The Outsiders Preferences

Things I Hate/Rants

Part 3

- ummm why is it only Two-Bit or Steve who love chocolate cake? It states in the book that the Curtis brothers LOVE chocolate cake.

- in some imagines/fanfictions for some reason girls are all over Soda at the DX ALL the time. Pony says he doesn't like going to the DX on WEEKENDS cause girls would be flirting with him.

- is Mickey Mouse the only thing on TV?!?!

- Soda is not dumb. Sure, he failed his classes, but that doesn't make him dumb. Everyone is smart in their own way. School just wasn't his thing I guess? People need to stop writing him as a person who doesn't know anything.

- Johnny is a tough person and HE IS NOT INNOCENT. He was left traumatized after that beating and swore he will kill the next person who jumped him. He never walked by himself after that. And yes he became paranoid after that but he's still tough. His father beats him constantly and never cried from that. He can fight well. He KILLED someone. Johnny gets to hear Dallas' dirty talking and admires it. I'm tired of people writing him as a adorable little thing who can do no wrong and a weakling who can't do shit for himself. Johnny has been through a lot. The gang treats him as their brother. He's literally just a shy person.

- When Sandy is written as the biggest bitch in the world *rolls eyes*. Pony said she was a nice girl. She was terrible for hurting Soda but she was a nice girl. Obviously that doesn't excuse her behavior but really? We don't know Soda and Sandy's relationship.

- They can be assholes too yknow?! Pony said Two-Bit, Steve and even Soda could have joined Dallas' dirty talking just so they can embarrass the girls. Even Pony would have joined if they were greaser girls.

- Two-Bit is such an underrated character. He's seen as this funny guy who loves beer, cake and Mickey Mouse🙄. He's such a good friend you guys. First, Two-Bit offered to walk home with Pony the next time he goes to the movies. Well he said any one of them will but that includes him. He payed for Johnny's popcorn. He defended Johnny when Pony snapped at him. And Two-Bit said he'd beat him if he wasn't Soda's younger brother. He stopped some greasers from jumping Cherry. Two-Bit was going to Texas to look for Ponyboy and Johnny! He was super happy when he greeted Ponyboy after he came back from Windrixville, even though it had been 5 days since he last saw him! He knows about Pony's nightmares, and is also concerned about it. He offered to "babysit" Ponyboy. He doesn't clean his house but he cleaned the eggs Pony dropped (idk if that matters). He went to the drugstore to get Johnny a copy of Gone With the Wind. Two-Bit never cries but he was close to tears when he confronted Johnny's mother, and he hates how he has to live with that. He gave Dallas his jet-handled switchblade, even though it's his prized possession. Pony begged Two-Bit not to tell Darry about his fever and he didn't. Well until Pony passed out the night Dallas was killed and he blamed himself for that. Two-Bit told Pony that he didn't want him to get tough like the rest of them. And...he's good at voice imitations! Who doesn't love that?

- This about the movie: I kinda wish the actors' physical attributes matched the book. But at the same time I'd rather have their CHARACTER match the book than their looks. I love the actors anyways. They were all perfect👌🏼

- Why the fuck did they not include the scene where Randy comes over to the Curtis' house? I mean I understand that they didn't add some scenes in fear of the movie being too long, but whyyyyyyyyyy?!?

- Why do people shit on the Outsiders tv show? Sure, it's not as great as the movie, but it's not that bad. I haven't seen the whole thing yet but I'm getting there😩

- STOP WRITING THEM OUT OF CHARACTER. I get triggered

- tHe gUy GrEaSerS wOrE LEatHeR jAckEts sO tHaT MuST mEaN tHe GiRLs GrEAsErS DiD tOo. Hahahahahaha...no. Yeah some did. Look up a picture from a teenage girl in the 60s. They literally all dressed the same. That was an exaggeration but you get the point. Also if your character is going to school, DONT MAKE THEM WEAR JEANS. Teachers from the 60s would have a heart attack.

- I think that's it, I can't think of any more. But can we take a moment to appreciate Darrel as well? I mean he's such a mom and I love him for it. After Pony was jumped, Darry made him put a Band-Aid on a cut. When Pony came home at 2 in the morning, while Darry was yelling at him, he was concerned cause Pony didn't have a coat on. Darry carried Pony home even when Soda sais he was too big to be carried.
