THE OUTSIDERS CHOREOGRAPHY ANALYSIS

So I've noticed, when watching the outsiders, that the greasers and socs dance very differently, and I wanna talk about that!!!

So, starting with the greasers. They dance solo a lot of the time, but they're still dancing together. They're having fun. And when they do do a duo dance (like Two-Bit and Ace in FATDI), they do it because they want to. They do it because they love dancing together and having fun. They dance freely and wildly and don't care about other people's opinions.

The socs, on the other hand, almost always dance together. It's almost always Marcia and Trip, Cherry and Bob, and Bev and Brill. They don't dance as freely. Their movements are more graceful and "perfect." They dance like how it's expected of them because if they don't, they can't be a part of the social circle. Then, they're not accepted. They're dependent on one another for acceptance. They rely on each other to fit in. They're afraid to dance on their own because what if they do it wrong? What if they don't fit the norm? What if they dare to be different?

Anyways, I could see those worlds colliding with marcia and two-bit. Him teaching her to be more free. To have fun to the max. They can just be themselves.

favorite headcanons for each outsiders character?

my favorite headcanons for TO characters

notes: i saw this ask this morning and wanted to answer it, but i had to leave for school. 😭 but now i can answer it! :D i was actually going to make another headcanons post today when i saw this! great timing, anon!

the curtis gang:

— steve has a pet cat named "kitty".

↑ he was like, 5 or 6-years-old when he got her. that little boy was SO HAPPY when his dad let him adopt her. he named her kitty bc of his limited english. (i hc his dad doesn't know english, so steve's first language is german. when they got kitty, he was just beginning to learn english. i'll explain in another post.)

— darry screams like a little girl.

↑ his scream is SO high-pitched, it's not even funny. bro screams SO LOUD it scares everyone. (rip johnny.)

— ponyboy cusses people out in french when they're cranky/irritable.

↑ he talks shit about the socs too, but those guys can't do anything to them bc they don't know wtf he is saying, lmaooo.

— dallas has severe cynophobia (fear of dogs).

↑ ik i've said this before, but i just really want to elaborate on how fucking terrified dally is of dogs. just SAYING the word "dog" will send him into a panic attack. that's how severe his phobia is.

— two-bit has so many allergies, it's not even funny.

↑ bro's allergic to gluten, pollen, cats AND dogs, carrots, tuna.....the list goes on.

— sodapop fucking HATES soda (the drink).

↑ idrk how to explain, man. when he tried it for the first time he spit that shit out so fast. never had it ever again. (ponyboy is so confused/angry over this.)

— johnny's eating habits are so wild, guys.

↑ this boy either packs away a whole thanksgiving turkey or eats a single cracker. there is no in between.

* * *

the shepard siblings:

— tim is really good with little kids/babies.

↑ he isn't the biggest fan of little ones, but he doesn't HATE them. sometimes when he's out in public and he sees a baby being fussy, he'll just be like "omg shut up" and scoops 'em up and just holds them and then like two minutes later the kid's passed out on his shoulder. curly and angela are baffled.

— angela LOVES doing hair.

↑ she practices her skills on her hair and her brothers' hair. (mainly tim.)

— curly is the biggest daredevil you will ever meet. (that's already canon.)

↑ ever seen jackass? yeah, that's curly.

* * *

other greasers:

— sandy loved painting.

↑ she would make small paintings on tiny pieces of paper and gift them to soda. after she left, soda burned them all.

— sylvia is the biggest bitch you will ever meet. (canon.)

↑ she is literally the worst person ever. the reason dally went back to her so much is bc she fucking manipulated/gaslighted him. idk HOW people can praise her 'n shit, like, c'mon y'all, she canonically cheated on dallas MULTIPLE TIMES and he STILL took her back. she tried hooking up with JOHNNY for crying out loud. horrible, horrible person here, folks.

— evie is literally a GODDESS at makeup.

↑ girlies (or anyone), if you want your makeup done, call evie. she'll fix you up so good, you won't even recognize yourself. steve sometimes lets her do his makeup and he'll walk around like that all day. (soda goes absolutely feral.)

— buck is dally's father figure.

↑ he was the very first person dallas met when he arrived in tulsa. buck took one look at 12-year-old dally and said, "yep, he's my son now." they're both really close and would die for each other.

* * *

the socs:

— marcia is very creative/artsy.

