some outsiders modern au stuff (inspired by @marciavalance and also most thought of with her)

johnny is the school mascot. the mascot is a otter named oliver

^he is so not discreet about it too...

steve drinks/collects the most DISGUSTANG sodas possible. im talking bacon soda. im talking ranch soda. im talking pickle soda.

he just likes to collect as much insane sodas as he can. he drinks them warm and everyone watches his with a mix of appall, horror, and confusion

he buys them off of ebay. he probably got e.coli and a tapeworm from it

cherry and marcia have done the "pink pink pink girls girls girls" trend together

two bit speaks in brainrot ironically but he's done it so much that it's kind of just entered his vocab

^it pisses EVERYONE off

people have already said this but cherry posts hella GRWMs

like she's gone viral for it atp

AAAAAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo

HOLY SHIT SHUT UP

(even tho it’s johnny, he honestly doesn’t care)

[betterwithbooksthanwithpeople]

real because Darry would definitely have to go to either community college or the local branch of a state school so he can keep his part-time job to help his family put him through college in the first place while Paul is going to some fancy university out of state that costs, like, $80k a year, trust.

also you are so so right these guys are from freakin oklahoma they're having internalized homophobia in any and all time periods forever (sorry oklahoma). Darry's parents would be so much more chill than Paul's but ironically Darry is the one who's more freaked out himself about it I think. suddenly this near-nonexistent modern au is taking over my brain ok, thanks for listening lol

ok but why do Paul and Darry break up in modern au?? especially if everyone knows about them already and Darry’s parents are still around hmm. I’m genuinely curious to hear the thoughts lol

honestly that was kinda just a one off goofy post i don’t reallyyy do modern stuff LOL but probably same as usual in my head like issues w college and being apart?? also don’t think i wont still give them both the internalized homophobia issues that may or may not get better or worse with school/family/etc knowing bc its a core part of their relationship to #me no matter the generation lol

does the bbc even understand how much money they’d make if the made a Disney Enchanted 2007 style Merlin sequel where Merlin has been alive, moving from place to place, magicking himself young and aging then moving and magicking himself younger and aging then moving and suddenly Arthur pops out of a lake, completely unaware of current events and is walking around demanding his manservant, claiming to be King Arthur Pendragon and he either

a. Gets on the news somehow and Merlin, doing whatever he’s doing now, sees and drops everything because WHAT IS ARTHUR DOING HERE AND ALIVE

b. Meets Merlin who has been working as a detective somewhere -because that’s basically what he did anyway-solving things and helping people, the family business, and Arthur is dragged in, handcuffed, and plopped in an interrogation room or the drunk tank with the cop who found him saying like This wacko thinks he’s some medieval king, go deal with him, and Merlin scoffs and walks in, promptly dropping his files and spilling his coffee when he sees a disheveled and petulant Arthur, who goes Merlin, finally, get me out of here already, will you and Merlin starts crying lmaooo

or c. Meets Merlin who has been working at an ER because, again, he was physician adjacent, and someone drags a wet Arthur in, like Found this, it looks like he might hypothermiate deal with him, and Merlin sees him, drops his files, spills his coffee, and starts crying hahaha

because I’m thinking that’d be fun and probably everyone on tumblr and everyone who knows someone on tumblr would go bonkers over it

narusasu, 6k, rated m

Sasuke's never really babysat anyone before, but he's pretty sure it doesn't usually involve being taunted by a kid in front of your crush.

or: Sasuke Uchiha vs. the World, where Sasuke must defeat Naruto's 7 evil board games to get into his pants.

[heartsforjohnnycake]

modern au curly johnny and pony went to a gas station to buy a bunch of energy drinks during finals week and the cashier was an old ass man and he said “all those energy drinks are gonna kill kids like you!” and ponyboy said “thank fucking god” back and johnny has a video of it

[theblack-dog]

Modern AU where Darry marries Paul solely for money/benefits.

Darry doesn't hide his motivations either. Like, he literally called Paul over to his house one night and was like "hey, do you want to marry me? I need medical insurance," and they went to the court house the next day.

The funniest part is that Paul doesn't care that its a sham marriage, and is always like "oh, my dear husband that I love so much 💕" and Darry is like "Ponyboy needed a tonsillectomy and the hospital told me it was going to be $7,000 😐"

[girlishwhimsies]

two-bit and soda being that one “pretending to be a toxic married couple in ikea” meme is so important to me. god they’d be so annoying
