As a fanfic request, could you write a modern au where the greasers go to starbucks and each one of their orders are wrong/spelled wrong

I just feel like Dally might go crazy if they put ice in his pink drink

hi anon! I am SO sorry this took me so long, my writer's block literally slapped me in the face and held me down. well, here it is! I unfortunately got writers block again half way through, so i will edit this once I write Johnny and Pony's, but yeah!

also, disclaimer: i have never set foot in a starbuck's... it just never appealed to me, so I had the menu tab up for like three weeks straight... but uh yeah... here ya go!

warnings: swearing, sexual innuendos, Dally being a jerk

Darry:

It had been a long day, and God, he really needed a coffee.

His brothers had both spent the entire day texting him just to seem busy - Soda to get out of flirting and Pony to get out of talking to his classmates.

He simply needed a dark roast from Starbucks, and probably a long ass nap, before he exploded.

Stepping into the foyer, he went up to the counter, smiling at the worker. “Hi, could I please get a dark roast coffee?” he asked politely.

She nodded, darting away. “Name?” she asked over her shoulder.

“Darrel,” he answered, not really paying much attention.

He waited patiently for his coffee, smiling gratefully when the barista handed it to him. He paid and left hurriedly, wanting to get home so he could collapse in front of the television and fall asleep listening to Soda’s cartoons.

It wasn’t until he was in the car he took a sip of his drink, and he damn near slammed on the brake.

What the hell?

Holding the cup up, he narrowed his eyes. They spelled his name wrong (they usually spelled “Darryl”) but that wasn’t unusual, he didn’t bat an eye at that anymore.

No, what had him considering turning the car around was the fact the drink was painfully, obviously not dark roast, but some other type of coffee he’s never had any interest in trying.

Cursing, he shook his head.

The girl had seemed frazzled, and he was tired. He would just go home and put on a pot. It wouldn’t taste nearly as good, but he just wanted to get back (preferably before one of his brothers decided they should cook dinner themselves). So he set the cup down and drove home, giving the coffee to an already hyper Soda and making a pot for himself.

He didn’t go to that Starbucks for a while after that.

Two-Bit:

The lack of alcoholic drinks at Starbucks did deter him. He preferred beer over tea, but he couldn’t deny the baked goods the place sold were pretty good.

He would drive, but Darry had very firmly informed Two-Bit that if he ever set foot in the car while drunk with any intent on getting behind the wheel again, he would skin him alive before burying the body.

Realistically, Two knew that Darry was joking, but the boy could be real scary when he wanted to be, and Two-Bit actually liked having skin on his bones, so he was not going to test him.

So he walked - albeit bitterly - to the Starbucks across the street from the Curtis house, mentally cursing the exercise he was getting in doing so.

Upon entering the coffeehouse, he noticed several cute girls at a table.

He ordered a ham and swiss croissant, his eyes focused on the blonde girl sipping from her cup.

He distractedly took the croissant before he grabbed a chair and brought it to the table. He sat with a grin.

“Hiya, ladies,” he said, winking.

Two of them rolled their eyes, but the blonde grinned at him.

He ate slowly, dragging out the conversation with the hot girl in front of him before she left with her friends.

It was only then that he noticed his croissant tasted a bit funny. Looking down at it, he was surprised to find it was buttered, not ham and swiss.

He stood and went to the counter. “Hey, doll, you messed up my order.”

“You ate it,” she said, not sparing him a glance.

“Yeah, I’d eat it,” he said flirtily, smirking at the barista. “Wanna spread-”

She turned, her cheeks red, hands on her hips. “Get the fuck outta my sight, Two-Bit.”

Two-Bit huffed, crossing his arms. “Who’s gonna make me? You messed up my order, doll.”

She grabbed a ham and swiss croissant and shoved it into his hands. “You’re drunk. Go home, perv.”

So maybe the barista was his girlfriend, she still coulda spared the lecture on treating workers properly once she got off work.

But she did make sure after that to always make his order correctly.

Dally:

“What the fuck is this?” Dally spit, holding the cup away from him like it was poisoned.

It probably was.

“Your drink?” the barista said, furrowing her brows as she stared at him. “Strawberry creme frappuccino.”

“I ordered vanilla bean,” he snapped, slamming the cup down. “Not this fruity shit. Are you fucking stupid?”

She hesitated, frowning. “I’m sorry, sir. I’ll make you a new one right away.”

“Yeah, you better.” He leaned against the counter, watching her work. 

