Thoughts on Chet’s relationship with the other socs? Cuz bro has a crush on Cherry and Bev, which is… interesting

ok to be honest i feel like Everyone has had a crush on Beverly Jitney-Bush at some point in time. but they all know never to try anything because those two are rock solid, and also theyre scared of Bev. fortunately Brill is too whipped for her to even notice, otherwise all the guys would have a broken nose.

anyways. oh chet. unfortunately i think this poor kid flips wildly between feeling like he has the best buddies in the world and feeling like he really hates everything. having most of your friend group paired off into lovey dovey couples will do that to ya.

in my brain he is closest with bob and trip. him and bob are very much 'our dads are best buddies so we grew up as best buddies' core, and i think him and trip are always in sports together in hs. i dont know how football works but if theres some spots on the team that lets them be a dynamic duo, theyre that. im saying this bc those two are always next to each other in blocking and especially in the fights, theyre the ones holding someone back together. trip also has broken chet's nose bc chet tried to call him "dipp-shit" (credits to @nccturneee and @sondheim-girly for this one teehee). also melvin dipp is to chet as ponyboy is to steve.

bro has definitely had a crush on cherry ever since he got to tulsa in like 3rd grade or whatever. he is nawt a homewrecker but he is really stupidly happy when her and bob break up. unfortunately that is immediately spoiled by bob dying in front of him. uhhh yea. sorry bro you cannot catch a break.

i'll stop there for now bc i need to go to bed but chet baker <3 you poor poor 7th wheel. he is so silly tho to me. hes the kid who jumps up to slap every door frame he walks under except hes so freakishly tall that he doesnt have to jump and just hits it full force every time.

✨ Director's commentary on recent hanahaki au ✨

a right to be lonely is the fic in question.

i've had a lot of false starts with trying to do more hanahaki with pony in fic. for some reason it's been really hard for me over the years since i dropped the original ones in 2019/2020. usually because either it's a very long journey to get ponyboy to dallas or because... ponyboy chooses, actively, to not pursue to dallas. he's a lonely figure in hanahaki and usually prefers isolation than to interrupt dallas' life.

so this was part of a prompt for @analognostalgia and instead of trying to wrestle with that i just tried to write a small moment. just ponyboy at home, minding his buisness, not admitting anything. just a glimpse into what his life is like, in the sort of loneliness he's living in a way that's not... bad or good. just it is what it is.

probably my favorite part is how ponyboy finally does leave the house and is annoyed that the movie he saw was bad LMAO.

favorite line is this one, summing things up: "It's okay. His heart wasn't owed to me, and he's happy with someone else. And I ain't a homewrecker, neither."

ponyboy homewrecking jally vs homewrecking cherry/dallas is different in flavor but always satisfying
