woah I forgot I wrote this one shot but it’s twobit themed cause I feel like his character resonates with me. but then it’s like “woahhh I wrote that?” and for me that’s “he took the silver all his life, wanting nothing more than to get that gold”
now that was definitely me projecting.
But now I wanna write smth else twobit centric. (we’re gonna ignore the incomplete works for a while let’s ease into the writing fr)
lemme know if anyone out in the world wants smth two-bit centric cause like I’ll take prompts frfr
It’s TIMEEEEEEE
Self promotion cause I’m rereading my own fic for inspiration for the next chapter lol (also cause I kinda forgot what happened 😭) and here are some things I thought were funny 😭
Basically my cracktastic textfic out of context.
Link if anyone’s interested lol
Brothers au Christmas hcs cause I’m sick and I need smth to do (and I love Christmas and we just got snow) 😓🥳
Dally is actually pretty good at wrapping presents
He learned from Darry
Who learned from their parents.
Dally uses his money from work to buy gifts for his brothers
They’re actually very thoughtful but on Christmas he shrugs it off as just something he saw
Like if ponyboy mentioned some book
Dally will remember
Ponyboy gets stressed about gifts because he feels like his brothers are hard to shop for.
He needs it to be good
And it totally is
He’s even got Steve like wow you got this for me ponyboy?😍🙈
Steve in turn gets gifts that are really good without even trying 😭
He’s like “here” and they’re like “wow this is so nice of you 🥹” and he’s like “damn it is?”
Soda would make them take Christmas pictures cause that’s what they used to do with their parents
Soda would also be the first one to wake up (he would barely sleep he’s so excited)
He would be so impatient lol
Since pony doesn’t sleep like ever, he would hang out with soda until everyone else woke up.
Darry is grumpy in the morning cause his beauty sleep got interrupted so he makes soda go make his coffee 😭
Steve has chocolate for breakfast (same girl)
He shares with two bit
Reluctantly
Cause he’s a big back
Johnny is focused on the Christmas movie in the background.
Does buddy know he exists 😭🙏
He’s so grateful for his gifts
As if he’s surprised they went out of their way to get him something
He is also so proud of his own gift giving
Pony tries to play Christmas songs on the piano
When he misses a single note he slams the keys
Darry’s all like “there there, let ME try” and then COOKS
Ponyboy takes this time to go with soda to make dinner
…in a few words they end up needing the fire extinguisher
So they just go out to a small restaurant
And after they leave they make the last minute decision to buy some Christmassy flowers
They stop at their parents graves and leave the flowers and some words
No dry eye in sight
But that would be denied by a few.
They go back home and put in a movie
Hot chocolate 🤩
And beer 🤩
And they fall asleep and dream about sugar plums fr
the first chapter of a certain au (within another au) has been released by @wannabe-goth-babe and I. maybe stop by every so often :D
for all my two-bit kinnies such as myself who feel like this on a daily. especially if you feel like you dont have the right. i see you.
I'm literally sick for the third day in a row (how Ponyboycore of me 💁🏼♀️)
Can I get some brothers AU stuff about my boys to get me through this trying time 😭
(Real. Very real)
OFC OFC I JUST WROTE SOMETHING VERYYYY NICE 😊👍 )
more more!
Can we get a little peak at ur sick and twisted writing
ive got a prologue right here!
Can we get a little peak at ur sick and twisted writing
ive got a prologue right here!
im writing smth sick and twisted
i was just thinking ab how jaron roden and tobias are so soldier, poet, king coded. roden's the soldier, tobias is the poet, and jarons the king. I've seen too many edits perhaps but I miss this series 😭😭
Hii! Was so curious, I came across a headcanons post for The Ousiders done by you for an AU of yours? What's the AU? Are there other posts for it? And if you write/write for it, is there anything posted?
You got me hooked and now I've got my own ideas just spinning around on hamster wheels LMFAO 😂
heyyy! so the au is in au in which the Curtis gang are the Curtis brothers and are all biologically related. It came to me outta nowhere and I thought it’d be fun to explore! All the posts I know of for the au are on my page (if anyone else has done it I have yet to see!)
I have a some works on it and one longgg one in progress! I have a one shot, a text fic, and a sicktember special that I’m gonna get to uploading soon I promise (classes of all kind take up my schedule often but I do what I can even if we are already in October by the time I finish lol. You can also send in a request!)
