#Sodapop Curtis

[hellothereimaloser]

Curtis fluff cause all for bros being bros < 3 Also yes I'm back in the fandom for a time so if any of you got Outsiders requests you can send them to meeee < 3

(also im a big fan of hurt/comfort can't u tell)

[deathbystero]

My Outsiders Headcanons

Two-Bit is the kinda guy who, if nobody laughs at his joke, he will tell it again and then laugh super obnoxiously

Soda has really shitty handwriting and spelling. That letter he wrote to Ponyboy? Illegible, I'm telling you now.

Johnny is a cat person. I can picture him sitting with all the stray cats in the lot, feeding them scraps of food and talking to them like they're his friends.

Talking about cats, Dallas can't stand them. He says he hates them but, truthfully, he's scared of them.

I reckon he was scratched by one when he was a kid and ever since then he's refused to go near one.

Darry keeps a swear jar in the kitchen

Steve is super obsessed with his hair. Like if one strand is out of place, he has a freak out and starts throwing shit.

Soda has to use his hands to count (me too man)

Pony wears a lot of Soda and Darry's old clothes

Darry has reading glasses (try and change my mind, you cant)

Pony is defo scared of bugs. He gives that vibe.

Two-Bit is the kinda of guy to break up tension by singing super loud. Like someone could be going through a mid-life crises and he just starts harmonizing in the background

I feel like Dallas really likes dogs. Like he was the type of kid who would get super hyped whenever he saw some massive badass dog.

Mrs Curtis probably had one of those kid leashes for Soda, lets be real. This boy was all bouncing off the walls.

Johnny would be unnaturally good at monopoly

I feel like Steve has definitely broken both of his arms at some point when he was a kid. My man did not know when enough was enough and was constantly off the walls

are any of these accurate? no. do i care? no :D

[tallassloser537]

listen okay-

ok this picture is just some silly lil cast thing

NO ITS NOT

well to me it ain’t

SO

i’m gonna ramble abt this now and how i see it (ik im goin into too much detail but i had this idea and my lil autism brain was like *grabby hands*)

Sodapop is covering his ears, he doesn’t wanna hear the pain his family is going through. He doesn’t want to hear the constant arguments Darry and Ponyboy are having.

Darry is covering his eyes. He’s blind to the fact his bothers are different people to him and won’t turn out like him when he’s older. He’s trying to raise Ponyboy to be like him, to be reliable and strong, but it’s not working because Ponyboy isn’t like that, and that’s what’s causing most of the problems. He’s also blind to Sodapops suffering of always having to be middle man and put up with his and Ponyboys arguing.

Ponyboy is covering his mouth. I like to think after the events of the book, he refused to speak about what happened. About Dallas, about Johnny. He wouldn’t speak a word of it, if someone brings it up, he changes topics. He’s also probably keeping a lot of secrets from the gang that i can’t remeber or i’ve forgotten. And also the fact “I can lie so good it scares me sometimes” makes sense because he’s lying, he can’t speak the truth.

anyway yeah

[matchalattegreen]

Darry: Hey Johnny you wanna stay with us tonight so you don't gotta go home? Johnny: No it's ok- Ponyboy: Come on Johnny, we insist Johnny: Really, its alright- Soda: *eyes wide and hard. Grabs Johnny's shoulders and gently pushes him onto the couch* Sleep

[chained-sweater]

Ponyboy: Of course I care about my brothers equally!

Darry: We were jumped while you and Johnny were away at the church.

Ponyboy: Is Soda okay?

[fuck-i-love-october]

Johnny is the angel(In heaven) on Ponyboys shoulder and Dally is the Devil (In hell) on the other side.

People probably think he's fucking crazy when he starts talking to himself, his head whipping back and forth to either side as he tries to reason.

That's it. That's the post.

[banjoboyscout]

I genuinely start to tweak whenever someone portrays Soda as dumb or slow

idk y ppl in this fandom hates on characters like cherry or maybe even marcia for not #stickingwiththeirman, half the gang are HARLOTS‼️‼️

[boysborntodie]

Something something… Being gold is to love the world and keep yourself open to it. Something something Sodapop ‘is beautiful and golden like their mother’ and ‘has golden hair and a bright smile* and ‘loves life and gets drunk off living’. Something something Ponyboy and Sodapop are said to look similar even though Ponyboy doesn’t see it and are often compared (esp by the two most insightful characters in the book; Cherry and Johnny). Something something Ponyboy sees Sodapop as gold and often talks about how Soda’s everything good in world while is he is blind to the fact he is gold and good too. Something something Ponyboy decides to stay gold while Sodapop ends the novel in a bad place and possibly doesn’t stay gold (or was never as gold as Pony thought he was)

[lunaandstarrs]

joe (soda) cool

[marmaladedcroissant]

Hear me out: We stick Darry in a time loop where worse and worse things happen, before it gets to the point he no longer cares about the fact he’s in a time loop, so when he accidentally breaks it he has to relearn how to live not knowing everybody’s next move or words.

Gang thinks he’s a little too mentally unstable and then they all slowly start to piece it together, because they can see small fractures in their own reality, where they can see the loop, but not to a great extent, just small moments.

