swap the roles and Davey got squished.

Please give me Any headcanon/fic requests you would want to see 🩷☔️

BLUSH ONESHOT

Walking Ray of sunshine

It was a Friday, a warm, sunny Friday. The sun had gotten to the boys before kloppman could, which influenced the boys out of bed rather than forced. Which was always a monumental help for motivation. Blink was happy. He always rested better in the warmth, so he wasn't exhausted, unlike in the winter when the cold seemed to shake him awake. The cold water from the shower was a relief rather than a burden, and his hair had dried the exact way he wanted it. He was practically radiating happiness.

"Hey, blinks." He felt someone gently clap him on the back before walking into the shower. He didn't even have to turn to acknowledge who it was. In a weird way, you could just sense Mush. His kind and cheeky aura made it seem as if he was glowing,he was impossible to miss. The two boys dressed together, and Blink couldn't help but look down at Mushes toned body. Many of the other news boys envied the way he looked. It was damn near impossible to keep yourself from withering away at the worst of times, yet somehow Mush had managed to not only keep himself unmalnurished but physically fit. It drove Blink insaine, and he couldn't stop thinking about it...its because he's jealous. Or so he told himself.

The roar of talkative and loud newsies echoed through the streets as they barrelled their way to pick up their papes.

"And then Jack was all like 'on me back mush', and I was like..." The rest of it drowned out ad Blink stared doe-eyed at mush. Only he could take such an unfunny joke and laugh about it till tears appeared in his eyes. He silently thought it was adorable. He found humour and good nature in everything he did, the optimistic views other dreary newsies could only dream of having. Blink had never admired characteristics more, Mush tended to brighten the room. Like a walking Ray of sunshine, Blink quietly thought before putting that comprison in his brain files.

"Race, Ise aint seen ya all mornin'!" Mush chirped before pulling race into a big hug. Another noticeable thing about Mush is that he is very touchy,he seemed to find comfort in physical contact and becomes a big teddy bear whenever he felt a lack of it. Blink was a stranger to any physical comfort before he met Mush , however, he quickly learned to adore it.

They lined up and bought their papers, due to Blinks' good feeling about today he bought 70, and Mush bought his usual 80. The boys split up to sell their papes, and it was a breeze. The hyperbolic headline made it so much easier to hawk. They practically flew out of the boys hand as family on summer walks strolled past and felt particularly happy and generous on this gorgeous summer day. Both boys had sold out by just after lunch, leaving them with the whole day to frolick and endeavour in varies activities.

"Youse finished sellin' too?" Blink asks, walking up behind Mush after he spotted him not too far off central park.

"Yeah, headline was even more good than yesterday."

Blink bit back a smile.

"The headline was BETTER than yesterday."

"That's what ise said?"

"No, it ain't."

"Um, yes, it is."

"No youse said 'more good' that ain't right."

"Ise aint even say that, that's false adver-atisement." Mush struggled to get the last word out.

"Ad-ver-tise-ment." Blink sounded out.

"That's what ise said!" Mush giggled,clearly doing this on purpose.

"Youse annoying." Blink crossed his arms and leant against the wall in mock frustration.

"Ise even more good at annoying youse today!" A cheeky grin spread across mushs face as he waited for a reaction.

"Oh shaddap will ya." At that mush snatched blinks cap right off his head and bolted.

"Hey!" Blink laughed before chasing after him. The two boys ran around like a cat and a mouse. Both were manically cackling to themselves as they swerved around people, and over crates, they ran into central park. The long, bright grass gently caressing their ankles as they foolishly played and ran. Mush looked back to see if the other was catching up. When he saw so sign of his one-eyed friend, he turned back around and BANG.

Blink had stood in front of mush, expecting him to run into him and to be able to swipe the hat back. However, mush had come in with considerably more force than expected, sending the two toppling over onto the grass.

