#johnny isn't really giving greaser which sucks

[outsidersheadcanons]

how often do the greasers cry? How would they deal with their get crying or sum?

Darry

He cries a lot actually, but never at home. Sometimes he'll leave early for work and instead of going to the company or a job site he'll pull into a parking lot and just. break down. By the time he gets to work his face isn't puffy anymore and he can go on with his day (but one time a man saw him crying in the truck and asked him if he was OK. Darry was embarrassed as hell but he still sat with the man for a while, who after seeing how young Darry looked asked him if he wanted to sit on the curb w/ him.)

Soda

Soda cries the normal amount ig?? he tries really hard not to do it in front of Ponyboy or Darry, so it's usually in the shower or in the DX bathroom. Sometimes he still breaks down in front of them though.

Ponyboy

Like every 2-3 business days 💀 (but give bro a break!! he's traumatized and he's literally 14 (and guys that age are dramatic as hell anyway). But he cries whenever he's sad, angry, confused, scared, etc. Most of the time it's over homework or just. frustration (one time he was getting stressed over homework and he started full on. sobbing bc he realized the sweatshirt he was wearing was too hot (same bro same).

Johnny

He can probably count the amount of times he's cried in his life on one hand. When it does happen. I feel like he's more confused than anything? He's just not used to it at all (and it scared the hell out of the gang when it happened.)

Steve

I feel like he's an angry crier (which sucks because he has like. really bad anger issues). So he does cry a lot but it's usually in private. But Steve HATES crying. It makes him more upset than whatever made him cry in the first place.

Two-bit

He cries like once a year maybe??? And usually it's over TV shows being cancelled or girls dumping him (excluding when Johnny's mother yelled at him in the hospital. Johnny's mistreatment makes Two-bit cry a lot, but usually when he's thinking about it on his own. It's the unfairness of the situation that frustrates him, and how little people seem to care)

Dally

Dally doesn't cry often. He usually just. goes straight to yelling and being violent whenever he's upset. He could probably count the times he's cried on one hand, like Johnny. He never cries for himself either (Johnny dying being an example).

Hear me out Sarah Screams,Johnny spirt, and Operetta listening to music on a record player

This was more meant to be a character design challenge, but now that I have their designs down, maybe I'll revisit your idea! As for now though, here's Scarah And Johnny!

I'm gonna put this under a read more because in turned into a lot.

For Scarah I tried to lean a lot more into the 60's mod fashion for her, and tried to limit the olive green in her clothes (I always though it was kind of an odd choice)

I don't really ship her with Invisibilly. They always seemed to be together out of convenience rather than actual attraction. Scarah isn't really into the dating scene, but she does have a not-so-slight crush on her beastie Iris, and can't stand seeing her with that meathead Manny Taur.

She's very studious, and tutors the underclassmen at Monster High. As such she becomes quite close with Twyla, and the two bond over their introverted natures, though Scarah does want to break out of her shell a bit. She learned telepathy so her peers wouldn't freak out whenever she opened her mouth, but somehow the rumor spread that she could actually read minds, so a lot of her classmates still avoid her anyway. (Huh, wonder who spread that rumor...)

Regardless she still has her beasties Iris and Hoodude to depend on.

Now onto Johnny

Dude is a super loner. It could have something to do with spending so long in detention, though rumor has it that he was always that way. The only monster he seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with is Operetta. Anyone else, he'll only hang around to get something out of them. (He'll tolerate Heath for a few moments if he forgot his lighter at home)

That cigarette does nothing for him. He only smokes them to look cool. He'll tell anyone who asks that he died from lung cancer and then blow smoke directly in their face. No one knows if its true or not, dude lies all the time.

Everyone refers to him as "Johnny Spirit". Operetta is the only one who just calls him "Johnny".

I don't know why, but I feel like he and Romulus would have beef. For whatever reason they just don't vibe, and everybody around school is just waiting for them to brawl. As a proud pack leader, Romulus hates how much of a lone wolf Johnny is, and Johnny just doesn't respect his supposed role whatsoever.

He also finds Spectra incredibly annoying, as she's always trying to dig into his business. He has a mild respect for Toralei, but rejects any of her efforts to become friends. Other than Operetta, Invisibilly is the only other monster he regards as something close to a friend. He finds his pranks entertaining and will try to get in on them from time to time.
