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!
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.
matts pictures that makes me wanna jump on him IMMEDIATELY
I love when I stare out of the window stuck in my own paracosm while maladaptive daydreaming and someone asks if I'm okay. I Unironically consider zoning out one of my favorite things to do.
if u hate dallas we're not friends.
”I hate Dallas Winston”
You see him in yourself. Nobody hates Dally unless they feel called out by his existence thank you.

Dally: Do you know that we are made out of atoms?
Dally: And atoms never touch each other.
Dally: So in my defense, officer. I did not punch this kid.
two souls are sometimes created together and in love before they're born.
