Stay gold, Ponyboy

theo asking buck at a 118 family dinner if ‘dad’ can read his bedtime story tonight because he does better voices. the mood gets a little somber and buck tries to save it by saying ‘hey, but you liked when i read you that story we picked out yesterday, right bud?’ and theo groans and is like ‘nooo, i like it when dad does it!’ and points at eddie. bc dad is what christopher calls him. buck proceeds to choke on his drink and only recovers after eddie thumps him on the back a handful of times (the madneyhenren group chat is on fire for the rest of the night)

i hope tim knows if hes never gonna make it canon we at least want the queerbait girl dont be cutting scenes and plot lines just because theyre queerbaity this is whats keeping us alive tim please feed our brains

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags
