[whizzvins]

john collins you have awoken me to artist sodapop and i thank you for this. soda who is so bad with written words but can always draw and get out his emotions and love in that way!!!! so important to me!!!

[whizzvins]

someone pls hear me out on musically talented soda - he can play guitar really well and occasionally plays the piano the curtis’ have in their house

[whizzvins]

just wrote a timeline for the events of david and max meeting in music au and some of their backstories!! thank you @whizzvins for encouraging this!

not sure if i'll write a drabble of it and put it in the stories collection or if i'll just talk about here... or both! the backstory will definitely be touched on in chapters coming up, but i don't know if i should give the entirety of the background before touching on it

either way it will make sense with how exactly it's being touched upon, but im not sure how much backstory of my ocs people are interested in 😭

side note: yes, there WILL be an update soon! aiming to post before the new year but i've been reviewing my outline for the story and am considering moving the order of certain chapters to make the story flow better, but this is difficult since the next chapter that was planned connects with the one after it and ahhh very confusing but i do have my reasons for reconsidering the order

To me at least the Shepard siblings are like the worst version of The Curtis brothers. Tim is like Darry but he had to grow up to be colder and tougher to support his family but had to do things illegally to make things work. Angela is like Soda but wasn’t raised with that kindness that Soda had. She’s beautiful and attracts boys like honey to flies but does it as a means to an end. Curly is like Ponyboy but he had to grow up to be tougher and meaner due to his family name. He’s proud of it too, he doesn’t see himself as anything other than a Greaser.

Ponyboy’s the king of dilly dallying change my mind

Darry the type of guy to shit on the show or movie Ponyboy is watching, but then stand in front of the TV like this.

[whizzvins]

He’s so proud

One of the hardest things for Darry being Ponyboy's guardian is when he gets in trouble at school.

Like one time the school called him in because Ponyboy got into a fight at lunch with a soc because the dude said something along the lines of "you greasers are on thin ice" and Ponyboy said "at least I can stand on ice, you fat fuck" and they started swinging.

Poor Darry had to sit in front of the principal and act like that wasn't the funniest fucking thing he's ever heard.

[whizzvins]

People will call Soda pretty boy as an insult but it backfires because every single time he gets super giddy like “no kiddin?? for real?!! 🥹”

[whizzvins]

I think the curtis household would have a behavior chart and I will not elaborate

[whizzvins]

without darry, the curtis family would be dysfunctional and stressed and unable to stay together

without soda, the curtis family would be an emotional wreck of arguments and secrets and miscommunication

without pony, the curtis family would be bitter and depressed, constantly down without hope

just thinking about how they really can’t be anything without all of them

Watching the Macy’s parade performance honestly made me a little emotional. This cast is so young, and for many of them, the Outsiders is their broadway debut. It never would have worked otherwise; this story needs to be told by outsiders, newcomers, fresh faces with nothing but dream and passion, hard work and a name to make.

And they did it.

All the big things, they’ve done. Cast album. Nominations. The buzz. The fans. They earned the Tony—can you imagine, being in your 20s, debuting on broadway with so much to prove, and your first show wins best musical? And now, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, taking their place beside hundreds of other acts that children have watched and been inspired by, faces glued to the screen, thinking one day that’s gonna be me.

They were once those children, awed and dreaming. Now they create the dreams for others.

The video of the cast album listening party will always stick with me. Brody and Sky on the floor, holding each other’s hand. The huddle of friends around them. Emotions thick. I feel like a privileged intruder, watching these young actors overcome by the climax of their aspirations. No matter what happens when their contracts end, no matter who moves on to new goals and different projects, this show will always be theirs. This album will exist for the rest of time as their album. The original cast of the Outsiders on Broadway. These beautiful young people with so much to prove.

The musical is not a perfect book adaptation, and I’ll always have my personal differences with how they chose to tell the story. But you can’t deny that these actors deserve every moment of glory and acclaim they’ve gotten. They poured their souls into this story and these characters, and here they are. This is their moment.

They made it.
