Curtis couch/open door policy shenanigans:
The Curtis brothers have definitely woken up to find greasers they don’t even know sleeping on their couch.
Dally and Steve sometimes wrestle or arm wrestle for who gets the couch for a night.
They both give Johnny first dibs, of course.
If Dally finds someone outside the gang sleeping on the couch when he wants it, he’ll push them off. Sometimes he comes over when he knows someone else is using the couch, just to do this. The other greaser usually doesn’t fight back (unless it’s a reflex, always a risk when you wake up a greaser, Dally has definitely gotten some bruises) because they know it’s Dally’s home turf. Some of them leave when this happens, but most of them just go back to sleep on the floor because the Curtis carpet is still better than whatever their alternative is.
Once Dally pushed someone off the couch not realizing it was Sandy - she snuck in after everyone was asleep and didn’t want to crash Soda and Pony’s shared room. Soda punched him, but only as a formality (“hey buddy, I know it was an accident, but I gotta take a swing atcha for this, ya dig?” “Yeah, yeah, I dig, just lemme put out my cigarette.” “Soda, you don’t gotta do that, I’m fine.” “Oh I know baby, don’t worry, this is just what we do”) but Dally’s real punishment was having the gang watch as he actually tried to apologize politely to a girl. That was fuckin hilarious.
Johnny, needless to say, will not fight anyone for the couch. This bugs the gang because he should really get to pull rank. Soda finally comes up with the idea of taping a picture of Johnny above the couch with gigantic scribbled arrows pointing to it and a note saying “GIVE HIM THE COWCH.” Except nobody ever sees it because usually by the time someone stumbles in to crash there for the night, it’s late and the house is dark. So this does nothing.
So Dally implements Plan B: pushing other greasers off the couch to give it to Johnny.
Once they fought a rumble against another greaser gang, and afterwards the other gang didn’t feel like going all the way back to their neighborhood, so they all crashed at the Curtis’. Between the two groups, they used up all the Curtis’ first aid supplies, not to mention all their food.
Darry always warns their couch guest that he will not be making them breakfast in the morning. He always makes them breakfast in the morning. He knows the egg preferences of way too many of the greasers in Tulsa. This may or may not be how he labels them in his head when he can’t remember their name.
One night when Steve was on the couch, he and Soda played a prank on Pony by putting him on the couch while he was asleep, while Steve used his bed. Pony was very grumpy about this when he woke up, and Soda felt badly about it so they never did it again.
They did however pull the reverse prank one time afterwards - Soda snuck onto the couch so Pony woke up to Steve sharing a bed with him instead. Somehow, that was so much worse.
at 3am the other night this ended up in my notes app ... vampire empire and how pony describes/thinks about darry omg
don't mind if it's messy/makes no sense i shouldn't be allowed to write things after 2 in the morning

Grace is 100% that one teacher that is always booked and busy with things his students invite him to. You've got Math Bowl on Saturday? Heck yeah, let me help you study before! School play tonight? Buddy, I'm camping out for front row seats don't you worry. Dance recital next week? I'm not only buying a ticket I'm writing a lesson plan on the physics of dance and you're going to help me demonstrate. You've got a game after school? You'll have to tell me when to cheer but I'll (politely) heckle the ref if you need me to, bud.
he just loves those kids so much I know he does
(needless to say, he's also the Lunch Classroom(tm) )
Hc that one time when soda was working at the DX, a talent agent offered him a business card because of his looks & charm, and since money was tight at the time he took it. Then he started secretly leaving to go shoot commercials for literally the most random things. He also never brought it up to any of the guys because he didn’t want Darry more worried about money. Until one day Two’s watching Mickey on the TV and suddenly Soda pops up advertising candles or something, and of course no one believes him until the commercials start showing up more, then they just randomly start quoting them to him at random times to mess with him
this is frying me LMAOO
and when soda goes outside and random ppl that recognize him from the commercials keep coming up to him, everyone in the gang is like “???? there’s no way they all find u hot”
until they overhear one of those random ppl mention smth abt candles and slim-fitting jeans, and that’s when the gang is like “?!????? wtf r yall talking abt????”
I read the outsiders

Some scenarios inspired by this post from @katrandomwrites !
Presentations:
Be nice.. its my first time drawing anyone but grace.. (and stratt)
Might do more LMAO these were so fun to draw!
Im specifically looking at the sleeping lap board grace.. maybe! 👀
Has anyone thought to make an outsiders x phm au
In Project Hail Mary (the book) there’s a bit where Stratt is being sued for pirating literally everything ever
And I’ve seen lots of posts about how she pulls out the “I can do what I want” paper, but I wanted to highlight some other things about the scene that I found absolutely hilarious:
She’s actively working on something else on her tablet as the trial is beginning.
She doesn’t have a lawyer or anything. It’s just her alone at the defense table
She immediately and continuously requests to end the trial so she can leave (and interrupts both the Plaintiff and the Judge to do so)
After being denied a few times, she just gets up and leaves anyway. When they try to stop her she’s just like “I literally have the entire US army under my command, you have no way to make me stay here.”
Grace isn’t even IN this scene. Every other “past” scene so far has been Grace remembering something from his own life, but I think they threw this one in as a Just For Stratt Special™️
I feel like The Outsiders fandom doesn't take enough advantage of Pony being a good liar. We see him lie to Soda in the first chapter, then on page 73-74 we see him lie to that farmer, and he says that Soda said the ability to lie comes from all the books he reads, further proving that canonically, he is a good liar! Now obviously Pony isn't the most reliable narrator, but if he were a bad liar, Soda would have no reason to lie about it, and he certainly wouldn't have fallen for Pony saying he's cold in chapter one, no matter how tired he was.
