hii !! 😊 I absolutely lovee your page, do you thing you could write a fic about dallas please??

dallas winston x cheerleader!reader

───── ˚ ୨୧ ⋆  ─────

— dallas had seen you around town before—hard not to, with the way you stood out, all done up in your cheer uniform, the skirt swishing around your thighs. you weren’t like the loud greaser girls he usually messed with, which made you even more intriguing.

— he first noticed you walking past buck’s one night, all giggly with your friends, completely out of place in this part of town. you didn’t look scared, just clueless, like you had no idea where you were or who you were walking past.

— “well, ain’t that a sight?” he muttered under his breath, lighting a cigarette, his eyes following you as you strutted down the street.

— the first time you two actually talked was after a football game. you were standing outside the stadium, waiting for your ride when dallas pulled up in a beat-up, stolen car, with that cocky smirk on his face.

— “what’s a pretty thing like you doin’ all alone?” he asked, leaning out the cars window, his voice low.

— “waiting for my ride,” you said, giving him a once-over, eyeing the car like you were trying to decide if it was worth the risk.

— “i’ll take you,” he offered, eyes glinting. “don’t worry, i won’t getcha killed.”

— the smart thing to do would’ve been to say no, to wait for someone safer.

— but the offer was too good to pass up.

— you climbed into the car without a second thought, rolling your eyes at how easy it was for him to get in your head. you were used to getting attention, but dallas? he was different.

— he drove you to your house in near silence, except for a few sarcastic remarks and a shared look at the red light that felt like too much of a connection.

— as you got out of the car, he shot you his signature smirk again. “see ya, doll.”

— you just shrugged, thinking it was a one-time thing, but for some reason, you couldn’t get him out of your head.

— the next few days were a blur—school, practice, friends, but all you could think about was that stupid car ride.

— dallas made a habit of showing up at random times, all cocky like it’d been a coincidence. he’d show up at your school after practice, just to make sure you were “okay”.

— “where’s your ride at?” he’d ask, voice dripping with fake concern. “gotta make sure you’re not walkin’ around here alone.”

— you rolled your eyes but secretly liked the attention. you didn’t say it out loud, but you were starting to look forward to seeing him.

— johnny cade was the one who first noticed it. he’d seen dallas hanging around you more often, and he was the one who called dallas out for it.

— “hey man, you been chillin’ with that soc?” johnny muttered one afternoon, voice laced in confusion.

— dallas just shrugged, not really caring about what anyone thought. “she’s not bad, kid. better than most of the stuck-up girls around here.”

— things between you and dallas stayed casual at first. he’d pick you up, drop you off, never anything too serious. but that didn’t last long.

— soon, he was showing up at your school to grab you after practice, sometimes bringing johnny along, sometimes not.

— your friends didn’t get it at first. they were all stuck-up and clueless, so when you started hanging out with dallas, they thought it was just a phase.

— “why are you wasting your time with him?” one of your friends, katie, asked one day as you sat together during lunch. “he’s a greaser, you’re a cheerleader. it doesn’t make sense.”

— you rolled your eyes. “don’t worry about it. dally’s different.”

— but even though your friends didn’t understand, you couldn’t care less. dallas made you feel something no one else had.

— your first kiss with him was a mess—neither of you expected it, but it happened anyway. you’d just gotten out of practice, standing by his car when he pulled you in, his lips pressing against yours like he couldn’t hold back anymore.

— you were breathless when he pulled away, staring at him with wide eyes. “what was that for?”

— “shut up,” dallas muttered, not even bothering to explain. “you think too much.”

— things just kind of fell into place after that. you started hanging out more, and the chemistry was definitely there.

— eventually, word got around—people at school started whispering, and it didn’t take long for your coach to get wind of it.

— “listen, i don’t care who you date, but if you start showing up late, missing practice, or getting in trouble, you’re benched. got it?,” your coach said sternly after practice one day. “and for gods sake, date someone who won’t end up in jail every other week.”

— “yes ma’am,” you muttered, not in the mood for a longer lecture.

— your parents weren’t thrilled, either. your mom would give you that disappointed look every time she saw you hopping out his thunderbird, but you didn’t care. you were tired of living up to their expectations.

— dallas might not have been the perfect guy, but you weren’t perfect either. and when it came to him, you didn’t care about anything.

The Outsiders incorrect quotes because I'm bored

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Dally: Legend says that when you can’t sleep, it means you’re awake in someone else’s dreams.

