quick life update:

i’m a senior in highschool and i’ve been crazy busy between school, theatre, and auditioning for college.

i got into a lot of great theatre schools but i’m finalizing my decision soon hopefully. I plan to get a BFA in Production so that I can stage manage and audition for shows but teach theater in my later life.

My senior show “Big Fish” has been postponed to July due to Covid-19. I’m supposed to play The Witch.

Before Covid, I had just finished being stage manager for a run of Mary Poppins and it was my favorite show I’ve every teched for.

So yeah, I’m alive and might try to be more active here since quarantine is gonna be a thing for a hot minute.

[avocado-anon]

Update my senior show and prom were both canceled. BUT IM STILL GOING TO COLLEGE

[avocado-anon]

Newsies x Reader Preferences Head-Canons

Hey, guess who decided to post twice in one day? Okay, but I haven’t done head-canons in a v long time, so don’t expect these to be good, okay? Also I accidentally deleted my “go follow @your-lover-crutchie” post when I meant to edit it so I’m mad. So, go follow her. Anyways, hope this is the request, “kissing the Newsies hc’s”. Here we go!

—————————————————————————————————-

Davey

- let’s be honest, Davey does not have any experience whatsoever with kissing

-the poor boy has no idea what to do

-at first, he just presses his lips against yours, and he just stays there?

-and you tell him that he can move them

-he’s very flustered lemme tell you

-but when he gets confident??

-whoo, you better watch out

-Les and the boys have definitely caught you both making out, and they will never let go of it

-you could be reading a book, and he’d be like “hey, wanna make out?”

Race

- now I know what y’all are thinking

- Race is an experienced kisser

- and I hate to break it to you guys, but that’s w r o n g

-okay, the last person he kissed, was in fourth grade, in a game of spin the bottle

-so when you both start dating, he gets nervous

- you’re on your sixth date, and you’ve known him for a while so you’re v confused

-he finally opens up and tells you he’s nervous, so you tell him you’ll figure it out 

-and when he does…

- the boy kisses you anywhere and everywhere

-he likes kisses long and slow (that was gross I’m so sorry to the anon who requested this)

Jack

- Jack Kelly has been around the block (ew I hate myself for saying that)

-he loves giving sweet kisses

-long or short he doesn’t care

- they’re kinda rough? but they’re passionate so you don’t really care

-this one’s kinda short sorry bout that

Albert

- he’s very cheeky

-he always will smile into kisses, cause he’s so happy

-he forces you to try the Spider-Man kiss

-he’s such a dork okay?

-the other boys will tease you guys

-but when he does kiss you in front of the boys?

-they start leaving the room, cause they know that it’s bound to get heated sooner or later

JoJo

-JoJo always gives very sweet kisses

-he loves to kiss you

-the boys always wolf whistle, when he gets confident enough to kiss you in front of them

-he loves to kiss you goodbye (it’s more like making out, but he won’t give in to confessing that okay?)

-will mumble “I love you” against your lips

-he just loves you so much 

Crutchie

-he’ll always ask for permission

-asks for tips from Jack

-he l o v e s  butterfly kisses

-giving or getting he doesn’t care

-he’s so precious okay?

Elmer

- he loves to kiss your knuckles

- he also loves it when you kiss his temples

- he’s very blushy when you guys kiss

-you can always feel his cheeks heat up

- it’s adorable

Spot

- Spot is a freaking tease

- he will always look at your lips, and come close near your face, and then he’ll be like

- “Hi”

-gets you every time

- he loves to kiss you roughly and passionate

-is not afraid to kiss you in front of the boys

-even though, he’s shown he’s gone soft for you

me dancing with any man

[avocado-anon]

funny story

i had to choreograph and perform a partner dance recently. but i’m so used to standing in for the man or teaching choreography to others that i kept holding out my hand for my partner to rest his in. and he would literally turn my hand in order to properly grab it.

my directors couldn’t stop teasing me about it.