"Are you okay?" Mush choked out before both boys burst into hysterical laughter and wheezes. When Blink made another grab for the hat, they wrestled and tussled on the floor for a while before Mush placed the hat on his head and pinned Blinks wrists to the floor. Blink squirmed and tried to pry his arms off the floor, but it proved unsuccessful as Mush just beamed down at him, looking as if he's barely trying.

"Get off!" Blink said through gritted teeth as he used all of his power to sit up. He was fairly close this time, but the stronger boy kept his grip tight and unforgiving.

"Naw this is too funny!" Mush snickered.

"No, it ain't, I'll soak ya!" Blink was obviously only joking.

"How's youse gonna do that when ise so much stronga?" Much said in a teasing tone.

"No ya ain't."

"so then why are youse on your back?"

Blink began to struggle again, after a few close attempts he flopped back into the grass, defeated.

"Fine youse win.'

Mush hummed happily and let go, then lay down next to blink on his back. The warm summer sun was yet to dim. The beams of the sun hit them on the face and yanked a whole new type of happiness out of the pair. The soft grass was far too comfy, and they both wanted to stay there forever.

"It ain't fair, youse shredded." Blink whined

"Ya know, its think I could dead lift you."

"Mush do not, I swear to- MUSH!" Blink shrieked in surprise as he was swiftly lifted off the grass by one arm and one leg. The nerves and surprise made him giggle uncontrollably, which made Mush not want to put him down

"Ready...one...two...three..." Mush counted as he curled Blink, lifting him higher off the ground every time.

"Put me down!" Blink laughed, wanting to wriggle but too scared of being dropped.

"Okay, dont get ya panties in a twist."

He set Blink back on his feet just to find that his own left the floor almost instantly after. Blink picked him up bridal style, definitely not how to dead lift but he didn't have to know that.

"Mys turn."

"Youse doin' it wrong." Mush giggled.

"Then how am ise suposta do it?' Mush didn't answer, just laughed.

"Youse even more bad at this than wrestling."

Blinks face dropped and went stone cold, and then an evil glimmer in his eye appeared, which scared mush.

"Youse going for a swim."

Mush immediately clocked the pond sitting in the middle of the park. He squealed as nervous laughs took hold of him as he thrashed around whilst Blink slowly approached the water.

"Ise don't wanna get wet!" He snorted as he managed to throw Blink off balance, which sent them yet again, on the floor.

"That was NOT funny." Mush gasped

Blink tried to repress the bubble of laughter in his throat. However, he couldn't swallow it down. He began to cackle and wheeze. Mush just lay there staring, feeding off the laughter and admiring the boys wide smile and frantic giggles with big lovey-dovey eyes and the most love sick smile ever.

"Youse beautiful ya know." Mush placed a soft kiss into blinks lips and his hat back onto his head.

"And you -" He picked a daisy and placed it behind Mushs ear, "Are a walking ray of sunshine."

Please I think this is such an underrated ship

Would anyone be interested in reading the start of an Angsty Bumswiftery fic I am doing? Angsty as in 'we are dating but no one knows' and also 'someone is gravely injured'

some jack based headcanons!!

NEWSIES HEADCANONS (Jack edition)

1. When he sleep talks he does it in a texan accent

2. He never puts his hat down because if he does one of the younger newsies will take it and start playing cowboys

3. If there is a mirror or any reflective surface, he is looking at it #selfobssessedking

4. He tried to gamble once and lost to race, and now he's strictly against it and will never do it again because "Race cheated"

5. Once, he created a fake scenario of himself as a cowboy in his head and accidentally shouted one of the lines out loud and everybody teases him about it

6. Will NOT eat vegetables

7. Compulsive liar (this one's lowkey cannon) after it was found out that he was lying, the newsies never really believed anything he said after. When talking about it, they're like, "If it came from Jack, take it with a pinch of salt"

8. Is the biggest gossip ever, but if u talk about him then its "childish" (me core)

9. Tells story's for the whole lodging house to listen too

10. Still sees spot as his baby brother even though spot is technically in charge of him

another head cannon cause I got nothin better to do.

