🌟Blessings to Expect throughout 2024 ♦︎ Timeless Pick A Card

‘You’re always here. What are you doing?’

‘Nothing…nothing in particular.’

‘You’re Saibara’s grandson, right? Aren’t you working at the Blacksmith shop?’

‘I’m not interested in that. I want to go back to the city.’

‘Oh… I came from the city, too. My dad moved the family to this village because he was going to study plants. I felt lonely at first. But the people here are all very kind.’

‘I don’t feel lonely. But I can’t find what I want to do in this village.’

‘What is it you want that you can’t find here?’

‘Well, it’s…oh, nothing…’

‘My mother always says that if you can’t find what you want to do, then do what you can see to do now. Nobody finds what they want immediately. But if you waste your time every day because of that, you’ll never find anything... To tell you the truth, I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet, either. See you.’

— Mary and Gray’s conversation from Harvest Moon: Back To Nature

SONG: Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland

MOVIE: The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Pile 1 – Welcoming Love, True Love

VIBE: Ready for Your Love (feat. MNEK) by Gorgon City

end of a struggle – King of Swords

You’ve been incredibly and marvellously responsible for…quite a number of years, I think? For some of you maybe a couple of months or so. But your struggles have ended; nearing ending; or you just haven’t realised yet how everything has changed for the better now. If you take a moment to really notice yourself, I’m sure you can tell just how much clearer you’ve become about many things pertaining to your surrounding and sense of Self. I feel you’ve worked really hard to overcome excessive trauma noises that have caused you a great deal of psychological pain.

Starting this year, you can feel more confident in your intellectual capacity to gauge situations right in front of you. Making choices will be a lot easier now because you’re clear about who you are as a person and what it is you truly want out of your own existence. You’ve clearly set enough boundaries with those who didn’t have your best interest. Seems to me you’ve learnt the hard way to be more selfish in the spirit of self-preservation. And so, the adventure of a lifetime begins right this moment.

In fact, I feel like your entire Life up until this point has been quite the adventure—only it has been filled with sorrow and misery, sorta. Surely it was your Hero’s Journey taking shape for the early chapters of your Life’s Story. A slow burn of a lifetime, if you will. Beginning this year, you’re entering the most exciting part of your rise to glory and everlasting happiness!

in your favour – 8 of Pentacles

You’ve been hustling behind the scenes for the most part. At least, those who aren’t close to you will never know just how much work you’ve put into bettering your world from the inside out. You worked so much on your mindset; you must’ve exercised a lot, too; tried to eat more cleanly and healthily; worked on your glow-up; brushed your skills; etc. You were investing in yourself for the future vision you’ve always held close to your heart. And for that reason, the seeds are now blooming.

You’re making me think of the bamboo plant. Did you know that a bamboo seedling takes around 5-7, maybe even 8-10, years to gestate underground? All alone in the dark without anyone knowing what’s going on down there. And when the seedling shoots up to the surface, the bamboo plant is famous for being the fastest growing plant there ever is.

So yeah~ fast or no fast in your mind, the point is that you’ve done the work on yourself and all the plans you’ve ever had for your Life. This year, 2+0+2+4=8, is the year you reap all the rewards and grow even faster from where you are now. Whatever undertaking you begin this year will gain traction super fast! Pat yourself on the back because when things get super good, you deserve to take a small break and just enjoy how far you’ve come~! Breathe~

catching stars – Page of Wands

Your Story is totally far from finished. With the Page aenergy—a kid’s aenergy—you’re only on the precipice of entering a Life of passion and purpose. You could almost say, it’s a new Story altogether just because this chapter of your Life is SO SO SO super good in comparison to the chapters about your struggles. I guess you’d call this a new arc huehue

You’re young Hercules now. Pretty soon, there will occur some big event that propels you into a bona fide hero, and then, you’ll meet your Megara~ This part of your Story is where you enter a circle of true—at least truer—friends and lovers who will motivate you throughout the next chapters of your Life. Sure, sure, struggles don’t just end, poof, like that and you will continuously need to learn to sift through these new breeds of friends and acquaintances. But that’s also part of your next level growing up, so don’t sweat the possibilities XD

Throughout 2024, you could be moving to a new environment and then meet new friends. Highkey you’re gonna be meeting Soulmates and Soul Fam members; these are the people who resemble you so much either on the inside or outside. These are people who think like you, care about the same things as you; basically you’re gonna finally feel like you truly belong somewhere on this Planet. Love is in the air because you’ve been giving so much Love to yourself before this point. You are Love. You emanate Love wherever you go because you love yourself, and thus you become a magnet for people who also will love you just as good~

Pile 2 – Rising Up to Accept Yourself Wholly

VIBE: She Said from Kamikaze Girls

end of a struggle – Knight of Cups

You’ve kinda just gone through a death of a paradigm of sort. I feel that in the past, you simply didn’t really know who you were or what you were meant to be. This confusion of an identity was caused by your parents/caretakers not really appreciating you for who you were as a child or it could also be caused by your environment, race, culture, custom, tradition, stuff like that. It wasn’t your fault, you know. You literally grew up on your own and finally got clear about your own identity—you stopped caring if your real identity is too weird, too eccentric for this world.

Basically, you got tired of rejecting yourself. And you realised that you were doing that because you knew others wouldn’t accept you. Then you realised people are shitty and lame for the most part anyway, so you learnt to be OK with embracing all of your weird heart’s little desires. And you nurtured yourself and nurtured yourself until you rose above the lameness of most of Humanity. Did you know? You did the right thing, really. Through and through.

