sean!trip headcanons for the poor?

most of these are based off of things I noticed while watching sean play steven in bring it on, so keep that in mind.

trip has major himbo energy, he don’t always know what’s going on, but whatever it is, he’s doing with energy

he does cringy things like the “baby kitty” thing with marcia all of the time. In reality she really hated it but everyone around her kept saying it was so sweet and so cute that she just thought something was wrong on her part

even after the events of the story, trip will hate on the greasers and the groups that marcia joins, but he never actually hates on marcia herself. he stands by that she’s a sweet girl who fell into the wrong crowd. and while that does suck still, he doesn’t actually have ill intent towards her.

he did use to help cherry and marcia figure out stunts for the cheer team by basing them in someone’s backyard and when anyone made fun of him he’d be like “i’m literally doing it because I’m so strong” “id like to see you throw a girl ten feet in the air” and “im the one standing under her (if you know bring it on you understand what im referencing)” but he did secretly want to be the one stunting them in games

just watched sean jones as steven in bring it on at the muny and lord did i love seeing him play the himboest himbo.

It genuinely made me start thinking about other headcannons for his specific trip (lmk if you want me to expand)

anyway, he was wonderful and ate down.

also lin manuel miranda just like… showed up at the end of the night so… that was cray

having trauma that you suppressed and ignored is so upsetting.

but you’re telling me i have to deal with all of this trauma and i didn’t even get funny because of it????

fuck this shit.

i know that darrel curtis did not go to college, nor is he a girl, but he does have the universal 19 year old college girl experience of seeing just how many rock bottoms you can hit in one year, so i’m granting him honorary membership to the club

just thought about jack wolfe as gabe goodman again

When Darry and Paul are seniors, there’s this crop of annoying freshmen Socs on the JV football team who follow Paul around like rich, spoiled ducklings. Apparently Paul’s parents are friends with a lot of their parents or whatever, connections from the same rich, snotty west side neighborhood. They’re always hanging around Paul, bugging him for rides and booze. (At seventeen, Paul’s fake ID is more convincing than these preppy kindergartners.)

One day they play a prank on the kids - Paul generously lets all the Soc boys pile into his mustang with Darry driving. Darry has perfected his technique of driving like a bat outta hell to entertain his little brothers. He speeds, takes razor sharp turns, spins the car in circles, skids a little too close to ditches. It has the desired effect. The passengers are all terrified, nauseous, or both. Trip screams like a girl. (What kinda name is Trip anyway?) Brill (ditto on the dumb name) has a death grip on the door handle so hard his knuckles are white, eyes wide with terror. When they get out of the car, Chet throws up. And Bobby (“Paul, quit calling me that, it’s Bob now!”) looks like he ain’t even breathing.

Darry and Paul laugh their asses off.

Darry gets a sudden sense of Deja vu in Pershing park. Through the coating of rain, mud, and blood, he sees swatches of torn madras shirts floating in puddles, wobbling upright, and stumbling away toward cars that somebody had stupidly given them a license to operate.

Darry and Paul are glaring at each other like they’ve never laughed together a day in their lives. Trip takes a nasty looking punch from Two-Bit, and screams like a girl. Brill stands frozen for a moment until his friends grab him, fists clenched so hard they’re vibrating, eyes wide with terror. Chet drops to his knees on his way out of the park, and throws up. And Bobby - Bob -

Bob isn’t breathing.

this is my favorite thing about revivals or really just putting shows that allow it in a modern context. I LOVE USING MODERN TRADITIONS FOR STORYTELLING IN LEGITIMATE MEDIA!!!

Scrunchie saga!

*tears in my eyes* the WHAT???

The fact that Caissie brought her own children's clothes for this still kills me

[closetnerd62]

the cut to Natalie sobbing and covering her ears during I Am The One actually broke me

[closetnerd62]

hear me out, a dally fic based on blown away by miranda lambert.

[closetnerd62]

the curtis gang so desperately wanting to call two-bit a song of a bitch but seeing as the only reason she could be present in his life was because she was working constantly to keep the lights on for him, they refused to insinuate that his mother was a bitch

[closetnerd62]

my favorite thing to do to piss off musical theater douches is remind them that almost any tenor role could be played by an alto and i can almost guarantee that it’d be better.

[closetnerd62]

emma pittman just said the words “marcia and two bit singing bad idea from waitress” and i just-

i screamed so hard i passed out, came to, and screamed again.

[closetnerd62]

modern au dallas went with steve and twobit to the minecraft movie and threw a chicken at the screen during that scene

IM SCREAMINGGGG

[closetnerd62]

I said this on someone else's, but post canon Darry definitely reads ponyboys favorite books on his lunch breaks and before bed so they can have something to talk about later

I also very much enjoy the belief that ponyboy how on top start only smoking Winston cigarettes in honor of dally

yes and yes.

i can see darry STUDYING those books, and like maybe he was a good student, but i can still see him struggling with old poetic language and i am having visions of him late at night at the dinner table looking at the book mumbling “wtf does this mean” but trying really hard to get it for pony’s sake
