Stained Glass 🫖

POV you’re Mrs. Curtis 1950s-mid 60s. This is a regular occurrence

Imagine just having a gang of little boys bring critters into your home constantly and you don’t even know how they manage or where they’re even finding them. Darrel sr. Is not helping. He is encouraging this.

Possum, raccoon, rabbits, armadillo, squirrel somehow, stray dogs, coyote they thought was a dog, probably would do a deer or a mountain lion if they could

Just converted and mud holding some poor creature like it’s a caught fish way too proud of themselves.

Johnny’s best with rabbits. Dallas would fight a bear given a chance . Steve can and will wiggle himself under a house after something .Twobit would jump in a river. Pony is good at climbing and fast. Soda does good calls. Darry tracks and knows basic animal facts.

hiii!! i LOVE your writing and was wondering if you’d write for steve randle (the outsiders)? if so, could you do general headcannons? thank you!

general steve randle headcanons

୨ৎ steve has an incredibly high spice tolerance and willingly seeks out those “spiciest burger in all of tulsa” promotions just for the spiciness.

୨ৎ both him and soda hate horror films because they genuinely get scared—they’re the type to scream and flinch their popcorn up in the air when there’s a jumpscare in a theater.

୨ৎ steve loves true crime documentaries (no, i don’t think they existed during the 1960s, and if they did, they weren’t popular at all, but i don’t care).

୨ৎ he finds it hilarious to randomly shove and kick the back of people’s knees, but when they do it back to him, he flips.

୨ৎ he loves and has a collection of hawaiian shirts but would never admit that to anyone except for soda after one too many cases of beer.

not to be dramatic or anything but i don't know how a human is capable of looking like this

Hey um

The outspiders

All the Curtis brothers have heterochromia

Darry’s is one full eye ice-blue the other ice-blue with a corner of it brown; sectoral heterochromia

Soda’s is one blue one Hazel so much it looks gold; complete heterochromia

Pony’s is green-gray with brown on the inside/in the middle; central heterochromia

(Probably gonna change them later)

Things Sodapop Curtis dreams about at night

Horses!

He and Darry are in a pie-eating contest but the pies turn into chocolate cake and Darry turns into a goat

A wall full of blue ribbons

Ponyboy’s drawings come to life like a television cartoon—they dance and sing and everything!

He’s alone in the house, walking from room to room in search of Darry—he can hear his big brother’s voice, always just behind the next door, but can’t find him.

He owns a horse!

Drag racing with Steve, except the race never ends, and they just keep going and going, windows down, wind in their hair, hearts alive.

Mickey Mouse bites him. He laughs, and bites back.

Ponyboy is blazing, burning up like a 4th of July bonfire. Funny thing is, Soda can’t see it happening—he smells it though, ash so thick it clogs his mouth, choking him. He wants to yell, but there’s too much smoke in his throat.

Soda is alone in the house, walking from room to room in search of Darry. He can’t find his big brother. His big brother is gone.

The room is dark, he’s five years old, and his mother sings while stroking his hair.

Dallas Winston crumples beneath a streetlight. Over and over again, on repeat, but each time the puddle of blood gets bigger, until Soda drowns in it.

He doesn’t have a mouth, it’s gone right off his face. It feels so real that when he wakes, he spends an hour in silence, until he remembers he still has a tongue.

The high school principal and his big, shiny belt-buckle.

Ponyboy and Darry are going at each other with switchblades. Soda tries to intervene. He can’t move. He tries to shout. He has no mouth.

Ponyboy and Darry kill each other in front of him; their bodies laid out, still and cold, on crimson train tracks.

The house is empty. He’s alone in the house. He hears their voices, but he can’t get to them. He’s alone in the house.

He’s alone.

Horses!!

The gang played truth or dare once and it ended with Dally in jail, a potential rumble between them and the Shepard gang, Ponyboy admitting to smoking pot with Curly underneath the school bleachers, and Darry drunkenly confessing to the gang his torrid love affair with Paul

darry got suspended one time in high school because one of the socs said something rude about his mom at a football game and he beat the living shit out of that kid.

one more night thinking about the fact that Dally gave his ring to Sylvia
