two-bit dragging drunk dallas through the streets, laughing as the fucking guy pulled out a switchblade and jokingly held it to him, grinning "gotcha", but his laugh has totally got a nervous hint to it. "real funny dal" he takes it from him and keeps pulling him over towards the Curtis house.

finally two-bit heaves dallas onto the curtis' couch and gets poked in the side. Dallas' eyes are closed as he speaks to him "ask that chick at the bar for another"

two-bit rolls his eyes and goes to get him a glass of water. when he comes back, dallas actually smacks his ass, "thanks birdie"

"I'm not a girl!"

[two-bits-smile]

sorry for not posting but forever in love with how dallas joined the rumble anyway like thats such a fucking dallas thing to do i wouldve been so mad if he stayed put in that damn hospital even after taking two-bit's beloved switchblade while shit went down

[two-bits-smile]

you know i really liked how cherry didnt give in to dallas' flirting. i mean i know there was the whole "i hope i never see him again because if i do i think i'll fall in love" but we ignore that we die like men. i just really liked that she was confident and strong-willed and shit she threw coke at dallas! i like how it wasnt a "playing hard to get" kind of ignoring but a literally "you're a scumbag" way

Two-Bit suffers alone

@cleverclove said something really important on a post of mine that i wanted to talk about so bad. Two-Bit suffers so much on his own because he thrives off the idea that he's made for other people, specifically to make them smile/laugh. when he's alone he spends time thinking up jokes or anything funny to distract himself from the fact that he's nobody without anyone else. occasionally he'll catch himself sitting there zoning out for ages because he has nothing to do, feeling useless, it all really starts getting to him. then he goes to his little sister's room (i'm pretty sure shes confirmed to be younger) and plays dolls with her just to make her laugh and be acknowledged by somebody at least.

his modus operandi is making people laugh because he's forgotten otherwise. he never wants to graduate because he'll never get a job fooling around like he does.

after johnny and dallas died, 2bit found it really hard to stay positive. he spent sleepless, sweaty nights shaking in bed because he knows the gang will never be the same again. when he finally makes a joke while everyone's still mourning, darry tells him to shut up with your jokes for once. two-bit is bloody shattered, he gets up and leaves and goes home and he just cries. for the first time he feels useless to the gang, that not even his special ability to make people laugh no matter what worked. it reminded him of how helpless and useless he felt when his dad left him when he was younger. he was always able to cheer up his mother with his jokes and silly antics, so why was it different for the gang?

I too would go to Texas for Johnny

who wouldn't?? but seriously think about it. what an amazing friend. i will never ever shut up about this because TWO BIT MATHEWS LOVES HIS FRIENDS.

two-bit having chewed off his fingernails at the thought of losing two of his best friends. two-bit being unable to stay sitting at home and sticking around with dally because he knows dallas knows things he doesnt know. two-bit struggling to sit still anywhere while worrying that two of his best friends might not make it home. two-bit getting into a bloody fight in eighth grade in class because someone was talking smack about how some greaser killed a soc and is gonna get the death penalty. the whole thing felt like a crushing weight, some kind of impending feeling of, holy shit, i dont know how bad this situation really could be. are they gonna die? how long will these kids serve in jail? even though it constantly left a lump in his throat, he still made jokes and roughoused with the rest of the curtis gang to keep their spirits up.

two-bit mathews always puts his friends above himself.

My Outsiders Handwriting HCs

Ponyboy Curtis: slightly messy especially with the tails on his letters (eg. g, y, j, d, b, k,) and especially struggles with writing the letter f. seriously he never manages to write it in the same way twice. middle ground between soda and darry really. no preference between blue or black pen, ballpoint.

Sodapop Curtis: man's got undiagnosed adhd and is dyslexic. he has such horrible handwriting and he's embarrassed by it. uses exclusively blue pen. doesn't really keep things hes written at school, all papers got crumpled up and shoved in the bin.

Darry Curtis: very neat handwriting, can't write cursive. not slanted to any side. it looks like he spends ages to make the letters so neat but really he writes pretty fast. black pen (ballpoint) "darry can you write my school assignment?" "no soda, your handwriting's too messy, your teacher will know right off the bat it wasn't you who wrote it". neat line through mistakes.

Dallas Winston: fanciest handwriting of the gang full stop. he literally can't even fake it to be messy (messy handwriting looks tougher). i HC him to have ocd lowkey. he also writes slowly, focused with his tongue sticking out slightly. black ink.

Johnny Cade: teeny handwriting, slanted to the right. blue pen? two-bit hates him for it because he can't read his handwriting. blocks out words he spelt wrong and wastes lots of ink by doing so.

