Two Bit Is Me Core

Darry having autism is actually my biggest comfort headcanon

(Basing this off of MY autism with overlapping adhd and ocd)(I hc him with some of all three)(projection character !)

He yearns for familiarity and follows an empty pattern in his life. He took the roll as a parent over a brother because of this. He doesn’t want Pony and Soda to go without one and thinks that if he can’t act as them, it’ll be like things are the same. He needs a routine or he will break. He can’t handle change

He doesn’t know how to show affection and it often gets misunderstood. He wants to best for his brothers and wants Pony to have the life he never had the chance to have, so he pushes him for it. He thinks he’s giving Pony a chance in life, while Pony sees it as Darry telling him that he’ll never be enough.

His outlet is anger because he struggles to show emotion. He doesn’t know how to process or show emotion that he default to anger. When he gets worried, he gets mad. When he gets scared, he gets mad. He doesn’t show much emotion, either. He stays neutral and only ever shows it when it’s huge. He’s not the best at understanding it- at all. He doesn’t get why people are upset or mad.

He craves to love, but he just can’t show it. He knows something’s wrong with him- his parents never had that problem, Soda never had that problem, Pony never had that problem. So why does he?

He always does some repetitive motion, mainly with his hands, when he’s overwhelmed or nervous- which, for him, is more often than not at this point. He has a 100yard stare when processing anything sudden and overwhelming.

He takes things to literally. He struggles to relate to others. He’s not good at communicating. He can’t maintain good relationships. He’s often told to be emotionless because he just can’t fucking get it.

He hates the way cigarettes smell, but he can’t tell the others. He hates certain foods the gang loves because of texture, but he can’t tell them. He hates how washing dishes feel, but he can’t tell the gang. They’ll all think he’s being dramatic when he’s always just overstimulated/overwhelmed.

I have so much more for this, but currently I am overwhelmed!

"art is fun" YEAH UNTIL I HAVE THE POSTURE OF A SHRIMP AND SOBBING OVER A LINE

shoves art and reference in your face

Smth that's lingers on my mind is how the Greasers are really poor (great observation) but also a lot of POC were broke in the 60's due to people not hiring them. So, it wouldn't be to crazy to say that Johnny, Steve, Dallas and Two-bit are all POC? Just like something in my bones is telling me Steve is mexican and Johnny is Puerto Rican and they speak in spainish whenever their talking shit abt other people?? Also idk what Two-bit would be but my bones are telling me he's mixed.. like white and something else.. Dallas would look like SUPER white but ik that man is Asian. maybe he's a quarter Vietnamese. I haven't quite pin pointed it but my bones do not lie when it comes to my special interests

YES OMG YESSSS

mexican steve randle you will forever mean everything to me 🥹

like just imagine him, disconnected from this part of himself, finally learning to be somewhat comfortable and showing the curtis gang his favorite foods, sayings, and bits of culture

steve teaching everyone how to make homemade pupusas and tamales, and some little things like fideo and rice become a common dinner side [these are just cause those are some of my favs my family makes]

steve makes migas for soda once and it turns into one of his favorite breakfast foods [me too soda, me too]

he teaches soda the little bits of spanish he knows and they call each other sweet things like "mi amor", "mi corazón", and "mi alma" [and stupid things like "tonto" and "puta"]

he slips up sometimes and says things like "ay dios mio" and "aye yai yai" out of pure exasperation [same], which then gets added to sodas vocabulary

he owns so many sarape blankets and keeps a few of his favorite ones at the curtis house, everybody loves them for their warmth and texture and prefers them when sleeping over

OH MY GOD TRES LECHES it becomes the second favorite cake to their classic chocolate <3

ill tag some ppl too just cause i think i should start doing that :3 @deim0sdread @n0rthern-star @tex-aintdeadyet
