Actually, I wouldn’t call them a found family. And considering 3/7 are literal family too, but I think in the very traditional sense they sort of are but the word’s been used so much it’s lost in meaning.

The perfect term is used by Ponyboy himself in the very first chapter, they’re a gang. Not a traditional one, even by Tulsa standards, it’s always been a group of good buddies more than anything organized. They’re a tight knit friend group that grew up together and depends on each other and I don’t think we should take away from that or try to re-name it.

I think the coining of ‘found family’ has inadvertently taken away from the power of friendship— it sounds cheesy but there are deep, lifelong bonds from simply a childhood friend/friend group. Added to the fact that ‘found family’ is so often misused and misinterpreted to add actual family dynamics or anti dating sentiment when that is not what it is about.

Besides being a gang another way Pony expresses the gang is ‘like brothers’. This is a term to refer to male friendships that are incredibly close and typically life long, the kind of relationship that can weather and fare far more than a typical friendship. (Like how siblings ‘have’ to forgive or work things out). Like found family people have been misinterpreting this to be much more literal and again weirdly anti dating— instead of its actual use to express closeness.

The thing about the gang is how close they are, how they aren’t even the primary people they’ll hang out with. The boys have lives of their own and more friends and family beyond each other but are always there and pick up where they left off. It’s not spoken but understood, you stick together… not to mention the views of loyalty half the gang hold. Ough

I wish there were more readily available content warnings on movies and shows because I almost threw up watching texas chainsaw massacre (the 70s one) because nobody warned me about the necrophilia????

And when I looked it up afterwards I couldn't find anywhere on the internet that talked about it, like not even on doesthedogdie

God I miss the days when you could show up to a stranger’s farm and he’d say “What’s your name, boy?” and you’d take off your hat and hold it to your chest to better let him see your face and reply “Why I ain’t got none, sir, on account of my mammy passed on before she could give me one” and he’d tell you he’s real damn sorry to hear that and ask what he can do you for and you’d tell him that you can’t read nor even write neither but you’re mighty good with horses and can mend them fallen fence posts what you saw on your way in and won’t ask for nothing much more than a hot meal and a warm barn to sleep in and he’d keep his wife and daughters inside but send his boy who ain’t got married yet even though his mama tells him he needs a woman out with a lantern and some stew at night and the two of you’d get to talkin and he’d throw you his flask to take a swig from and watch you drinkin from it while he leant against the door frame and when he finally got called back on up to the house again he’d take a sip from it too real slow-like like it weren’t the whiskey what he were tryna savour
