I feel as though, and correct me if I’m wrong, Peter Parker from the comics is a dog person. But a cat wonders into his fire escape one day and despite his distain for cats he feeds it.

Grumbling to himself as the cat screams at him through the window, and he’s opening the can and setting half of it in a bowl because he knows the lil guy will throw up if he eats the whole thing. And yet he insists he doesn’t like the cat.

Mj:“Peter since when did you have a cat?”

Peter:”it’s not my cat. It just hangs around, I don’t really like him.”

*the cat is sitting on his lap*

Mj: ”I could take it off your hands if you—“

Peter:”NO.”

What am I thinking about?

Nothing just after the Thunderbolts how everyone in New York was in the void. How Peter Parker must’ve gone through everything over again, first uncle Ben’s death (if he even exists in the mcu), then getting dusted, then Tony’s death, then May’s, then the doughnut scene probably.

the outsiders as text-posts/chats part 3

my favourite one is "i wouldve called u faguette" lol, whats urs :)

Darry is such a 20-year-old boy. The fandom views him as this middle aged dad, but he is very much a 20-year-old big brother supervising his younger brothers while he himself is left unsupervised. He’s the embodiment of that quote “in my defense I was also left unsupervised.”

He eats chocolate cake for breakfast and lets his brothers do the same. He tells his brothers not to do anything that would land them in a boys home, but he fights in rumbles, lets them fight, hangs out with criminals, is ready to hide Dally from the cops, etc, because gang code and greaser code is sacrosanct in that ride-or-die, ritualized, romanticised way your social structure is at that age. (Also because that’s the only support system they have.) He has a rivalry with his high school best friend that they’re both still really hung up on. He shows off by flexing his muscles.

Darry Curtis is a hormonal, adolescent, barely-not-a-teenager who should absolutely not be solely responsible for his brothers.

Guys please tell me I'm not crazy for this. But in "The Outsiders" we all know that Steve R is 17 and Johnny C is 16. But if you look at their birthdays, Steve is born 04/15/49 and Johnny is born 03/01/49. So wouldn't that also mean Steve is 16 AND younger then Johnny only by like three weeks?

[ranx0]

"What's your favorite horror movie?"

Idk probably when Ponyboy tells Randy that he was the one who killed Bob and not Johnny

Idk probably when Johnny died knowing Dally was the only one who was proud of him

Idk maybe Darrel's reaction after being called in by the teacher to discuss what Pony wrote about him.

Idk probably the fact that Johnny could take a beating from his dad, but the Soc's scared him to death

Idk probably when Soda finally told Darry and Pony how he hated being dragged into their fights

Idk probably how Sherri might've reacted when she found out her boyfriend was dead

Idk probably how Sandy broke up with Soda while Pony was gone, so he didn't have anyone to talk to about it

Idk probably how the Curtis brothers felt after their parents died

[ranx0]

I fear once Darry made such a traumatic and dark joke about his depression and parents death that the whole gangs just stared at him slack jawed for a good thirty minutes while he just hummed away paying bills and making dinner

successfully got my therapist to see outsiders and she loved it so much that she called me just to tell me lol-she made it a point to tell me how much she loved brody’s voice (and compared him to bunsen boone, lol) and how kind everyone was. she did tell me security seemed uppity tho, like…tense i think is how she described it? but she said everything was lovely and she LOVED the rain scene and it kinda makes me wonder how they recycle that water since she asked me about that, haha— these are the kinds of experiences i like to hear about.

i got another one into the musical tho, it’s like a virus

DRAG RACING!!!!! DRAG RACING!!!! I LOVE DRAG RACING!!!! OMG!!!!!!

I love this op you have no idea how much I need this

Drag racin Johnny how I love you 💀

I like to imagine the first time Steve takes him out he’d be pissin. his. pants. Steve would be yelling expletives, telling him to slow down, reminding him that this is the only car he’s got. That’s his baby Johnny SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. Racin cars would be some of the only times Johnny would feel young, wild, and free if you will. Nothing gives him that adrenaline rush like putting that petal to the metal.

I fear Stevepop and Steve’s the big back who loves sodas cooking 💔

I know I always say that childhood friends to lovers is one of the best tropes, but I think its actually ‘cooking takes them to their happy place and they love to do it x big back who LOVES their cooking’

[ranx0]

Ponyboy who thinks Steve hates him but Steve does care for him just in his own way: we've seen it we love but I raise you

Steve who does hate Ponyboy, who hates the kid who has everything he wishes he got but doesn't and the kid doesn't even have the decency to appreciate it. He has two loving parents that don't beat him or yell at him, that do everything they can to give their boys the best life they can on the east side. And then they die, and Steve thinks okay so Pony isn't that lucky.

But then Darry does the impossible and convinces the state that he's a fit guardian and Ponyboy starts fighting and saying how Darry hates him. But all Steve can see is that the kid never has to know what it's like without a roof over his head. Never has to know what it's like to not have people who care about him. And he hates him for having what he doesn't. Hates him when he sees Darry wander home after pulling a double shift only for him to yell at Pony to get his homework done. Hates him when Soda starts working at the DX full time instead of going to school because even if Soda hated school Steve knows he also felt the need to help Darry out with the bills all while Pony stays out late and walks placed alone worrying his brothers sick instead of doing everything he can to make it easier for them.

