Ok but like imagine if you will: disabled veteran Sodapop and Two-bit becomes a part time caretaker for him... yes...yes..
ok but consider this. horse!pet regressor Ponyboy and handler!Sodapop.
Sodapop brushes Pony's pretty blonde mane and braids it the best he can and feeds him cut up apples from his hand. He gives Ponyboy sponge baths cause he's afraid to be submerged in water. and that's how you groom a horse, anyhow. When Ponyboy gets spooked or triggered Soda just scratches his cheek and whispers all soft til his breathing slows down. Darry can't wrap his head around it, but he plays into it cause he just wants his baby to be ok.
au where darry and soda are adults when their parents die n ponyboy is still a little kid... (hc under the cut)
All of Pony's fifth grade classmates ate lunch with their parents at one time or another. They'd skip to the lunch room holding Mama and Daddy's hands and Ponyboy would bury his face in his tray so no one would see him cry. Snot nosed ten year olds would ask him why his parents never showed up. He didn't know how to tell them that his Mama and Daddy were sleeping under cold dirt.
One night Ponyboy comes home from school, teary eyed and deflated like a birthday balloon that's been kept too long. Soda rushes to help put away his backpack and take off his shoes, (which he was much too old for now, really) and sees his wet ruddy cheeks and scoops him up like he's still a little fawn.
"Pone, what's wrong baby?"
Pony sniffles all pitiful. "All the other kids get to each lunch with their parents. And I-" He wails.
"I have to eat all alone!"
Soda's pretty brows scrunch and he coos and sways his baby side to side. Darry appeared like an answered prayer, leaning over Soda's shoulder to wipe the salty tears from their little brother's cheeks. Darry makes a promise right then that he'll make it to lunch with Ponyboy no matter what.
"I'll be there tomorrow honey, I swear it." Darry says with staunch absolution.
The next day, Ponyboys sitting in the lunchroom on the squeaky little chairs, playing with his green beans and feeling just awful. He glances to the doorway like clockwork every minute, waiting for Darry to show up. Probably five minutes pass, and Pony's heart is smarting fiercely and he's losing hope when the double doors fly open. Darry rushes in, all sweaty and dusty from work, smiling in a way that's reserved only for his brothers. Ponyboy flies out of his seat and shoots to Darry's chest like a bullet.
"Told ya i'd make it." Darry whispered into his slick hair.
The other kids are staring frog -eyed now.
"Is that yer Dad, Pony?" Some yellow haired girl shouts.
He preens pink under his big brother's arm, puffing his chest out. "Yup. Sure is."
ponyboy being the baby per usual. curtis bros 🗣

Original text post/reference pic👇👇👇
Completely forgot to post this, but I had an art project about taking two things you like and combining them, so I ended doing a character lineup of the outsiders! (I said my theme was animation and literature lmao)
I’ll probably do the socs next, but I ain’t exactly itching to draw Bob 😒 (if bob has no haters I’m dead)
I can’t really say I “redesigned” the logo, I just adjusted the current one but what the hell ill put it here anyway
pony and soda would do the trend where they make darry read brainrot words and they put water in their mouths and try not to laugh -aroaceoutsiders
Oh fo shizzle; Darry would NEVER pronounce any of the words right either so it’d just be Darry looking really confused while his brothers are just deceased in the background
Some sketches I did instead of doing my homework
Darry def has this picture framed and hung up in the living room
If “Death’s At My Door” has no fans I’m dead
I think soda should’ve been allowed to be more of a horse girl. As a treat.
Close ups under the cut 👇
Recently reread The Outsiders and saw the musical on Broadway and an old hyperfixation decided to rear its ugly head, so have some Ponyboy and Johnny doodles!

Also for everyone who’s followed me for tf, I promise I haven’t forgotten abt tf I’m just really busy with finals rn 😭
"I wasn't trying to give you charity, Ponyboy. I only wanted to help. I liked you from the start... the way you talked. You're a nice kid, Ponyboy. Do you realize how scarce nice kids are nowadays? Wouldn't you try to help me if you could?"
I would. I'd help her and Randy both, if I could. "Hey," I said suddenly, "can you see the sunset real good from the West Side?"
She blinked, startled, then smiled. "Real good."
"You can see it good from the East Side, too," I said quietly.
"Thanks, Ponyboy." She smiled through her tears. "You dig okay."
She had green eyes. I went on, walking home slowly.
