Thinking About Darrel A Couple Years Post Canon. How He’s Doing His Nightly Stuff, He’s Cleaning

Thinking about Darrel a couple years post canon. How he’s doing his nightly stuff, he’s cleaning up dishes and then doing laundry and then, right before he’s about to go to his room to get some sleep, he turns. He turns and he’s met with the sight of Ponyboy. He turns around and he looks at his little brother and he realizes something. He’s no longer looking at the toddler and little kid who used to follow him like a shadow. He’s no longer looking at the twelve year old who was suddenly really attached to Soda. He’s not even looking at the fourteen year old who’s been to hell and back. Instead, he’s looking at this kid who’s almost seventeen. He’s looking as his brother stands in the hallway and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. He looks at his tall, lanky, and more grown up little brother. He actually has to stop himself from tearing up a bit when he sees him. Because looking at him reminds Darrel that his baby brother really is growing up, he’s growing up and Darrel is so damn proud of him for it. He’s so proud and so grateful that his baby brother was capable of continuing to move forward even when the world seemed to take everything from him. So when Pony opens his mouth to say something, he can’t even get a word out before he’s suddenly crushed in a strong embrace from his oldest brother. Pony’s confused because he was just coming in to get some water then go back to bed and now his brother is crushing him in a hug. But then Darrel pulls back and puts a firm hand on Pony’s shoulder and just says “shit, you’re really growing up on me, huh” and once again, before Pony can even respond, Darrel is moving to continue to his room, before he turns and says one more thing “I’m proud of you kid. And hey, don’t forget to turn that light off when you’re done”

one of my outsider friends was telling me how they headcanons steve to be into tattoos !! (you know who you are.)

so that got me thinking that steve is secretly a good artist and is surprisingly good at copying down references. also the doodles on his homework/notebook/papers from school>>>>>

POV you’re Mrs. Curtis 1950s-mid 60s. This is a regular occurrence

Imagine just having a gang of little boys bring critters into your home constantly and you don’t even know how they manage or where they’re even finding them. Darrel sr. Is not helping. He is encouraging this.

Possum, raccoon, rabbits, armadillo, squirrel somehow, stray dogs, coyote they thought was a dog, probably would do a deer or a mountain lion if they could

Just converted and mud holding some poor creature like it’s a caught fish way too proud of themselves.

Johnny’s best with rabbits. Dallas would fight a bear given a chance . Steve can and will wiggle himself under a house after something .Twobit would jump in a river. Pony is good at climbing and fast. Soda does good calls. Darry tracks and knows basic animal facts.

darry was always overprotective of his baby brothers in school. he’d play with them at recess all the time and would tell everyone to go a bit easier on pony because he was littler than everyone else (and in my headcanon was born prematurely and had muscle issues and problems walking as a kid), he’d sit down with soda at lunch and help him with his homework so they could play when they got home. the both of them were really upset when he went to high school cause they were stuck in middle/elementary school but he’d still walk with them to school, even if it made him late for class.

big brother darry we love you

ok i should yap about jimmy my lovely boy i love him

- he doesn’t really like “jimmy” he’s too old for it now but it’s been his nickname ever since kindergarten so its js kinda his forever name

- i should make a playlist for him hehehe. probably mindless self indulgence, guns n’ roses, 2pac, sir-mix-a-lot, eminem… etc

- rip jimmy you would’ve loved saying “ts pmo” and “syabu”

- he says he’s straight, might be bi, is actually gay.

- he doesn’t really care for girls or women. not in a rude way, he just genuinely doesn’t really feel attracted to them.

some guy: “look at that chick she’s smoking hot”

jimmy probably: “yeah, did you see her boyfriend?”

um lol

- but he’ll never on his life admit he’s never had a girlfriend because every time a girl asks him out he makes a lame excuse as to why he’s busy

- he definitely is the “only i can hurt them” type of person towards people he cares about

- if he sees his friend hitting on a girl someone he’ll js kinda silently dip like a ghost like yk that one meme where the guy does the peace sign and fades away

- that’s him

ok this is all i have for now now i have to go run a mile wish me luck ahhhhhh

“Do I look like a farm boy to you?”

yes Pony. You’re wearing a flannel shirt and jeans, you’re chewing on a piece of grass and already have a slightly farm-ish accent. As opposed to Johnny, whose hair is very obviously slicked back, wearing a dark shirt and jean jacket, and has a pretty obvious scar on his face.

so, yes Pony. YOU DO LOOK LIKE A FCKING FARM BOY

thank you for coming to my ted talk.
