So Ponyboy is spring, right? The young, the green, the unpredictably moody. The sunset and the reeds and the bare feet splashing through the riverbed. Jeans and cigarette smoke. Warm later but for now, the morning is cold. The closest thing to new life this old city's seen in years.

And obviously Johnny is fall. Jackets and scuffed shoes, loose candy wrappers and deserted playgrounds. Daybreak and silent chills, hot cocoa and whispers, real quiet, but always there. Halfway to dying since the day he was born but it's not like he didn't see it coming.

Then, I think Dallas is summer. Stray sparks from rocks and metal scraps. Rattling car doors down the interstate with the sunroof open. Bass notes crawling up your spine. Hot, liquor drinking nights and shut in, playing card days. Sweat and spit out gum, broken glass on familiar sidewalks chalk used to cover. Burned bright, and gone sooner rather than later, though everyone wished it'd have stuck around just a little longer.

That fic you wrote?

The one about the ship no one else cares about, or the deeply unpopular character, or the extremely unusual AU?

The fic that got no comments or kudos when you posted it?

Months or years from now, that fic might be exactly what someone is looking for in the sea of fics about all the popular characters, ships, and AUs.

Your fic might be the only fic out there that has what someone is looking for. The only fic that scratches the itch that it turns out you and that reader share.

And that's awesome.

Hot Take(?): sandy is worse than sylvia

Ok first of all i want to say that i hate the way people talk about both of them and i know that they both get unwarranted hate but truthfully i think the way people treat sandy in comparison to sylvia is actually insane.

People often view sandy as a more sympathetic character which she definitely is but let’s be honest here she is not perfect whatsoever. canonically she did cheat on soda and father someone else’s baby but because of the fact pony boy for the majority of the story talks about her in a positive light she is seen as redeemable, which truthfully i think she is. i often see people head-cannoning it that she didn’t actually cheat and she reached out to soda after the book and they all lived happily ever after. which sure is very cute but is also definitely not the case (canonically speaking!!)

sandy is obviously a more complex character than just a ball of sunshine who actually didn’t do anything wrong and is just a girl. i think that it just makes her so one dimensional.

then in comparison sylvia. she is treated HORRIBLY by this fandom like it’s seriously strange to me. i can’t even count the number of times i’ve seen people calling her a bitch, or insulting her. it’s really jarring to see. i don’t read a lot of fanfiction if im being honest but in the ones i have seen they portray sylvia as this awful person with ZERO redeeming qualities who is just trying to fight y/n for dallas’s love even though she broke is heart and cheated on him or whatever…

it’s very frustrating that no one in this fandom can understand that obviously pony would have nicer/more things to say about sandy who is literally his brothers girlfriend meaning he’d see her around far more than sylvia who i doubt he knew very well seeing as she’s the girlfriend of his brothers friend who he doesn’t even like all that much near in the book.

i truly doubt that he would’ve known her outside of what the gang who obviously didn’t fw her so there’s no way pony boy could’ve even known her in anything besides a neutral perspective?..

i have thought for a while about why these characters who were given to us pretty much completely blank have such drastically different headcannoned personalities by this fandom and i have realized it’s due to probably 2 main factors.

1. In book descriptions

I will say in all honesty that i can sort of understand why we treat the two differently because of the breadcrumbs we are given about their personalities. our first impression of sandy is positive and our only impressions of sylvia are negative.

the only way we know sylvia is by dallas and things that pony boy has heard, the fact that she cheated on him AGAIN which dallas tells and that we learn later in her attempts to cheat she had tried to get with johnny. both of these are extremely vague and have no actual examples of what she specifically did (how she cheated and the extent of what it really was)

on the contrary we are told that sandy is a sweet girl by pony boy and it’s only implied that she lead soda on for a bit thinking the baby is his before going to florida. where soda learns that the baby wasn’t his. all of this was going on while pony boy was away and when he learned about it there was so much else going on it sorta was just a footnote in the plot. further more, the language used is very of the time. since it was the 60s they spoke more discreetly of teenage unwed motherhood. anyone who had read the book at the time of its release would have completely understood the implications but in more modern times it can be missed by current readers who are often young. which brings me to my next point…

