#darry’s 20 yall

[specific-dreamer]

stay gold is for darry too (except this is what i meant to say the first time b4 i got distracted)

“when you’re young and the world is new / it’s easy to forget when you’re trying just to make it through”

darry is 20 years old and for the first time he’s having to learn about bills and when to pay them and how to pay them, he’s having to learn about debt works and how long he can take to pay them back. he’s having to learn how to budget because suddenly he can’t take whatever change he has left at the end of the day to take his brothers to the rodeo or the bookstore, instead that change has to go to something more sustainable.

and darry has a one track mind. to him, since he has to play guardian, since he has to play parent, he’s not allowed to have fun anymore. he has to work day in and day out to keep his brother yes, but he’s also working so his brothers don’t have to work this hard. he’s working this hard in hopes that one day, hopefully in a year or so, they’ll have enough saved up so he can stop playing parent. he’s hoping they’ll have enough saved up so this child can stop walking in his dad’s enormous shoes and can finally be a kid again.

he’s opening at the end of this he can finally just be a friend and a brother again. the thing is though darry forgets. he forgets about the now. he forgets how sensitive his brothers are; soda makes a point for darry to know he can lean on him if he needs to, but sometimes darry gets a little to comfortable and forgets to remind soda the same. darry and pony used to be a whole lot closer before their parents died. but after darry forgets how sensitive he is; pony likes playing big and bold (like every 14 year old) so he’s forgets that pony really is just a baby. he forgets that pony lost his parents too at a really young age and needs a bit more comfort; darry forgets to offer that comfort.

darry never neglects his brothers, god no he doesn’t. in his mind, he eats dinner… most nights with them, he’s usually not back til late, eating dinner with the dim light above the stove. he sees them to bed though! he makes sure they’re all ready for bed and can find him if they need him, though pony has taken to finding soda instead which… is new.

[coquettejohnny]

people who say that darry would be like old people (tech illiterate, etc) kinda missed the point of his character, the entire idea was that he was forced to grow up too fast when he was still a kid. he's not 40 leave him alone he's 20, he's not much older than ponyboy

[faggotadeux]

y'all gotta stop acting like my man darry curtis is a boomer he is literally 20 years old 😭😭 he's literally one year older than two-bit and two years older than sodapop and steve.

i know all of you are like 14 but i can assure you that 20 is not old. they understand the culture. there isn't a generational gap.

[urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites]

ok like my last ask but opposite

f!greaser who looks all pretty, haunted and scared and the gang + Tim and Curly being attracted to her. She has big doll eyes, low haunting voice- you have fun

Heck yeah I’m thinking like pretty dead girl aesthetic kinda vibes

Ponyboy Curtis

-thinks you’re super intriguing

-liked just watching you and seeing what you do

-he draws and paints you fr

-he just finds you hauntingly beautiful and fascinating

-you immediately stood out to him as a person

-you have super deep conversations with him at night

-looking at the stars with him while he softly kisses your cheek

-has written poetry about you and never showed you

Johnny Cade

-you both met at the lot

-he saw you sitting there, just looking at the fire you’d created

-he saw something in your eyes… sad and beautiful

-you reminded him of himself

-he tentatively walked over to you, and got the strongest urge to hold your hand

-which he resisted, silently sitting next to you as you turned your attention towards him

-with your big doll eyes

-they reminded him of Two Bits sisters only doll growing up, an antique porcelain one, a bit creepy

-you both have a silent understanding of each other that no one else quite understands

Sodapop Curtis

-sun and moon istg

-you were in the gas station, stopping by to grab something quick to drink

-as soon as he laid eyes on you he was pretty much in love

-he loved the way you looked

-people often told him his eyes were something you could get lost in

-but man, they didn’t meet you

-he immediately started hitting on you

-and when you reacted a bit startled and unsure of what to do

-he was like okayyyyy won’t do that again

-but over time his comments made you smile more and more

-until you somehow managed to say yes to a date with him

Darry Curtis

-he was walking to the store to pick up things for breakfast

-when you walked past

-no one else was out this early in the morning, everyone was inside having breakfast or sleeping in late

