One of the hardest things for Darry being Ponyboy's guardian is when he gets in trouble at school.

Like one time the school called him in because Ponyboy got into a fight at lunch with a soc because the dude said something along the lines of "you greasers are on thin ice" and Ponyboy said "at least I can stand on ice, you fat fuck" and they started swinging.

Poor Darry had to sit in front of the principal and act like that wasn't the funniest fucking thing he's ever heard.

#the outsiders #ponyboy curtis #darry curtis #darrel curtis #sodapop curtis #the brother side of him wants to pat him on the back #the guardian side HAS to tell him that wasn't appropriate #he had to lock in while the principal told him the story #he laughed about it later in private #even though earlier he was like to pony “um im not laughing 😐”

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he says "soda. shoes."

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he says "what were you doing, walking by your lonesome?"

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he says "beer for breakfast? really?"

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he says "where's Superman?"

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he puts his all into the rumble for johnny

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he runs out of the house with three broken ribs

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", he stumbles forwards, about to fall if soda weren't to hold him back

steve randle doesn't say "i love you", but goddamn if he doesn't mean it

#steve admired darry as a kid and still does #he just hides it better #fight me #steve my beloved #tagging all my steve posts like that until it makes my posts a lot about #steve randle my beloved #forgot that one #steve randle #sodapop curtis #darry curtis #darrel curtis #ponyboy curtis #twobit mathews #johnny cade #dally winston #dallas winston #the outsiders #the outsiders book #chippedshake

We give Ponyboy a lot of crap for how he waxes poetic about Soda’s handsomeness while simultaneously throwing Darry under the bus at every opportunity. But. Have you considered how often Pony reminds us of Darry’s muscles. Have you considered. How. Often.

Ponyboy: “This is my brother Soda who is beautiful and handsome and nice and I love him more than anyone in the world and he’s just the most beautiful person EVER LOOK HOW HANDSOME”

Also Ponyboy: “This is Darry and he’s a jerk lol”

A secret, third Ponyboy: “Darry is absolutely jacked have you seen how big his muscles are I need you to understand how tight his t-shirt is right now he’s just super duper strong like he’s the actual STRONGEST I need you to understand”

#like he DOES do the adoring fanboy thing #just in a more grudgingly reluctant way #ponyboy curtis #darry curtis #the outsiders #the outsiders musical #the outsiders movie

I KNOW PONY SAID "OUR FATHER WAS AN ORIGINAL GUY" BUT REALLY?? SODA AND PONYBOY. NO ONE NAMES THEIR KIDS LIKE THAT (NO ONE SHOULD)

YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE NAMES SOUND LIKE? THE KIND OF NAMES A 3 YEAR OLD WOULD CHOSE.

NOW IMAGINE, 3 YEAR OLD DARREL, HOLDING HIS FATHER'S HAND AS THEY WALK INSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL ROOM. HIS FATHER HOLDS HIM UP SO HE CAN SEE HIS MOTHER IN THE BED. HE HAD BEEN EXPECTING THE BABY FOR SO LONG NOW. AND HE SEES HIM, HIS LITTLE BROTHER, ALL RED AND SMALL IN HIS MOTHER'S ARMS. HIS FATHER ASKS HIM: "THIS IS YOUR LITTLE BROTHER, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO NAME HIM?"

AND HE SAYS SODA. AND WHEN IT'S PONY'S BIRTH, IT'S SODA'S TURN TO CHOSE AND THAT KID IS SO HORSE OBSESSED HE COMES UP WITH PONYBOY.

pony was definitely the little shit who would start crying whenever soda or darry hit him too hard, and then darry/soda would have to be all “NO NO WAIT YOU CAN HIT ME BACK” to him.

#the outsiders #ponyboy curtis #sodapop curtis #darry curtis #half the time they didn’t even hit him he just liked tattling

Something to keep in mind is that it’s the 1960s, long before we knew where everyone was all the time. It was more that common to just not know where someone was or when they’d get back. If they even called out about it there’s no guarantee you’d be there to answer the phone.

