#once and for all

[asteroid-yuri]

listening to “once and for all” from newsies on full volume with my headphones is not enough, I need it to utterly consume and ruin me and also I need a gun.

You gotta love some newsies

What Radicalized you? Being a Theater Kid.

Newsies told us that we can come together and make a change, even if it takes a while.

Hadestown taught us that love can do a lot, but love put in the wrong places hurts people.

Wicked told us that we have to accept ourselves and stand up for what we believe is right.

Theater has always been about telling stories and making stories accessible to people. It's time to listen and take to the streets once and for all.

every time I listen to once and for all and that key change hits? I literally get the biggest chills of my life.

literally it’s a musical masterpiece. Mr Menken deserves his flowers for that recomposition.

NEWSIES RANT like what 3? 4?

Once and for all is such a powerful song I don’t know how to describe it. The lyrics and the way it’s sung. And the meaning. Makes it so gut wrenching but powerful all at the same time. Cause why do I wanna fight the revolution and bawl my eyes out at the same exact time. One of the best songs in newsies hands down maybe even my number 1

[make-friends-with-the-rats]

I know that the stage version of once and for all is really popular but personally I really dislike the lyrics changes and the change in tone

I think the original version of the song really did well in emphasizing the comradery among the newsies and the other child workers, the lyrics are all about justice and coming together to right wrongs, not unlike seize the day

but then the musical made the song feel more about revenge, focusing less on the "children's crusade", it feels more militant in a way and I just don't like it

plus, by the conclusion of the real 1899 strike the newsboys had stopped "soaking the scabs" entirely and won because they had the public's support, not because they barged into Pulitzer's office with an army and punched his lights out

I always think that when people say the broadway lyrics are better than the 92sies lyrics they must be forgetting that line in once and for all, 'better to die than to crawl'. What genius decided that a line with that much visceral emotion somehow wasn't good enough for the stage?

[frogmanfae]

The 92sies Once and For All hit so hard I feel like we don't talk about that nearly enough

[trans-marvin]

Who up awakening they union?

Now that wind and truth is out I think it’s the best moment for me to throw this at cosmete fans. A dicusssion I’ve been having with my friends ever since we started readying the cosmere.

I thinks it’s fairly straight even with this book but I don’t know I want to know from other cosmere fans. Please I would love if you justified yourself in the comments too.

i cannot believe that “once and for all there’s a fire inside me that won’t stop burning” was literally the hardest line ever written only for them to cut it in the musical wtf

[we-were-both-born-today]

i’m sorry but newsies still goes too hard. there’s change coming once and for all. you’re getting too old- too weak to keep holding on. there’s a new world gunning for you, and we is too, til once and for all you’re gone. are you fucking kidding me?

Dad Cole alert

[clairehadenough]

Ugh….you and your receipts all day every day 😩

Why are you devoting time and energy, writing paragraphs long dissertations to convince a bunch of "delulus?"

You and you're little friends are the ones who are "scared shitless". No one secure in the truth would try so hard to convince people who they have deemed insignificant.

I predict nothing but disaster and tragedy for everyone connected to this travesty of an idea.

LooooooL, just found this😂

Do you really think, like really really think, that our blogs are created to “convince” the delulus and hope that they’d change their minds?

Oh honey😂😂

I couldn’t give a fuck if any of those very disturbing blogs are convinced or not. In fact I’d like them to stay where they are, I would feel very weird having them on my side lol.

I’ll explain to you like you’re 5, because I doubt your brain has developed further anyway. It’s gonna be long though so I’m not sure if you can read this much. Just do your best, ok? ☺️

I’ve said this from the very beginning. Those blogs with their jealousy and complete unawareness of reality, have fucked up this fandom. What was once a fun place to be has become a dumpster where they throw their shitty theories and ideas. The fandom is already ruined. By them. That’s why some don’t bother anymore. They’re still Chris’ fans but would rather just follow from a distance now, instead of being his fans on apps like this very one.

I, on the other hand, hate it when idiots are given too much freedom without anyone humbling them. Enter my blog. You say lies? I show everyone who sees them that you’re lying and why. You make up accusations? I show everyone who hears them why they are wrong. Always with receipts, always with proofs. So do most of the other sane blogs on here.

We don’t expect the big delulus to change their mind, nor do we want them to😂 We’ve seen enough of the other fandoms to know that those we have here haven’t reached the worst level yet.

No. Our blogs are here

1) not to let idiots spread their crap without anyone showing they’re wrong. Imagine if Tr*mp’s lies in rallies or tweets were never exposed. That would be the same, albeit on a much smaller scale and in a much less impactful environment.

2) to give very gullible people the chance to see things how they really are and give them the opportunity to use their brains. Don’t you see how people get insulted when they ask questions on those blogs? They are not allowed to use logic because then the crazies’ theories wouldn’t be believable if they did.

We’ve had lots of people coming to us from “the other side” telling us they can see how gullible they were. We have daily anons full of hate and anger from the crazies showing how much our blogs are annoying them. And these two facts are enough proof for us that our blogs are succeeding in what they were created for.

The delulus could keep believing whatever they want for however long they want. Nobody gives a single flying fuck. Our blogs were never for them anyway 😂

I’m not sure you read all this because it clearly shows from your ask that reading is not your forte.

But might as well let the other haters know too so they don’t bother sending me the same sad anons asking about the same thing again😉
