when times are tough I think to myself "at least I am not a teenager anymore" and that usually lifts my spirits
hello nerds. i started writing this 1000 years ago and never finished it until now because i didn't think anyone still watched this movie 😭
im not sure how many of you guys have read the script of crossroads but most of this is based on a very small detail from it that i was honestly very shocked by. ive seen this movie like a million times and never knew about this until recently, its explained in the notes on here and you can find the original script online to see what im talking about!! anyway if you read this enjoy, i have very little writing experience and just having fun w it

tagging yall that put the crossroads bug back in my head thank you for giving me the motivation to actually finish this @goldenmacchio
@idontwannabethat <- they write a cool one of these two as well go check it outtt
I'll see ya later kid (Eugene Martone x Jack Butler
(3rd person POV this time, Jack's kinda mean to Eugene, blah blah blah)
Martone was bored of waiting for Brown everytime he found a girl who would agree to get in the sack with him. It happened alot with middle aged women who were still probably two-thirds his age or younger. Eugene wasn't very interested in anything that didn't revolve around music, or adventure, which were both related to what they were supposed to do.
He found himself wandering around in a train station, not a very busy one, but most people were on the go, so it made for an allright distraction. After about 6 or so trains left the station, someone sat down next to him. He turned his head to see a slender man, with boots that made him tower over the boy.
"Hey," Eugene was slightly scared to be talking to the young man, but he looked like he needed to talk to someone.
"Hi, what's your name kid?" Funnily enough, the taller man didn't look to be over about 21 years of age.
"I'm Eugene, Eugene Martone. What's yours?"
"Jack Butler. Are you from Pennsylvania or somthin'?" He sounded like he came from up north, like a Yankee. Maybe New Jersey.
"No sir. I'm from Long Island," Jack grinned as another train ran up.
"Ya don't say. Me too," He was dressed very oddly for someone who happened to be as far away from home as Eugene was, so Marone decided to ask
"You live close to here or somethin'?" he put on his best sincere voice, hoping that he wouldn't annoy Jack.
"No, I'm goin' to find a legend. There's a lady who told me you're here with a guy for the same thing I'm chasin," Well how vague. Eugene knew what him and Willie were there for, but he didn't know if Jack was there for the same thing. Butler looked for confirmation, but he didn't seem to receive any, so he went on
"I'm going down to the Mississippi crossroads to make a deal with Scratch. I'm a guitar player and I wanna be the best alive y'know? So the train coming up next is the one I'm gettin' on to get there," Eugene nodded, and wondered what else there might be to say. Warn him, tell him to turn back now, surely a man that seems so confident in his decision wouldn't listen. Maybe though.
"Well y'know, I'm a guitar player myself. I'm going down there with Willie Brown and we're gonna get him free of his contract," Jack laughed him off as if that was a knee slapper.
"I've heard ya can't do that. But good luck, I'll see ya later kid," The train had pulled up, and he was lost to the sound of the horn. Eugene kept sitting there waiting, hoping that if Willie was back in time, they could rescue Jack from making that same mistake.
To my mutuals I wanna get to know ya!
So tell me one random fact about yourself?
Doesn’t have to be anything big just a random little fact or story
Here’s mine: I have met county singer Lee Ann Womack before when I was a little kid
she was performing at a charity concert for the rehabilitation center for kids with special needs and cerebral palsy that I went to for most my childhood and me and my sister got to sit on the stage as she sang her hit song“I hope you dance”
I remember she was really nice and signed a photo for us but here’s the embarrassing part..
You know how celebrities have craft services backstage? Like food they like and all that?
My dad ate most of the food that they had set up for her and her band while she was performing on stage..like a whole tray of thumbprint cookies before my mom told him to stop it
It’s still talked about in my family every time we hear her music
But yeah that’s my random fun fact about myself
Feel free to add yours
Tagging @nonscathingbullets and @dallysbailey @yoshifan456 and @allforreading-fandomthings and @thehippievalkilmerlady65
That's so cool! Im really happy you both got to have that experience!
And that's pretty funny. 🤣
Hopefully she wasn't mad lol
Here's my kinda silly thing:
So my great aunt was really interested in genealogy when she was still alive and she had books upon books of research (sadly it was all tossed by my cousins- long story. They suck.)
Anyway, apparently she had traced back far enough to discover that we are related to Stevie Nick's through marriage.
Now, it's so far back that she obviously doesn't even know I exist which sucks, but it's a fun little fact to bring up sometimes.
Also, it's a running joke in my family so anytime im with someone and a Fleetwood Mac song comes in they akways go "Hey! It's your cousin!" And they just poke lightheartedly at me over it.
My great aunt was by no means a professional or anything. It was just s fun hobby for her and unfortunately I have no way to validate the information, but still. It's fun to say 😆

