Everyone else at Canaan House sees the Ninth and they're like "oh no, shadow cultists, they're so intimidating and intense! Let's be polite/distant/intimidating back to avoid getting involved and/or insulting them!
Palamedes meets them and says "holy shit they're both dumb as rocks I need to adopt them immediately" while Cam is telling him he has to stop bringing home pets.

Things I'm noticing on my reread. Chapters 1-2
Darry was captain of the football team in school
Soda knows how to lift one eye-brow and he learned it from Two-Bit
DARRY APOLOGIZES TO PONYBOY IN CHAPTER ONE
Ponyboy has to put a stupid bandaid on the cut he got bc Darry told him to.
when asked about school at the end of chapter one, Soda redirects to talk about Sandy instead
could be wrong but Dally is waiting to meet Johnny and Pony under a streetlight at the beginning of chapter two, would be kinda cool if it's the same one he dies under
Hinton always avoids going into detail about what Dallas is saying when Ponyboy talks about how good he can swear or how dirty he can talk.
PONYBOY CALLS DALLAS OLD IN CHAPTER TWO D:
Cherry ate with "too bad you can't ride a bull half as well as you can talk it" no crumbs
Cherry apologizes to Ponyboy when he says he's friends with Dallas. I just thought that was funny.
TWICE HE CALLS DALLAS OLD IN CHAPTER TWO
slightly off-topic but a couple times Pony will explain something they do and go "don't ask me why, I don't know why" meaning he knows how shitty some things they do are, but it's just the way that it is, and if he felt like he had a choice, he wouldn't say or do those things.
Two-Bit is good at voice imitations!! I feel like we moved past that one too quick
GUYS CHERRY IS SO FUNNY I LOVE HER SM.
Two bit jokingly goes "who's this? your great aunts?" and Cherry (the GOAT) Valance goes "Great-grandmothers, twice removed" THAT WAS SO FUNNY.
Two-Bit does the eyebrow thing when he's puzzled or confused <3
GUYS THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN TWO-BIT AND THESE GIRLS.
Guys even Two-Bit called Dallas old.
okay but "Mr. Timothy Shepherd and Co." was one of the funniest things Two-Bit ever said.
I feel like the sentence "He sure put things into words good" was bad on purpose. Like Pony you're writing a BOOK wtf are you talking ab
TWO-BIT HAS GREY EYES <3333
It's interesting to me how the Socs attack on Johnny effected him more than a whipping from his father with a two-by-four
Also Dallas looked sick at seeing Johnny all beat up, despite having watched, yunno, murders back in NY
guys off-topic but Cherry is such a girlboss
anyway
Sylvia tried to make a move on Johnny while Dally was in reform school >:(
Chapter two ends with "I know better now." which actually like stabbed me through the heart bc AGH
Lmk if you want more updates and lists like this as I reread. This was only chapter one and two D:

Im rereading the series rn and Im in acowar and something stood out to me.
But there she was.
His mate.
She was nothing like Jesminda. Jesminda had been all laughter and mischief, too wild and free to be contained by the country life that she’d been born into. She had teased him, taunted him—seduced him so thoroughly that he hadn’t wanted anything but her. She’d seen him not as a High Lord’s seventh son, but as a male. Had loved him without question, without hesitation. She had chosen him.
Elain had been … thrown at him.
Jesminda had chosen him
Elain was nothing like jesminda. Elain had been...thrown at him.
I rest my case.

“I don’t remember the Clave inviting you into the Glass City, Magnus Bane.”
“They didn’t,” Magnus said. “Your wards are down.”
“Really?” The Consul’s voice dripped in sarcasm. “I hadn’t noticed.”
Magnus looked concerned. “That’s terrible. Someone should have told you.” He glanced at Luke. “Tell him the wards are down.”

Imagine being 14 years old suddenly grieving the lost of an uncle, one of the two people who raised you, and discovering he was a spy and murdered by a billionaire tech company your government blackmailed you to infiltrate with only eleven days of spy training but NO weapons training because they will sacrifice a child’s life for the Greater Good, going through vivid near-death experiences, sleep in the same bed their uncle slept on before dying, watch several people die grotesquely but god forbid they let a kid use a gun.
Then all you earn is a lackluster backhanded compliment and a doctor’s note to excuse all your absences. Be told to get back to school and wait for a possible next mission while acutely aware MI6 holds your house, entire inheritance, your nanny’s visa, and your choice of ever saying no.

Started rereading the hunger games and in retrospect some of this is so funny with Peeta and Katniss’ relationship it’s like
Peeta: well this blows ☹️ I’m going to die soon but I’m going to tell my crush how I feel about her 🥰 and help her survive and get back to her family! 😊
Katniss: this BITCH 😡 is plotting to kill me! He’s MANIPULATING ME!! I’ll hang with him because Haymitch says so 🙄 but FUCK HIM 🤬 and FUCK THESE COOKIES TOO 🫳🍪🌱🍪☘️🌱🍪
