dating dallas winston headcanons

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ a/n : aghhh first post on here!! lowk kind of nervous, but i thought this would be a strong way to start since everyone loves dal <3 i really hope you enjoy lovelies !! requests are open ! ( not proofread btw, ignore any mistakes <3 )

- dating dal is something special, because he doesn’t really do long-term

- so people know that you’re different, a girl he actually wants to keep in his life for a while

- it’s electric, to say the least. it’s hard to keep your hands off each other

- even in a non sexual manner, he finds himself always wanting to touch you in some way

- keep in mind he is much less than a gentleman, forgetting to open doors for you and not bringing you flowers on dates

- but he cares. and that’s something

- small gestures like a hand around your waist or always keeping an eye on you at parties. brushing down a fly away piece of your hair with his hand, making sure he’s on the side of the sidewalk closer to the road, to keep you safe.

- that’s how you know he cares about you, not through grand, movie-like gestures

- sometimes he cares a bit too much, getting too overprotective

- some drunk guy talks to you at the bar? he mysteriously leaves with a black eye. and god forbid someone touches you in a manner he doesn’t approve of, someone might be ending up in the hospital.

- you get into arguments about that sort of thing, saying he’s being too dramatic or that you were capable of defending yourself.

- actually, you get into arguments about everything

- he’s usually the one to start them. if he’s in a bad mood, he will find anything to argue about. wether you teased him and he took offence, or you stole his jacket because it was chilly

- he’s defensive and cocky, and will not end an argument until he gets the last word in

- maybe muttering some rude name at you under his breath, or interrupting you until you finally give up

- you should not expect to win any arguments with him and his stubbornness

- he’s not gonna apologize either, unless it’s something really serious, like if he made you cry

- then he’ll ghost you for a few days, then come back and apologize

- other than that, most arguments either end in cuddling or him ghosting you for a week or so

- speaking of cuddling, he only really likes it whenever he’s tired or tipsy. he’ll lazily wrap his arms around you in bed, and keep you there. there’s no way you’re getting up

- rubbing your back with his hand, holding you to his chest, planting kisses on your head are normal occurrences during these peaceful moments

- cuddling him is about as rare as the northern lights, so you take advantage of it

- other than that, most nights end in make-out sessions

- sleepy kisses are his absolute favourite, his lips lazily caressing yours

- he’s always in control, don’t even try

- his big hand holding your head in place, and his other hand holding your waist

- he loves kissing you. everywhere he possibly can. head, lips, cheek, forehead, neck, shoulder, everywhere.

- he loves making out at the drive-in (or more cough cough), it’s so risky and he looooves PDA

- he often takes you to the drive-in or the dingo for dates, nothing fancy

- he always picks you up at your house, he doesn’t wanna meet you there in case you’re first and it looks like he’s late

- the torn leather of the passengers car seat becomes a common place for you to sit, he loves driving around with you

- your parents don’t trust him or his driving, based on the amount of times dates have been cut short because he’s been pulled over and taken to the police station for speeding

- so because of your parents aversion to him, whenever he wants to visit you, he just sneaks into your bedroom

- he thinks he’s being subtle with that, but yet your parents can always smell the cigarette smoke and leather the next day

- in conclusion, dating dallas can be very layered and complicated, but overall, very fun and exhilarating <3

dating dallas winston hcs?? 🤍

ೃ༄ Cherry Waves

dallas winston dating hcs

warnings: slightly ooc, not proof or beta read, mentions of smoking

sucker for seeing you in his clothes. it feeds his ego, as well as some possessive tendencies he prefers not to talk about. he just likes to know that youre his and no one elses<3

youre the first person he calls when hes in jail. he wants you to know that hes alright, that it could be a few days before he sees you again. he may or may not try to coax you into paying his bail while hes at it, but he means well.

likes hearing you talk about your day. he’ll tease you for rambling, but deep down he adores the excitement in your voice and the gleam in your eyes. he cant explain why, he just does.

