Loved your version of two bits sister! I actually seen some fics from different authors naming her Sue! Idk if that is like her name that everyone in the fandom calls her or Sue is just a name that sounds like it is from the 60s lol🤣. But she is adorable! A mini female two-bit is just what the world needs😆😆😆😆
Thanks, but I wasn’t the one who came up with her design and/or name, all that is thanks to the lovely @troglodytepixieeater ! Ofc I drew her bc I loved the design, but I can’t take any credit for coming up with any of the details related to her. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for enjoying her, Anon! @idunnohowtocommunicate did a great job drawing her. I’ve seen a few people use the name Sue (and a few people use Penny) for Two‑Bit’s sister, but usually she’s never mentioned again. I just ended up loving the name Susan, since it was a very popular name in the late ’50s and early ’60s.

Omg!!!! Thank you so much @idunnohowtocommunicate !!!!! This made my whole day! No! Life! Sue is so adorable and to see her next to her big brother in your art style is so amazing and cool!!!! Thank you so much I might be having something in the works as well that you as an The Outsiders lover might appreciate but that's all im going to say!!!! No guessing!!!
I followed you back so now we’re mutuals, I hope that’s ok and im not overstepping any boundaries or anything! From all the asks u sent me you seem rlly cool, so I wanted to become mutuals with you lol!
Awwww thank you so much! U seem cool too! Please feel free to follow me
I have a headcanon too! Or maybe it’s just a ship based on nothing but one sentence in the novel. I ship Keith’s sister x Pony. Does Keith’s sister have a canon age, name, or personality in the original books? Nope! But the idea of Pony having Two‑Bit as a brother‑in‑law is too much to bear.
My version of Keith’s little sister (basically my OC):
• Name: Susan “Sue” Matthews
• Looks almost scarily identical to Two‑Bit—reddish rust‑colored hair, gray eyes, a wide grin, and freckles all over her body.
• One year younger than Ponyboy.
• Smart, but didn’t skip a grade because she has a lot of detention slips. Never stops talking (just like her brother).
• Loves Keith even though he’s annoyingly overprotective.
• Thinks Evie is one of the coolest girls in the neighborhood, and Evie taught her how to do greaser‑girl makeup. Her best friend is Angela Shepard, much to Keith’s disapproval because he thinks Angela gives Sue bad ideas.
• Genderbent name: Seth.
• Always had a crush on Ponyboy, but stopped once he got into high school… and then Pony ended up getting a crush on her.
• She becomes a lawyer, while Ponyboy becomes an English teacher and part‑time author.
• She isn’t afraid of Dallas Winston and even tried to pickpocket him once. She failed, but he gave her the dollar anyway.
• How Pony & Sue Got together: After Sue’s boyfriend dumped her on prom night, Pony walked her home. Later, Pony asked Two‑Bit for permission to date her—and Two‑Bit cried a little. Happy tears!!!
• She has her brother’s nonstop chatter and chaotic charm.
This is AMAZING!!! I love this soooooo much omg 😭✌️❤️!!! (Your art is so FLIPPING adorable!!!!)
Personally for me I always hc two-bits sister as much younger than the gang, but this is such a cute idea you make have just changed my mind lol! Now I want to draw her and two-bit being typical siblings. I probably will draw them, tho it might be a while since I have a lot on my plate rn-and I’m like about to go to bed lol, but I just HAD to respond to this ask lolll.
I have no idea if you answer NSFW 🔞questions this is for when Grey, Bem, Fin, and MC are all grown and everything is consensual and ALL that.
Question:
MC sending them a sexy/nude picture to the RO is in public or at a meet? (Maybe at work or meeting)
How would they react?
I don't mind mild NSFW asks like these where it’s just lust with no physicality. I'll gradually allow more explicit asks when the characters reach standard legal age (18) in the story and they'll be above this threshold in every scenario I write before then.
Disclaimers out of the way I decided to make these full on scenarios. Surely you won't mind?

Grey looks down at their phone as it pings, thoroughly done with the entire meeting. They perk when they see it's a message from MC.
They're quickly scolded for not having it on mute and they smile back tensely with more teeth than charm. They don't apologise because why should they? Luckily the executive seems to hesitate, though they're clearly still displeased as they continue their lame ass speech.
The wait is agonising and they tap their nails against the table in an annoyed fashion.
Finally they spot an opportunity and tap away under the table with bated breath. They can't quite suppress their baffled—but delighted—smile once they see the picture.
