newsies-hit-da-streets:

now that the holiday season is starting here’s a reminder

the jacobs, the delanceys, wiesel, katherine, pulitzer, and i think jack are all jewish

please don’t draw/write them celebrating christmas

thank you

Yes, this, but please if you’re doing any fic rooted in historical canon, while Katherine/Pulitzer are Jewish, Katherine by patrilineal  line,  Pulitzer made a super big deal about renouncing any connection he had to being Jewish 
So he celebrated Christmas, kept a Christian calendar, it’s all because the antisemitism he would’ve faced was worse than not celebrating his holidays if that makes sense? Religion was seen differently, and there even were  lots of records of immigrated Jews celebrating Christmas once they arrived in the states because it was just considered the American thing to do, and assimilation was better than preserving a pure culture

*

Hi Yall, I hope you had a nice winter holiday season and your new year is going splendidly so far! I’ve decided to take this moment to discuss the differences between Katherine and Sarah’s clothes, because there would be A Lot of difference there. So let’s begin today with just Katherine! (Long Post Warning so below the cut) 

Katherine

The First thing she’d put on is a chemise. This would be a sleeveless garment that she’d wear to prevent chafing of her corset. (Any time you see someone wear a corset without something underneath it in a movie, know that that is Wrong. Seriously. Nothing feels good) 

After that would be stockings and shoes (trust me, easier to put on now rather than later) Stockings could be very colorful and have patterns on them! They’d be held up by being tied under or over the knee with garters which were basically wool ribbons. Stockings could be out of silk or cotton or wool. 

Shoes! These would go to a bit above the ankle and provide very good support. She would need a button hook to close them but they’re very easy to put on and take off with practice. 

The next would be a pair of Drawers. These have an open crotch and are worn over the chemise, tying around the waist. 
 

After that would be her corset. Every respectable lady wore one when out in public, and often in her own home as well. (Think of it like a bra, almost every women wears one but you can take it off at home, of course, there are some that don’t just as there were back in the day) The corset would not hurt Katherine.* It was custom made to her, she will be used to it. But changing styles are happening and it is starting to shift from the traditional hourglass style to the later s-bend style. 
*the most she would be able to reduce her waist by is about 3 inches, after that, organs come in to play and they’re not easily moved 

After the corset would most likely come two petticoats, the first would be about knee long, the second would be midway between the bottom of the calf and the ankle. (In the winter these would be made of wool flannel and are very very warm. Layer Layer Layer!) Additionally, they could be very decorated if desired. 

Final Petticoat would be a duster or dust petticoat. This petticoat would be the most commonly washes and many times had a big ruffle that was removable to be washed, it prolonged the life of the garment. Especially if there was any sort of train to the skirt.

Done with the skirts! (For now *evil laugh*) Katherine would be wearing a corset cover. this is basically like a button up tank top. She’d wear this over her corset so that it wouldn’t show through once she put her bodice on. For fancier occasions, they could have ruffles sewn in to act as “bust improvers”

NOW FINALLY COMES THE OUTER LAYERS

A shirtwaist would be worn, basically a blouse, not much to say here. Hers would most likely be out of silk or a fine cotton for the summer while more common ones would be of poorer quality cloth. Also, she probably would have more lace/decoration.

A skirt would then be worn but unfortunately I can’t find any good pictures :((((
Personally though, I think that Katherine would be wearing a suit. It would be professional, low fuss yet also stylish.

For the Meeting with her dad, she probably would have worn a proper dress. A day dress like this would also be a bodice and skirt but they coordinate.

Now Last but not least! A Hat! No respectable women went out without at least something on her head. Decoration was really up to the wearer 

To complete the outfit, gloves would be worn in either a white, brown, or black

And that’s it! I’m sure I missed something! Thank you so much for getting this far and as always, if you have any questions, feel free to send in an ask!
Hugs & Love,
Mod Syd

Love, Davey Masterlist

Warnings: homophobia, fighting, injuries (blood)

A/N: the amount of times I almost accidentally write who Red actually is, is very frustrating haha

Summary: Davey never understood why he wouldn’t come out to his friends. Half of them were just like him, yet he was still scared to admit it outloud. That’s where Red came in, he was scared too.