You’re definitely an Advanced Soul. I think even when you were a kid you always felt like there was some spirit/shadow parental figure walking behind you, guiding your thought processes. This older/bigger unseen figure was really just your own Higher Self, you know :D More than others would give you credit for, you’ve been such a good gal/boi for always listening to the guidance of your Higher Self~

in your favour – 3 of Pentacles

Beginning this year, you’re going to finally meet people who are similar to you. Similar as in, you’re going to meet a lot of colourful characters, really. People who also feel somewhat like society’s outcast. These people are going to come from various backgrounds and they will each have very interesting back stories and life experiences that will entertain you for a long time. These people could also have very strange, unusual hobbies that will spark your interest in new, alien pursuits.

With that said, this year could be the year you begin a new passion project of your own, with these people, new friends, you share a vision with. They do care about you and want to succeed together, so you can trust that these connections are going to bear sweet feelings for you. Most importantly, this year you’re going to know the sweet feeling of doing something meaningful with your natural talents born out of your innate interests. When you finally get the money, you will first and foremost taste gratitude from those who seem to love and enjoy what you do or have to offer~

Life really is getting better now because you’ve mustered the courage to explore your possibilities in all your eccentricity. Your Higher Self never meant for you to fit in anyway. You were always meant to be some sort of a genius trailblazer—a source of inspiration for the other lameass Humans who are too afraid to be themselves.

catching stars – 10 of Pentacles

What more can be said? On top of embracing yourself fully, loving yourself wholeheartedly, and meeting kindred spirits, you’re also going to gain a massive amount of money! Life’s always good when you have a lot of money! More money means a happier heart and more to share as well. But in your case, if you’ve chosen this Pile as your main pile, know that before a lot of money even trickles into your reality, it is the sense that you’re serving your Life Purpose what will make you feel rich.

After all, there could people reading this who came from a wealthy background and you may think you don’t crave or even care about money. Exactly. You never cared about a lack of money but didn’t you struggle with grounding yourself to this Reality because you didn’t know what you were put on Earth to do? This ‘10 of Pentacles sense of abundance’ encompasses a sense of material abundance that feels deserving; you can now feel worthy of getting paid for some passionate, incredible, show-stopping contribution you’ve made to society. Isn’t that such a wonderful feeling?

Some of you reading this could mend some broken bonds with family; some others could finally find a tribe—a Soul Family—and feel that you belong; some could start a family of your own with someone worthy of your high-grade affection. Congratulations~! You’ve really made it this far~ Things can only get better and better from here♥︎

Pile 3 – Stepping On the Pedestal of Destiny

VIBE: Cheer Up, Charlie from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

end of a struggle – King of Pentacles

If you’ve chosen this as your main pile, I just know it that you’ve been working so hard on yourself, on a level that’s practically incomprehensible for most people. I’m sure you’ve survived so many deaths of the spirit—and perhaps even some of the more dramatic attempts. And you’ve come on top of your misery now. You’ve gotten healthier and clearer about where you’re going next. I sense sometimes you still doubt yourself but it isn’t a sin to doubt, it’s just a sign that you want to do well. And on so many levels, sometimes you’re afraid because you genuinely want this dream/vision to happen to you.

I assure you with this reading that you’re on the fast track towards a rendezvous with Destiny. Fast…is honestly relative to each Soul’s blueprint tho XD Time is on your side and what’s meant for you can’t miss you. So chillax, OK? One thing to know about this great dream/vision of yours is that you’re going to see it manifest because you’re different from the rest. Different in that you want to see it manifest to be of service to the rest! When you really think about it…

Don’t you just know from deep within your Soul that you’re deserving of this great destiny? It’s because you’re going to serve a massive purpose with it! So many people would benefit from your realising this dream. And that’s the very thing! You’ve been holding on to this vision, and you want it, because you’re MEANT for it.

in your favour – 4 of Cups

I’ll be referencing the 1971 ver. of Willy Wonka here. And honestly, I think you should watch it by the weekend or something because that movie’s whole vibe will feel tremendously validating to you, I sense hahah

Have you heard of the theories that say Charlie was literally singled out by Willy Wonka from the very beginning? That he had chosen all of those horrible brats because he wanted to punish, oops, teach them a lesson, and that principally he had been watching Charlie and wanted HIM to inherit the Chocolate Factory. If you watch the 1971 film you’ll literally get it! And with this 4 of Cups, know that that’s how the Universe feels about you stepping into your destiny. Willy Wonka, or God idk, doesn’t want anybody else but YOU to fulfil this role~!

You’ve literally been chosen and singled out by the Universe to win the grand prize! Just so you know, as I’m typing these words I literally have the Willy Wonka movie playing on another window and as I typed ‘grand prize’, the person in the movie is saying it right at the same time at around the 19:11 minute mark. Things can’t get any more synchronous than that!🤯

This year, you’ll really see how every single thing is going to work out in your favour. And knowing the inner work you’ve done on yourself, I’m sure you’re spiritually mature enough to sense, to notice every small nudge that tells you what you need to do at a given time😊New adventures are just around the corner, baby~!

catching stars – 5 of Pentacles

So you see, how is 5 of Pentacles appearing for a segment about you catching stars? This is, in fact, reaffirming that your dream come true will also serve as a salve for those who are wounded and hurting. You really are a medicine for this sick world. This year, you’re going to see serendipitous events and meetings what will open the door towards the physical manifestation of your dream Reality. Once you step on to the pedestal of Destiny, there’s no stopping you. You’ll be moving so fast it drives you mad!

