was working on a gifset idea for hintonverse brothers and got to this scene. really displays a very underrated moment that was left on the cutting room floor but came back in the complete novel. johnny sitting in the back, way from everyone with this look of shame to his body language.

and it's 100% shame, hanging out the back because seconds before this, the socs jumping ponyboy is happening.

and we get this little moment that i'll gif:

that's johnny seeing the socs attack ponyboy, yet being unable to actually move over and jump in. for him to look at that, see everyone else jump in but be held back is a really interesting view of his character. there's some guilt and shame in his posture in that first shot—and it makes it clear that he's very much affected by the soc violence.

it's such a good character beat for them to give johnny here, and an illustration of him wanting to be brave, and failing to do so.

I do think doing a queer reading of Johnny is very interesting, but also that his super-power is to be flaming sometimes feels like a lay-up. Oh, Johnny, you did a good job acting normal on your date with your girlfriend and, what's this? Oh, yeah, he's flaming again.

im. going literally insane trying to make johnny's boy scout uniform accurate with all the insignia and stuff. hyperfixation does crazy things to people i guess.

anyways! here's a wip from the johnny lineup im making. he should be relatively historically accurate? the boy scout uniforms updated in 1981 to move away from the dark green long sleeves and pants we see on the album cover to short sleeves tanish brownish top with olive shorts or pants. i didnt want to let go of the dark green long sleeves and pants though so i just set him up to conveniently leave boy scouts right before that happens! aka! get the electric chair! teehee.

yapfest about his uniform details below ...

i havent added every patch i want to yet but i did take a lot of time to consider which patches he would and would not have. like for instance, he does not have the recruiter patch because he has no friends and would not have been able to recruit anyone LOL. he DOES however, have the arrow of light, meaning he was a cub scout(and he got the highest honor yhat cub scouts can get awarded)! how interesting.

also, just thought it'd be fun to share, here are some pictures i found of the different uniforms. the two advertisements are the uniform johnny is wearing, the 1970s one. the third is the updated 1981 version. (the actual picture is from 1987). the second advertisement is supposedly from 1967, and the first is 1974.

the only a lad album cover is taken from norman rockwell's boy scout handbook cover painting, which was done way before the updated 80s uniform. here's the two side by side!

aaaand of course the original handbook.

look at him. not a single bad thing plaguing his mind. johnny could have been happy. but nope! monster hand.

ALSO DETAIL THAT IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE POINT OUT BUT ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EDITS THEY DID FOR THE ALBUM COVER but the patch on his right front pocket is the louis wain kitty from the ep cover!! how sweet.

ok yapfest over.

Shout out to my zombie Johnny who has existed for 4 years and is only now debuting on this blog

[thelittlestspider]

my take is they should've let johnny be part of the coffee bean gang. just because.
