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!

Summer Headcanons!

Darry is constantly spraying the boys with Off bug spray. He’ll literally just come up behind them and douse them in a cloud of bug spray.

Steve and Dally are mosquito magnets. They get eaten alive during the summer and are always scratching at the bites of their arms.

Soda, Two-Bit, Steve, Dally and Darry never have their shirts on when it’s hot. They’ll walk around the Curtis house half naked and it annoys Pony so much.

Pony burns soooo badly. This boy turns lobster red if he’s out for more than 30 minutes without sunscreen. He gets freckles on his nose and the high points on his cheeks that only come out in sun.

Johnny keeps his jean jacket at the Curtis house during the summer, because he doesn’t want anything to happen to it if he were to leave it at his house.

Soda, Steve and Darry get the most tanned from working outside.

The boys have an annual contest to see who can make the best popsicles. Johnny’s been the champion for the past three years, and Two-Bit usually comes in last. Two-Bit will blend random ingredients together and doesn’t take it too seriously.

Darry likes to grill out in the backyard. His Dad used to do that every summer, and he likes to continue the tradition.

Pony and Johnny can usually be found at the local pool.

Two-Bit absolutely refuses to wear sunscreen because he hates the way it feels on his skin. He’ll get burned, but still won’t put any on.

Soda will give Johnny a little haircut in the summer so it’s not so hot on his neck.

Dally doesn’t like the hot weather and prefers the Fall weather.

"Hes a little guy with a big butt" -my friend 2025 😭🙏

Two-Bit is constantly saying freak shit to Darry but the MINUTE Darry flirts back to keep the bit going, you know he takes off running cartoon style

I love Cherry. Cherry Valence was scare of Dallas but she stood up for herself and her friend. She was scared but she fought. She's tough. She spoke up when Two-bit was threatening to fight her boyfriend. She hates violence and didnt wanna see anyone get hurt. Cherry haters are actually crazy tbh.. like wdym you hate her bc she ignored Ponyboy??? That was a commentary on the peer pressure of not being seen with someone with a different class?? She didn't want to ignore him. She told him that if she doesn't say hi at school not to take it deep BECAUSE she didn't want herself or Pony to be targeted by anyone. Cherry didnt visit Johnny in the hospital for the same reason. The peer pressure to not be seen with a hood, or a killer. She is so misunderstood. "I wish I was Cherry when Dal was being close with her!!! she was such a bitch in that scene!1!1!!!" She was being harassed. Dally was making her uncomfortable and she had every right to poor soda on him. Cherry Valence, no one could ever make me hate you