↑ she draws, paints, knits, crochets, writes, and so much more. she makes her own clothes and makes clothes for her friends and family as well. super talented girl.

— randy used to be a greaser.

↑ he was born on the east side and lived a peaceful life until his parents and little sister died in a housefire when he was 10. he was put in a foster home/orphanage and stayed there until he was 12. the only reason he became a soc was because the foster care facility/social services placed him with a foster family that lived on the west side. he absolutely hated being a soc and post-canon he runs away and becomes a hippie and lives on the east side again.

— bob is the biggest kleptomaniac ever.

↑ this man steals everything and anything. his rings? stolen from other socs. his clothes? swiped 'em under the cashier's nose. he steals shit he doesn't even need. he just takes everything that isn't nailed down. (two-bit rivals him in this.)

— cherry hates the wilderness.

↑ this girl hates bugs, arachnids, snakes, EVERYTHING. do not take her camping. she will whine and complain the entire time. poor girl goes home covered in bug bites despite wearing a shit ton of bug spray.

— don't have any headcanons for paul yet, lol sorry.

end notes: that's everyone. thanks for the ask, anon! ❤️

The Outsiders characters as things I did

Pretty self explanatory I just do a lot of stupid things and one of them had me thinking about it too bad I needed to share

Two-Bit: Made a joke that cruelly lacked context and made me look like I kicked children for fun. So I used to coach kids at this gymnastics school and I taught 5 to 9 year old kids and I was getting overstimulated and the kid bit my leg and licked the blood from the wound and I shook my leg until the kid was off. I had to get stitches for the wound and I cope with humour so I texted my friend “Call me Mister Hyde the way I just kicked a child” and I almost got cancelled. Even after explaining we still stopped being friends and honestly I get why

Dally: Called my guy best friend’s girlfriend a cheating whore while myself dating a man that was cheating on me. Then finding out that he was cheating on me with his girlfriend. I fought them after finding them in bed together. I’D DO IT AGAIN 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Ponyboy: I got caught reading in class because I had a huge reaction to what was said in the book and my teacher took my book away and never gave it back. I WANT MY BOOK BACK

Sodapop: Sobbed before going inside the Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion and when my mom tried to comfort me in my native language I kept sobbing and even got worse but when the park lady came up to me to comfort me in a language I didn’t understand I immediately stopped crying

Johnny: Screamed bloody murder and got ignored while my parents were arguing really badly and I thought they were about to kill each other. The neighbour called the cops because he heard me scream and not because of the argument and my parents were confused when the cops showed up for a loud scared scream

Darry: At one of my first shifts at work in was a closing shift and it was late and I was exhausted so when a guy asked me when his drink would be ready I just said “Hell if I know!” instead of “just in a moment” like I was meant to

Steve: I tried to fix my bike when I was little and I thought I could do it alone and almost ended up cutting off my pinky finger while changing the bike chain. I haven’t been on a bike since!

Bob: First time I ever drank alcohol I was so drunk that when I watched my favourite movie at the time and my two favourite characters got killed off I was sobbing and pointing at the screen saying “No… Billy no!” For 15 minutes

Randy: I was supposed to fight this guy and I forgot about it and the next day he punched me in the face and I just said “My man let’s kiss not fight” and we did end up kissing

Marcia: I saw my dad come back from work covered in motor oil and I cried because I didn’t recognize him when he was dirty

Cherry: First time that I went to a drive-in movie I was arguing with my friend because I wanted her to stop talking so I could watch Guardians of the Galaxy and I fell out of the van and we had to scrap my favourite clothes because there was cow shit

Paul: When I broke up with my ex (a different one than previously mentioned) I was so heartbroken I acted like I planned it all from the beginning and this was all part of my master plan because I was actually emotionless and people were like a chess board to me while I was sobbing in call to my best friend because I couldn’t believe he left me for some 25 year old when we were both still 15

[chaotic-starlight24]

Bob Sheldon and Randy Adderson General Headcanons

HEY Y'ALL! WANT TO BE SAD ABOUT THESE GUYS???? READY! LET'S GO! This isn't romantic btw, just their separate character headcanons and then some friendship stuff Warnings: Mentions of alcohol, Anger issues, spoilers

Bob Sheldon

Bob really did love Cherry and while he didn’t understand some of the stuff she said he paid attention to her interests and everything. One time he and Randy went by a store because it was Bob and Cherry’s anniversary and they walked by the makeup supply. There Bob spotted the most bright neon red lipstick that will stain everything it touches and was like “she’s gonna love this Randy :D” Cherry loved that he thought of her but also knew for a fact she was never going to wear it.