Yeah, okay, he was being a bit of a dick, but, contrary to popular belief, he was just naturally a dick. He was honestly dialling it back - if only because Darry had threatened to use his skull as lawn decoration if he did another stint in juvie before his credit card rolled over.

She worked swiftly, making his coffee and sliding it towards him. “There you are.”

“You spelled the name on it wrong.”

“I did?” She turned it to look. “I spelled it exactly how you said, sir.”

“No. I said it’s spelled D-A-L-L-Y. You spelled it D-A-L-L-I. I won’t pay for a coffee that doesn’t even have my name on it.”

“I’m sorry,” the girl said meekly, her hair falling into her eyes as she took the cup back. She crossed his name out and rewrote it.

“You made the cup look ugly.” He snatched the cup and took a sip. “You fucked it up again. I ordered it without ice. This has ice.”

“I’m sorry,” she repeated. “Uh, it’s on the house. I’m very sorry, sir.”

Dally scoffed, turning and stalking out with a small smirk, one hand holding his strawberry creme frappuccino and the other holding his vanilla bean.

It worked every time.

Steve:

In all honesty, Steve didn’t care much for Starbucks. He didn’t have a drink preference, nor did the food seem at all appealing when he could be eating Soda’s homemade chocolate cake for free.

However, he couldn’t resist heading over after trying the caramel apple spice Soda ordered.

He leaned against the counter, smiling at Evie. She worked as a barista, but she refused to take his order because he would spend the entirety of her shift flirting with her.

She blew him a kiss, heading to the backroom to grab more ingredients.

“Your drink, sir,” the barista said, snapping her fingers in front of his face.

“Sorry. Thanks.” He took it and took a sip, sighing in satisfaction as the taste hit him.

He turned to leave when he noticed the spelling on the cup. “Stevie Randel.”

“You spelled my name wrong. Like, really wrong.”

“Steve,” Evie said, her tone warning. “Just drink your apple juice and stop complaining.”

He shut his mouth, giving the barista a dirty look as he handed her the money.

If Evie wasn’t there (and 80% percent of his impulse control (Soda was the other 20% but his impulses were just as chaotic as Steve’s so he didn’t count)) Steve would have thrown the drink in the barista's face.

“Stevie Randel” his ass. Fucking idiots…

Sodapop:

He often accompanied Johnny to the Starbucks, partly because Johnny didn’t like going by himself, partly because Pony liked to go, and mainly because Sandy worked there and he would sit there, watching her flirt with guys that weren’t him.

It broke his heart, and often led to him going home to cry in Darry’s arms, but he needed the reminder that he wasn’t enough for her, that she found comfort in another man’s arms and bore his child even when Soda was ready to give up everything for her.

Trailing behind his brother and friend, Soda listlessly ordered his drink, watching as Sandy gave her phone number to someone he recognized from school.

He picked up his drink and sat down, sipping his milk. Ideally, it would be chocolate milk, but Sandy’s friend, a new worker, was adamant it wasn’t on the menu.

He didn’t know what made her dump him, but he had an idea it stemmed from his lack of attention.

He finished his milk and left, following Ponyboy and Johnny out to the car. He lifted his cup to study the doodles Evie liked to draw on his friend group’s cups, and frowned.

The new girl was the one who wrote his name, since Sandy still couldn’t look him in the eyes and refused to help clarify how to spell it.

He frowned and showed it to Ponyboy.

“Sota Pop Curtis” was written on it.

Ponyboy tilted his head. “How’s about that, Sota.”

Soda grinned, ruffling his hair. “You’re a menace, you know that?”

“Made you laugh.”

“Everything makes him laugh,” Johnny pointed out. “Soda’s almost never without a smile.”

“I think you mean Sota,” he corrected, causing Johnny to roll his eyes and Pony to snicker.

Yeah, he could work with this.

Thalassophobia comics soon?

Hello! Thank you for your question <3

I post new pages of Thalassophobia according to my regular posting schedule, which is to say on Fridays or Saturdays depending on when I remember

That being said, I am overjoyed to hear that there's interest in the rest of the story! Monster High and its characters have been a huge inspiration for me these past few years, and I had a lot of fun working on this project... So I hope it's just as fun to read, especially for anyone else who loves these characters as much as I do! Stay tuned, I promise it'll be out soon!

[el-perro-rabiosa]

Hey my frænku sent me some pepper cookies and while they're good I'm trying to go easy on the sweets for the next weigh-in you want some?

— @ask-shadow-medic-soli

Söli! I've never had pepper cookies before, but I'd love to try some. Drop by my office, we'll have them with coffee. Or do they go better with tea?

