The younger newsies are scared of the DeLanceys because, well, they're scary. They're mean, spiteful, they tease and threaten and the older ones tell them to keep clear of the brothers.
The older newsies are scared because they know that they could just as easily have ended up back there, carted out from the Refuge to end up shoving papers roughly into kid's chests and running a finger idly over their brass knuckles at the soonest sign of trouble. Any kid with a younger sibling shivers every time they see Oscar move to protect Morris, every kid with an awful dad hates that they flinch at any mention of a father too.
The DeLanceys are people it is easy to become. That's scarier than threats and punches.
let me make one thing very clear right now- if you are planning on leaving the newsies fandom because the show is closing, no you fucking aren’t. nope. not allowed. sit down. we aren’t fucking quitters, coward. some of us had been here for YEARS before uksies showed up, and then didn’t even get to see the goddamn show. this isn’t the end of the world. go watch a slime tutorial on youtube. cry a little bit. we will be fucking fine, and you’d better not be going anywhere now, so help me god.

A collection of pictures of Anthony Norman and Devin Lewis as Delanceys because I’m tired of there being none 🫶🏻
Theres a lot less of Morris by himself because hes not in view of the camera as much as Os 😭💔 but pls Enjoy and feel free to use these for all of your Delancey needs
idk if it’s been talked about before but the uksies costuming choices for the delancey’s is so important to me
instead of clean white shirt, ties, everything buttoned, different hats etc they’re dirtier, open waistcoats, flat caps, the same types of shirts as the newsies and the way it puts them on the same visual level as them is 🤌
in livsies they visibly match weasel more, and even pulitzer and the other adults, and it elevates them to a level above the newsies that they’re not actually on. the way they’re not distinguishable from them perfectly establishes the class split and how they’re not that much better of than them, and are the definition of just doing what they’re told. they’re not better off than the newsies, they just hold on to the little power they have over them next to what everyone else has above the two of them and I’m just very obsessed with the visual establishment of that