———————————–

Davey and Oscar stood in the secluded part of the library, both of them arguing back and forth for the majority of the morning. Davey couldn’t believe he was in this situation. A few weeks ago he’d never even talked to Oscar, and now they were both arguing over his secret identity that no one else knew about except for Red.

“Maybe if you were a nicer guy she’d say yes.” Davey explained, earning a glare from Oscar. A gasp left Davey’s mouth when his back hit one of the bookshelves, Oscar’s face only inches away from his. 

“You have two days Jacobs. Two days, or everyone will know.” Oscar spat in his face before shoving him back against the shelf, leaving Davey standing there in shock. 

There was no way Davey would be able to convince Sarah to go out with Oscar in two days. Davey pushed himself off the shelves, grabbing his backpack off the floor and he started to make his way to class with his thoughts spinning around in his head. He didn’t have to think much longer, a commotion in the hall drawing his attention away from his class when he saw a group of kids gathered around with some cheering. 

Davey pushed his way to the front, freezing in place when he saw what was happening. There his friend laid limp on the floor as a few guys were kicking the life out of him, a pool of blood already on the floor. Davey stared in shock and horror, the fight only being ended when the school’s security came to pull everyone apart, Davey’s friend being rolled out in a stretcher. The whole rest of his day Davey was stuck with the image in his head, and he was filling with fear with each passing second.

It hadn’t been until dinner that Davey actually started acting normal, feeling safer, but not fully safe, in his own home. He picked at his food, not paying attention to any of the conversations. No one noticed he was quiet, usually he’d stay that way during dinner, only wanting to listen to everyone’s day, but once Sarah started talking about that morning, he couldn’t help but give his full attention.

“A fight happened at school today.” She explained making everyone look at her. “Some guys were beating on Race for being gay, he had to be carried out of the school.” She continued and Davey’s dad shook his head.

“That Anthony never learns. His parents have talked to him about the clothes he wears. He brought it upon himself.” Mr. Jacobs explained making Davey’s blood boil. “If a boy is going to go around dressing in girls clothes, then he should expect it to turn a few heads.” He continued, pushing Davey over the edge.

“Just because Race likes to wear girls clothes doesn’t give anybody the right to touch him, and you have no right to judge him if you weren’t there!” Davey exclaimed.

“David.” Mrs. Jacobs warned but Davey shook his head.

“He’s my friend! He didn’t deserve to be treated that way no matter what he was wearing. If no one came to get him they would have killed him. You didn’t see how he looked, but I did, there was nothing okay with that. He doesn’t deserve to die because you think people who dress like him deserve to be treated like crap.” Davey explained, his voice shaking as he stood up, leaving his untouched food on the table and his chair left pushed out while he made his way to his room, ignoring his father’s calls after him.

A few days had passed and Davey still couldn’t get the picture of Race out of his head. There was a school assembly on what had happened, and Davey couldn’t help but think of it. Half way through the assembly it hit Davey that he hadn’t been messaging Red, and he pulled out his phone, quickly typing a message.

Subject: Parents

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] 

Hey, Red I have to apologize for not talking in the past few days. Did you see what happened Monday morning? I hope you didn’t, I think it’s the worst thing I’ve seen in my entire life. To make things worse my dad heard about it and actually blamed it on what the guy was wearing. I really don’t think I’m coming out to them now. - SomebodyNobody

Davey shuddered at the memory, placing his phone back on his lap until it buzzed again.

Subject: re:Parents

From: [email protected] To: [email protected]

I heard about it, but I can’t imagine even seeing it, I hope it wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be. I hope you’re feeling better, Nobody. - Red

Before Davey could get a response his attention was pulled back to the stage, his eyes bugging out at what was on the screen. He’d been too busy with his own things he forgot the two days were up the day before, his worst nightmare staring him in the face.
