i think i have a hard time sympathizing with darry’s plight as much as some people do, because to me by the standards of the period, he’s not taking on a remarkable amount of responsibility, not in an era (and location) where it wasn’t uncommon to marry your high school sweetheart and start popping out kids a year or two later. yeah, i’m his age and couldn’t keep a cactus alive, much less a pair of teenagers, but darry’s own father had an infant at twenty.......
i think it’d be harder to sympathize with him if having kids/a family of his own was something he was already planning to do. the death of his parents was incredibly sudden and darry— as far as we know— had no intentions of having kids or even being ready for kids. he just wasnt in a position to raise teenagers. he went from a jock sort of guy who was friends with the socs to a 20 year old forced into having two jobs to support his two teenage brothers to keep the state from taking them from him. i think that fear is what makes me sympathize with him, losing his parents so suddenly and then constantly on the verge of having his only family left taken to a boys home. i think his whole situation was sad..he basically had his life turned upside down in the blink of an eye
i agree, because it wasn’t as if he’d had a child of his own. and even if it wasn’t a remarkable amount of responsibility at the time, I think what gets me with darry is the way that he wasn’t able to really grieve the death of his parents because he had to worry about taking care of those boys.

se hinton should have went more in-depth with the socs if she really wanted to get the point across that “things are rough all over” like there’s a reason so many people still don’t like the socs

“He went ahead and washed it anyway, using the bar of soap he’d bought. I was glad I had to runaway with him instead of with Two Bit or Steve or Dally. That would be one thing they’d never think of, soap.” TBT that time pony called his friends nasty and smelly in an essay that he then gave to his teacher
Please give us Shepard headcanons
u guys really are sucking me back into this fandom
• while Curly is generally accepted as the funniest one, Angela is the wittiest. her quick snipes make her notorious for arguments, and she gives most boys a real run for their money.
• Angela also makes the best coffee and sometimes Tim will wake her up to make him a cup when hes craving it.
• Curly went to church with Ponyboy once and (deep down) kind of thought it was interesting. he ended up revisiting once after he got out of reform, left halfway through, and never went back.
• Tim always leaves the comic section of the newspaper by the coffee pot for Curly.
• Dallas’ death drove a deep wedge between Tim and Curly’s relationship. It made Curly want to step away from their lifestyle, but it made Tim really tighten his grip. For Tim, it made him colder, harder. It made Curly open his eyes.
• Angela took Dallas’ death incredibly hard, too, but most people chalked it up to her regular dramatics. Tim was the only other one that knew, but Dallas had bailed Angela out of a number of sketchy situations. He’d always drive her home, cussing up a storm the whole time, swearing to tell Tim what an idiot she was (and he did). Dallas had a knack for being there at the right time, and she’d never thanked him.
• Curly had a phase of cocaine use one summer. He thought Tim didn’t know, but his older brother knew the signs too well to not realize. He sat back, let Curly have his fun, and knew he’d give it up eventually. And if he didn’t, then he’d get busted for possession. Curly ended up giving it up after a mild overdose.
• Angela is the most desperate for love, Curly is the one who finds love first, and Tim’s the one who loses love. He does have two sons, though, and he ends up being a pretty good dad (if u know u know)
(disclaimer: this is... entirely based off of my own headcanons, but that’s like... every shepard post 😔✌️)
i think tim and curly, at least the way i write them, are two sides of the same coin when it comes to their mother’s parentification. it’s pretty well established fanon that tim is the one who actually raised his siblings, and i see him as definitely being forced into a providing role from an early age— he’s taking care of the kids and bringing home the money, while their mom drops the ball and gets high all day. maybe she resents it sometimes, that curly and angela only listen to and respect him, but it’s a way too convenient arrangement for her to push back against. he’s there to be a paycheck, housekeeper, and nanny all in one.
meanwhile curly’s largely insulated from the realities of having to provide for the family, but he’s stuck with another even more fun job— being his mom’s emotional support system. he’s sitting up late at night soothing her, talking her down when she’s on a bender, mediating fights between her and their stepfather or between her and tim/angela. since he’s been her confidante as long as he can remember, he has an intense loyalty to her— she couldn’t take care of herself without him. he’s her therapist and surrogate husband, and while tim’s constantly pissed about her irresponsibility, i think it takes him a long time to even realize how inappropriate her behavior is because of how enmeshed they are.
this... was not good for their socioemotional development 😭
Angela: *comes into the house* Hey fuckhead!
Curly: What?
Tim: Don’t say “what”, Curly, when she comes in calling you a fuckhead

Tim used to be best friends with Darry in elementary and middle school, but Darry got popular in High School and ditched Tim as a best friend. Tim was upset and never forgave Darry for that.

↳ he went on to call curly every unprintable name under the sun—in tim’s way of thinking, terms of affection.

some of you never had an intense homoerotic years-long friendship in your early to mid teens that culminated in a dramatic friend breakup and it shows.
