#not defending bob bc he obv had a major part in it

[coquettejohnny]

i think its bobs parents fault for his, johnny, and dally's deaths. not darry's, or pony's, or even bob

his parents never told him no or disciplined him, which was why he was drunk out of his mind that night (the park when he drowned pony). he wanted (needed) for someone to tell him no, set limits, etc. him being intoxicated directly led to his death, later johnny and dally would follow; if his parents told him no/disciplined him, he wouldn't have gotten drunk that night and could've prevented his and the other two deaths

reminder this is just my opinion, though. although i'm literally putting the blame on someone in this post, it's everyone's fault. everyone had a part in it

#sorry if i worded this bad #not defending bob bc he obv had a major part in it #but then again everyone did #which just ties back to my point abt it being everyone's fault #the outsiders #bob sheldon #i hate the name bob so much #i know his name is robert but nobody's gonna know who i'm talking about #everyone's fault but also no one's fault #sorry if this is confusing i'm saying like two contradicting things at once help #i guess like: if i WERE to put the blame on someone id put it on bobs parents