And if you do have any ideas of your own for the concept, feel free to explore it! I’d like to see works from other writers and how they go about it! I dare y’all, accept my challenge if you dare.
to anyone under the age of eighteen who has seen the outsiders musical how did y'all work it out with your parents/guardians because i wanna go see it so bad while its still the og cast on bway but likeee idk how to convince them it'd be worth it, especially since I haven't gotten the opportunity yet to see a BROADWAY show specifically as someone who grew up telling everyone I knew that i'd be on Broadway someday.
anyways mb so that was actually kinda a rant and I'm kinda being extra but still-
daily occurrence in the curtis household, gang (also me projecting the songs that have been stuck in my head all day) (new chapters in my fics coming soon!)
I'm writing the stuff for my latest collection of oneshots (sicktember) if like anyone is reading and im sorry for the wait but ive got class and stuff so it might take a little while but IT IS IN THE WORKS :)))
(anyways anyone got any interesting outsiders fic recs that maybe by some miracle i havent read yet)
chapter 7 woop woop woop- just me? ok lol
(feed my urges give me ideas im eating it up over here)
they are chaotic so there is gonna be fire with them in every universe.
cross our fingers that darry won't find out...and not just ab the fire ;)
im usually not very good with requests... *proceeds to write 2000 words in a chap for a chat fic* this dont usually happen even in prose yall 😭
but this chap goes with the hc that pony and twobit are theatre kids so i think that was a catalyst for me to go overboard
Excerpt:
And Ponyboy just took another bite out of his apple, the taste seemingly more rotten. He looked down at it, and saw that it’s perfectly fine. He took another bite, although more aggressive. He couldn’t help but wonder that maybe his brothers didn’t want to be around him because of his mind and the rotten thoughts it brings.
Pony breathed and then checked the time. He and Johnny had to be at school within thirty minutes, but the ride there only took ten, so he decided not to worry about it too much before just finishing his breakfast in the form of an apple.
The boy got up from the chair as if he had the time and the power to mosey around all day as he walked to the kitchen to throw out the core. Pony always wondered what the deal with some fruits were. It’s always encouraged to eat fruits and vegetables, something they all learned as little kids in preschool. But only some of it. The strawberry, but not the leaves. The watermelon, but not the rind. The apple, but not the core.
Maybe Ponyboy is an overthinker, or maybe he just brought symbolism into everything, but it made him think. Why did people use earth’s resources so much, only to take what they want and leave what they can’t use? Why did people only want someone for what they can do to benefit them, but not everything when it comes down to it?
His wild thoughts were interrupted by his oldest brother handing him one of the paper bags he was putting together just minutes earlier.
“Take this Ponyboy. I decided last minute to make everyone some lunch today because someone forgot to do it last night,” Darry looked accusingly at Two-Bit who just shrugged and checked the clock before grabbing one of the bags and running, giving everyone a rushed goodbye.
Darry sighed and shook his head slightly, before giving Ponyboy his full attention. His eyes became stern as he spoke, opening Ponyboy’s backpack and putting his lunch in there before zipping it back up, “Ponyboy, you best try today, ya hear? No excuses. Now, I know you don’t want to go but you have no choice. School is required. Clear?”
As the younger met his stone cold eyes again, he tried to give a reassuring smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. He had hoped that Darry would talk to him about something else. Maybe instead of the fact that he should try, Darry could have brought up how much he did try, and how much Darry should’ve seen it through his last straight A’s report card.
“Crystal.”
surprise surprise! seven brothers content! first chap is short but this is just something chill i can update to show y'all first hand what the dynamic is...except in a modern texting era.
also if yall wanna see anything specific you can ask and i can deliverrr because i love exploring thiss!!
so im in the process of writing the fic for this idea and i have a decent outline so far for it too, but since i havent ever seen it done, i wanna know what i should zoom in on particularly character or plot wise that maybe i didn't already think of that would be good for this au
i would like to be able to tell as much of a story that i can and reach as many plot points and explore many facets of the au so i like gen need some feedback yall
ok so im gonna need all y'all to tell me if you'd be interested in an outsiders fanfic but everyone in the gang is actually related like they all grow up together. like they're the curtis gang cause they're curtises.
i wouldnt change much about them personality wise (or looks) but it'd be an interesting dynamic to explore within them all and how they're relationships would be similar or different if they're LITERAL brothers
i take back any possible comments that say they never ended up in nyc because here's what i think happened
mrs curtis grew up in tulsa but mr curtis grew up in chicago, so when they got married, they ended up there until about a year after ponyboy was born
thennn they moved all the way to nyc to live with their uncle and stuff in which dally started getting into city stuff as a young teen
their parents didn't know because dally was good at hiding things
it was only til the older guys that dallas was dealing with found dally and pony together out at a park and tried to take pony, that dal got scared and told his parents which led to them just deciding to move to tulsa entirely (they've been there before to see their relatives) with uncle jeff (who ended up staying with his parents and their grandparents for a while before moving back to the city)
living in the south for the younger kids, influenced their accents, unlike the three eldest who drift back and forth from ny to southern.
