all of the Aces' headbands being just. a scrap of fabric from the shirt shes wearing is such a perfect, genius costume detail. clearly expressing her resourcefulness she needs to have as a greaser on first look.

Saying Goodbye (Ace and Dally's last interaction)

Ace was being carried. She was in someone's arms, her head bumping against a strong chest as they walked. She starts to stir, still letting herself melt back into the arms as they walk. She was so tired, but she didn’t remember why.  

“Ace kid, you wakin’ up?” She is startled at that. She knew that voice, that voice that had disappeared on a set of train tracks. 

“Dally?” She asks quietly. 

“Yeah it’s me.” She looks up at a smirking Dallas Winston, who is just holding her and walking down an unknown street. His face was perfectly clean from any cuts and bruises, his arms were bare and free from any burns and his previously messed up hair was perfectly back in place. Like an angel. If Dallas could ever be described as that. 

“But how…? Are you…? Am I…?” 

“You ain’t dead if that’s what you’re thinkin’.” 

“I watched you die though.” He nods, shifting and pulling her closer. 

“And I am sorry about that.” 

“You should be.” She shoots back. “We lost Johnny and then you too…” 

He smiles wanly again. “Ace, I had too.” 

“You didn’t! You could have stayed with us.” He doesn’t say anything to that, just keeps carrying her through the street by houses she doesn’t recognize. “Where are we Dally?” He smiles a little. 

“New York. This was my street when I was a kid. All my friends lived in these alley houses.” He nods his head to a row of little shacks, the colors muted and the streets empty. “We used to play baseball at that intersection.” He smiles wryly. “You know I was a Yankees fan?” 

“You never told me.” She said softly, feeling for the millionth time tonight that she is inadequate with her relationships to her friends. Dallas never talked about his time in New York all that often. The only time he would open up about it was when he got a couple drinks in him. Though he purposely liked to scare Ponyboy or Johnny with gang stories, he did have a couple softer memories he had told Ace. 

“It never came up.” He was being awfully soft towards her. Something he never was when he was alive. She’d never seen him like this. He’d also never made an appearance in her dreams before. Dead or alive. He stops in front of a dilapidated alley house. There was one box of yellow sunflowers on the windowsill, a spot of bright on the brown exterior of the house. “This was my nana’s granny flat.”

“Is she there?” 

“No. She moved on.” He says it airily, as if he knows something that she doesn’t. He walks up the steps and opens the door. There's a small ripping flowery couch that he sets her down on gently and sits across from her in the arm chair. 

“Did you ever miss her in Tulsa?” 

“Of course I did, but I had to run.” She wants to ask why. Why did he run away from New York? Why did he run to Tulsa? And most of all, why did he stand in front of that train? Why did he leave her? 

“Dally-”

“I couldn’t have stayed in Tulsa Ace. Not without Johnny.” He interrupts her. Ace fiddles with a stray string on the couch. 

“You could have! You didn’t have to run in front of that train! You could have stayed with us, Dally!” She knows she sounds childish, but she still feels so tired. She is also so angry at Dallas for leaving them. How could he? He gives her that same stupid smile. 

“I had to go, Ace. Johnny needed me.” 

“I need you too.” Normally she wouldn’t have been caught dead saying something like that to Dallas Winston, but she lets herself say it, figuring this is a dream or one of those afterlife experiences. Either way, this might be the last time she would ever see him and he had to know. 

“Johnny… He’s been alone his whole life, I couldn’t let him be alone here too.” She sniffles, letting a couple stray tears run down her face. 

“But… I’m gonna miss you Dally.” 

“I know, but you ain’t like Johnny, kid. You got your brother and the gang and you’ve always been okay by yourself. I’m not tryna say that you guys are better off without me, I’m just sayin’ that you’ll move on fast. Johnny ain’t got no one up here. He needs me.”

“Doesn’t mean I won’t miss you.” She says bitterly and he laughs, moving forward to grip her shoulder. 

“Hey, I’ll miss you too. I love you Ace and you’re my sister. Ain’t nothin’ gonna change that. Not me bein’ dead, not any of it, okay?”

“I know it’s just...” She trails off, knowing she has more she wants to say. She should beg him to stay, saying that he can’t leave her. He can’t be her brother from the afterlife. But she knows it’s not true. Her Grents are still her Grents even though they’re dead and Dallas would always be her brother, whether or not he was dead.

He smiles again and stands. “Say goodbye to everyone for me. I didn’t get a chance.” She stiffens, expecting panic to fill her stomach, instead of the indifference. He walks over to the front door and opens it, light drenching him as it pours out of the open door. 

“Hey Dally, you comin’?” She knew that voice too, it was a voice she’d known all her life. It belonged to a boy with a heart so gold and a soul so pure that it made loving him easy. A boy she’d protected through his life and in turn he’d been her friend and her brother. A boy she was going to miss so much. 