He is one of the few socs who really feel things. He hides it most of the time but especially when he’s drunk his emotions come out. Though sadly he always felt anger the strongest. He sometimes envied the freedom greasers had, allowed to feel their emotions. Allowed to be wild. But he never wanted to be one, he had a lot of privilege that he wasn’t gonna give up.

Bob could be a nice guy, but he took things way too far on several occasions. He was constantly pushing past physical boundaries or rules. Breaking the law, jumping greasers, all that stuff. The final boundary just happened to be Johnny’s.

He was always real proud of his rings. He polished them whenever he could and loved showing them off. One soc told him that it was girly and got punched in the face so hard the rings left a mark. He’s also always got his eye out for nice rings. He once passed Dallas at a rodeo and stopped to complement his rings. Dallas just tipped his hat and kept walking. Cherry got Bob and her matching promise rings as a gift and if you asked him, they were probably his favorite.

He was a very charismatic person and lots of people loved having him around. Lots of girls had crushes on him, guys wanted to be besties with him. It was when he was drunk that he became the problem. When he was, his mind wasn’t in the right place to make good decisions. And he was mainly acting on emotions. But the guys who hung out with him saw him as a natural leader and followed everything he said. Only Randy tried to stop him from doing something bad once, and Randy was immediately shoved to the ground and cussed out. Which started their falling out.

During his whole “I’m gonna be the next Paul Holden!” phase, he pushed himself way too hard when it came to football. Practicing during all hours of the day, trying to run around the entire west side, etc. Cherry wasn’t dating him at the time but she still noticed him doing this (And she had a crush on him too) and tried to calm him down. She helped a bit but he just kept on going. Eventually Randy tried to talk to him and convince him to stop but it led to their biggest argument that led to their falling out. Randy told him he was never going to be Paul or Darry or any of the football legends and that he should be himself and Bob said things like Randy was just holding him back and he didn’t need him and yada yada. They got into a big altercation and Bob seriously hurt Randy. And that’s when it all hit him. He was losing everybody that mattered, and for what? A sprinkle of actual attention from his parents? Fame? Popularity? Legacy? The rest of that year was possibly the loneliest year of his life. But he kept going. Eventually he and Randy became friends again and Bob (though still obsessed with sports fame) got away from the really unhealthy practices.

Bob loves watching Cherry at the rodeos. He’s there at every single one, cheering her on. It makes him feel very proud of her and he showers her with compliments afterwards.

He is always upset when Cherry fights with him when he drinks. He knows she doesn’t like it but it’s his life! He always thinks she’s just being overdramatic about it because it's not that bad! 

His drinking was honestly becoming a problem. It turned from just a can or 2 to can he down an entire bottle of vodka in 2 minutes?! And as we know he became a worse person when drunk. Randy didn’t have so much of a problem with it since he was also usually drunk but then he started to notice Bob drinking all the time. Both him and Cherry started getting real worried but they weren’t able to do anything to stop it.

He’s really proud of his hair. It’s soft, the curls frame his face just the right way, and it just looks good on him. When he was younger all of his mom’s work friends constantly complimented him. So he is a bit prideful about it.

He was always craving his parents’ attention. They gave him everything they thought he wanted, but never what he actually wanted. Cars, clothes, etc. He always wished one day they would actually notice him and get him something because they know him. Like how Cherry knew how much he loves his rings and got him the promise rings. Or how Randy got him patches for his letterman jacket that he loved so dearly. But they never did. 

When he was younger he had a phase where he wanted to be a cowboy, running around the wild west. He had boots, a hat, a bandana, everything! He watched all the old western movies and even tried to drag Randy into playing cowboy games with him and the other socs. Eventually he realized he didn’t really care for the lifestyle of a cowboy and hung up his hat. He still watched westerns whenever they were on at the drive-in and it’s also why he loved rodeos so much.

There were 2 different Bobs. One was the one most socs knew. The natural leader, the football player, the high and mighty future business man, the angry drunk. The other was a wild and charismatic guy. The guy who loved his rings, throwing the biggest rocks he could into the river, and his girl. And his best friend too. But that guy was usually locked away. 