Now, I've seen people use Pony being a good liar for chaos reasons, like him starting a gang (on accident), or breaking Darry's rules, or sick fics, but what I really wanna see is how his lying can be incorporated into his canon dynamics with the gang and his family.
Ponyboy thinks throughout the entire book that the gang only tolerates him because he's a Curtis, and because he knows when to keep his mouth shut. Throughout the story, even at the end, Pony is unsure if Darry loves him as much as Soda. That kinda thinking doesn't develop over night. Imagine, 8 year old Pony feigning disinterest when Soda invites him to play with everyone else because he already knows that the older kids will just think of him as an annoyance.
9 year old Pony waking up screaming from a nightmare and telling his parents to go back to bed because 'he was scared but he's okay now,' because he doesn't want his parents to get sick of him the way the other parents in the neighborhood seem to be sick of their kids.
10 year old Pony lying to the cashier about getting cigarettes for his parents because he wants the big kids to take him seriously, and smoking seems like the only way that'll happen.
11 year old Pony lying to his parents about what he ate at school so he can save up the lunch money he gets every day, in hopes that one day he'll be able to support his family.
12 year old Pony acting unaffected when Steve pushes him and yells at him for always chasing after Soda, because he thinks that if he just handles Steve's cruelty he'll one day respect Pony.
13 year old Pony refusing to cry when his parents die, saying 'I'm fine,' in hopes that no one will see how badly the loss actually hurt him.
14 year old Pony telling his brother he's cold after he got jumped because he'd rather die than admit weakness.
14 year old Pony asking Two-Bit not to tell his brothers he's sick because he needs to fight in that rumble, only to end up passing out.
Ponyboy, who would rather lie than be himself because he was taught that being himself is bad.
"...and I wondered foolishly if I would suffocate before they [socs] did anything. I was scared so I was wishing I would." page 13
""It's okay," I said, wishing I was dead and buried somewhere." page 54
"I can't take much more." Johnny spoke my own feelings. "I'll kill myself or something." page 55
"I'm dying, I thought, and wondered what was happening to Johnny." page 64
Recently, I've been thinking more and more about what Johnny gets out of his and Pony's friendship, since I've seen a couple people say that he doesn't seem to get much from it. I, personally, have never seen it that way. Obviously we don't get to see their friendship super well-rounded in canon, so this is just based off of the way I view and interpret these characters.
Pony, obviously, gets a lot from the friendship. He has someone who understands him, cares for him, is his best-friend, forgives him and his faults, and is willing to put him first even when dying. I've seen people look at that and think that Pony is just taking without giving, but I think that to Johnny, taking care of Pony and being someone seen as reliable, is a gift.
Johnny, I believe, is close to Dally partially because he admires him, but also because Dally doesn't treat him as weak. He doesn't coddle him. Dally messes with him, is rude, congratulates Johnny when he kills Bob instead of fussing, and generally treats Johnny as someone who can handle himself while still caring for him. It seems that Ponyboy does the same - when he's rude to Johnny he apologizes but doesn't trip over himself worrying that he's hurt Johnny, he lets Johnny in and shares his struggles with him instead of hiding them from him, and cares for him without making it a Thing.
Now, we don't really see the rest of the gang actually interact with Johnny in canon, but the fandom's general consensus is that, even if he's not being treated like glass, he's still treated differently. A little gentler, kinder, like someone who needs to be looked after. Even if they do respect him and think of him as strong, they still try to protect him. While there's no problem with taking care of someone who is, logically, in a more vulnerable situation than you, I imagine it would be refreshing to Johnny - to be treated as an equal capable of handling sharp barbs and issues, instead of a little brother who needs to be immediately defended from anything that could overwhelm him.
In Johnny's relationship with Pony, he's an equal, and even a protector. Of course, Pony's description of Johnny isn't all that kind, and doesn't give the impression that Pony sees him as an equal, but that's how Pony treats him. When Pony needs support, he trusts Johnny to help him. When the Socs corner them in the park, Pony doesn't step in front of Johnny but stands at his side. He trusts Johnny to be okay and capable of taking care of himself, and to verbalize when he's not. Pony gives Johnny the agency to choose when he needs Pony's support. And this isn't because Pony just automatically assumes that Johnny's okay, but because Johnny does go to him if something is wrong.
Johnny tells Pony when he feels suicidal. He tells Pony about how he prefers when his dad is beating him. He argues with Pony in the church. Johnny only lives for about a week once the book starts, and it's entirely Pony's POV, so yeah we don't see a lot of moments where Johnny is vulnerable, but what we do see of Pony and Johnny's friendship isn't a one-sided exchange - it's two people who trust each other to tell the other the truth and know what they need from the other. I can imagine that that kind of trust is very important, considering that Johnny lacks a lot of control in his life, and Pony is someone who feels like everyone around him tolerates him and only sees him as a tag-along or a burden instead of a friend or equal.
While we don't have super obvious or straight-forward examples of what Johnny gets out of his friendship with Pony, it looks to me like Johnny gets to be a friend, a confidant, an equal, and a protector, while also being trusted enough to say when something is bothering him, and is also given the room to be vulnerable.
been thinking about grace and adrian being alike