WHAT I have literally never been tagged in any ask games since I have been on tumblr! Which has been since 2015, when I actually shouldn't have had an account 💀🙏 BUT anyway, thank you SOO much @nonscathingbullets (and I loved the random fact)!
A *possibly* interesting tale to share would be that I have seen Ralph Macchio in person! BUT, but, I actually did not know who he was at the time. Zero clue. And this was before Cobra Kai, so he was pretty undisturbed. My sister actually knew who he was and actively hated him for some reason... which I still can't explain, and she was pressuring me to not approach him, murmuring all sorts of things under her breath to dissuade me. I did look at him, smiled, waved, and moved on, not even knowing I would become obsessed with him. Just a few months after that happened, I read The Outsiders for the first time and became OBSESSED, but the Ralph obsession still wasn't a thing for me— I was into Matt Dillon instead— though I mourned the fact that "the guy who played the Karate Kid," as my mom described when Ralph was in front of us, was in a film that had become my favorite (at the time... until Rumble Fish).
I only refrain from tagging anyone because my mutual pool is so small that I wouldn't want to leave anyone out... BUT please feel free to reblog, I don't want to break the chain 🥀
the stress is so bad but being on here a little has been fun... usually I post and then dip but actually looking around tumblr like I did as a teenager is just more of the same that it used to be, for better or for worse. And I am additionally reminded that McLennon truthers make up half of this site
AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2018!

the 81yr old man at my job only appears once a week, swipes all day through dating apps, has a weird email name, and stares at the girls through the window, let's get this hoe outta here i am so serious!
edit: IMMEDIATELY after i posted this i got kicked off the wifi,,, ARE THEY WATCHING ME BE CRAZY ONLINE??? lmao
Thank you ☀️
of course 💝
Macchio writers are playing it too safe by not creating Jack Butler x Eugene Martone fanfics. I actually don't read fics but I feel like someone would TELL ME if these existed. Two Italians sweaty as hell and playing guitar, one being a figurative demon standing at 6'1" wearing red and black, lanky and towering in his weathered leather boots, the other a large-eyed wannabe bluesman with tanned skin and a cream-colored guitar, a look of bewilderment and worry upon his face as Jack shreds the place... please tell me if you see what I am seeing...
does anyone else love to think "I am (insert age) years old now, the same age Ralph was in (insert project) 😄" or really just any actor/musician in general? Because ME!
small Cuba and His Teddy Bear update— here's what I got from my latest email back from NYPL Theatre division:
The tapes are digitized, and there are 4 of them.
You need to book a special appointment to view the digitized tapes and you need to have a special collections access account along with a regular NYPL library card to view the recordings within the literal NYPL location itself. All the tapes are restricted use.
"Available to view in Lucille Lortel TOFT Screening Room as a digital file. Access (note): Restricted to qualified researchers."
I will be thinking of drafting a few more questions to ask as to make the possibility of these being more available a reality. But, as it stands, I would need to be in New York along with having the regular library card and the special collections account and have a time picked out to watch it. So, an impossibility at the moment. But, technically possible?

Ralph Macchio: Meet The New Kid in Town!

coming home from work and not being able to lay in silence is a special hell
some thoughts
literally does a decent rip of Naked in New York exist (maybe it doesn't deserve it) (but I want high quality Ralph)
how many carefully worded emails will convince NYPL to just give us the footage
I only watched TKKIII once and never again
The Outsiders is one of my favorite books/movies ever. But I don't immediately associate Ralph to it in my mind? I think that is because when I discovered TO, I was into Matt Dillon instead. And I had already seen Ralph Macchio in person without understanding the significance of who he was at the time (the story is much longer and I keep alluding to having been right in front of him and I promise I will tell it one day)
another day, another email sent to the NYPL/NYPL Theatre division staff who most certainly are annoyed with me