They glance at it for a bit, eyeing MC appreciatively. Then they avert their eyes for a brief moment, trying to gauge how much time they have before another scolding ruins the mood MC instantly set.
Enough time they gauge.
They tap away, lips twitching. Cheeky… you knew I was in a meeting didn’t you... That turn you on?
The answer is near-instant and almost makes them bark a laugh out loud. They barely manage to rein it in before it slips.
A simple, resounding, desperate yes that’s never been so hot before. A second message comes shortly thereafter. Luckily Grey had the sudden urge to go on silent mode despite being uncaring of what a dumb executive thinks. They just don’t want to be interrupted now.
What do you think?
Grey scrolls up that tiny amount needed, taking a few more seconds to appreciate what a gift MC send them. And what a gift MC is.
That I know what I’m doing after the meeting.
Grey finally does what they should have done hours ago. They get up and leave; flipping the bird at whoever tries to stop them.

Finley is trying to take notes but their phone keeps buzzing in their pocket. They have a sneaking suspicion of who it could be and while tempting... Finley really should remain on task. This is an important meeting after all.
Foregoing that thought immediately when another buzz finally tempts them beyond restraint, they snap their hand to their pocket and pull out the phone under the table. The executive doesn't seem to notice.
Finley clicks open their messages and...
Their mouth drops open. Completely forgetting the meeting as their thumb swipes with both urgency and hesitation. Every picture more of a treat than the last and each one only adding to the redness of Finley's cheeks.
New messages are still coming in... slowly they make their way to the bottom again, taking in the new pictures awaiting them there. How is MC this beautiful? And all theirs?
"Finley."
Finley shoots up, almost dropping their phone. "B-b-bathroom!" They manage to squeak, rushing out of there.
They type with shaky hands as they walk.
Call?
---
Bem's attention once again slips more than they'd like. They know the executive is at their wits end with them, but they managed pretty well the first hour.
Now well past that... it's torture and the pain behind their eyes is only growing worse. They have their phone in their hand, fidgeting uneasily under the table.
Then they feel it buzz.
Pausing their ministrations for only a second, they immediately jump on this new distraction. The executive seems to believe them a lost cause anyway...
What they see next both clears and muffles their mind instantly. They stare, unable to look away even as the executive reaches another slide.
It takes them several seconds before they consider they should write something.
Gosh, MC, you didn't have to
You don't like it?
Bem scrambles to clear that thought out of MC's mind, scolding themself for quelling their instinct and not just gush immediately like they wanted to.
I love it! I love you darling. I can't wait to be home with you...
How long?
Bem feels a stab in their chest, glancing at the clock.
Too long... Send another? Pretty please?
Suddenly the meeting is torturous in entirely new ways.
Ahem.... reaction please of Short MC aggressively demanding uppies from the romanced ROs without signing cuz pick me up and love me right now dangnabbit
Grey: "What are you like five?" they snort, "I know you're short but not that short. Okay, okay, fiiine. Come here..."
Finley: "Uppies? What do you mean 'uppies'? Oh, like t-this? This is weird... You're not coming down though."
Bem: "Aww, I wanted to be the 'uppy'," they pout playfully. "Alright." Stretches their arms once, twice, enjoying how impatient you're getting. "There you go!" Spins.
---
Oh I realised I read that wrong I think. I'm assuming by without signing you mean they don't communicate it beforehand and especially not audibly. I'll do an update, give me a moment dear, sorry <3
---
Grey's would be unchanged. Seeing your outstretched arms towards them they'd get it immediately.
Finley: "What are you doing that for? What do you want? M-me? I—uh, okay." Opens arms and picks you up. "This what you wanted?" Long pause. "That's cute..." they mumble.
Bem: "Hmm... this what you want?" Spreads out their arms playfully. "I'll have to look at my schedule." Laughs when you jump into their arms, ready to catch you and doing a little spin with the momentum. "You're adorable, you know that?"
I dont know if you do scenario asks but MC being drunk and the RO's approaching them only for MC to just go off how they already have a partner (said partner is the RO's) and go off a tangent about them and absolutely failing to push them away with little force.
I do! Might take me awhile to get to them but it's fun ^^
Let's... assume MC is over the legal drinking age wherever they are (UK or US). Though I suppose there isn't much point when this IF will feature underage drinking... whoops.
---
"Get away from me! Where's Grey..."
"What are you blabbering on about? I'm right here!"
