So I have a head cannon that Darry and soda will just catch Purly doing the most random things at the most absurd times of night and call Tim to come get him. They're all tired of it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tim Shepard would say his night was going pretty smoothly. Angela and Curly had retreated to their bedrooms about three hours ago. Now he was sat in the living room with the TV playing low. He wasn't exactly focused on what was playing, more just background noise while he got lost in his thoughts.
Then the phone rang.
He groaned as he stretched, getting up from his chair and walking over to the landline to pick up the call. Who ever calls at the hour? It was probably somewhere around 1am. If this clan wasn't important, he was maming whoever it was.
Picking up the phone from the receiver, he could instantly hear the sound of a scuffle in the background. The unmistakable noise of two people fighting and what sounded like someonr trying to break them up.
Raising a brow at the noise, he finally decided to address who ever was on the other line
"Hello?"
"Timothy. Fucking. Shepard. "
Oh! That was definitely Darrel Curtis on the other line. And he was using his full name. And sounded ready to kill someone. And it was 1am. And he was calling Tim. What the fuck.
"Darry? What the hell are you doing calling me at the a-"
"If you don't come get your demon child RIGHT NOW I will personally make sure you NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN!"
Tims mouth was hanging open like a fish out of water as he was interrupted. That was certainly a... Declaration...
Listening closer at the yelling in the background, he could hear one distinct voice.
Curly.
Fuck.
He groaned, running a hand down his face and fighting back the urge to punch the walk right then and there
"Ya, ya I'll be there in a few"
"Good"
Before he could get anything else in, the line went dead.
How did his life come to this?
Opening the door to the Curtis household at 2am (thanks to it always being unlocked) was a sight to see. Darry was standing in the kitchen looking all but ready to die in the spot and like he hadn't slept in five years, Sodapop was sitting on the couch with bruises on his face and his arms crossed, not looking at anyone. And the youngest Curtis was sitting on the couch, looking like his mind was already on a different planet and covered in cigarette burns.
And then there was his kid brother, looking all to smug for being covered in bruises and latching onto Ponyboy and actively biting on his shoulder like some piranha. He had caught the kid biting a lot of things before. Clothes, plastic, metal, himself, but really? The Curtis kid?
"Caught those two playing chicken on the roof"
Hearing Darry speak just solidifies his theory that he was ready to die that instant. And honestly?
Tim was in the same boat.

inspired by the damn good cup of coffee i just had: the outsiders characters ranked by their daily caffeine intake from most to least:
darry is just 90% coffee at this point.
dallas.
steve is in charge of making the shitty gas station coffee you get on roadtrips down at the dx, and he thinks it tastes fine thank you very much (it does not)
johnny doesn't really like coffee, but ends up drinking a decent amount of it solely because dallas keeps making it for him and he doesn't want to hurt dally's feelings by telling him he doesn't like it.
modern au two-bit drinks energy drinks.
pony is not allowed to have coffee. he has it anyway any time he can scrounge up the money to order a cup at the diner, and he gets it black. he also doesn't like coffee, but he thinks drinking black coffee makes him look tough. (it doesn't when he scrunches up his nose every time he takes a sip)
soda doesn't really drink caffeine (he has the brand of adhd where coffee makes you tired)

Katniss: my parents’ names? What do you need those for? That’s not important to the plot.
Haymitch: Katniss didn’t tell you her parents’ names?? Here’s a comprehensive list of her entire family tree. Did you know she’s related to my girlfriend?

one of my fave things from tuesdays show was that when soda and pony are in bed and Davis!soda asks Brody!pony if he’s still reading that book he’s not looking at pony when he asks and pony nods in response and then soda looks over and taps pony because he didn’t hear an answer (or see because he wasn’t looking at pony) and pony rolls his eyes and then nods even more exaggeratedly in response.

Sirius will absolutely fight someone for calling Remus a nerd, but the second they’re alone: “Move over nerd, that’s my spot on your bed.”

Thinking about Ace, and how part of the reason why Pony’s encounter with Cherry was so impactful was because she is a girl, because girls are such an anomaly to him, and how if Ace exists that’s no longer true.
But then I thought, well, Cherry is still plenty of an anomaly if the only girl Pony ever hangs out with is Ace. Cherry is the polar opposite of Ace - she’s a Soc and she’s very traditionally feminine, whereas Ace is very much not.
So now I’m picturing Pony rambling to Ace about Cherry, how “I never really hung around girls before.” “So what am I, huh?” “Oh, you don’t count. I mean like a girl girl.” Ace gives him a look. “I mean, she’s one of those pretty girls.” “………..” “I mean-! No! I mean - I mean…..…..” “go on. I’ll wait.”

“You wanna be a fighter then know just what you're fighting for”
And then later, when Pony is wrapping his hands, he demands the gang to do it for Johnny.
