What kills me is the fact that holden will not shut up around literally anyone else but with ackley itβs like he doesnβt think talking is fun anymore. like all of a sudden heβs learned the definition of the word brief.

I actually feel for ackley like this poor kid didnβt have communication skills and couldnβt get along so he hated everyone but tolerated holden because he always invited him out. I think he thought of holden as his only friend but itβs clear this relationship was NOT mutual holden hated him and just felt bad
Headcanons that I randomly formed abt citr that are probably not supported by anything in text but I still believe anyways:
Sally is a girlboss. Idk why she just is 2 me
Ackley is/would be a BIGGGGG ass incel idk just..the vibe
Holden *used* to be a *tiny, tinyyyyy* bit of an incel..
Bro I was rereading The Catcher in the Rye and Ackley's mentality is kinda parallel to Holden? Like in the sense that it *seems* like Ackley don't give a damn abt anybody and if it wasn't written from Holden's pov, Holden probably would too. But even then, we see a little that Ackley does care after Holden and Stradlater fight, he gets excited when Holden says that Stradlater said somethin about him.
I just wonder if Ackley is supposed to represent how Holden would react to himself or to show how Holden how some people would perceive himself without knowing his story. Or just a cautionary tale yk?

Ackley x Sally idk why just...yea they cute :3
Edit: just realized I got the meme wrong on the first picture...oh well I guess Ackley likes pickles now lol
Also I just think it's funny that Ackley is catholic and talks about supposedly fucking girls? Like I'm not religious so I apologize if this is assuming but isn't sex before marriage like bad in most religions? Idk I just think it's funny that despite being catholic he still brags about having sex with girls(even if everybody knows it's a lie) idk maybe he just doesn't have religious guilt or somethin or just wants to seem cool
Also in chapter 7 I believe when Holden goes over and lies about the fight saying that it was about Ackley and Stradlater said he got a lousy personality he cared more about that than Holden supposedly defending him? Like he got excited n shit asking if he really did. Idk it just gives off vibes of "ughh I hate him so much but omg he noticed me" idk maybe I'm looking too deep but ye
