@legends-never-die1 -die1 ( This is based off when Dallas left to help Johnny, leaving Pony alone with the book- I hope ya like it!! 🩵 )

ponyboy not wanting to cry in front of darry ponyboy thinking he doesn't deserve to cry after the socs jump him because he at least he have it as bad as johnny ponyboy going to sleep thinking that as long as he has soda he'll be okay ponyboy trying to convince himself that he doesn't care about darry ponyboy trying to convince himself that darry doesn't care about him ponyboy lying to himself constantly ponyboy trying to catch up with the rest of the gang so he's not seen as a little kid anymore ponyboy being forced to grow up too fast while darry's trying his hardest to prevent that from happening only to fail

[alaskan-wallflower]

so what if darry had a breakdown that both soda and pony walked in on because he’s just so tired and stressed and he can’t keep himself going anymore especially post book because he’s so afraid that pony is gonna seriously hurt himself and that soda’s not gonna make it out of tulsa and he just has the biggest breakdown of his life wouldn’t that be silly

[outsidersheadcanons]

Ponyboy’s the kinda guy to get so stressed out w/ homework he ends up EATING the paper 💀

[jamandjazz]

Fuck I’m actually sobbing cause why does when Lilo say “I like you better as a sister than as a mom” to Nani feel so Ponyboy and Darry coded

Me genuinely tweaking when I think about the outsiders

[staygoldpbj]

bro imagine all the events of the book happen. and then pony gets taken from darry by the state and put into foster care 🧍‍♂️

it would be very sad. and also. it’d be an awesome fic to write where pony writes letters to his brothers from his different homes and we only see the story through their back and forth letters. which of course includes pony’s unreliable narrator ass

[starcraftt]

y'all are over here sobbing about little brother and stay gold, whilst im over her crying my eyes out at soda's letter.

[paul-ster]

Just some small (sad) hc’s I have of the Curtis’s because I’m bored lol

Darry definitely had to help with bills more than once when his parents were alive.

Ponyboys jealous of Soda and Darry for knowing their parents longer before they died

Ponyboy hates how he gets tongue-tied talking about his parents but not his best buddies that died

Sodapop cries at work more than he does at home.

Ponyboy hated how he thought of Steve more as a brother than Darry after their parents died.

Once Ponyboy gave Darry a Father's Day present from elementary school. (Their parents bawled their eyes out)

Sodapop once saw how much it stressed Darry to sign Ponyboy's papers for school (field trips and all that jazz) to the point that Sodapop told Ponyboy to just let him sign it instead.

Hope these weren't too sad. I'll make a happier one soon ;3

(I'm lying.)

i like to imagine that ponyboy finds and picks matching flowers for the gravestones of johnny and dallas, because he knows that johnny was the only thing dallas ever loved.

[nexternalknowsthingz]

Don’t mind me.. just some Ponyboy angst! 🤭🩵

[yourmusicmuse]

Okay so I found this picture of Pinterest and highkey. It has me CRYING. And let me tell you why!!!

Both Soda and Darry are compared to their dad in the book, and while I can't really recall at the moment if any of them were compared to their mother, I'm gonna go at the personal headcanon that Ponyboy was compared to her quite a lol in a similar way to Soda and Darry being compared to their dad. But see here- their mom is blonde. Soda in the book is blond, but I feel like it's an entirely different ballgame when Ponyboy bleaches his hair. When Darry and Soda reunite with him and after the pure joy and relief that he was alive...I just imagine a sense of unease. Seeing him with the blond hair- the comparisons to their mother hadn't completely clicked until then. It makes them feel...a lot of things. But above all, there is a harsh mixture of grief and love. For both their mother and Ponyboy.

I realized something when reading chapter 6 of The Outsiders once again…

I had to ask myself “why is Ponyboy mentioning all the gun and all of the assistance from Dallas in the book (an English assignment that a teacher will read) but not to Jerry who Pony told everything to except that specific piece of information.”

Dally was still alive then. Pony didn’t want him to get into any trouble then.

Dallas is dead now. It’s fine if he brings it up in his essay because it can’t hurt Dallas now.

I noticed this and I actually had to close my book and just think for a minute. WOW.

random ponyboy headcanons because ‼️‼️

bro is intensely emetophobic, he pretends to not be afraid if somebody throws up, but is internally PANICKING.

this boy picks and bites at his nails like a fiend. darry and soda tried lemon juice at one point because he almost chewed down to the nail bed, but that just made it WORSE, so they stuck to putting tape over his fingers.

i know for a fact that his socks hardly ever match. or they have holes in them, he does NOT care as long as he has socks on in the first place hes chill

speaking of socks, he cant sleep without them on. HATES the feel of the sheets on his skin, always sleeps with socks on NO MATTER WHAT.

this boy is a theatre kid at heart. fym bro was sneaking into movie theaters? is in theater at school and lowkey fw it‼️

whenever the curtis fam would go to the country before… the accident… pony would roll down hills and shit and get absolutely eaten by ants but would always come back acting like nothing happened so mrs. curtis wouldnt get worried, when in reality hes literally itchy and sad all over (this actually happened trust i was the ant hill)

the type of kid to gasp at parts in a book/movie hes already seen/read a MILLION times before.

darry and soda and him cut eachothers hair for eachother every now and then, only if it gets waaay too long, especially after the book events and pony had to cut the bleached hair off, darry helped him for sure while he talked to soda

comes home after a track meet and just falls asleep, still in his sweaty uniform just falls asleep and takes up the ENTIRE BED, soda is annoyed but just pushes him to the side or gives up and sleeps on the floor

didnt really react at first when his parents died, took a few minutes to register the news after the cops came by and told them, then just started SCREAMING and sobbing, clinging onto soda for dear life and just yelling over and over again in denial, didnt sleep for two or three days after. just thinking it over.
