A jitney and jeepney for National Heritage Month.

One is a "jitney" in San Francisco, CA picking up passengers on a Castro-Ferry route in 1915, while the other is a jeepney in Quezon City for the Cubao-QMC route today.

"Jitney" was a word coined by African-Americans in the Southern US more than 100 years ago. By 1915 it referred to cars with signs indicating routes, many of which served underserved neighborhoods.

OH MY GOD AND PLEASE YALL LETS NOT FORGET WHEN MELODY JOKED ABOUT SHARKCARD DURING SOC SATURDAY

[daddyscaddyandliquor]

super very random post about a few hcs i have for the socs !!

MARCIA :

- she does ballet and is actually really good !!

- she writes letters to people but never sends them just to soothe herself

- the biggest beatles fan to ever exist ever

- #1 paul holden hater

BEV :

- she cut her bob herself and she used to have very long hair

- literally never not at brill’s house i fear

- she (contrary to popular belief) actually does enjoy fighting

- her dream is to move to the beach and live on a beach house with brill

CHERRY :

- nancy sinatara = life

- she’s a flyer on the cheer team

- even when she’s with chet she accidentally calls him bob sometimes because unfortunately she sees bob in literally everything (especially chet’s alcoholism)

- she still has bob’s letterman jacket even years after he died

CHET :

- chocolate. he is obsessed with chocolate, if there is a chocolate flavor and it’s available it will be chosen

- he’s constantly covered in dog hair due to his dad’s k-9s (taken inspo from @sky4cherry again)

- youngest in his family 100% (and of the boys)

- bev is literally his big sister and it’s definitely totally by blood 100%

BRILL :

- only one of the guys that can truly handle his liquor

- he doesn’t mind jumping people, but prefers a ‘fair fight’

- the oldest child of his family and is actually the best big brother to grace the earth

- has had a crush on bev since middle school and even asked her to their middle school dance

BOB :

- paul is literally his actual brother wdym🤨

- once introduced marcia as his sister in front of the whole group + her and had never been more embarrassed

- he had a sickeningly huge crush on cherry before they got together

- another inspo he wears lilac because cherry one time told him he looked really good in it and now it’s suddenly his favorite color

TRIP :

- lives with his grandma and grandpa + melvin

- the best fighter in the group

- cherry and trip best friends agenda

- martrip goes downhill when he throws the first punch at two-bit in justice for tulsa (look at marley’s post about this it is SICK in the best way)

PAUL :

- sees himself in bob a LOT

- the one who taught the boys to fight

- was NOT okay when him and darry had their falling out. he became SOOO mean

- has referred to bev and marcia as “brill’s broad” and “trip’s broad” before and received two punches from two VERY angry boyfriends

lmk if i should do a greasers version !!

[alaskan-wallflower]

ok but bev, marcia and cherry as the mean girls?

so bev is regina-she’s the richest person in probably all of tulsa, she pretty much has full reign of whatever she wants to do and she’s overall a bitch (which is canon as melody said herself)-she probably does flirt with like…everyone, and maybe she is one of the only socs who really is just horribly spoiled

cherry is gretchen-she feels like she has to keep everyone’s secrets, especially when it comes to feelings towards the greasers and stuff. she’s the mediator often times and she kinda feels like she has to conform with what society says is okay. and at the end of the movie gretchen cut ties with regina, and cherry did the same thing i think

marcia is karen, the one everyone believes to be a ditz. they think she doesn’t know much, she may be a little bit aloof sometimes but she isn’t actually stupid, per se. just a little bit of a blonde (even if she’s not blonde). i feel like part of that might be an act to try and “fit in” but after she met and maybe got together with two bit she dropped tae act and ended up being one of the smartest people in her grade.

maybe ace could be cady, the one to take down regina lol

[wassupmygays]

there used to be a part in Hopeless War where marcia and bev sent their boyfriends off to the rumble and kissed them goodbye...... oh girl i need to see this

(here's sg mentioning it on an old ss live)

[sky4cherry]

what would the socs spending halloween together b like

okay so costume ideas based on my unpublished fic hehe:

bev and brill: nurse and doctor

marcia: pippi longstocking

cherry: a cat

trip: frankenstein

chet: a sailor

paul: a vampire

bob: boring (no costume)

now on to actual hcs!! not many unfortunately bc im watching movies w my housemates rn !!

bob doesn’t like dressing up, but he looooves throwing an absolute rager

honestly i think the socs have a rager on the most convenient friday near the day, while actual halloween is reserved for the boys forcing the girls to watch horror movies 🙂‍↕️

I JUST KNOW CHET FUCKS SO HARD W CARRY ON SCREAMING (1966)

there’s a lot of paul and brill jumping out from around the corner and terrifying everyone else (especially bob LMAO)

not era accurate but brill is so randy meeks (from scream) coded to me (chet and bob are stu and billy)

melvin and sergei are contractually obliged to give paul and chet a piece of candy each if they don’t wanna be completely robbed

[specific-dreamer]

darry and paul having their falling out/breakup after the curtis parents die and paul ofc not understanding why he would choose his friends over himself, paul just not understanding that kind of love/loyalty. bev entering at the peak of their fight and asking what’s goin on and she’s confused why he would want to go back to being a greaser. darry says something like “being a greaser isn’t a physical thing; it’s who i am. i would think you of all people would understand” and that’s when bev becomes the bev we meet in the show. that’s when bev comes across as this cruel and evil person because she’s just lost the only confidant she’s ever had and she’s scared paul might start to question what darry meant by that so she’s lashing out at any greaser bc obviously if she’s not scared to hurt them than she can’t be close to them or was ever one of them right ?

[asexual-juliet]

OMG i was thinking abt ur japanese-american brill fic and. omg. ryo brill and anna bev??!! both bonding bc they’re the only poc socs??? and they both wear orange?????? sorry they so cute

stop because i have been thinking about this since anna’s bev debut and it’s so 💕💕💕 matching orange bevbrill is so important to me and yeah japanese american brill x hispanic bev has soooo much potential!!

also am deeply obsessed with the matching color couple dynamic & have been mapping out other possibilities in my head lmfao… think we will prob get matching blue trip/marcia when bev is on for marcia this week and victor/melody could go on as either blue bevbrill or blue trip/marcia but sadly none of the other matching duos (rj/anna & sg/brill) have both actors covering the couples. and henry’s mint green color scheme is a bit too fucked up to find a match lmfao
