Pony...

Darry is such a 20-year-old boy. The fandom views him as this middle aged dad, but he is very much a 20-year-old big brother supervising his younger brothers while he himself is left unsupervised. He’s the embodiment of that quote “in my defense I was also left unsupervised.”

He eats chocolate cake for breakfast and lets his brothers do the same. He tells his brothers not to do anything that would land them in a boys home, but he fights in rumbles, lets them fight, hangs out with criminals, is ready to hide Dally from the cops, etc, because gang code and greaser code is sacrosanct in that ride-or-die, ritualized, romanticised way your social structure is at that age. (Also because that’s the only support system they have.) He has a rivalry with his high school best friend that they’re both still really hung up on. He shows off by flexing his muscles.

Darry Curtis is a hormonal, adolescent, barely-not-a-teenager who should absolutely not be solely responsible for his brothers.

i feel like it’s very important to mention that we don’t see johnny before he was jumped. like we don’t see how he was before, we just see the aftermath.

i see lots of ppl saying that pony describing his as ‘the gangs pet’ and ‘a kicked puppy’ is pony’s unreliable narration and maybe it is! but also. that might be who he is now in the aftermath of that brutal jumping. we don’t see him before that jumping that violence that traumatizing change

its disgusting how much i need him

Dallas Valentine's day drawing. I don't really ship him with anyone so he doesn't get a Valentine lol

Anyways, happy Valentine's Day everyone! 💘

Pony has a serious case of 'the invisible camera' anytime someone pisses him off he IS lookin at the the corner of the room like

rant lmao

what pisses me off about dallas haters is that they (rightfully ofc) call him out on harassing cherry and obviously thats fucked of him to do. but they all forget that pony says that he would join in as well if cherry had been a greaser. he also says that steve, soda, & two-bit might have joined in too. so why aren't we calling the others out? like idk it js pmo. like ik dallas was the one doing it but pony admitting he'd join in on harassing girls if they were greasers too is fucked. let's stop the double standards pls, if ur gonna call one of them out call all of them out. also here are my quotes bc i dont like not providing proof bc i dont pull things out of my ass.

"Two-Bit or Steve or even Soda would have gone right along with him, just to see if they could embarrass the girls..." (page 20-21)

"I wouldn't have felt so embarrassed if they had been greasy girls – I might even have helped old Dallas. But those two girls weren't our kind." (page 21)

okai bye !!
