darry:

- the invisible piano thing, where you play the piano in the air along to the beat of whatever song you're listening to, if that all made sense

- i think he'd do it even when he wasn't listening to music, like he'd just wander around the house looking for something, playing the invisible piano as he walks around

- i think he'd also crack his joints and his knuckles a lot to stim as well

- he probably got told off for doing that one a lot when he was a kid, all the adults telling him he was gonna end up with arthritis if he kept it up

--------------------------------------------------

soda:

- twirling/pulling on his hair

- when he was a kid he used to pull out big hunks of his hair but as he got older he stopped that and stuck to just windin some strands around his fingers and tugging on them

- he also strikes me as the kind of person to bite his nails a lot, sometimes to the point where they bleed, if he's really nervous or upset

-------------------------------------------------------

ponyboy:

- rocking back and forth

- snapping his fingers

- always rearranging things; if he's anxious or excited, he's always wandering around, moving things, even if nothing needs cleaning up

-----------------------------------------------------------

johnny:

- making little chirping noises occasionally

- drumming his fingers on his legs when he's nervous

- just randomly biting anything and anyone

-----------------------------------------------------------

dallas:

- repeating anything he hears and thinks is funny over and over

- stomping his feet when he's excited or frustruated

- clicking his teeth, idk how else to describe it, but it's this very specific noise i've heard people make before

-------------------------------------------------------

two-bit:

- clapping

- flapping his hands

- chewing on his pens when he's thinking

-----------------------------------------------------

steve:

- clicking his tongue

- grinding his teeth

- scratching his arms

oddly specific post but it’s been on my mind for a while for some reason sorry if these are trash im awful but i have to do it quickly or i’ll forget oof

two-bit started it ofc

there were teams:

johnny, ponyboy, and dally on one team

steve, two-bit, sodapop on the other

darry would’t join, everyone was mad

two-bit was the first to throw

m a d n e s s

like three people immediately threw at ponyboy and he just fell and lay there

dally hid in the tree with a bunch of water balloons and LEAPED down and yeeted them all into soda’s face

soda fell onto johnny who was shook so they took a break for snacksss

“dallas you food-whore, stop eating all the gummy worms”

“no”

they went back outside for round two

ponyboy and johnny actually tied sheets around their heads to protect themselves from the water

ponyboy nearly cried when dally said the sheet looked like a horse’s mane

“neigh, bitch, neigh”

“nO dally”

sodapop yeeted a balloon through the open window and it s m a c k e d darry on the head

he came outside in an apron and just looked so disappointed in all of them

“how did i raise my 6 sons this wrong”

until ponyboy threw a balloon at him

then he totally destroyed them all