Looks like a cinnamon roll, could kill you – Race

Looks like he would kill you, would kill you – Spot

like that one scene from the movie where spot holds race back and then tries to soak jack. but also, if spot goes down, you better run cause race is about to go absolutely feral. they dont call him race for no reason. yes he likes the races, but he's also fast as hell

sorry but sprace and javid have carved their way into my heart

Real that scene is so funny because spots all like nooo dont fight, then 2 mins later, he's trying to scrap jack 😭

Sprace,javid and blush are my fav 🩷

Omg did they really say that

For anyone who needs this:

They're prouddd

uhhhh something something crutchie centric??

NEWSIES HEADCANONS (Crutchie edition))

1. He is the most freckled person ever, like he is just coated in freckles.

2. He's a naturally quiet person until he laughs, when he does its full throttle and SO loud. He can't control it

3. His laugh is WAY funnier than the joke, he sounds like a duck 😭

4. His main selling point is by the old people's home, old people just seem to love him and find him adorable so he makes the most profit there

5. He REFUSES to swear, and on the very rare occasion he does he will check around him like its illegal or something

6. His arm he holds the Crutch in is really strong due to holding himself up, once the lodging house was having arm wrestling competitions and everyone was so shocked by his strength

7. Before he chose the name crutchie he was called "bambi" because he looks like a little deer

8. Once, when he was absaloutly exhausted, he let Jack carry him to his bed. They're not allowed to talk about it. EVER.

9. Due to his Crutch he looks shorter than he actually is, so once in a while he leans against something and stands fully upright to remind everyone that he's tall

10. He admires races unpredictability and how exiting his life sounds. Every day, he waits up for race to get back so he can hear about all the crazy shit he did that day

headcannon of mine: when race gets sick, he becomes everyones worst nightmare. he refuses to believe he is sick until he passes out on his feet. he gets pissy with everyone over the smallest thing and, unlike his usual self, he will turn into a cold hearted bitch that even the toughest newsies try to avoid cause he will fuck you up bad enough that you cant see straight for weeks.

when spot gets sick, his personality swaps. he will silently cry over things and it breaks the hearts of the other brooklyn newsies. for the time he is sick, he reggresses back to his childhood thinking and isnt lucid enough to realise, no that isnt his mum, its hotshot who's now whispering "imtooyoungforkidsimtooyoung-" over and over.

anyways sorry for the ramble.

That is SO true omg 😭

Race would deffo be like "Guys I'm fiiiiine" as he's being carried back to the boarding house my jack 😭

Spot would be so embarrassed after too, like he gets proper man flu. It's only a head cold and he's acting as if he's been shot 💀

NEWSIES HEADCANONS (part 2)

1. Race is terrified of fish, so when he's being annoying, spot will dangle him off the harbour over the water to "let the fish get him," and he freaks out every time

2. When Jack is annoying tf out of davey, he will grab his suspenders, pull them, and let go so they smack him (if u get what I'm trying to say 😭)

3. Races lucky card is the 8th of diamonds and he carries it around in his pocket

4. Mush CONSTANTLY steals Blinks hat off his head and runs away with it, thinking it's the funniest thing ever

5. Crutchie and race are constantly getting told off by kloppman because once its lights out, they get the giggles and can't stop😭

6. Mush the typa guy to find EVERYTHING funny, like he is so easily amused and easy to make laugh

7. Skittery is really unpredictable, like he'll be like "Guys watch this," and just jump into the splits or something 😭

8. Because spot has a common dog name, race always makes fun of it by throwing a stick for him and calling him "Good boy," and he gets SO mad

9. Skittery deffo twists every word ever said it to him to make the person look bad. Somebody would be like "omg this apple is huge." And he's be like "did u just say I'm huge?" When he heard them FINE 😭

10. When spot has someone he doesn't like join his crew he gives them a horrible nickname like "spunk" or something 😭

(If u have any specific headcanon requests tell me)

Just put them in the little ask me anything box on my page that nobody ever uses 🔥

Annoying little brothers

Notes: I changed some of the ages around, race-13, crutchie- 14, jack- 16

Today was a good day for crutchie. It had been one of those days where papes practically flew out of his hand, he hadnt had to change the headline and the sun was prominant and warm since dawn therefore eliminating any joint problems in his leg. This put people in a cheery mood, letting him keep the change and offering him any spare food they did not want. Not to mention that it had been his birthday a few days prior, and he had been gifted an old, tattered notebook along with a comedically worn down and tiny pencil.

