Headcanons For Marcia

Headcanons for Marcia

I sorta imagine her a bit like Two-Bit; she's funny, she cracks jokes, and she has a more mirror personality. However you treat her she'll treat you. Crack jokes with her and she'll crack jokes with you. I get the impression that she keeps everything light in the group (assuming that Cherry, Marcia, Bob, and Randy all hang out regularly together and with other Socs).

Its mentioned in the book that she barrel races as well, though I don't know much about that. And she's also really perceptive!

"Thanks," Cherry said, and the other girl, who was named Marcia, said, "How come we don't see your brother at school? He's not any older than sixteen or seventeen, is he?"

Also, I like to imagine her last name as like... McCarty or Summers or Evans or something really unique but not entirely well known. Either something really common or just completely unique.

I believe that she also really Liked Two-Bit, or at the very least wanted to get to know him. This one I just really like because I loved their back and forth banter at the drive in.

I also don't believe that she likes alcohol, like, at all. And she loves to read when she's alone, or, if shes not reading, she really likes art and she carries a sketchbook in her school bag for when she's bored.

Also, I read the Wiki on her just so I didn't get any information wrong (cause rn it's too dark to read much in my room), and I believe that she definitely capitalizes on a lot of opportunities offered to her. Like with the coke from Dally.

And also, reading the wiki mentions that she spotted Bob's car first, and was relieved when it went past them. And she gave Randy a cold stare but said nothing to him. It ties in that I believe she's really perceptive and I saw someone else say that her and Randy might not have liked each other romantically and they were only dating to spend more time with Cherry and Bob respectively.

Believe she also knows at least one other language, or learning another language actively, and she wears glasses. Maybe she doesn't need them all the time, or on some nights out she just doesn't bring them.

Also, she gives me the feeling that her birthday is like, in May, end of May almost. Maybe the 23?

Definitely also really flirty, even if it goes nowhere. Especially flirty with her friends too.

I really do think she gave Two-Bit her real number though, and was disappointed when he didn't call.

Sorry if some of these are bad, I base a lot of headcanons off of canon or at least I find reason for them from canon. Unless it's just something that wouldn't come up in canon.

Below is the description given by @socseptember (which I need to constantly remind myself who I was thinking about, it's a shame that we didn't see her more)

Marcia M. Marcia- A SOC girl with shorter black hair. She is best friends with Cherry and is not seen outside of the drive-in scene. She is very witty and has a flirtatious conversation with Two-Bit Mathews. Many have begun to ship them. She doesn't have a set last name nor really a visible personality.

I made a 'secondary' blog for just my fics and headcanons and stuff that don't get posted here, since I'm really fighting the urge to just... delete the account and start anew.

@witchyleehibernates-fics

I'm reuploading fic's that I already uploaded on this blog, with a new way of doing it, still trying to figure out tagging and all that jazz, LOL. Do I try create a blog centric tag? Any advice would be appreciated!!

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.

And if... And what if I wrote an Outsiders Hybrid au fic? What then?

The Outsider's Shapeshifting AU

What would you all see the Curtis gang as if they could shapeshift into animals? I have some lore to my little au already built up, but I'm having trouble deciding on what animals they can turn into [everyone can turn into one (1) animal].

If you see I've assigned someone an animal you don't agree with, feel free to tell me! I'm open to suggestions for all the characters! Also, feel free to suggest any animals you want, so long as they are land or flight animals.

(I keep wanting to put 'deer' next to Pony, so nothing is too outrageous!)

Curtis’ Gang Animals

Darry Curtis - Dog

Two Bit Mathews - Bird or Bear (?)

Dally Winston - Cat or Fox (?)

Steve Randle - Dog or Wolf (?)

Sodapop Curtis - Cat

Johnny Cade - Cat

Ponyboy Curtis - 

Curtis Gang isn't the only group of characters I need help deciding animals for, just so people know!

Other Notable Characters to Know

Mrs. Curtis - Cat

Mr. Curtis - Dog

Tim Shepard - Cat

Curly Shepard - Cat

(they are the only two characters I know for sure of exist, because I really don't know who 'Angela' is? From fanfics I've read, I'm guessing Curly is a twin?)

Paul Holden - Dog

Randy Anderson -

Bob Sheldon - Dog (?)

Marcia -

Cherry Valance -

A '(?)' means I am unsure about if the animal chosen fits the character. I would like to choose an animal for everyone that fits the character but also adds to it. And empty means I have no clue on what animal to 'assign' them.

And for reference, I am going based off of the Book/Movie Characters as I have not seen the 'show' or the Musical, I also have not read 'That Was Then, This is Now'! I don't know the other Socs or greasers that some people talk about.

I'm also using headcanons, like I have the lists in 'age order', from both canon and how I perceive them, since we don't know a lot of characters birthdays

If anyone wants some of my current world building/lore:

Shapeshifters AU, maybe an Outsiders Fic, where everyone can ‘come into’ their animal that they can shapeshift into once they reach a certain age. Love the idea that certain circumstances would change when or how you shapeshift for the first time.

Example, Johnny, he's 16 and only shapeshifted (he's a cat) because he felt safe at the Curtis house.

Well fed, loved, cared for children typically get their animal at 10, 12 at the latest if they are late bloomers. So West side kids typically get their animal at 10-12 years of age. East side kids are all between the ages of 13-18 (18 being the absolute last chance you have to get your animals, once you reach 19, you are considered 'defective')

Most siblings are typically the animal, but obviously they all look different. Most people take after their parents, some maybe a grandparent or great grandparent. Rarely do they become an animal not already in the direct family tree (i.e. from great-great grandparent to great grandparent, to grandparent, to parent, to child)

Feel free to ask questions, whether in comments or in the asks box! I'm 100 percent open to conversation and debate and talking with people! (I don't have many outsiders friends).

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
