Johnny is quiet, he is the most “law abiding” but he is sixteen years old. He is not the baby to Dally or to the gang. He is treated gentler because of the rough time he has at home and his jumping ONLY A FEW MONTHS from canon. He is a full fledged member and individual.

It particularly upsets me as it not only makes Johnny a child over a teenager but it strips him of his personhood. That he must be protected and parented by a friend who is barely a YEAR older than him— whose whole thing is seeing him as a person. Not a narrative device. Not a representation of anything. His life long friend and fellow teenager.

Oh boy I sure do love when my favorite character commits murder and then dies for the impact

The worst part of The Outsiders fandom is that you're not allowed to have any fun.

I'll make an obviously not serious post and now I'm getting a whole lecture in the reblogs and comments because ya'll can never just take a joke.

As much as I love these characters, they are not real people. I promise you that they don't care I made a dark joke about them.
