#THE OUTSIDERS

[alittlebitofloveliness]

We talk a lot about Darry reading Ponyboy’s theme in this fandom and I understand the angst that comes with him hearing Ponyboy’s true thoughts about him, but first and foremost Darrel Curtis is a GUARDIAN. I genuinely think his biggest takeaway would be how much Ponyboy self medicates and how clearly it’s a problem that requires intervention. Darry’s responsible for this kid, his baby brother, you’d best believe concern would trump any pain he might be feeling, and suddenly he’s locking up pills and handing out aspirin to make sure Pony isn’t triple dosing himself, because he will not watch Pony destroy himself. He won’t. Even if Pony hates him for it for real this time.

I feel sorry for the people who are musical fans only and have never read the book because y’all have never met the absolute insanity that is Dallas Winston

[chronicroderick]

YES

Does anybody else track their life though a series of obsessions? Like “ah yes, i remember that happening, i was obsessing over Star Gate Atlantis at the time,” or, “this was during my Supernatural era.” I can map out my whole life in this way.

steve has a black cat named diesel who’s super mean to literally everyone (including steve himself half the time, lmfao) except soda. soda’s the only one who can hold and pick up the cat and he never lets steve forget it

every time i listen to Runs in The Family (Reprise), i think about how Scared sodapop must be

"maybe i should finally just walk on out" darry screams, "you'd be one less thing for me to worry about!"

and suddenly soda is thinking about how much darry does for them. how much he works, how much he cleans, how much he cooks, how much money he brings in. and soda knows he cannot do that. he cant do what darry does, and if hes gone... what would happen to him and ponyboy?

"leave you boys, im heading back to school! im tired of lifting you up, tired of playing the fool"

darry cant leave. he cant. he wouldnt. soda knows this. but what if hes wrong? its looking more and more like he wont be able to de-escalate this argument, and what would happen then? he always hopes and prays that the next argument would be the last, but they always just keep growing and growing. would this be darry's final straw if soda couldnt hold them together?

"Start a new life in a different town, there aint no tellin' where i'd go without you draggin me down"

soda knows hes right. he knows that darry couldve gotten out and made a life for himself if he didnt have to devote every waking hour to making sure him and pony didnt get sent away. and god if soda didnt feel a shit ton of guilt for that every day.

"picture life without ole' Darry around!"

god soda doesnt ever want to imagine that. even if darry wasnt the one holding their family together, he wouldnt ever want to picture a life without his big brother. he loves him too much. he needs him. even before their parents died he needed his big brother there. hes never known a life without darry and he never wants to.

but he also can't sit and dwell with this fear because hes gotta de-escalate everything. and darry is yelling, and now ponyboy is yelling, and poor johnny is watching all of this and now theyre screaming. and ponyboy is saying maybe Darry should just leave and oh my god why cant they just stop fighting

and then suddenly darry has slapped ponyboy and soda watches him and johnny sprint out the front door. he doesnt even know how any of it happened. and god he prays that darry wont leave now.

he cant lose both of them

Nobody can replace Ralph Macchio fr 😤🔥🔥

(The fact that he was 22 and looked 16-17 here 😦 I'm grateful to be 'ageless' like him-)

u wanna talk abt perfect casting? ralph macchio as johnny cade. the first time i saw him in that ratty ass jean jacket it was like the johnny in my head had been put on the screen. i physically cannot imagine him looking like anyone else
