Realizing Ponyboy would be the last one standing in the gang hurts me. This is how I’d think it’d play out.
Johnny was the first one to die, from burns from the fire but he died a hero
Dally not too long after that, in Ponyboy’s heart, he’d die a hero as well. Despite Dally’s reputation and how Pony states, he didn’t quite exactly like Dally, (I don’t remember the correct wording he used) he still looked up to him, still admired his mean looks. He was like another brother to Pony.
Then, his brother gets drafted into Vietnam a few years later after the book. Steve wanted to get drafted as well, where Soda goes he goes. But Soda tried to keep him out. I’d always headcanoned both he and Steve to get drafted. But Steve makes it out alive. When Steve returns without his brother—someone who’d he’d promise the Curtis brothers he’d protect and bring home alive—Ponyboy just runs to him and hugs Steve who holds Soda’s uniform before Darry. The trio crumple to the floor, grieving over another brother.
Then Steve would die of a broken heart. Literally. Like how Johnny was to Dally, Soda was not only his best friend, but the one he loved the most. The one person who seemed to understand him, despite their long time friendship since they were kids. He’d try to get back to work at the DX, but every time he enters the station, he gets whiplashes of Soda and it led him to insanity, it almost scared Pony, Darry and Two. Ponyboy feared it must have been the PTSD hitting him and he was right. Even a year after Soda’s death, Steve drinks himself in denial. And, on one fateful night, he gets in his car and drives under the influence of drinking. Suffice it to say, he felt at peace finally and sees Soda’s smiling face. The police found him like that, faced up and smiling.
Two-Bit would have been next. He’d live a relatively good life. He’d marry, much to Darry’s surprise. He’d even tried to stop drinking after Steve’s death. He tried to be strong for the two remaining Curtis brothers which is why he’s trying to stop. He’s trying to help Darry with supporting Ponyboy in his college years by earning himself a job and helping around the house. Whenever the pain of Soda, Steve’s, Dally’s and Johnny’s death play out, he’d resorted to drinking again. He never told anyone. Not even his wife. Though Darry suspected she knew but she wouldn’t tell him. Darry received a call from work one day. It was Keith’s wife and she gave him the news. Two-Bit Matthews died from excessive drinking. She found him in his bed still that morning, unresponsive. Darry didn’t take it well to say the least.
And finally, Darry would have been the second to last one. He’d die of cancer and old age. But Ponyboy was by his side when it happened in the hospital. Along with Darry’s wife and kids. Ponyboy squeezed Darry’s pale hands in his, tears on his cheeks as he tried to remain strong for Darry and his family. Under the medicine’s influence, Darry’d mention their parents, Steve and the gang. He’d even mention Sodapop which brought more tears to Pony’s face. Finally, Darry turned to his brother and whispered, “I love you, baby. Keep that strong heart.” And finally, his last words to his baby brother would be: “I’m sorry.” Ponyboy would sob into his brother’s chest, saying he forgives him. That he always had.
Now, Ponyboy Michael Curtis sits on his childhood home a few years after Darry’s death, roughly into his mid seventies, sitting on the porch, Gone with the Wind in his lap, staring off into the sunset. And he smiles, hearing Johnny’s voice in his ears: “Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.”

Her giggles were high and bright. Her little legs raced through the courtyard fast as a whip. He wild hair swept back by the speed with which she dodged his great big hands. He was laughing too; loud and boisterous. Delighting in the chase even as she continued to surprise him with her speed. It felt like she grew faster and stronger every day.
Finally he snatched up her tiny frame and smothered her flushed face and brilliant smile with his auburn whiskers. She wiggled and squirmed in his grasp as he growled playfully.
"Naughty children will be fed to the frost giants."
"Noooooo. Daddyyyyy."
Her whine is quickly interrupted with more bubbling laughter as his clever fingers worm there way to her most sensitive soft spots. The tickling carries on for several minutes before the stubborn girl finally cries uncle, begging mercy breathlessly.
He chuckles as he peppers her chubby face with kisses, enveloping her fully in his thick arms. The safest place she could ever be and the happiest he has ever been. Paradise could not compare to the love he feels for his child in this rare moment.

mmm not to be a solasmancer on main but im thinking about those few days after the Cole debacle if a solavellan Inquisitor encourages him to remain a spirit. just. Solas, watching her fret so much in the aftermath, terrified that she may have taken someone's choice away, worried that she influenced what Cole wanted somehow, watching her sheer relief and unbridled joy after Cole's, free and light and brimming with happy incredulity, "but you didn’t change, didn’t make me change. Thank you". He watches her, and thinks of Mythal. Thinks of devotion, and abuse. Regret. Thinks of Cole, and spirits and Wisdom and Pride- Thinks, wistfully, achingly, "in her hands, I might have been safe".
#i know the fandom (myself included) had already pretty solidly agreed on the Was a Spirit until Mythal made him an Elvhen thing#but having the canon confirmation and the heartbreaking dialog about it really just#makes a lot of Solas' past little moments in dai so much more poignant#i already have SO many emotions about the Spirit Cole path#like the follow up scene makes me cry almost every time and now!??#da:v#datv#da:v spoilers#datv spoilers#veilguard#veilguard spoilers#dragon age veilguard#dragon age veilguard spoilers#solas#solavellan#cole dai#ugh

In Greek mythology, great heroes who have not been able to obtain godhood are granted a form of immortality by having their stories reflected in the stars.

