A Guy Who Smokes Weed For Chronic Joint Pain Has Found A Dealer That Sells Customers Pre-rolled Blunts,

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

all fandoms walk a notoriously fine line with trauma survivors and i feel like johnny cade is a good example of that. specifically, the often-seen portrayals of traumatized characters in ways that either romanticize their experiences or completely ignore their experiences (the latter of which is often done to favor another character’s journey).

i feel like the outsiders fandom (book, movie, and musical are lumped together here) at times leans heavily into the second one (minimization of trauma). now. i understand the fandom reversal of johnny’s role as being like. Not Innocent (and while i partially agree and think it’s a based take sometimes) i feel like some people do kind of turn him into a character he’s not by instilling a kind of confidence in him that he never had the opportunity to get. people tend to brush past the fact that he is, canonically, by far the quietest of the gang and RARELY talks. he is also, quote, “the gang’s pet.” (while pony IS an unreliable narrator, many of his descriptions of johnny, especially toward the beginning, are just descriptions of his physical reactions to his surroundings as well as past events like johnny getting jumped.)

He gets nervous around strangers. he’s hyper vigilant—two-bit surprises him at the drive-in and he pretty much has a panic attack. he’s 16 and has been borderline homeless for years. he has ptsd from a life of simultaneous abuse and neglect. he’s afraid to take up space because his life is so inconsistent he never knows what his existence will be met with—will it be ignored completely, or will it be met with an unforgiving hand? so he listens, and he watches, and he does hang around dally and the gang, but a big part of who he is comes from his upbringing - he tries as hard as possible to Not be noticed at all, because when he does, it’s bad. i think he would like to be a more confident, “normal” version of himself, but that person isn’t someone who he ever really had a chance to be.

...that implied it could be illegal

what's your favorite legal drug?

I don't have one?

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

rip sodapop and steve, yall would’ve loved being duos in dti and scamming kids for vip 😔

Because Sandy never appears in the book and is only mentioned a handful of times, however significant those few times may be, it’s easy to forget that she was a big part of Soda’s life. She would have been a constant presence not only around him, but the Curtis family and the gang too.

She would have been at the Curtis house all the time; snuggling with Soda on the couch, invited by their parents to stay for dinner. She would bond with Mrs Curtis, who would tell her how much she loved having a girl in the house. Mr Curtis’ shouts of “that bedroom door better be open or I’m takin it off its hinges, Pepsi Cola,” would be a running joke. Darry and Ponyboy would see her all the time - at home, at the DX, at school with Soda and Steve and Evie. At the funeral. Sandy would have been the only regular feminine presence in the Curtis house after their mother died.

After she moves away, how many times does Pony see Soda on the couch and go, “hey, where’s Sand-“ or Darry making dinner, “is Sandy stayin for dinner or-“ before they hurriedly cut themselves off.

Sandy was another constant in all of their lives that was ripped away.