his love language is physical touch. its an easy way for him to show his affection—why waste time forming some sappy speech when he can just hold your waist or slip a hand into your back pocket?

rests his hand on your thigh while hes driving. he gets road-rage like no other, and nothing soothes him more than the feeling of your soft skin under his fingertips.

doesnt see any importance in schoolwork. if you agree to skip classes with him—which he’ll practically beg you to do—hes more than happy to take you anywhere you wanna go.

sweet when he wants or has to be. tenderness isnt his forte, but he’ll make an attempt for you.

insists on sharing cigarettes with you. he claims its easier to pass one around than waste two (in reality, he just enjoys the sight of you as he holds it up to your lips, patiently waiting for you to take a drag.)

JD with a corruption kink

before meeting him you were fairly innocent

sure you’ve had a boyfriend or two but you’ve never lose your virginity

or even kissed someone

but that all changed when JD came around.

he didn’t realize he was your first kiss until after he kissed you and you were just dumbfounded

“what is it, y/n?”

after you explained it was your first kiss he was overjoyed

the idea of him being the one to help you (or make you) slowly lose your innocence was precious for him

one time you two were sitting on his bed and he got a hard on

i mean, he’s a teenage boy, what do you expect?

“get on your knees.”

“what??”

“would you rather give me a handjob? come on, darling~”

“i don’t… um-“

“i’ll teach you”

he’d guide your hand, teaching you exactly what he likes. He would love seeing your innocent face look up at him to make sure your doing a good job

he would give you extra praise anytime he teaches you something new

“good job, my love~ your such a quick learner”

i know i said this before but if you have big doe eyes OH MY GOD he would be obsessed

he especially loves when you look up at him from your knees, that’s his favorite

he’d always be gentle at first, like when you first lose your virginity to him

“it’s alright, darling~ i’ll take it slow… your doing so good”

he’s not always gentle, sometimes he can’t resist himself and will love to see you crumble under him, crying at his touch

he would convince you it’s normal for him to be so rough, you don’t have any past experience so he must be right

[igoinsane-whenisee-rhysdarby]

Something I think about quite a lot is the dynamic between Egon and Ray. They seem like they are the type of people who had been friends for years and they definitely know everything about each other.

There were definitely many times in the firehouse when they would try to conduct a seance with just the two of them and it wouldn’t work so instead they inhaled a pack of twinkie’s between the two of them out of sadness.

LIKE LOOK AT THEMMM

thankyou for coming to my ted talk 🫶

[apoptoses]

It is #Molloy Monday and I am here to remind you that Daniel is featured most from 1975-1985 aka the Sluttiest Era of Modern Male Fashion.

Coming in HOT we have the cut off short shorts and cropped t-shirt or mostly unbuttoned button down combo. Daniel visited some warm climates during the chase years so I invite you to picture him in the tiniest ripped jean shorts sweating over whether or not that auburn haired lady down the street is actually Armand!!

Or going into the 80s sometimes the tops were REALLY cropped and exposed midrift and back!! Like just picture Daniel fucking around on Night Island in this, wow wow!!

But even when the pants were long the t-shirts were TIGHT, maximum pec definition through the shirt was a must.

If he didn't wanna show that much skin? That was fine because turtlenecks where IN baby!! These are basically vampire lingerie imo, covering up the most succulent part of the neck but still leaving a hint exposed below the jaw?? Armand had to have been dying of thirst!!!

(Also when it says Armand came to pick Daniel up from jail in a lawyer's tweed suit? He wasn't wearing no modern cut, he'd have been rocking the big lapels because this was the 70s tyvm)

Also important to note was that the 70s were the era of glam rock and androgyny, so picking a silky button down that looks like a women's blouse? Totally okay for men, very in style so long as you leave the top buttons undone to expose maximum chest.

