The fact that Dally smokes Winstons always gets to me. It’s one of those details that reminds you that he’s seventeen years old. Of course he’s gonna choose the cigarettes with his name. Any kid would.

Darry was hella messy in high school. Like if he wasn't invited to party, he'd call the police on it so it'd get shut down.

If he wasn't going, no one was.

i think I've been listening to Throwing in the Towel too much

[sosasturns]

the way he talks about his art—

…i’m so down bad

[qprpbj]

ok no bc i love josh boone DOWN but hearing dally played as so fearful and juvenile instead of cold and hardened and so domineering is such a fantastic character choice (equally good iterations btw!!!! just so different!!!) like. the terrified screaming in little brother??? he sounds so young and afraid like that’s just a 17 year old fr!!!!! and the confrontation scene with darry where he’s not yelling back at him, he keeps himself collected bc he’s trying not to sound scared, trying to sound older than he is but he’s really Not. he’s so much smaller and younger and. they’re both equally terrified. darry and dally truly run SO parallel and it’s soooo glaringly obvious in that audio imo like. omfg. i have so many thoughts

Ponyboy: “Dallys the toughest guy in Tulsa!!!”

Dally:

[dallasgallant]

Theyre said to just be chilling on set photos but in my heart I sort of want there to be a scene involved here, because chilling on the couch in stocking feet™️ is such a Soda thing?

Maybe like a flashback? Hunting trip? Tommy’s clothes sort of give that unless it’s some sort of catcher in the rye cosplay lmao.

Love the shag carpet so so much lmao

Ponyboy: The stars look beautiful tonight

Johnny: You know who else is beautiful?

Ponyboy: *blushes* Who?

Johnny: Dally

i did it!!

@calix-amini @harryapping

pony and dally to match

[acidbath42000-deactivated202604]

Darrys the type of chap to be the biggest fucking shit talker. He's a work and someone pisses him off the SECOND he gets home he is on the couch yapping like:

'I don't even know why he gets an opinion? Like 'your on your fourth strike' your on your fourth wife pal. He's so fucking annoying I catch him out in public it's on sight.'

And everyone's just sitting there and agreeing

once darry had to physically restrain ponyboy while soda washed his hair because it was getting so greasy, it hadn't been washed in WEEKS. the whole time pony was literally screeching about how its a statement and hes never going to forgive them for doing this to him

ponyboy slander

Behold:

A thing

The chore chart appears a couple weeks after the death of Mr. And Mrs. Curtis. The creation of it comes after countless arguments about people pulling their weight. You do your chores and you get a gold star. They boys claim they don't care about getting stars but it quickly becomes a contest on who gets the most. (Winner gets a treat at the end of the week) (Pony steals the stars out of the junk drawer but absolutely denies it, it becomes obvious though when magically him and Johnny have more than anyone.)

The chores are assigned randomly and switch at the end of the week. Darry writes them on masking tape for easy transfer.

Dally ripped the chart in a fit of rage after Darry yelled at him for not vacuuming one week.

Every week is a new angry note written on cardboard in the spot where his stars are supposed to go. He did his chores one week because Johnny was sick and he didn't want johnny to strain himself but otherwise he ignores the chore chart.

There are certain chores they are better at than others. Two-Bit isn't allowed to vacuum after he tried to vacuum up beer caps instead of picking them up by hand. Steve and Soda had to perform emergancy surgery on the vacuum.

The chore chart is another way the gang searches for consistency in their new life. It causes bickering but brings comfort.

[generic-enthusiast]

I love how Ponyboy has one-sided beef with literally half the gang

[jamandjazz]

I want people to talk ab his aspirin addiction more because oh my god why does no one talk about how messed up this kid is canonically

He’s got a cigarette addiction. He’s got an aspirin addiction. He has trouble eating properly by the end of the book. I think a common cold could beat his ass.

Bro just gets addicted to things WAY too easily. I don’t know how bros the star of his track team with everything going on but at this point I think he’s either the king of pushing through things or his team sucks ASS

[littlelottielove]

Second stop: THE DX STATION!!! This was so cool! Look, Soda is employee of the month. More pics soon. Important to note, I am not yet in Tulsa. This is Sperry, 20 mins away.

I had no clue you could go inside! The DX was rebuilt years after filming for tourists,

Summer Headcanons!

Darry is constantly spraying the boys with Off bug spray. He’ll literally just come up behind them and douse them in a cloud of bug spray.

Steve and Dally are mosquito magnets. They get eaten alive during the summer and are always scratching at the bites of their arms.

Soda, Two-Bit, Steve, Dally and Darry never have their shirts on when it’s hot. They’ll walk around the Curtis house half naked and it annoys Pony so much.

Pony burns soooo badly. This boy turns lobster red if he’s out for more than 30 minutes without sunscreen. He gets freckles on his nose and the high points on his cheeks that only come out in sun.

Johnny keeps his jean jacket at the Curtis house during the summer, because he doesn’t want anything to happen to it if he were to leave it at his house.

Soda, Steve and Darry get the most tanned from working outside.

The boys have an annual contest to see who can make the best popsicles. Johnny’s been the champion for the past three years, and Two-Bit usually comes in last. Two-Bit will blend random ingredients together and doesn’t take it too seriously.

Darry likes to grill out in the backyard. His Dad used to do that every summer, and he likes to continue the tradition.

Pony and Johnny can usually be found at the local pool.

Two-Bit absolutely refuses to wear sunscreen because he hates the way it feels on his skin. He’ll get burned, but still won’t put any one.

Soda will give Johnny a little haircut in the summer so it’s not so hot on his neck.

Dally doesn’t like the hot weather and prefers the Fall weather.

If u talk to ponyboy n he’s not paying attention he will 💯 stare at u like this

“Huh, sorry what did u say?”
