The Outsiders Preferences

Rants

(Pilot episode of The Outsiders tv show☝🏼)
Okay, I need to let my anger out about what I hate about what people mention in the Outsiders fanfictions, imagines, etc. I enjoy reading them, but just thinking about how the gang really is compared to the fanfictions just anger me. I know it your guy's fanfictions. I respect that, but it just bugs me.

- The fact that everyone says (not everyone) that Darry starts to be an abusive person. He only hit Pony once! Once! That doesn't mean that Darry starts to abuse him. He felt sorry to have hit Pony. His anger just let it all out causing to hit him. Come on you would be able to do that! Especially if you are the oldest sibling. They have misunderstandings which leads to Darry to yelling at him. That's it!

- In a lot of imagines that I have read there's always an imagine in which they break up over the same stuff. The girlfriend breaks up with Soda because a lot of girls are flirting with him or because Sandy came back. The girlfriend breaks up with Two-Bit because he's always drinking. The girlfriend breaks up with Darry because he's too busy caring for his brothers and work. The girlfriend always breaks up with Dally because he cheated. The girlfriend breaks up with Pony because he's ignoring her or because he cheats on her with Cherry.

- I don't know about you guys, but some nicknames bother me. And I don't mean 'Sodapop = Soda' or 'Darrel = Darry' or- well you get the point. I mean like Two-Bit's nickname people put. 'Two-Bit = Two?' Okay it just bugs me. Some other thing is Johnny's nickname. It's Johnnycake. In a lot of fanfictions people say, 'Johnnycakes' with an 's'. I don't think, in the whole book, there was ever a 'Johnnycake' with an 's'. Same thing goes with Pony's. 'Pony = Pone' I don't know. You guys do what you want. I'm just saying.

- That everyone makes Cherry the reason for a breakup! Stop it. She's a decent, nice girl. Socs want to keep their reputations guys, basically that's what they have to do I guess.

- People say they hate Sandy, just because she cheated on Soda. Yeah, it was wrong of her to do that, to leave Soda heartbroken. He really did love her. But everyone then labels her bad! What I mean is that in fan fictions she's a total bitch. She wasn't mentioned much in the book. It just said she was Soda's girlfriend and that she didn't live in a decent home and she was nice, but then moved to Florida with her grandmother, so we don't know much about her. People get mad just because she cheated on him when you don't truly know her in the book. She just doesn't love Soda anymore. Doesn't mean you should cheat Sandy!

- Sylvia. Yes, she cheated on Dally a few times. Haven't you realized that Dally said that she was two-timing him 'again'. Which really meant he gave her a second or third chance or whatever. We don't know much about her other than she cheated on him. So we don't know how she acts. She may be a slut which doesn't mean that she's a bitch. Well maybe, but you never know!

- In almost every fanfiction, Dally is a cheating boyfriend. Or a sex-starving human being. I have a feeling that Dally will be a boyfriend who really will care. In the book it stated it would be a miracle if Dally fell in love with anything. Yes, he did love Johnny, but that was the only thing, so it's least likely for Dally to love his girlfriend. He will like her a lot but- I don't know, Dally is complicated😩

- Okay another thing is Gone With The Wind. That's all people say. What does Pony want to read? Gone With The Wind. What is his English project gonna be about? Gone With The Wind. What book does he wanna recommend? Gone With The Wind. Just makes me hate it just looking at it. It's one of Pony's favorite books. I don't know if you guys have watched The Outsiders TV Show, but it stated that Pony likes To Kill A Mocking Bird too.

- All Two-Bit does is watch Mickey! Yes, he loves watching Mickey. It's just so annoying! In fanfictions, that's all he does, that's what annoys me.

- This is not something that bugs me much. The girl is identical in personality to her boyfriend. Darry's girlfriend is hardworking woman. Johnny's girlfriend's parents abuse her. Pony's girlfriend loves to read and watch movies. Steve's girlfriend loves cars. Two-Bit's girlfriend loves Mickey. Dally's girlfriend is a party animal. We need something different!

- Something that bores me. When one of the guys and the girl first meet. They meet at the same places.
   Soda - DX
   Pony - School
   Johnny - The Lot
   Darry - When he's working on her roof
   Steve - DX
   Dally - Buck's
   Two-Bit - The movies
In rarities, they meet at different places. They just use these too often.

- Buck's house. It's a house, not a hotel. There's a bar, but it's still a house. There are extra rooms for people to do what they want. But there are not a hundred rooms in there! So stop making it sound like everyone in town lives there!

- Just wanna make it clear. Dally just doesn't sleep at Buck's or in the Curtis' house. The book said he lived anywhere so he can sleep anywhere. Even your house! *gasp* Lock everything! Just kidding. I believe he has to know you first.

- People use 'man' too much, especially on Dally. He doesn't say 'man' that many times. Don't make him say 'man' in every sentence he says!

- Saying Darry smokes. No! He! Does! Not! Smoke! I have proof

- This one's not a big deal but saying Darry and Dally having their hair greased. I know they don't grease their hair. Read the book!

- For some reason, I freak out when someone makes themselves a Curtis sister. Doesn't Darry have enough to deal with! It's okay to make yourself a Randle, Mathews, or Cade. Well it's okay to make yourself anything. But a Curtis sister makes me uncomfortable. Same with a Winston sister.

- Dally, Two-Bit and Tim (if Tim is in a fanfiction) always cry. All three of them never cry. You understand? They never cry. The book says they forgot how to cry because they toughened up.

- Look I try to make my writing as accurate as possible. For example my Outsiders fan fiction, Rough Breaks. I try to make the place and time and slang as accurate as I can. I have researched about the 60s and blah blah blah but then I see these other stories where it bothers me so much because of what the main character wears. Crop tops, mini skirts, or blue jeans and leather jacket etc. I found out that there was a strict dress code especially in schools. Girls were expected to wear skirts up to their knees and no higher. And while you're out with your girlfriends you can wear skirts a little bit shorter. No jeans or shorts for girls. You didn't see girls often wearing jeans. Tomboys were basically frowned upon like you barely see them I guess? Fun Fact: S.E Hinton was a tomboy

- This one just pisses me off. And it's how the girl always gets jumped. Always. Pretty sure people didn't jump girls. Come on, guys can still be a gentleman at times and wouldn't jump a girl. Remember in the book it said they would only make fun of a girl who passes by? Don't know how more clear I can get

- This has nothing to do with the fanfictions, but with the Outsiders fandom itself. I love the movie to death, but also the book. I could've related to the story and that brought me to tears. But when I hear fans yell how much they love the gang in the movie, but only the movie, I gag. I mean, you only love the actors, so stop. I love the actors too, but that's not what I'm mostly obsessed about. (Matt Dillon💜. I have watched a lot of movies with Matt Dillon. I love him!) Ever since The Outsiders, I had a lot of interest in the 60's. It made me want to desperately live in that era. Another thing is when people in the fandom say that they wished they lived in the 80's. What? The movie was made in the 80's but it takes place in the 60's (The 80's is awesome too). I don't know why. You like what you like so we can be happy.

Okay, I think that's it. Don't hate me. This is just my opinion. You guys do whatever you want. It's your writing and I respect that.

P.S. You guys should try to watch The Outsiders TV Show, if you haven't. I love it. It literally has a lot of answers. It occurs after Johnny and Dally died. Tim Shepard will be there often. So will Cherry. And a character named Scout. It even explains, sort of, the whole Sandy thing. All the episodes are on YouTube, by this person called SammyC09. And the actors are pretty cute as well. There are only 12 episodes and the pilot episode. So watch the pilot episode first!
