edit. guess who’s fucking in love with the concept of latino italian-american modern!johnny!! did you guess me? if you did,, huzzah. youre entirely correct
warnings. mentions of abuse, cussing, bullying, etc
side note. these are modern hcs
- he’s a mess in the kitchen & he’s not crazy about cooking tbh? because his mom used to make him do it all the time so now it bothers the shit out of him
- his stomach is a fucking black hole tho. this boy could eat for years
- he doesn’t like reggae/reggaeton music because his mom used to play music in the house and he can remember times she would hit him when certain songs were playing
- a lot of hispanic boys end up playing sports and i gotta say this kid is phenomenal at soccer
- dally used to make jokes about how johnny was “exotic” (because he’s dallas and we all know we would) until cherry was hanging around with them one day and he said something about johnny’s ethnicity and cherry told him to watch his mouth
- if anything he just makes more jokes
- whatever gets her more fired up
- johnny doesn’t mind it even though everyone thinks it’s fucked up sjdvjdn
- johnny speaks spanish!! literally i love my bilingual baby boy oh my god
- it works out well because he keeps up this image of being very pure and soft because nobody knows that when he stubs his toe he’s yelling “BALLS”
- he’s very superstitious!!
- i was raised superstitious, but most of the superstitions i’m used to are derived from cuban culture, so forgive me if these don’t match up with him
- i headcanon johnny to be either peruvian/columbian/venezuelan so these may not be accurate to these respective cultures
- he always has to wear socks in the house
- at this point it’s out of habit
- because in a lot of latin cultures you have to wear socks in the house because the cold floors will get you sick!! and he doesn’t want to tempt fate
- if any of the guys have a girl over at the curtis house he won’t let them set the purses on the floor because it typically means you’ll lose money
- so someone will go to set down their bag and johnny will catch it when they’re not looking, right before it hits the ground
- he makes a bomb ass cafe con leche (coffee & milk)
- his little cafecitos could stop wars i swear to god
- darry typically likes his coffee bitter but johnny always makes it sweet and darry NEVER complains bc it’s just That Good
- he doesn’t know what “no space” means
- this boy plays tetris when he’s putting away dishes like if there’s room in the cupboard for these four thousand tupperware lids you can bet he’s gonna fit them all in
- sometimes when he’s nervous she slips up and answers questions in spanish
- a couple times people have thought he just didn’t speak any english
- sometimes kids at school give him shit
- all the stuff like “go back to where you came from” and honestly he hates it but it doesn’t bother him much anymore
- like he’s heard worse so he just ignores it
- twobit’s always offering to beat the racist kids up at school though and johnny is like “nonono relax dude”
- he keeps up with soccer scores religiously on his phone during the finals
- wears his jersey on game day even if he can’t be watching the game bc he’s busy
- when he IS watching the game, him and the boys watch together (pony’s never interested and soda and steve can’t quit slap-fighting but whatveer)
- he SCREAMS when they make goals
- the guy who sort of narrates the entire game always speaks mad fast spanish and no one ever knows what the fuck is going on
- sometimes johnny even gets lost
- johnny and darry can have little conversations in spanish because darry took two years of it in high school
- don’t get me wrong darry sounds VERY white when he speaks it
- and he doesn’t know much of it
- johnny’s regular phrases include but are not limited to: “ay dios” (oh, lord) “no me digaaaaa” (gossipy, like no way/don’t tell me!!!) “ya no puedo mas contigo” (i cant with you)
- the boys do NOT understand his culture’s food but most of them love it
- soda: “why do you eat bananas with meat?”
- johnny: “why do you eat jelly with eggs?”
- soda isn’t skeptical though he’ll eat anything and steve and two-bit are right there with him
- darry will have to cook the food with johnny’s recipe because johnny doesn’t like to cook so
- johnny will be helping him prepare the stuff to make it and he’ll be like
- “hey, darry, man, what spices do you got?”
- in the end latino johnny is a blessing & i love him :) thanks
