[alittlebitofloveliness]

Darry Curtis hc because this day is shit and he's my comfort character

-Does that thing where he kind of dances/shimmies to music unconsciously. Steve made fun of him for it once, and ever since Darry’s tried to tone it down, but never really succeeds. (Steve never bugged him about it again because Sodapop got so mad at him for it)

-Doesn’t laugh often but when he does it’s the kind of laugh that’s completely contagious. Surprisingly Ponyboy’s sarcasm and Johnny’s dry quips end up making him laugh more than any of the rest of the gang’s bawdy or situational humour

-Makes the best scalloped potatoes known to man. Both Soda and Ponyboy practically beg him to make them for their birthdays or special occasions

-Ponyboy went with him to the gym once after windrixville when they were trying to find an activity to bond over and it ended with Ponyboy attempting to keep up with him and Darry having to practically carry him to the car. They decided Darry would teach Pony to drive as a bonding activity instead

-Was up for a promotion to foreman at his job that would have had a decent pay raise and didn’t tell Soda or Ponyboy about it. He made it to the final round of interviews but ultimately didn’t get it and was SUPER crushed. (Same Darry, same)

-His eye twitches when he’s pissed off but trying not to show it

-Sometimes when Ponyboy is out with friends or goes to bed early, Darry and Soda will have a mini conference where they discuss whether they think he’s doing ok because Darry is terrified of messing Pony up and needs the reassurance he’s doing a good job as guardian

-Taught Pony to shave and it was actually a really emotional time for him because their dad had taught both him and Soda how but wasn’t there to teach Ponyboy. It hurt even more because Ponyboy was so excited about the fact he finally HAD enough facial hair to need to shave and Darry was kind of punched in the chest remembering that Ponyboy is only fourteen, and that he’d had so much less time with their parents than he himself had.

-Doesn’t talk about the gang or his brothers at work. Not because he’s ashamed of being greasy or anything (a lot of guys on his work crew are east side guys) but because work is his only escape from being a leader/grown up and having to take care of everyone. In fact, he’s one of the youngest full time guys on the crew, and because of that he gets a lot of ‘shut up and listen to your elders’ kind of jokes from the guys in their thirties and forties, which he finds ironically funny on good days, and gets lowkey pissed off about on bad ones

-Has skipped meals when money is tight so that his brothers have enough food

-Didn’t regret fighting Paul at the rumble even though they’d been good friends in high school, because after the Curtis parents died Paul told him to let Pony and Soda go into care and to look out for himself and not ‘kids who aren’t your problem Darry’ and Darry never forgave him for it

-The gang and his brothers think he doesn’t have time for girls, and he doesn’t, not really, but he goes to the same diner during his lunch break each day to flirt with one of the waitresses there- a girl he went to high school with who was also meant for bigger things but got stuck in Tulsa just like him.     (listen I’m multiship trash who also has a soft spot for tarry but this idea lives rent free in my head ok)

-His way of dealing with issues when he’s unsure is to just ask himself what his dad would do and if he doesn’t know what his dad would do he panics

-Is TERRIFIED of the dentist and so its the only thing he’s kind of lax about with Pony and Soda because he refuses to be a hypocrite and not go when he makes them go, but also…he’s terrified

Everyone always talks about how tough and cold and mean The Outsiders characters are. Everyone will discuss the crimes they've committed and the things they've stolen a thousand times over, but we never get enough of the soft stuff. Soda laying his head on Darry's lap to fall asleep? Darry calling Ponyboy "honey"?? Soda calling him "baby"??? We don't talk about these parts of the book enough.

[c0cktail-dumbass]

Random ass headcanons for the Outsiders

(Angst Warning lmao)

Ponyboy Curtis

-Eventually had to quit smoking because he got bronchitis from it, that lead to him having to quit track n' feild

-He kept that note from Johnny for the rest of his life, at one point he cut out Johnny's signature and put the paper in a locket necklace

-For a long time Dallas' last word being "Pony" made him cry whenever he remembered it (Ik this is only movie canon but I just love it"

-He hung out at the empty lot a ton more after everything because it somehow made him feel closer to Johnny and Dally

-Has accidentally called Darry "Dad" more

-He can speak french almost fluently

Johnny Cade

-He hated when people compared him to a puppy because he was a cat person and dogs legit scared him

-He actually really wanted to tell Ponyboy that he loved him in his last words (That doesn't have to be romantically, I think it's more platonic but at the same time to each their own)

-The note Johnny had written to Ponyboy and left in the book was written in purple crayon, he wanted it to be red since that's Ponyboy's favourite colour but the nurse didn't have any red crayons

-The doctor who was keeping Mrs. Cade back and the nurse who told Johnny his mom was there were both "Considering calling CPS on that crazy lady if that kid survives,"

Dallas Winston

-When Dallas said "Pony..." right before he died, he was trying to tell him to stay alive. In a "Dont be like me" sense

