I Had A Headcanon In Regards To Bob From The Outsiders, But I Don't Remember It Which Sucks, Because

I had a headcanon in regards to Bob from The Outsiders, but I don't remember it which sucks, because I remember really liking it? But I don't remember what caused me to have it and I didn't write it down 😭

If I remember, definitely either editing or reblogging this with the headcanon.

... I've been reminded that I fucking adore Apocalypse aus.

So the Hybrid idea is shelved, in favor of an apocalypse oneshot series.

Outsiders Headcanon

Most of these are set in a modern au, but musical headcanons from someone who's never seen a musical but loves the sound tracks of em.

I have a strong headcanon that Ponyboy would be into musicals, not wanting to be in them, but definitely the songs and stories behind them.

Sodapop teases him slightly but he also loves the songs. Darry doesn't understand either of them, but I think that's more so because he's to busy and to tired to try have either explain it to him.

Steve teases Ponyboy about it nearly relentlessly before learning that Sodapop also loves the songs, and will often dance around his room listening to em. After learning that, he'll mix in Sodapop's favorite musical soundtracks to his work playlist (which I headcanon he loves rock music) so he can see Sodapop just visibly brighten up when one comes on.

Two-Bit doesn't really care for musical soundtracks but he won't ask anyone to change em if they come on. He even likes quiet a few of them, even if he doesn't like musicals.

Dally will make faces but won't say anything because Johnny also loves musicals and their soundtracks. Like, Johnny and Ponyboy have specific favorites and can and will sing them from memory. Entirely. And Ponyboy can sing Johnny's ultimate favorite from his favorite musical and vice versa. Dally makes fun of both of them but in the "I'm the only one that can make fun of this". He also has a favorite but refuses to tell anyone. Maybe Dally's favorite is Beetlejuice.

(mainly because op here has listened to very little musicals, mainly the outsiders music, one or two songs from heathers(?), and Beetlejuice, and EPIC).

Maybe... Maybe... I could use some creativity juice...

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

When they're at the church!

He was studying me. "You know, you look an awful lot like Sodapop, the way you've got your hair and everything. I mean, except your eyes are green." "They ain't green, they're gray." I said, reddening. "And I look about as much like Soda as you do." I got to my feet. "He's good looking." "Shoot," Johnny said with a grin, "you are, too." I climbed over the barbed-wire fence without saying anything else. I could hear Johnny laughing at me, but I didn't care. I went strolling down the red dirt road, hoping my natural color would come back before I met anyone...

Chapter 4, page 64 of my copy of the Outsider's.

Okay, so it was before the church, but close enough to it!

Also, the '...' meant that there was more to the paragraph, but I wasn't typing all that out, lmfao. It was a longer paragraph.

Opened my copy of The Outsiders to skim around, look for clues into their personalities, thinking bout righting a fanfic of it

And I got to a part that never clicked before (a reason I will always say people should rewatch movies and reread books, you'll always see something you missed before)

Johnny teases Ponyboy that he's good looking

I missed that years ago

What animal would Ponyboy shapeshift into? What animal should he shapeshift into? What animal fits Ponyboy?

Like, a Dog fits Darry, in my mind. And Sodapop is definitely a cat.
