We don’t talk enough about how Ponyboy is Johnny and Dally’s favourite guy. Like they just like him so fucking much and feel protective towards him. I know they laugh at all his witty, sarcastic quips and enjoy his company so much. They gave him their jackets!!!!! I fucking love them

Purly fic excerpt (because idk if I'll finish it)
“You’re flat fucking stupid you know that?” Angela snaps, dragging Curly inside by his ear after checking to make sure Tim’s not around. She shoves him onto a chair and grabs the first aid kit from the bathroom. Curly’s got a gash on his head that’s bleeding like a stuck pig and the last thing they need is for Tim to find out about Culry’s latest stupid stunt. It’s a good thing Curly’s got the thickest skull of anyone she’s ever met because the header he took trying to slide down the banister at school ain’t no joke.
“What possessed you?” She dumps alcohol on a rag and rubs it over the gash none too gently. Curly tries to pull away but she’s cleaned up enough of his injuries that she expects it and holds on tight to a handful of his hair to stop him moving away.
“C’mon Angel,” he groans, wincing a little as the alcohol no doubt burns like a motherfucker, “Pony said no one could do that banister and I wanted to prove him wrong.”
“What is it with you pulling stupid shit around that kid, huh? I swear to god if I didn’t know better I’d say you were actin’ like you got a crush the way you’re always doing dumb shit tryin’ to impress him.”
Suddenly, Curly goes very still, swallowing harshly.
Carefully, very carefully Angela lets her hands slide out of Curly’s hair, puts the rag on the table. She hadn’t meant anything by it, honest, but now that she thinks about it it makes a little too much sense.
“Curly…”
“Don’t.”
“Curly I-”
“I said don’t, Angel,” he rounds on her with a snarl, and it's a look she’s seen on Tim’s face too many times to not recognize it as somewhere between hopeless and terrified and determined to hide it, “I mean it. Ain’t none of your business.”
He snatches up the half bloody rag and storms off to their room, slamming the door shut behind him and leaving Angela alone with her thoughts.

While Johnny and Dally often go together as characters and you can’t analyse one without the other, I don’t think they’re mirrors of each other. I’ve seen the idea that Johnny might’ve reminded Dally of him when he was younger (even though Dally and Johnny have barely a year difference), but tbh, I just don’t think Dally was ever a Johnny or that Johnny could become a Dally.
Even though Johnny isn’t hardened like Dally, he’s not innocent or has an inherent goodness that the world has yet to snuff out. He knows the cruelty of the world, and starts off the novel as this very jaded person who no longer sees hope or point in the life he’s living due to his dire circumstances. And yet, over the course of the novel, he chooses to be good even though it’s something he knows will hurt him, and even understands and decides that it’s better than the alternative even if you do get hurt.
Dally’s mirror is Ponyboy. Ponyboy could become hateful and angry like Dally and decided to harden himself against the world in order to not get hurt. We even see a glimpse of this Ponyboy; a Ponyboy who threatened people and could hurt them before they hurt him, who thought it was better to get tough rather than get hurt. Ponyboy decides the only reason to fight is for self-defence, but Dally’s been brought up believing that violence is self-defence at its core and he constantly fights because it’s all he knows, because fighting makes you tough and once you get tough you don’t get hurt. Soda even says this at one point:
If Pony ended up hardening himself to everything including love and beauty, and decided to keep on fight, he could have ended up as Dally. Maybe not to a T, but someone similar in those core ways.
And yet Ponyboy is also Johnny’s mirror. And that’s who he chooses to embody. Rejecting violence, keeping himself open to the world and loving it despite its cruelty and harm. Seeing beauty in everything and understanding the world isn’t black and white.
