heyy! what are your top 5 newsies hc's?

Oh this one is hard

David Jacobs is a Polish immigrant and also Jewish, fluent in both Polish and Hebrew as well as English

Romeo somehow befriends absolutely everyone, including the Delanceys. The only person who doesn't like him is Buttons. Buttons likes everyone and he doesn't know why but he just doesn't like Romeo

Elmer finds little things when he's selling (pieces of lace, broken glass that's a cool color, pretty rocks...) and gives them to his friends at the end of the day

Jack started sleeping in the penthouse before he was a newsie by accident- it was the most accessible rooftop at the time and he was a homeless kid who got lucky enough to stumble upon the newsies

I know a lot of people have this hc but Elmer is my special guy and he has a cat named Pierogi who is the ugliest thing you will ever lay your eyes upon, he was found in a dumpster

[i-didnt-do-1t]

hello birdy my beloved. birdloved, if you will. may i pls request “why do you always do this to yourself? i don’t fucking get it..”  with oscar and morris (angel emoji)

<33 I was aiming for Alex Oscar vibes, I do so hope you enjoy

“Mo.”

Morris didn’t turn round, didn’t look at him, kept counting through his pile of papers and even that felt mocking in its own way. Oscar folded his arms as he leant against the wall to his left, hands tucked and non-fisted, not yet.

“Morris.”

He hated it. Hated being ignored, hated that Morris felt like he could ignore him and that it would be fine, felt like he could ignore him and there wouldn’t be consequences. He stood a little straighter, voice a little more raised, not for the benefit of the doubt that Morris couldn’t hear him, because he could, Oscar knew he could, he was just being an asshole and-

“Christ Mo, I mean it-“

“What the hell do you want I’m tryin’ to work. Jesus.”

Oscar’s shoulders fell slightly. “Watch your fuckin’ mouth.”

He could feel Morris rolling his eyes despite the fact he still didn’t turn to him, didn’t look up from the growing pile of newspapers before he tossed another handful to the side, Oscar couldn’t estimate how many.

“What do you think ignorin’ me is gonna get you? Think I’m just gonna walk away-“

“A guy can dream can’t he?”

“Right, whatever you fuckin’ say, Kelly.”

Morris slammed the papers down. Turned to him, finally, and Oscar found some satisfaction in that, not enough because of how Morris glared, annoyance etched in his stance and in his frown, but some.

“What do you want?” Morris asked, and his tone was sharp, exasperated. Like ma’s. “I know you ain’t able to count but some of us is tryin’ get ahead for later on, so it’s easier on you.”

Oscar’s jaw tensed, the flesh of his cheek between his teeth. He exhaled heavily through his nose, letting himself glance away for a moment in an attempt to let some of the heat dissipate. He met Morris’s gaze again.

“This the hill you wanna die on?”

Morris just shrugged, turned back around and let his next words be a mutter, “Least’ I’d be fuckin’ dead.”

Oscar sucked in a breath, and let it out as a scoff, something filled with disbelief. He stared at Morris again, and in the unsettled silence could make out the murmur of numbers as he started counting again, flicking through the papers. Ignoring him.

“Why do you always do this to yourself? I don’t fucking get it.”

The murmurs got louder.

“Mo I asked you a question.”

“You’re gonna make me loose count.”

Oscar didn’t quite realise he moved till he was inches from Morris, the newspapers he had been counting smacked to the ground, the pages quickly eaten by the same mud that coated their shoes, (it was always rough, round winter). He considered how pissed Wiesel would be, considered the issue of how the hell he was going to pay him back for these, but it was only a passing thought, as he met Morris’s gaze, and his blood heated again.

“You think I give a shit if you lose count?”

“Hardly thought you’d notice-“

The shove was rough, and weighted, but not bad enough to make Morris do more than stumble back. Not here, not when the bell needed to be rang in five minutes.

“Wait till we get home.” Oscar said, and the threat was unspoken, but he knew Morris understood, recognised the way his gaze lowered, the way his shoulders tensed. He let his voice drop to something quiet, something bitter. “You fuckin’ do this to yourself.”

So tell me about Wallflower Delancys 👀

CW for talk of abuse, neglect, food issues, homophobia/transphobia, sexism and general toxicity. Minor character death.

Note: My goal with the Delancey’s in this AU is to humanise them and allow them to have a redemption arc of sorts while not erasing or excusing their actions. They grow and mature but are still held accountable for how they acted.

Oscar and Morris may be assholes a lot of the time, but at the end of the day they’re also just two scard kids trying to get by. Two kids who care deeply for each other in a way that’s oddly similar to how the Hattan and Brooklyn Bunches care for each other. They’re brothers and although neither of them know how to express it, they do love each other dearly.

