Was watching “Tex” w/ my cousin, here’s some of their interesting commentary:

“Maybe if they sold the brother Tex could buy back his horse”

“Jamie would probably not reject him if he just info dumped about horses. Tex is clearly autistic he needs to embrace it”

“Yeah Mason the solution to not being stressed is to just take it easy bro”

“Maybe if they sold the dad they could afford to put the horse through college”

“What if instead of expelling him she’s about to give him his horse back?” (A few seconds later) “OH MY GOD I WAS BASICALLY RIGHT”

(Imitating Tex, in a terrible attempt at an Oklahoma accent) “Oh no…not motorcycles…that reminds me of my hoooorrrrsssse…”

(Imitating Pop in the scene at the hospital) “See, the thing is kid, your mom…she was a horse…”

(Me, mishearing it as “whore”) “Damn, I mean, yeah??? I guess?”

“Jesus, that exploding typewriter prank would NOT fly nowadays”

(Me, nodding all sagely and shit) “Yeah…since we don’t use typewriters anymore”

“Do you think Cowboy hat suit guy (Cole) and Cowboy hat traditional guy (Pop) are epic rivals? Do you think they have enemies to lovers fics?”

(About Lem’s baby) “I just don’t think that babies need feet. I don’t consider babies to be people who need feet. I just feel disturbed, you know?”

(Me) “no, not really. I don’t…no. …Babies have feet.”

“Yeah yeah he got shot that’s bad- but OH NO NOT HIS BOOTS! NOT HIS JACKET! NOOO HE’S GETTING BLOOD ON THEM…NOOO…”

“A good excuse to reconnect with your ex is to get shot- gives you a good reason to call them. Good job Tex”

(In the scene where Tex and Johnny are fighting) “Ooh sweet crop top and cowboy belt- I see ya jock from Breakfast Club, I see ya”

“Maybe…a cowhorse…is like the kinda horse cowboys ride?”

(Me) “Uh…yeah, it’s a horse that herds cows…what did you think it was??”

“A horse-cow-hybrid thing”

(Me, legit shocked) “wHAT?!”

(My sister) “Uh yeah I thought that too”

(Other cousin) “yeah no same”

(Me) “y’all are uncultured”

(cousin) “Naw you’re just a weird horse nerd.

Bonus, from my other cousin: “oh my god Tex is so stupid”

My sister: “Yeah, but in like a lovable way! I’d wanna hang out with him, he’s nice!”

me, more darkly than is warranted: “Yeah, plus, your face is stupid man”

thinking about how tex spiraled so badly over mason going to the hospital for “tests” that he convinced himself his brother had cancer just for mason (A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD BOY BY THE WAY) to come back and pick him up like “it’s just an ulcer.” not even darry got an ulcer. the mccormick brothers are out here doing it like no one else

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

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

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.

Texe Marrs - Dark Secrets of the New Age - Crossway - 1987 (cover design by Britt Taylor Collins)

[brat-pack-it-up-boys]

Fics I would absolutely write if I could type one word without cringing at myself

Hinton universe addition

1. Darry gets a raise and an offer for a more secure roofing job except for it’s in California, the gang has to deal with the Curtis’s moving away

2. A Tex fic, where Tex gets phenomena and Mason has to deal with his baby brother having the same thing that killed their mama

3. Dallas Winston time travel fic where he has to try to stop the events from the book from happening while dealing with the PTSD of being shot and killed

4. Steviepop are dating but only Steve and Evie are dating publicly (hooray for the 60s), ponyboy gets home from school and walks in on Evie and Soda making out and goes through a panic because he assumes Evie’s cheating on Steve with soda of all people

5. A cute mini fic taking place a few years after TWTTIN about M&M Carlson and Brenda Mathew’s (two’s sister) being friends in the 70s

There’s more but that’s all I have the energy to write

[lavampira]

i love your matt dillon-se hinton-verse au where dally is tex and mark’s half-brother but i was wondering is rusty-james also a part of this au? (since he’s also played by matt)

Good point. Honestly, I haven’t thought much about that- which is weird cos I really like Rusty-James honestly. Idk, for some reason to me, Rumble Fish feels like a whole other world compared to the one of Tex, TWTTIN, and the Outsiders. I blame the movie for that, since it’s so art house and surreal.

If Rusty-James is in this AU, then he’s the same age as Tex. If they ever meet, it’s at Buck’s place- Tex is there ‘cos that’s where Dally lives, and Rusty-James is there to try and fail at hustling pool. They’re both impulsive rule-ignore-ers with a penchant for chaos- so they get along great.

Meanwhile, Mason hates the Motorcycle Boy’s guts. He’s never met the guy, but he hears what Tex’s weird little hood friend says about how tough the Motorcycle Boy is- and Mason thinks he’s a bad influence on Rusty-James. Who, in turn, is a bad influence on Tex. This hatred is one sided, as the Motorcycle Boy isn’t aware of Mason’s existence.

Idk if anyone ever finds out that Rusty-James is another half-brother. Maybe Dally has a passing suspicion, but he doesn’t think hard about it. Rusty-James has a dad. Dally’s not gonna bother pursuing it. His dad was a whore- if Dally adopted every half sibling he has out there, he’d have enough kids around to start his own gang bigger than any of the gangs in Tulsa.

TL;DR- Rusty-James and Tex briefly are friends, for like a summer maybe. Rusty-James probably doesn’t even remember Tex by the end of Rumble Fish. Tex remembers tho, and sometimes wonders about that kid who looked and acted so much like himself that he hung around with when he was twelve…

If they ever meet again, Tex won’t see any resemblance to himself anymore, and Rusty-James won’t recognize Tex at all. Sorta a bummer, but hey, Rumble Fish is sorta a bummer too (love it tho)

Slightly unrelated random hc- At this time (like 2 years pre-Rumble Fish canon) The Motorcycle Boy is really into local author P.M. Curtis’s book “The Outsiders” and relates a lot to the character “Dean Marlboro” who totally isn’t Dallas Winston, killed off for dramatic effect. He has no idea that his kid brother is hanging around with his hero’s kid brother.

there’s people who stay and people who go, and then there’s darry curtis who never got a say in the matter
