2009:A Strider Odyssey

1978 Damien and 1946 Pip hanging out, not dip btw, just drew this for fun (inspired by @/weirdjoann ‘s edit ((z>8D) )

colored + uncolored cause I like them both

I hope this doesn't flop

I’ve seen posts about Darry longing for the days when Ponyboy used to adore him, but what about the other way around?

Ponyboy, convinced that his eldest-brother-turned-guardian hates him now, longs to go back to a time when Darry actually seemed to like having him around. The days when Darry made Pony feel like his special little buddy.

Darry who used to give Pony piggyback rides, even after Pony was probably too big. “Nah, you’re light as a feather. That’s the advantage of bein a little shrimp.” “Am not!”

Darry who would do donuts in the car because it made Soda and Pony feel just like a roller coaster. It was so much more fun than driving with mom or dad. They never did donuts.

Darry who always made Pony feel so smart and talented and confident; who would help him with his homework and high five him for the right answer, who would play football with him and who was grinning ear to ear the first time Pony beat Darry when they raced each other. “We got us a new star athlete in the family!”

Darry who marveled at Pony’s drawings and asked him for a special sketch every year for his birthday, telling Pony it was his favorite birthday present when Pony felt bad about not having money to buy him anything.

Darry who protected Pony from bullies, who told him that the kids who made fun of him for using big words he learned from books were just jealous cuz he’s smart and they’re dumb.

Darry who comforted Pony after he got scolded by their parents. “Mama don’t mean nothin by it, she’s just worried about you is all.”

Darry who always made Pony feel so safe. He’d crawl into Darry’s lap or his bed when he was little and then not so little and Darry would hold him in those strong arms that felt like an impenetrable fortress where nothing could touch him.

Darry who would always come back from grocery shopping for mom with Pony’s favorite candy, who would ruffle his hair and tickle him and play pranks with him and laugh with him………

And now, Darry acts like he can’t stand the sight of him. Darry used to be so proud of him, and now Pony can’t seem to do anything right. Pony used to see Darry as his protector, and now Darry is the one he’s afraid of, who yells at him with that booming voice like the thunder he used to hide from by burying his head in Darry’s chest.

And the worst part is, Pony doesn’t even know what he’s done wrong. He doesn’t know why Darry’s love for him, Darry’s enjoyment of being his big brother, seemingly died with their parents. He doesn’t know at what point Darry will decide he’s enough of a burden and send him away. Everyone says that’s never gonna happen, but Darry sure acts like he wants to.

Pony doesn’t know why he can’t just hate Darry back, why he can’t seem to make himself stop seeing Darry as his hero when it would be so much easier to cast him as the villain; why he can’t get rid of the feeling that all he wants is for his big brother to love him again.

Finding references for drawing Shane has ruined my search history💀

hey guys five tornado warnings and shelter in places and i have produced these headcanons for you (ppl are so fucking stupid omg)

darrel curtis loves tornado season bc he gets the best sleep of his life but when the tornado is actually on the ground he hates it bc steve and pony act like they don’t have the sense god gave a flee

they start panicking and acting dinky

pony: why do we have to go to the cellar it ain’t comin near us can’t we just sit in the tub

steve: well at school they just have us lay in front of the walls with our heads to the ground can’t we do that

pony: no wait dar, i need my books. yes all five what if i finish them and get bored

steve: can’t we just wait five more minutes i wanna see it move

(mandatory disclaimer: if ur looking at a tornado and it’s “not moving” it’s coming towards you)

anyways point being darry hates them both

he threatens to beat the shit out of steve and that gets him moving

but pony’s #stubborn and the youngest so darry has to leave him and walk three feet away from the house before pony starts scrambling bc he doesn’t want to be alone

two-bit and johnny like to sit on the porch and watch the tornado for as long as they can but as soon as darry starts “yeahhhh alright yall” they’re racing to the storm cellar

they’re usually the first ones down there two they Zont play about the storm i swear

once steve convinced dally to go storm chasing and mrs curtis whooped they ass so bad dallas has never watched a storm since

soon has someone says “tornado sposed to be blowin through” he’s immediately walking to the cellar

soda bless his heart is knocked out soon as the first wind touches

someone’s always carried him down to the cellar and 8/10 times it was darry carrying him

a few little doodles I did today :3

Happy New years everyone!!! Hope this year is good!!!