Ponyboy being out past curfew at 2am isn’t all that concerning within itself. Yes he did break a rule/request of him but it’s something I can imagine Soda or any of the gang had done a thousand times in their own homes.

What makes it something to blow up over is the circumstances… Pony just got jumped the day before so the memory is fresh on Darry’s mind added to their parents death- he’s terrified of making the smallest mistake… he says it himself “and I can’t even call the cops cause you two’d be thrown in a boys home so fast it’d make your head spin!”

He needs pony to be home on time. For his safety. For them to stay together. Something that may have been inconsequential or gotten him a talking to when his parents were alive turns into — well… what it did.

It’s so much more than just falling asleep in the lot.

—

Darry is so much stronger than me because it my little brother had a tendency to be spacey, not think- disappear etc. (not that it’s pony’s fault he’s like that) I’d have had a nervous breakdown.

#what if something did happen to pony and he called the cops only for them to take his other brother too?#like seriously it’s such a ough #the outsiders #outsiders #outsiders meta #darry curtis #Darrel Curtis jr #ponyboy curtis

HC that sometimes when Pony’s not thinking he’ll call Darry ‘sir’ and the two of them will just stare at each other for a while cause neither of them can figure out when Darry started seeming old enough to be called ‘sir’

#for context in case anyone’s confused in the south we call our elders ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ literally all the time #and when I say elders I mean like parents teachers friends parents older adults etc #and it’s seen as like super rude not to so i think ponyboy will call darry ‘sir’ sometimes just out of habit #cause even though he still sees him as his brother he’s still like an authority figure now #and they both know that sorta but every time he does it it freaks them both out #and they just sorta stop talking and never speak of it #until ponyboy does it again #the outsiders #ponyboy curtis #the outsiders ponyboy #ponyboy #the outsiders movie #the outsiders 1983 #the outsiders book #the outsiders musical #ponyboy michael curtis #darrel curtis #darry curtis #the outsiders darry

Darry when someone wakes him up by gently tapping him on the shoulder

#the outsiders #darry curtis #darrel curtis #ponyboy curtis #sodapop curtis #two bit mathews #steve randle #dallas winston #johnny cade #even though I hate the parentification of darry #he totally does this #its because every time he's woken up it means that disaster has struck #bro is just always on edge #but fr the gang will wake him up as softly as they possibly could and he still acts like he was just shot

thinking darry’s one track mind again except happier thoughts (shocker ik) like i’m thinking abt darry (15 yrs old) having to help pony (9 yrs old) with his math hw because darry’s a math wiz and him just getting frustrated because what’s so complicated about how his times tables

darry’s one track mind not understanding how pony doesn’t get math because it’s the same thing everytime it doesn’t change

ponyboy’s a crying mess simply because he’s getting frustrated and darry’s just exhausted because it really isn’t that hard but neither one of them can go to bed until the hw is done and he’s at his wits end

darry: what’s 5x12

pony: i don’t know

darry: wtf do you mean you don’t know, fine what’s 5x11

pony: 55, that’s easy darrel

darry: okay jackass add five more then

pony, counting his fingers: 60

darry: okay! that’s 5x12, what’s 5x12 now?

pony: i just told you i don’t know!

darry, genuinely about to tweak out and start crying: mama he stupid! i can’t do it!

#this is so stupid but #i love them #rip darry #he’s just like me fr #we don’t have the patience to teach #the outsiders #outsiders musical #<- i can specifically see this with brent darry and trevor pony for some reason #darry curtis #ponyboy curtis

Dally: “I don’t like little kids man, I just don’t like ‘em”

Also Dally: walking down the street with two bits sister holding his hand, Johnny wearing his leather jacket because he left his at home, pony trying to tell him about a movie he saw the other day, Angela on his back because she was too lazy to walk, and curly trailing behind and trying to flat tire him

Whatever you do don't think about post-book darry accidentally setting out too many plates after a real long day and his mind is just utterly exhausted. Everyone looking at him all confused because they didn't have that many people left and soda having to softly remind him that Johnny and dally weren't alive. Weren't coming back. Darry just softly responding with 'oh..sorry' as he remembers that they weren't coming back.
