ponyboy (book, movie, stageplay, show, musical) gives me parental instincts and i have no idea why. i can't help but cry when I think fo him for too long because. oh he's a fourteen year old boy. that CHILD had to go through the loss of his parents, the (metaphorical) loss of his oldest brother, his bestfriend, his close friend, and himself. ponyboy saw three dead bodies in the span of one week. id go on but i think id start talking about ponyboy as if he were my child