Then cocoa and blankets and a shitty cheesy movie so they can collectively panic in a somewhat normal way.

[sniffingsharpiesinachuckecheese]

drawing Johnnycakes with his big big boba pearls always really tickles my pickle

[urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites]

Johnny Cade

-he’s even more shy than pony

-“It’s ok sir, please, take your time.”

-he finally says his order loud enough for you to hear and you smile, writing on your sketchpad

-over a few weeks, he comes to the restaurant more

-and you eventually ask him out, writing down the question on your notepad, ripping it out and giving it to him

-Reading: Johnny, would you do me the honor of going on a date with me?

-what takes you by surprise is when he stands up, grabs your waist, and kisses you in front of everyone in the restaurant

-earning a few cheers and whoops

Sodapop Curtis

-he starts coming to that restaurant far more often and notices when you start coming to his gas station more often

-doing the same things to him, calling him sweetheart and winking whenever you check out

-it’s a mutual thing, a flirty joke between the two of you

-but one day, he decides to ask you out, and it becomes less than a joke

-you two start dating and are very cute together

-you both rant about customers being rude and kind of mutually understand the power dynamic in a way not many people do

Darry Curtis

-he’s out in the resturant with Sodapop and Ponyboy

-when he sees youre the waiter he instantly feels embarrassed of ponyboy and soda

-“Darry, why? You never act like this at restaurants.” Pony would ask

-“Just…. Stop. There’s someone I want to look good in front of.”

-“OoOoOOh someone has a crushhhhhhh.” Sodapop would tease

-he’s always believed that you were pretty and given you discounts 

-and you do the same thing for him at your restaurant

-it’s a mutual kind of cute thing that you guys both do to each other

-even if he hadn’t already been giving you discounts for cars, you would’ve probably given him a restaurant discount too

-You are probably friends for the longest out of the gang

-and starts heavily, flirting, offering you a cigarette

-you chuckle and grin at him “Take it outside, Curly.”

-and he comes back in and this time, you ask him out

-he’s pretty protective once you two are dating and everyone’s astonished to how he pulled you

[matchalattegreen]

Curtis Brothers: "Speak up"

"Soda will you drive Pony to school?"

Soda took a breath. "Dare, I'm gonna be late to work."

Darry rolled his eyes. "Get Steve to cover for you it's not that big of a deal.

"But-" Soda began then sighed. "Ok, I'll drive him."

Soda was used to being pushed and pulled around to do all sorts of things. Drop Pony off, fix the car, unclog the sink, polish the windows. He never got a break. He's sure if he spoke his mind he could get out of it. The only reason they made him do it was because they thought he didn't mind. However, deep down, the pressure was building in his chest and Soda just wanted it to stop.

After he dropped Ponyboy off at school, Soda drove to work. His best friend Steve was waiting there.

"Hey Sodapop," Steve greeted with a smile. Suddenly his smile faded. "What's wrong Soda, you look kinda down."

"I'm just-" Soda had to stop. He was about to crack.

Steve put an arm around him. Steve was the only one that knew how much this pressure was getting to Soda.

Soda began struggling to breathe. His breath came in sharp, rapid gasps. Then came the tears.

“Hey Soda, it’s ok just take deep breaths and let it all out,” Steve said in a soothing tone.

Soda continued to cry and hyperventilate. “I do this all the time… I don’t know why…”

“Shh, shh,” said Steve. “It’s called an anxiety attack. You’ve had too much pressure on you lately and it’s causing you to crack. It happens to the best of us. You’ve just got it real bad lately.”

Soda tried catching his breath but it was getting harder and harder.

“Hey it’s ok,” said Steve. “Deep breath in, deep breath out.”

Soda inhaled slowly until his lungs couldn’t be filled anymore. Then he slowly let it out.

“Good, good now do that a couple more times,”Steve encouraged.

Soda continued to breathe in and out until his breath was slower and his tears were almost gone.

“There you go, it’s gonna be alright buddy,” Steve said, rubbing Soda’s back.

Suddenly they heard another voice. “Soda you forgot your lunch at home!”

It was Darry. He froze as soon as he saw Soda’s state. “What’s wrong little brother?”

Soda was about to brush it off and saw he was fine but Steve gave him a look saying to let it out.

Soda took a deep breath. “Darry I’ve been really stressed out lately. You make me do so much because you think I’m fine with it but actually, it’s been giving me a lot of anxiety.”

Darry looked surprised. He wasn’t expecting to hear this from his little brother.

“Oh I’m sorry buddy,” he said with sympathy. “Why didn’t you say anything before?”

Soda sighed. “Because… I was too afraid to speak up.”

Darry nodded. “Well I’m glad you spoke up little buddy. We'll try not to put so much pressure on you anymore. We just kept doing it because we didn’t think you’d mind. You kept all your true feelings bottled up. But now that we know we’ll try to do better. I’m sorry.”

With this Darry have Soda a tight hug and Soda returned it.

“I’m glad I spoke up,” Soda said.

“I’m glad you did too,” Darry said with a smile.

headcanon soda’s gotten so used to sharing a bed that he can’t really sleep if he’s by himself.
