i open the doc. I look at the doc. I read the doc and think "man I wish the author would update this, i like where it's going". I close the doc. I realize I am the author. I bash my head against the wall.

besties !!!

Ponyboy “I would leave if only I could find a reason” Curtis

And

Sodapop “I got dreams but I can’t make myself believe them” Curtis

And

Darrel “Spend the rest of my life with what could’ve been, and I will die in the house that I grew up in” Curtis

Sodapop Curtis who loves too hard and doesn't get loved hard enough in return.

He has to love too hard because he doesn't, who will?

Sodapop who offers to move into his baby brother's room to help with his nightmares. Not just for Pony's sake, but for Darry's too. so that Darry can get more sleep and go do his job better rested. Sodapop who drops out of the school that made him feel so stupid for years, but not for himself. No, he drops out so that he can help Darry afford the house. He drops out so that Darry doesn't kill himself trying to pay for everything on his own. Sodapop who will come home from working his own long shift and sit down to give his brother a massage so that he doesn't injure himself. Sodapop who needs to be the constant mediator between his brothers. Sodapop who separates them and then listens to them each individually. He'll listen to Darry's vents about work and money and will offer his support. He'll listen to Pony's fears and reassure him that Darry doesn't hate him, but loves him more than anything. Sodapop who doesn't really have that for himself. He's the family's heart and soul.

So, even when Sandy leaves, Soda knows they have bigger things to worry about than his "silly breakup". He refuses to make it a big deal. Because he knows that Darry is worried sick about the hospital bills and how they're going to afford those while also having food and heat for the fall and winter. He knows that Ponyboy is mourning his best friend and is never going to be the same. So, Soda reassures them and comforts them. But he can't do it forever. Some nights he cries. And not his usual, loud sobs. These are silent, heavy tears that fights their way out of his eyes and glide down his face slowly. It's when he's in bed, late at night, usually after he calms Pony down from a nightmare. Then, he lets himself break. And he cries. He cries for Sandy and what she did to him, for Dally and Johnny and all their suffering, for Pony and the pain he's experiencing, for Darry who almost had the life he wanted, for the whole gang who are never gonna be whole again. And he does it alone. Because he doesn't want other people to worry about him. He can handle it himself, they have bigger problems.

Soda, who knows he's loved, but wishes that someone would tell him or show him a little more often.

Grian finds it easier than he'd expect to not out of bed in the morning. Instead of getting up, he spends that time thinking about relationships, the future, and the sunlight, all while curled beside his ally.

“Hi.”

“Hi, you,” Scar replied swiftly, the smile turning to an affectionate, playful grin, “Awfully funny seeing you here.”

“What a coincidence, hm?” He responded, playing along sarcastically.

sodas isolated vocals 🥹😭

in doing fine guys!! (ao3 is down and im losing it.)

ok. I'm about halfway through my first watch of the boot (MY ANGEL GODSENDS FOR THE FOLKS THAT SENT SOME ALONG THANK YOU) n I have some soda related thoughts. I know I've seen a couple posts unhappy with sodas portrayal in the musical n I can definitely. see that. I ain't done yet so I'll probably be circlin back round to this. but I think there's somethin real interestin with the fact that. often. it feels like soda is intentionally choosin the dumbest thing to say. not the actor. the character. leanin into what everyone expects from him. it always feels like there's a brief moment. a pause. a big sloppy grin. n then the intention to live exactly up to his expectations. he's the easy brother. the stupid one. the one no one has to worry about. God the scene where him n pony are layin in bed? there's a brief moment where pony incidentally runs across a deeper part of his brother. 'poor boy in love with a rich girl? poor sonofabitch' 'you know you sometimes say her name in your sleep?' n Soda gets this. deer in the headlights look. like he's said the wrong thing. let on somethin actually gets to him. n he's gotta redirect by reenforcin the 'naw I'm just stupid shtick' (544 fuckin pages!) n he does it so effectively even we as the audience fall for it. ough. anyways.

im fr crying