The night with Pony and Johnny was an especially bad one for Bob.He is NOT JUSTIFIED for trying to kill Ponyboy or anything. But his pure rage when he saw Cherry and Pony together was overpowering. He thought he was doing a good job with her! Trying to listen to her when they watched sunsets. He didn’t understand it all but he knew what it meant. Being there for her even when her mom was especially sick. Holding her close when she could barely see the light. And here she was, hanging out with a greaser! Just because he got a little drunk?! His emotions were very prominent when he was drunk so it made it all the worse. All he knew was that he was gonna teach those greasers a lesson.

Randy Adderson

People always read his name wrong and call him Randy Anderson. It gets really annoying to him but he’s grown used to it.

Him and Marcia were ok friends but they honestly didn’t really belong together. They were more our besties are dating, eh might as well. But he learned very quickly that Marcia was not particularly fond of Bob. And that was one of their main fighting points.

Randy’s parents are ok people. Not the greatest parents or anything, just your typical 60s parents. He’s closer to his dad and wants to follow in his footsteps if he can. That’s what he tells his dad. In reality he wants to follow his older brother and his wife who moved out to Florida to study tropical storms in that region. He really likes weather and wishes to be a meteorologist.

Bouncing off that, there was no proper storm chasing or anything (To my knowledge) really in the 60s but Randy low-key did that. Whenever it was tornado season you know he was driving out in his car, looking around for even the sign of a possible funnel cloud. He doesn’t find them too often but when he does he is ecstatic, even if they don’t touch down.

His most prized possession is his silver pocket watch. His grandfather worked as a train conductor and used it quite a lot. It was passed down to Randy’s father and then Randy. He takes it with him everywhere he goes and it’s always sparkling clean.

He’s always been a follower especially with Bob. So he’s picked up a lot of “his” interests from Bob. Bob starts obsessing with cowboys? Randy suddenly wants his own hat. Bob starts loving football? Randy wants to give it a try. Eventually Randy started to have his own interests but he still follows Bob for a lot of things.

It has never really been in Randy’s mind to envy or be jealous of Bob or the popular guys. Sure Bob was always more popular than him and everyone liked Bob. But Randy was never like “Well diggity darn it, I wanna be just like him >:(“ He was always really supportive and didn’t feel the need to be super famous in school or anything.

When it came to greasers, he was more open about them than Bob. Sure, he was always real quick to judge them but he didn’t automatically think “You live on the east side you must jump little kids and steal from old people!”. His older brother has always been a big inspiration for him and was a well-known successful soc. But he actually married a “greaser girl” named Dottie. Which started to make Randy realize that maybe not all greasers are bad. Which meant he kinda grappled with himself when Bob took him to jump Johnny. Bob insisted they were only having fun, doing it for kicks. And Randy followed him. Post-book Randy feels extremely guilty about it and wishes he didn’t just follow Bob blindly during situations like that.

His parents made him and his brother learn instruments when they were younger, Randy decided to learn the bagpipes. Why? He was 8, he saw them, thought they were cool, and now he knows how to play them! They are extremely loud and he would annoy his brother by playing right outside his room.

His dad travels around a lot and has collected many objects from other countries. They hang on the wall in his dad’s office where many unique things reside. That is where Randy spied the bagpipes. Him and his older brother would sneak in there and touch the different objects and try to use them. His father was particularly upset when he found out they dropped his pirate spyglass.

His brother is 3 ½ years older than him. His name is Roy Marshall Adderson and he and Randy share a lot of similar features. Unless you ask them, then they greatly disagree.

Randy goes over to England with his family because his grandparents and distant family live there. He has gone fox hunting a couple times with his family and hangs out with the dogs more than his actual family.

Friendship 

Bob and Randy have been friends forever. Both their dads were higher-ups at a big business and brought their families and stuff to the dinners and everything. And it isn’t exactly entertaining for 6 year olds. So they were both sitting and just so happened to ask their parents if they could go play by the stairwell if they were quiet and they met at the stairwell. They hit it off immediately because, I mean they’re 6. What are they supposed to do, beat each other up? They stayed best friends all throughout Elementary school and most of middle school. But they grew apart for a while after a fight when Bob decided to do his best to be the next Paul Holden. Bob wanted Randy to be the next Darrel Curtis with him but Randy didn’t want to change himself to fit those standards. So they had a falling out. Eventually they once again became friends at the start of high school and stayed so until Bob passed.