This card is also saying you must be careful of possible leeches coming towards you; it’s best to use caution and discernment when revealing to others your plans and goals. Be stingy with information as per your gut instinct’s nudges, OK? Be mature enough to know not everybody will be happy at the prospect of your massive success that could potentially change Mankind. People get envious of such ideas, alright? Be careful not to hit the already low self-esteem of some people around you LMAO

I also feel that this year you will begin new routines that benefit your health and physical strength. If this is something you’ve been working on, you will see this year that the implementation of these routines feels more natural and effortless. You’ve managed to master your thoughts, emotions, and time management—or soon to do. Money will also come more abundantly, so all your basic needs are easily met. You’ve become a magnet for good luck—or soon to notice you’ve done so!🍀

TS3 World Adventures - Chinese Chopsticks Longer & Texture Replacement Mod

D E F A U L T R E P L A C E M E N T

New custom mesh and 5 textures to replace EA default chopsticks.

Reason why I made the change:

Chopsticks portrayed in The Sims 3 World Adventures are too short. Shang Simla is China world, therefore chopsticks in-game should be portrayed as Chinese chopsticks, which are the longest compared to Japanese and Korean chopsticks.

EA Default Chopsticks. Short, too boxy and have pixelated & stretched texture of "random Simlish Chinese writing".

The modded textures:

福 ( Fú ) means happiness, luck, blessing, good fortune.

龙 ( Lóng ) Chinese Dragon symbolizes gods who control rain, weather, and seasons; kind, benevolent, powerful, who bring luck and prosperity.

Peacock symbolizes "grow old together" and will bring harmony to the couple and a long-lasting marriage.

FuZi_Mu ---> Hanzi writing "Fú" with wooden texture.

2. BaiNianHaoHe ---> Peacocks with Hanzi writing "BaiNianHaoHe" / 【百年好合】 means "To bless this unison with harmony that would last over hundred years".

In short, wishing the couple everlasting eternal love.

Recommended for your couple Sims and especially have just married.

3. Long_HuangSe ---> Yellow colour and has Chinese dragon image with Hanzi writing "Lóng".

4. FuZi_HeiSe ---> Hanzi writing "Fú" with black colour.

5. FuZi_HongSe ---> Hanzi writing "Fú" with red colour.

This is custom 3D mesh I created by myself. The bottom end of chopsticks has round shape and upper end has rectangle shape.

I increased the size of texture to 1024 pixels. You can see the details on the chopsticks clearly.

⚠️ Disclaimer: The mod doesn't alter the animation in-game. If you see the chopsticks going through Sim's hand, you should ask that to EA employees why they made the default chopsticks position and animation like that. Default EA The Sims 3 chopsticks are already going through the Sim's hand in the game.

Requirement: World Adventures Expansion Pack

Sim must have Asian trait to have chopsticks while eating.

Tips to unlock Asian trait: NRaas > Master Controller > (Sim) > Advanced > Traits > Change (Master Controller Cheats add-on module required)

⚠️ This package will be replacing the default EA, so you have to choose one. Installing more than one default replacement will cause conflict. ⚠️

As usual, install one of these packages on Package folder. You can safely delete the package if you no longer want to use the default replacement.

【 Download FuZi_Mu】

【 Download BaiNianHaoHe 】

【 Download Long_HuangSe 】

【 Download FuZi_HeiSe 】

【 Download FuZi_ HongSe 】

The clock may be ticking for Outlander on TV, but the story is everlasting for bestselling author Diana Gabaldon, who writes the historical fantasy books (nine and counting!) upon which the show is based. Debuting in 1991, the first Outlander novel has spawned several sequels, spinoff novellas, and ultimately the intense Starz drama that viewers have come to love. With the final episodes on the horizon and new prequel series Blood of My Blood forthcoming, Gabaldon reflects on the show’s end and offers a peek inside her notebook.

What have you been happy to see so far in Season 7?

Diana Gabaldon: One of the things the Outlander production as a whole does really well is battle scenes. We’ve had a certain amount of the [American Revolution’s] Battle of Ticonderoga, the first Battle of Saratoga, and a lot of the second Battle of Saratoga. And I absolutely loved the actor playing Benedict Arnold, Rod Hallett. The casting this season has been spectacular. Every character is just right.

Would you say that Benedict Arnold was the character you were most excited for fans to meet this season?

He is historically fascinating, and I did a lot of research work on him because he plays a large part in more than one of the books. And we’ll see him again in Book 10. His story is very interesting. Everybody knows how his story ends, or at least they think they do. But yes, I was just impressed that, between the script and the actor, they pretty much nailed him and captured his sense of reckless adventure and his charm. Luckily, they used a lot of the book dialogue for it, some of which was taken from things that Benedict Arnold himself said.

With the show set to conclude with Season 8, do you have an ending in mind for Claire and Jamie’s story on the page?

Yes, I have shared the ending scenes with [the creative team]. But as to the actual way the story comes to a conclusion? No, they don’t know that. [Laughs] But we’ll get there. I don’t write in a straight line, and I don’t work with an outline. This is why it takes me several years to write one book — not only the way that I write, which I describe as like playing Tetris in my head, but also just the sheer size and the fact that they are books of a continuing nature.

You’ve shared a few excerpts from your 10th novel in the series. Is there anything else you can tease about it?

Well, I’m still writing it. And I have a title, but I’m not revealing that until we’re a bit closer to publication. I don’t want to rub all the “new” off it. I can tell you that it’s got whales.