2. the fandom

most people in the outsiders fandom are very young which makes sense seeing as it’s required reading for most middle schoolers. but i think with its younger audience it is very easy for them to be the loudest with their opinions.

overall i think that we need to be nicer to the greaser girls. they’re probably victims of circumstance because of their upbringings and even if they weren’t they’re teenage girls who are bound to make mistakes just like their male counterparts and dare i say treating them like criminals is just misogynistic especially since some of the male characters have literally killed people… 😬

ok that’s all! i’m curious to hear what others think about this!

Im two hours late but! Happy mother's day to Darrel Curtis Jr, OUR babygirl

I forget who it was on here that posted a headcannon that the Curtis brothers are carbon copies of each other, but completely oblivious to it.

But that post made me get to thinking, Sodapop is known to be a flirt, Darry has to have been pulling baddies back when he hung with the socs, but Ponyboy? The oblivious fuck wouldn't know rizz if it punched him square in the asshole. But canonically, he's also pulling (in ttwttin).

So what do y'all think of a 5+1 Ponyboy centric Purly fic, 5 times Pony was clearly flirted with, and one time he actually flirted back.

It'd be in my Say the gold never faded AU

Dally hates vegans.

He thought they were weird as fuck and stupid. Kinda like how dads hate cyclists. Like sure, there's a good reason for dislike but in this specific case he hates them just because. He actively goes out of his way to rip down any posters about being vegan, and the moment he hears word of vegan protests he's gathering people he knows and setting up his own protest where he and twenty other guys absolutely demolish 8 whole turkeys while standing right by the vegan protesters. There's a guy who's the designated 'bone guy.' He eats the bones. Like, breaks them apart and crunches them like chips. He has terrible teeth.

Dally once made normal hamburgers, then asked (forced) Pony and Sylvia to dress up all nice and hand them out to protesters and claim they were an experimental food made purely of plant products, and that they're trying to revolutionize the vegan diet. Once everything was passed out and people were eating, Pony and Sylvia hid in the car while Dally loudly shouted that it was a trick and that they ate meat and liked it. Pony was mortified and oh so guilty, but Sylvia and Dally found it hilarious. Until a group of people started chasing Dally with their signs and attempted to beat him with them. That made things less fun.

Modern outsiders au but it's just them torturing each other with their old content from 2023

Soda has fallen victim to being sent his own thirst traps from 13...

Darry's account has everyone blocked so no one can find him... He has to hide the absolutely dangerous horrible shit he did with those Socs as kid. He'd kill his brothers if they did that junk, like, why are you doing flips off of roofs into pools my man. 😭

Johnny had to be reminded daily if his old two hour gacha mini movies that were all wlw and mlm and far too good

Steve at fourteen with a buzz and acne and a headset dent and shitty posture...

Twobits bowl cut at fifteen.. and shit prank videos

Ponyboy and his "bringing back 2019" aesthetic videos, LMAOOO

Dally and his shit from 2023 AND before so they get glimpses into his pre Tulsa life 💔 it's actually sad seeing twelve year old Dallas high off his ass throwing trash cans at other homeless people 😇🌈🍭

The Socs and Greasers could've been united by 67

Currently thinking about modern AU outsiders. Performative male allegations Ponyboy. Midwest emo skater Johnny. Male manipulator affliction tee Dallas. Gymbro white monster drinker Darry. Prank youtuber Two-bit. Chronic instagram user Sodapop. Twitch streamer FPS playing Steve.

All of them were victim to 2021 tiktok cringe and they ragebait each other by reacting to messages with old videos.

Former Gacha kids Pony and Johnny.

(Cough cough, onlyfans model Darry, cough cough) OMG WHO SAID THATTTTT
