"On some level, I think I always understood

That a ship could never really love an anchor

So, I did the only thing that I could

And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor

There are times when I still wonder about you

You are someone I have loved, but never known

And you'll never see the reasons I had

For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you"

I need papercut angst pretty please places my order at the rocky road diner

ONE ORDER OF PAPERCUT ANGST COMING UP!!!

Curly knows he’s not meant for Pony. They’d never work, in this life or the next. Curly was grown up in a house, pony was raised in a home. 

Pony doesn’t know what it’s like to sleep outside, under the front porch of your own house because your stepdad can’t you. Pony’s older brother has never beat him up just to remind him how weak he is. 

Pony lives a life gilded in protection, curly survives drenched in his own blood. 

Curly knows that pony pities him so much. He hates and loves it. Finally someone sees him but that means someone sees him. 

Curly is just a temporary thing to pony, he may not see it or know it but curly sure does. He doesn’t let himself  get attached. And yet somehow he ends up sleeping on Pony’s chest while he sings a soft melody and curly wakes up feeling guilty for what he knows is to come. But they can not stay together, pony is a ship ready to journey across the sea and curly is nothing but a huge, rusted anchor keeping him in place.

So he cuts ties with pony and lets him travel.

NO BUT FR and I know she like absolutely exaggerates it to scare the shit out of curly

curly: "hey ang—"

angela: "oh MY GOD IT HURTS 😭😭😭😭 owwww CURLY IT HURTS."

curly: 😟

I just know Angela milks her periods because Tim and curly have no idea how the fuck they work not for a lack of trying but shes also a little devious kinda gal so I can totally see her using it to get them to do little chores she doesn't wanna do or to get out of having to go do something

Curly Shepard lore. Literally anything; childhood, the Outsiders, TWTTIN, aftermath of both.

Oh god

Okay

Uh, let's lock in then, under the cut or whatever as always

Curly shepard lore jesus fucking christ where do I start

He grew up with his mother, father, sister, and older brother, until Curly and Angela were about 4 or 5, when their birth mom left and they were left with their dad who was a shit head and abusive as fuck, their birth mom even when they were younger drilled a lot of religious bs into their heads and their father just reiterated a lot of it, eventually their stepmom is even worse abt it but that's not until later

Tim took care of Angela and Curly even though it wore him out a lot and he was only 3 years older, still a kid but he had to protect and hide them and take care of them since their father wouldn't have done shit

Curly met Ponyboy at around 8 or 9, and they had been friends since then, though at some point Curly had developed a slight crush on him before the events of the outsiders obviously and he, while being raised his whole life being told that it was sinful and devilish and absolutely forbidden and disgusting to like boys, he decided to bully the shit out of Pony, not in like an actual sorta bully way, but he pissed him off and bothered him all the time on purpose so that maybe gradually he'd be less interested and ended up just repressing that crush for the longest time ever

Edit i started this two days ago and my headbhurts so bad rn that I can't finish it so just deal with what I've got yall, ask if u want more or smtn

I feel sorry for the people who are musical fans only and have never read the book because y’all have never met the absolute insanity that is Dallas Winston

[curlyshepardconfirmed]

No but for those of you who've read We Are Not Free by Tracie Chee (if you haven't you've gotta read it like rn it's fucking amazing) and the Outsiders

Doesn't minnow remind you of ponyboy, doesn't Mas remind you of Darry, doesn't Frankie remind you of Dallas, doesn't Tommy remind you of Johnny, doesn't Shigeo remind you of Soda, doesn't Stan remind you of Steve

Like GUYS IM SO OBSESSED IT'S NOT OKAY.

[curlyshepardconfirmed]

Oh my god oh my god oh my god latino Steve Randle I never thought I'd need you until I knew you existed okay

Him calling Soda "mi cielo" or "mi tierra" guys

Chorizo and eggs with tortillas too in the morning omfg the Curtis gang would EAT THAT SHIT UP !!