Btw velour? Was IN. This is the 1979 equivalent of a juicy couture tracksuit which Armand could have snuggled right into while they were living in London.

And while the 80s sees the rise of a looser fit, that doesn't mean the crop top died or that people weren't still rocking a more form fitted jean when they were feeling casual.

This photo is from NYC in 1983 and shows that tight t-shirts and short shorts were still very much alive, just styled a bit differently! A tight top and looser straight leg jeans, or short bottom and a flowy open top took the place of all fitted looks.

Or that the mostly unbuttoned button down went away- if anything in the 80s the buttons went even LOWER and more revealing. Paired with a boxy linen suit this is essential 80s Miami aka Night Island looks.

and yeah that's spader, leave me alone, he's peak 80s here

This sweater is loose but it's got the deep V neck and a sheer knit, perfect for the beach!!

And yeah this is Sapder AGAIN but note the half open shirt, leather jacket, and jeans that get tighter near the ankle!! Classic 80s, baggy but still sexy, A+.

I SWEAR this is the last time I'm gonna use and abuse him but peep the muscle tank with the DIY cut edges on the arm holes! V neck! 80s!!!

Basically the takeaway here is that if you're putting them in the 80s and having them rock something baggy and double denim, the look still featured a tight waistline and rolled sleeves or rolled ankles to tighten the jeans. It wasn't just baggy all over!!

Here's some random images from the entire era to finish off:

So next time you're working on fic or art instead of just tossing Daniel into a regular old t-shirt and jeans consider doing some slutty 70s and 80s looks instead 😌

Headcanons, Being Ray Stantz's Child

gender neutral!reader, child!reader

Being born during the groups college days, and just adding a dose of daily chaos to their otherwise uneventful studies.

Three men and a baby. Enough said. It's absolute pandemonium.

Ray being the mother hen. Egon being the irresponsible father, and Peter being the fun uncle.

You have an entire family, even if not by blood.

Ray bringing you to college with him, and multitasking because he can't afford childcare.

Him using you as someone to rattle off all his theories about the occult and paranormal to before you can even crawl.

Peter uses you as a 'mini wing-man'. Women flock to him because they think you're his child and find the fact that he's a seemingly decent single dad attractive. (GIRL, IT'S THE BARE MINIMUM) Peter being himself, of course, doesn't bother to correct them.

Constant compliments being directed towards you by women, to which Peter's reply is always the same.

'Mhmmm, yeah, they get their looks from their father' *insert cocky, arrogant smirk*

Ray then reminding him that he's not actually the father.

'Oh, no, I know, I was complimenting you, honey' *cocky, arrogant smirk still in place, this smug guy knows exactly what he's doing*

Ray immediately becoming quiet and turning a bright, red colour, stumbling, tripping, collapsing over the English language, of which he's usually quite eloquent with. Then picking you up in his arms, and walking off muttering variants of profanities and insults directed at Peter

This section was greatly inspired by a ficlet my friend, @xraylovers wrote for me :) Thanks for letting me use your idea bestie.

Egon views you as a science experiment... problems ensue.

Days spent leaning over old occult books, the dusty aroma worn like a birthday badge as a testament to the age of the journal drifting into his child's face as Ray carefully reads each line.

Him having no concern as to whether this is proper bedtime story material for a 5 year old, as long as their happy, which, judging from the small inquisitive smile and plethora of questions asked, they most definitely are.

Ray is so excited to have a mini replica of him, just as interested in the occult as he is, someone to share his special interest with and experience the excitement and wonder of it all for the first time through their eyes.

Peter looking upon Y/N as his niece/nephew and calling them 'Baby Stantz' or 'The Littlest Ghostbuster' or variations upon. All the while, Y/N constantly complaining about wanting to be a Ghostbuster now.

Naturally, Peter buys a mini Ghostbusters suit with 'Baby Stantz' custom inscribed as the name tag, as well as a toy replica proton-pack. Which Egon promptly turns into a miniature, but fully-working proton-pack... until Ray confiscates it, sharing some harsh words with Egon about children's safety.

