when i finally find a fic thats so accurate i re-read it every chance i get

[op1umeyes]

thinkin about emotionally strong reader falling apart into bf’s arms… :,)

     He knows it’s bad when you can’t bring yourself to say anything: no witty remarks to play it off, no humble shrug to show that it didn’t phase you- not even a weak joke that you’d heard from passerby during the previous week. He would have known anyway but he knows how bad it is when you can’t hide the wobble in your chin when you meet him at the door and melt into his arms.

     The sound of your stifled cries weaken his heart because he just knows how long you’ve been trying to hold it all together. You don’t know that he sheds his own tears at your sorrow. You don’t know that he feels his own pained heart grow just a touch because you trust him enough to be able to comfort you- to run to him when there is something you really can’t make better.

     When you finally stop trying to smother out the sound of your cries, it breaks his own heart into pieces because your grief is his. He doesn’t know what to do in this pile on the floor- your arms wrapped tightly around him in fear of him leaving with one hand resting at the top of your head and the other one of his hands supporting your neck as you weep into his shoulder- so he just holds you.

     And later, when your cries turn hoarse and the tears run dry, you let him pull you to your feet. He carries you to the dark bedroom because he knows you get headaches after crying. When you still don’t say a word he goes to the kitchen and scavenges some Tylenol and a cup of water.

     He knows you don’t like to feel helpless- to feel like you need to rely on someone. But if he’s being honest, he likes being able to care for you. He likes how you curl up with your head on his chest and your hands wrapped around him. He likes how you let him draw shapes on your back because you secretly love the physical touch. He likes how you let out soft sighs throughout the course of the movie because he knows you’re still awake.

     But most of all, he likes the intamacy of being the one you run to when it’s all too much because damn it all to hell if he made you feel like you weren’t free to be vulnerable with him.

and soda calls him honey and darry calls him baby and he gets carried to bed and they tickle him awake in the morning and they all eat chocolate cake for breakfast and they play football on saturdays and they fall asleep in each other's laps and they hold tight to each other and they miss their parents and they're all they've got left now. anyway.

I watched this movie for the first time in ages and remembered how obsessed with it 13-year-old me was 🫶 I kinda wish I could show this to little me, she'd be freaking out over it tehe

The gang develops a running joke that when something out of their control happens, it’s Dally and Johnny haunting them.

Steve’s car won’t start and Soda goes, “looks like ol’ Dal’s givin us a sign that we shouldn’t go to work today. We better listen, ya don’t wanna disrespect the dead.”

Darry trips on Pony’s backpack in front of the door. “Goddamn it Pony, I told you not to leave your stuff in the doorway!” “It wasn’t me. That musta been Dally messin with you.”

The next day Darry gets him back when Ponyboy is sitting on the porch writing, and a gust of wind sends all his loose pages flying across the yard. “I think Johnnycake’s tryin to tell you that ain’t your best work.”

The brothers of all time

[cheezy-whizz]

Shout out to dysfunctional teenage friend groups from 80s movies, gotta be one of my favorite genders

[dairyfairyy]

ive watched this movie more times than I can count, yet im only hearing this part now 😭😭

Steve:

"Soda,"

*points*

"shoes."

steve and soda you both deserve so much i wish i could give it all to you

During the Christmas season, a small sprig of mistletoe appears over the Curtis brother’s kitchen door, but with a slight rule change: instead of being kissed, anyone caught under the mistletoe gets punched. Overnight, mass war is declared.

Johnny’s living in the kitchen because he’s too scared to try and get out.

Two-Bit gets decked the most, because he keeps forgetting and brazenly walks through the door multiple times a day.

Ponyboy is climbing through windows just to avoid the door.

Soda and Steve are either bolting through doors faster than they can be caught, or trying to sabotage people by pushing them under the mistletoe.

Dally is is relatively safe, because no one wants to try taking a piece out of him; in return, he hides behind the door and wallops whoever tries to sneak through, laughing maniacally the whole time.

Meanwhile Darry is pinching the bridge of his nose, 100% done, like “guys please stop, this is stupid”

Then turns around and absolutely DECKS Steve as he tries to sprint into the kitchen.

Refs were from this Seinfeld post lol

[pinkponyboyclub]

pony being like "darry treats me like a little kid even though i am grown🙄" brother soda has to sleep in your bed because you have nightmares otherwise. they tickle you out of bed every morning. darry carried you to bed like a baby. you draw pictures of horses instead of doing your homework.

[tending-the-hearth]

actually thinking about this moment forever if anyone even cares

One of the hardest things for Darry being Ponyboy's guardian is when he gets in trouble at school.

Like one time the school called him in because Ponyboy got into a fight at lunch with a soc because the dude said something along the lines of "you greasers are on thin ice" and Ponyboy said "at least I can stand on ice, you fat fuck" and they started swinging.

Poor Darry had to sit in front of the principal and act like that wasn't the funniest fucking thing he's ever heard.
