#why cant i toughen up ugh

[hkpika07]

Ngl and say the new kamen rider freaks me out a little. Like I like the suits and the different forms. But the whole... his driver is his ACTUAL stomach and stuff leans a bit into body horror. And I... cannot do body horror. At all. Period.

And I know it's a kids show and it's probably mild but idk something about it freaks me out. It's probably fuckin stupid to be off put by it and I'm sure the story will be good but... hhhhh no the driver stomach freaks me out I can't do it I'm sorry.

inspired by a post from @jamandjazz

How Johnny Cade, Dallas Winston, and Steve Randle are affected by their parent issues.

ok so keep in mind i havent read the book since december (i dont have my own copy) so this might be a bit wrong. im using info from my mind, the movie, the musical, tiktok, and here.

Johnny Cade

so its canon that johnny wouldve ran away if it werent for the gang (starting off strong with dally-johnny parallels OUCH)

the abuse from his parents definitely gave him a fucked up sense on what it means to feel loved

which is why johnny gets along with dally so well, i'll get into that more in dally's part

he 100% thinks that the entire world hates him except for the gang

someone said that he is so sweet its sick, not true. the abuse definitely toughened him up enough that he will be mean to strangers

he canonically is somewhat responsible (going out to the store to buy supplies and giving ponyboy a note)

im saying that because im pretty sure pony says something like twobit and someone else in the gang would forget to buy something johnny remembered

johnny learned that from having to live out on the street sometimes when his parents fought or kicked him out for multiple days

he is the living definition of forgive but never forget

he just wants a home

i personally hc that the abuse started as johnny grew older, maybe when he was 6-8 years old

which is why johnny (especially in the musical) still cares about his parents

because he remembers that they WERE good people

and he hopes to bring them back eventually

Dallas Winston

oh this man...

ran away from his problems. thats canon

his mom died when she gave birth and thats why his dad is the alcoholic deadbeat abuser he is

the abuse from his parents gave him a fucked up sense on what it means to love

which is why he can talk to johnny so well because johnny is used to the type of love dally gives

he 100% hates the world except for the gang

the abuse toughened up both johnny and dally, the thing is dally grew up with it, johnny was raised with love at first

also dally's environment in ny, that place is rough in many areas

tulsa doesnt have that, at least not on the level of ny

he's rough with everyone because thats what he learned

Steve Randle

UGH THIS MAN BRO

screw u se hinton for giving us NOTHING abt him

anyways!!

the neglect sooo fucked him up

then his dad giving physical money for forgiveness?

hell nahhh

steve definitely felt like he cannot be loved without paying someone

like with real money

which made him feel unlovable because he's like broke as fuck

soda was the first person to show him what love actually is

his mom uhh eloped to wherever after steve's birth ig idfk

steve thinks everything in the world comes with a price, even an ounce of love

i literally cant think of shit for this man rn

All Three

accidentally trauma bonding

johnny mentioned something then both steve and dally said "same"

genuinely concerning from an outsider standpoint but really funny to them

if it was modern au darry or soda wouldve sent them to therapy

one time johnny got kicked out and went to the curtis house and found steve in the kitchen

j: "kicked out?"

s: "...yeah"

j: "same."

then dally walks in

d: "bottles got thrown at me in buck's place"

j: "ptsd?"

d: "no-" *remembers he's with two people who had it happen to them* "...yeah"

j and s- "its good."

johnny convinces them to do a cuddle blob thing (the gang's done them before)

darry wakes up and see them, doesnt comment but remembers for blackmail

i swear im going to blow my brains out whenever silva is on screen it makes me so mad because killua i think does love his father. i think he sometimes has moments of connection with him that make him trust him enough to tell him about his feelings and relationships and memories and all of that. and i dont think that silva Doesnt love killua but he mostly acts the way he does not to be the "good understanding father who turns a blind eye to make his son happy" killua craves, hes doing all of the things he does so he can blindside killua and manipulate him behind the scenes. its like killua trusts him so much and silva is fucking. Evil. i dont know.

so yall are hanging at your house on the couch, sipping tea and are exhausted. and so you all suggest to watch a movie so you tell stefan to fetch your fav (yes hes supposed to know) so he goes and brings the wrong one and you are livid bruh

like he hands the DVD to you and you’re like

“WHAT THE FUCK!? STEFAN THIS ISNT THE ONE I WANTED”

and hes like “o-oh i uh... i’m s—”

and before you can get a word out you get out off the couch, setting your mug down on the coffee table roughly

“WHY CANT YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT GOD? I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING IN THIS FUCKING HOUSE, HUH? AND IM PREGNANT TOO. UGH 🤬🤬🤬🤬”

and caroline elena and bonnie are just like “um... should we help them?”

and damon can’t stop fucking laughing he’s like “HAHA NO. this i-is hilarious 🤣🤣”

and caroline’s like “she looks like shes about to kill him.”

“or rip out her baby and throw it at him” bonnie adds

and damon just starts laughing HARDER AND HARDER at bonnie’s words

and youre just still screaming at him and stefan’s like 😕🥺 “im sorry. i thought i grabbed the right one”

and youre like “you thought? y-you THOUGHT? WHAT THE FUCK? YOU HAVE EYEs, CANT YOU CHECK??”

and you grab a pillow and throw it at him, and thats when stefan toughens up and is like

“alright. you need to calm down its time for bed.”

and youre like “NO. YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR—”

and you stop yourself as he suddenly picks you up bridal style. and youre like flailing in his arms like

“NO PUT ME DOWN YOU SON OF A BITCH I—”

“nope. i know youre mad and tired, but you have to stop shouting.”

and youre like “oh yeah, always the playing the peacemaker!”

and damon’s like “have fun you too!”

and then you turn your anger onto damon snd are like “YOU KNOW WHAT DAMON? FUCK YOU. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM GOING THROUGH”

and stefan shuts the bedroom door and calms you down while your friends are all like

“😧 wow. what a show”