-He was actually a really good boyfriend to Sylvia, almost to simping degrees, he doesn't get a lot of affection so he was starved for whatever Sylvia was giving him. It was totally toxic for him, and Johnny was always worried about it

-His skull ring was stolen from a thrift store, he stole it when he was 12

-Drunk cryer

Two-Bit Matthews

-His dad was italian-american

-His mom is actually from Canada, she moved to Olkahoma with her parents when she was in highschool, making Two-Bit Canadian but not a Canadian citizen

-He played a lot of hockey and baseball up until he turned 12

-Sometimes he gets super drunk and starts flirting with any of the greasers except for Ponyboy because; "If I'm going to jail it's not gonna be for charges of pedophilia."

Sodapop Curtis

-Definitely had Steve help him write the note to Ponyboy because his handwriting is barely legible.

-He's dyslexic.

-When Ponyboy had run off with Johnny he actually tried to confide in Sandy, but she couldn't stand to talk to him except over the phone so the only person Soda trusted to talk to was Steve

-Soda is a terrible cook

-When Soda is sitting down with Darry and Ponyboy before he ran out he was trying to discreetly cover his ears, and if Pony and Darry were paying attention to anything other than their own fighting they'd see Soda's about-to-cry eyes

-Can't fix a car to save his life, at least not like Steve can. He can door minor stuff but that's it.

-His first kiss was Steve by complete accident, the two were quite literally butting heads in the 6th grade. Nobody knows except them and they had this whole oath to never tell anybody

Steve Randle

-His parents split up, he has a step-dad and a step-mom and his bio parents are still on good terms. They aren't even legally divorced because neither of them could afford it

-He's actually pretty good friends with Buck like Dallas is because Buck brings his T-Bird to the DX whenever he needs something done with it, Buck is Steve's best-paying customer

-Steve's favourite pass-time is throwing glass bottles at Soc cars and ditching

-Steve favours his step-dad to his step-mom because he thinks his step-mom is taking advantage of his dad

-He actually has a step-sister but she's like 22 and in college

Darry Curtis

-Darry does indeed cry when Ponyboy calls him dad

-He genuinely had panic attacks before going to bed the whole week Ponyboy was gone

-Man has anxiety problems but wasn't actually diagnosed until the late 80's when he finally stopped being an "I don't need any help" man and decided to go to therapy... in his forties.

-Darry fucking loves dogs

-He would carry Johnny around like a doll if he needed to (if Johnny was in his way or needed to be pulled away from something)

Small rant-ish post [might delete later].

Guys, listen. I've been seventeen for a little while and I've been thinking about this for quite some time. Dallas was my age when he died. Seventeen. He was seventeen when he died. He was so young. He'd've still been in high school as a senior. He barely lived 1/4 of his life. The rest had vanished as soon as those bullets took him away. It just...it really makes you think. It really puts in perspective at how most people don't cherish life. Like, I'm going to graduate next year. Dally never finished high school. He never experienced great things. He had a very hard life, and died super young, exactly the way most people (including Ponyboy) knew how he'd go. Yes, Ik Johnny died at a slightly younger age (16), but I've outlived him, and I'm going to outlive Dallas. I'll continue to age, and will soon be older than Darry, who was the oldest out of the gang (20).

Sorry if this sounds more like a vent. I just need to get this out and off my chest.

[urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites]

do you have any cuddling hcs after a long day for m!greaser?

Sure, and you didn’t specify any of the greasers that you wanted so I can just do cuddling head cannons for everyone! Also I did a gender neutral reader if that’s alright with you!

Cuddling with the gang! (GN reader)

Ponyboy Curtis

-I feel like he’d like being the little spoon more

-he wants to be held fr

-would probably fall asleep in your arms smiling

-he’d feel so relaxed and vulnerable

-and would probably live cuddling with you at the end of long days

-and just talking, whispering together

- speaking of which (slight nsfw warning) if you whispered something dirty into his ear

-probably the most turned on out of the gang

-instant hard on, especially with the close proximity

Johnny Cade

-little spoon 100%

-he wants to be held so bad

-he’s the most touch starved and it took him forever to get used to it

-like he craves touching yet resents it

-and he’d be silently happy if you snuggled with him and was the big spoon

-small kisses down his neck? Back scratching? Massages? He’d melt into your very arms

-your arms are his safe space tbh

-at the end of a long hard day I feel like it’s what he looks forward to

-the non judgmental, safe space

Sodapop Curtis

-He would switch being the big spoon or the little spoon

-hed love it

-he’d be like a golden retriever sunbathing in that one spot in the window that lets most of the light in

-he’s really soft

-the softest out of everyone I feel like he uses some sort of lotion fr or is just blessed

-when he gets really tired his southern drawl gets real thick

-would whisper “I love you” before falling asleep with his head in the crook of your neck/over your shoulder

