I made a part 2 for the gen z outsiders headcanons :):
THE OUTSIDERS AS GEN Z: PART 2
Kids at school blast ‘pink pony club’ at Ponyboy when they see him walking in the hallways and it sends him spiralling
Dally has multiple banned TikTok accounts with names like user283911194 and videos that get taken down for offensive language, discrimination, drugs, weapons, nudity etc.
Two-Bit is constantly commenting stuff like FREE DALLAS 🇺🇸🫡 🐦🔥 UNBAN MY KING ‼️👑😔 on them
Pony’s always unconvincingly lying to people that he has a girlfriend who ‘just goes to a different school’
Johnny watches TikTok storytimes back to back and is insanely up to date on internet drama
Two-Bit is a kleptomaniac (as in canon!) and shoplifts in the Disney store on the weekends
Steve, Darry and Ponyboy all treat(ed) gym class like the Olympics
Dally’s insta bio is just:
snap: dallasw1nston
Provoke society
Darry makes morning protein shakes for himself and Soda. He once gave one to a hungover Two-Bit, who to Darry’s dismay threw it straight back up
Dally will randomly turn up at the school in the middle of the day and take Johnny out of class to go joyriding. He’s banned from the campus so he just stands outside the perimeter and frightens people passing by.
On these occasions Johnny will sign himself out at the school office where he says completely deadpan that he’s going for ‘driver’s ed’
Two-Bit went to the Storm Area 51 event in 2019 and still insists to anyone who will listen that he saw aliens
Darry tried to get Pony to download mindfulness and meditation apps to help him sleep but ended up just using them himself
Everyone loves crappy reality TV and it’s the only genre (except action movies) they’ll all agree to watch
Whenever someone drops their expensive car for repairs at the DX, Soda and Steve take selfies inside and post them pretending the car’s their own to ‘attract girls’
Dally always buys steals vapes for Johnny but refuses to get any for Ponyboy despite his begging
Two-Bit is insanely brainrotted and Soda’s not far behind. Their conversations are insults to the English language.
Johnny loves Grammarly and persuaded the school to pay for his subscription as part of his IEP
Soda believes that Sabrina Carpenter is the love of his life
Steve is terrified of furries
Darry and Ponyboy are the only two who use punctuation correctly (victims: Soda, Johnny, Steve) or at all (perpetrators: Two-Bit, Dallas)
Dally breaks into concerts and gets filmed being thrown out by security
Steve is a permanent victim of fake news
Johnny’s insta stories are just of him wandering around places in town, petting dogs, sitting (hitting his vape 😔) in the park etc.
Darry always swipes up on them asking Johnny where he is and what time he’s coming to the Curtis house
Everyone piggybacks off Darry’s Netflix account
Caffeinated energy drinks are a sore subject in the Curtis house
Lmao😭😭😭 these are actually lowkey funny😭 Dallas being a menance in both canon and modern universes my beloved lol. Rip Darry Curtis, you would loved Celciuses (totally not projecting lol)
