kwp appreciation post because i miss my pookie and desperately need to reunite with him at the stagedoor

[witchyleehibernates]

Can we hear more about ur hunger games au if you have anything pls😭🙏 I'll lay down my life for that au I love it so much🤧

(no pressure tho ofc)

!!!

I do have a Master List that has a lot of information, though one thing is currently incorrect I just can't remember where, but @too-damn-good-for-growing-old and I were talking and came up with that Cherry goes into the arena with Darry instead of Pony, and that Darry ends up really protective of Ponyboy after the capital attempts hijacking his mind; he still loves Paul though and there's a little something there too.

Breaks Sodapop's heart is does </3

Do you have any specific questions about any of the characters for me to answer? Rambling about an AU with so much already posted / created that it leaves me a little confused on what's out and what isn't, haha, is a little difficult. But I also freaking love this AU and would love to answer specific questions!!

I cannot wait until I feel comfortable with the Socs, there will be so much Soc lore. Currently all I have is that Bob's (either) grandfather or Great-Grandfather is the president, Bob is fearful of going into the arena, there was a Soc from their inner group (unnamed) that ended up dying the year before Two-Bit's games, so there's a little bit of tension between the two groups for years that finally cracks when Cherry's name is called and then Darry's.

Darry protects Cherry with his life in that games <3 it was like having a little sister to him, and if I end up comfortable enough adding Ace, they'll probably meet her sometime during the revolution / rebellion then, and then Darry will (eventually) end up with two little sisters (three / four if you count Marcia and Bev).

“suddenly it wasn’t only a personal thing to me. i could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities, boys with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets and looked at stars and ached for something better. i could see boys going down under street lights because they were mean and tough and hated the world, and it was too late to tell them that there was still good in it, and they wouldn’t believe you if you did. it was too vast a problem to be just a personal thing. there should be some help, someone should tell them before it was too late. someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would understand then and wouldn’t be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore. it was important to me.”

I like to think that if Bob had lived, Cherry would have roasted him so hard over being jealous of a 14-year-old.

[generic-enthusiast]

the outsiders isn't good guys versus bad guys it's people are people are people no matter how much you try to reduce them to a label and that applies to greasers and also to socs

Johnnyboy version

[sodapopper]

Hi hello I’m just thinking about the time Ponyboy compared Bob & Randy to Soda & Steve and recognized that if Steve died, Soda would react the same way Randy did—lose the will to fight—whereas if Steve lost Soda, he would become angrier and fight even MORE.

[greaserdreams]

the way he screams at her and then whispers “now”

[witchyleehibernates]

I had a headcanon in regards to Bob from The Outsiders, but I don't remember it which sucks, because I remember really liking it? But I don't remember what caused me to have it and I didn't write it down 😭

If I remember, definitely either editing or reblogging this with the headcanon.

[notthesodaa]

to the outsiders fandom

ohmygosh stop pretending that both sides weren’t at fault

bob didn’t need to die

stop infantilizing the greasers. stop infantilizing the socs.

neither side was right, there is no right and wrong. it is not black and white.

it is extremely morally gray, and that morally gray area is bob’s death.

All in a Soc Saturday

[curtis-brothers-hug]

The way greasers and socs both come from environments with high rates of child neglect, high rates of parents who are alcoholics and addicts, but it’s framed completely differently. Classy if you’re rich, but trashy if you’re poor, if you will.

Greaser parents are “negligent.” Soc parents can’t possibly be, because they provide their children with everything financially and materially. And if they don’t spend any time with their children, it’s in the classy, high society way: handing them off to nannies and housekeepers until they’re old enough to behave at dinner parties.

Greaser parents are “alcoholics” and “use drugs.” Soc parents are fathers with refined taste in expensive whiskey, and mothers who just need to “calm their nerves.”

Only greasers come from “broken homes.” Socs come from respectable marriages that stay pictures perfect through years of “your father is working late again.”

Greaser homes are loud and small and cramped, run down and broken and in disrepair. Soc homes are sprawling mausoleums of refined, polite silence, filled with perfectly displayed, expensive items that children aren’t allowed to touch.