You’ve also written Season 2’s “Vengeance Is Mine,” “Journeycake” in Season 5, and the upcoming 14th installment in Season 7. Can we anticipate more scripts from you?

Yeah, it’s so much easier than writing novels. [Laughs] It takes me three weeks tops to write a scene. I will be writing a script for the prequel [Blood of My Blood] and one for Season 8 [of Outlander].

Though only one season has been given the green light, how long do you envision the prequel’s story to be onscreen?

Well, the television version isn’t up to me, but for what it’s worth, I have material for three — relatively short, as compared to the main Outlander novels — prequel books concerning Jamie’s parents. Blood of My Blood is based on the synopsis of the first of those books.

Apart from the ones you’ve written, are there any episodes you love so much that you wish you had?

Oh, yeah. There’s always at least one per season where I’m thinking, “Oh, this is fabulous.” It would be [Episode 8, “Turning Points”] for Season 7.

Do you have a favorite memory from your times visiting the set?

It would probably be the first season where they invited me to do a cameo [as Iona MacTavish] in Episode 4. It was fascinating being part of the set rather than visiting it. I was a cast member for three days. It was just interesting to see how it all worked.

Were you able to make it to set for Season 8?

God willing, I will be on set for a week or so next month [September 2024]. They’ll be filming the final block, for which I wrote one of the scripts, so I’d like to see a bit of it live. The last time I was on set for a prolonged period — as opposed to drop-in visits — was for Season 2’s “Vengeance Is Mine.” The food from craft services was always excellent, so I’m hoping to have a toastie, and I’m looking forward to seeing good friends.

How have the main cast’s performances surpassed what you envisioned on the page?

Sam Heughan does a fantastic job with Jamie, and Caitríona [Balfe], while she doesn’t look like the Claire of the books, certainly acts like her and is totally immersive in her character. I’ve [never] seen a bad performance by anyone at any level.

What will you miss most about the show?

I’ll miss the entertainment value of seeing dailies five nights a week, but otherwise, I’m not troubled. The end of a great adventure is always a bit traumatic and nostalgic — but it does leave you with a feeling of specialness, accomplishment, of having been part of a great endeavor. And they do live in my head, you know…

Are there more stories in this universe that you still wish to explore?

There’s always more I could write. Making the optimistic assumption that I’m going to live long enough, I have notes for [time traveler] Master Ray-Mond’s book (no title on that one yet) and for another [about Claire’s first husband, Frank], titled What Frank Knew.

Will you feel sad saying goodbye to Jamie and Claire?

I really don’t think I will — the main books are written with a lot of lacunae — spaces where we move from one block of story to another, leaving a hiatus of months (or sometimes years) in someone’s life. I can, should I want to, always go back to one of those places and write what happened while everyone was looking somewhere else.

100 outsiders thoughts in honor of 100 followers!!

this is being started on 2/18/25, when i have 89 followers. so from now until i hit 100, i will be adding random thoughts and headcanons on here that aren’t enough for their own post

also this is fun cause i’m writing this intro when starting this so then i’ll get to go back and see how often i think about what characters (my predictions for most mentioned are paul, darry, marcia, and chet) (also get ready to see 'they're so me coded' and 'this is so me' because i predict that a good majority are going to be projecting)

also i am not rereading these as i add new ones so if there are repeats, im sorry

1. marcia and bob as reflections of each other in cherry’s life because they both want what’s best for her as her bestie/boyfriend respectively but bob wants what’s best for her if it benefits him and marcia wants what’s best for her, no matter what it means for her

2. in my soc age hcs, chet is the youngest but only by like 2 weeks. marcia is just slightly older than him (but the group is very protective of her because they see her as the baby of the group) AND the group will use this against chet. this also pisses chet off so bad because the group will make SO many comments in the few weeks between their birthdays about chet being too young to hang out with them and he’s just there like “HER BIRTHDAY WAS ONLY TWO DAYS AGO”

3. darry, sodapop, and pony but miles, jesse, and winnie from tuck everlasting (like darry being the oldest, pessimistic one while soda is the energetic, adventurous one and then while pony likes darry, he is sooo close to soda and would be besties) (i hope this makes sense) (this is specifically either tuck everlasting book or musical. fuck the movie, they screwed up all the character relationships and dynamics)

4. titanic au where paul is rose and darry is jack (bev would be cal) (because bevpaul lavender marriage hc is so funny to me) (also she would be the best mean girl fiancée) (in the best way)

5. the rumble combos are really funny to me because like you have obvious ones like darry&paul, pony&bob, and then like soda&chet are fun because you have chetsoda and also cherrycola vs cherchet, and then you have two-bit&trip (marcia’s bfs) fighting each other. and then you have melvin&ace (which goes with mel and tilly’s lore) but then you also have sergei&steve and brill&dally like why is steve beefing with this random exchange student? why is brill the one going against dally?

