sooo what if i wrote a food insecure johnny fic who literally scavenges for day old at restaurant garbages whenever he’s not eating with two bit or pony’s families bc his family doesn’t feed him and he’s so scared to go home - not like they really buy groceries anyway. or johnny who hides what he’s eating and is ashamed to eat around people/at the mathew’s/curtises dinner tables bc when he eats their food he inhales and could binge eat like five full plates till he makes himself sick bc he doesn’t know when his next real meal will be.

#like #the johnny taking the chocolate bar from dally and HIDING IT????!??#god.#let it be known i grew up very fuckin poor #some ppl writing stuff like this is…..#but trust id eat (unlike johnny)#the outsiders #johnny cade #no bc actually eating disorders and poverty being so interlinked is not talked about enough #in this fandom and generally tbh #the shame and fear and scarcity and insecurity #and like getting out of severe poverty and still continuing poor eating habits bc it’s all you’ve ever known #it’s so interesting and there’s a lot of story potential. imo.#(as someone who’s Been through it)
