this came to me in the shower but anyways
parry is âcasualâ by chappell roan and they had their first kiss in september at 15 at an afterparty for a football game they won, they also said âiâm not a..â âyeah, me neitherâ every time they kissed
stevepop is âthe giverâ by chappell roan, they first kissed two months after the events of the book, theyâre not out to anyone but theyâre both comfortable with themselves.
purly is âthe subwayâ by chappell roan, they had their first kiss in late march in 1967 (or 1969 in the musical) in the lot, curly never left tulsa and died from gang violence but ponyboy made it out on a scholarship and made it to nyc to become a famous writer and journalist who mostly published about homelessness, poverty, and gangs.
modern au purly is âmerry christmas, please donât callâ by bleacers AND âmerry christmas, i miss youâ buy alex crichton BUT i have to elaborate in a different post because its a whole thing
johnnyboy was a qpr, they HAVE kissed multiple times but it was rare, their song is âsevenâ by taylor swift, they were very close and clingy to each other as kids.
jally is âsparksâ by coldplay, dally was the âolder brotherâ to johnny, johnny was also really upset when he saw dally in the afterlife because he wanted him to live his life thinking of him (does that make sense? johnny wanted dally to live for him)
dar-bit is âyou are enoughâ by sleeping at last, they had a platonic brotherly relationship and often two-bit would reassure darry late at night when theyâre drinking together
the curtis gang is âback on youâ by djo, they all have been close since they met and can always lean back on each other for anything they have an issue with. theyâre each otherâs family
cherry & marcia is âbest friendâ by conan gray, they always talk out their issues and know everything about each other. theyâre the definition of âsoul sisterâ
cherry & bob is âafterglowâ by taylor swift, they fight ALOT but always tend to get over it. theyâd be soulmates, if it wasnât for the fact that they can never seem to see eye to eye
sylvia is âkilby girlâ by the backseat lovers, OR âshe donât like boysâ by ariya. idk they both just make me things of her
sandypop is âaugustâ by taylor swift because the last month they were together was august. they both think about how fast it went by all the time.
sandy is âyouâre on your own, kidâ by taylor swift, she made so many mistakes but at the end of the day, she was still a teenage girl suddenly on her own, wishing she could take everything back for just one night being a teenager again
evie is âdancing queenâ by ABBA, sheâs a teenage girl living her best life with friends and a boyfriend who loves her. sheâs young and sweet, only 17, literally
(this ones really random) i like to think evie either grew up rich/middle class or is middle class but has alot of greaser friends and acts like them JUST so i can say that stevie is âuptown girlâ by billy joel bc itâs so them. theyâre so silly i love them
i dont know much about the musical girls, but i do know ace is âLABOUR (the cacophony)â by Paris Paloma. like everytime sheâs mentioned tje song comes on i donât make the rules. itâs not edited btw the actresses can just do that
two-bit is âwhyâs everybody always pickinâ on meâ bu bloodhound gang. i saw nutsackxâs animation of him to that song and i havent been the same since. its so fitting
SANDY IS ALSO ânobodyâs girlâ by reckless kelly. ITS SO HER IT MAKES SM SENSE. i just NEED to spread this song itâs my favorite song like ever
ponyboy is âwe hug nowâ by sydney rose. itâs super fitting.. âyouâre just thinking itâs a small thing that happened, the world ended when it happened to meâ because his world DID end when his parents died. his world DID end when johnny and dally died. life went on and everyone moved on but thereâs still a part of him still stuck on those events. everything he does, every little decision, is haunted by SOMEBODY. his world DID end after these events. his parents, johnny, and dally, ALL haunt the narrative of his life. while everyone else just moved on.
sodapop is âmirrorballâ by taylor swift, he will reflect othersâ personality to make them the brightest version of themselves while slowly falling apart inside, silently. he is literally breaking into a million pieces to make others shine in their own way.
darry is âyouâre gonna go farâ by noah kahan, he is stuck in tulsa his whole life while watching everyone leave in their own way. heâll watch steve and soda join the military, two-bit pass from alcohol poisoning or drunk driving, johnny die from the fire, dally die from getting shot, paul ditch him after he leaved college when his parents die, ponyboy go off to college and pursue his writing dreams, all while being stuck in Tulsa. he has to support everyone and watch them all get out and go far while roofing houses and barely affording rent
johnny is âlast words of a shooting starâ by mitski, he died painfully and wishing he was anywhere else. he wanted to die clean and pretty and better and old, but he didnât get to because of one little thing. if him and ponyboy hadnât fallen asleep in the lot, or maybe if they didnât go to the drive in, he wouldâve lived. he spent his last days wishing he was anywhere else, heâd even have taken his parentsâ house (not his, it was never really his) instead of the church. he wanted to die clean and pretty, but heâd be too busy
the outsiders is âthe great warâ by taylor swift, because it really was the great war of tulsa. itâs the brutal story the other teenagers would tell their kids when theyâre teenagers. itâs the story of an unnecessary war of two sides; that never really were different. the outsiders is the great war because it took deaths to end it. the outsiders is the great war because nothing in it was fair. it wasnât fair that ponyboy almost got killed for talking to someone on the other side of the tracks, but itâs not entirely fair that bob was killed, either. the outsiders is the great war because itâs a story of the morally grey in life, the unfair, the traits of a war.
the outsiders is âi know the endâ by pheobe bridgers, because there really was a slaughterhouse in the form of a church, there really was a haunted house with a picket fence, there really were ghosts, there really was big warnings screaming âthe end is nearâ that no one saw, because no one wanted to see it. the outsiders is i know the end because people really did have to go, because in between watching the sunset and watching the moon bring midnight deaths, someone really saw the beauty in the fucked up. because someone chose to remember it. the outsiders is i know the end because for some, it really was the end. for some, they did have to find a new place to be from, to not be afraid to disappear. the outsiders is i know the end because the end is near.