Dally, a raging insomniac: When I find out who you are, I’m going to kick your ass.

...

Darry: Yesterday, Ponyboy told me that when he was a kid and had nightmares of being chased by monsters, he would end the dream by finding me because I would protect him by fighting off the monsters or carrying him away. The funny thing is that when I was a kid, I remember constantly having nightmares where I had to save him from monsters.

Darry: ... I'm torn between thinking it's sweet and being annoyed that he somehow mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmares to me as a child

...

Ponyboy: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait.

Johnny: You and me?

Ponyboy: *tearing up* Ok.

...

Two-Bit: You know what I’ve realized?

Steve: That some thoughts are better left unsaid?

Two-Bit: Nice try, anyways-

...

Darry: You're smiling, what happened?

Ponyboy: What? Can't I smile just because I feel like it?

Soda: Steve tripped and fell down the stairs today.

...

Steve: You played me!

Soda, cheating at poker: Like the cheap kazoo you are!

...

Ponyboy: Can I have some water?

Byron: *starts chugging his water bottle*

Byron: *chokes from drinking too fast*

Byron: *spills water all over himself*

Byron, coughing: I don't have any water.

...

Random person at the church: How many children do you have?

Mrs. Curtis: Biologically or emotionally? Because there's a big difference.

...

Curly: *gets a text* Oh! It’s Tim.

Ponyboy: Did he get the stuff?

Curly: Yeah, he says he got us the clown costume, the power drill, and 12 gallons of blood.

Ponyboy: Whoa! Where’d he find 12 gallons of fake blood?

Curly: You wanted fake blood?

Ponyboy: ...

Curly: I’ll go call Tim

...

Soda: You can take away my rights, but can you take away my lefts?

...

Johnny: Dally and I were crossing the street, and this soc drove by and honked at us

Darry, sighing: What did he do?

Johnny: he chased him to the next red light, then reached into his window and...

Dally, grinning: Who wants a steering wheel?

...

Bob: I came out here to attack people and I'm honestly having such a good time right now.

Bob: *gets stabbed a minute later* Fuck.

...

Curly: FIGHT ME, YOU NERD ASS PUNK!

Angela: At least try to sound slightly more sophisticated when you threaten someone.

Curly: Oh, I'm sorry. I should ask; dost thou want to engage in a duel, my good bitch?

Angela: Somehow that's even worse.

...

Soda: What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a kid?

Darry: That naptime was a punishment.

...

Ponyboy: The first time Two-Bit opened a box of Cheerios and looked inside he yelled, "OH WOW! DONUT SEEDS!"

...

Johnny: So I have made the decision to trust you.

Dally: A horrible decision, really.

...

Two-Bit: Who thinks I can fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?

Darry: You’re a hazard to society

Steve: And a coward. DO TWENTY.

...

*At the police station*

Darry: Hi, I’m here for Dallas.

Police officer: Who’s Dallas?

Darry: Ah, you must be new.

...

Ponyboy: So the other day Darry sent Soda out to get us some gas.

Ponyboy: And instead of getting gas, he got us novelty cookie cutters.

Ponyboy: Now everything we eat is shaped like a dinosaur.

Ponyboy: …

Ponyboy: I love it so much.

...

Angela: I hate when people ask me what sign I am. Bitch, I'm a sign from god. Start running.

...

Buck: What are you writing?

Dally: The fuzz wanna know what kind of weapons we have in the house. I'm letting them know it's private information.

Buck, looking over Dally's shoulder: This just says 'fuck around and find out' in calligraphy.

...

Johnny, having a panic attack: I don't dab. I stab.

...

Steve: Your existence is confusing.

Ponyboy: How?

Steve: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to you upsets me.

...

Soda: Heads up, if you try to make a candle with food colouring, it will just sink to the bottom of the glass, and when the flame eventually reaches the bottom all the food colouring will catch fire and become one giant tall flame that you cannot possibly blow out and the glass will start to crack and then you'll throw your tea on it in a panic and then the extremely hot food colouring will boil and sizzle horribly and then the glass will shatter.

Darry, sighing: What did you do?

Soda, wailing: A MISTAKE

...

Two-Bit: So what’s for breakfast?

Ponyboy, staring at the eggs all over the walls: Regret.

...

Johnny: "You're an old soul" is just old people speak for "I've noticed you've been depressed since you were 9."

...

Ponyboy: Quick, what's your blood type?

Dally: How would I know?

Ponyboy: How would you not!?

