4. 1. Soda 2. Darrel 3. Pony 4. Johnny 5. Two Bit 6. Dally 7. Steve

9. THE HOSPITAL REUNION SCENE 100%

21. This is musical related, but it’s that I don’t really care that Randy was cut from the musical

Soda is that teenager who follows his mom around the house yapping and perches on the end of her bed at unholy hours of the night, still yapping.

Except it’s Darry. Darry is mom. It’s 3 AM, Darry has the covers pulled over his head, and Soda is still standing in the corner yapping about his day.

the emosiders posting + a normal sodapop(lunas wife)

Steve and Dally and Soda and Johnny and Two-Bit just causing mischief because they’re all near the same age and then Ponyboy and Darry playing go fish or Monopoly at home because they’re the two extremes- oldest and youngest. So they end up with each other a lot and their thing is just board games and small talk and just relaxing in each other’s presence

soda doesn’t share food, not even with steve. he broke one of steve’s fingers once after he tried to take a fry off soda’s plate (“by accident”…yeah right, tell that to steve’s finger)

Got a new ita bag and it’s dedicated to the Faust twins this time. Definitely not as plentiful an ita bag could be but I used my limited collection of Faust goodies.

This one isn't a ship, but rather I've always had this theory that Peppermint Cookie and Cream Soda Cookie are related to each other, especially since they look so similar to each other.

Could you draw them as siblings or something?

Sure! Hope this is ok <3

Just thinking abt how the queerness in this specific group is just such a normal thing for them. Like, yeah, Ace doesn’t like girls like that. Yeah, Pony and Johnny are closer than friends. Yeah, Darrel never looked at a girl the way he used to look at Paul. It’s just so normal for them. None of them quite say it, it’s just, there. But it’s not weird to joke like that. It ain’t weird for Ace to talk about this guy he saw at the drive in. It ain’t weird for Pony and Johnny to curl up together and hold each other in ways normal best friends don’t. It’s weird for Steve to never mention anyone at all. It’s not even too shocking when Soda slips a guy in with all the pretty girls he mentions. It’s just who they are. And they know they can’t go around and blast it to everyone they know. But there, with their family, the people who are “weird” and “wrong” in the same ways they are, all of em know it’s okay.

The thing is I love ponyboy curtis as much as the next person but at the end of the day you’ll never find me writing for him because he has forty three thousand fics specifically about him whereas soda has like eight

stay gold is for darry too (except this is what i meant to say the first time b4 i got distracted)

“when you’re young and the world is new / it’s easy to forget when you’re trying just to make it through”

darry is 20 years old and for the first time he’s having to learn about bills and when to pay them and how to pay them, he’s having to learn about debt works and how long he can take to pay them back. he’s having to learn how to budget because suddenly he can’t take whatever change he has left at the end of the day to take his brothers to the rodeo or the bookstore, instead that change has to go to something more sustainable.

and darry has a one track mind. to him, since he has to play guardian, since he has to play parent, he’s not allowed to have fun anymore. he has to work day in and day out to keep his brother yes, but he’s also working so his brothers don’t have to work this hard. he’s working this hard in hopes that one day, hopefully in a year or so, they’ll have enough saved up so he can stop playing parent. he’s hoping they’ll have enough saved up so this child can stop walking in his dad’s enormous shoes and can finally be a kid again.

he’s opening at the end of this he can finally just be a friend and a brother again. the thing is though darry forgets. he forgets about the now. he forgets how sensitive his brothers are; soda makes a point for darry to know he can lean on him if he needs to, but sometimes darry gets a little to comfortable and forgets to remind soda the same. darry and pony used to be a whole lot closer before their parents died. but after darry forgets how sensitive he is; pony likes playing big and bold (like every 14 year old) so he’s forgets that pony really is just a baby. he forgets that pony lost his parents too at a really young age and needs a bit more comfort; darry forgets to offer that comfort.

darry never neglects his brothers, god no he doesn’t. in his mind, he eats dinner… most nights with them, he’s usually not back til late, eating dinner with the dim light above the stove. he sees them to bed though! he makes sure they’re all ready for bed and can find him if they need him, though pony has taken to finding soda instead which… is new.

controversial arcade opinion, looking at rob lowe makes me physically uncomfortable and i am so forever thankful that the musical has better looking actors for soda
