First Officially Published Fic, That's Actually Finished! Please Check It Out Or Reblog It If You Feel

JPC in Omaha yesterday singing Great Expectations!

sodapop headcanons!

hi outsiders tumblr fandom!! i'm a major fan of the musical and got to see it over the summer, but i've had the honor of playing Sodapop in the play version this last fall! i just figured i'd share a collection of characterization/characterwork/headcanons (except to me it's kind of canon?) thoughts!

feel free to ask any questions! some prefaces about our production (mostly director's choices)!

we casted genderblind, our pony and darry were played by girls!

soda did get sandy pregnant.....it wasn't cheating

the year is 1964! (this one isn't insanely relevant)

the curtis house was two stories (this will make sense later...) so first are some random character thoughts (mostly canon)

100% a momma's boy (ex-momma's boy...)

sticking to canon that he worked at a stable when he was 12, rip Mickey Mouse

quite the caregiver, in the sense he is incredibly emotionally intelligent (especially when it comes to his family)

very lighthearted person, walks through life that way

adrenaline junkie, consistently trying to enjoy life and have fun

emotionally vulnerable, but puts others first out of fear if he opens up too much he might not be able to stop

violently passionate and loving, viscerally supportive. ultimate loverboy

he isn't stupid! he just struggles to learn in the format school teaches

much more street and people smart

prideful but definitely fairly polite

confident in himself! though he holds insecurity in being dumb, since he's only regarded for being a looker...many many instances where he's been flirted with at work but is so oblivious because the comments are so common

puts his cold bare feet on whoever is sitting with him. walks around barefoot a lot in the house.

would drop all of his pennies out of his pocket...

would likely be a musical theatre kid in the modern day. his favorites are Mamma Mia and Little Shop of Horrors

big fan of rodeos, play fighting and drag racing

BIG fan of darry's chocolate cake

not at all a smoker

really not a cracked fighter... i lost my fight in the rumble (just the way it ended up being with my fight partner but...)

fave colors are blue and orange! specific relationships notes:

sandy and soda have been together for 2 years! momma curtis loved her

so so SO in love with her tho, basically worships the ground she walks on. he doesn't get over her for a whileeeee.... but he still doesn't blame her

dates to baseball games were so common.

definitely danced together- in the kitchen or out in the rain, at a party? dancing always.

strong relationship with darry (played by one of my bestest friends ever), he understands her and helps where he can, loves her and respects her a lot- but is able to joke around with her without it being too serious

two-bit (also played by one of my bestest friends) and him are pretty close, her actor and i have a bit that two-bit and soda hook up and maybe get together a few years after sandy.....no comment

steve and soda are pretty close! not as locked in as in canon but...(context: we basically wrote steve into the script) they are locked into the grind at the DX and definitely go out to rodeos and races together

johnny and soda are lowkey not the closest but also in a "we are best friends" kinda way, soda's insanely protective of her (genderbent!) after the jumping

dallas and soda were a lot closer when they were younger, soda likely introduced dallas to the group, but they kinda grew apart as they got older and especially after the curtis parents died... soda doesn't really approve of too many of dallas' choices, but he's still family

cherry... she definitely has thrown him a few looks when stopping by the DX... me and her actor like to imagine maybe they've flirted and had minor crushes on each other at one point in time i made a playlist, containing more time period based music and music i just think soda would listen to! (i'm contemplating still updating it whenever i find music i think he'd enjoy):

some of the leads in the cast also made "get to know me" sheets as jokes so here is mine!

in the script, it mentions the returned letter, so i got to make that prop! i actually ended up handwriting the letter, so here is it on a doc plus pictures of the letter! she also gave me one, so we could trade! it was sandy's unsent letter to soda back in Tulsa after she moved. sandy's last name was picked as a reference to sarahgrace from the musical cast :)

Google Docs

Soda's Letter

Dear Sandy, I really miss you, and I hope you've safe. I love you too, I didn't get to tell you that today. I'm sorry for that. You left ton

i think this is the end! thank you for sticking around so long :)

happy pride month guys

sodas isolated vocals 🥹😭

(POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW)

MOD OPINION

uhh no comment for this one sorry im not into MCYT

SUBMISSIONS

well his name is purple for one but also hes such a little bitch hes sooo mean girl and annoying teenage boy at the same time

canonical cringe fail assassin, has a dog named dogchamp, alien??

he is SO mean and annoying. he gets mad at people for trying to talk to him and angrier when he’s ignored. he had an entire revenge arc that culminated in three people’s deaths (including his own) because he was so blinded by rage that he couldn’t fathom any other way out. he’s a hitman with no regard for other people’s lives and has betrayed people who hired him for a hit because someone else offered him more money. also purple is literally in his name, so. linked below is a picture of him trying to kill a man

This guy literally tortured a man to get revenge on another guy that blew up his spaceship. I think it’s hard to get meaner than that. But also he has a dog called Dogchamp. Hope this works as a bribe.

he's such a fucking bitch he will kill anyone in cold blood if they annoy him, he thinks he's better than everyone else and he doesn't care about Anything except his dog called DogChamp.

He likes to kill for money and for sport. He has a vicious hate for short people (short meaning 5’4 and under)

Hes soooo fucking mean he's like a mean girl. He attacks people he's so snarky he only loves his dog and his spaceship and his spaceship got fucking blown up!!! No room in his heart for love only murder and money !!!!

he’s literally such an asshole. he’s so fucking mean all the time he kills people for fun a guy blew up his house once so his solution was to kill that guys boyfriend

literally killed a fan favorite (still based af)

oh god this is getting included anyways c!purpled is like the ultimate bitchy moody teenager, like he got scammed (basically) and then went on a murder hunt so. idk if that speaks for itself. also he is purple. his name is purpled

Look it’s in the name

A) he's a mercenary B) he's a bitch (affectionate)

Bro killed for a dollar or sum', he also like betrayed his boss by killing his besting friend but he was kind-of a girlboss tbh hes just a guy tbf

hes a little bitch who doesnt know anything and thinks he does. hes the world's most murderous teenager. hes so emotionally repressed that his emotions have bottled up emotions

Gonna be honest I don't know a whole lot about his character but he's purple he's an alien he's a mercenary and also he kinda got killed but still. Idk he doesn't have any friends besides his wolf and he's 100% fine with that he doesn't like the other anyway

He literally killed Charlie Slimecicle. Have you seen Charlie Slimecicle. Purpled is literally an asshole teenager please let me out of hereee

hes just simply a jerk ur honor. mfersjust here to be a toxic gamer + hes so funny for it
