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).

[purecommemasolitude]

The way Ponyboy goes from “all the girls are pretty [in the West Side]/and all the guys are mean” in the opening number to partially dedicating his narrative to Bob ("for the hopeless boy with the reckless grin") because he's matured and now understands how Bob is also a victim of the system and was let down by the people around him....... Man.

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.

I’ve seen a few posts calling attention to the similarities between Bob and Dallas and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. Specifically I want to call attention to this:

Only one person ever told them no, but it wasn’t the no they needed.

Everyone their age is afraid to tell them no, they always get what they want. For Bob it’s because he leads, for Dally it’s because he’s a Hood- both of them have a reputation and live up to it. Bob’s parents won’t tell him no because they don’t think they have to any trouble he gets into is anyone’s fault but his (because blaming him would point out their bad parenting) and Dally isn’t around his dad enough or the man doesn’t give enough of a shit. The difference is that Bob wants his parents to parent and feel - Dally doesn’t know if he wants anything anymore.

The only people to ever say no in a way that affected them were Cherry and Johnny. They said it and came out unscathed when anyone else would’ve gotten hurt. Cherry refusing to get in the car and aid in his drunken antics (even if she later caves to social pressure) and Johnny telling Dally to lay off the girls. The difference being Dallas silently stalks off and listens…

These are the “no” they’d listen to but not one they needed. Not the law and attention they both lacked… both of their behaviors and personalities are cry for help that goes ignored by adults and friends alike— who assume it’s just their nature.

It goes to show that sometimes we all have the same types of problems regardless of socioeconomic class, it’s just what they make someone that differs. Bob is praised and held up while Dally is seen as the lowest of the low.

In the end they both died violent and young and desperate. Failed by the same systems and structures.