-but you were strolling through for whatever reason

-and you turned his head

-he noticed the subtle way you flinched

-when he tried calling you for your attention

-and when he finally looked at you he thought you were surely one of the most pretty broads he had ever seen

-something so mysterious yet beautiful, scared yet brave

-he does most of the talking for you, and yall are very cute together

-he’s so overprotective

Dallas Winston

-he was smoking in an alleyway when he saw you

-he whistled at you, and you flinched as he continued with some remarks

-“Well that’s a damn fine broad if I ever saw one”

-you seem uncomfortable

-“C-can you please stop?”

-you say, not much louder than a mouse, flashing him those big, scared, haunting eyes of yours

-it hit him like a bus

-and he did stop

-less out of respect and more out of shock but whatever

-later he approached you still with a cocky grin, but a less… asshole attitude

-you didn’t like him at first

-but he learned to have a soft spot for you just like Johnny

-you guys are so cute, and he’s super protective over you like Darry and Tim

Two Bit Mathews

-when he first met you

-he made a shit ton of jokes what do you expect

-“Damn, Dolly, how do you fit those eyes on your face?”

-“I bet you have some 20/20 vision with those telescopes.”

-“My sister has a porcelain doll just like you.”

-and at first you were a bit uncomfortable

-but shyly started cracking a small grin at his quips

-which boosted his fucking ego my guy

-made it skyscraper high

-you guys are cute together tho

-you always be there to silently giggle at his jokes

Steve Randle

-it was his shift at the gas station instead of sodapops

-and when he saw you he was like whoa

-he would pretend not to care and secretly memorized lots of things about you

-he notices the small behaviors everyone misses

-your flinching, your quiet nature, the way you always paid in only coins for everything

-your pretty brown bag you carry everywhere with you

-one day he asks you out, and you say yes

-you liked Steve quite a bit

-such an awesome couple

Tim Shepard

-ok so yk how you and soda are opposites like sun and moon?

-well you and Tim are opposites like fire and ice

-he saw you whenever he was in the middle of jumping a Soc

-you looked terrified and ran away at the mere sight

-he dropped the soc and instantly ran after you

-which you noticed and silently picked up your pace

-eventually he caught up and asked you to slow down

-you hesitantly did

-you looked up at him with those big doll eyes and he knew he was in love

-you flinched when he tried to grab your hand and he instantly felt bad

-he explained that was only someone who didn’t pay him back for something and he’d never hurt you

-you’re quite wary of him

-but the moment you kinda realized you liked him back was whenever he defended you

-from some creeps saying vulgar things

-you help ground him and calm him and he helps you be a bit braver

Curly Shepard

-you met in detention

-you were getting in trouble for something that wasn’t your fault because you couldn’t speak up for yourself

-and he was in there for lord knows what

-he’s never seen you around before or noticed you

-but now that he does…. Wow

-you look like you belong in a poem

-one of those fancy worded ones he’ll never understand

-you start playing with the paper on your desk, folding it as he kicks your chair you jump up

-“Sorry. Didn’t know you were so… uh- jumpy.”

-“Please don’t do that again.” You say softly, giving him earnest eyes

-he nods, not really paying too much attention to what you said and more focused on your eyes

-when you sit back down, he realizes how much he’s intrigued by you

-he moved to sit next to you, smirking

-over a bit of him trying to get to know you and you ignoring him

-you finally tell him your name

-“Y/n.”

-“Y/n, huh? I like that. It fits you”

[ramennoodlezzzao3]

“Darry became an adult that night, Darry had so many responsibilities, Darry had-“

Yall do realize that Darry was 20 correct? You graduate highschool at 18… boy was either already in college or taking two gap years, can we talk about that for a second?