Dally: Who am I, Karl Landsteiner, discoverer of blood groups?

Ponyboy, distressed: You don't know your own blood type, but you know who discovered them?!

...

Curly: *Accidentally punched Ponyboy in the face*

Curly: *Trying to decide between saying 'I’m fucking sorry' and 'Are you okay'*

Curly: ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!

Ponyboy, confused: What’s wrong with you?!

Angela: *wheezing in the background*

...

Darry: Can you please be serious for five minutes?

Two-Bit: My record is four, but I think I can do it.

...

Sylvia: Why are you like this??

Dally: I used too much "No More Tears" shampoo as a kid and I haven't felt a single emotion since.

...

Curly: I was arrested for being too tuff.

Tim: The charges were dropped due to a lack of supporting evidence.

...

Ponyboy: Do you think different paints have different tastes?

Soda: They do.

Darry: ... Why did you say that with such certainty?

...

Soda, euphoric from his first date with Sandy: Date someone who will drag you outside at 3am to look at the stars.

Steve: If anyone, and I mean anyone, wakes me up at 3am to go look at the damn sky they will be removed indefinitely from my life.

...

Tim: I have the sharpest memory here - name one time I forgot something!

Curly: You left me in a Walmart parking lot at 2am a day ago.

Tim: I did that on purpose, try again.

...

Dally: *choking on something*

Steve: Jeez, Dal, don't die on us.

Dally: Don't tell me what to do, I'll die whenever the hell I want

...

Angela: You can trust me! Let's not forget who pulled you out of the river when you were six.

Curly, dryly: Let's not forget who pushed me in

...

Dally: I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.

...

Darry: Don’t say a word.

Ponyboy: Fergalicious.

Darry: Pony, I said no words.

Ponyboy: Oh, I see how it is. Two weeks ago, when we were playing Scrabble, it wasn't a word, now suddenly it is a word because it’s convenient for you.

...

Soda: Steve, you need to react when customers cry!

Steve: I did. I rolled my eyes.

...

Ponyboy: 'Struggling with depression' would seem to imply that I am bad at being depressed when I am, in fact, very proficient at being depressed.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

That's it for now lol

[thatbirdrestaurant]

the outsiders characters going through haunted houses

ponyboy is the only one who doesn't try to throw a punch on a scare actor or one of the props. yes, johnny went for a swing.

steve makes fun of ponyboy for getting a little startled then immediately has a much bigger reaction.

two-bit uses darry as a shield from scare actors.

tim and curly are both banned from the haunted house for pulling a knife on one of the actors.

dally is banned for nearly setting a table cloth on fire but he sneaks in so he can keep an eye on ponyboy and johnny.

soda and darry went in telling ponyboy they'll protect him and that he shouldn't be embarrassed for getting scared, and came out gripping his shoulder's looking like they've witnessed a murder.

an actor dressed to look like a zombie looked a little too much like johnny's father and his fight or flight kicked in. ponyboy has to wrap his entire body around him while dally wrestles his switchblade out of his hand.

soda and steve always go through as soon as they can, so they can go back in with cute girls and look brave. two-bit will tag along to point out all the spots they got scared by.

darry accidentally scares the gang because he doesn't make a lot of noise and he's a lot scarier than usual when he randomly emerges from the shadows.

everyone thinks cherry is going to flip out but she comes out completely unphased and complaining about the costume quality. the soc boys she came with are literally shaking in their boots.

ponyboy gets scared by a frankenstein actor then rambles to the gang about how "frankenstein is actually the one who made the monster" and all that nerd shit, and it successfully distracts the gang long enough to get out.

[your-unfriendlyghost]

the outsiders as textposts I found while scrolling through the it’s always sunny tag:

pt 1/???

Here’s my Sylvia btw I’ve drawn her a handful of times but this is my first time posting her lol

Also it’s up to you if she’s tall or if Dal’s just short

[3lliana]

i just KNOW Curly and Angela did not play about that Easter egg hunt Tim and dallas would set up for them when they were little. it would always result in tears or an argument.

[thegetou]

Two-Bit is the type of guy to get deep while blasted about the most random stupid shit 😭 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Dally: Man, I gotta take a leak bad-

Two: You ever think about that? I mean... just really sit with it? The fact that everyone does it? Everyone that’s ever lived long enough has pissed at least once in their lifetime. You know a lot of times even giving birth, women piss. Then even animals do it, too. All around the globe there are probably hundreds, nay, thousands of people pissing right this minute, no, right this second. Billions upon billions of living creatures that have ever walked, crawled, or slithered across the Earth have pissed. Billions of streams all flowing together now & since the beginning of time to form a great expanse of golden, glistening piss.

