stimming hcs for the outsiders characters bc i do half of these and i want to imagine fictional characters doing it too
darry:
- the invisible piano thing, where you play the piano in the air along to the beat of whatever song you're listening to, if that all made sense
- i think he'd do it even when he wasn't listening to music, like he'd just wander around the house looking for something, playing the invisible piano as he walks around
- i think he'd also crack his joints and his knuckles a lot to stim as well
- he probably got told off for doing that one a lot when he was a kid, all the adults telling him he was gonna end up with arthritis if he kept it up
--------------------------------------------------
soda:
- twirling/pulling on his hair
- when he was a kid he used to pull out big hunks of his hair but as he got older he stopped that and stuck to just windin some strands around his fingers and tugging on them
- he also strikes me as the kind of person to bite his nails a lot, sometimes to the point where they bleed, if he's really nervous or upset
-------------------------------------------------------
ponyboy:
- rocking back and forth
- snapping his fingers
- always rearranging things; if he's anxious or excited, he's always wandering around, moving things, even if nothing needs cleaning up
-----------------------------------------------------------
johnny:
- making little chirping noises occasionally
- drumming his fingers on his legs when he's nervous
- just randomly biting anything and anyone
-----------------------------------------------------------
dallas:
- repeating anything he hears and thinks is funny over and over
- stomping his feet when he's excited or frustruated
- clicking his teeth, idk how else to describe it, but it's this very specific noise i've heard people make before
-------------------------------------------------------
two-bit:
- clapping
- flapping his hands
- chewing on his pens when he's thinking
-----------------------------------------------------
steve:
- clicking his tongue
- grinding his teeth
- scratching his arms
I might make a second part to this if people enjoy it and if I feel like it
