pony never being able to forgive himself after the musical. pony who blames himself so bad for johnnys death. even as he heals a bit and continues on. he can’t think about it for too long or else his chest gets all right and he can’t breathe. the little voice in his head will always be whispering that he shouldn’t have thrown that cigarette, he killed johnny

i think about the line “for the hopeless boy with the reckless grin” so much. pony came to terms with bob and forgave him and it’s so powerful to me. he made the choice to forgive him and i think at the end of the day something deep inside of pony understood bob, he hated him but he knew that bob really was a hopeless kid. the use of the term boy, the inherent youthfulness of that, cause he was just a stupid boy who was never taught how to actually manage his emotions. tulsa 67’ reprise you’ll always be famous

An important PSA

[youllneverseeonascreen]

Whatever you do don't think about post-book darry accidentally setting out too many plates after a real long day and his mind is just utterly exhausted. Everyone looking at him all confused because they didn't have that many people left and soda having to softly remind him that Johnny and dally weren't alive. Weren't coming back. Darry just softly responding with 'oh..sorry' as he remembers that they weren't coming back.

ace yelling "did you see me dally?!?? did you see me??" after the rumble makes me SICK. oh my godddd. she's so excited and she wants to make him proud and then he Dies. god.

Can we get head canons of the Shepard/ Curtis gang thanksgiving that Ponyboy and Curly would inevitably and accidentally make happen

cant b thankful for SHIT w these two, we need them away from everyone else

•i wanna talk about pony and curly as adults who moved in together so thats the papercut we get this post god damn it,,,they wanna celebrate w their family

•is this where i come out and say i dont think the shepard gang is AS familial as the curtis gang??? like they have their moments and some of the shepard gang is closer to the actual shepards than others, bit not ALL of the shepard gang is seen as a family, just like 3ish and when it comes to curlys own gang, into his adulthood hes only rlly cool w one of them so hes in there too

•ANYWAYS, usually they pick a family to visit, butthe plan WAS that curlys part of the family would come over, but then most of em called in to cancel, so pony just invited his gang over

•howeverrrrr curlys family schedule changed so they COULD visit, but curly literally just forgot to tell pony, even HE somehow forgot they were coming over, and when they showed up at the front door when the curtis gang was already inside u can bet how confused they were

•especially the curtis gang (yes including pony), cause they can handle the shepards being there, thats fine, not expected, but fine!!! however whoooo r these random ppl w em and do they know them??? did they sneak in here for food🤔🤔🤔

•a big reason y everyone is even there IS for food so THANKFULLY both gangs brought some food and for a while everything was alright, but half of the mfs here have a blackhole as a stomach so the food could rlly only go so far

•bc of curlys fuck up hes the one who has to keep going outside to get the food n stuff, minus a turkey tho bc pony and curly tried doing that thing where u deep fry a turkey but they nearly blew the whole block up so thats just out of the equation, yknow what was the main dish??? mac n cheese of course and tim was the one who made it, thank god cause pony was gonna whip out the velveeta 😩😩

•if theres one things white americans can cook, its pies, and pony was in charge of em, so u know that things gonna b sweet as hell AND he had to hit curlys, two, and sodas hand away from stealing a taste before it was done

•just realized this also means everyone would have to see the dirty joke variation of the “kiss the cook” apron curly bought, just ruining everyone appetite,,,i hate them both,,,

•no matter what age, curly and pony will always go on that walk where u knowwww these mfs r just out to get high, and half the gang r totally smokers, so when it happened more than half the people attending just randomly left

•the fight over left overs was insane, that one vid w that guy going “THATS MY PLATE” its like that

“paul was darrys best receiver” “paul was darrys tight end” i said oh im sure

2/3 Curtis brothers have long-standing beef with Steve, and I think it’s time to ask ourselves the real question: do they actually hate Steve, or are they secretly jealous he gets to be Sodapop’s best friend and they don’t?

The Outsiders on Thanksgiving

(Inspired by @dallasgallant )

The Matthews Family always does Thanksgiving Lunch and the Curtis Family does Thanksgiving Dinner

The entire gang uses this as an excuse for eating two Thanksgiving meals

Sodapop always wants to decorate for Christmas after Halloween, but Pony and Darry wait until after dinner to put up decorations

Dallas loves mashed potatoes

The gang bets on the Football games

Mrs Curtis taught the Curtis brothers how to make all of her classic dishes, so each year they are able to recreate her classic Thanksgiving meal

Dallas secretly loves the parade, because he used to watch it with his mother

Mr. Curtis was very serious about being thankful

He’s the type to go around the table and force everyone to share what they are thankful for

It’s now Darry’s favorite holiday because it reminds him of his father

At the Matthews house, they host Two-Bit’s entire extended family and everyone is welcome if they bring their own dish

He sits at the kids table and cracks jokes

Johnny was the first one of the gang to come over to the Curtis house for dinner

Steve and Soda have a contest to see which one eats the most food

It’s 50/50 on who wins

The Curtis brothers end the night with looking through their family albums

darry taking extra shifts after thanksgiving to be able to afford christmas presents for his brothers and the gang vs soda taking extra shifts after thanksgiving to justify putting up christmas lights to bring some holiday cheer to their neighborhood even though it would blow their electric bill through the roof

Johnny grunts when someone thanks him or compliments him. It’s not quite a groan but not quite a word either just this noise of acknowledgement, he’s not really sure how to respond or what to say so he just makes a little noise that may sound like ‘yeah’ if you try hard enough to hear it and bows his head a little. Sometimes if his head isn’t bowed so low there’s a little smile you can notice.

can't believe it took me so long to actually look up st christopher and find out he was the patron saint of travelers. god i love accessories that allude to the historical figure the wearer embodies

[youllneverseeonascreen]

I discovered The Outsiders, and I'll never be normal again.

[youllneverseeonascreen]

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.

[youllneverseeonascreen]

modern johnny and pony get bored in the summer and johnny cute and bleaches ponys hair just for darry to come home and see it and just puts his head in his hands

[youllneverseeonascreen]

sighs. thinking about pony coming out to darry and soda

[youllneverseeonascreen]
