During the Christmas season, a small sprig of mistletoe appears over the Curtis brother’s kitchen door, but with a slight rule change: instead of being kissed, anyone caught under the mistletoe gets punched. Overnight, mass war is declared.
Johnny’s living in the kitchen because he’s too scared to try and get out.
Two-Bit gets decked the most, because he keeps forgetting and brazenly walks through the door multiple times a day.
Ponyboy is climbing through windows just to avoid the door.
Soda and Steve are either bolting through doors faster than they can be caught, or trying to sabotage people by pushing them under the mistletoe.
Dally is is relatively safe, because no one wants to try taking a piece out of him; in return, he hides behind the door and wallops whoever tries to sneak through, laughing maniacally the whole time.
Meanwhile Darry is pinching the bridge of his nose, 100% done, like “guys please stop, this is stupid”
Then turns around and absolutely DECKS Steve as he tries to sprint into the kitchen.
Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl
As soon as I was reminded of this movie I just had to put Pony in the bunny pajamas lol. His dad lets him go take it off after his mom gets a photo.
Unseen is Darry and Soda collapsed on the floor and laughter. Pony never lived the Christmas of 1960 (or 62 depending on timeline) down. Ever. But they never told the guys, it was their personal thing to torment him with lol.
ahh! ahhhhh! sodapop curtis! he watches cartoons when he's feeling down! he can fall asleep anywhere! he loves all animals ever! he's an incredible liar! he's a terrible driver! he can cry on command! he wears his emotions on his sleeve! he's got a middle child complex! he's kind! he falls in love easy! he can talk for hours about horses! sodapop curtis! ah! ahhh!!
Personally I LOVE that S. E. Hinton confirmed that Ponyboy was exaggerating about Soda’s real name, and that it actually is just Soda, because that means every time someone calls him Sodapop, it’s the equivalent of Johnnycakes. It’s a pet name. An endearment.
Soda and Johnny are the only characters in the entire story who get those kind of nicknames and IT’S SO CUTE SHUT UP
i cant hold it in anymore!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1 i <3 johnny cade so much, could you do some hcs for him please?
Johnny Cade Dating HCs ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
Johnny Cade x Fem!Reader
୨୧ : What I think dating Johnny would include 😋
A/N : He’s so gorgeous it makes me sick, also sorry this is kinda short
˖⁺‧₊˚ 🦴 ˚₊‧⁺˖
୨ Ppl need to stop mischaracterizing him as an innocent femboy puppy twink I’m gonna cry
୨ Anyways
୨ Watching stray cats together and labeling each one as the gang members
୨ ^ Dallas is a black and hissy one 😇
୨ There’s literally no doubt that he stays at your house almost all the time
୨ Definitely has a room of his own or just sleeps on the couch
୨ Stargazing every few nights in the lot
୨ He learns a lot of the constellations from some book Pony had lying around to try and impress you
୨ He’s an insanely good listener
୨ If you need to pour your heart out and rant or simply gossip about something, he’s your guy
୨ He never interrupts- not just because he’s quiet, he’s just taking it all in and being respectful
୨ He always stands up for you whether it’s to some rando, Soc, or one of the guys bothering you (even though he def gets nervous the same way he did when he stood up to Dallas for Cherry)
୨ But like he doesn’t care because it’s you
୨ He whistles random tunes to try and help you sleep and also just in general when he’s bored
୨ He cannot take compliments for the life of him (using the word life lightly)
୨ He either just brushes it off or gets awkward
୨ Say anything about his looks in public and he gets sheepish and starts kicking a rock LMFAOO
୨ He ties you makeshift rings out of flowers
୨ He always asks you for permission before doing stuff like kissing, etc
୨ Helps you tie/untie your shoes even if you’re perfectly capable
୨ He does random stuff for you without any hesitation
୨ Oh you dropped a pencil? He’s got it. You take him shopping with you? He’s carrying the bags. You want something that you’re definitely closer to? He’s getting it for you anyways.
