About this… blog…? I guess I’ll introduce myself. Hi, I go by Darrel. I like football (my team won state) and going to the gym and.. cooking? Honestly I don’t have a lot of time for hobbies.

Not really sure what I’m doing here, but I was convinced by my sister Ace to make this.

I work a lot roofing and taking care of my kid brothers, so I might not be around here much, but I’mma try to answer questions if y’all have any. As long as they ain’t crazy personal… I guess I’m a pretty private guy.

[pepsi-cola-boy]

[ask-darrel-curtis]

All respect to the twins but I’m still raising Soda(and the rest of the gang), y’all.

[ask-darrel-curtis]

When you get a sec, I need to talk to you about Dally’s dog ~ @theyoungestofthethree

What’s the matter?

[the-johnny-cakes]

Oh, wow. Congrats, kid! I’ll see what we can do about findin’ you some insurance, how’s that?

so i was kinda thinking and it’s just now hitting me that i’m gonna be an uncle to two kids who i’m gonna be helpin’ to take care of and they’re gonna be livin’ with us all the time and i’m freaking out help ~ @theyoungestofthethree

's gonna be real different, that's for sure. help...how?

[theyoungestofthethree]

I don’t knooooow. Just—what if I’m a bad uncle? Mom and Dad didn’t have siblings, so I dunno what uncles even do. What if I mess up? What if I mess them up? Or what if I come home from college and they don’t even remember who I am? I’d just be a stranger livin’ in their house!

[the-johnny-cakes]

relax, darlin', ya ain't gonna be a bad uncle or mess them up. and it ain't like your brothers wouldn't still talk about ya when you're away so don't think you have to worry about that either

[theyoungestofthethree]

I really hope you’re right. I just wanna do right by the kids and Soda and Cherry and Darry. We don’t have a lotta family left, ya know? I need to make sure I’m good enough

[ask-darrel-curtis]

Hey, you know how excited Soda’s been tellin’ me he is for you to be an uncle? You’ve got the biggest heart out of all of us. You’re plenty good enough and plenty bright, baby. They’re going to love you.

[theyoungestofthethree]

You really mean all that? No joke? I—I really hope you’re right, Dar. I ain’t ever taken care of kids before, and I’ve got no clue what to do

[ask-darrel-curtis]

Ain’t I always right, Pony? I’m Superman. Soda ain’t got a clue what he’s doin’, neither. You just focus on your schoolwork an’ Johnny. You’re plenty a help, kid, but they ain’t your babies, aight? Don’t put more on your shoulders than you need to.

[theyoungestofthethree]

(smiling a little) Hmmm, you’re definitely Superman, but that don’t mean you’re always right. I know they ain’t mine, but I still wanna, I dunno, step up? Make sure I’m pullin’ my weight? Or at least make sure I don’t make things harder than they need to be

[ask-darrel-curtis]

Oh, yeah? What have I ever been wrong about? I know my li’l brother, I’m sure you’ve got the receipts. Is that the lingo? C’mon.

You step up plenty. You quit worryin’ your li’l head. [grins] It ain’t got enough room for all that worryin’ along with your math formulas an’ essay topics an’ how pretty your li’l boyfriend is, aight?

[ask-darrel-curtis]

now that the babies are here if ya ever want me to try an’ stay with the matthews or dal or somethin’ i can. know it’s already real crowded and don’t want to make anythin’ harder for y’all -@the-johnny-cakes

Are you kiddin’? ‘Less there’s some real reason besides you feelin’ like a burden, then nah, not a chance. You’re my kid too, and I reckon you’re the most sane in this house. It’s gon’ be all hands on deck with these kids. I want you around ‘till you and Pony up and go, aight?

[the-johnny-cakes]

…guess not a real reason then, no. thanks, darry. promise i’ll help out much as i can

[ask-darrel-curtis]

Look, you don’t gotta break your back to earn livin’ here, neither. Er, you know what I mean. Poor choice of words. Point is, just havin’ you around is more than enough. Just keep doin’ your work on gettin’ better.

*looks at your last reblog* you have a surprisingly dark sense of humor (not a bad thing, i promsie)

Did y’all forget my parents died and I’ve had custody of two teenagers since? ‘Course I do. How the hell else would y’all cope?

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
