the end of little brother gets me so bad. dally died screaming. dally died a scared kid. dally died in pain. he may have felt holy for a few seconds but that scream was anything but a sort of pure ascension. it hurt.

thinking about jason schmidt as sodapop curtis literally folding himself in half to cry onto ace's shoulder after johnny dies. its such a crushing image.

this boy so full of smiles and laughter being so distraught that he collapses into his friend and just Needs to be Held and augh

and also the moment before that. he goes to put a hand on dallys shoulder, and dally really aggressively shoves him away. but its just so sodapop to try and comfort someone else about the death of their friend before looking for comfort for himself

I’m so serious when I say that I think the song writers accidentally made Darry canonically gay in the musical. LISTEN TO ME‼️🙏

In RITFR Darry says, “Wish I could settle down with a lady, wish I could, but I can’t.” And yeah, we make jokes about him and his internalized homophobia, how he’s just saying that as a cover, but then I KEPT listening and like…

If Darry wanted to actually settle down with a lady, he would continue the line as “[…] wish I could, but I can’t, BECAUSE I gotta break my back all day.”

That’s what he means, right? He can’t settle down with a lady BECAUSE he’s taking care of Pony and Soda. “I want to do X, but I can’t because of Y.”

Except what he actually ends up saying is “[…] wish I could, but I can’t, so INSTEAD I gotta break my back all day.”

“I want to do X, but I can’t because of Y, so instead I have to do Z.” There’s a whole third variable and we have no idea what it is🧍‍♀️

“Instead” implies he can’t for other reasons besides taking care of his brothers. Other reasons like, oh I don’t know, poor man living in the south in the 60s, let’s put our thinking caps on for this one…

anything by Adrianne Lenker, specifically the lyrics “I don’t wanna be the owner of your fantasy, I just wanna be a part of your family” is so Darry Curtis coded

Darry thinking those words as he sees Sodapop and Ponyboy joke and play around, while he’s too busy cleaning or working or something.

Darry getting happy and grinning when Soda makes fun of him because he still sees him as his brother, while Pony sees him as some authority figure/strict dad

him just wanting to be seen as family again

"you can't ever win you know that doesn't matter if you win us you'll still be where you were before the bottom and we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks"

Randy sounding almost mocking at the end because he's realized this whole cycle is useless and suddenly he really doesn't believe in it and his anger can't mask that anymore, Pony just listening cause he's known this his whole life and he's watching it hit someone on the "other side" suddenly neither of them is a "soc" or a "greaser" they're just two really hurt and confused kids who are seeing each other as such

i get off my phone for two hours and suddenly steve sings hoods turned heroes and theres a new cast member??

[golden-rolling-hills]

POOOOOOKIEEEEEE

grease got a hold means everything to me. greasers are forged by their suffering, that’s what makes you a greaser by the greasers own definition. you have to be tough to survive and if you aren’t then you aren’t gonna make it kid. you have to learn to fight when they try jumping you, start carrying a blade, keep going and survive all while acting like you’re all cool. you have lessons you need to learn.

but there’s so much joy in it. it’s a right of passage. you’ve gotta make it fun and silly or else you won’t be able to stomach it. you’ve gotta make jokes about it and smile and tease each other over it and not talk too much about the dangers or else it’ll eat you alive. there’s so many things you have that they don’t even with all that you’ve lost.

i feel like that’s truly finding beauty in the fold. finding joy and happiness and beauty in such a shit situation, not just in spite of it but because of it

he’s on season three of the lore and pony has no idea until he drops a bomb midstory and suddenly darry’s whirling around with a whisk in his hand yelling “nancy got knocked up and it’s JOHN’S????”

Darry trying to eavesdrop on ponyboys schools drama while he makes dinner

Hear me out: defying gravity is giving cherry and Marcia in justice for Tulsa, at least the part where elphie realizes glindas not coming like JUST HEAR ME OUT

[walmartbrandwhatever]

Marcia who has always shown her emotions on her face. Marcia who meets two-bit at the drive-in and almost cries finally meeting someone who shares the same type of personality she has. Marcia who had sat waiting to here her phone ring as she comforted a then sleeping Cherry. Marcia who realized that he wouldn't be calling. Marcia who's live took such a downfall so quickly. Marcia who watched in horror as her boyfriend beat the shit outta a kid who didn't deserve to feel any pain. Marcia who after breaking up with Trip sees Two-bit, their eyes meeting, and just sobbing even harder as she runs off to her car. Marcia who slowly heals after everything and starts racing again. Marcia who sees Two-bit out of the corner of her eye as she racing. Marcia who laughs like crazy they second they start talking again. Marcia who falls so deeply in love with two-bit but can't act on her feelings just staring at him from across the parking lot during lunch with the most gutted look. Marcia who denys Cherry accusations of liking him despite knowing Cherry knows exactly what she's thinking. Marcia who when she finally gets together with two-bit just stares at him with the most loving face ever because she's finally happy and she's with the guy of her dreams.

Two-bit who has never shown how he truly feels to anyone. Two-bit who constantly drinks himself until he can't see the sad kid who is hurting so badly. Two-bit who dates so many girls trying to find the right one but no one seems quite right. Two-bit who meets Marcia at the drive-in and is stumbling over his words because he never expected someone to match his energy. Two-bit who tosses her number into the gutters with a gutted heart thinking it was a fake. Two-bit who goes through so much that week and losing two people he cared about so much. Two-bit losing himself, thinking about all the what ifs in the world. Two-bit who is dragged to the rodeo by Ace after months of being miserable after everything. Two-bit who watches Marcia in awe as she competes in barrel racing. Two-bit who works up the courage to talk to her. Two-Bit who after a month of talking ask her on a date. Two-bit smiling so wide after catching Marcia staring at him as she sits on her bed waiting for him to come sit down next to her.

Them laying down on the couch next to eachother just so happy to be where they are now.

I keep thinking about that AU where Ponyboy dies instead of Johnny and I just can’t stop thinking about how Soda would take Dallys place in that version of the narrative because Soda can’t take it. He couldn’t take losing his little brother and then the gang would lose both Soda and Ponyboy.

the overlapping choruses in Run, Run Brother make me ill

"if youre not born into money, then youre born into despair" morphing into "if youre not born into money, get out while you can" bc of how the choruses flow over each other just. gut punches me

it really cements how anyone from the east side feels, and especially emphasizes how theyre treated by the west side: beating on them, trying to drive them out.

and it foreshadows Justice For Tulsa, where the socs decide that every greaser is to blame. if you're not one of them, they're coming for you. if you dont want to get the life beat out of you, get out of town

but that in of itself is also such a hopeless statement because they cant get out. nobody gets out of tulsa, especially greasers. theyre trapped
