modern hcs for the gang

modern headcanons for the gang BUT WITH A TWIST 😱 they were still teenagers in the 60s!!

- darry: he turned 79 in january 2024! somehow the stress of the 1960s hasn't caught up to him yet bc he honestly thought he would be 6 feet underground by age 50 💀 soda and pony are surprised he's still hangin on, but happy nonetheless. darry and pony actually grew closer together after soda enlisted, and they realized they had more in common than they originally thought! pony, who once considered darry his biggest hater, now considers darry his biggest supporter 🤟🏽 darry’s widowed after his wife of 50 years passed away in 2020, but he has a couple of kids and a handful of grandchildren to keep him busy

- two-bit: he is not as lucky as darry – the years of drinking, smoking, and other forms of substance abuse caught up to him and he passed away in 2006, just a few months shy of turning 59. pony retorts he's surprised two wasn't gone by 1969, considering how dal’s and johnny’s deaths affected him. as of 2006, he left behind 4 ex-wives and 7 children. as of 2024, 2 more children have been found through ancestry.com 🤷🏽‍♀️

- steve plans to retire for the third time in 2024 when he is 76. he retired in 2014, but got too bored; he retired again in 2020, but once again was too bored. he got married to evie straight out of high school and will be celebrating 57 years of marriage this june. soda and his fam come over for dinner at their house every sunday night

- sodapop fell HARD and FAST with every person he met after sandy. poor boy’s been married 3 times, but he finally found the one! he married a slightly older woman in 1977 who had her own children from a previous relationship, but soda took them in like they were his own. along with his 2 stepchildren, they went on to have 2 more. soda loves his 9 grandkids he's such a good grandpa

- hinton said pony would've voted for Obama, so canonically ponyboy is a lib. SO IN MY HEAD he was very vocal during BLM!! ya know considering he watched his friend get shot to death by the police *uncomfortable smile*. right now I like to think pony was an activist but ask me again in like an hour and I might change my mind

#sorry this is very half assed cuz I'm going to the doc #if you want me to try again for real I will I promise heheh #also I'm not homophobic I just don't think the gang would marry a man regardless if they were gay or not #hence why I said soda fell in love with EVERYONE not just girls #anyway I'm off to the doc hehehe #the outsiders #ponyboy curtis #sodapop curtis #darry curtis #two bit mathews #steve randle #the outsiders headcanons #my headcanons

C'mon now!

It goes to show how social media rules people's lives. By now I'm sure everyone is all on the R.Kelly BS. Wall's are now closing in on dude and people are finally acting on what people have been trying to say ever since Aaliyah ( still miss you). Despite many holes in all the accusations towards the "Pied Piper of R&B" ( not the smartest thing to be calling yourself), it looks like people are going as far as boycotting his music altogether. Which brings me to Jesy Nelson. For those who are not in the know, Jesy is a member of the British pop group Little Mix. Jesy is under scrutiny because she was filmed singing along to a R. Kelly song. Now, let's be real bout this. You can not deny certain things. Despite how we feel bout Kells, you can not tell me at one time that you haven't sung at least one of his songs, around people or by yourself, I know i have, many of times. I'm very sure some of y'all was either conceived or even got conceived with an R. Kelly tune in the background. Let's be real here, tell me u don't have a R Kelly album in your collection! And why did u buy it? Exactly! There's many reasons why you purchase his music. He has a song for almost all situations, hell, dude singing bout Gotham city, flying, women who are fed up, going half on a baby, dude was yodelling on one of his tunes (Get up on a room), and let's not 4get bout being trapped in the closet and that whole circus. Oh and what's a R&B album without a song about someone cheating. He's sung about it all. Like it or not, dude is a genius! The so called strange ones are tho, prime examples MJ and Prince, even David Bowie.

Jesy sang to a R Kelly song and now she's getting backlashes, please! She's a musician, an established one too. Why wouldn't she sing along? An artist was admiring another artist's work. What's the problem?

Ok, let me ask this. A lot of people are turning their back on R Kelly and I do understand, but what if, IF he's totally innocent?? Are y'all gonna start listening to his music again? See that's the thing. Right now he's being investigated, well until he's found guilty, how bout everyone stop jumping to conclusions! Yes I watched the doc' on him but I'm sorry, I saw too many holes in their stories. And here's something that I totally agree with what Master P had to say bout all this. You have these parents on TMZ of all people, as well as Lifetime who, well let's face it, aren't the most accurate with their information, when they should be going to a higher platform like CNN. If you know your child is in a hotel room or a building, are you gonna ask to see your child or you gonna bust the door down get your lil girl?? The police couldn't even help, this is why people take the law in their own hands. As for the girl at the hotel, the mother was asking her to please come home... Really. Bruh, I'm grabbing her and taking her home. Or I'd wait til R Kelly comes back. Could you imagine that scene!!??

Ok, if I had to choose tho, I can only give my opinion and that is I think he is sick. Dude needs help. If some of the stories from Surviving R Kelly are true then he needs help quick. Cuz I've said this before and I'll say it again. Walls are closing in on him. This may be a bit bleak but I think Kell's might do something serious.....to himself, then what!?

Just a lil note here. Didn't Elvis mess with teens? How bout Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Chaplin messed with teens too. To bring it up to more recent times, what bout Jay Z? I'm sure y'all heard bout Hov and Foxxy Brown, 17 was she? Ok I guess the only difference with all the above is that they weren't holding down some sex cult or anything, but under age is under age. Yes Elvis Presley and Charlie Chaplin married girls in their late teens but does that make it ok? Would you want you 15-17 year old daughter marrying a big ass grown man, no matter how rich or famous he is??

I'm not contradicting myself, I'm just showing that there's always 3 sides to a story or situation. Problem is that the 3rd side which is usually considered as the truth is overshadowed by where the majority leans towards or to the side that sounds the best.
