Why Are The Boys At My School Getting WORSE?? Normally Its Just The "my Friend Like You" Which Is Mildly

If they ever make another outsiders movie (not a movie musical, just a movie adaptation of the book), I want book accurate actors.

I want them to cast actors that are the actual ages of the characters. I know you can’t do that with a Broadway musical, but you can in a movie.

I want an actual 14-year-old playing Ponyboy. I want an actual 20-year-old playing Darry. Actual 16 or 17 year olds playing Cherry and Bob. Let the audience see how young these kids really are. 14-year-olds look like babies. They sound like babies, as in vocally, 14-year-old boys’ voices sound like they’re going through puberty. Show us this baby getting jumped and drowned and on the run for murder.

“Darry’s not a good guardian.” He’s twenty. “Cherry’s such a bitch.” She’s seventeen. “Soda’s so good looking.” Maybe to other teenagers, but he’s 16. He’s a child. “Sandy and Sylvia are cheaters!” They are 16/17 year old children. “Dally is so tough and cool.” He is a neglected child who’s seen Rebel Without a Cause too many times. So much of the story gets lost when the audience doesn’t realize how young the characters are.

I want a blonde Soda. Out of all the outsiders adaptations, I don’t think we’ve ever actually gotten a blonde Soda. (Maybe some of the musical understudies?). Give us the visual representation of Pony’s view of his brothers - light Soda vs dark Darry.

I want a Dallas who is not attractive. Dallas Winston is not a cool heartthrob, he is a gremlin. When Johnny calls Dally “gallant,” it should seem just a little ridiculous.

In conclusion, the book ages and appearances are there for a reason.

i felt like this one could've been exaggerated more for practice, but I just dont see ponyboy being the type to naturally have exaggerated facial expressions

sorry this took so long I've been busy

i personally think this one is an improvement im still experimenting with the no eye whites purely because my art style looks too disney ish if I add it and im working on it

it wasn't until I was attempting to draw a horse during yearbook that I realized how good of an artist ponyboy must be in order to just casually be drawing them instead of doing homework instead of crashing out trying

its like the equivalent of me drawing 3/4 view sketches on ALL of my hw but 10x harder HOW??

i may be stupid but I genuinely cannot figure out if curly or angela is older if anyone knows please tell me

i occasionally wonder if more girls would like me if I was a cis guy (still looking the same). I pass pretty well but since most girls I know see me as a girl, that doesn't really matter. The only people that have had crushes on me (what im aware of) were lesbians. And so I wonder, if girls saw me as a guy, would more like me? I'm not interested in a relationship though, just a thought.

TOP FIVE OUTSIDERS CHARACTERS: (idea from kyuru)

Sylvia ("but she didnt even have any scenes!" idgaf I like theorizing)

Curly Shepard

Darry Curtis

Cherry Valance

Steve Randle

update I told my step mom and she js tried to rrecommend an autism diagnosis for getting that excited about it

GUYS we are in CRISIS my legs hurt so much from track jumps and basketball yesterday that I couldn't even kick my feet while watching outsiders musical clips

soo im trying to do theater as my elective and maybeeee try out for the musical too but the thing is, I would really hate to play a girl role but that would likely be my only chance at a role other than a background character because while I can make my talking voice boyish, I can't do that with singing

and by extension ponyboy design reveal :p

i think this is one of my few drawing where I felt I sorta gave the trad sketch justice, im pretty proud of it. I was just experimenting with my style, not sure if I prefer it with or without eye whites.