Bob had the biggest crush on Cherry all of middle school and Randy was his hype man. Randy wrote entire lists of reasons on why Cherry would say yes to Bob but he wouldn’t hear it. Finally, after they became friends again, Bob asked her out and on their second date made it a double one. Including Randy and the girl of his choice. Randy wasn’t all that interested in anyone at the time but decided to go with Cherry’s best friend, Marcia. She was smart, she was cute, what could go wrong?

Randy has dragged Bob out storm chasing before and Bob has enjoyed it. He’s less interested in the science and more about the thrill. Seeing this force of nature as it rips through fields is mesmerizing to him. They can get really close to them sometimes, def had a couple close calls. *THIS IS NOT SAFE BEHAVIOR!!! YOU ARE NOT REED TIMMER SO UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DON’T DO THIS

[dallasgallant]

Time period post: Soc’s

I just did one of these recently going over greasers and so I thought I’d go over Soc’s! Something to keep in mind is they aren’t really a subculture(really neither are our greasers) but are a defined group, clique might be the best word.

Ponyboy explains soc himself in the book by explaining its short for ‘Socialite’

Socialite:

is a person from a wealthy background who is prominent in high society. Who generally spends a significant amount of time attending various fashionable social gatherings, instead of having traditional employment.

Rich > popular

Soc does not automatically mean popularity and shouldn’t be seen as a stand in for a “popular kids”, however there’s an overlap and high likelihood they are popular but it’s not a requirement or the only aspect. The Soc’s are the rich kids.

In the sixties that likely means a two story house, two car garage, full kitchen, finished basement, central air etc. Nice new clothes and a nice car, they’re able to keep up with modern trends in just about everything. They’ll get records and stuff they like with relative ease.

There’s also the social aspect to being a social!

Being social-

Their entire life is about knowing the right people and being in the proper circles, they’re being reared to be the next proper socialites. Typically the women, men too but they’ll get a marketing, sales or board job that’s also primarily knowing people and cutting deals.

They throw ragers now but it’ll soon turn into garden parties and charity luncheons or company picnics. Building relationships and passing money around to each other and to whatever cause of the week they’ll pretend to care for or perhaps genuinely do but are so separated from everyone else it’s still tone deaf. We’re talking that kind of rich here.

For now Soc’s are still young, they may attend family events when needed but are largely left on their own to throw their own things… beer blasts, ragers. Getting in the news for their insanity but being praised in it the next day like cherry says. It’s a weird duality.

Appearance

To be a soc one has to be hyper-vigilant. One has to be presentable. One can never really be themselves or even know themselves. It’s hard to turn it off even when they’re alone, is there anything beneath that smile? Has it ever got a chance to develop? Bringing up Cherry again because she describes it so perfectly in a book that they’d talk without listening to themselves, just to talk, don’t even really know any of their friends but they’re friends because well— no one remembers.

They keep ramping up their antics just to feel something, anything. So you’re jumping greasers. You’re getting wasted. Wreckless, violent etc. might as well get it all out of your system now, it’s harder to burry when you age. They’re losing their minds a little constantly before they learn to completely harden. This is something still prevalent today amongst upper class kids.

Which, again don’t misunderstand me. They do have feelings and they are people I’m just explains how the pressures and demands of who/what they are often leads to completely losing yourself to the collective (there’s so many movies on this lol). Or just simply are lead not to care, too busy either networking or having fun to have a chance to think. Cherry mentioned something on this too, I think if they ever had a moment to stop, for silence or a sunset they’d explode. Need to fill themselves with noise and action to feel.

A lot of their more general behavior, that’s not influenced by the pressures of being Uber rich, overlaps with just plain and regular ‘popular’ kids in school. Not really knowing your friends or what you’re doing but you’re young and hot and you have fun so who cares really?

Soc = prep

While a soc isn’t interchangeable with Popular, they do tend to be. A better synonym would be the Preps/Preppies of the 1980s

Prep:

an American subculture associated with the alumni of college-preparatory schools in the Northeastern United States.

A prep is essentially a soc, just with more focus on the style of clothing and less the social aspect. It’s sort of the overlap with Soc and popular, as if you’re middle/upper middle class but popular and dress in the style you’d be considered a prep.

In the end, Soc refers to the “rich bully” whereas a Greaser is the “working class bully” as specified in my post on them. This is speaking in the stereotypical sense as the entire point of the story is people are more than the surface or stereotypes.