Darry Curtis

-big spoon 100%

-he has a lot of real tough, bad days

-and even more than Johnny oh boy does he look forward to your cuddles

-he probably gets home and tackles you onto the bed like

-yk what time it is…

-if you have him massages or scratches he’d die

-bro has so much tension in his body from work and whenever you do your magic

-he falls asleep like every time

-he’s the most thankful for your cuddles

-he feels like it’s his reward for work tbh

-he’d throw a fit like a toddler if you refused lmao (jkjk… mostly)

Dallas Winston

-insists on being the big spoon but secretly wants just to be held and in the little spoon

-loves the possessive aspect of cuddling you

-he takes it as kinda of a “you’re mine”

-he would act more cold about it, at least..

-until you fall asleeep

-then kiss your forehead (he can’t be mushy in front of you ofc)

-“Night, Doll. You’re so pretty.”

Two Bit Mathews

-prefers big spoon but can be both

-he loves giggling into your neck/shoulder

-likes being held or holding you

-most likely to play with random body parts

-not even sexually just like squishing your cheeks, thighs, arms

-anything in his range really lmao

-he likes making you giggle into him too

-and when he’s too tired for jokes he’ll kiss your cheek goodnight

-he’d also stare at you in your sleep, like how did I get this damn lucky

Steve Randle

-switches from little spoon to big depending on the day

-he loves cuddling you

-he would be the most likely to give you a massage

-cars ain’t the only thing he’s good at with his hands 😏

-but fr a god at massages

I love Jally AND Ponyboy.

I literally cannot choose just one.

Johnny was the only thing cold and mean Dallas Winston ever loved, and when Johnny died Dally died too.

But Johnny admits to ponyboy that he didn't see much colour in the world before Pony came along and showed him those colours.

THERES NO WINNING HERE

[hellonearthtoday]

Just saw your new Steve and Ponyboy art. Adorable. I think the fandom has collectivly agreed that for Steve and Pony, it was hate at first sight. Since I'm a huge Purly enthusiast, what do you think of the idea of Steve groaning "Ponyboy being so annoying" and Curly (being "the awesomest boyfriend in the world") decides 'i'll show him annoying'

I think about this a lot.

I loveee Steve and Pony's dynamic so bad you don'tttt understand. I know we like to pass the "Steve does care to some extent about PB he just doesn't show it" ball around a lot but in my dearest hearts of hearts I veer towards the "Steve genuinely dislikes PB so bad and for very little good reason, they just don't get along" rhetoric because we don't have enough "I hate this bitch for no reason" representation.

Accidentally went on a Steve rant I'm sorry you gave me the opportunity and I ran with it🫢 But haven't you ever disliked someone who everyone else likes? that shit is torture and just makes you dislike them more.

Anywho, Purly...I had to sit and think about this for a second.

Curly (the one in my head) doesn't hang around the Curtis gang nearly enough to catch wind of Steve mouthing off about Ponyboy in real time. All the anti-Steve propaganda he consumes comes from Ponyboy himself, who at one point probably begins to complain to him about how Steve needs to RELAX once in awhile.

Curly (once again in my head) is sort of selfish and doesn't often get mad on the behalf of others unless he has some sort of grudge against them himself🤷‍♂️ just so he can use it as an excuse to jump the people he don't like.

Steve and PB aren't mortal enemies they're just in this petty nightmare grudge match, and Curly unfortunately isn't NEARLY conniving enough to set up an anvil trap, and definitely not competently enough for it to hit it's mark (Steve) so Curly retaliates against the Curtis gang as a whole by just dragging Ponyboy out to pretend he has a bigger social life than he does, and if Steve HAPPENS to be there he's mean mugging Steve the whole time looking like some evil ass fish going "Ya Ponyboy didn't wanna hang out w y'all anyway😒😒" w his arm around Ponys shoulder like he even know him like that

whole time Steve is jus like Who is thisss😐

Steve don't really gaf Abt Curly but his thought process is that all of Ponyboys friends outside forced contact (The gang) have GOT be as insufferable as him, so thats how Curly slowly becomes public enemy #1

#the outsiders #ponyboy curtis #curly shepard #purly #Steve randle #im sorry I hate the word boyfriend sooo bad they're a secret fourth thing #its the 1960s they're in quotes. Really Good Friends #their wedding will be a spring one #this went on for so long I'm so sorry I love talking about them

[imdead770]

I love the idea that Ponyboy over exagerrated the entire Outsiders storyline. Like

Ponyboy: Hey, this is my school paper, could you guys read it over?

Darry: Yeah, I'll give it to the others

Ponyboy: So?

Johnny: It's really good, but.. uh-

Dallas: I didn't fuckin' die? When the hell did I get shot?

Ponyboy: That one time when-

Dallas: That was a fuckin' bb-gun??