Two-Bit Mathews: BIG HANDWRITING. adhd kid and y'all know it deep down. i read some HC where 2Bit can't read cursive but writes cursive anyway and ive decided to adopt that hc. when he was little he got through pages and pages of writing and thought it was really impressive when really his letters pretty much spanned whole pages. still struggles with spelling and messily scribbles things out.

Steve Randle: probably pretty average-to-messy. not too horrible and it passes the can-two-bit-read-it test so its valid. likes blue pen but black isnt a big deal. exclusively ballpoint pens. crosses things out with a line through

Cherry Valance: cursive, loopy handwriting. she kept on practicing it when she was younger so she could be one of those girls with the prettiest handwriting in class. at school she uses black ink but for non-school things she uses red. hates making mistakes in her writing, uses the 1950s version of Tipp-Ex: Mistake Out. basically she's gotta be the perfect girl.

should i make visuals of these handwritings??

if tim shepard ever comes round askin' for dally you never know if its cause he wants to knock his teeth in or catch a movie with him. so you always just say you aint seen him, just to be on the safe side y'know...

[two-bits-smile]

most people who arent real close to them are really confused on what kinda relationship dally and tim have. because one day dallas goes to buck's complaining about how tim cracked his ribs and tim's spitting at the mention of dally's name but the next moment theyre practically sharing a cigarette and clinking their beer glasses together laughing at their jokes

hc that tim shepard has like the most crooked nose (from being broken so much) but also his jaw clicks when he eats and like his bones are just generally quite clicky

Thank you, anon!!

Steve Randle Headcanons

—warnings: mentions of family problems, anger issues, injury, and a sprinkle of violence because outsiders

Steve is absolutely addicted to adrenaline. He loves driving fast in cars, jumping off stuff, and fighting because of the rush he gets from it.

He likes adrenaline somewhat because of his anger issues, which leads me to my next headcanon…

He has anger issues, because of his home life. All his life he has been around a constantly angry father, which caused him to become an angry person because it became normal to him and because he was treated so badly by his father.

He has his eagle tattoo because of a bet. A buddy of his bet him he couldn’t drink a certain number of shots before himself… Steve lost. So, to his buddy’s tattoo artist friend they went!

Steve is one of those people that is practically unable to get sick. He may use it as an excuse to get out of something like school, but he is never really sick.

He once got sent to the principal’s office because he got too aggressive during dodgeball. </3

Steve is reeeaally good at cheating on tests. He has never once been caught. Evie is always telling him that he should use his brain to do well on the tests, not come up with creative ways to cheat. But, it’s Steve, what’re you gonna do?

Speaking of which, he tends to use his intelligence in negative ways, like picking locks, hiding from the cops, sneaking out past curfew, etc etc

The only thing that can really calm him down when he is angry is when Evie comforts him. If she can see he’s getting riled up she will stroke his hair or his cheek to help ground him.

He will never ever disrespect a woman, even if she has pissed him off or is a soc. This man drinks respect woman juice on a daily basis. If he does get upset with a woman, he will punch the object nearest to him, but he will never take his anger out on her, verbally or physically.

The reason his front tooth is messed up is because he jumped off a moving car when he was twelve and hit his face on the pavement. Luckily that was the only damage done, besides a few cuts and bruises. He has no regrets tho.

It probably doesn’t help his already damaged dental health that he bites people. Oh yeah, he bites people. Specifically people he’s fighting. The amount of socs that have left rumbles looking like they were attacked by a dog is astonishing.

He is allergic to cantaloupe. What a memorable date with Evie that was when he found out.

He despises the color pink. Whenever someone points something pink out to him, he physically cringes.

He doesn’t like speaking in class. Even though he will most likely have the correct answer or do well on a presentation, he is self-conscious about the way he speaks because all the socs pick on him about it.

Two-Bit Mathews loves his friends

thats it. thats the post. kidding

i'll never shut up about how much Two-Bit loves the gang. he offered to be Pony's personal bodyguard, said he'd babysit him, gave him money for a bus, said he's buying for everyone at the movies, and lets not forget that he was going to GO TO TEXAS TO LOOK FOR PONYBOY CURTIS AND JOHNNY CADE. and when he hugged Pony so tight he made him fling the eggs everywhere. the "he's just a kid!"

TWO-BIT MATHEWS IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS EVERYONE TOGETHER

i think the book said it was Johnny. i beg to differ. i bet you anything that he's the only person who can make Dallas genuinely laugh. goes down to the gas station and hangs out with Steve and Soda. makes Johnny laugh so hard he forgets about his home situation. brings Darry "gifts" he swiped.
