Rusty-James x Sunshine! Fem! Reader

Summary: The difference between the bully of the streets and his sunshine girlfriend.

So we all know Rusty-James is the big dog around where y'all live.

So it was a shock to everyone when you two got together.

There was NO way in hell that Rusty was gonna let Smokey get to you like he did with Patty.

People tried telling you that he was just gonna hurt you.

Never. Not in a million years.

Smokey has tried to lie to you about Rusty-James sleeping with a broad.

“Y/n i'm tellin you, you don't need him, he's sleepin with a girl down at the bar.”

You never believed it.

When Rusty found out about it, he kicked his ass.

You hate seeing him upset when his brother leaves.

He may not say it.

But you can see how upset he is when Motorcycle Boy leaves.

He loves holding you close.

LOVES LOVES LOVES LOVES LOVES LOVES when you show him stuff that you are excited about.

Like one time, you were at the beach and saw a jellyfish. 

When I say you RAN to him, and dragged him to the water.

“Rusty! Come look! It's a jellyfish!”

Or anytime you see a pretty girl.

“Oh Rusty she’s so pretty- hold up i have to go tell her!’

“Hey you’re really pretty!” You said, looking at her as she smiled and thanked you.

He loves how kind you are.

And speaking of “Pretty girl”

He calls you that ALL THE TIME.

AND WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY NEXT IS CANON IN MY MIND AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO! 

So when he first met you, he was playing pool and his drink was on the bar.

And it's kinda hard to play pool in public because people will steal your spot.

So he didn’t want to move and have his place stolen.

And he didn’t know your name and he wanted to ask you to hand him his drink.

So what ended up coming out was “Hey, uh pretty girl can you hand me that drink right there?” 

He was lowkey embarrassed.

Because he didn’t mean to.

But he didn’t know your name.

“Pretty girl?” Steve questioned him

Rusty-James never told someone to shut up so fast in his life.

God he’s just- oml.

Finally got my desired copy of Rumble Fish and since I pushed through the weekend with my work, now I have some time and calm to read it. I was looking forward to read it again so much!! I just love Rusty-James, he is so unique and feels so real. ♡

Rusty-James and Motorcycle Boy parallels make me want to SOB

[doll-days]

Outsiders & adjacent Hinton book fandoms, give me your saddest headcanons. Like, you think about it & your GRIPPING your pillow SOBBING your EYES out.

I’ll go first. :3

Spoilers for That was Then, This is Now!

I think Mark is a loud crier, but not naturally. I think that, when his parents were still alive, he had to be loud just so he could get comfort from them. Later, it became deeply-rooted in his psyche, so he just. became that way.

Rusty-James didn’t learn how to speak properly for…the longest time, so he had to be mute for years. Also, he learned Spanish first, & his peers didn’t know Spanish, so he couldn’t. talk to them. (Steve had to teach him English because of the issues, & Rusty’s way better at it than Spanish, but…every time he gets stressed out, he goes non-verbal for hours.)

if the freaks over on ao3 can have rusty-james x ponyboy then i should be able to have dallas x the motorcycle boy. cringe dead teenage boys

[motorcycle-boyy]

this is a bit of a broad question but how did you interpret rumble fish? What did you take away from the story?

well uh

i am the motorcycle boy !!!!!

anyway its beena while since ive read it; i think the basic rundown of it is that rusty-james was too caught up in becoming something he couldn't, that he didn't realize the effect on himself and others until it was way, way too late he painted a picture for himself in his head of his brother, and ignored his actual advice, which ultimately let to his downfall. he didn't truly want to be like his brother, he wanted to be like how he thought his brother was, or perhaps a younger and more reckless version

[changesxnight]

dating rusty james??

if you can, could you do sfw and nsfw?

(or just sfw oif your uncomfortable with nsfw)

hi honey! give me an age, over 18, and I’ll definitely do some nsfw headcanons. I just feel weird trying to think of some for a fourteen year old, you feel?

how old do you see him as?

A collection of my favorite SE Hinton Outsiders tweets:

BONUS: the multitude of tweets correcting ppl that sodapops real name is just soda. pony was "exaggerating" when he made the birth certificate comment to cherry.

(rusty-james is 14 mind you 😭)

One thing I never get... Matt had long hair he had to cut for Dally but Dally is the one who doesn't like haircuts and his hair is described longer with partly curling and all... And he HAD that. And he didn't like his hair getting cut for the part and I think as Rusty-James, his hair is like I imagined it. I have that one poster on my wall and whenever I look at it I think it fits the exact description, just not the color but I think with almost white hair he would have stuck out too much and the way he's discribed I always kinda think of Legolas? XD I prefer Matt over Legolas but the length should have been like Rusty-James, maybe even a bit longer.

I often feel Rusty-James gives me more of a book!Dally vibe than him as Dally and I can't even describe why. He's somehow a little bit more.. idk.. raw?

[triangleguy]

a couple people have sent this to me but i dont think its on here yet and i NEED you all to see it im losing my mind. who paid him to do this

[doll-days]

Fuck drawing characters with “perfect” features. Give your fav inflamed gums. Make your blorbo have crooked teeth. Get fucking wild with it.