'Ray, I was merely teaching Y/N the proper way to operate a proton pack to prepare them for when they become a Ghostbuster'

'EGON! You can't give a child an unlicensed nuclear accelerator!'

Winston becoming the only semi-normal parental figure you have: Egon knows nothing about children, your dad is an extreme mother hen, and Peter is... himself.

Your dad would often take you out in the Ecto-1, wheels spinning, sirens blaring (after you begged ro have the sirens on, and every time he agrees because he has no backbone when it comes to you). You roll down the window and hold your hand out, letting the air rush through your fingers in quick succession as you take in the sights of New York City.

Despite his initial protest, when you became a little older and he realised how serious and passionate you were about following in his footsteps, your dad taught you how to use a proton pack and ghost trap (while supervised of course!) in the basement. While others your age were playing sports or video games, you were being taught how to wrangle ghosts and spirits.

Despite the dangers and challenges of being a Ghostbuster, you've always been proud of your dad and your family. They're not just heroes to the world, they're heroes to you, too.

Dallas with a shy s/o, who is almost like Johnny. Like when they are in bucks, just holding onto the back of his pants if you’re walking through a crowd etc.

This is so cute! Ahh

Dallas wasn’t new to the whole “shy” thing. You were just like johnny. Very skiddish and jumpy. You and dally were walking through the crowd in Buck’s. You were very quiet and kept to yourself. Your first instinct was to grab onto Dallas, wrapping your finger in the belt loop of his jeans.

He held you close before sitting you down in a chair next to the pool table. You cheered him on quietly as he played with a few guys. He blew you a kiss, then shooting the ball in the hole. You jumped up and cheered loudly. “YES-“ you sat down, covering your mouth in embarrassment, blushing furiously. He looked back you smiling, shaking his head and laughing softly at your cuteness. You were a shy girl. But you were his shy girl. And he loved you.

I hope you like it 🤭 sorry it’s so short

[brklynbb]

— get him back !

in which — you and dallas winston have an unhealthy relationship.

( heavily inspired by olivia rodrigo’s song ‘get him back!’ )

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

you met dallas winston last summer. your first impression? he’s cute. and your last impression? he sucks. during your short lived relationship, you were quite blinded by your love to notice all the shit he'd do.

unwelcoming brown eyes met yours from across the room at buck merrill's party . it was out of a movie. he was cute. he had short, fluffy brown hair, an alluring aura that made you want to explore every single quirk, habit, and hobby that he had. that's the charm of dallas. the one that lures girls in, thinking that if he would give them just one chance, they could ‘fix him.' unfortunately, you were one of those girls.

long story short, you're sitting at the bar, talking to a friend, when buck hands you a beer.

“i didn't order this,” you say simply, handing it back to him.

he rolls his eyes. “i know. i'm not dumb. winston got it for you.” he gestures to dallas, sitting a few stools away.

your eyes meet his once again. your lips part. why would he buy you this? he doesn't even know you. you furrow your eyebrows, confused, trying to figure out why he would do that. what he does in return is walk over to you.

he makes himself at home in the empty stool beside you. your friend receives a glare from dallas, warning her to scram, and she does. he then turns his attention to you.

“hey, honey,” he says. you notice his cute accent. he's from new york.

you smile softly. “hi.”

your eyes trace over his features. he says something to you, but you don't know what. you're too focused on how… beautiful he is. he's the type of boy who you'd pour your heart out to. the type of boy you'd write love letters to. the type of boy you see in old movies. you want to kiss his face. he entrances you.

and somehow, you don't know how, he takes you to his bedroom. and you don't know why you let him. it's like you weren't you when he was around. he was just too perfect to say no too.

you were not the type to ever hook up with someone for one night. but you did. and you weren't the type to do it again next time you saw him. but you did. and you weren't the type to let the casual hookups turn into something more. but you did.

