Ponyboy getting triggered by his trauma while writing The Outsiders

him pausing to cry silently while writing about him getting jumped. he was barely 14 and he almost died.

Soda holding him while he writes about when the Socs try to drown him. Soda reminding him to breathe. that he was safe.

Pony reliving the most traumatic week of his life through writing, having to put words to his pain, having to acknowledge that some people were really gone.

Darry checking in on him, peeking through the door whenever Pony's breath would hitch.

Pony having Soda and Darry read over what he wrote every day, to check in on him, to fact check him, to be there for him.

Pony getting triggered while writing, and having Soda and Darry right there to pick him right back up.

oh also for the people who like to demonize ponyboy and say he’s “a brat”, i hope you realize that this freshly fourteen year old child who should be in middle school saw five dead bodies within the span of eight months, two of which were blatant murders, another two were his parents and the last was his best friend. i just hope you realize that when you demonize pony and say he “deserved what happened to him”.

I hate the way people act like Ponyboy is a spoiled brat or a crybaby as if he’s not 14 years old and going through life altering trauma

arguing against ai is always like. im not sure how to explain to you. that you need to think for yourself with your own thoughts. . maybe this would be easier to understand if idk, you were practiced in thinking for yourself

Darry: “Pony got bullied at school today.”

Gang: “-beat the tar outta them!” “-I’ll start the car-“ “-they’ll be sorry-“

Darry: “no no, best thing you can do with bullies is ignore them.”

Gang (various reactions): “????” “😤” “🙄”

Darry: “then you sneak into their house at 4 am. Which statistically speaking is the hour people are least prepared to defend themselves.” (Dally: “correct.”) “Once you’re standing over them, as they sleep in their bed…….you start to beat them. With a thick, heavy, rope…..soaked in red paint. Pummeling them. Over. And over. Until they wake, confusing the paint for their own blood. When they beg you to stop, you laugh. As loud as you can. For as long as you can. And then………………you start to beat them again.”

Gang: “…………………..”

Darry: “welp, guess I better call Pony’s teacher and get all the details. Yes hello, may I please speak to Mrs Miller? Pleasure to meet you, ma’am. My name is Darrel Curtis, and I’m the concerned guardian of one of the students in your honors class……….”

darry looks so similar to his dad it’s uncanny, and he hates it.

he took pride in it as a kid—he’d hear the comments about how he was “growing up to be just like his papa!” and darry would beam proudly as he looked up at his dad with those bright eyes, taking pride in having his dad’s name. when darry grew olde and taller and people mistook them for brothers, darry laughed it off. he couldn’t tell if it was. a compliment to his dad or an insult to him—it became their running gag together. darry used to look back at his dad’s old yearbooks and sports scrapbooks, taking pride in his father and their relationship. those books aren’t collecting dust, the photos of darry proudly holding a football trophy with his dad’s arm slung around him lays flat down without eyes to look at it anymore. darry looks in the mirror and all he can see is his dad, but those aren’t his dad’s eyes—his own were too tired. too old for his face.

darry can’t look in the mirror much anymore. he can’t se r himself a lot of the time. he wonders if he does look in the mirror that all he’ll see is his dad’s eyes, no longer glowing with excitement, but glowering with disappointment. he wasn’t darrel shaynne, he was just…darry. worn down darry who can’t seem to quit nagging his baby brother and who keeps bugging soda with how much he cents to him. darry, who works himself to the bone. darry. not darrel-darry.

sometimes he sees the recognition flash in his brothers’ eyes, the pain that lingers. he knows looking like and carrying his dad’s name is a heavy burden on him, but it’s also hard for them. but he’s not dad. he doesn’t have to be. besides, his eyes are too cold to be him. he’s not darrel, and he’s okay with that. he just hopes he’s making his old man proud.

hey, which horror subgenre are you?

How do you feel about AI used as spelling checks? Like putting ur fic into a ai thing to check grammar and what-not

Nope, hate it. Don't do it. It still takes the data from the writing you put in and it still uses unnecessary resources, there are other options. Look it over yourself or get someone else to

[atlas-coolbean]
