"I don't care what they said! It doesn't mean shit!" Dallas barks out, desperate and upset at Ponyboy, glaring at him balefully. "They can't take you out of class!"

"They already did," Ponyboy points out to him as they keep walking towards the other end of the school where Angela is. He knows it's not the best thing to point out to Dallas, who's already upset, but well. That's right. "I'm too smart for the regular classes. My parents already know, I'm not going back."

"You're just gonna let it happen?" Dallas scowls, and man. It's almost a little funny how upset he is that Ponyboy is moving up a grade.

Ponyboy offers him his cigarette. Dallas plucks it up with a scowl, Ponyboy grinning a little. "I don't know why you're so mad, Dal. You don't even go to real classes, you just show up to mine." The glare that Dallas levels at him could peel paint for anyone else. Not Ponyboy as he takes the cigarette back. "You ain't the one who's gonna have more homework, I am!"

"That ain't the point," Dallas kicks a rock as they finally get to where the detention classes are. "The point is you're leavin' me! That ain't fuckin' fair."

Ignoring him, Ponyboy crouches down to bang on the basement window. "Angela!"

There's an answering bang, both of the boys pulling back. "Dal, it doesn't matter. You can just follow me to the ninth grade classes. I think the teachers know who you are already, anyhow. No one's ever cared about you following me around before."

Dallas still looks mad as hell — worried as hell, even after Angela finally emerges from the detention building. Her hair is a mess, but her eyes spark up the instant she sees them. "Is it true? You're going to the ninth grade?"

"He's leaving us!"

"Can you quit acting like I'm dying, Dal?!"

💙💜 pretty clouds :)

Haven't had nice clouds in a few days so have Cypher tail wags instead

(I'm wearing a fake moustache over my Halloween costume so you can't tell I've already visited you lol)

hello person sending me an ask who I definitely don't know

have a wip from something I wrote at some point:

‘Hey,’ Dallas says and Pony glances up at him, ‘what’re you drawing?’

Dallas watches Pony pause, and the kid’s ears go a little red. He bites down a grin. There’s a part of him that wants to ask ‘is it me?’ but he bites that down too. It would be too much. It wasn’t like Dallas or anyone in the gang to actually ask Pony what he drew. He wouldn’t have ever thought to ask if he didn’t already know that the kid liked to draw him.

What does genfic and character study mean?

What does Coda mean?

What would count for rare pair? Does that mean ships with less than a certain amount of fics?

Is a crackship a ship pulled out of my ass? (Idk what a crackfic is but thats the vibe i get from them so i assume similar lmfao)

genfic - basically a fic that doesn't primarily focus on romance and is something that could easily be read as just another part of canon or another story in canon.

coda - this has (according to fanlore?) been known as an episode tag. typically it's something someone would write after an episode of a new canon has aired, usually going over what was in the episode or as an epilogue/immediate post canon scene. a coda fic in hintonverse fandom might be like someone reading the end of chapter one and setting a scene there.

rarepair - this fandom is hilariously small so hm.

top five ships are all 500+ (though... the numbers are slightly off but i searched on ao3) so anything in the top five of dallas/johnny, johnny/pony, steve/soda, curly/pony and dallas/pony are officially not a rarepair. tim/dallas, darry/paul are both also incredibly common, as is soda/sandy, two/marcia, and bob/cherry. i would say anything outside of those + canonical pairs would be a rarepair. this is both on the amount of fic and the general popularity of those ships.

I know you deal with eye fatigue and light sensitivity(?) And was wondering if snowy days make that worse? I don't have any major light sensitivities but looking at anything white in sunlight sometimes causes pain.

How do you think Dallas would deal with winter in NY? (Idk if it snows in OK but atleast there he would have some places to stay inside if it does)

hi hi :)

eye fatigue usually only occurs when we’re doing something strenuous with our eyes (straining to see something, reading, visual tasks in general..), and it doesn’t really matter what season it happens in. but the light sensitivity gets worse in the winter because the sunlight reflects off the snow, and it does get really bright when it’s sunlight on white snow shining back directly at you. i mean, sunglasses work just fine, but it also really hurts if you’re not wearing something to protect your eyes. new york winters aren’t really special—it depends on where you are. it snows a lot in some places and not so much in others. you’ll get feet of snow in buffalo or rochester, but if you’re down south a bit more, it’s less.

Ok I'm a boomer (I'm not) but I had to look up what a blorbo was. Must say that I'm still somewhat confused but I think I get it at the same time.

It's basically people adding things about their fave characters as ask/comments/etc under my posts, right?

If that's it. I'm completely fine with it! I post my art online and as long as people treat it/me with respect I want them to enjoy my art however they want.

I remember the first (and maybe only) time someone tagged a piece of mine with two Raven Cycle characters. It was amazing! Just the fact that someone saw my art and thought of those characters and added that in the tags! LOVED IT!

So yeah if you want to add blorbo tags, go for it! I don't check the tags as often as I used to because I don't have time for that anymore but I have nothing against it and I hope to spot one of the tags sometimes soon ;)