6. in a modern au, bob, chet, trip, and brill had a youtube channel as young teens that was basically them trying to be like dude perfect or like mr beast and they would do those like “crazy internet challenges” (they would also force paul to be in the videos sometimes) (or help record) (he hated it) (they also let melvin and sergei feature on the channel) (they loved it)

7. brill gets a ring from his family for bev to propose (im thinking probably his maternal grandmother’s ring) (but it’s def either one of his grandparents or great grandparents ring)

8. modern brill’s favorite movie is titanic (but only bev and his parents are allowed to know this) (this is fully me projecting because it’s my favorite movie) (added edit later: i fully forgot until a day later when rereading what i've written so far that i already mentioned titanic so that's embarrassing that it came up twice in 8 thoughts)

9. soda and steve but it’s shawn and gus from psych (soda is shawn and steve is gus) (but i’ve heard it both ways) [that is a psych reference] [and my way of saying, i could see it the other way too]

10. soda was one of those kids that thought you couldn’t see him if he wasn’t moving so he used to bother darry so much and the second darry was annoyed, soda would just stand like in the corner like🧍‍♂️and think darry couldn’t see him and didn’t know where he went (darry reluctantly went along and pretended to not know, as insisted by their parents) (they figured the longer they could keep him in their sight instead of having him sneak around to do things, the better)

11. the soc girls all play sims together but in the way that they all have roles. bev is the CAS girly that makes all of their sims and gives them makeovers when they age up. cherry is the builder and she makes all their houses and community lots. and marcia is the one that actually plays with the sims and plays out the storylines they came up with while cherry and bev watch and give input. and you KNOW that they have all the packs

12. marcia is a JOURNELER. like i think she writes generally and does like short stories and poems and stuff but her favorite thing to do is just sit down and journal. and you know she has one of those super pretty, organized aesthetic looking ones

13. cherry is a morning person, marcia is a night owl, and bev is one of those people that seems to be awake 24/7 (and is always tired) (but still doesn’t sleep) 3 am? she hasn’t gone to bed yet. that night at 11 pm? still awake. she doesn’t sleep

14. maggie soc girl is a ‘farm girl’. i don’t know if farm is the right term for it but like, her family has a small ranch where they have like a horse, some goats, and chickens/ducks (this is specifically maggie soc girl as her own character) (not as marcia or bev) (i refer to her as annie)

15. bev definitely has one of those ‘wife whose husband just died’ robes

16. steve is super into unsolved crime cases but only because he’s convinced he could solve them. he’ll ask dally for his opinion and the conversation goes like this: “dal, what do you think of *some police thing that was done*” “i don’t fucking know, why would you ask me? do i look like a cop to you?” “well no but you have experience with cops so i thought maybe you would know”. two-bit then feels bad that dally didn’t help so he tries to help but his advice is along the lines of ‘did they look for clues?’ ‘well if i were them, i would have just arrested the guy’ and ‘they need to figure out who they think did it and then see which one actually did it’

17. ponyboy uses goodreads to keep track of the books he reads and he writes reviews that are like “this book sucked. i loved it. 5 stars” or “this author thought they were so cool when they wrote *quote from book*. they weren’t. 1 star” he is BRUTAL

18. marcia knows how to crochet and she forced chet to let her teach her (they are siblings your honor)

19. pony loves coloring but coloring books stress him out because what if he colors them in the wrong colors? (he's so me coded. i love fandom coloring books but trust that i will be pulling up so many references to make sure everything is correct) also all of his art supplies are reorganized in rainbow order

20. puppet history from watcher but it's soda forcing darry and pony to sit through retellings of the few things he remembers from school (much of his information is wrong) (darry would be ryan in this situation who is beefing with the puppet the whole time and also never gets to win because it is rigged against him)

21. two-bit watches movies in other languages (without subtitles) and INSISTS he knows what is going on and he understands what they're saying (he doesn't)

22. chet LOVES batman (he’s so me coded)

23. chet has like 3 dogs because he’s def a dog person and they’re like big shepherds and labs. but he also has a cat because one. the urge to give him a cat was strong and two. sometimes he needs to lay in bed and cuddle with a little tiny cat and not his 3 big ass dogs that are basically the same size as him and take up his entire bed

24. in a modern au where the curtis brothers are starkid fans, their favs of the hatchetfield series are darry tgwdlm, pony bf, and soda npmd (this came to me because i was thinking about starkid and i was like wow pony would love starkid) (because the obsession is so strong that my brain thinks about these characters at all times)

25. hannah montana au where cherry is miley/hannah, marcia is lily, bev is oliver. paul is jackson. the love triangle with jake and jesse is with soda and chet. pony is rico.

26. paul can play guitar and he uses teaching guitar as a way to show his love (bob, cherry, marcia, and darry can all play a couple of songs on guitar because of this) (and they’re all different songs because paul chooses songs to teach them based off of songs that remind him of them) (he also tried to teach chet once but chet was… not good. paul ended that lesson in less than 10 minutes because he just couldn’t handle it)

27. ponyboy has a favorite pen and is soooo protective over it. like if he’s writing, it has to be with that pen and if someone is like ‘do you have a pen?’ he’s like ‘..well yeah but- be careful with it. don’t lose it. i need it back as soon as possible so be really careful’ and they’re like ‘🤨i just need it to write this one thing?’ (he’s so me coded) (emotional support pen fr)

28. ^he also always has a notebook on him cause he’s like “i need it in case i have an idea for a story or a drawing” but then he never actually writes in the book because every time he has an idea, it’s like when he’s in class or walking or like somewhere where he can’t write his idea down (once again, he’s so me) (my notebook is empty) (i repeat idea in my head repeatedly until i can add it to my phone notes and just hope i don’t forget)

29. steve used to make up random rules for whatever game he was playing with the gang just to make sure ponyboy couldn’t win

30. marcia is a baker and once she starts dating two-bit and becomes friends with the gang, she teaches ponyboy (darry is so jealous because he’s tried teaching ponyboy how to cook and pony always says he doesn’t care but now he’s baking with marcia) (but like in a loving way because he is happy to see ponyboy open up to someone since every thing that has happened and just seeing his baby brother grow up)

