yall know human trafficking isnt just sex trafficking right? right????
The MAJORITY of human trafficking is for labor; factory work, garment/textile work, agricultural work, construction, and domestic work/cleaning.
And that's without counting -legal- human trafficking: Prison labor.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

I love the idea that ponyboy practically survives off physical affection, but he will not ask for it no matter what. So he finds secret ways to get affection without asking.
Like with two-bit he'll play fight him.
With Johnny, he'll read him a book or just talk to him while their shoulders are touching.
For soda, he sleeps by him, plus soda will just randomly give him hugs.
For darry, he'll pretend to fall asleep in the car or while doing homework so darry will carry him to bed.
With Steve, he'll brush against him sometime.
With dally, he'll let their fingers brush when he hands him a cigarette.
And it's not romantic either. He just loves physical touch and would rather die that ask for it.
marbit this, martrip that. don’t forget where you came from: marcia and randy (however i am a sucker for marbit SO)
i’m thinking about marcia and randy being that couple that’s been together since elementary. sometime in like second grade during their class valentine’s day party marcia says if he gives her candy first they can be bf gf and randy like okay why not. and they just haven’t broken up since.
they’re never rly had a crush on anyone else so they’re dating never rly prohibited anything. but then marcia starts crushing on two-bit so they break up so she can pursue him. except they’re both absolutely miserable without their other half and they’ve only been broken up for three days before they get back together.
[blah blah blah middle part exposition]
two-bit and marcia are finally dating and randy just watches in amusement as marcia talks about two-bit. originally randy isn’t jealous, he loves watching marcia’s eyes light up when she talks about what funny thing two-bit did that day and he loves watching her blush as she panics planning what she’s gonna wear the next time she sees him, but then in the back of his mind he starts to wonder if marcia ever talks this much about him (she does) and he gets a little bit jealous but over the months of marcia dating the both of them and two and randy starting to be friends (bc marcia said she refused to be caught in the middle if they couldn’t at least tolerate each other (this was never rly a concern but marcia is a pro at panicking))
anyways randy lwky starts liking two-bit too. idk what sparks it for him, but he falls hard. but he’s also scared bc him and marcia’s relationship is already unconventional at best he doesn’t want to screw it up by being like “hey marc guess what, i think i like you’re boyfriend. insane i know right?” so he keeps it to himself. except he soon realizes that they are always with two-bit and if they aren’t they’re always talking about him. and it hurts tbh. it hurts to watch marcia adore two-bit so whole heartedly and try his best not to do the same, it hurts to try not to wonder if marcia two-bit ever talk about him when she’s spends the night at two’s house
so he pulls away. hanging out with them daily changes to him only seeing marcia at school, hanging out with two-bit downtown changes to him to simply not going downtown (the last time he spoke to two was to actually ask if he could start getting marcia from ballet), whenever marcia starts talking about whatever sweet thing two-bit did, randy is swift to change the topic because it physically hurts his chest to think about two-bit for too long
[blah blah blah angst then confrontation then two-bit drunk off his ass calling randy in the middle night on the verge of tears two wks later asking what he did wrong for randy to stop liking him]
maranbit i miss you
two-bit: how would you know? i wasn’t even at your school! they wouldn’t let me into will rogers in a million years!! right bales?
bales: *rubs his arm significantly melanated arm*
god i miss bales
au that i came up with with the help of my bestie @cherrycolacowboy
okay so paul and darry are dating when the curtis parents die and darry has to break up with paul because he can’t deal with the grief and the custody battles AND a relationship. paul is devastated but he understands and try’s to support darry from afar without making things worse for either of them.
then the state tells darry that he was denied full custody of pony and soda by the state, due to the financial status of the family. they grant him temporary custody while they attempt to find a foster family for the boys, as they don’t have any boys homes in the area that have room.
paul finds out about this, whether through tulsa gossip trains or from darry himself, and becomes a foster parent (unrealistic but we’ll just say his dad has connections in the state that he used and threw some money towards them to get himself accepted as pony and soda’s new guardian)
it’s definitely a bit awkward at first. they aren’t allowed to continue living with darry so they have to move into paul’s house on the west side (paul has his own house in this au btw). and technically it makes paul their legal guardian and foster dad, but they all refuse to acknowledge that cause it’s awkward and paul is just more of a brother (/brother-in-law) figure to them.
paul gave darry a spare key to his house (and obviously pony and soda also got keys) so that he’s able to come and see them anytime since they can’t still live with him. paul also tells them they’re allowed to have the gang over if they want but it takes a while for the gang to actually want to go over there.
when darry first had to tell the rest of the gang like “yeah, i lost custody but my old buddy paul is helping me out and took them in for me” dally is immediately on edge. a soc? taking in greaser kids? just out of kindness? yeah no, he immediately goes to paul’s house and is banging on the door, yelling at paul for ‘kidnapping his brothers’ (there might also be a punch thrown) (but then he notices the fact that paul was willing to take the punch for soda and pony and how the two boys looked concerned for paul when dally barged in and punched him so he begrudgingly agrees to calm down)
also because its us, chetsoda is canon and also chet and paul brotherism is real so chet is so upset cause he's uhhhh what do you mean my pseudo brother adopted my crush????
i’m way less creative than i thought but for marcia randy and two-bit i’m thinking of calling them maranbit for now but that sucks so bad im gonna think of a silly goofy name for them
maranbit and marantrip has grown on me (now i need a name for all four 😈)
i miss them
maranbit is long term and martrip are off again on again (two-bit loathes trip and randy adores the four months of the year he has his best accomplice back)

no working title yet but bear with me. basically the summary for this fic is early morning chat between darry and darrel (tears are shed so 60s toxic masculinity is nawt invited)
“Well, let’s go back, yeah? What’s got you thinkin’ I ain’t proud of you?”
