i know i know the socs picked most of the fights but still i cant help but feel for them because they're doing what they've been raised to do
and in justice for tulsa its mainly paul and cherry. and cherry is trying to get paul to feel for the greasers because everything wouldn't have happened if it weren't for them jumping pony and johnny
but i think paul was just grieving too because if he's randy's replacement then it means they were like good friends yk and he's trying to blame anyone but himself because he wouldn't be able to take it if it was his fault that his best friend died
and everytime i listen to the last part i hear paul's voice and i think about how pained it is and how they're fighting for their own against the people "to blame"
they feel that they NEEED revenge or something because they don't want to be the ones to lose most certainly after bob died too.
it's the whiplash from something like this too because they've always messed around before but never to that point and they really don't know how to go about it except for fighting
all because bobs parents couldnt say no
also if it were anyone else to be brought up in the socs circumstances they would end up the same way
(i need someone to write something soc-centric where we see their perspective but we also see character development pls and ty)
darry was six years old and already had five little brothers so he knew he was ready for a sixth
at first he didn't like it, but he grew to love his brother and being an older brother when his first baby brother, keith, was born.
so you can imagine the excitement for dally
and then the extreme excitement for twins
and then another one
darry practically had a mini army
but the army wasn't very useful when the three youngest were in a stroller, dally was all shy, and keith was always bored so he always made it darrys problem
just like when he was sitting in the waiting room with his siblings and his uncle as they waited for their dad to come get them
keith was poking him and trying to get him to play
dally was in the seat on the other side of keith, also waiting quietly which was really good for a kid his age.
and their uncle was trying to entertain steve, soda, and johnny in the stroller so they wouldn't start crying again
which really was starting to annoy little darry
he loved them but the kid was stressing cause theres gonna be another onee
once their dad came out, darry practically jumped out of his seat and grabbed the hands of his two younger brothers to walk to their mama
and uncle jeff pushed the stroller
darry didn't have a hold on dally for too long before the latter ran to their dad for "uppies"
grabby arms and all
keith however was running his toy car up and down darry's arm
darry let it slide
what darry didn't let slide was the extra babbling from sodapop
the kid was overdoing it
so yk what darry did?
he side eyed him
yeah thats right
but eventually they made it to their mama's room
they went closer
darry peaked over and saw his mama smiling
and in her arms was the smallest baby he had ever seen
he hadn't remembered even lil johnny being that small
dally was still being held by their dad before peaking over and then hiding back in his dad's chest
eventually little dally looked back and smiled
"baby!"
keith was overjoyed as he held out the car to the baby, who was still asleep in their mama's arms, seemingly rejected when the boy hadn't woke up and suddenly started playing with him
their mama had to explain
"haven't seen last of me, baby!"
their mama had smiled at the boys, the ones that weren't now asleep in the stroller
their parents steadied them as they held their littlest brother for the first time
their parents watched as they saw the joy in their eyes at the small baby
once the baby went back to their mama and their dad, they had questions to ask
darry looked up to his beaming mama. she looked tired but also as happy as she was everytime she got to hold one of her precious children for the first time.
"what's his name, mama?"
little darry had asked
"his name is ponyboy"
if you saw my other posts about my fic/headcanons for my au about the gang being all LEGIT brothers, can y'all tell me what you what like to see me write in that au? just as one-shots or what you'd like to see in the actual fic (in the works)?
i wanna write something and i have like no ideas so lemme know if there's any dynamics y'all wanna see into for the au or any specific events or ideas :)
some silly little headcanons i have specifically for my au of the outsiders that i felt the need to write down all in one place.
after their parents died, darry made a deal with the state that he could keep his brothers as long as they're able to support themselves
so darry got three jobs, roofer, contractor, and uh...yk what.
two-bit who was almost 18 started working at a grocery store cause i said so
dally managed to get a job as a bartender at bucks
and ofc soda and steve work at the dx
johnny and pony don't have jobs yet cause the others don't want them to because they're "too young"
(when really they're 14 and 15 and are in fact old enough)
when everyone else is at work, johnny and pony stay home and watch movies. like binge watch.
they once thought they could handle horror movies.
they couldnt.
they were latching on to darry when he got home.
dinner at their house is chaotic.
they're yapping over each other and darry's trying to get them to settle down so that people don't report a noise complaint on them.
how to bribe the curtises?
not money.
not gold.
these big backs only listen when there's dessert involved.
even after a 12 course meal, if they're hungry in the middle of the night and sneak out to the kitchen, there will most likely already be someone there
steve and soda used to share a room.
keyword: used to
they would stay up all night giggling and shi
same thing with pony and johnny.
so steve and pony swapped rooms.
darry regrets it cause now soda and pony cant stop giggling, but he can't stop it so he just gave up
so therefore dally and two bit share a room.
dally isn't thrilled
two bit yaps
dally needs sleep or he'll be grumpy in the morning
but two-bit contradicts him saying that dally is gonna be grumpy either way.
and then dally comes at him about still living in the house as an adult and then teases him for his lack of ability to pull
dally would try to find a way to get darry to let him sleep in his room if darry weren't such a heavy snorer
(dally snores too)
(but he refuses to accept it)
darrys the type to need his morning coffee before speaking to anyone
dal just doesnt want to speak to anyone
ponys a night owl.
they'll tell him to go to sleep and pony will be like "just one more chapter"
but he keeps reading and suddenly the birds are chirping
johnny tried to protest this once back when they shared a room
to say he'll stay awake too unless pony goes to sleep
he fails and ends up falling asleep.
pony gives him a pat on the head and continues to stay awake until the sun shined through the window.
pony then proceeds to sleep the day away
(same)
so i followed through with that whole brothers au and so now i have a one-shot to test-drive the idea. i hope its decent (im not the best writer)
ok so im gonna need all y'all to tell me if you'd be interested in an outsiders fanfic but everyone in the gang is actually related like they all grow up together. like they're the curtis gang cause they're curtises.
i wouldnt change much about them personality wise (or looks) but it'd be an interesting dynamic to explore within them all and how they're relationships would be similar or different if they're LITERAL brothers
