#tex book

[your-unfriendlyghost]

ugh I needa work on my WIPs...but my heart wants to work on a super self indulgent unrealistic “Steviepop semi-adopts post-book Tex McCormick” AU….

[hesmydrugstorecowboy]

I finished Tex yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about how much S E Hinton likes torturing 14 year old boys

[damthosefandoms]

do you ever think about the fact that tex killed his brother and he will never know it was his brother he killed. do you ever think about what would mason do if he knew.

[tex-aintdeadyet]

do you have any tex mccormick hcs? :>

OHHGHHH OH MY GOD YESYES

Worst fucking rizz ever. (Pretty much canon). Gen shakes in his boots if a pretty woman walks by

He tried asking Mason for advice with pickup lines a few times but genuinely was a horrible idea

Masons as bad wit women as he is (Mason might be gay but Tex is completely oblivious)

He'd 100% be one of those guys to make voices for dogs. He talks for them

For any animal in general. He thinks it's fun

If he had social media his posts would consist entirely of people and animals at weird camera angles (mostly Negrito but also he took sooo many photos of Lem's baby like that)

If he ever got another horse and Mason didn't he'd still miss Negrito (Negrito was his heart horse ong) but I think he'd miss going for rides with Mason more

Like to believe he went on to be a buckle winner at rodeos like his dad

Also btw not a head-cannon but I think about Tex and Mark being implied half siblings so often btw.. I like to wonder what their relationship could've been if the events post twttin didn't happen. <- love unfriendlyghost's au

Actually the WORST driver if he's alone or with a rowdy group.

He's kinda forced to concentrate if he's driving a girl or somebody but alone? Jesus fuck he's taking up like 4 parking spaces somehow.

He's worse if there's a lot of people in the car cuz then he can't focus well either.

Type of guy to turn his music down cuz he can't see

Backseat driver. Yes my guy, Mason knows the turn to take to get to McDonald's you do not have to tell him.

Kinda guy to be like "you could've made that yellow light 😒😒😒"

His insta story would be so crowded cuz he's sharing like any cool rock or stick he finds trail riding

Like a dog bringing you sticks but instead it's reels.

"Hey Mason did you see the reel I sent you :D" "which one you sent me 50..."

He'd also send the MOST ominous messages on accident just cuz he couldn't be bothered to write the full thing or got distracted.

Was a bit late coming home riding Negrito one day and Mason sent him a text asking him if he was alright and he just responded wit "can't come home."

Mason was so fucking panicked thinking Tex got thrown of Negrito and hurt or something. (Tex got caught up because Negrito was refusing to cross a river he'd crossed hundreds of times before)

Unpopular opinion: in the“Tex” movie, they should’ve left the part in where Tex and Mason get stoned.

Guys I’m actually Mason McCormick like words cannot explain how much I love him sm he’s so me. I’m literally Mason and my sister is Tex like we’re so them like we’re them reincarnated and no one can change my mind like bro me and him have the same name like we’re literally the same person like bro. He’s me and I am him. I connect with him on a personal level. I connect with him in a way that no one can ever connect with him. I’ve never connected with any character ever more than I do him. He’s my bbg princess and he can do no wrong

Vibing in Outsiders land with my four fellow Tex fans, it’s us and our microscopic fandom against the world

[patheticblorbloscholar]

S.E Hinton said class consciousness but I will make you cry over kids on the wrong side of the tracks. I will make you see how hard people have had it for longer than your existence. I will open you up to empathy you never knew you could have for fictional characters long after you read her books. Iconic of her.

[hesmydrugstorecowboy]

Just finished ‘that was then this is now’ S E Hinton what the fuck is up with you

🗣️✨Speak on it friend- who’s going and staying for both socs and the Curtis gang

people who stay: soda, two-bit, steve

people who go (although none of them end up doing that): darry, pony, johnny, dally

not doing the socs only bc. i have no idea. they have the money to come and go as they please, and the only ones i could say anything about are cherry, paul, and maybe marcia. all of whom i think i'm too biased bc i'd want them staying bc the people i ship them with ended up staying.

paul is a special case bc he has no reason to stay and i think he leaves for a while before moving back, except he never gets over darry curtis. actually he and darry are just whatever is implied for them in this fic (by @qprpbj) lol we love old men peril.

