Ponyboy would’ve killed himself had it not been for Darry, soda, and two-bit.

No I’m serious. Looking back on the book you can clearly see just how bad mentally he was doing after the death of Johnny.

He was completely delusional and kept trying to convince himself that Johnny wasn’t dead. Going so far as to tell other people, Randy, that Johnny wasn’t dead and he was actually the one who killed Bob.

Ponyboys mental health took a nose dive after Johnnys death and i genuinely believe he would have killed himself had his family and friends not been there. In the movie Two-bit and Ponyboy hang out all day while his brothers are at work. Making it impossible for him to kill/hurt himself. When two-bit isn’t around, it’s Darry and soda keeping an eye on him.

Ponyboy famously said “why couldn’t dally take it, but I could”

You couldn’t take it Ponyboy. You couldn’t, but you had no way of being able to actually do anything about it. The Curtis gang accidentally saved his life.

Ponyboy Curtis would’ve ended up dead and I stand by that.

You dig okay, baby

i like mar-bit :)

Idk they’ve got great chemistry, they’re both fun characters, hell there’s even plenty of angst potential lol. They’re the only ship I liked back when I first read the book, almost two years ago now? I dunno why it’s taken me so long to draw/write anything for them, I like them a lot

and fyi she totally gave him her real number

(I tried to imitate and/or refine the style I used in my og stevepop post? Idk I liked that style, it’s not my usual- but it’s really fun to do honestly)

MARBIT

Marbit shippers rejoice as my multishipper ass draws these two. I might be posting more stuff regarding that in the future but it’s a slim chance.

Haven’t decided yet if I want to rejoice or cry over this taking 9 hours; but that’s for future me to decide. Lowkey not too happy w/ this drawing but FUCK IT WE BALL and I don’t wanna spend anymore time on it.

What’s wrong

Oh nothing just thinking about Marcia sitting by her phone for hours wondering why she ever trusted a greaser to call her back

[littlestarbigsky]

i’m obsessed with how it’s left open ended what happens to two-bit after jft

what if marcia doubled back after everyone left, watching him curled up into a ball on the ground, shaking and crying, jumping almost clean out of his skin when he felt someone close to him. what if she brought him back to her house and tried to patch him up as best as she could but paul may have broken one of his ribs and she’s never dealt with a burn like this before… “god, i’m so sorry, i didn’t think bev would ever think of doing something like this.”

what if he managed to get himself back to the curtis house and scared the life out of darry when he came home from work. what if two-bit told darry about the rumble while he was getting all the frozen vegetables out to help with the pain, what if soda had to keep him calm and still while darry rinsed out the burn with saline… “i know, buddy, he’s almost done, and then you can sleep, i promise.”

what if he ran for his life, not caring about how he could hardly breathe, and doesn’t stop until he gets to dally’s room at buck’s. what if dally tried to offer him a cigarette to calm him down, because jesus he’s never seen two so worked up, and two-bit acted like dally was gonna knife him. what if two-bit begged and pleaded with dally for any information about ponyboy and johnny… “please, dal, you gotta tell us where they are, just tell me that they’re okay.”

god the possibilities are endless and they’re all fucking devastating.

Curly sneaks ponyboy into his room at night to just hang out without being constantly watched.

Dally has caught them multiple times and the only reason he hasn’t snitched is because Curly’s bribing him.

The only person Dally really cares about is Johnny.

Dally and Curly both have piercings, dally has an an ear piercing and eyebrow piercing, Curly has multiple ear piercings( he wears fake ear stretchers he stole from Claire’s) snakebites, an eyebrow piercing, a septum piercing all of which they gave each other while drunk the piercings were done with safety pins and needles sterilised with vodka (that somehow didn’t get infected), they also have stick and poke tattoos mainly just of stupid stuff but Curly had the bright idea to get ponyboy’s name tattooed under his collarbone ponyboy thought it was stupid but kinda romantic. Darry did not.

The shepherds are mixed (black and white).

Dally’s platinum blonde but dyes it black. No one knows except curly who caught him dying it black with the hair dye he supposedly stole for Sylvia.

Sodapop and Steve run a TikTok account.

Two bit and Marcia are dating.

Ponyboy writes fanfiction on Ao3 he’s really popular in multiple fandoms. only Johnny knows because he’s his beta reader.

Soda vapes.

Ponyboy had a twilight phase and had a massive crush on Edward.