After their mother passed away when they were too young to really remember her, their father started to get angry. And he dumped them in foster care to run off with the military. They experienced a lot of abuse in the foster system at the hands of Snyder. They were taken out of Snyder’s care around the time Jack was brough IN, though they were with him for a couple months. They always sort of felt bitter towards Jack because he’d always kick up such a fuss. He’d often get dragged screaming out of rooms. Laying low was how they survived so they resented Jack for doing the opposite though they also felt sorry for him.

Their dad was discharged a couple years later, came back and took them in again. He ended up being horrendously abusive. He was brutal, a control freak and wouldn’t let them do a lot of things. He’s forced gender roles and toxic masculinity and sexism.

He’d force things like “Boy’s don’t cry.” “Women are baby machines.” “You can’t play with that, it’s a girls toy.” “Don’t hug your guy friends people will think you’re gay” and a lot of other shitty things.

They were forced to call him ‘Sir’. They weren’t allowed to call him dad or pa. If they ‘messed up’ they’d endure intense punishments, like not letting them eat (which resulted in Oscar having a lot of issues with food) shutting them in closets, beating them.

He’s blow up on them at the LITTLEST mistakes. So they’d hide at out at their Uncle Weisel's. But for too long he'll come looking for them.

In school they met a boy named Markus, who went by ‘Dirtmouth’. (An OC). They befriended him quickly, but he only fuled their anger and encouraged their lashing out. Which was the beginning of their toxic friendship and them bullying the Newsies.

I personally HC Morris as the older brother. He’s nineteen while Oscar is eighteen. And they’re stuck to each other like glue. Morris is fearcely protective of Oscar. From a young age he’d always put Oscar first and often forget or straight out refuse to take care of himself, much to Oscar’s distress.

Morris really struggles with school due to multiple learning disabilities and he was held back a year which ended him up in Oscar’s grade. (He was secretly a little relieved because this meant he could keep an eye on his brother easier). He has dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia, so numbers, writing and reading are pretty difficult and he often has to ask Oscar or their Uncle Weisel to help him with it. He’s also Autistic and has ADHD.

Oscar on the other hand is far brighter than he gets credit for. He’s geat at maths and excells in English, so he usually helps Morris out where he can. He’s also Autistic and ADHD and has an anxiety disorder. He’ll sometimes experience verbal shutdowns when upset or overwhelmed and because neither he or Morris know sign, they find it hard to communicate and it can often lead to frustration on both their parts.

Oscar’s the kind of person to get frustrated extremely easily then upset that he is frustrated.

Morris is more the kind to ‘punch the frustration out’.

After they ran away from home, (far later) they ended up getting an apartment together and get a little wobbly cat who they name Bean! Oscar saw a car dump him and took him home.

Oscar hates being touched without warning, but even with warning he’s iffy unless it’s someone he’s comfortable with. He’s easily spooked by loud noises and/or sudden movements, he’s extremely jumpy but usually tries to play it off.

Because of their upbringing and their dads views on the LGBTQ+, Oscar stayed in the closet for years which only added to his frustration and caused him to lash out more. He was terrified that if Morris found out, he’d hate him, but Morris was actually supportive.

Because Oscar is his brother and they only have each other. So they need to stick by each other no matter what.

After Dirtmouth ended up going to far with the bullying, Oscar and Morris sort of realised how messed up everything was. And Oscar was the first to back off. He’d had time to think and mature and he felt awful for everything that happened, so when he got the chance, he tried to apologise. Morris, a couple months later followed.

But I won’t spoil how THAT went.

I’ll say again. All of this is an explanation for how they acted. Not an excuse. I only want to humanise them.

Some little facts in an attempt to humanis them and make them NOT one dimensional bullies?

Morris is a dog person. But doesn’t mind cats.

He is not the best cook but he makes a mean lasagna.

He NEVER has his own clothes, they’re always stolen by Otto and Oscar.

He likes action and superhero movies and likes comics because they’re easier for him to read.

His hands are always covered in bandaids and he sometimes puts silly little kids ones on.

He’s scared shitless of moths.

His handwriting is so messy that it’s near impossible to read. Oscar struggles so much with any notes Morris leaves for him.

Oscar however, has really neat handwriting. It’s really pretty ??

He absolutely loves cats. He’s deadass such an animal lover. But he must pet every cat he meets.

He likes gaming with Morris.

He’s a good cook.

He’s secretly a theatre kid. He loves Oliver !

He’s rarely ever wearing his own clothes. He always steals from Morris.

He’s TERRIFIED of spiders.

the delanceys aren’t even Disney characters at this point. these mfs are Looney Tunes characters. silly as hell but in a good way. they even do the goddamn head bonk when they’re trying to chase someone. and then do it again.

birds around their heads and shit with the bonk sound effect. spirals for eyes for a hot second because they’re dizzy. they’re so goofy. I love them.

and they got beaten by a bunch of kids and teenagers? are you joking me? they’re absolute flapdoodles but I love them.

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.

#newsies #the delancey brothers #the most terrifying thing in the world is seeing how little can separate you from the worst people you know #please feel free to add onto this btw I am awful at getting my thoughts out coherently 👍
