Okay guys here me out on this one⌠The Curtis gang is very tame compared to other Greasers like the Shepardâs or Brumly outfit, but they keep them around because theyâre lowkey way more interesting. Like theyâve got some flavor (usually neurodivergence/mental illness) to add to the boring copy paste vibe of the rest of the greasers so everybody respects them well enough. Like sure they arenât very wild but they can throw a punch and a backflip whenever.
Rudimentary character summaries to better understand how weird their vibe is:
Ponyâweirdly smart kid who is simultaneously super childish and a gritty true crime lead
Johnnyâscared of his own shadow but has somehow claimed Dallas as his shadow??
Dallasâactually kind of normal but heâs a yankee so heâs funny lol
Darryâborderline Soc who hates all of them but hates his ex more? Mostly just wants his brothers to not die so thatâs cool
Sodapopâoutrageous flirt and is super emotional which cannot be a good combo?? Also somehow got an evil twin!
Steveâheâs just an asshole who is with all these mostly chill guys and became the evil twin of the nicest appearing of them
Two-Bitâliterally could be a menace because heâs got crazy street smarts/skills and is super charismatic, but heâs cool to hang around a 14 year old and stay in high school? I would personally think heâs lowkey a pedophile at first glanceâŚ
Also they all do backflips?? And they have a rhyme? Maybe the Curtis gang is just the greaser cheer team??
TLDR: The greasers have adopted the Curtis brothers and Co as a cheer team because theyâre fucking weird