In my hc Steve's mom died when he was younger and I can totally see him having her on his ofrenda at his house and Soda sees and just :(

"Is that your mom?" "Yeah." And Steve teaches Soda about Dia de los Muertos and Soda helps him save up for flor de muerte from a garden shop in town and you see Steve's house so alive with color and Steve walks Soda through making pan and lighting candles and making their own papel picado and homemade horchata because his mom loved horchata

mexican steve randle you will forever mean everything to me 🥹

like just imagine him, disconnected from this part of himself, finally learning to be somewhat comfortable and showing the curtis gang his favorite foods, sayings, and bits of culture

steve teaching everyone how to make homemade pupusas and tamales, and some little things like fideo and rice become a common dinner side [these are just cause those are some of my favs my family makes]

steve makes migas for soda once and it turns into one of his favorite breakfast foods [me too soda, me too]

he teaches soda the little bits of spanish he knows and they call each other sweet things like "mi amor", "mi corazón", and "mi alma" [and stupid things like "tonto" and "puta"]

he slips up sometimes and says things like "ay dios mio" and "aye yai yai" out of pure exasperation [same], which then gets added to sodas vocabulary

he owns so many sarape blankets and keeps a few of his favorite ones at the curtis house, everybody loves them for their warmth and texture and prefers them when sleeping over

OH MY GOD TRES LECHES it becomes the second favorite cake to their classic chocolate <3

ill tag some ppl too just cause i think i should start doing that :3 @deim0sdread @n0rthern-star @tex-aintdeadyet

[curlyshepardconfirmed]

Curly Shepard headcannons right now

Oh my fuck where do I start

Putting ts under the cut or whatever it's called so the hoard doesn't rage at me

Well the first one is that Curly is his legal name bc Tim knew that he and Angela were gonna be twins but he was planning for two girls, so he had Angela's name picked out already but when Curly showed up he just stood there like 🧍‍♂️. looked at his hair and then named him Curly the rest is history

Oh yeah and he and Angela are twins and he's older by two minutes but everyone thinks it's Angela who's older because he doesn't act the most mature (he's immature as FUCK) but he likes rubbing it in Angela's face

AUDhd, definitely hyperactive and inattentive but it's the 60s so his dad just said he was too stupid and decided to homeschool him and that ended with him getting beat more often than not

He helped Tim kill his dad the day that things got out of hand, and honestly to this day he's had no qualms about it whatsoever since he'd never seen that man as a father more than he did a beast.

Curly's extremely sensitive about his hair because hes always sort of associated touch with pain, especially because his dad didn't know how to take care of his type of hair, he'd fuck him up in the bathroom after getting frustrated with the tangles and knots and curls. Tim took over the hair routines for Curly and Angela once he found Curly alone in a bubble bath with bruises and a comb stuck in his hair unaware of how long his little brother had been in there

Curly drinks, not as much as Angela does, but certainly enough for it to be concerning. He's only really able to regulate how much he drinks because it reminds him of his father, the things he'd do while drunk.

He's liked Ponyboy since they were young but he's also the kind of little shit to bully him because he likes him. Like he'd dump ice down the back of his shirt and run off and throw sticks at him but then the two became friends and eventually boyfriends though curly went fucking crazy when pony dated Cathy btw.

He won't ever admit it but he despises it when he's alone. He hates being alone more than anything, it's why he starts as many fights as he does. You'll never find Curly alone, he's always trailing someone or hanging out with his friends or with Angela

He is such a fucking tattletale man and I'm pretty sure this is canon bc he told on Dally to Tim about his tires. Tim knows basically anything Curly knows so the few months where he wouldnt tell Tim about ponyboy it was kinda concerning

He is the funniest and whiniest mf when he's injured like someone will dial the shepard house phone like hey can curly hang out and he'll be like no but i can sit the fuck down and wait for you to come over and people will get mad at him for the obvious attitude but he won't give a flying fuck bc he'll point out that he's injured and whine abt it so Tim and Angela are just stuck with the nuisance taking up the couch and milking the injury as long as he can

When its actually serious though, Curly would ignore all his injuries if he wants to go to a rumble, or if Tim needed help, or if the gang needed help

Uhhhh I'm sure i have more somewhere but you can just ask me specifics I really don't care I'll answer any asks as long as they're not weird
