I’ve read fanfics since 2018 and have everyday since then they’re is no more creativity at all and I’m scared for it I want to encourage people to start writing more and and if you want to start but scared just do it they will get better I promise and the people who used to make fics pick it back up again if you want to I really hope people will see this post and boost it please we need to bring attention to it I can’t be the only one who thinks it it’s all just smut and no story anymore

I don’t want to complain, but this picture took a whole week. I wanted to add more characters, but in the end it was a battle with my patience, to be honest.

Dis about you Ponyboy?

More musical fanart cause it deserves the best 😭💞

the curtis brothers, who feel things differently, but love each other all the same

Guys I don't think you understand how often I think about this line from when Pony is explaining why they leave their door unlocked at night, if only because its so...almost out of place? It makes sense for Dally and Steve and Johnny to crash on the Curtis' couch, but Tim Shepard? Even Pony notes its odd. I just think about it. What was Tim doing so far from his own turf? What happened that he was desperate enough to crash at the curtis'? How did he know their door would be unlocked? Maybe Dally had let it slip once when they were hanging out, who knows. Were Angela and Curly worried about him? Why'd he bother to read the paper but not stay for breakfast? I get not wanting to intrude further or take food from the Curtis' when he knows they're struggling- but why the paper? Was he looking for something, wondering if a crime he'd committed was reported? Was it a way to calm himself down? Then there's the obvious parallel to Darry- Tim is sitting in Darry's armchair, reading Darry's paper, a setting and behaviour used over and over in the book to signify responsibility and male authority- but in this moment, far from his own turf, Tim is far from authoritative and more a wounded animal. From the way the passage is phrased it sounds like maybe Pony was the first one up and no one else saw Tim that morning, but perhaps he'd appeared sometime after Pony went to bed but maybe before Soda or Darry did, which opens up a whole other line of questioning. What was Tim there to do/talk/about sort out with Darry and Soda? Maybe he was JUST there to see Darry. We know those two are on friendly terms- maybe friendlier terms than Pony as the narrator or Tulsa as a whole is aware of. Maybe TIm being there wasn't for some dark reason and instead because he accidentally spent the night when he and Darry were 'hanging out' (Tarry nation I see you and I know why you ship them). That said, in that scenario he probably wouldn't be spending the night on the couch. Then again, Pony only thinks he slept on the couch- canonically we only see him in the armchair, we don't actually know where he slept. Maybe it had nothing to do with Darry. Maybe Tim got tossed out the way Steve usually does and his usual haunts wouldn't take him in for the night. Maybe he was on the run. Maybe he was trying to lie low. We don't know WE WILL NEVER KNOW and it kills me I'm so curious, I've been curious for years, WHAT WAS HE DOING THAT NIGHT, WHY DID HE CRASH THERE did it ever happen before or since and he was just sneakier about it I DON'T KNOW

(also, kind of unrelated but this specific instance might be a contributing factor as to why Ponyboy 'doesn't care too much for girls' because of this interaction with a 'cute girl' and his own negative self image that she perpetuated)
