Outsiders Modern AU crack hcs (ft. the tiniest bit of Purly):
Soda and pony like thrifting (it’s like the one thing soda can focus on for long periods of time, it’s also how they get clothes that are decent quality without spending 8 billion dollars)
Soda wears sandals 24/7 (he wears shorts in the winter bc he “doesn’t like the way sandals look with pants”) (Darry is ripping his hair out)
darry will send pony those “white boy, why” horse picture things (iykyk) to tell him stuff instead of communicating like a normal person
6-7 was such a problem in their household that Darry banned it from being said while on the property
yes this means that two-bit stood on the sidewalk and screamed it at like 7 in the morning once
Ponyboy vapes (though in this universe he’s actually less of an addict bc Darry/CPS would NOT be happy if they found out so pony js doesn’t tell him. Therefore he cannot js take a hit whenever he wants so he’s actually got some sense of self control)
dally will bully pony for vaping and then turn around and light his 87th cigarette of the day
pony and Johnny hide the stuff they don’t want the gang seeing in the lot (it’s mostly js vapes)
two-bit, soda, and Steve play steal a brainrot religiously
pony likes grow a garden
pony uses Duolingo bc he’s bored and kinda js doesn’t tell anyone (he’s got like 12 courses that he either quit after like one lesson or simply forgot abt, he’s pretty far along for like 2 of them tho)
pony and curly care more abt their snap streak then life itself
curly is absolutely addicted to monsters (he drinks like 5 a day)
curly listens to the most heinously freaky music you’ve ever heard, examples include MSI, Limp Bizkit, Odetari, etc.
pony likes Radiohead/The Smiths (projecting my music taste onto him :D)
Purly pulling a 2000s teenager and sneaking thru each others windows at like 2am (curly has accidentally stepped on soda while doing so whoops)
the Curtis gang has nerf gun battles (blood will be shed.)
the first time Darry heard good luck babe all he could think of was Paul and he cried a little
pony and curly go on Omegle at like 3am at sleepovers (you can decide how you think that goes for them)
curly sends pony those corny-ass TikTok’s of clips of cats cuddling or sm with the caption “us” (pony eats them up every time smh 💔)