Dally: WOAH.

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 [𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫]

𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 - this took me way too long to get out so sorry y'all. my mental health has kinda gone on a silly little rollercoaster so my posting might be a little all over the place i'm still taking requests from both this prompt list and this one!!

𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 - 579 words

𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 - brief mentions of fighting (i think)

The living room is unnaturally quiet, not a single word being said amongst the boys, the only sound being the muffled drone of the TV and the occasional sharp intake of air from Darry as you clean the cuts and scrapes littering his knuckles.

His already patched up hand rests lightly on your hip, keeping you steady in his lap as you work on his other hand,  his thumb gently rubbing circles into your skin under your shirt, a small gesture that you have become increasingly used to since you’ve known him. 

You run the wet cloth across his beaten knuckles once more, mumbling a soft apology when he winces slightly at the sharp sting. 

“It’s fine,” he mutters quietly, squeezing your hip briefly in reassurance, his gaze drifting to the rest of the boys. 

It’s never this quiet after a rumble; everyone is usually bursting with energy, waiting for the adrenaline high to wear off. But it’s been over twenty minutes since they returned home, and hardly anyone has spoken, the air in the room filled with a heavy sense of exhaustion, which is only further confirmed by the way everyone is slumped against one another. 

“Are you gonna stay the night?” Darry asks suddenly, his voice rough from disuse and tiredness, hushed so that only you can hear him. 

You glance up from where you were wrapping his injured knuckles, giving him a small smile in response before dropping your gaze once more.

“If you want me to,” you reply, nodding your head in response. You know he’d probably benefit from you staying; although he’d never admit it, you can sense his built up stress, how tensely wound he still remains despite your best efforts to calm him down, and you know it’d do him the world of good to be in the presence of someone perhaps a little more grounding than the other boys. 

Darry nods slowly in response, shifting you ever so slightly in his lap before leaning forward and pressing his lips to your forehead, lingering for a moment before pulling back with a sigh. A fresh bruise is blossoming just below his eye, and you frown slightly at the sight of it, cupping his cheek tenderly before placing a quick kiss there. He leans into your touch easily, closing his eyes as you pull away. His arms tighten around you, a sure sign that he wants to keep you close, and you don’t fight it, settling yourself more comfortably into his lap, his hand sliding slowly along the fabric of your top.

You decide now is the best time to pack away the first aid kit, all of the boys cleaned up and taken care of. You set the box aside, letting out a small sigh of relief as you sit back once more, tucking your face in the crook of his neck. He hums softly in response, his fingers combing through your hair absently, removing any ounce of worry and stress you'd built up over the rumble. 

You’re content to stay just like this, listening as the boys finally begin to relax, one by one succumbing to exhaustion, the hum of commercials on the TV becoming quieter until it’s nothing but background noise. 

You stay like that a while longer, eventually lulled to sleep by the comforting weight of Darry’s arms wrapped securely around you, and the sound of his gentle breaths that match yours.

[alittlebitofloveliness]

Johnny Cade hc because I’m glad its the weekend

-Is a LOT tougher than the gang gives him credit for. A lot.

-To anyone who doesn’t know him well he looks incredibly intimidating

-Can make a fire out of nothing. It’s a skill he learned from spending a lot of nights in the lot when he doesn’t feel like bothering anyone, but tbh he’s honestly a bit of a pyro

-Is INCREDIBLY protective of Ponyboy, but knows Ponyboy hates feeling babied so he makes sure he never finds out.

-On multiple occasions he’s heard socs or some mouthier greasers talking shit about Ponyboy at school, and together with Steve and Two-bit beat them senseless without any of the Curtis boys ever finding out. There’s a mutual agreement between the three of them that Darry and Soda have enough to worry about without worrying about Pony getting jumped at school, and none of them wanna hurt Pony’s pride, not even Steve.

-Really appreciates that Pony is able to tell when he doesn’t wanna talk and answers for him. Pony never gets it wrong and sometimes talking feels like such an effort so Johnny is really glad to have such a good friend

-Was the last person in the gang to meet Dally, since he was nursing some pretty bad injuries when Dally first came to Tulsa, and was laying low

-Hates Curly Shepard with a burning passion. Partially because he can SEE how terrible of an influence Curly is on Ponyboy, but some of it is just straight up jealousy. In Johnny’s mind Ponyboy is HIS best friend and Curly better be ready to fight if he thinks he can just waltz out of the reformatory and try and take his place in Pony’s life. Their rivalry got so bad at one point that after the third fistfight Tim and Darry made a mutual agreement to try and keep Johnny and Curly away from each other (with limited success).

