The book is so focused on how ponyboy feels and how he reacts to johnny and dally dying but like what about the others? The book makes it seem like they’re fine and pony is the only one affected (no hate on the book). But anyways i thought i would write how i think they all felt about it.

Darry: He was devastated because he feels like everyone in the gang is his responsibility and he let them down. He felt like if he hadn’t blow up at pony none of this would have happened. He tries his best to stay strong in front of his brothers but sometimes he just can’t anymore and he breaks down at night. 

Sodapop: Theirs deaths broke him and it does show a bit in the book and movie. He loved johnny like a little brother and dally was one of his best buddies. On top of all that he lost sandy too, who meant the world to him. I think he tries to stay strong for pony but as we saw, he breaks when he sees his brothers fighting and i think those tears were a build up from the whole past week.

Two-bit: After dally died two-bit complained about losing his switchblade. When steve got mad that thats all he was upset about two bit said it wasn’t, but he wished it was. Two-bit did this for a while, denying the fact that he was devastated, not letting himself think about it. I think eventually it hit him and he had a really depressed period but i think he realized they were in a better place. 

Steve: I feel like he was in a state of shock about it for a little while after that night but then he went through a period of time where he just cried. He was really sad. Soda helped him through it and steve really started to appreciate soda. 

I think it really affected the whole gang but they all had each other through it to lean on. I wish i had a group like that in my life. 

Sorry if this is weird or dumb i was just thinking about it.

One of my favorite Harry Potter headcanons is that Draco went to Fred’s funeral. I always believed that he was remorseful and the 6th book proved how much he was affected by things. He believes it was his fault that Fred died so he went to the funeral and stood in the back and at the end he went up to the grave and said sorry. No one saw him except George. Draco did some bad shit but he’s as human as anyone else.

Does anyone else have like that ultimate connection with books? Like when a character dies it’s like losing a friend. I cry every night for a week. And then when i read the last page and close the book for the last time i start crying all over again. I also always have those characters that i fall in love with. They’re mine and that’s that. And then i cry because they’re not real. I would give anything just for one day with them. But at the same time they are real. They’re more real to me then my classmates and even some of my friends. Because no one else has read the book and no one knows the characters. So they are mine and inside my head they’re very real and i think about them all the time. In my mind they love me and understand me when no one else does. They are there for me on my darkest nights and all i have to do is pick up the book and read a page and i’m back inside that world that i love so much. There’s nothing i wouldn’t give just to wake up and be there. 

That’s why i love reading so much. It’s the only thing i can count on. The characters are the only friends that i can guarantee won’t leave. Sometimes books are the only things i have. I love just disappearing into another world. 

It is by far my favorite thing 💗💗💗