Like, if you think about it for a SECOND, that doesn’t add up at all 💀

[141n3]

im currently hyperfixating on the outsiders and 1910s-20s russia so im making like a crossover AU lmk if yall are interested in like fics or smth

so far i have the gang + cherry’s russian names and am working on political parties and stances on the revolution😁

screenshots below

Gang + cherry russian names

PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT RUSSIAN NOR DO I HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE WORKS SO ANY SPELLING ERRORS PLEASE LMK PROPER SPELLING🙏

note: i just changed soda, pony, johnny, and darry’s names bc they werent accurate so heres the new and improved version!

[sadie-bug345]

the gang as classes i’m taking this year 🤓☝️

is this a way for me to flex my fucked schedule? yes.

ponyboy:

AP Lit

ARE WE SURPRISED

likeeeee this is pony to a T

we’re currently reading the crucible (my school starts HELLA early in the year)

and pony is surprisingly vibing w the salem witch trials

a good amount of homework for this class, but since the majority is reading pony’s got that down

he does get super bored when they’re just taking notes though like his imagination just runs free

johnny:

APUSH ?? 🧍‍♀️

uhhh this was one i don’t really think would fit johnny but i only have 6 classes and calling “lunch” a class is reserved for steve

honestly this class is super quiet except the table i sit at with my friends so i think if johnny was with the gang (PRETEND THEY ALL GO TO SCHOOL OKAY🤨) or at least ponyboy he’d have a good old time

lots and lots and lots of notes but johnny kinda likes just independent work like that ykwim

group projects with random people suck the SOUL OUTTA HIM

darry:

sports med 2 ⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🥎‼️

darry would love this class at first solely cause there’s the word “sports” in it

this class has like 15 people in it, most are kinda jerks but he gets through it

when it comes to helping out the athletic trainer on game days after school, darry is THERE and he’s PREPARED

years of momming around teenage boys has prepared him to….tape some random kids wrist i guess

dally:

anatomy and physiology 🧍‍♀️☝️

HEAR ME OUT

first of all, i’d love to study human anatomy w him any day of the week💀🥰🤭😏😼

SECOND OF ALL, i think bros psychopathic tendencies would come out during dissection labs /j

in all seriousness though i feel like he’d be totally fearless when doing those typa labs like everyone’s kinda grossed out and scared (irl we gotta dissect a RABBIT😭🫢) and dally’s just like

”idk what yall are on about, mannn🙄”

also it’s a notoriously easy class at my school so that’s up dally’s lane for sure

two-bit:

pre calc🫢

NOW HEAR ME OUT AGAIN

the only reason i say this is because this year we got a new teacher to teach my pre calc class and she’s from some eastern european country and has an accent just like Grus from despicable me😭😭😭and that class is SO QUIET

and that’s kinda where two shines like he’ll yell out so much random shit in that class and it’s so hilarious to…

pretty much only his friends 🧍‍♀️ but that’s kinda the fun part though

lots of homework but you’re delusional if you think two-bits gonna actually do that

soda:

photo 2

the majority of the time spent in this class is just messing around on your computer which soda loves

like bro will find the most outta pocket and weird stuff to photograph

but also he gets real artsy with it sometimes just cause he’s messing around

surprisingly it turns out super good sometimes

he’s the king in general of being just as shocked as anyone that hes succeeding as a whole

steve:

LUNCH

bro struggles through the entire day just for these 20 minutes istg

like bro endures so much in classes he doesn’t understand with people he doesn’t like just for those moments😭😭

honestly that’s me during seasonal depression winter

hes the type to stop everyone during lunch and just rant about all the weird shit that happened throughout that day

like he’s def the type to see someone get jumped or do something weird in class and think

”man i gotta tell the gang about this at lunch”

actually doesn’t mind school food…😭

OK IDRK WHAT THIS WAS THIS KINDA SUCKED BUT ANYWAYS MY INBOX IS OPEN BYEEEEE🥰🥰

[johnnycakesswitch]

