oh that face says everything

Keating knows what's up

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately....

I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...

To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived."

- Henry David Thoreau | Dead Poets Society

😢 oh, Neil

I'm gonna act!

casual? I think not.

Happy reminder that it's canon that todd jumped into neil's arms!! <3

please it's my only wish

Me

My biggest roman empire is the connections between Dead Poets Society and The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Todd Anderson and Mr. Anderson

How Mr. Anderson cared so much for Charlie because he saw so much of his old self in him (Todd)

How Charlie's best friend (Michael) killed himself

How Todd's best friend (Neil) killed himself

The presence of a teacher that would change everything for Todd and Charlie (Mr. Keating and Mr. Anderson)

How reading is something so apreciated for the characters and so essencial in their lifes

How both Charlie and Todd were so lonely and the family they find in their newest friend group

Honestly, I could talk about it for hours in a row and it would still not be enough

thinking about Todd Anderson

let’s just say neil wouldn’t have had to worry about his father

anderpeanuts? dead peanuts society?

Rip Neil Perry, you would’ve loved gay marriage and the smiths

“Post a time you were at your lowest and nobody noticed…”

compared with oliver kissing james on stage in the middle of the play, knowing that would be the first and last kiss they ever shared.

thinking about todd giving neil a kiss for good luck before the play, not knowing that would be the last kiss they ever shared.

My top 3 books & movies

Books

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio

Movies

The Goldfinch (2019)

Whisper of the Heart (1995)

Dead Poets Society (1989)

“Isn’t this the same desk set…” “Yeah, yeah, they gave me the same thing as last year.” “Oh. Maybe they thought you needed another one.” “Maybe they weren’t thinking about anything at all. The funny thing about this is I didn’t even like it the first time.”

I was good. I was really good.

hc : when the dead poets go to pride, Nuwanda is dressed like the bi flag threw up on him, and he waves a genderqueer flag. Neil has simply a white shirt with some rainbow stripes. also, they had to convince Todd to wear a rainbow on his cheek. It’s nuwanda that did his make up, since he became really good at it.

its Mr. Keating that takes them to pride, and they all have the time of their lives.

also, this is in an AU where Keatings adopted Neil.

it’s pride month!

hey guys! so to celebrate pride month I would love to see some dead poets/anderperry headcanons! also, i’d love some movie recs. thanks for following and i love you all

thinking about how guilty charlie must have felt about neil’s death because if he just hadn’t listened to mr keating, if he’d persisted and fought my perry a bit harder, if he’d done something more then maybe neil would never have gone home and maybe neil would still be alive

I- gale... you’re done. you’re done. 

Just realized that there's probably a lot of dps fans here on Tumblr that don't follow Gale Hansen on Twitter and didn't see him tweet this the other day so here you go

no thoughts just shy neil perry 

once again... im sorry but i had to do it 

i wholeheartedly believe that neil’s death ruined todd and that he never would have recovered. he spent the rest of his life with his guard up being haunted by what neil did and was never able to fully trust anyone ever again 

i cant stop making anderperry edits so im sorry 

neil and todd singing to one another ten years after his death

~

neil: 

“I stayed there, dust collected on my pinned up hair. I’m sure that you’ve got a wife out there, kids and Christmas, but I’m unaware cause I’m right where. I cause no harm, mind my business. If our love died young I can’t bare witness.”

todd: 

“And it’s been so long, but if you ever think you got it wrong, I’m right where you left me. You left me no, oh you left me no, you left me no choice but to stay here forever.” 

this is coney island but from neils perspective 

cant stop thinking about this song being todd after neil dies so i had to make an edit 

his hair... my god hes so pretty
