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.

y’all aren’t ready for the full essay i could write on the misogyny and racism in this fandom. wdym you hate cherry and blame her for bobs actions. wdym you hate bev for burning two bit when the guys also jumped him. wdym you draw all the musical versions of the outsiders but keep dally white. what do y’all MEANNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[goldencherryskies]

Whatever you do, don't think about Beverly Jitney-Bush who is the third girl in the soc trio, because there is always a duo in a trio, and she met Marcia and Cherry too late to be a part of it. Don’t think about Bev who knows that her place in the group is dependent on her relationship with Brill because she isn’t THAT close with the girls and as much as they all love her, none of the boys would ever take her side over Brill’s, bro code, is what they call it. She’s not really worried, because she knows Brill and her are getting married someday, she would just like to have something like that for herself. Don’t think about how she longs for sleepovers and doing each other's makeups and hair and talking about boys with the other girls, but ends up spending most of her time with Paul, Bob and the rest of the boys. It’s not like Cherry and Marcia are trying to exclude her, they all hangout and gossip and all that, it’s just glaringly obvious that Bev doesn’t quite fit in the tight-knit sister-like bond the two of them share. And there’s always something inside of her that feels like she’s intruding when the three of them hangout on their own. Don’t think about how when Bob dies she is grief-ridden and out for blood and she needs a culprit, someone to blame, someone to make pay for what’s happened and she got mean and ruthless and so, so angry. Don’t think about how all the resentment she didn’t know she had been harboring for Cherry finally bubbles over because it’s her fault, isn’t it? If she hadn’t talked to that greaser kid, Bob wouldn’t have been so angry and seeking revenge and he would still be here. Don’t think about how a small, terrible part of her hopes that maybe, if Cherry is out of the picture, her and Marcia will have a chance to become the sister-like power duo instead.

two pretty best friends

[made-my-peace-with-all-the-bad]

Everyone thinks that of the socs, Bev would take the most time to get ready to go out. They’re wrong. It’s Chet. Chet takes the longest to get ready.

[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 !!

Adorable ship names in this fandom:

Cherrycola - are you serious? This one is literally so cute.

Stevepop- this one is great, just sounds like a really fun candy or bubblegum or something.

PB & J - cute! Like peanut butter and jelly sandwich is so cute.

Sharkcard - I have a vague idea of how this one came to be but I like it all the same.

Mace - Watch out! They’ll mess you up and they’re probably both biters!

If anyone has anything to add I would love to hear it!