Details I noticed while rereading The Outsiders- Chapter 3

Chapter 1 Chapter 2

• Pony says the west side of town where Cherry and Marcia live was “only” about 20 miles away and Two-Bit offered to WALK them home

• the greasers canonically think Elvis is tuff and don’t like the Beatles

• Soda worked at the stables when he was just 12- this was probably his very first job

• Pony cried right along with Soda when Mickey Mouse got sold and saved his money for a year thinking he could buy him back for Soda

• Two-Bit tells Pony not to get mouthy when he starts mumbling under his breath 💀

• Ponyboy says that they can look meaner than anything when they want to

• Two-Bit asked for Marcia’s number and she gave it to him, but he assumed it was fake

• Ponyboy describes Tim as actually enjoying being a greaser. He says Two-Bit just takes it, Soda ignores it and loves life anyway, and Dally hardened himself beyond caring

• Pony used to have a yeller cur dog

• the Curtis parents only died 8 months prior to the book

• when Pony is imagining life out in the country with his parents still alive and his brothers, he thinks that maybe Johnny could come live with them 🥺

• Dally and Mrs. Curtis got along really well and she could keep him out of trouble

• when Pony asks what time it is Johnny goes “I don't know. I went to sleep, too, listening to you rattle on and on” 😭😭

• people always say the slap in the movie was so dramatic more bc in the movie it was more of a push than a slap but in the book it does say that Darry slapped him so hard that it knocked him against the door

• Johnny asked no questions just immediately ran “several blocks” w pony when he said they were running away. A real one fr

• "I think I like it better when the old man's hittin' me." Johnny sighed. "At least then I know he knows who I am. I walk in that house, and nobody says anything. I walk out, and nobody says anything. I stay away all night, and nobody notices. At least you got Soda. I ain't got nobody.” Wow my heart just broke into pieces

That’s all for this time yall, I’ll try to do chapter 4 soon :)

[se-hinton-confessions]

.

[yes0another0outsiders0blog]

Finally rereading The Outsiders like I said I would. I think I'll probably be doing a chapter a day, even though it's short enough that I could probably bust it out in one or two sittings. I'm really prone to burnout and I am trying to write a bit each day and I have a job to work and adult tasks to do and such, so a chapter sounds like a good goal with that considered.

Also, I'm sick as a fucking dog while reading this first chapter. Not relevant, just a little fun fact.

Anyway, have my thoughts while I read it!!

The Outsiders Reread : Chapter One Notes

less than a page in and I'm already tired of Ponyboy being Not Like The Other Girls

he's 14, that's positive, I should not be able to stomach a well-written 14 year old on account of them acting very 14, but also shut the fuck up

"yeah, I read books, unlike EVERYONE ELSE" go to hell

not to intentionally misread and water down a character, but Ponyboy saying "but sometimes I just don't use my head" is literally all you need to fucking know. that's it, that's the book

we get it, Pony, you come from a very hot family, yall are all conventionally attractive. paragraphs, ffs

also, I love that Soda doesn't drink. that he has a drunk on life attitude. could absolutely never be me, love that for him, unfortunately I fw Two-Bit's vibes with alcohol a bit more--

and the fact that Soda is the only one that can tease Darry.

there isn't a single positive thing said about Dallas besides "I didn't like him, but he was smart and you had to respect him." but frfr he's so great.

but if I met any of these fuckers irl Soda is the only one that I'd have a chance in hell at not hating. and that's only because he seems like he'd be enough of an emotionally/socially intelligent people-pleaser to actively try to get someone to like him, lol.

kinda salty about Johnny being called the gangs pet, wtf Ponyboy. not like he's one person's main reason to live, is SUCH fucking ride or die, later kills a man for Pony. but yeah, he's a pet. he tags along. what the fuck ever, man. if anything, Ponyboy (you know, the person that's mainly part of the gang bc he tags along with his older brothers, the BABY of the group, the quiet & sensitive one that doesn't have a single braincell outside of pure booksmarts) is the pet. like, sure, Johnny has trauma and is really quiet, but let's be so fr right now.