(lets pretend all of that makes sense)
for @wannabe-goth-babe who commented and i just couldn't resist making another list of hcs
since two bit is all goofy, friendly as a kid growing up to present day, he's always been close with his siblings but ever since their parents passed, he had to slow some of his bad habits to help provide for his brothers as the only other newly legal adult in his family
so while he helps (or at least tries to) darry manage all the stuff he's responsible for, he also spends his time keeping morale up while darry is busy
but steve and soda would usually already be doing something cause they're nerds (probably a whole ahhh championship for arm wrestling)
and johnny would usually be with pony since dally is often out
but when he wasn't he would sometimes be in the middle of losing to johnny in some card game
so pony would just sit somewhere and read or be at the piano, playing around with some melodies and two-bit couldnt tell if pony was lonely or just in the zone
but two still would walk over and look at his sheet music and ask him what he was playing because he would usually recognize it because a lot of the sheet music was put together by their mother who would always play it to them
and while everyone else is minding their own business, two would sit down at the piano next to pony
and pony would teach him the things their mother taught him, since two had never wanted to learn, something he he regretted after losing their parents. passing up on chances to spend time together
and two didn't wanna make that mistake again
he learned how to identify the keys and play a few chords
and two played the lower harmonies with those chords while pony played the higher melody
(guys im picturing the scene from the princess switch if you know what i mean except platonic)
(therefore lets pretend its christmas time or smth for a moment and they're playing carol of the bells :D)
and their brothers would hear and turn around and look on in amazement because respectfully, its hard to get two-bit to sit down for extended periods of time. especially at the piano.
and after they finished the song, two would ruffle at pony's hair, pull him close into a side hug and thank him for being so patient with him
and pony feels all happy since no one really had time for something like that because no one else likes music as much except darry and he always has something to do
but two-bit was always good at making him feel seen
like two bit has common sense but he's still techncially a teen so sometimes he and pony would sneak out and do silly dumb things and go to the playground and joke around before sneaking back home as if nothing happened
mostly cause two knows that pony hasn't had as many opportunities to be a real teen since he was freshly a teenager when their parents passed so two just wants to make it feel real for him
and while two is technically still enrolled in school, he doesn't have to go. so when ponyboy or someone else is sick or smth he stays home to take care of them and cheer them up so darry doesn't have to miss work
and like brother, like brother, two and pony are both insanely stubborn when they're sick and stubborn in trying to help each other so it's chaos but they make it work in the end
unlike steve and pony when they were home alone together after catching the same cold
if they weren't so fatigued and sick they would've really went at each others throats
instead it's steve laying on the couch and pony across darry's arm chair trying to figure out how the other is responsible for the cold going through their family
(they've always had a rocky relationship)
if you were to ask steve why he "hates" ponyboy
he would say it's because the kid is a brat who has it better than the rest of them since he doesn't need to get a job and get in the stuff that mostly dally gets into
but if you were to ask him on a deeper level
he would say he's jealous. because for a while he and soda were closer than pages in a book and of course after johnny was born, they were all fussing over him, but with pony it was even more since he was the littlest of the littles
and pony always had to be included and as time went on, steve not only lost attention from his brothers, but also his parents
(and steve isn't the only one who feels like this)
(cough cough two bit cough cough dally)
dally practically got over it when he got older and two bit just ignored it for so long that he just doesn't think about it.