Gracias, amor.

What is the most romantic gesture your OC has ever performed? Alternatively (or additionally), what romantic gesture would they most like to perform?

Not so much one gesture as a series of events. Micans was invited to a party in Ishgard, and though they hadn't known each other for long he brought Solis with him. He made Solis a formal outfit, made sure Solis would be turning heads all night, but one particular man made Micans feel so jealous.

So he snuck out of the main hall with Solis, danced with him alone to the distant music, and confessed his love then and there. Both were a little tipsy, a little more unrestrained than normal, but their feelings for each other didn't change in the morning when they woke up in bed together.

They have a long road ahead of them, though, and I'm sure there will be many more romantic gestures they'll perform. He hasn't had the opportunity to give it to Solis yet, but Micans crafted a gunblade that can enchant its own ammunition, meaning Solis can use it even when there's no one around to do so for him. Micans used his own Crystal of Light as the power source, in fact.

And thank you to @captainqster for letting me use one of the extras from one of their gposes <3

Elias: its pride month. You know what that means.

Audric: what- what do you mean? Do I make rainbow fire?? Become a gay reaper? Beans, explain!

Elias: lol

-----

Elias: butterswitchs, its pride month. You what that means!

Maia: huh??? What???? Do I make gay potions??

Elias: hahaha ha!

Dunno if pride month exists in the Veil but eh.

To be entirely fair, I do think Maia makes gay little potions whenever possible. Lovingly hand crafted! Though it's funny, Audric was initially planned to have a same sex love interest during older iterations of planning, but the character he was being set up with never ended up working out... largely because a different character rode in on a tractor and snatched him up like a damsel (distress not required). He *is* canonically bi though. So he can be a bi reaper. A breaper if you will.

Nyarlathotep: You’ve met with terrible fate, haven’t you Carter? ;)

@hiyorisarugaki asked: 🍊( threat )

SEND ME AN 🍊 AND I'LL TELL YOU IF MY MUSE WOULD PEEL AN ORANGE FOR YOUR MUSE

Ichigo would be SURPRISED to have someone like Hiyori ask him to peel an orange. He'd be casually taken aback but yes, yes he would peel that orange for her. Course he'd grumble while he'd do it, something about how he knows she'll kick him through a wall if he doesn't peel it "correctly."

Hi there 🌼

I hope it’s okay that I’m reaching out. My name is Rola, and I’m a mother of two from Gaza. Life used to be simple—filled with laughter, home-cooked meals, walks with my children, and ice cream on weekends. But since October, everything has changed.

We lost our home in a bombing. One moment, we were sipping coffee on the balcony… the next, the house shook, windows shattered, and our world collapsed. We had to flee with nothing—no clothes, no toys, no sense of safety.

My children still ask about their beds, their books, their quiet little room. I don’t have answers. All I can do is hold them and keep going.

We’re now raising funds to evacuate—or, if returning becomes possible, to rebuild. I just want to give my children a future that isn’t defined by fear and loss.

If you’re able to help—by donating or even just sharing our story—it would mean everything 💛. Your kindness can bring us one step closer to healing.

Thank you for listening. And if you'd prefer not to receive messages like this, just let me know and I won’t reach out again.

With love and hope,

Rola | @rolafamily 🤍

Sending prayers

Are you going to change your signature on all your art given your name change?

I don't think so! That was the name I used when I made them, so I don't think it's inaccurate. Plus updating all those drawings and reuploading them would be such a painnnn

I DID use the mass tag editor so all my art posts are tagged as "solstrix draws" now

I'm glad you brought it up though! I was wondering if I should make a note of it somewhere, like in my description or something, just so people are aware... I'm taking this as a sign that I should!

Thank you for reaching out! :>

I think the kids probably spend a lot of time trying to casually pry personal info out of Solis and it just does not work. He's not accidentally revealing anything that isn't just normal info you could get online or from the staff info list. They are constantly trying to get him to say how old he is and he will not give them a single clue.

Some 14 year old: Master you're like 40 and you're not even married :U

Solis: No comment on the age guess, but the second part is because I'm not allowed to be married. (::

Like 50 teenagers: WHAT WHY

Solis: Because I'm an Apostle and I serve the church. The same is true of my Saint.

Kid: ok but no one would want to be married to him so that's fine how old are you btw

Solis: Nice try! We're not here to learn about me.

Kid: that's so mean...

Solis: Yes, true. I'm extremely punishing. (If you run your laps now, we can wrap up early for today.)