despite what is said in the book (bc it's Ponyboy's pov so we only get his perspective, obviously) I'm sure Darry gets after Soda too.

also, oldest children that become parental figures in some degree are allowed to be mean to their baby siblings. it's our right. as a 20-something year old with a young teen baby brother with common sense in the negatives, I am very biased in saying that Darry is always objectively 100% correct in every situation ever (heavily exaggerating, I just relate a lot).

forever mad that we don't get more Sylvia!!! my most random fav!!! so much love to her!!! she's basically an oc with how little we get of her and how many headcanons I have, I don't even really like the main fanon version of her either, but GOD she's my girl fr

NO BECAUSE WHEN I WAS 14 IF SOMEONE PULLED THEIR OWN KNIFE TO DO A DISSECTION THE WAY MY TONGUE WOULD BE DOWN THEIR THROAT. Ponyboy, babygirl, you did NOT deserve for that girl to hate on you like that. RUDE.

"Dallas deserves everything he gets, and should get worse, if you want the truth." agreed, that's my though process as I'm making the nastiest headcanons for him. my life's goal is to make this man suffer or make him into a loser, and all my hcs do both

breaks my heart so much how Ponyboy talks about Darry, leave my boy ALONE, dude!!!

my headcanons for Darry are usually the exact opposite of my hcs for Dally, I just want this guy to have the very best ong. I'll get so unrealistic with it too, bitch, YES I'll give you an absolutely stunning sugar mommy, babe!! just stop being stressed and stop having bad things happen for a few minutes!!! I almost struggle making in character, good headcanons for him because I just want to give him fluff and filler only and nothing else--

[2knightt]

AHHH

please, leo, i need more rockstar au content. I just- aught. I need headcannons. I need something. I currently now have brainrot bc of you and im enjoying it so much. Two-bit putting a bucket of glitter ontop of door that Tim then walks through. Tim chasing after him trying to get him back. Dallas smirking as he watches the chaos ensue. People cheering when Tim goes onstage glittery, and Two-bit all wet.

AHHHYOURE SO RIGHTTTTAKSNKRJW

“two-bit?! what the fuck?!”

“ew! don’t come near me, princess poppy!”

dallas actually gives johnny + ponyboy posters of his band, acting like he just blessed them.

“yeah, yeah. yall ain’t gotta thank me—i alreaddyy know.”

“this lighting on you sucks, dal.”

“yeah—sorry.”

two-bit says that sodapop should join them all the time but i feel like tim cannot stand his happy-go-lucky attitude.

steve one time bought one of their tickets and snuck his way to the front. he was dressed up like a girl to see if i he could get someone’s attention. it worked. dallas kept looking at him and midway thru the concert steve pulls the wig off and dallas was so shocked he stopped singing for like 15 seconds.

darry brags about their band to his co-workers.

“yall know dallas winston n two-bit?”

“them famous people? yea.”

“i know ‘em personally. great kids if you ask me, but—“

and now he’s on a 20 minute rant about them.

[pumpkinsy0]

Hello yall! I'm a writer and I am looking for work. Here are my prices:

$8 for 1 chapter(2,500 words)

$8 for fluf

$10 for sad/comfort

$15 for sad/no comfort

Prices are simi negotiable. The prices are on how much I'd be willing to write that. I tend to do 2 read overs to make sure there's no spelling mistakes/errors.

Dm If your intristed and we can talk about what you want.

I am not doing any nsfw work nor will I be wrighting a entire book. This is for fanfics/short story's. I will not be doing more than 10 chapters.

Example of my work(a outsiders fanfic)

The worst time of my life had to be when my buddy, ponyboy, got real sick.