"Nyoo no... you're not *hick* you're not them... my partner *hick*."
"I'm literally your partner. H-hey stop shoving me!"
Grey steps out of the way of MC's hands despite the rather pathetic attempts at pushing them away, only to step back once their arms go slack.
"I'll admit your loyalty is sexy babe but it's also real fucking annoying right now." They grumble with no real bite and slight amusement despite their concern.
"Grey-ay-y." MC wails, crying out for them... past them up into the sky.
"I'm right here! Dumbass." Grey yells beneath their breath, lightly placing their hands on either side of MC's head to move it down.
They feel a strike of relief and adoration in their heart as MC's eyes focuses.
---
"Get away from me! Where's Finley..."
"…What?"
"You *hick* heard me! Get *hick* lost… I already have a partner…"
Finley frowns walking faster to try and step in front of MC’s staggered walking. All that earns is a shove that doesn’t move them anywhere.
"How much did you drink?" they frown, MC’s hands still lingering weakly against them.
Whatever MC says next is unintelligible to Finley, but when they slump forward into their chest a moment later, they catch them easily.
They sigh, rubbing MC’s back while eyes glance around; searching for the nearest cab.
"Finley…?"
"Yes?"
"It’s you…"
"Sure is... "
"…And I’m getting you home."
---
"Get away from me! Where's Bem..."
"Did… did you say my name?"
"I *hick* I don’t know who you are *hick* g-go away… I have a partner…"
"Y-yeah?… me." Bem frowns trying to catch their arm to stop MC from staggering continuously on the road to nowhere.
They gasp when they’re shoved not because of force, but because MC turns around and their eyes are devoid of recognition.
Instinctively Bem finds their hands, clasping them in their own.
"Hey-hey-hey," they whisper-urge in rapid succession, squeezing gently with each one.
"It’s me, alright? I’m here…"
It takes awhile but slowly MC lifts their slumped head to see Bem’s familiar smile.
"I’m here…" they reassure once again with a firmer squeeze.
---
… just realised I forgot about the tangent part… hopefully this still suffices </3
The RO's and an sleep deprived MC baby is sleeping on the MC's arms. Then MC goes crazy looking around for their baby (the one they are holding) because they don't see the baby (again, the one they are holding) on their cradle. How would the cast calm MC down? MC is about to cry so they better do it fast.
RO's thoughts and reaction of a stoic MC that almost never smile, but 0.01 second after their baby is born (or adopted) they never stop smiling, they just stay: 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
I'm sorry this was half finished for so long, time to start cracking at the backlog of drafts I never finished.

AN: Cute! I'll just do the first ask for now because they are going to be long ones and if you shoot me another ask for the second I will answer it there.
Cassandra: She is on her 2nd cup of coffee and just staring at MC for a couple seconds as she computes what is happening right now. In a completely deadpan voice she asks, "What are you looking for?" When MC starts yelling or crying that they can't find the baby she just keeps staring; if MC is sleep deprived then so is she and she is currently on military timing. But she is also not above trolling MC a little bit. "Which baby?" she states obviously, MC is losing their shit; "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHICH BABY?!" they scream. Cass blinks and takes another slow sip of her coffee, she speaks slowly to MC. "Do you mean the baby in currently in your arms, or the baby crying and running around the nursery like a lunatic?" she says with a smirk. Her method isn't soft per say but her calm demeanor to the potentially scary situation (exclusive only to MC's sleep deprived mind) does the job of calming MC down. Once MC realizes their silly error she will come on over and and give them a hug and a break to go get some sleep.
Valeria: Val would be groggy alongside MC in the moment but looks at MC confused, and honestly... I could see her being sleepy enough that she also doesn't register that the baby is already in MC's arms. Now you got two crying idiots looking for a baby that is happily looking at their parents lose their shit as they look for them.
Assuming the two are living with Val's parents or something, it would definitely be her mom to come busting in at the commotion and potential threat to her favorite (and currently only) grandchild. She would likely be irritated and take the baby from MC's arms, call them both dumbasses, and order them to get some sleep as she watches over the baby. What an icon.
Tomás: The millisecond he senses MC's slightest discomfort he is already on alert mode, the moment he sees MC on the verge of tears he is already up and demanding they tell him what is wrong so he can fix it. I can see MC sobbing they can't find the baby as they look frantically, this would melt his heart because he is hyper aware where the baby (and MC) are at all times so he knows the baby is safely in MC's arms right now. He smiles and holds MC's shoulders as he shushes them and assures the baby is okay and right between the two of them.