31. the college darry was going to go to/started at had the school colors of purple and gold so the madras shirt paul got him of those colors was a congratulations gift for graduation/getting into college. also makes it an extra punch to the face to remind darry of it right before the rumble because not only is it a reminder of what they used to be, whether friends or more, it’s also a reminder of everything darry had to give up because his parents died (i’ve gone into this one a bit before but it was in a reblog to another post so it never got its own post)

32. in every like ‘universe’ of the outsiders (like every iteration and fic and such), it is canon to me that darry and paul have drunkenly made out at least once or twice. even if they never actually date or anything in said universe

33. trip is a photographer (thank you cole zieser)

34. soda, steve, and two-bit get sucked into reality tv shows (but like the shows, not games. ie like the housewives, below deck, married at first sight, love island, etc) and they will get violent and start yelling at the tv. darry tries telling them to calm down and gets rapid fire excuses from all of three of them like “DARRY YOU JUST DONT GET IT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND” (dally sits in the room to ‘watch their reactions’ but he’s actually just watching the shows too) (they do like game show ones too but prefer these)

35. darry and paul used to joke that they were going to have to fight over the title of pony’s biggest supporter once he ‘went big’

36. because of that^, paul was one of the first people to buy a copy of the outsiders once pony published the book because even after everything that happened, he wanted to support pony (imagine these two hcs in the ‘pretty cool’ universe guys) (it’s so sad)

37. pony draws pictures and then let’s soda color them in (he also used to do this with paul where they would each draw pictures and then swap and color them in)

38. darry would freak out when doing group projects if he wasn’t able to choose his own group because he is a slight control freak and would need to make sure he’s with people he knows will do what he needs them to do (inspired by this fuck ass group project i’m doing right now) (i was not allowed to choose my group and i actually fucking hate it) (they keep not doing what they’re supposed to)

39. modern curtis family is one of those families that doesn’t have cable and only has streaming services

40. two-bit definitely lets his younger sister paint his nails (when he starts dating marcia, marcia and his sister paint his nails together)

41. modern pony DEFINITELY has wattpad on his phone but you know it’s buried deep in folders so that none of the gang ever sees it

42. darry’s boss at the roofing company is an old friend of mr curtis so he’s always looking after darry and trying to help out where he can (darry refuses to let this man help) (but if he can sneak in an extra break for darry or a couple extra dollars somewhere, he will be doing it)

43. darry can get overstimulated from noise very easily sometimes. when he’s with the gang, soda and pony are usually pretty good at picking up on when things are too loud for him and making everyone else quiet down. when he used to go to soc parties with paul, paul could always tell and they would leave early whenever it got too loud for him

44. when paul was still friends with darry, he would go out with the curtis family and he would always try to pay (at least for himself) but the curtis parents would never let him. when he realized that they were never going to let him no matter what, he started hiding money around their house so that they would have to take it (the couch cushions? there’s money. book on darry’s shelf? there’s money in between the pages. woah that’s crazy that there’s money on the floor, must’ve fallen out of someone’s pocket wink wink)

45. chet’s parents won’t get him a car so he has to get rides every where with the rest of the group (it’s a common occurrence for him to call one of the guys and be like “youre picking me up, right? right? please”)

46. chet, brill, cherry, and bev all did ballet but at different points in their lives. chet has older sisters that did it so he really wanted to do it as a toddler. his mom was able to convince his dad to let him do it cause she was like ‘let him do it for a year and then he’ll get tired of it and not want to do it anymore’ so he did it when he was like 4 and then had to stop after a year because his dad said it was a girl’s thing. brill did it from like 4-10. his parents were okay with it, they just want him to be happy, but he stopped after boys in his class and their parents started commenting that there must be something wrong with him and his parents for allowing that. he still dances but secretly because all the judgement he got was really upsetting to him. and then there’s cherry who started dancing at like 8 and loved it but then was tired of it by like 10 but kept going until like 13/14 cause it at least gave her something to do outside of her house and also her parents were pressuring her to keep doing it. meanwhile, bev’s mom is a toxic dance mom™️ so she was put in dance as soon as she could be at like age 3 and then danced until like 7 and then did competition dance until she graduates out of it (she loves the dance but hates the pressure her mom and teachers put on her)

47. chet has two older sisters that are now like adults and married and starting their own families but when chet was really young, they used to sneak him into their rooms after their parents went to bed so they could have sleepovers and hang out (i went into this in my family headcanons but their dad hated how close they were cause he was worried chet was going to grow up to be girly and un-manly because of how close he was to his sisters so he wouldn’t let them hang out)

48. modern pony is obsessed with percy jackson (paul has also read all the books and they bond over it) (darry enjoys reading but just can’t get into the percy jackson books so paul sits him down and explains all the series to him so that he can still bond with pony over them without reading them)

49. pony after windrixville having ptsd related to smoke and fire but he also pretty much has a nicotine addiction so he’s constantly struggling with the need to smoke a cigarette and also being afraid to smoke a cigarette

50. “pure as the driven snow” from the hunger games ballad of songbirds and snakes is sooo darry about paul coded. like darry talking about paul being ‘pure’ and ‘seeing the real me (darry)’ and “the world” in the song being tulsa (also the irony of darry calling paul pure when he’s not, just like lucy gray calling coryo pure when he’s not)

51. the curtis gang as a dnd group. pony is the dm, darry plays a wizard, soda plays a bard, two-bit plays a rogue, steve plays a barbarian, ace is a cleric, dally is a fighter, and johnny is a ranger

52. ^if the socs were going to play, paul would be dm. bob plays a barbarian, cherry is a cleric, trip’s a fighter, marcia plays a sorcerer, brill is a paladin, bev is a bard, and chet is a rogue.

