watching ggah from today show and love that soda yells "cmon darry!" at one point. like it does show that soda still feels he can call darrel by his childhood nickname like he does in the book esp bc i feel like darry going by darrel is him trying tb older (and only paul called him tht in the book specifically) and losing the nickname he always went by. ig kind of a rant but i thought it was cute

the musical really executes darry and soda’s relationship so well, i’m so happy they gave those two their moments since no other outsiders media really gave them the examination they deserve :((

like them sharing a cigarette before the rumble, placating each other, the entirety of titt…. mmmmmhmmmm

i also agree that within the context of the musical, it’s indicative of darry aging beyond his years. pretty much everyone around him (minus steve rip🙏) goes by a nickname that everyone else uses. the use of the name “darry” is confined to very few people, the ones who don’t view him with any level of contempt. it’s something that isolates him further from the greasers and in turn, lends him over to the socs.

but also shitttttt u right it’s cute asl, give me more darry and soda please lord🧎🏻‍♀️

could write multiple fanfics on the idea of “darrel has to stop himself from smiling in ggah”!!! how do u think brents characterization/acting of darrel is?

haha please do. and tag me so i can read them! i have so many fic ideas and a lot are darrel centered. and i have to say, i wasn't a big darrel fan until i first saw the show! and i think a lot of that has to do with brent and the script.

not sure if that it's partial brent breaking and partial maybe even darrel wishing he could almost join them. i think he misses how carefree and relaxed (to an extent) he could be as greaser. but he had to grow up.

brent's overall is very stoic. besides him i've only seen victor, who plays more angry/annoyed. but brent's darrel, you can see he's tired and unhappy that he can't break out of tulsa. there's a line from ritfr "taking care of family is feeling overrated" brent and jason share this look every time and soda almost looks ashamed. but he loves his brothers!! titt is my favorite song in the show and i think brent does a wonderful job singing and acting out darrel's emotions in this song!

noticed a couple little things today! like right after the slap brent kept whispering "pony, pony" as if he was trying to apologize. also when the greasers enter in runs in the family two-bit runs by and says "hi muscles" and darrel glared at him lol.

it really does fuck me up that kai never asks for anything more than what he's given, because all he's been given is seemingly more than what someone like him 'deserves' anyhow... for sara's parents to love him at all, to go so far as to trust him, is more than enough. everything they've offered him, are treasures he'll cherish. he loves them so much. even if he feels their trust is misplaced, wasted on him - he offers them his trust.

just finished Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World. Mr. Sáenz how did you distill the concept of love into a book, not once, but TWICE?

ooo yes any specific small details u noticed abt darrels performance and ggah is always interesting!!

I saw Victor last two times and after seeing Brent today, I really noticed how different they play Darrel. Like Victor argues with Soda just as ggah starts and he is super pouty in his corner. But Brent's Darrel really just observes, and almost has to stop himself from smiling.

Also I really love Darrel's joy in hth! Like he practically rips the newspaper out of their hands and excitedly swats Soda's arm. I hate that it's like one of the only moments we see him really happy.

Ohhh! And a moment I loved that I really never noticed before right after Johnny's death! So Dally yells "that's what you get for saving people you little punk" and Soda always moves to comfort him. Dally always recoils/pushes back which sends Soda (and really everyone) away. But this time Darrel moved quickly in between them and put his hands up to protect Soda and it was really sweet and sad.

Also Brent's hair is getting so long and I love it lol
