no, man, im saying you can hate on jally all you want but what you're not understanding is that the argument johnny is "too young" for dallas doesn't work, he's only FOUR MONTHS younger.

I miss pony

[curtis-brothers-hug]

I feel like Pony would lose sight of how rough and unsheltered his childhood was compared to the average kid, because he was a little more protected than most kids on the east side on account of his parents and brothers and older gang.

“I was the youngest of three brothers and a gang of seven, so I grew up pretty sheltered.”

Pony’s college/adult friends: “you were in a gang? How is that sheltered??”

Pony: “like I said, they were all older than me. They were all either bigger than me or they carried a blade. They walked around with me a lot, so I didn’t get jumped for the first time til I was fourteen.”

Friends: “fourteen?!”

Pony: “I know, I can’t believe I made it that long. I didn’t even fight in rumbles til I was about thirteen, and then once I started, my brothers were always there with me. Lots of kids in my neighborhood started fighting younger than that, but most of them didn’t have folks who cared what they were up to, like I did. At least until they died.

Friends: “your parents died……?”

Pony: “yeah but even then I was protected from a lot. The state was always threatening to take me and my brother away from our oldest brother and put us in a boys home, but that never happened. And I never went to the reformatory even once, not even after I was on the run for murder. In fact, once the charges were dropped after my buddies died, that was when the juvenile court ruled that I got to stay with my brothers. All and all, I’ve been really lucky. I didn’t have to grow up too fast like a lot of kids in my neighborhood.”

Friends: “………………”

The Outsiders (1983) - cut opening scene

[starcraftt]

kid soda once declared johnny as his brother.

because. because after darry made him mad or upset him over something stupid, soda ran out, ran into johnny and declared him his new brother. one that's better then darry.

so he dragged johnny home and that's how the curtis gang started yes.

"Hey Pone you wanna play with me after school" (bro just wants to play football or something 😭)

"I don't wanna play with you Johnny Cade I've been 14 for a month 😡"

[flopstat]

haven was really funny for being like “Duke has carried Lucy’s locket for 27 years after standing with her over the dead body of the Colorado kid” then did nothing to actually flesh that out
