It Must Be So Bizarre For The Gang To Hear Ponyboy Complaining That Darry Hates Him. Because Compared

It must be so bizarre for the gang to hear Ponyboy complaining that Darry hates him. Because compared to all their parents, compared to everyone else in their neighborhood, Darrel Curtis is the greatest guardian to ever exist.

Darry makes sure Ponyboy stays in school (he even checks his homework!), he always makes sure Ponyboy is safe, always worries when Pony doesn’t come home when he said he would. He actually keeps track of when Pony is supposed to be home! He works so hard and makes sure his paychecks go to his brothers before anything else.

He never hits Ponyboy. Ever. (Later he will, once and only once, and he’ll beat himself up about it so bad you’d think he’d killed the kid.) He never gets drunk in front of Pony. He never throws anything at him. He never puts out cigarettes on his skin. He never kicks him out of the house. Pony says Darry “hollers” at him. They know hollering. Darry Curtis might as well be singing lullabies.

And when Darry does yell at Pony, it’s always about doing his homework and coming home at curfew (he gives him a curfew!). Not for bothering him for rides home, but for not calling him for a ride. Because he wants to keep Ponyboy safe. He wants Ponyboy to stay safe so badly that he yells at him when he doesn’t. If Darry hated Pony, he’d yell at him to get the hell out of the house, not into it; to get out of his sight, not stay in it.

When Pony gripes about how “cold and hard and unfeeling” Darry is, they’re like, what the actual fuck is he talking about? No dad or big brother in their entire neighborhood is as affectionate as Darry is with his kid brothers. Only the gang is privy to Darry hugging or tickling or picking up and carrying his brothers, but anyone can see that he’s never rough or mean to them.

And when they try to point out all this hard evidence, Pony just…..doesn’t believe it. Like he can think of some other reason why Darry does what he does.

As if they didn’t need more proof that Darry isn’t a goddamn saint, he seems to go along with it! Shortly after Johnny and Dallas die, Darry says, “I’m trying to do like Soda said and be softer on the kid.”

And Steve and Two-Bit and maybe Tim are like, softer than what?

The outsiders warrior cats Au.

Greasers are rouges/loners - stick together in small gangs and live outside but near houses and other buildings. some are ex-kittypets/clan cats.

Socs are kittypets - live in houses with two-legs, don't live in gangs but will often roam in groups

Middle class (Not that important just mentioning for clarity) are clan cats - live in large groups in the countryside, usually don't interact with kittypets or rouges

The main story is basically the same lol. Just something I came up with during art :3

edit: Made a special blog for this! I'll start posting this au there if it gets popular: https://www.tumblr.com/outsiderswarriors78?source=share

Can you imagine if Ironman 1 FREAKY Stark met Peter instead of less freaky more "responsible" tony in civil war?? 😭 oh my GOD that kid would be DEAD AS HELL

Tony eating a donut: "sorry- who are you again?"

Peter: "I'm your intern.. I have been for like a month-"

Tony nodding and not listening at all: "yeah yeah whatever- listen I have a job for you."

Peter fully believing it's superhero related: "seriously? What is it-?"

Tony: "pepper banned me from the fridge.. In there you will find a large half full bottle of the best whisky I have ever drank. I need you to use your sticky gross kid fingers and grab it for me kay?"

Peter: "okay.. what if I get caught??"

Tony: "don't. Just hurry up kid."

Tony walking into the room: "pepper says we have to bond I'm taking you to a party"

Peter: "cool!! What kind of party?"

Tony: "the kind where you wait outside and let me gamble like a normal adult, if someone offers you cocaine just don't take it, I don't wanna deal with that"

Peter:

Peter: "can we get food on the way..?"

Tony: "see this is why I like you kid"

Pepper: "Tony I fired Peter. Your a horrible influence and an even worse caretaker!"

Tony: "so you hate me"

Pepper: "no?? You just can't take children to parties!"

Tony: "But he's my emotional support child??? Do you really want me to kill myse-"

Pepper: "Tony! That is not funny!"

Tony: "it is a little bit, what was his name again?"

hey guys five tornado warnings and shelter in places and i have produced these headcanons for you (ppl are so fucking stupid omg)

darrel curtis loves tornado season bc he gets the best sleep of his life but when the tornado is actually on the ground he hates it bc steve and pony act like they don’t have the sense god gave a flee

they start panicking and acting dinky

pony: why do we have to go to the cellar it ain’t comin near us can’t we just sit in the tub

steve: well at school they just have us lay in front of the walls with our heads to the ground can’t we do that

pony: no wait dar, i need my books. yes all five what if i finish them and get bored

steve: can’t we just wait five more minutes i wanna see it move

(mandatory disclaimer: if ur looking at a tornado and it’s “not moving” it’s coming towards you)

anyways point being darry hates them both

he threatens to beat the shit out of steve and that gets him moving

but pony’s #stubborn and the youngest so darry has to leave him and walk three feet away from the house before pony starts scrambling bc he doesn’t want to be alone

two-bit and johnny like to sit on the porch and watch the tornado for as long as they can but as soon as darry starts “yeahhhh alright yall” they’re racing to the storm cellar

they’re usually the first ones down there two they Zont play about the storm i swear

once steve convinced dally to go storm chasing and mrs curtis whooped they ass so bad dallas has never watched a storm since

soon has someone says “tornado sposed to be blowin through” he’s immediately walking to the cellar

soda bless his heart is knocked out soon as the first wind touches

someone’s always carried him down to the cellar and 8/10 times it was darry carrying him
