Hey. Reminder that Ponyboy was fourteen (14) when he watched both Johnny and Dally die. Making him the only living greaser who went to the old church. He was fourteen (14) when he was slapped (or thrown, if we’re talking movie) by his brother and fourteen (14) when he ran away. He was fourteen (14) when he watched his friend crumple when protesting a visit from his mom, fourteen (14) when he watched Dallas Winston get shot. Fourteen (14) when he ran into a burning church to save those kids.

Book darry facts!!
He doesn't like films- thinks his life is enough without inspecting other people's.
Looks just like his father but acts the opposite of him.
People had always mistaken him and his dad as brothers instead of father and son.
Darry likes being teased by sodapop.
He was a real popular guy in school. He was captain of the football team, and was voted Boy of the year.
Him and Sodapop wrestle and tickle ponyboy out of bed.
Dally told pony "You ought to see Darry. He's takin this mighty hard" when visiting ponyboy at the church
Darry was the unofficial leader of their gang, since he kept his head best.
Not even Darry wants to tangle with Dally, he was dangerous.
He didn't cry at his parents funeral. Just stuffed his fists into his pockets and wore a helpless, pleading look.
Darry told the reporters Pony is in no shape to be yelled at so much and they slowed down because he's kinda big.
Darry and Sodapop had their pictures taken by reporters too, because they were so good looking.
Darry convinced the nurse to tell him whats Johnny's and Dallys condition.
Darry likes his eggs in a bacon and tomato sandwich.
He drinks black coffee.
Darry was convinced by sodapop and pony to let them eat chocolate cake for breakfast. It didn't take a lot to convince him: he loves chocolate cake as much as his brothers.
They never lock their doors, and when Two-bits mom tried to warn them about burglars, Darry just flexed his muscles so they bulged like oversized baseballs, and drawled that he wasn't afraid of any burglars.
He works two jobs at once and makes good at both of them.
The gang sometimes calls Darry "muscles" or "Superman". (earlier in the book ponyboy mentions his Superman qualities)
Darry had taken Pony to a doctor after his bad nightmares, and even after he stopped dreaming them, Darry would still ask if he dreamed anymore.
Darry sometimes calls Sodapop- PepsiCola, which was his dad's nickname for him.
He called Ponyboy Little buddy after the rumble, which was his nickname for Sodapop.
Darrys stricter with Ponyboy than their parents had been.
"The only thing that keeps Darry from being a Soc is us"
The Curtis brothers all eat like horses- Especially Darry. He had cooked two chickens before the rumble because of this.
Darry started shaving at 13.
Darry never had long hair. His was short and clean all the time.
Darry fights for pride.
Darry had taught the gang acrobatics after he took a course of it at the Y. He spent a whole summer teaching then everything, thinking it'd come in handy in a fight.
"He wasnt to be any hood when he got old. He was going to get somewhere. That's why he's better than the rest of us."
Darrys in better shape than most greasers. "This is partly because they dont eat much and partly because they're slouchy. Darry looked like he could whip anyone there."
Darry and Paul used to buddy it around all the time- Paul was the best half-back on Darrys football team.
"You could see he hated Paul now. It wasn't only jealously- Darry had a right to be jealous; he was ashamed to be on our side, ashamed to be seen with the Brumly boys, Shepards gang, maybe even us."
Darry and Sodaoop had never been beaten in a fight before.
Darry had pulled his armchair into Ponyboys room so he can look over him when he was sick after the rumble.
Darry checks Pony's math homework and catches all his mistakes- then makes him do them again.
Darry, Sodapop and Ponyboy tied when running back to the house- they wanted to stay together.

Dallas just looks so pissed. His damn cancer stick broke, man.
That cigarette disrespected him in the rudest way possible.
"Ahem- bitch."