Darry shrugs, once again looking away from his dad.
“Think I heard you say something about hanging out with Paul?” Darry was hoping his dad forgot he said that. “Am I recallin’ properly?”
“Yes, sir.” He can still feel a couple tears sliding down his face, and he’s having trouble breathing right, so he’s not exactly surprised that his voice sounds just as wet. “The rest of my —“ If he says it out loud, then they’ll really be right. Glory, this is hard. “The rest of them too.”
His dad nods like he understands, but he couldn’t possibly. His dad couldn’t understand because Darry hardly understands himself. He doesn’t understand why it’s such a big deal that his friends are in a different tax bracket or why it’s such a big deal that he wants to leave Tulsa. That he doesn’t plan on staying in this dead end town that’s never done anything kind for people like him or his friends.
Darry doesn’t understand, but he does know Two-Bit refuses to be in the same room as him for long and Dallas doesn’t even bother hiding the sneer on his face every time Darry has on his letterman.
i forgot about this omg should i finish it
gonna throw my two cents in and say i also don’t think darry has children when he’s older instead i think he keeps the open door policy and goes as far as to get his foster license
the concept of darry’s first real foster placement being tex mccormick
"wholesome" and "pure" are not antonyms of "sexual" btw
i love you semicolon. no one look at my 80 word sentence
trans darry enters my thoughts often
so u mean canon darry 🤣🤣🤣👀
proof for @cherrycolacowboy and @aforeffective that i’m still working on the a helping hand fic
He’s headed to Darry house. Because Darry asked to talk and he hasn't heard from Darry since 11pm the night before.
Paul’s chest constricts at the memory and he presses a little too hard on the gas when the light turns. He had never heard Darry sound so… heartbroken and he never wants to again. When he answered the phone at the crack ass of dawn, Darry sounded like he was about to fall off a cliff.
Despite taking several deep breaths that Paul could hear clear as day over the receiver, Darry’s breathing still sounded shallow, almost as if there wasn’t enough oxygen in the room no matter how many windows he had open. It took a long while for Paul to calm him down enough to find out what was wrong.
"Darrel, what's the matter? Do I need to come over?"
"Yes. No! No, don't. The kids only just went to sleep, I don't wanna wake them up."
Paul scoffed out a laugh. "They'll be strong. Look, Darry, you're scaring me alright? I'm grabbing my keys and I'll be there in ten–"
That seemed to give Darry enough oxygen to finally breathe. "Paul Holden I mean it don't you dare."
"Dar-"
"I mean it, alright?" Paul didn't reply and for a moment that felt far too long did they just stay on the phone listening to each others heavy breaths. Then Paul threw his keys at the wall, loud enough for Darry to hear the clatter and sigh in relief.
"If I can't come to you then will you at least tell me what's wrong with you?"
Paul waited for the answer with a baited breath. He remembers reaching for his keys after a while and that's when he heard it. Darry sniffling once, twice, three times before he had burst into great big heaving sobs. Paul had been stunned but before he could offer any kindness he heard shuffling over the phone and a door nearly slam shut. "Babe? Are you still there"
Silence. Paul was beyond worried at this point and grabbed his keys. He was walking down the stairs when Darry finally choked out a word.
"They aren't coming back are they?"
Oh. Right, somehow Paul had forgotten the Curtis' funeral was tomorrow. They'd been gone for a few days at this point and he thought Darry was doing a really good job all things considered, but of course nothing is ever as it seemed.
He sighed and sat on the bottom stair. "No, darling. They aren't coming back."
"I just– I don't know, I think I had convinced myself they were just out of town, but we're supposed to bury them tomorrow and I'm not ready for that!"
Paul's didn't say anything. What the fuck could he have said? He was sorry, obviously, but sorry wouldn't bring back his future in-laws.
"I just thought–"
"Darry?" Soda. Paul instantly recognized the voice having woken up to it many time over the years when he fell asleep with Darry on the phone. "Darry, the baby's crying and he won't go back to sleep."
Paul swore to God he could hear Darry's teeth grind in that moment. "I'll be right there, Soda!" Darry took a deep breath then said, "I gotta go now, but you're coming right? To– To the–"
"Of course, darling. I wouldn't make you face them alone. I'll even be there early just in case. Hang in there, alright Dar? I love you."
"Right, okay, yeah I love you more."