And he knows he's being unfair, he knows Pony is just a kid and despite living on the east side his brother's and his parent's always kept him sheltered from the worst of it. It isn't his fault his family loves him while Steve dad couldn't care less if he dropped dead. But being a greaser isn't fair, living on the east side isn't fair, so yes Steve Randle hates Ponyboy Curtis, it's just not for the reason's he thinks.

When Dallas first came to Tulsa he heard the Curtis parents talking about how Ponyboy had a cavity because he drank so much “coke” and his northeastern self tried to win Ponyboy over by getting him an actual Coca Cola but little Ponyboy cried because he’s a Pepsi truther

[ranx0]

the gang who are just a bit. off puttin. to everyone else. there's just somethin a bit. wrong. with each of em.

Soda who can talk a person into anythin. can make you agree before you're even sure what you're sayin. who's some Greek god. who can pick a person apart in just a glance. Steve his shadow. who can lift a hubcap in under five seconds. a wide open mouth. a broken nose. a punch to the teeth. whose anger thrums under skin so hard you can feel it. even when you can't see it. Two who is quick dartin hands n laughter echoin up his throat when there ain't nothin funny. n you never can tell what he's thinkin. cause either way. he'll be laughin. Darry who's lived enough lives for all of em. who's eyes are sharp n cuttin n seen enough for a hundred boys his age. who will always be greif. a harbinger of death as much as the others. who moves on n over through life n yet holds perfectly still. trapped in the night of January 5th, 1965. Johnny who they all know would kill if pushed just enough. if given the right opportunity. who flinches at his own shadow n opens a mouth full of teeth n bites. the outline of a switchblade is always there under his palm. n his scar shines in the dark. Dallas winston who is guant n wild n maybe just a tad bit fuckin crazy. who is a rabid dog holdin his own leash. n you can never tell when he's hurt cause his breath is always ragged. n he'll bite without warnin shot. n then there's pony. who knows with out seein. n sees without knowin. who brings death. n knows it won't rest until it's taken everythin from him. whose eyes are wide n sunken n stare into a world sayin. I know. I know.

anyways. sorry. just. the gang who are strange. n uncomfortable. n cryptic. an incomprehensible 7 headed beast. Quick on the joke n quicker on the draw. who know everythin. n know nothin at all.

I think. My only issue I’m having trying to plan out my nascar Steve au, is that I don’t have many other characters, or ‘teams’ to work with.

I was thinking at first Steve was the driver, with the rest of the Curtis Gang as his pit crew. But then I realized, well, what kinda story and scenarios can I really write about (if I ever decide I want to) that actually interest me enough to wanna write it, not other people? Sure that thought may be appealing to some, and yeah it is to me too, but it’s only a good concept for me. Sure, other people could write it pretty well, but I wouldn’t be able to come up with a single idea that I actually be able to write over 1k words for.

Then I thought about Steve having his own crew, and the Curtis brothers themselves being another crew, with Soda as a driver and Darry as a Crew Chief. But there’s the problem of who are the other racers? Who’s Steve’s crew? Who’s the rest of the Curtis’s crew? As interesting as shoving a whole bunch of OCs in there would be, I actually don’t want to, and I know some people who might want to read don’t want to see a bunch of original characters either.

I’ve been trying to find ideas on how to write this au in at least 1000 words so I could post it here on tumblr, but I can’t seem to find any solid way to get me to actually want to write it. If that makes sense. Hate that this is such a cool concept, and yet I can’t seem to squeeze anything out of it other than a concept.

Lmao I think I could REALLY use some help here

hello pls nascar steve/soda headcanons (busy mostly steve) like what car would he drive and wait idk if they get to choose but also what do u headcanon that steve would drive (in like the outsiders canon not the nascar au)

ily and ur ideas pls yap to me abt them /nf

HIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYAYYAYAYAYAY OKOKOK SO FIRST THE NASCAR AU!!

Nascar drivers aren't 'assigned' a number or even a sponsor on their cars; the cars are made by the sponsors and different car producers, and the number and sponsor represent the team as a whole. Personally, I'm gonna say he drives with M&M made by toyota (just because I think it's funny and he's a chocolate fiend), though that would only be if it were modern. If it were to be in the 60s, yes, he may have a sponsor, but it would only be from small local auto shops which wouldn't even put the names of their businesses on cars. We're gonna go with a modern au because it's cooler. So we have the little M&M guys on his front hood, maybe with a light blue color scheme. As for his number, we can pretty much choose anything from 0-99, How about we go with 17? It's his age in the book, and he'd have to be aged up to be in NASCAR.

As for what actual Steve would drive? Probably a ford. From reaserch, the cheapest ford car in the 60s were the Ford Falcons, so maybe one of those? Afterall, i headcanon he collected the moeny his dad gave him as an apology and from work so he'd try and get one as soon as he could and fix it up so it'd be better than what he could get. BUT, that being said, he could have just as easily bought a broken or second-hand more expensive car and done-it-up just to say he has it.

steve randle who has a dog thats just neutral abt steve but that LOVES ponyboy

like that dog will practically knock pony down every time he sees him

maybe steve brings the dog around the curtis house when pony's having a hard time during the end of canon and post canon