(it was real hard for two because he and darry had been so close but he knows that everyone else is more important)
if you were to ask ponyboy why he thinks steve hates him
he would say its because steves a dumbass who focuses all his willpower into making his life too difficult.
but if you were to ask him on a deeper level
he would say it's because he thinks hes annoying and holding everyone down
that he's too sentimental and stupid for wanting something beyond a greaser in tulsa
pony genuinely thinks that darry, steve, and dally only put up with him since johnny, soda, and two-bit do
they're working on it
or at least they're going to
youngest bro of seven on the east side of tulsa vibes
like they do NOT let him do anything out of the ordinary or potentially risky
enter ponyboy's rebellious era
(this will be dived deeper into in the fic)
darry is the same except for being more cautious and protective over his brothers
soda's the same mostly with extra love warming his heart and everyone else around him
johnny still is more of a listener than a talker but he's more confident and like soda and darry when it comes to being a curtis bro
dally still has that tough exterior from his time participating in rough gangs but it's the mildest it's been in tulsa
(the curtises have lived in other places, i'll write ab more of this in a post soon)
keith daniel curtis is still a doofus
pony is mostly the same with the trials and tribulations with darry but multiplied by 6
steve is pretty chill. no daddy issues. except for the fact he's dead. just ponyboy issues. everyone else is alright tho.
back when it was only darry, two, and dally, two was playing major middle child because hes always been an outgoing kid, but dally used to be really shy so darry would always cheer him up and two would just sit there like o_o
so basically darry would always make sure dally was alright
but growing up, it became the opposite
dally usually checks in on him and stuff to make sure stuff is going well, offers to take stuff off of him like taking up more shifts at bucks so darry doesnt have to do an overwhelming amount of work
even tho darry was older by a few years, he was always more optimistic and dally hated that their parents just had to die and all of the pieces had to be picked up by darry. he was too young to have all of that on him.
so dally takes matters into his own hands sometimes just so darry gets some rest.
just to return the favor of darry always taking care of them.
love these questions!
yes, they're personalities change because they were raised differently in this au. and yes since johnny isn't in the same situation with his parents, he is more outward with his personality. way better self-esteem since he has practically a fanclub with his family in this au. very sassy. i'd also like to say he's kinda good when it comes to dating. similarly to soda. but not as obvious since he's all respectful. but he does get shy and quiet at times too. it's like a mix. depending on the day, the circumstance, and the people he's with. for dallas, he is less of a meanie since he actually has people to care about and knows that people care about him so he is softer, but he still lives and engages in the wrong stuff in town and everything with other gangs which probably leads to his seemingly/slightly cold demeanor. it does start early though, in his early teenager years. their parents just do whatever they can to help him and guide him. also side hc, their uncle (i mentioned him in another post) would sometimes babysit them. and when it was only darry, two, and dally, the older two would hang out and so their uncle would often read to dally. their uncle grew up in nyc so i like to think that dal sometimes has that accent when saying certain words because of hearing them for the first time from his uncle.
as for the book events, i think they can still happen, just differently. thats an aspect i plan on going into further in my full fic of the au (in the works 😉) and seeing how it could unfold if things were different like this (i wont kill anyone off i promise)
financially, they start off rocky since they're struggling to keep up a house of seven, but as they go and advance to new jobs they might earn enough to not be considered lower class. maybe eventually it gets to the point where they're upper middle class, but it's def an uphill battle that won't happen instantly.
o.m.g. i can assure you the johnny-pony-dally dynamic is chaotic. imagine having two great, dependable, loyal friends...then throw all that down the drain cause you actually have to live with them /j | they're very silly but also very supportive, and i can see as time goes on, the seven of them just sleep wherever there's a bed to the point it doesn't matter whose room is whose as long as they get enough sleep to not be insanely cranky in the morning
surprisingly, ive never heard that before, but it makes sense, but throughout reading the outsiders (and i know a few of my friends have this problem too) i couldn't imagine or picture a face or a person to go along with dally's description (or any of them really) seeing the movie rlly saved me there so i only really see the actors when i think of them and portrayals which makes sense in my head since they all have similar hair colors. but they prolly do have some mexican/native or whatever genes down the line or maybe in their parents so it makes sense for their looks to not stray insanely far.
ty for coming to my tedtalk! i hope my yapping wasnt too confusing but if ya wanna know anything else or wanna see anything else lmk! i srsly need more motivation lol. you'll certainly be seeing more from this au in the near future :)
ok so im gonna need all y'all to tell me if you'd be interested in an outsiders fanfic but everyone in the gang is actually related like they all grow up together. like they're the curtis gang cause they're curtises.
i wouldnt change much about them personality wise (or looks) but it'd be an interesting dynamic to explore within them all and how they're relationships would be similar or different if they're LITERAL brothers
im really glad you like it because i was worried about executing it right since it's a whole new concept that changes a lot about most of the characters.
anything in particular you'd like to see? i need more ideas to write about ofr it and the full fic that ill be writing to explore the concept in totality. i would appreciate any input!
