RIP Dallas you would have loved saying womp womp to the most devastating news ever

[pixelsdepleting]

Love writing Johnny as a gossip loving teenager, never participating, but always listening

[pixelsdepleting]

Dallas Winston actually isn’t a blond, he’s one of those brunettes who were blond when they were babies but their hair darkened and are now in denial about it. Pony only called him a blond out of respect for the dead

[pixelsdepleting]

let me paint you a picture.

Post canon Outsiders

Pony doesn't stay gold. Whatsoever. He gets messed up in rougher gangs. Makes bad friends. Starts fights. Gets into drugs. Starts going after socs instead of them going after him. He becomes the worst of the Shepard gang and then some. He disregards his future, doesn't give a crap. After all, if Johnny can't have one, if Dally can't have one, why should Pony get one? Besides, these... activities? They're the only way to forget, to numb the pain constantly coursing through Pony's body. Darry made him talk to a doctor about it before he got real messed up, and they called it "survivors guilt". Pony's doesn't care what it is, just knows that it ain't going away, and deep down, he knows he doesn't deserve for it to go away.

Soda can't let go of the Pony he once knew. He's still holding onto fragments of memories of a Pony who slept in their house every night, who stayed up light to finish homework, not pulling pranks or getting drunk. Of a Pony who would disappear for hours only for Soda to find him nestled in a corner, reading a book. Now he only found him in the holding cell looking bored after getting caught by the police. But Soda held onto those fragments like a Potter to their works in a tornado (or something of the like) except the Potter was delusional and all their pots where figments of their imagination.

And now let me add in I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski.

I bet on losing dogs I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place by the ring

Soda who sees Pony going down this path, knowing he can't do anything about it, but can't help but rely on him for comfort. Can't help but bet on him and he knows that someday it will come back to bite him in the form of terrible grief.

Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down I'll be there on their side I'm losing by their side

Once Pony really crashes and burns, Soda will still be with him, because it's his brother. Soda defends Pony to Darry all day and all night because of this spark of hope that maybe, maybe some remnant of Pony is still in there. But eventually, he'll be losing right by Pony's side.

My baby, my baby You're my baby, say it to me Baby, my baby Tell your baby that I'm your baby

Soda who can't help but love Pony. Even after he comes home covered in blood that isn't his own, staring straight ahead with no shimmer of kindness or love left in those dull green gray eyes. Even after he tells Soda he's given up trying. Even after he yells and screams at Soda, just telling him to give up on him, that he isn't who he used to be, and he never will be.

Never again.

But Soda just looks into him and remembers how he was.

My baby, my baby

How I think the gang dies (and the order)

Johnny: fire burns (canon)

Dally: suicide by cop (canon)

Steve: I feel like Steve dies as a result of his dad. His dad kicks him out again and Steve finally says no, this is my home, I'm not leaving. In anger, his dad starts beating him... Until Steve lays motionless, blood pooling around him as he takes his final breaths

Sodapop: I feel like once Steve dies, Soda starts to lose it. He doesn't actually die by suicide, his death was a car accident. But they do find a suicide note in his bedroom because he was planning on/considering killing himself.

Ponyboy: Pony was already having a hard time with Dally and Johnny die, and despite not liking him much, he's devastated by Steve's death. But it's Soda's death that throws him over the edge. He starts spending more time with Curly, who is very concerned because, suddenly, Pony starts doing more than smoking, he becomes addicted to weed and harder drugs. Until he ODs on purpose, and Two-Bit finds his body in the bathroom, a letter clutched tightly in his fist

Darry: Darry is obviously broken about losing three friends, but he is so devastated his brothers die. He blames himself, they were his responsibility and he feels like he failed them. He stops being careful at work, stops staying out of trouble. His youth was cut short and now he's reliving it recklessly. He dies in a roofing accident, when he falls off the roof

Two-Bit: Two has always had an alcohol problem, but when every single one of his friends die - the friends he considered family - he starts drinking even more. He dies of alcohol poisoning a few months after Darry's funeral

to the outsiders fandom

ohmygosh stop pretending that both sides weren’t at fault

bob didn’t need to die

stop infantilizing the greasers. stop infantilizing the socs.

neither side was right, there is no right and wrong. it is not black and white.

it is extremely morally gray, and that morally gray area is bob’s death.

Pony there’s no shame in having a crush you can blame it on teenage hormones and angst

"Can you guys lay off already?"

"I don't got no crush, I already told y'all!"

"Get some hobbies, or somethin', 'cuz buggin' me 'bout a crush that I don't got ain't a good one! 'Specially Curly-- Curly don't got a crush on no one, 'specially not me. Ain't no way." ... "We're just friends, that's it. All we'll be."
