Please note this blog has a big TW for cursing (but other than that, I try to keep everything family-friendly).

This is primarily a blog about Broadway musicals, although I will reblog random shit from time to time.

So far, I’ve listened to:

Newsies (both 92sies and Livesies)

Mean Girls

Heathers

Wicked (I saw this one live on Broadway right before COVID)

The Lightning Thief

Beetlejuice

Six

Hamilton

Tuck Everlasting

Legally Blonde

Beauty And The Beast

The Little Mermaid

Dear Evan Hansen

Aladdin

Mamma Mia!

The Prom

Hadestown

West Side Story

Anastasia

Into The Woods

Addams Family

Matilda

The Sound of Music

The Wiz

Frozen

Les Miserables

The Phantom Of The Opera

Hairspray

This is where I post headcanons, incorrect quotes, and writing (primarily about Newsies, as that is my favorite (as you can probably tell from my blog’s aesthetic))

A guide to navigating my blog is under the cut!

How to find things on my blog:

The ‘ask aster‘ tag is where I have ask games and answer questions!

Anything tagged ‘dogsies‘ is related to the Dogsies AU that my sisters and I came up with. In this AU, the newsies are dogs in an animal shelter run by Kloppman.

Anything tagged ‘invisible string‘ is related to the Invisible String AU (alternate name, Hell Was The Journey But It Brought Me Heaven). This AU is based on Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. In this AU, Jack and Davey are an angel and a demon trying to stop the apocalypse.

The ‘we’ll stay young forever‘ tag is another AU of my own creation. It’s a Newsies x Tuck Everlasting crossover AU where Jesse Tuck (AKA Crutchie) is forced to give Jack water from the magic spring in order to keep him alive, and chaos ensues.

Search for a specific ship like Javid or Sprace to find everything I’ve posted about that ship.

Contrary to popular belief, I do post about stuff other than Newsies. Search a specific musical to find everything I’ve posted about that musical!

The ‘aster writes‘ tag is where I post my writing! Oneshots and short stories go here!

"crystallizedtwilight" is for posts reblogged from @crystallizedtwilight, one of my absolute FAVORITE artists here on Tumblr. (She does a lot of Sprace art, so if you're looking for that, check this tag!)

I have low-key giving up on tagging things cuz I'm apathetic and the only reason this blog is still up and running is because of the queue function so uhhhhhhh good luck finding shit now lol

you know how some of the newsies have nicknames and some don't? what if they have a little ceremony like the greasers do in grease got a hold? like the younger newsies go by their names, but when they hit a certain point theres like a little ritual where they get their nickname. they can choose to not get a nickname but most do. race teases albert by threatening to give him a really stupid name, while mike and ike have decided its funnier to keep their names. elmer and henry are really anxious about when its their turns, but jojo can't wait.

Spot Conlon will never be a cis man to me

Spot is either a trans man or a woman (trans or cis idc)

i could rock with enby or any other gender Spot too just not a cisgender man

Race is such a good gambler not because he can hide his emotions but because he can't. When someone first plays against him they expect him to be so easy because his emotions are written all over his face and then when they lose they're like what the f***?

Races face is constantly shifting expressions too so reading them half the time is like nearly impossible. Everyone thinks it's a pattern at first so they do everything, they try to match his expressions to their moves, they lose. They do the opposite, they lose. They do a mix and they lose.

They don't understand that Race's mind is going 20 miles per minute and his face can't hide that. His ADHD has him in some lala land while half of Brooklyn lodging is 20 games deep in trying to figure him out. Race does know how to lock in when needed and then continues to throw off the newsies.

He is one of the hardest newsies to play with because of it. When it comes to betting hes pretty good but not as great, as we see in the movie, but it's when hes playing hes unbeatable. I swear at some point different boroughs were sending their best gambling newsies to try and beat him and each time he walked out with more money in his pocket.

The draw back is either Spot or Jack, sometimes both, always have to be there when he plays. Some newsies don't take to kind to losing to a kid and accuse him of cheating. To make sure Racer doesnt get soaked they keep the boys in line. Jack doesnt need his kid brother hurt and Spot would die before he let someone else's wounded pride put a hand on Racetrack.

hey genuine question— I have seen a lot of hate for (CANON btw) female spot conlon and I *genuinely* can not think of a single reason as to why hate for her exists?

like— does anyone know the reasoning behind this? I can’t see it as anything but misogynist…

[starlitink]

I'd like to present an alternate reading of What Is This Feeling? from Wicked that is neither about lesbianism nor rivalry:

Both Galinda and Elphaba just have undiagnosed POTS.

Rewatching some Newsies boots and I'm starting to think Corey Cott might be my favourite Jack. There's this horrible (/pos) intensity to how he speaks, despite sounding so, so nervous at the same time. And that thousand yard stare he always has, just.. ughh, this guy has seen shit. Horrible shit no child should have to. You can tell he's trying to hide his trauma but it runs so deep that he just can't do it, it's plain that something fucking horrible has happened to this poor kid.
