Kind of a bonus chapter from Darry's pov :)

If you have siblings, reblog and put in the tags the strangest inside joke you have with them that nobody else would understand.

Oh and another thing about the theatrical version of the movie, I never knew that it didn't show Tim sitting on the Curtis' couch the morning after Pony gets back. That makes a lot of sense though, because then it makes more sense when before the rumble, Tim asks Pony if it was him and Johnny who killed Bob. In the complete novel version, that part is a little dumb because we see Tim literally reading the newspaper that has Johnny, Pony and Dally's pictures in it, which would've said something about Johnny and Pony killing Bob.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the theatrical version of the movie, but it’s on Tubi right now so I looked at just the part when they’re at the church because there’s a few scenes that aren’t in the complete novel version. One of them is when they’re playing poker, and I know they’re stuck there so they’re probably not playing very seriously but it’s so funny how bad of a hand Pony has compared to Johnny.

Okay here is chapter fourteen!! Yikes, I swear all I did was blink and then suddenly it'd been three weeks since I posted the last chapter. But on the bright side, this is the longest one yet, and it's really fluffy and cheesy and I had so much fun :)

My boss just casually dropped the fact that his first concert was Michael Jackson?? I can’t imagine how cool that was

The lyric “The sky is brighter, lookin' at it through her eyes” from The Painter by Cody Johnson is actually about Johnny saying he never noticed colors and clouds until Pony kept bringing them up.

POV: Darry Curtis talking about what he does with Ponyboy and Soda

[neufer]

“... that's what you get for tryin' to help people, you little punk, that's what you get...”

All Dally has really ever known is that stupid expression ‘no good deed goes unpunished.’ Very few people show him any kindness in the first place, but the ones that do are still dealt a shitty hand. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis are killed long before they should’ve died. Darry still helps out Dally and the other guys after his parents are gone, and life doesn’t give him any favors for his kindness. And then there’s Johnny, who never did anything to deserve the way his parents treat him. But who still did the right thing when he told Dally to stop harassing Cherry at the drive in (and then defended Dally after he’d left), and when he saved the little kids from the church. And he, like the Curtis parents, is killed way too soon. And Dally will never know that it was worth it.

I saw a bus parked outside a motel so I obviously thought of Mark and Angela :)

yep can confirm, anytime there’s a bus outside a motel it’s them fr

Soda feeling guilty that the slap was because of him, and if he hadn’t intervened maybe it wouldn’t have happened.

Soda feeling like all he ever tried to do was bring his brothers closer together, but he’s the one who ripped them apart, causing the domino effect from there.

Soda freaking out the next time they try to pull him into their argument because he cannot be the reason everything falls apart again.

Soda placing his value in being the mediator between Darry and Pony but feeling like he’s the reason their conflicts escalate. Soda trying to be the reason his brothers stop fighting, only to find himself being the thing they fight over. Soda wondering if they would fight less if he wasn’t around.

Staying with my sister this weekend. Even as we’ve gotten older, I’ve never really minded sharing a bed because it’s nice to talk before we sleep, even if it’s not about anything important. I was thinking last night about it, and maybe I’m just projecting, but if I were Darry I would be so jealous of Soda and Ponyboy. I’ve read several fics that explore that and it’s so good. I feel like Darry really would want to be in there with his brothers just talking before bed.

Never ever give up the opportunity to do a bit even when everything else is lost you must never be bitless.

Rereading my own fanfiction on archiveofourown.org? No, couldn't be me (it absolutely is me I do it all the time and I have so much fun)

I guess I’ll just go to work and not think about Brody and Sky singing stay gold together for the last time