So there he was, sat lazily on his bunk with his legs crossed and the stupidest fuzzy feeling in his chest he got whenever he felt joy. He had the notebook in his hand where he was neatly drawing various shapes. He was concentrating so hard his tongue was sticking half out of his mouth.

"What is ya doin'?" Race chirped as he flopped back on to the mattress.

"Havin' a tea party." Crutchie half-heartedly responded, far to infactuated with his square having perfectly straight lines.

"Wow yous a funny one arnt ya." Race rolled his eyes and twisted his cigar in his mouth.

"I try." Crutchie barely had time to respond before race crawled up the bed and sat between his now open legs, with his back to crutchies chest. Race let his head roll onto the taller boys shoulder and looked up at him with big, chocolate brown eyes. Crutchie forced an angry look on his face, he squinted his eyes and furrowed his brows, pulling his lips tightly across his face.

"Get off." He tried to say in a low rumbly tone but his duck-like voice did not help him there.

Race guffawed and bit his lip,the next minute, he was in hysterical laughter. It was so infectious that crutchie began to laugh aswell, they sat there in a hysterical state, both boys trying to get words out but failing by being overtaken by giggles.

"Crutch- Ise can't - yous look so funny - nahahahhahahaha." Race forced these words out, but the giggles bubbling up in his throat had popped and spewed out his mouth. After a while, the laughter had died down, but the boys still had wide smiles plastered cross their faces and were now in a very giggly mood.

"What are ya laughin' at?" Jack called from across the room.

"Nothin." Both boys replied at the exact same time before turning to each other and exploding into another laughing fit.

"Hmmm." Jack raised his eyebrow suspiciously before turning back to his conversation with blink and mush.

They went back to drawing, and crutchie in his giggle-ridden and silly state decided that it would be extremely humorous to draw an ugly monster. He gave it a massive round stomach, with legs that stuck out in the wrong direction, feet that were longer than the body as a whole, and a grimey, discombobulated face. Race and crutchie were giggling quietly every time a new feature was added, both quite amused by themselves. Then, race snatched the pencil and drew a little cowboy hat on the creature along with an arrow that pointed to the word "Jack." The boys made eye contact before breaking into the most insaine and psychotic laughing fit anyone in that boarding house had ever heard. They were practically screaming, race bad tears brimming in his eyes, and crutchie was holding his aching sides.

"Seriously guys, what is so damn funny?" Jack asked sounding strict, yet the way the corners of his mouth were slightly curling ruined his authority persona.

Crutchie panicked at the sound of jacks voice and quickly slammed the book shut.

"Ah-um nothing." He stammered unconvincing.

He tried to read Jack's face, but his eyes were glued to the book. He brushed his blonde hair out of his eyes and proceeded to calmly walk up to them. They both froze in fear, but those silly smiles just would not budge.

"Give me the book crutch." Jack asked gently, holding his hand out. Unfortunately for cutchie, he made eye contact with race, which for some god-dammed reason made the both of them giggle manically and hide their red, embarrassed faces.

"Give. Me. The. Book." Jack demanded getting a little too close for their liking.

Crutchie scrambled off the bed, desperately reaching for his Crutch just to be swooped up and gently placed on the floor by Jack. They then began to wrestle on the floor, tossing and turning, trying to get the upper hand. All the while, both of them chucking brightly. After a few minutes jack decided he'd had enough of pretending to lose and swiftly flipped them,pinning one of crutchies arms onto the floor. The book still clutched tightly in the other. He frantically looked around for an escape hatch. (Which he did not find)

"Race catch!" He called out before lugging the book in races' direction. The boy still engulfed in giggles from watching his brothers fight on the floor, supringingly caught the book, and quickly hid it behind his back.