And to think the animated movie version of Nimona was almost this close to being shelved if Netflix had not picked it up.
Yes, it’s good. It’s very good. I’ll let other people talk about the plot points, the characters and the pretty nifty soundtrack. (Santogold? Yes, please.)
I am here to talk about the animation.
Watching this movie made me realize what I don’t like about Pixar movies lately. Yes, Pixar’s the king of realism. And, yes, Nimona is way more design simple compared to Pixar. But the one thing Nimona has over Pixar is how the characters move.
Pixar characters don’t really move. Yes, they walk. Yes, they gesture. Yes, they will do things.
But they don’t “act.”
For example, there are many parts of Nimona where you could turn off the sound and still follow the story like it was a silent movie of old. The characters’ body language and facial language tell a story on their own. They fill up a whole screen with their mannerisms. This is Buster Keaton. This is Charlie Chaplin. This is Harold Llyod.
You don’t really get that with Pixar. And while that was fine years ago because everyone was striving for realism and Pixar was showing everyone how to animate hair, now, it’s.....boring.
Realism isn’t the end goal anymore. It’s a one trick pony that really should be out to pasture. Now people want to see what else you can do with animation. Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse showed that there are a wide range of styles you can pull from. Even taking ideas from Impressionism, Modern pop art (Check out Jean-Michel Bisquiat) and commercial art (See Bollywood film posters for example). Nimona is now showing how much acting range you can get from their animation. I’ve already watched it twice. Once for the story. The other just to watch the characters “act.” I’ll probably watch it a few more times because that animation, THAT ANIMATION!
I want more of that. Take notes, Pixar.

still fucking pissed about the way im being treated by my professor. she basically told me to my face that my trans experiences & opinions were too advanced and complicated for our class, & that she had to teach them the basics...
and what exactly are those basics? cis people. cis experiences. cis opinions. this is not intersectionality. "basic feminism" should not mean white cis feminism. & i feel like she is projecting onto my classmates, many of whom seem very interested in what I have to say. one cis boy in my class even tried raising questions about nonbinary people based on those in his life, and she shut him down because she refused to understand what he was talking about. she's just fucking obsessed with her idea of feminism while trying to feel like an intersectional ally yet the minute ANYONE brings up trans people when she doesn't want them to, she throws a little fit.
just. when exactly are cis people supposed to learn about us? i am used to having to explain transness to cis people. i am willing to do that! i am willing to simplify it if need be! but cis adults & older teens can handle being challenged a little bit. in fact I'd say it's pretty healthy for them to be introduced to trans theory as part of their introduction to feminism, especially in an age where transness is a major part of the ongoing culture war. but noooo god forbid this cis woman's ego is challenged in the slightest. god forbid i have an original thought about gender that i didn't get from her fucking textbook
#she almost made me cry today + frankly if i was younger and more alone#and less aware of how my autism + autistic trauma makes me vulnerable to manipulation#i would be more angry at myself than at her#m.#this is pretty personal but y'all can reblog if you stay chill abt it

shout out to the very distinct feeling of 'oh god i'm going to become at least mildly annoying about this aren't i'. binging ds9 season 1 and i outright giggled at a very small mannerism julian did. got hyped when o'brien showed up. grinned widely at kira just Being There. felt the urge to yell and cheer and scream at the slightest hint of whump. the character dynamics and friendships are beginning to interweave like strings in a tapestry and i almost detonated upon realising this. uh oh.
#listen if you chuck any hint of found family or close friendships into a show ill go rabid#i can feel myself getting attached#i almost yelled and had to pause and take a second to stare at the ceiling#it is 2 in the morning#not equipped for rambling#ds9#star trek ds9#star trek#granted idk if im gonna feel the same soul crushing love for ds9 that i did for tos cause tos is my first love and it aches me to leave kir#however#i love you sisko.#deep space nine#julian bashir#miles o'brien#etcetera etcetera#theyre so SILLY theres so much tomfoolery i uovee themmm#for those interested (hello??) this post spawned because i watched julian tilt back and smile slightly awkwardly but kindly as an alien guy#got in his face and assessed him out of curiosity#and that small acting mannerism coupled with o'brien fucking Being There just made me go insane fsr#the way hes slightly blurred and in the background#theyre all just chilling on this starbase and theyre weaving together and it makes me want to cry a little#IM ON EPISODE FUCKING SIX

steve dying in robins arms, comforting and consoling her with: “Hey, hey, it’s okay Bobs, I’ll be okay. Ed—Eddie’s here an—“ he cuts himself off with bloody cough and a rattling breathy laugh, looking over her shoulder. “Eddie’s here, Rob, says ‘I gotcha now, big boy.’. It’s okay, he’s got me, you can let me go. I love you, Robin, you can let me—“
and then he’s gone.

