Anyone like the idea of a pirate outsiders au?

These are my designs if I were to go through with the idea… I will be coloring them eventually if I get the motivation, or if people like them enough.

I showed them to my dad, he said they all looked depressed and not tough enough like pirates 😭

you wanna know what else he is. a cool character thats got a lot to him that gets left up to interpretation.

we only see what dally is like from ponyboy's perspective but he describes him from a sense of that he's similar to a brother whilst is also slightly intimidated by him, but also is trying to remember him and help other people remember him.

dally was described as being cold and mean (?) but we don't really know why that happened. maybe it happened before he went to tulsa or when he was in new york and got involved in the murder wrap or when he got to tulsa or when he was 10 and getting out of jail. we don't know what background he comes from other than likely neglect and lack of support, like how he said "my old man don't give a hang whether I'm in jail or dead in a car wreck" and I dont remember the rest of the quote. maybe the lack of support indirectly affected him and made him into the cold person he was in the outsiders. the only time that dally was really sort of emotional was when johnny suggested turning himself into jail. he doesn't want johnny to turn into him, doesn't want the skittish kid to turn into a person whos unloving to the world.

he sees ponyboy and johnny like family/brothers/somethingthatsfamilialwhoevenknowsatthispoint, especially johnny. the second he's dead, dally just runs out. he doesn't seem to fully process it nor accept it, and it seems like he ran through a lot of denial. nobody knows what he was thinking in that moment, and likely nobody ever will. i like when writers write what they think he was doing in between the time when he left the hospital and died, because it was hours or something, but it was a long time.