the relationship was fun. he was so much fun. and his friends were fun, too. you never knew being surrounded by greasers in leather jackets could be so enjoyable. he took you out a lot. to parties, to dances, to clubs, to bars.

the relationship ended the next spring. he made a pass on your friend, cherry valance. then he made a pass on your other friend, marcia. then he flirted with a few girls at a bar, while you were beside him. you let it slide for a while. you were a good person, you could fix him. but no one tells dallas winston what to do. when you told him how you help, he was awfully dismissive, and denied everything you said about his wandering eye. the breakup was bad. he's got a temper, to say the least. it turned into a yelling match, (mostly from his end), which turned into the eventual breakup.

you don't know if you love him or hate him. you still want to kiss his face. you still want to write him love letters, and pour your heart out to him. you also want to uppercut him, and key his car, and turn all his friends against him. you want revenge. you want to miss him and cry in your pillow. you want to kiss him. you want to carry on with your life. you want to get him back.

Dead Poets Society and what their favorite 80s movies would be

including my reasons for why :))

Neil Perry / Indiana Jones

Neil would watch this movie and all he would take away from it was another cool teacher that not only knows his shit but goes on awesome adventures and he’d dream of being him

Todd Anderson / Gremlins

Todd would not only relate to the uniqueness of the main character but he too would also be the only person capable of befriending a random animal while also unintentionally starting a rabid attack against his town

Charlie Dalton / Roadhouse

Charlie would WORSHIP Patrick Swayze, literally kiss the ground he walked on. Not only that but he would adore his tough and take no shit personality and dream of getting to hit people and not get in trouble for it

Knox Overstreet / Can’t Buy Me Love

Knox ever the romantic would look at poor dorky Ronald who is falling over his feet to help a girl he barely knows and relate to the character completely. He doesn’t care if it’s a chick flick, he watches it any chance he gets

Steven Meeks / Weird Science

a movie about two super smart guys scientifically creating their dream women from a barbie doll. He’d grab Pitts and go ‘when do we start?’ (side note a Meeks and Pitts Weird Science AU, obsessed already)

Richard Cameron / Top Gun

You cannot convince me otherwise that Cameron would be a war buff. History through and through and respect to any form of service a man can do. He would watch Top Gun and wish that was him. He would also partake in war reenactments but that’s a whole other story.

Gerard Pitts / Footloose

This man wants to dance and Ren Mccormick would be his idol. Pitts also dreams of being the sole hero to bring music and dance back to his small town and bagging the prettiest girl in school.

[shiberamune]

some personal breakfast club hcs because im feeling sad and this movie is my comfort rn :) <3

-john pierced his ears himself, it is miraculous how they arent infected

-claire secretly likes weird-ish stuff like allison, she wants a pet leopard gecko and she likes snakes too

-they all let each other bunk at each other's houses if they need to, like brian will let john stay at his house if his dad's being a prick, or andrew lets allison spend the night if she just wants to get out of her house

-my personal hc of their lives afterwards? they all live together and help each other get over the familial trauma/problems they experienced

-brian is a pokemon fan. i know pokemon didnt exist yet in the 80s but i know he would be one. and he always picks grass starters

-allison steals stuff for the others 24/7. claire wants a necklace? it's in alli's purse. john sees a cool switchblade he wants? alli's in the process of shoving it in her shoe

-andrew one time wore a dress from claire's closet to see what it would be like and john caught him. john, of course, never shuts up abt it

-andrew is the mom friend. i just feel this in my bones.

-and john is the most protective. he will find someone's house if they pick on allison or brian. only he can do that

-they all played spin the bottle one time, and this led to andrew and john having to kiss

-they liked it. they never told the others.