Imagine telling Darry you want to marry him while drunk
Tumblr media
It was a normal Saturday night for the gang, drinking at the Curtis house after seeing a movie. Two-Bit brought out the drinks at the movie and you started drinking with him. Eventually the movie ended and you all started walking home. Darry and Pony were joking around and eventually Darry somehow got Pony on his back and at that moment you thought about how much you wanted him to marry you.
There was a loud cheer behind you and you saw Soda on Two-Bits back as they ran down the two other brothers and raced down the street.
When they caught up to Pony and Darry, Soda stated a game of chicken and not a single one of them was going to back out from that. The rest of the gang gathered around them cheering for either Pony or Soda. You laughed and Darry gave a quick glance at you before going back against Two-Bit. He pressed Soda and Two-Bit up against a fence and Soda started to lean backwards and flipped himself over the fence.
The Gang let out a chorus of cheers and you went over to check on Soda (who was completely fine).
Darry walked with you under his arm the rest of the way home, Pony and Soda walking in front of you two.
"Lovebirds." Steve said coming beside you two, "Y'all got any beer at the house?"
"Not enough for the lot of you." You reply.
"Good thing I always bring extra." Two-Bit said coming beside you two. "Try this (y/n)."
You swallow down the flask with a grimace, not only does it taste awful but it's disgusting, you pass it to Darry who takes one wiff of it and hands it back to his friend.
"Disgusting." You say, "What is that?"
"The quickest way to get drunk." Two-Bit says swallowing down another gulp.
He wasn't lying, by the time you had all gotten to the house you were very giggly and so was half the gang.
Darry kept you within arms reach but with you floating around everyone so much he just decided to sit you in his lap.
You giggled and looked at his face playing with his hair, he couldn't help but smile at your antics.
"What's so funny?" He asked after a minute of you just starring and laughing.
"You're so pretty!" You say, "Like so pretty."
Pony and Johnny laugh in the couch at you two.
"He is!" You defend. "Listen kids this is why you don't drink! Ok? Just so don't, cause then you'll look at Darrel Shaynne Curtis Jr. the whole night cause he's so so pretty."
"Babydoll." Darry says laughing, "I think you need sleep."
"No." You gasp out and then fall to his chest. "I don't think so."
Darrys hand on your waist gently rubs circles on with his thumb against your skin.
"Is Soda ok?" You ask. "And Two-Bit?"
"Yes Dear." Darry says, "Theyre trying to sleep in the kitchen right now."
You go to sit up and look at the sleepy boys in the kitchen.
"I'll get them blankets." You say getting up.
"No it's alright (y/n)," Johnny says getting up, "We can get them."
"You're so sweet Johnny." You say, "I wish we could keep you here all the time."
He blushes and hurries to the closet where the blankets are kept.
"You have the sweetest people in your life." You say to Darry, "It's hard not to love any of them."
"I know." Darry says pressing a kiss on your forehead.
"Like you're doing so good with them, Pony's so smart and the rest of the gang loves you so so much."
Darry pulls you closer to him and you ret your head under his chin.
"I really wanna marry you." You slur out, "Can we get married?"
Your glazed eyes look up at him like a dog begging for table scraps, Darry chuckled and presses a kiss to your forehead as Pony and Johnny come back in.
"Thank you so very sweet boys." You say giggling. "I am so proud of you two."
Pony and Johnny both are now sporting red faces as you continue to compliment them. Dally and Steve come in from outside and you gasp and wave at them both.
"Hi!" You gasp out, "I'm so happy you guys are here!"
"How drunk are they?" Dally asks with a grin.
"Sooooo drunk!" You say laughing, "But like I think you guys should all stay forever and we could all like out our checks into like living together and it would be so fun."
Darry presses his face into your hair and laughs quietly.
"Steve!" You say, "Darry won't answer a super important question for me."
"Dude." Says a slightly drunk Steve, "That's such a drag."
"I know!" You say.
"What's the question?" Dally asks.
"I asked," you say giggling, "if we could get hitched and he laughed!"
Dally starts laughing too and so does Steve.
"Come on," Darry says picking you up bridal style. "Time to hit the sack."
"Night night boys!" You call waving to them as Darry takes you to his room, he throws you in the bed and you giggled taking off your shoes and jeans. Darry throws you a nightgown as he takes off his jeans.
You stare and giggle, when he turns back around you've managed to get everything off just not get the nightgown on.
"You have the cutest butt!" You say laughing. "Literally my favorite butt in the whole world."
"Good," Darry says, he comes over and helps you out the nightgown on before joining you under the covers.
Darry joins you under the covers, you continue to giggle a little even as your eyes feel heavy.
"So..." You mumble out "Are you gonna answer me?" You ask.
"(y/n)," Darry says pressing a kiss to your cheek, "Babydoll," he says pressing another to your forehead. "I thought you knew by now that I'm gonna marry you someday."
"Yay," you say sleepily into his chest. "I can't wait.."
"Me either." Darry says as you fall asleep against his chest.

i will never stop talking about my favorite change in the bway outsiders which is dally taking on a big brother role in ponyboy's life, ponyboy and johnny are dally's little brothers and he's such a role model for them, and is such a mother hen over the two of them and is just so protective over them, it just fits dally into ponyboy's life so well, and makes it 10x more heartbreaking when dally dies
joshua boone you are THE dally ever