୨ There’s a lottttt of comforting and reassurance being done considering all he’s been through
୨ You and Two-Bit would gladly join eachother in yelling at or fighting his parents
୨ You always patch him up after he gets jumped or has altercations at home
୨ He usually just lets his wounds heal by themselves, but nope, you make him let you help
୨ Anyways, you’re one of the only people he can fully relax around without feeling constantly on edge
୨ Like you see that boy with his shoulders slumped and stress free- very rare occurrence
୨ Sometimes you beg him to not put grease in his hair so you can freely play with it
୨ He’s a little shy most of the time but the longer you’re together he gets more sly
୨ He’s taking after Dallas…
୨ Like he musters up the courage to do the stupid arm around shoulder thing while you guys are watching a movie and thinks it was so clever
୨ He’s constantly admiring you
୨ You could be in pajamas and he’d be staring, but he’ll be extra star struck if you dress up even slightly
୨ Cue Dallas making jokes about him catching flies
darry curtis x fem reader who has a SOUTHERN accent, like darrys is sorta heavy but readers is crazy and i assume him liking those kinda girls? hear me out
𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭
𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 - a little bit of a short one - currenly on a motivational streak y'all so expect me to be speeding through requests.
I am absolutely hearing you out on this
Darry definitely has a heavy accent, but the second he hears yours he’s like “shit”
He thinks it’s super hot and he is obsessed with the way you talk
He could listen to you for hours, focusing on the way you pronounce certain words and the way you drawl sometimes
The gang all tease him for how much he loves it, but he literally does not care
He’ll ask you how your day is and will listen to you ramble, just to hear your voice
Sodapop and Ponyboy will probably ask you to say certain things, and then imitate what you say when you’re not around, just to tease Darry
When y’all argue it is impossible for him to stay mad; your accent gets thicker when you’re upset and it gets to the point where he can’t even focus on wha you’re saying
Some nights, when the two of you are just laying together in bed, he’ll let your voice lull him to sleep
He’ll catch himself mimicking you sometimes, developing a habit for saying words how you’d say them
And the nicknames y’all would have for each other – that’d drive him crazy. Call him honey, darlin’, sugar, you name it, its got him flustered.
hcs of ponyboy dating the prettiest and sweetest cheerleader
Pony w/ a Cheerleader!Reader ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
Ponyboy Curtis x Fem!Reader
୨୧ : HC’s of Pony with a sweet ‘n gorgeous, popular cheerleader
A/N : Starting to do some requests again 😔 bare with me guys these are always my words before I disappear for months
˖⁺‧₊˚ 📣 ˚₊‧⁺˖
୨ NOBODY is believing his ass
୨ Like the youngest out of the gang dating a soc like you? Nuh-uh
୨ Steve is especially on his back about it; it only fuels their stupid feud
୨ Most people would assume you’re kinda mean or shallow because you cheer, but you’re really the towns sweetheart
୨ Like there are no exceptions; socs and greasers alike
୨ Your inclusivity and niceness are some of the main things Pony really likes about you
୨ Of course, your looks definitely also help
୨ He writes poems about you.
୨ He gets jealous pretty easily though, so you have to baby him a little if you get hit on in front of him LMAOO
୨ Cue you opening up your locker on Valentines Day, a bunch of cards falling out, and him getting a defeated frown on his face
୨ Anyways, your reputation definitely makes some of the bullying he goes through ease up
୨ You always defend him (nicely, of course) if you spot someone picking on him
୨ It’d take all the guys meeting you for them to realize that you’re actually a pretty good match since they were probably weary at first
୨ That still doesn’t stop all of Steve ‘n Dallas’ teasing about you being too pretty for him though (save him.)
୨ Overall, you honestly could give people toothaches with how sweet you are together
୨ Like Darry’s about to come scold Pony over homework only to find the both of you on the porch, working with your notebooks open whilst you fiddled with some of his hair
୨ He can’t even be mad because it’s so innocent and cute
୨ Sometimes though, your personality can lead to people taking advantage of you because of just how nice you are
୨ He has to reel you in and let you know which people have good intentions and which don’t
୨ Most of the time your practice takes place the same time his track practice does so you guys just admire each other across the field teehee
୨ Whenever he doesn’t have practice or plans of his own, he comes to watch you anyways
୨ Even though basically all the football players have jumped him at least once, he’ll still show up if you’re cheering at a game 😇
୨ Honestly, he gains a bit more confidence after a while of being with you
୨ He’e so smug about it too LMFAO like “yeah, I’m the one dating the prettiest girl on the cheer team 🙄😏”
୨ Absolutely rubs it in Steve’s face (or any of them for that matter) when they argue