It was a normal Tusday evening. I decided to go over to my 3 buddies house, there brothers. The oldest is Darry Curtis. He looks like super man. Then there Sodapop Curtis, he's like a movie star. And finally, ponyboy Curtis. The baby. I don't really know how to describe pony. But I'll try my best. He's got brownish red hair and grayish green eyes. He's real smart and shit. He loves art and track. He wasn't into contact sports but boy could he run. He has so many damn medals and were all real proud.

Anyway, it was tusday. I was at the Curtis house, along with Steve. Johnny and dally were doing God know what.

Me, steve and soda were watching tv and darry was cooking when pony finally came out of his room, having finnished his homework. We all said hey and as soon as he sat down, he began coughing. It ain't un usual for someone to cough so we didn't think much of it.

Eventually, dinner was ready. Darry had made salad and chicken so we all sat down and ate. He was glad to have us over for dinner, cause he sees us as his siblings to or something.

As we were eating, pony had a real bad couching fit. Like 10, or 20 minutes of coughing. We all stopped eating and looked at him.

"You good?"

Steve asked. Darry gently patted his back, looking a bit concerned. I mean, I get it. I'd be concerned too.

Ponyboy nods as he keeps couching. He Eventually stops and begins eating again. Odd, but whatever.

We all went to sleep. Me and Steve sleeping in the living room and the 3 brothers sleeping in there respective rooms.

At about 5am, we all woke up. I ain't too sure why, but it was probably beacuse of darrys foot steps or another coughing fit by Pony.

Me and Steve watched at the door way. Sound creepy, and it was. Darry came and went into the room to check on him.

"Hey, pony you okay?"

He asked. Pony nodded but he didn't look to hot so darry out his hand on ponys head.

"Your burning. You must have caught something at school. I'll get you some soup and tea" He got up and walked into the kitchen.

[theootsiders]

Imagine your OTP has just had a small, petty fight or argument. Neither one of them is really upset, they’re just both kind of annoyed. “Come on, you know I love you.” Says person A. “Prove it.” Says person B. “Sure. I’d do anything for you.” Says A. Person B then proceeds to tell A to do something absolutely ridiculous. A gladly does it, much to B’s amusement. -yall are at the drive in with twobit, soda, pony, and dal -you were jokin around with two bit because thats how he isssss -but you know how dal is, hes the jealous type. -dal comes back from getting popcorn for the gang and hes FUMING -all the creative swear words. all of em. -he makes a big fuss over throwing the popcorn in the trashcan so literally everyone turns around and you catch a glimpse of him running away -”oh my god! not again dal!” -you run home after him cause yall live pretty close to the drive in -and everyone knows not to mess with dally winstons girlfriend so you know that no ones gonna try anything on you -you can take care of your own but yknow how he is. overprotective. too overprotective -no seriously he once flipped a blade on someone talkin with you. just talking -you didnt even know the guy you were just standing outside of school waiting for dal to pick you up and the guy just asked if there was a quiz the next day and boom theres a blade -”dallas winston.” “y/n y/l/n.” “why are you like this?” “because i am.” “oh my GOD dallas. i dont fucking get it two bit talks like hell to anyone and everyone. you cant expect him to stop. am i not allowed to talk to anyone anymore? what the hell is your problem?” “god, y/n.” “what now?” -it was short but it was enough. -he just storms into yalls room and slams the door shut -and you just feel hopeless and scared and you wonder if you hurt him too bad even though hes taken more but youve always been delicate around him cause you dont wanna push him around more than hes already been pushed -but still both of you are way too stubborn to actually talk to each other -and you know hes just annoyed and he just doesnt wanna lose you. two bit has his humour. soda is (to put it lightly) an angel sent from heaven. ponys sweet and smart. darrys hardworking and caring. steves got the same interest in cars as you. hell even johnnys got somethin, even if he looks like a baby and hes like yours and dallys kid but what does dally have. he always wonders what he has cause hes just a troublemaker and hes in jail a lot and gets into fights what does he HAVE. -but you know he has so much more than just being a troublemaker -so much more. -finally you get up cause you cant stand being without him for a long period of time -spoiler alert -it was like 20 minutes -you walk in and say in your shitty impression of him “come on doll, you know i love you!” -hes lying down turned away from you but you can still hear the smile in his voice when he says “prove it.” -you sit down on the bed and say “sure. i’d do anything for you, doll.” -he sits up and says,” do somethin’ stupid.” -”ok well,” you thought and remembered,” one time, i shit my pants at a rodeo because I thought the whole reason they were doing this was to ram the horse into the crowd.” -he laughs his weird laugh and you melt again and everything's alright -”you were a smart kid, eh babe? thats my y/n” -you turn off the light and nuzzle into his chest -and he thinks you're sleeping and he whispers,”why was I ever mad at you, hon? You didn't do nothin’, baby.” he smoothes your hair down and kisses the top of your head and even quieter he says “I love you.” -a minute later you say,”I know.”