"Give me the book race." Jack said in a teasy tone standing over race. Compared to Jack-or just about anyone really- race was tiny, Jack quite literally TOWERED over him like a sky scraper. Race gave him the best puppy dog eyes he could, the no-please-dont-arrest-me look he usually gave to the bulls. He beamed cutely up at his big brother.

"What book Jackie?" He asked innocently not breaking his gaze.

Jack smiled down into his little brothers huge,dark, pleading eyes.

"You know that look only works on me when you're not being a little shit."

Race bolted. Sure, Jack was stronger, but he was faster. He weaved in and out of the bunks, even jumping over a few of the bottom bunks(with jack following close behind),they ran around the washing area as the whole room stared at them, all just as curious of what could possibly be in the book. He saw the door to the hallway, freedom he was almost there, he was going to make it- THUD.

Blink had stuck his leg out from where he was sat and had race trip over it, crashing to the floor. Book strapped by his arms to his chest. He landed only a few spaces away from crutchie, who was still lay there, exhausted from his earlier efforts.

"You've got nowhere else to run. Give it to me." Jack said smugly. Race wanted to smack that look right off Jack's face. He tried to crawl away but felt himself being lifted off the floor and thrown over jacks shoulder. He shrieked in surprise and dropped the book.

"Now, was tha' so hard?" Jack flicked through the first few pages of squiggles and shapes. The two younger boys were nervously giggling, and race was squirming around trying to loaen jacks grip. Then he got to. The page. He made a little choaked sound and stared in horror. The laughing intensified, and now they were high-pitched cackling uncontrollably. In jacks gob-smacked state, Mush was able to grab the book and show the remaining of the inquisitive boys. The room erupted into henious laughter from all the boys.

"Ise wouldn't havtha peisonally." Specs called dramatically. An evil grin spread across jacks seemingly shocked face.

He placed race down next to crutchie, so they were lying, back to the floor right next to eachother. They were no longer laughing, they were just terrified. They shared a nervous glace before looking up at Jack. They were completely and utterly at his mercy.

"Any last words?" Jack asked putting a firm hand on each of them to keep them station.

"Uhhhh...its a different Jack?" Race asked flashing a terrified smile.

The evil glint in jacks eyes did not dissipate. He began to mercilessly tickle his younger brothers. They both squaked and dissolved into frantic cackles and squeales.

"Yous think yous so funny, well I'll give ya somethin' to laugh about!"

"HAHAHA JACK IM SORR- HAHAHA BLINK I HATE YOU!" Race roared in laughter.

"Oops." Bink sighed, staring at the ripped out picture of Jack. He took the gum out of his mouth and used it to hang the picture right above jacks bed.

NEWSIES HEADCANONS:

1. Mush is literally the CLINGIEST person EVER, like if he likes you, that's it,he is physically latched onto you whenever you're around.

2. When race goes to see spot in his lodging house (he has to climb to up to a window so nobody sees), he always calls spot a princess in a tower and it drives him INSAINE.

3. Skittery is the typa guy to just randomly start laughing and giggling hysterically out of nowhere, and everybody just kinda stares at him (he's a little insaine, but that's okay)

4. Davey was on the debate team when he was at school, but his speeches were always too long, and he got frustrated when he couldn't get his point across fast enough ao he quit (that happened to me)

5. After almost every race, Race goes down and tries to convince the owner to let him go pet the horses,they only said yes once and he won't let it go

6. In Brooklyn, if somebody is refusing to get out of bed in the morning spot will literally just pick them up and throw them off the docs into the water outside 😭

7. Davey and his dad have the most unbreakable bond ever.

8. Jack picks up on 'fancy' words davey uses and then uses them incorrectly when talking.

9. Crutchie is the WORST sleep talker ever. He just babbles in his sleep but doesn't say anything that makes sense

10. Blink has no filter at all. The first thing that comes into hisbdead is said out loud. Good or bad.
