ok so the only two scenes where we see Neil crying are in the comfort of Keating’s office and (a little bit) right before his death in the room with his father. Keating’s office is evidently the only place Neil felt safe as it’s where he went throughout the film to find comfort. So is it far fetched for me to say that the only places Neil found comfort were with Mr. Keating and in death?

dead poets society theater au headcanons

so for context, i'm a stagehand, i've worked for events as well as in community theater, so this is mostly based off of that. doing my part to add dps to the dps tag, and this was what i could come up with

ok they're all involved in a small community theater production of the tempest over the summer

neil is an actor, he's playing ariel, this is one of the first roles he's landed. he'd done theater in school as puck, which didn't go so well, but it's been a while since then. he's graduated college recently after studying medicine and is finally somehow at a point where his father has less control over him. despite this, he's somewhat unsure what he wants to do now, if he wants to continue with medicine cause it's what he knows, or try to make it in theater.

todd is the assistant stage manager, he was really unsure about taking the job, but the stage manager, cameron, who he was pretty good friends with, and who he'd worked on a crew with before, specifically wanted him. despite this, he's worried that he's too anxious and not assertive enough to do it

cameron is the stage manager, and a bit of a hardass, which means the crew loves him and a decent chunk of the actors hate him. he's good at his job, he's very organized and really good at getting shit done and people together, but he'll also chew you out if you fuck up

meeks and pitts are lights and sound respectively, they've worked on a ton of shows together before and are pretty close. every show they work together, they bring a bag of snacks with them for the crew to eat during performances

charlie is the prop master, and a stagehand. he has a knack for finding weirdly useful shit in random places, and is brilliant at constructing props. despite this cameron is constantly having to bug him to get his stuff finished on time. he and cameron have a sort of love/hate relationship, they clash really bad at times but they both understand that the show would not be as good if either of them weren't there

keating is the director! he works really well with newer actors, i'd imagine he's pretty similar to peter weir in a lot of ways. he can take a little too long to reach deadlines, as getting the show perfect is a lot more important to him, which annoys cameron a bit

knox is also an actor, he's playing ferdinand and is convinced that he and chris, who plays miranda, are destined to be together or something. chris doesn't see him like that though

chris is miranda, she was originally interested in the tech/design aspect of theater, but a while back they needed more actors, and she ended up volunteering. she started as crew when ginny first started acting, because ginny was nervous to do it alone

ginny is iris, she has more free time this show since her role is smaller, but is always at rehearsal whenever chris is there, so she ends up sitting around and watching a lot. she quickly becomes friends with neil, who is similarly always around todd

anytime he's not busy, neil is hanging around todd. he's started doing parts of todds job for him, getting batteries, taping doors, sweeping the stage, doing other miscellaneous errands. he spends so much time with todd that he somehow ends up as crew in the program in addition to ariel. he starts getting to the theater early when the crew shows up just to spend more time with todd. cameron has started treating him as an extra stagehand

#this was originally just anderperry then i realized cameron would be a GREAT stage manager and now here it is #i've never done headcanons like this before sorry if it's a bit choppy #dead poets society #dps #neil perry #todd anderson #richard cameron #stephen meeks #steven meeks #gerard pitts #charlie dalton #john keating #knox overstreet #chris noel #ginny danburry

What type of dessert food would the poets be?

I return with a list to please the mases. This is inspired by the copious amounts of ice cream I've consumed this week.

Neil: Jello mold with fruit in it.

Todd: Plain cheesecake. If he's feeling crazy he eats it with a single raspberry.

Charlie: Pot brownie.

Knox: Overly sugary cake served at children's birthday parties.

Meeks: Tiramisu. It's sophisticated like him.

Pitts: His is what I like to call ice cream nightmare. It's usually served at a soft serve ice cream place and it's named something like "triple fudge brownie chocolate batter sugar marshmallow supreme."

Cameron: Key lime pie.

✨Bonus.✨.

Chris: Creme brulee.

Ginny: Lava cake.

The poets favourite food (I'm bored :] )

Neil - Soup! Any soup! He mainly has Tomato soup because it is the best soup and is the only soup Todd likes.

Todd - Bread. With butter, if he's feeling fancy.

Cameron - I've said this before, pasta. Any pasta is fine with him but he loves Penne with parmesan and tomato sauce

Pitts - Grapes. Crunchy grapes. Just. Crunch

Meeks - this man LOVES chicken. Idk what to tell you, he just really likes it.

Charlie - pretzels

Knox - chocolate or smth idk

Dead Poets Society sibling head canons:

Pitts gives the vibe of guy with a bunch of sisters. I think he’s got two older ones and two younger ones. He just gives big family and middle child vibes.

I think Meeks is an only child and is slightly envious of Pitts big family.

I feel like Todd and Jeffery are the only kids the Andersons have

I think Charlie either has an older brother or older sister but the age gap between them is fairly large. I also think that sibling isn’t super close with the family anymore because of their parents. I also think maybe Charlie looked up to them until they left and their leaving hurt Charlie.

If Neil doesn’t die he would remain an only child and if he did then his parents wouldn’t have another one after.

Cameron was an only child for a long time but his parents recently had a baby girl. At first Cameron would be a little awkward interacting with the baby but takes his job as older brother really seriously.

Keating definitely had an older brother.

Knox feels like an only child or he has a younger brother who gets on his nerves a lot.

DPS: “Tortured Lovers”

I saw someone the other day say that Todd and Knox are both tortured lovers and I found that super interesting. I don’t think it’s a reach at all, I think they both represent the spectrum of love and heartbreak with their own respective relationships.

I think Knox and Todd both start out quite similarly in that they are both in love with someone they can’t have. Knox was in love with Chris who had a boyfriend and no real interest in him. Todd was in love with Neil which was doomed to fail one way or another.

They were both tortured for the exact same reason, they couldn’t be with the person they loved but I think they also represent the different kinds of tortured lovers if that even makes sense. They both start the film enamoured and eventually form relationships (one cannon, one heavily implied) and they behave similarly. Todd and Knox are mutually tortured lovers, both resorting to pining and hoping. But their biggest split is during the play.

The play, obviously, changes the entire film. Knox gets the girl, whilst Todd still watches and ultimately, Neil kills himself. Both of their relationships end so differently but they’re still tied together by the title of “tortured lovers”. Todd has to live without Neil, but Knox has to be with Chris quietly.

I just want to take a moment to kind of highlight Knox secretly being with Chris because even though it’s only a short clip of them together, it reminds me vaguely of Neil and Todd - the prospect of hiding away behind a crowd with the person you love so you don’t face negativity.

In a way, Knox and Todd remain as tortured lovers throughout the entire film but with entirely different endings to their stories. I think that just goes to show how succinct the film is in capturing all angles of love under one umbrella.

one of the best parts of dead poets society is that the poets aren’t even the cool kids at WELTON imagine how unpopular they’d be at public school

Forever thinking about the scene in Dead Poets Society where Meeks and Pitts are on the roof and they’re dancing together except Pitts has headphones on and Meeks doesn’t- Meeks is just dancing with him happily even with no music and they’re just perfect
