we already got mark so i’m curious abt curly’s reaction to randyboy. in a randyboy scenario i like mark and curly thinking of ponyboy as the one that got away idk i’m sometimes a sucker for unrequited teenage love
aw that's a cute idea! i like that a lot. i love unrequited ships and ponyboy is everybody's type for real. if you ever took a stab at writing a fic, i'd definitely read it!
personally, i can't see curly as the pining type necessarily? not in an angsty way, i could see him framing it like "i totally could've hit that but he went soc on us 🙄😒" you know what i mean? like assuming of course pony would've been all over him. totally.
also, mark... he's not not into ponyboy but i see it as like... speaking of unrequited, mark is so into bryon that he'd dump pony's ass immediately if bryon even so much as hinted at being bi-curious. (sorry pony!) like i generally think mark would be pony's first bad relationship.
but by all means i'd love to hear more of your interpretation!
