Outsiders pride month headcannons cause I can- (these all would most likely be modern headcannons because- ya know, the 60s…)
Darry: To me he’s Omni and prefers guys. Darry’s never seemed much of a romantic to me but I think he’d lean more towards liking men, I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE PARRY LORE!! You cannot tell me it is normal to circle your ex “best friend” like that at a rumble and not have had smth go on in Highschool. I think they had some kind of relationship- also the musical cast’s posts just better my opinion lol (Dan Berry and Brent Comer how I love you)
Dallas: In my head he’s asexual. THE TRANSMASC DALLY HEADCANNONS ALSO HAVE ME IN A CHOKEHOLD RN- OML-. Personally, the “relationship” he had with Sylvia wasn’t really a relationship, it was more of an excuse the two would use to get themselves out of icky situations. I think Dally would be the kinda person to make gay people jokes, but then not actually be homophobic like people think he is-? Idk- Dal’s hard to pinpoint-
Two-bit: straight but I think he’d be an ally-? I’ve liked Mar-bit from the second I read the drive-in scene, so they will always be in my brain. I don’t think he’d be homophobic, more or less he’d be the type of person to scream Happy pride month at Pony on June first 😔
Steve: Bi, I love me some angsty one-sided Stevepop where Soda’s just completely oblivious. Part of my brain wants to call Steve gay, BUT THEN THERE’S EVIE! I think he loves and cares about her a lot. I haven’t read much about the two, nor do we get much information on them, but in my head they love eachother. On the other hand, I am a fiend for anything Stevepop related, especially Vietnam Stevepop fics. (I recently read one called Oh Brother, where art though? AND IT WAS AMAZING-)
Sodapop: Now, I love Cherrycola. But I also love Chetsoda and Stevepop- (I can’t make up my mind, I’m sorry). I personally think Soda would be pan :]. He just loves people no matter who they are.
Johnny: To me he’s gay but on the aroace spectrum. Idk, smth about Johnny dating women just doesn’t make sense in my head? Also just generally dating someone in general? If anything, I think he’d like men better, I can see him falling in love with a guy. Like Darry, I find it hard to picture Johnny getting involved in a relationship, to me they’re both not much of romantics
Ponyboy: THAT MAN IS BI- ever since I read the way he talks about Paul Newman I cannot get it out of my head. You can’t convince me Pony talks about Newman like that and hasn’t thought about the possibility of dating another guy. To me I see Pony and Cherry as a Dipper and Wendy situation. However Pony’s not aware of his feelings like Dipper was, nor was he trying to get her away from Bob, like Dipper did with Robbie.
Randy: I think he’s gay. A headcannon I have for him is that during the whole soc era, he pushed down his feelings for guys and tried to ignore them as much as he could. I think it’d be interesting if he had a crush on Bob at one point-? But then after he became a hippie, (like what we see in twttin) he finally decided to come to terms with his sexuality. Of course, it was still the 60s so there was still a butt ton of homophobia and a bit of internalized-homophobia. However, I’d like to think he became a little more comfortable with himself :]
Cherry: I’ve seen some Bi Cherry headcannons over the last few weeks and it’s growing on me a lot. Idk who she’d be with, but it seems interesting!! Also- like- the whole thing Liz had headcannoned where Soda and Cherry became close and would gossip later in life has absolutely flooded my brain. (Of course that would work if she wasn’t queer, but still)
Chet: CHETSODA, CHETSODA, CHETSODA- OMG- IT HAS TAKEN OVER MY BRAIN HELP-I think he’s gay- kinda the same situation of Randy-? But instead of becoming a hippie, he comes to terms with it after the events of the book/musical
I still need to figure out the specifics of Paul, Marcia, Trip, and Bev (Bob’s just straight and homophobic to me- idk-)