“Course I am Johnny.” Dallas answers with an easy smile. “Just gotta say goodbye.” He walks back over to Ace. She feels tears run down her face as he pulls her into a hug. A tight hug that says more than his words ever could. 

“Will you please stay with me Dally?” She asks one more time, knowing it’s childish and pleading but wanting to try anyway. Dallas just laughs and squeezes her a little tighter. 

“My Ace of Spades, never lose that fire ‘neath your feet.” He pulls away, kissing her forehead and giving her a wave. He walks through the light with one arm around Johnny.

The Curtis brothers were NEXT LEVEL last night y’all, idk what it was but they were making me sob more than usual

Pony was completely curled up into Sodas lap after Johnny died and just sobbing while Sodas held him

Brent’s voice crack on “we love you…did you hear what I said Pony? I said I love you” was just so crazy😭

Josh and Brody also have fantastic chemistry as Pony and Johnny!! Literally a 10/10 and got to see Jordan!Ace! Which was cool!

[closetnerd62]

i would just like it to be noted that ace CLOCKED darry’s shit when he was with paul. he walked into the curtis house late one night to find ace looking him up and down, arms crossed. she just shakes her head and goes “at least fix your hair before you come in” then walks out the door, giving him a pat on the shoulder.

Little things the greasers do to make Christmas morning a little more special:

Darry: gets up extra early to make a chocolate cake, but he crushes up little candy canes and sprinkles them on top of the cake

Soda: drags everyone outside to have fun after they eat breakfast and spend the morning together

Ponyboy: he makes sure that everyone stays over on Christmas Eve so they can all wake up together on Christmas (especially Johnny, because pony knows if he doesn’t Johnny will sleep in the lot)

Johnny: he’s in the kitchen helping Darrel by making everyone hot chocolate (he knows how every single person likes theirs and makes it that way)

Dallas: pretends not to care at all but he actually is the one organizing what the entire gang is pitching in to get Darry as a present (he will deny it forever and plans to take this secret to his grave)

Steve: Goes out early to swing around the town and make sure that everyone who needs it has somewhere to go. (He will also stop by the Matthews house to check and see if Mrs. Matthews wants to bring over Two’s sister to be with them so she can have a little break)

Two-Bit: makes sure there is always a holiday cartoon on when everyone settles down together in the living room (he takes this job very seriously)

Ace: is given the mission of picking out the most hideous possible matching pajamas for everyone in the gang to wear on Christmas morning (technically Darry told her to just get matching pajamas, but she decided to pick the most ugly ones imaginable)

Curtis gang post canon having a pool party at Marcia’s house (with marbit and cherrycola)

-ok so Marcia has this really big pool at her house

-and one day when her parents are away and it’s super hot, two bit convinces her to invite the gang over

-it’s chaos

-they are splashing each other and wrestling each other in the water and having sooo much fun

-ya know that game where people sit on top of each others shoulders and try and get the other person to fall into the water? They go to town with that game

-Ace is on Darry’s shoulders and soda is on Steve’s shoulders and ace and soda are pushing and shoving and going to war

-they’re having soooo much fun

-pony being scared of swimming cuz he was almost drowned by Bob is so cannon to me

-he sits with his book on a beach chair the whole time

-cherry comes over and talks with him because sorry they’re besties, but she also swims a ton

-Marcia’s always happiest when she’s swimming, and so two bit is always most in love with her when she’s swimming, so they spend the a lot of the time away from the crowd being tooth rottingly cute

-but he definitely does spend some time lowkey drowning soda, dw tho they’re doing it to each other!

-them and Steve roughhousing in the pool is so real to me

-ace also loves swimming and I think her and Marcia spend some time doing laps together

-darry falls asleep on a beach chair next to pony cuz lord knows he needs some relaxation

That’s his little sister!

[girlishwhimsies]

i love how every character in the outsiders is a dichotomy. darry is hardworking and stressed but he is also so soft and yearns to relax. soda is loving and cries but gets into fights and works on cars and does tough shit. two-bit is funny and messes with people and drinks but he is the biggest protector out there and would kill for any of his friends. steve is closed off and tries to be tough but loves so deeply and feels so deeply. ace has been traumatized to hell and back and can’t trust any strangers or men yet loves the gang so deeply and takes down her walls for them. dally is tough and runs and is a greaser through and through but he loves and protects all of his gang til the end. johnny has been beaten on and shoved down but he still feels so much sympathy for everyone and has so much hope. pony is full of love and anger and terror and happiness and is everything all of greasers are.

The longest part of doing these lineups is the fuckin. Shoes. God I hate shoes. Sneak peaks.
