unpopular opinion that “The Outsiders Musical” (2023) takes inspiration from “The Outsiders Play” (1990) by Christopher Sergel which were both adapted from S.E. Hinton’s 1967 The Outsiders novel.

I suddenly feel compelled to talk more about this (ty @qprpbj for this)

the CURTIS gang is only the curtis gang bc it’s sodapop CURTIS’ gang. It’s not Darry’s, because Darry isn’t in the gang. Sure he goes to rumbles, and hangs out with all of them but part of that is because 1. It’s his brothers friends and 2. he’s a greaser, what else can he do? It’s stated in the book and confirmed by S.E Hinton that Darry isn’t in the gang at all, nor does he want to be. He didn’t “go soc” in highschool, he just hung out with socs. Even if he was a greaser, he didn’t wear that title with pride. Soda fully embraced the title, wore it right next to his heart on his sleeve. I would bet money that the gang wasn’t even like, a thing until Soda kinda looked around at his friends and went huh. we’re kind of like a gang. and everyone ran with it. It’s also Soda’s gang because everything circles back to the kid. For example, I don’t think Steve would’ve voluntarily hung out with the rest of the group had it not been for Soda. Neither would Ponyboy. I also like to think that everyone met Johnny through Soda, even if it’s Ponyboy he’s closest with. I just have a feeling they were in the same class along with Steve. Not entirely sure how Dally got there, but it was probably Soda. Soda honestly could’ve just seen a kid his age chilling by himself and invited him over for dinner bc his mom makes GREAT spaghetti. Two-bit was just a neighbourhood kid Darry used to hang out with until high-school, where he got different friends and such, but Two-bit was still around and ended up mixed in with the group, not that he’s complaining. I don’t think they ever made themselves known as a gang but that’s how others saw them anyways. “it’s the curtis gang” “who’s gonna be at the rumble?” “the curtis gang” “that kids from the curtis gang.”

idk if this makes any sense but thank you for coming to my ted talk.

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.

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