-
Ludovica: To be awakened from her Disney princess slumber only to be greeted by a frantic MC is enough to make her panic by proxy before she even knows what's happening. Once she gathers enough from MC what the problem is and she can see the child very evidently in MC's arms, she will be more confused than stressed out at that point. Since she holds MC in high enough regard that she assumes you are aware of the child in your arms, she will assure MC to stay calm and sort of still help them look for whatever they're looking for but she will make the comment, "My beloved... You are aware (child's name) is in your arms, right?" Once MC realizes and calms down, she will laugh just a little bit but assure them that could have happened to anyone. She is secretly very pleased to have seen the extent of how much you care for your shared child, even if you were the one in distress.
Aurelio:
The man already being very used to running on practically three hours of sleep, has a surprisingly still sharp mind as he sees you running around frantically with the child in your arms. He asked you if you lost something, since that's what it looks like, and as you scream at him to be useful and help you find the child; Aurelio keeps standing there uselessly as he quirks a brow at you and continues to stare. "So, you are looking for (child's name)? Our child? Our baby? The one we made/adopted together? The one who was conceived-"
"YES ASSHOLE, THAT ONE. WHO ELSE!"
"...I see. Just making sure you weren't referring to the baby very much currently in your arms."
"Oh."
"Yeah, 'oh'. You planning on giving your lover an apology? Perhaps with a smooch?" He says coyly.
Elio: Practically the same as Auelio but he gets something thrown at his head by the end.
Potentially a spoiler question but say the ROs asked MC (who in this scenario believes they will die in their vision) why they are so cavalier with their life. To which the MC simply says with a smile “because it has not snowed yet”
who scratching their heads in complete confusion and who believes MC actually give a serious answer?
“Because it has not snowed yet.” That hurts 😭
Welling: The only thing MC hears back is silence.
Venali: Their face scrunches. “.. What?”
Trivelyn: For the first time, someone else’s words have left them puzzled.
Em: They level a strange look at MC, a flicker in their eyes.
Anle: “It snows often in Achia, Ne’re. What exactly is it that you mean?”
What would an average day with the Ro and their little one when the MC is away (on a job or something)
Welling: Regularly day stuff. Their big plan is to sneak out to the city to take them to see a cloud serpent.
Venali: Probably taking them to visit their sister or father in the evenings.
Trivelyn: Reading and playing board games after studies.
Em: Their heir is with their tutors for most of the day.
Anle: After their duties, training out in the snowscape. Will take breaks with the occasional snowball fight to keep them engaged (technically still training).

RO reactions to MC saying "You are the best thing that's happened to me"?
Oh man, all the gooey feelings todayyy
Jem is astonished. He's never been a good thing for anyone before — just a nuisance or a tool. His tears come suddenly, shocking even himself. Could you maybe hold him? Just so he can hide his face in your shoulder for a bit...
Raena sniffles, her eyes hot and watery, but she tries so hard to stay calm. How can you not realize that the moment you asked her to be your friend is truly the best thing to have ever happened in your lives. It led you both here, didn't it?
Vana stills, a sudden cathartic calm enveloping her body. Isn't this what she's been waiting for all this time? To be someone's reason, their anchor? When you look at her all she can see is the same devotion she feels inside reflected right back at her. She holds you close, words unneeded.
Linzel stops breathing for a moment. It's always hard to take in these small moments of sincerity, hard to accept them. But your warm hand in his reminds him that it's okay to move on, it's okay to let himself be pulled into your web. Gently, he brings your hand to his lips, kissing your knuckles as he murmurs soft gratitude.
Maymie scoffs, but it catches in her tightening throat. "What kind of shitty life have you been living if I'm the best thing in it?" she asks, scrubbing at her eyes. She wants to write it off as a joke, but the way you hold her so tightly only tells her that it's the truth. She will do anything to take responsibility for those words.
Aslo presses his palms against his eyes for a moment, then looks up to blink away the trace of tears. He's always wanted to be someone important, someone loved, someone irreplaceable. Thank the mountain and the stars above that he met you — the star waiting for him across the celestial river.
Sweets laughs. That's so cute of you to say, even though it terrifies them at the same time. It's a beautiful thing to be precious to someone, but it's also scary when you're powerless to help the one that loves you. So they pull you into a hug and twirl about the room, praying the delirious joy can erase the tremor of fear just below.
