I’ve been trying to be chill about this but Jeff goldblum singing in no one mourns the wicked makes me feel some sorta way like that part is on repeat. just hear me out on this one.
GALLAVICH + TAROT (sort of)
Brothers au Christmas hcs cause I’m sick and I need smth to do (and I love Christmas and we just got snow) 😓🥳
Dally is actually pretty good at wrapping presents
He learned from Darry
Who learned from their parents.
Dally uses his money from work to buy gifts for his brothers
They’re actually very thoughtful but on Christmas he shrugs it off as just something he saw
Like if ponyboy mentioned some book
Dally will remember
Ponyboy gets stressed about gifts because he feels like his brothers are hard to shop for.
He needs it to be good
And it totally is
He’s even got Steve like wow you got this for me ponyboy?😍🙈
Steve in turn gets gifts that are really good without even trying 😭
He’s like “here” and they’re like “wow this is so nice of you 🥹” and he’s like “damn it is?”
Soda would make them take Christmas pictures cause that’s what they used to do with their parents
Soda would also be the first one to wake up (he would barely sleep he’s so excited)
He would be so impatient lol
Since pony doesn’t sleep like ever, he would hang out with soda until everyone else woke up.
Darry is grumpy in the morning cause his beauty sleep got interrupted so he makes soda go make his coffee 😭
Steve has chocolate for breakfast (same girl)
He shares with two bit
Reluctantly
Cause he’s a big back
Johnny is focused on the Christmas movie in the background.
Does buddy know he exists 😭🙏
He’s so grateful for his gifts
As if he’s surprised they went out of their way to get him something
He is also so proud of his own gift giving
Pony tries to play Christmas songs on the piano
When he misses a single note he slams the keys
Darry’s all like “there there, let ME try” and then COOKS
Ponyboy takes this time to go with soda to make dinner
…in a few words they end up needing the fire extinguisher
So they just go out to a small restaurant
And after they leave they make the last minute decision to buy some Christmassy flowers
They stop at their parents graves and leave the flowers and some words
No dry eye in sight
But that would be denied by a few.
They go back home and put in a movie
Hot chocolate 🤩
And beer 🤩
And they fall asleep and dream about sugar plums fr
woah I forgot I wrote this one shot but it’s twobit themed cause I feel like his character resonates with me. but then it’s like “woahhh I wrote that?” and for me that’s “he took the silver all his life, wanting nothing more than to get that gold”
now that was definitely me projecting.
But now I wanna write smth else twobit centric. (we’re gonna ignore the incomplete works for a while let’s ease into the writing fr)
lemme know if anyone out in the world wants smth two-bit centric cause like I’ll take prompts frfr
i need more outsiders aus like the ones where pony goes back in time or something like "Changing Places" and "What Isn't Real" by Emily_F6 cause those were so gooooooddd and I need to see more of smth like that cause i love how chaotic it is and how much you can do with it and in turn write a happy ending. someone pls
💔💗🧡

mwah ly pookie wooky schnooky bear ❤️
love these questions!
yes, they're personalities change because they were raised differently in this au. and yes since johnny isn't in the same situation with his parents, he is more outward with his personality. way better self-esteem since he has practically a fanclub with his family in this au. very sassy. i'd also like to say he's kinda good when it comes to dating. similarly to soda. but not as obvious since he's all respectful. but he does get shy and quiet at times too. it's like a mix. depending on the day, the circumstance, and the people he's with. for dallas, he is less of a meanie since he actually has people to care about and knows that people care about him so he is softer, but he still lives and engages in the wrong stuff in town and everything with other gangs which probably leads to his seemingly/slightly cold demeanor. it does start early though, in his early teenager years. their parents just do whatever they can to help him and guide him. also side hc, their uncle (i mentioned him in another post) would sometimes babysit them. and when it was only darry, two, and dally, the older two would hang out and so their uncle would often read to dally. their uncle grew up in nyc so i like to think that dal sometimes has that accent when saying certain words because of hearing them for the first time from his uncle.
as for the book events, i think they can still happen, just differently. thats an aspect i plan on going into further in my full fic of the au (in the works 😉) and seeing how it could unfold if things were different like this (i wont kill anyone off i promise)
financially, they start off rocky since they're struggling to keep up a house of seven, but as they go and advance to new jobs they might earn enough to not be considered lower class. maybe eventually it gets to the point where they're upper middle class, but it's def an uphill battle that won't happen instantly.
o.m.g. i can assure you the johnny-pony-dally dynamic is chaotic. imagine having two great, dependable, loyal friends...then throw all that down the drain cause you actually have to live with them /j | they're very silly but also very supportive, and i can see as time goes on, the seven of them just sleep wherever there's a bed to the point it doesn't matter whose room is whose as long as they get enough sleep to not be insanely cranky in the morning
surprisingly, ive never heard that before, but it makes sense, but throughout reading the outsiders (and i know a few of my friends have this problem too) i couldn't imagine or picture a face or a person to go along with dally's description (or any of them really) seeing the movie rlly saved me there so i only really see the actors when i think of them and portrayals which makes sense in my head since they all have similar hair colors. but they prolly do have some mexican/native or whatever genes down the line or maybe in their parents so it makes sense for their looks to not stray insanely far.
ty for coming to my tedtalk! i hope my yapping wasnt too confusing but if ya wanna know anything else or wanna see anything else lmk! i srsly need more motivation lol. you'll certainly be seeing more from this au in the near future :)
ok so im gonna need all y'all to tell me if you'd be interested in an outsiders fanfic but everyone in the gang is actually related like they all grow up together. like they're the curtis gang cause they're curtises.
i wouldnt change much about them personality wise (or looks) but it'd be an interesting dynamic to explore within them all and how they're relationships would be similar or different if they're LITERAL brothers
