2015 Matt Dillon How I Love You

headcanon that Dallas and Steve purposely refer to Pony as a 13 year old solely to piss him off:

Steve: “hey dal what month is it?”

Dally: “idk go ask the 13-year old”

Pony: *throws lamp at them*

Y2k Fashion Inspo

we’re forever young in paradise

as long as you got a chevrolet i will ride ♡

When people mischaracterize Dally I feel like he’s either watered down to be this secret softie OR he’s made out to be the worst most degenerate most horrible man on earth.

He’s, at his core, a traumatized and self-destructive seventeen year old boy. He’s not a big bad guy but it’s not like he’s a perfect angel victim either. He hurts and degrades people so that he can feel assured in his own strength (safe, in other words. It’s the only way he knows how to live). He has no guidance in his life, he’s surrounded by other hurt teen boys who probably enable him (NOT THAT THAT MAKES THE GANG BAD EITHER).

What I’m trying to say is I don’t think he’s neither good nor bad. He’s done bad things, but that doesn’t make him a bad person. He is good to the people he cares about, but that doesn’t make him a good person.

(I would like to clarify that I use the word “mischaracterize” loosely. This is just my opinion and I don’t mean to say that anyone’s interpretation of a character is wrong or bad. I don’t think there’s necessarily any right or wrong way to view a story or character. At least most of the time) (also all the text is bold bc I’m writing this w/o my glasses and I cannot fucking see)

hiii!! i LOVE your writing and was wondering if you’d write for steve randle (the outsiders)? if so, could you do general headcannons? thank you!

general steve randle headcanons

୨ৎ steve has an incredibly high spice tolerance and willingly seeks out those “spiciest burger in all of tulsa” promotions just for the spiciness.

୨ৎ both him and soda hate horror films because they genuinely get scared—they’re the type to scream and flinch their popcorn up in the air when there’s a jumpscare in a theater.

୨ৎ steve loves true crime documentaries (no, i don’t think they existed during the 1960s, and if they did, they weren’t popular at all, but i don’t care).

୨ৎ he finds it hilarious to randomly shove and kick the back of people’s knees, but when they do it back to him, he flips.

୨ৎ he loves and has a collection of hawaiian shirts but would never admit that to anyone except for soda after one too many cases of beer.

its disgusting how much i need him

went to the outsiders house museum today 🤗

Malum Incarnatum (Out of the Ordinary World, 2024)

OC INTRO PART I !! — Kennedy Siblings

leonard wayne kennedy jr.

first son, first grandson, first child. he was born with all the pressure of succeeding.

and he did.

straight A+s (100% or higher)

QB of the school's football team, got into varsity in freshman year

4.0 GPA

36 on the ACT

5s on all AP exams

Valedictorian

1600 SAT

Graduated at 16, got into Harvard.

He's basically the "burnt out gifted kid" who never really had the chance to burn out. he didn't let himself. he just kept going and going and going until he got where he was expected and beyond.

He doesn't really care for fictional things such as movies or stories or even fictional books. Even when he was in elementary school, he would always check out books from the non-fiction section.

The only fictional books that interest him are the classics.

Not very much of a smiler.

He was always an older brother/authority figure to his younger siblings. As the years went by he just kept losing his inner child and was basically forced to mature by the time he got to 5th grade.

He gets frustrated at people who don't use common sense.

He is a very "you have to see it to believe it" type of person. So in his mind Santa Claus isn't real. Neither are unicorns or fairies. :(

He won't tell anyone but he LOVES American folklore. It's probably the only story he could listen to again and again without pointing out how unrealistic it is. (examples: Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Johnny Appleseed)

He doesn't really tolerate crying. It makes him uncomfortable and he doesn't know what to do or how to comfort the person crying. So he just walks away.

He's never really free to do anything.

He's hardest on Nate & Marion but in different ways.

In high school he was actually quite popular.

He's always in a rush. He gets an assignment, it's completed before class ends. He's always packing up fast, walking fast, he studies for tests fast. Hr has never had a problem with procrastination.

He drinks his coffee black.

He hates sugar, hates anything sweet. Dark chocolate is the way to go for him.

He's one of those people that texts with punctuation and proper grammar.

andrew robert “drew” kennedy

3 (almost 4) years later drew was born!!

don't ever call him andrew.

he hates full names. he will call you a nickname even if you don't have one.

he only really calls people by their full names when he's upset at them.

he believes that everyone has one soulmate whether that be romantic or platonic.

life of the party.

reading is his no.1 opp. he physically can't sit still long enough to get past 3 words. same with movies. he has to be strapped down.

he's a people person, he might not be the smartest person but he always knows what to say to make someone feel better.

he has purple-ish eyes (think elizabeth taylor)

his inner child is also his exterior child.

he loves drag races & speeding. (monthly speeding tickets...)

he doesn't really drink but he acts drunks.

he plays baseball :>

he loves horses! he has a horse named Dippy Dawg.

he ignored his problems, and bottles up his feelings.

he needs to be positive 25/8. serious situations make him super uncomfortable.

d1 yapper. nothing can get him to stfu.

sundays are his least favorite day of the week because he tweaks out trying to sit still during the sermons.

he doesn't understand why school is so important. he believes in learning basic math & english and dipping.

he also tells everyone about how young people should party and have fun and start going to school when they get older.

he cant spell to save his life. txting him is like having to decode ancient ruins.

michael thomas “mike” kennedy

another 3 years later mike was born !!

he is the star quarterback of his high school football team, and is also the captain.

he enjoys teasing and pranking Marion but is more cautious with leo and drew.

he has a small scar on his chin from a football accident in middle school.

his favorite foods are hamburgers and steaks.

he has a bad habit of cracking his knuckles and neck.

when he goes to the gym he always makes sure to do 600 curl ups, 300 push ups, 200 pull ups, a trunk lift and back saver sit & reach that are at least 12 inches, and a flexed arm hang for about five minutes

gym bro lmao

kisses the homies gn

he's been banned from two pizza places for starting “accidental” food fights

he pretends not to care about school but always crams the night before a big test and somehow aces the test.

he refuses to take no for an answer when it comes to convincing his friends to join pickup games after school

he text replies are either lightning-fast or hours late, depending on how distracted he is by football or flirting.

he's one of those people that takes PE games seriously

he has a habit of “borrowing” snacks from his siblings without asking and acting surprised when they notice

his idea of dressing up is swapping his hoodie for a polo shirt and calling it fancy

He always insists on driving during family outings—even if everyone else is nervous about his lead foot.

he secretly has a soft spot for family movie nights (as long as it’s an action movie).

he will never say no to a dare, it doesn't matter what it is, he will be doing it