[cade-flrt]

YUP YUP YUP

the way people portray darry gets me SO MAD beyond belief bc he was trying. yes he had his flaws, don’t get me wrong, but we all do duh😭 he lost his parents, had to pay bills and look after his younger brothers all by the age of 19/20. it would be stressful and imo, he handled it better than most people (especially those who act like he’s satan‘s respawn for it) would be able to. well, better than i would be able to i would fold in 2 seconds and end up having a breakdown 😭😭

like people find excuses for why dally can be an outright shitty person and like literally a bitch to everyone, but when it comes to darry it’s ‘he shouldn’t have treated pony like that’. yes, he shouldn’t have, but at least he listened and tried to grow. dally just didn’t care and was stubborn & petty so he just didn’t listen and look where that got him 😐

and don’t even get me started on steve 😭 people just seem to think steve is a really bad person but that’s only because it’s the way pony sees/portrays him. if you don’t like someone, of course most things they do you’re not going to like. like when i don’t like someone, the way they walk will get me annoyed and i’ll roll my eyes at it but when my friend walks the same way i don’t even think twice😭 and when they bring up steve’s cake and two bit’s mickey every single goddamn second it makes me want to bash my head into the wall

obviously, there’s nothing wrong with only watching the movie as i know a lot of people (especially nd people) struggle to read especially for long periods of time! but don’t go around judging the characters when they’re being spoken about in the book context. because in my opinion, with dally especially, the movie and book characters are so diff 😭

because like i can kinda see where movie dally would be able to have a redemption arc. but book dally is too far gone and simply doesn’t care.

and for fanfics, they do realise again that dally was stubborn. arguments wise, he would probably most likely just ignore u even if it was for weeks until u folded just so he wouldn’t have to apologise. and if he wouldn’t do that, he’d just walk up to you and pretend nothing happened and completely ignore the situation at hand.

or like if you were sick, i don’t think he’d care much. he probably would call you overdramatic and just be like ‘yeah k whatever’. he’d only care if it was like really serious 😭 same with your issues and problems he wouldn’t care much. if your issues and problems wasn’t a walking talking man or had to do with a walking talking man, he wouldn’t care. because then he could beat them up which would also help his reputation, so end up benefitting him in the end.

dally only really cared for things that benefitted him in the end, because in my opinion, he had a very ‘i’ve already hit rock bottom so if it doesn’t help me i shouldn’t care’ type of mentality yk? so no, he wouldn’t be a ‘cute toxic bf🥺🥺’ the relationship would be absolute hell for you to even be in so good luck with staying with him for more than a good two months (if ur lucky).

but yeah dally totally would do anything for his girl yall!!!1!1!1!1 /s

i love him but if dally wasn’t an attractive white man, *some* of u guys wouldn’t sympathise with him as much as u guys do and wouldn’t defend him with yalls life as much as *some* of u guys do 😞😞