explanations on my thoughts below the cut bc this might get long lol

I cannot imagine a world where Sodapop Curtis willingly leaves Tulsa for good. I am a sucker for roadtrip AUs—seen a couple ones that have incredible vibes. a few posts like this one here (by @horsegirlsodapop) and fics like here (by @your-unfriendlyghost who is lowkey one of my favorite creators in this fandom lol) in particular. Like okay, Vietnam is one thing—I don't always love him going to war and I don't know I'd say it's in my canon that he goes to war (mostly bc the way @haljordangreenjedi and i made up our vietnam soda au is extremely convoluted and specific to us and the fic i posted about it here is all you guys get to see of it. iykyk). But Soda was born in Tulsa. He lives and breathes Tulsa. He will grow up, get married, have kids, grow old, and die in Tulsa. And he'll be happy about it.

Two-Bit just simply does not have the vibes of wanting to leave. He's lazy, he mooches off his friends—but he is unwaveringly loyal to them, as well as his mother and sister, I think. He seems like the type to be extremely close to his family and honestly I think that for him, it all boils down to doing the one thing his dad didn't: sticking around, forever.

Steve is weird bc Steve is the only one of the gang—excluding Darry & Pony—who I can see going to college in any way, shape, or form. I like to headcanon that Evie's dad owns the DX and the guy really likes Steve, so he pays for the kid to go to college enough to get a business degree to take over when he retires. I don't know where Steve would go; if he gets a scholarship somehow, if he leaves town (I don't think he would go out of state tho), if he goes to community college—but I think he values education enough to do it. But he and Soda end up running the DX for the rest of their lives. Steve might go for a bit but I don't think he stays away very long.

When Darry was younger, all he wanted was to go; he lost his chance. And now I think because of the way his circumstances changed, he'll always yearn for the knowledge of what could've been, but deep in his heart, he's knows he's home. His brothers are here and they always will be. I don't think he ever moves out of their house. It becomes a generational home and the extended family comes and goes as they please. All the holidays are celebrated there, all the birthdays, it's home. Darry ca't get away from it. But he always wonders, and I think once Pony publishes his book, he pays for Darry to go to college, but by that point Darry just goes locally. He and Pony will travel the world at some point, more than Soda ever could've dreamed of—they did take Soda surfing in California though, and took him to get pizza in New York, which were the top two things on his bucket list. Darry loves it, but as he gets older, he realizes he can't ever leave Tulsa, and Tulsa can't leave him.

Ponyboy has to leave. He has to. He wants to, he dreams of it, it's all he is. I think he goes to college and publishes his book—and a few others—and he travels the world. I personally think he was a journalism major and used his book money to go on all kinds of study abroad trips; I think he even went to Vietnam as a member of the press (but that's a whole other thing). He told his story and he wants to tell other peoples', too. He wants to know EVERYTHING he can, see the world from very angle—and he wants to live his life as if every day is a new beginning. He's staying gold. I think he lives—or is based out of—New York for a while, but honestly, he's in Tulsa more often than not and as he gets older he ends up settling down there (whether that's with a family of his own or a significant other is up to interpretation—I can't settle on how I think Pony's future goes in terms of relationships and/or family. I know I don't think he ends up with Cathy Carlson though LMAO this boy is GAY), maybe even back in the old house with Darry. I think they're a lot closer in their old age.

Johnny and Dally... they're dead. But they're both hard to decide for in a timeline where they live. Realistically, Johnny would probably not have an easy time leaving if he lived due to how the world treats people with disabilities. Now, if Bob never died, it's really up in the air. He and Pony might've run away. Sometimes I wonder if Johnny would've up and left with Dally at some point—Dally is not the type to stick around anywhere, unless he has a very good reason to, and Johnny kind of seems to be that reason. I think Johnny's problem is he wants to go but would stay, for the same reasons he won't run away from his parents. They're both a hard call.

Pirate Darry thing I drew for an art trade :DD

[nerds-yearbook]

The Blob, along with Svenzaldo Zambooba, Tex, and Stetcho, were introduced in X-Men 3, cover date January 1964. They were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In the early days of the X-Men, they went to recrute a new mutant to the team, but to their shock, he didn't want to join. This was before Professor Xavier had any qualms erasing people's memories, so Professor X erased both the Blob's and the Circus he attacked the school with memories.