53. you guys know those green, yellow, red card things that teachers use with young kids? pony was the type of kid to FREAK OUT if he ever got put down to yellow

54. descendants au where instead of auradon and the isle, it’s paul inviting darry and some of the other greasers to hang out with the football team and socs

55. soda loves winnie the pooh. like two has mickey mouse, soda has winnie the pooh (chet also loves winnie the pooh) (they’re so me coded) (i fucking love winnie the pooh)

56. soda is the type to quote an entire movie while it’s playing and then if anyone acknowledges it, he’ll be like “oh this is actually my first time seeing this movie”

57. modern au! if any of pony’s friends ever have car issues, he just goes “don’t worry i got this” and then pulls out his phone and calls soda (my dad is a mechanic and this is what i do) (one time a light in my friend’s car came on so i called my dad and he went ‘oh yeah, that’s bad, don’t drive it’ and i went ‘..so we can’t take it to the movies?’) (he literally went ‘did you hear anything i said’ but it was the fnaf movie, it was important) (the first time pony does this, they definitely he’s about to fix the car when he’s like oh don’t worry. and then he pulls out his phone instead and they’re like 🥲😐 oh this is your help)

58. academic rivals parry where darry runs against paul for class president ala take the wheel from rise of the pink ladies (darry is jane, paul is buddy, bev is susan) (inspired by that one soc saturday where paul was campaigning for class president)

59. little blue world by jason is so darry. like “it’s a little blue with its big blue sky and all its little little people spending their whole lives asking why” literally darry contemplating everything after their parents deaths

60. when my cat is doing something i don’t want her to do, i just pick her up and put her on her bed (and then she goes back to what she was doing and we repeat this like 3 times until she finally gives up). darry does this with soda and pony. he will just pick them up and put them in a chair/on the couch/in their bed when they’re getting into things and bothering him

61. pony is the most dramatic reader/movie watched ever. he’s gasping and putting a hand over his mouth or on his chest and muttering “i can’t believe it” to himself (if it’s a book and people are like ‘well what happened’ he refuses to explain. he’s just like ‘well you haven’t read the book so you wouldn’t get it’ but that does not stop him from continuing to react out loud just to make them wonder and want to know even more)

62. two-bit is a chronic victim of mobile game ads. he is downloading every single one cause he thinks it looks fun (and it’s always those ads that are actually nothing like the game)

63. i kinda went into this in my fic girl friends but marcia becomes really good friends with ponyboy after the events of canon (she’s good friends with the whole gang) (but her and ponyboy specifically just get along so well)

64. out of the soc boys, brill was the most accepting of having darry hang out with them (besides paul obviously)

65. modern pony sends ESSAYS when he's texting. the group will ask one question and all of a sudden there's 3 paragraphs worth of an answer (it could have been answered in one word)

66. jason’s song simple is so parry coded to me

67. perfectly marvelous from cabaret but it’s two-bit just forcing himself into marcia’s life and marcia acting like it bothers her (i specifically only know that jane horrocks version from the filmed stage production so if this doesn’t fit other versions, my bad)

68. "what the heck i gotta do" from 21 chump street as two-bit trying to convince marcia to go to prom with him (ignoring the rest of the context from the musical. marcia is not naomi. fuck naomi, i hate her)

69. a good girl's guide to murder au where darry is sal, paul is andie, soda is ravi, and cherry is pip

70. darry is the worst to watch movies and shows with because he is so good at predicting what is going to happen. he once spoiled a huge plot twist in pony's favorite show just by guessing it and when pony freaked out, darry was like "well if you really think about it, it's obvious" (10 year old pony was just like okay i guess, fully knowing he would have never figured that out) (this is based off of my mom) (she does this) (she figured out a huge plot twist of my favorite show with 0 knowledge of the show and only having seen that one episode) (she was then not allowed to watch any more episodes of the show with me until i finished the show, and now she can see them when i'm rewatching the show now that i know what will happen)

71. the soc boys took a debate class together. brill was really good at it, paul was good only because he's good with words, bob and chet were good with opening arguments but bad at responding back, trip was just not good at it and was being carried by the other 4

72. marcia did lessons for multiple instruments as a kid/young teen but her teacher was borderline emotionally abusive so she quit (hehehe she's so me coded guys)

73. cherry bites her nails, marcia picks at her nails, both of these drive bev insane because she loves having her nails done and she also will paint their nails and then they end up biting/picking at them and messing them up

74. out of the three disney princesses that existed in the 60s, cherry’s favorite was cinderella, marcia’s was snow white, and bev’s an aurora fan

75. modern cherry (or at least more modern than canon) can sing your fault from into the woods by herself (so can pony but he would never let any one ever find this out)

76. the three soc girls are all fans of american girl dolls but in the way that cherry likes the historical girls, marcia likes the girl of the years, and bev likes the look-a-likes (they all like all of them) (but those are their favs)

77. bevbrill as katniss and peeta (bev who’s more on guard and not trusting of brill at first because she thinks he’s lying about his feelings meanwhile brill is just so in love and would be happy if he could just get to talk to her every day forever, let alone be in love)

78. darry does the stereotypical parent thing where they’re super over dramatic and are white-knuckling the handle when soda or pony are driving

79. dead poet society au where pony is neil and johnny is todd

80. darry and soda both keep in contact with cherry after canon. like while pony is still healing and not ready to talk to her, they keep contact from a distance just to check on her because they see how bad pony is doing and they also know that unlike pony, she’s dealing with this all alone so they just want to keep an eye on her

