chercia:

they have known each other since grade school. like. kindergarten. marcia didn’t have a lot of friends because her only hobby at the time was trying to vaguely joke around with everybody My lovely autistic girlfailure but cherry always found them funny. & this grows into while cherry was a friend to all (as in popular) she really was a friend to none except marcia

they love doing anything with each other’s hair!! although if marcia has black hair she’s definitely got some bleach damage from how many times she’s dyed it to match cherry’s lol

masters of couple costumes for halloween even before they got together. and it had range like they’d go from genuinely unique and cool matching costumes to basic ass “i’m with ____” just to fuck with other people

post canon i think they do a little bit of a zomst mizisua (without the evil zombie infection & toxic codependency) type thing like they pursue a career together!! buuut this is tainted by cherry’s past publicity with the events of the outsiders

both are massive enjoyers of shirley temples

cherry is into like stage style/“normal” makeup while marcia is into more sfx type stuff (i think she’s a big film nerd in general and she and ponyboy bond over this also) and they try their makeup ideas out on each other

longest most frustrating GET TOGETHER ALREADY lesbian internalized homophobia internalized misogyny slowburn ever. like actually. marcia had a crush on cherry for forever and a half but felt scared she was falling behind when cherry started getting boyfriends so she tried to too. and in cherry’s side it was the need to fit into social standards and be liked and that means not being open about liking girls and finding a boyfriend to attach yourself to and watering yourself down for the sake of others. she used to be a lot more witty around everyone but instead pushed that energy into acting “mad” when she gets scared, especially of men (as shown in drive in scene)

johnnypop

if modern au johnny dry ass texter vs sodapop “300 million emojis” curtis. like johnny uses emojis maybe twice every conversation he just sees no need for it unless he’s trying to be funny but sodapop is an emoji warrior (especially 🥹 and 😳)

sodapop is the shortest of the curtis bros in my beautiful heart so they bond over being on the shorter side and getting picked on for it. it’s a win for johnny anyways because he’s big on like resting on people’s shoulders and stuff and that’s hard when they’re half a foot taller than you so sodapop’s shoulders being easy access is very nice

always semi pda at the dx like they’re not canoodling in the middle of the station but they’ll sometimes fuck around behind the gas pumps during slower periods (much to steve’s chagrin)

johnny accidentally found out sodapop bleaches his hair and soda thought it was a genuine threat to their relationship (johnny found it kind of funny and ultimately did not mind)

they make music together sometimes they are like a homoerotic boy band in a way. my johnny guitar player hc + soda can sing decently so sometimes they’ll play for extra cash

oblivious x oblivious. holy. shit. even PONYBOY caught on that they liked each other before either of them did. like he lost his shit at johnny over him dating his brother and not telling him and johnny was like boy what. no no i don’t think he likes me in that kinda way. sodapop literally gives him constant discounts for dx snacks and lets him behind the scenes constantly and gives him his warm clothes on colder days. and then johnny talks about sodapop like he’s the greatest thing to walk the earth and is always cuddling up on him. like. okay.