-He and Ponyboy encourage each other’s smoking habits because if one of them runs out of cigarettes the other usually has at least half a pack left

-One of the old cowboys at Buck’s bar taught him to line dance and he’s really good at it

-Is indifferent to country music but pretends to love it just because of how horrified and pissed off Ponyboy gets at the mere prospect

-Is the best in the gang at poker by a lot. It drives Soda and Dally crazy for different reasons. Soda is mostly incredulous, but Dally is wicked competitive and hates losing

-Was the first to notice Curly liked Ponyboy in a more than friendly way when he realised the way Curly was teasing Ponyboy was the exact same way Two-bit teased his many blondes- fond with an undercurrent of heat. As soon as he realised it he walked across the room and socked Curly in the jaw. Obviously they fought, and it took Ponyboy, Tim Shepard, and two others from the Shepard gang to pull them off each other. Pony ignored both of them for a week straight afterwards which is the only reason they established an uneasy truce.

-He and Pony mutter sarcastic shit to each other when the gang is all hanging out together and make up dumb reasons as to why they’re laughing if anyone notices

-He’s actually pretty good friend’s with Two-bit’s little sister since he crashes at Two’s house almost as much as he crashes with the Curtis’ or with Dally

-Cordially detests Angela Shepard. He thinks it’d be wrong to hit a girl but Angela is protective of Curly and doesn’t take kindly to the fact he and Curly can’t seem to stop fighting each other. He thinks she shouldn’t take Curly’s side- Tim certainly doesn’t. In any case, they trade glares and frosty remarks but never tussle any worse than that, though Angela swears she’ll stab him if he breaks Curly’s nose again.

-He and Ponyboy are banned from being on each others team for any board or card game requiring teams because they’re too good at reading each other’s minds (Soda and Steve are also banned from being on a team together for the same reason). 

-Once helped Steve steal the hubcaps off a socs car in the lot

-Is convinced that Ponyboy is afraid of girls (no matter how much Pony protests) and thinks its the funniest shit ever

Since its pride month...the outsiders pride headcanons!! I'll be sticking to the Curtis gang + the shepherds so if you want more characters lmk

Ponyboy- (i have the most for him. I have favorites.) Ponyboy is trans ftm and mlm! He's been unlabeled most of his life cause hes never really been sure about who he likes , even dating some girls at some point (cathy) because he wasnt sure. Eventually, he figured out he was mlm! I also think hes asexual, maybe somewhere on the aro spectrum. He uses any pronouns and truly does not care. He has a funny relationship with gender

Darry- mlm tbh. Mlm but nobody has figured it out. Its not like he goes out of his way to hide it or anything , he just doesnt say it and everyone thinks he likes girls. He uses he/him pronouns

Soda- bisexual for sure. Also has a funky relationship with gender, probably tells everyone he goes by he/him but also doesn't care what you call him. They may be bigender..who knows

Johnny- 100% ftm trans. I dont make the rules trans pb+j okay. Johnny doesnt like to label his Sexuality, he doesnt really care.

Dally- bisexual with a heavy female lean tbh. At some point he would say hes "straight but doesnt mind kissing a boy now and then". I feel like hes the kinda guy that would make flirty comments and stuff with the gang as a joke but at some point it stopped being a joke.

Two-bit- unlabeled I feel. He will kiss boys and girls he doesnt really care but he also doesnt really label his Sexuality.

Steve- steve. Bisexual or mlm, he's still questioning himself heavily.

Curly- bisexual for sure. He/they pronouns i feel. He may be demiboy. His relationship with gender is also a little funky !!

Angela- bisexual with a heavy male lean. Kissed a girl at a party one time and realized. Curly and angela bisexual siblings !!

Tim- says he's straight but he's really not. He's unlabeled/queer. He is definitely not straight but who needs to know

The urge to write an outsiders oneshot where all three Curtis bros get sick and all three of them compiled onto Darry’s bed and using Darry as a body pillow and the rest of the gang freaking out and acting like it’s the end of the world aka learning to take care of the brothers who’d always taken care of them 🥹
