UHHHH

Darry Headcanons

because I love him too

- Isn’t an avid reader like Ponyboy is but I know damn well he pours himself a glass of wine and sits at the edge of his bed with a book he buys for himself on his off days.

- gets whistled and catcalled at frequently at work on roofs.

- has two jars for pony and soda. They each have their favorite candies in them, and if they’re good they get all of them at the end of the month. and everytime they do something he doesn’t approve of he removes one of the candy bars and eats it in their face or tosses it to two-bit. (they’re both almost always empty.)

- knocks on ponyboy’s head when he’s on the usual rant about him not thinking. “Hello? Anyone in there? Damn right there isn’t.”

- (modern) this guy would know how to use a phone guys😭 he’s not a boomer, he just wouldn’t have time to go on socials.

- likes to call pony and soda ‘his boys’ :(

^^ the gang also says “your kid” when referring to either soda or pony. It gives him mixed emotions.

- tried to use running laps as punishment for both soda and pony because of his football coach but it didn’t work because they had the time of their lives running around the yard.

- picks Ponyboy up randomly by the neck of his shirt.

- quiet affirmations to himself in the mirror before everyone wakes up.

gangs’s height hcs lets gooo

Ponyboy: 5’4-5’5-ish in the book, eventually is 6’0 as an adult. Taller than Soda because of this scene in the TV show where they compare heights and Pony’s taller- it was funny lol

Sodapop: 5’10. Not that tall, but certainly not short either. About average. Wasn’t at all insecure about his height until Pony got taller…now he wears cowboy boots more often (for the heel)

Darry: 6’2. Not much to say here. It’s his canonical height lol

Johnny: 5’3, due to years of malnutrition and sleep deprivation. Would only end up growing to 5’4-ish in adulthood if he reached it.

Dally: 6’1. Pretty tall. In my heart and soul he’s 5’6 but I realize that that’s not true. Still

Two-Bit: 6’0- in the movie he’s 5’7, but idk he gives me tall vibes and he’s tall in the book anyway? I do flip flop on this one a lot tho so I draw him pretty inconsistently tbh

Steve: 5’7. I know he’s “tall and lean” in the book, but Tom Cruise is neither lol, and his version of Steve is the one that made me like Steve. So to me Steve’s always gonna be 5’7. Hell, he’s probably rounding up too. He seems like he would yk

How they would ask you to prom!

WARNING BAD PICKUP PROM LINES (the gangs lines are in bold!)

WARNING BAD SPELLING WARNING BAD WORDS!

You were getting ready to cheer for the football game it was about 2 weeks before prom then darry tapped you on the shoulder

"yes dar I will go to prom with you"

"oh thank gosh Oh uh I got you flower by the way! oh and those candies you told me about!"

he was def stressing since he needed it be prefect (sodapop gave him the pick up line)

He spent at least 30 minutes trying to pick out the best flowers

Sodapop

Him and Steve definitely practiced for hours

"hey uh will you uh"

"hey!"

"oh hey soda whats up?"

Y/n smiled at him and he took a deep breath

"You know since your such a bright star maybe you should light up my night at prom?"

"Oh sure soda! I'd love to go to prom with you!"

"I loved to go to prom with you pony!" *y/n smiled*

"Oh uhm I got you that book you were talking about"

"thank you pony boy I love it"

He was screaming in his pillow because he said the pick up two bit told him and two-bit started to laugh his ass off when he found out pony said the pick up line

Dallas

-⛸-Later-⛸-

You and him were at a rodeo and he thought he'd get over with and ask you

"Hey Y/n"

"Yeah dal whats up?"

*Dallas handed you pack of cigarettes and the cd*
