Someone walk with me here. Johnny, Dally, and Pony as the three main stress responses.
Dally as fight
Pony as flight
Johnny as freeze
All the Curtis brothers have heterochromia
Darry’s is one full eye ice-blue the other ice-blue with a corner of it brown; sectoral heterochromia
Soda’s is one blue one Hazel so much it looks gold; complete heterochromia
Pony’s is green-gray with brown on the inside/in the middle; central heterochromia
(Probably gonna change them later)
Horses!
He and Darry are in a pie-eating contest but the pies turn into chocolate cake and Darry turns into a goat
A wall full of blue ribbons
Ponyboy’s drawings come to life like a television cartoon—they dance and sing and everything!
He’s alone in the house, walking from room to room in search of Darry—he can hear his big brother’s voice, always just behind the next door, but can’t find him.
He owns a horse!
Drag racing with Steve, except the race never ends, and they just keep going and going, windows down, wind in their hair, hearts alive.
Mickey Mouse bites him. He laughs, and bites back.
Ponyboy is blazing, burning up like a 4th of July bonfire. Funny thing is, Soda can’t see it happening—he smells it though, ash so thick it clogs his mouth, choking him. He wants to yell, but there’s too much smoke in his throat.
Soda is alone in the house, walking from room to room in search of Darry. He can’t find his big brother. His big brother is gone.
The room is dark, he’s five years old, and his mother sings while stroking his hair.
Dallas Winston crumples beneath a streetlight. Over and over again, on repeat, but each time the puddle of blood gets bigger, until Soda drowns in it.
He doesn’t have a mouth, it’s gone right off his face. It feels so real that when he wakes, he spends an hour in silence, until he remembers he still has a tongue.
The high school principal and his big, shiny belt-buckle.
Ponyboy and Darry are going at each other with switchblades. Soda tries to intervene. He can’t move. He tries to shout. He has no mouth.
Ponyboy and Darry kill each other in front of him; their bodies laid out, still and cold, on crimson train tracks.
The house is empty. He’s alone in the house. He hears their voices, but he can’t get to them. He’s alone in the house.
He’s alone.
Horses!!
Pony...
