I Feel Like As A Kid Ponyboy Was One Of Those Kids Who Was ALWAYS Skeptical Of Santa Claus, Even If No-one

Dear Tumblr souls, you beautiful, strange humans—

you laugh through the pain,

you turn sadness into soft, glowing aesthetics,

you post memes in the darkest hours,

and somehow, your hearts remain warm.

When you feel someone is hurting,

you become shelter—an open hand, asking for nothing in return.

I'm not asking for pity, but right now… I need you.

I'm Kareman from Gaza 🇵🇸🌸.

I'm trying to get through what life threw at me—with an open heart ,We were displaced ,There was bombing everywhere—loud, close, terrifying ,We fled with nothing but our lives.😞💔

Our dreams have changed ,We no longer dream of tomorrow— ,our dream today… is simply to eat.

My son, Hamoud🥹, asks me, “Mama, when is dinner?”

And sometimes… I have no answer.

That kind of pain shouldn't exist in a mother's heart😭.

If they ever make another outsiders movie (not a movie musical, just a movie adaptation of the book), I want book accurate actors.

I want them to cast actors that are the actual ages of the characters. I know you can’t do that with a Broadway musical, but you can in a movie.

I want an actual 14-year-old playing Ponyboy. I want an actual 20-year-old playing Darry. Actual 16 or 17 year olds playing Cherry and Bob. Let the audience see how young these kids really are. 14-year-olds look like babies. They sound like babies, as in vocally, 14-year-old boys’ voices sound like they’re going through puberty. Show us this baby getting jumped and drowned and on the run for murder.

“Darry’s not a good guardian.” He’s twenty. “Cherry’s such a bitch.” She’s seventeen. “Soda’s so good looking.” Maybe to other teenagers, but he’s 16. He’s a child. “Sandy and Sylvia are cheaters!” They are 16/17 year old children. “Dally is so tough and cool.” He is a neglected child who’s seen Rebel Without a Cause too many times. So much of the story gets lost when the audience doesn’t realize how young the characters are.

I want a blonde Soda. Out of all the outsiders adaptations, I don’t think we’ve ever actually gotten a blonde Soda. (Maybe some of the musical understudies?). Give us the visual representation of Pony’s view of his brothers - light Soda vs dark Darry.

I want a Dallas who is not attractive. Dallas Winston is not a cool heartthrob, he is a gremlin. When Johnny calls Dally “gallant,” it should seem just a little ridiculous.

In conclusion, the book ages and appearances are there for a reason.

gang am I stupid I dont get the Mark (that was then, this is now) slander I saw Bryon as being in the wrong

do I just not have media literacy?? I dont get some of the mark hate I dont think he did much wrong other than being rude to cathy but also I read the book in segments that were a bit far apart and might need to reread it. the drug thing SEEMED justified and I liked mark

#thatwasthenthisisnow #mark #help

reblogging because not enough people realize that sandy is a teenage girl, only around sixteen years old. similar to sylvia, cheating is bad, but shes objectively A child and we dont have a lot of context as to how or why this happened.

cheating sucks but she also isn't a terrible person for it, she is redeemable. we have very, very little explanation of how and why she cheated, and with whom. im not going to go too deep into this, but there is also the possibility, like with sylvia, that she may have been violated and considering how that topic is treated and the fact that it is the 60s in tulsa, it would make sense for her to have lied or for someone else to.

but if she did actually cheat, shes still just a kid and while I feel awful for sodapop, she isn't a terrible person.

Defending Sandy with my whole soul against the outsiders fandom

so ive learned today that apparently it is not common sense that you can't falsely accuse someone of committing an extremely serious crime against you just because you dont like them

what the fuck

oh my lordy LORD these are my favorite designs ive seen

reblogging because I dont have the storage space to download it </3

I recently just reread the outsiders and decided to draw all the characters based on my interpretation! They’re a mix of both the book and movie. The outsiders is literally my favorite book so I hope I did them justice. <3333

…

I want to keep making art of them so if y’all have any ideas lmk!

currently making several Sylvia designs and I will eventually post the final ones and y'all can pick which one I do (or at least help me decide)

i hate when I call a male celebrity (ralph macchio)(80s) little and then remember I am literally five foot three/160 cm and I can NOT be talkin

why is it that when I search up "evie outsiders" on ao3 I have to search to find any evie/steve (her BOYFRIEND) fanfics without it being friggin angsty OR adding sodapop as an angst factor. dont get me wrong, I love my angst and soda, but for the love of god please just let my girl be happy with her boyfriend

one time I had a dream that matt dillon broke into my house while I was sleeping and just stood in the doorway of my room, turned on the light, and starting reciting the milk commercial without breaking eye contact