81. chet is really good at committing to the bit. like someone will lie and he will go with it and you will not be able to tell that he’s lying to you. he could convince one of the other socs of basically anything, even when they know fully well that whatever he’s saying is not true

82. modern two-bit has a letterboxd account where he just reviews any movie with mickey mouse (he gives them all 5 stars of course) (he has a second account where he actually logs all the movies he watches but then he reviews them all “1 star, not enough mickey mouse” regardless of his actual thoughts)

83. epic the musical but it’s brill wanting to get back to bev (he is so in love with her) (like ody and brill would bond so much over just being so in love with their girls)

84. idk by bruce weigner (bruiser) is so darry coded. “i’ve just got to find a way to get out of my mind/craving validation from some people i don’t like/i don’t know them so why im caring so much/i don’t know/i don’t know” like that’s literally teen darry trying to figure out why he cares so much what any of the socs (minus paul) care about him

85. falsettos where it’s marvin darry, whizzer paul, trina soda, and jason pony (in the way that pony prefers soda over darry and is convinced darry hates him and also prefers paul over darry when they’re together and sees him as a friend rather than darry’s bf)

86. bob asked paul for his blessing before asking cherry out (chet later does the same, not knowing bob had done it and paul has to do everything not to break down in front of chet)

87. cherry and darry having a strange friendship dynamic in high school because cherry was always at paul’s parties but she was way younger than everyone else there (like she was a freshman while everyone else were seniors) and darry also felt out of place so they would talk at parties and drink together but they wouldn’t ever really talk outside of that setting because things were still too different between them for it to work at other times

88. child trip gets really competitive about games on the playground (this was inspired by melody saying on soc saturday that cole tends to be aggressive with his tags during soc tag because he gets nervous about it)

89. bev barbie fan, marcia monster high fan, cherry ever after high fan

90. ^speaking of barbie, the girls would have dragged their bfs to see the barbie movie and chet and paul would have been like “wait we have to come we don’t want to get left out” (chet and paul wanted to see the movie so they made excuses to go see it cause they didn’t want to go alone)

91. paul writing out “dar” when addressing darry because it looks like it’s short for darry but it’s actually short for darling (it doesn’t quite work out verbally because they’d be pronounced differently but i would love to say he still does it) (like around their friends and only they know what he’s actually trying to say)

92. you know those kids that ride the electric scooters around school campuses and then just leave them outside the door of the classroom? that’s modern trip (and melvin is so jealous cause he thinks it’s the coolest thing ever)

93. darry loves having his hair played with. if he’s cuddling with paul, paul is playing with his hair. he’s sitting on the couch with his brothers? soda and pony are pushing each other away to get to be the one to play with this hair. as much as they tease him for never greasing his hair anymore, they’re glad he doesn’t so they can play with it easier

94. modern pony would refer to people as “chat”. he walks into the room like “what is up chat” and darry and soda are just staring at him like why do you keep saying that????

95. modern soda laying in his room face down on the bed post breakup with sandy blasting the song sandy from grease from a speaker (darry and pony are desperate to get him to stop, because they want to make him feel better and also because it’s soooo loud and he won’t stop and they’re sick of hearing the song)

96. ace doodles on cards. something about the gang going to play a card game and all the cards having little drawings and messages written on them is so important to me. sometimes johnny and pony join her in doing it

97. post-canon there’s tons of johnny and dally’s stuff all over the curtis house and darry and soda have no idea what to do with it all and they want to let pony decide what to do with it all but he’s not even coherent of any of his surroundings cause he’s so out of it with grief so they just leave it around, waiting for pony to decide (most of it probably ends up in the same closet that all of their parents’ stuff is in)

98. so my dad is really good at drawing and when i told him i want to learn how to draw, his response was “well just draw it” so i’ve decided this is how both paul and pony respond if anyone asks them to teach them how to draw (darry who’s heard it from paul a million times and then hears it from pony once and he’s just like ‘oh no you guys are spending too much time together’)

99. trip is constantly making really bad jokes and the others laugh just to be nice but paul can’t even pretend to laugh so he’s just looking at trip like are you serious (inspired by dan and cole’s ‘beef’ over cole’s adlibs on soc saturdays)

100. my favorite book got mentioned here and my favorite movie got mentioned twice so it’s only right that the last one mentions my favorite show. modern ponyboy would LOVE the show once upon a time. he has a whole ass poster board where he’s writing out the whole family tree and all the connections (guys, if you’ve never seen this show, it’s batshit insane. like the first season is actually phenomenal and then after like mid season 3, they just threw caution to the wind and let embraced the craziness of it and it went soooo downhill but at least it was entertaining) (but pony would eat it up. like what do you mean the main character is co parenting her son with his other mom, who is her step grandmother and the two of them are the most popular non canon ship of the show) (also the musical episode?! all of those songs are on his playlists unironically)

i did it! 100 thoughts! that was actually crazy because it took me so long to get to like 30 even though it felt like i had written so much and i was like whoa this is gonna take forever and then the next 70 went by so fast. i’m writing this outro on march 2nd so it took me just under 2 weeks. i’m currently at 98 followers so we’ll see how long it takes for me to get 2 more (it’s now march 4th when i hit 100!!)

this was really fun though. please ask me for any further clarification on any of these if you’re interested. im also going to make another post with the rundown of how many times each character was mentioned

thank you for reading if you actually read all the way through to here!