was listening to music while driving, as one does, when my brain, the silly little thing goes:
wouldn’t it be funny if dick grayson killed the joker (who stays dead because he deserves to be) for killing jason and goes through a whole breakdown over whether or not jason would approve of what he did, ultimately deciding that no, jason the happy robin would not be happy with his big brother, no matter how strained their relationship may have been before his death, killing a man out of revenge
cue jason as red hood, pre identify reveal, asking nightwing about what happened to the joker (because of course bruce had it covered up, because in his twisted little mind, a vigilante permanently taking out the mass murderer who is singlehandedly the number one cause of death in gotham would break the gothamites’ trust in them). nightwing admits, because since the joker is dead jason doesn’t have a reason to push the dramatics as much, he’s just fucking with the bats and keeping crime alley safe, and jason has his turn at a breakdown because he just found out someone actually avenged him
emotional reunion. everyone is happy. the end.
#yes it was If I Killed Someone For You by alec benjamin that brought this on#yes i almost made myself cry while i was DRIVING#yes i know it’s unsafe. no my brain doesn’t know that. obviously.#dc fanfiction#dc fanfic prompt#nightwing#dick grayson#jason todd#red hood#the joker dies. fuck him.#i should write that. try my hand at a little angst#but for now it will exist as this silly little prompt and make people suffer on tumblr#both from the story and from the fact that it doesn’t (as far as im aware) exist in fic format#fanfic prompt#music makes my brain go brrr#overactive imagination#its a problem at this point#but lets ignore that

do you think that when mary read the paper celebrating that arthur was likely dead that she combed new hanover, desperately trying to find a gang member who could tell her that it was a lie and arthur was fine
do you think she ran around saint denis, intentionally putting herself in danger to try to find a lead. that she saw charles and recognized him from the papers as one of the gang and despite being scared, asked him about arthur and pressed when he refused to answer
do you think she had to tell stories of their time together to prove she was who she said. and that she couldn’t take it when charles offered to show her where he’d been buried.
do you think they sat on that mountain and talked about arthur like he was there, both reminiscing on the love of their life, no jealousy to be had, just solace in being able to grieve with someone who understood.
do you think they kept in touch, an odd friendship formed over the shared love of a dead man.
because i do. i think that for as long as they could, they sent letters back and forth, making sure someone was always there maintaining the area around the grave marker and ensuring that there was always something there. be it a bouquet of flowers that arthur would have said he wasn’t a good enough man for or one of those cigarette cards that he swore he only collected for the money (even though he never turned in the completed sets).
i think they would work together to make sure that the last remaining piece of the best man they’d ever met never went forgotten
(i think mary moved to live closer to the grave, put as much love she had left in each petal of each flower on each bouquet. a belated way of apologizing to him that would never be enough)
#i think mary loved arthur but couldn’t stand the idea of learning shed been widowed by a paper celebrating that another outlaw was hanged#so she distanced herself to try to make it hurt less when he inevitably got killed#but instead only felt regret when she found that they’d spent the short time he had left either quarreling or apart from one another#mary linton#charles smith#arthur morgan#charthur#rdr 2#red dead redemption 2#it’s almost midnight and i made myself cry i ain’t editing or spellchecking anything

what if q!bad asks q!forever for the flower of the day? and then he asks for the flower of the day, again? and again, again, all over again. q!forever just sadly smiles… gently handing him flower after flower until it becomes a bouquet in q!bad’s arms

I like it when ppl write Ichigo kissing/touching Grimmjow’s mask, bc that’s such an undeniably Hollow part of him, it’s sharp and dangerous, even scary to some, but Ichigo still loves and cherishes it, for him it’s comforting to touch the jawbone, trace the teeth, bc it means Grimmjow is there, right under his fingertips.
and it’d be comforting for Grimmjow too, bc if he ever doubts that Ichigo really wants this, if any thought of Ichigo closing his eyes and pretending that he’s just another shinigami/human and not a soul-devouring monster creeps into his mind, it is all destroyed with gentle hands, light fingertips and soft lips, bc Ichigo loves Grimmjow, all of him, for who he is, not despite.
#grimmichi#almost made myself cry with this one gotta be honest with you guys#everytime I think ‘grimmichi’ I also think ‘softness’#Grimmjow clocks Orihime’s crush on Ichigo and does nothing about it but is then tortured with ‘insecurity’#Ichigo puts a stop to that bullshit real fast dw#there’s also the Hollow hole stuff but I’ll leave that one to the freaky ones out there#anyway#the inherent intimacy of touching a Hollow’s mask#Grimmjow sees Ichigo’s horn of salvation and immediately starts using it as a handle to shake the shit out of Kurosaki’s ‘dumb orange head’#Ichigo’s brain rattles in his skull so hard he gets a severe concussion the first time around