-brian will help the others study. he saved john's ass from flunking school as a whole

-they're all very physical with each other. always giving each other hugs or little affectionate touches. john and allison are weird about it at first, so the others take their time with them

-andrew has a guy purse

-since the movies take place in the same universe/school, i like to believe brian and cameron from ferris bueller's day off are friends

-same for ferris and andrew, or claire and sloane

-allison likes to blurt out weird/grim/niche facts she somehow knows from time to time and the others are just like "neat, thanks queen"

-john likes system of a down. again, not from the 80s, but im projecting here

-every friend group needs 1 dr pepper obsessed friend, and that is allison

-claire somehow convinced john to let her do makeup on him. he said he'd only do it if she bought him beer or cigarettes after

-john and andy are brian's wingmen. if he thinks a girl is cute, john and andrew are already plotting how they'll get brian to talk to her

anyway, that was a lot sorry 💖 idrc if not a lot of people see these, this was mostly just to make me feel better. but also i like providing for this somewhat small fandom :)

ೃ༄ Be My Angel

ponyboy curtis dating hcs

warnings: probs ooc, not beta read, incredibly messy lolol

lets you borrow his books after he’s done reading them so you can give them a try. its his own subtle way of showing affection; theyre his pride and joy, and hes basically telling you he trusts you with everything when he gives you them.

draws you all the time. he has more than a few pages on his sketchbook dedicated to just your face, your different expressions, all of your emotions, and so on.

makes you paper butterflies and cranes during class sometimes; might also doodle on the margins of your notebook if you let him.

lots of study dates. he helps you prepare for any upcoming exams, and takes you out to unwind afterwards.

likes it when you watch his track meets, and also likes seeing you do any extracurriculars youre signed up for. hes your biggest fan, always telling you you did a good job and pressing sweet kisses to your cheek.

his love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. he compliments you a lot throughout the day, and goes out of his way to spend most of his free-time with you. he might even sneak out on school nights just to go to your house (or try to, at least. darry always catches him in the end.)

if youre into gossiping, hes always glad to engage in some with you. he picks up a lot of information from dallas and two-bit, so he usually has a lot to add to the conversation. on days where he doesnt, hes happy to simply listen to you talk.

loves reading to you, will do it whenever you ask with absolutely no complaints (bonus points if you lay your head on his chest or shoulder<3)

[hugs4jd]

JD x overworked reader

finals are coming up and obviously you are TERRIFIED.

you thought you were hiding it well

i mean… you weren’t hanging out with JD as much because you were studying

and you were kind of… distant… emotionally

but jd wouldn’t notice, right?

…

he did

somehow

“why are you still awake, darling?” he would say right after he breaks into your room at midnight to catch you studying

no response would be good enough for him though

he would probably think it’s kind of cute, tbh

but also get a bit worried for you… never show it though

he would probably force whatever you were studying with out of your hand and turn on some music

the smiths or queen probably

and then he would just hold you

you would probably be exhausted from studying all the time so i could see him encouraging you to sleep

…or forcing you to sleep with a couple melatonins in your water

either way, he would hold you until the morning comes and check in on you to make sure your not too stressed<3

if you ever tease him about how caring he’s being he’ll hate you for a bit though

Platonic Stevepop ❤️

The Valentine's Day after Sandy dumped Soda, Steve went all out in getting Soda stuff...

- A mixed bouquet of Soda's favorite flowers (courtesy of Evie's spying skills)

- A grocery bag full of candy, Steve might've eaten a few pieces

- An entire day just going wherever Soda wanted to go (they rode the carousel at the park more than once)

- Steve gave Soda a card that said 'worlds best friend' written in it

- And they went to the local Dairy Queen to get ice cream

- Steve got a decent sized teddy bear for Soda on the way home

The rest of the gang just thought all of the stuff was from Soda's many admirers, so no one questioned it.

(I have an obsession with Stevepop, platonic or not I frickin love them) (Evie spent the day with her mom- plus they had been planning this for months, she was 100% on board with the whole idea)
