Dead Poets Society and what their favorite 80s movies would be pt. 2

including my reasons for why :))

Neil Perry / Weekend at Bernie’s

I strongly believe that Neil would watch this movie and picture it as him and Charlie and never stop laughing.

Todd Anderson / E.T.

I know what you’re saying, another movie about a random creature but they are all just so Todd coded. He could relate to being in an unknown place too.

Charlie Dalton / Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

A movie about a guy who’s popular and kind of skipping class. Sign Charlie the fuck up

Knox Overstreet / Say Anything

Knox too would stand out of a girls window with a boombox above his head playing her favorite song

Richard Cameron / Heathers

He would pretend to hate Heather Chandler but she’d actually be his favorite character

Steven Meeks / Little Shop of Horrors

you cannot convince me that Meeks doesn’t love musicals. on top of the fact it’s about plants that come to life, he’s overjoyed

Gerard Pitts / Revenge of The Nerds

a movie about nerdy guys who are sarcastic and and do what they want, he’s all about it

If Neil hadn’t died and become a theater actor Todd would have been his writer.

they would create theatrical performances together and the dead poets would always be in the front row to support them.

Dating Neil Perry ♡

You met him when the two of you were in a play together, he was a bit shy at first but once you got to know him he really warmed up to you.

Practice lines together when he's gonna be in the play.

So many dates. Cafe dates, fairground dates or picnic dates mostly, but anything you wanna do, Neil is up for it.

He brings you to the Dead Poets meetings so you can watch and read (only if you'd like to tho).

You'd end up being good friends with the poets, especially Charlie and Todd.

Hand holding is a must, he loves it.

He isn't overly into PDA, but in private he's all over you.

Compliments. And cute nicknames. Constantly.

Very romantic.

He rambles to Todd about you all the time. He did this before you started dating as well, so much so that Todd was pleading for him to just ask you out already.

[chasedbyunclewalt]

A whole bunch of random extremely specific headcanons I have been thinking about forever for dating all the different dead poets~~~

Charlie

Hear me out

He’s the ‘tough’ one of the group

This is terrible but I think the dead poets made him tell Todd about Neil because no one else could bring themselves to. (I wanna write a fic about this so bad)

Charlie aggressively cares for all his friends

He needs someone to aggressively care for him

So when you guys are alone it takes time for him to lose his tough guy facade

But when he does he’s kind of a baby

Clinging to you

Wanting attention

Having someone to care for him is so foreign but he loves it and tries to care for you the same way.

You guys when you aren’t being all lovey and adorable are like partners.

Making joint decisions, just working well together overall

He likes to high five you and then kiss you

Like high five, grabs hand, pulls you into a kiss

Todd

His parents literally never keep an eye on what he does over the summer

So he’s always over at your house or you’re at his

His house is gianttttt and has a pool

Not that he cares that much

But it’s impressive to say the least

Jefferey is the only one of his family who actually knows you’re dating

Like I said his parents don’t care like at all

But Jef is actually super nice and supportive

Todd gets lonely very easily

So if you’re not together he tries to call you

If you don’t pick up he writes about you

He gets the best gifts

Not because of money or anything but because he’s so thoughtful

Everything thing he gives you has an entire train of thought behind it

Modern day AU almost every time you text him he screenshots it and sends it to Neil asking how to answer

1950’s universe he’s one of the few families with multiple television sets and lets you watch whatever you want.

He likes sleepovers

And his favorite way to cuddle is him sitting up on the bed with you laying on his stomach wrapped around him.

Touch starved.

Meeks

Gets sooooo annoyed when his glasses are dirty

He absolutely hates it

You buy him portable lense cleaner

He loves you period

Like everyone can tell this boy is in love

His love language is acts of service

So he’s always offering to help you with homework

He literally did your laundry once

He’s so down bad anything you do makes his jaw drop

On the floor

Stunned

You guys create your own secret language

He speaks it faster than you and usually say’s disgustingly sweet things

Great with kids

Great with parents

Plant dad. He loves those big vine things idk what they’re called but they wrap around the room

#this is my first time writing for the dead poets 😭 #open to feedback #I’ll probably write some soon for the others eek #please I’ve been thinking on theses forever #dead poets society boyfriend scenarios #dead poets society headcanons #todd anderson x reader #Todd Anderson #charlie dalton x reader #charlie dalton #steven meeks #steven meeks x reader #dps #dps one shots #dps fandom

[lazydogz]

there is nothing I love more than the idea that all the poets knew Neil and Todd were in love but were never really sure if any of the other poets knew because they all kept quiet as to not out them

Meeks, always such an insomniac, hoping a late night walk will get him to feel at least a bit tired and noticing their door is accidentally left open. with a worried curiosity he peeks in to see them curled up in the same bed fast asleep. he carefully closes the door for them and when Pitts asks why he’s up he just says he was getting water

Pitts on the school’s roof with the radio him and Meeks have been working on. Not many others are outside but he spots Todd and Neil outside and they’re very close to each other, faces nearly inches apart. all he does is gather up the radio and leave, telling Meeks they’d get a better reception in the library

Knox knows that the poems Todd writes are for Neil, he found the love poems on accident while looking for the chemistry papers Todd promised him. now he feels an overwhelming urge to hide the notebook Todd writes them in whenever it’s left out in the open and often tells Charlie off if he tries to go rooting through it, strangely more defensive than what Charlie is used to

before Keating’s advice, Charlie did know to tread carefully when it’s needed. when the conversations in the cave turn to be about love and girls he carefully steers it away from the two boys huddled in the corner, more than willing to direct it towards himself and make up obviously false stories just to keep the attention away from them

even Cameron knows better. he loves studying in the quiet library but is quick to pack his things up when he can see just beyond the bookcases Neil and Todd sharing a gentle moment, sparing them the privacy. when Charlie gives him an obnoxious interrogation about why he’s studying in their room if he’s going to complain about the noise, he keeps his lips firmly sealed

[inahallucination]

dead poets society but neil talks about his cute, adorable, babyboy bf a lot and he’s always gushing at how he’s a total softy and shit and the poets meet todd and realize that he’s kinda feral 

neil: omg todd’s a total cutie pie

todd: *actually insane*

thinking about charlie, who will call you every single pet name known to the english language, and use them so much that sometimes you wonder whether he remembers your real name. thinking about charlie, who always insists on having his arm around you when the two of you are in public, no matter if it’s around your shoulders or your waist. thinking about charlie, who will absolutely cover your face with kisses when you’re upset until you laugh from how much it tickles, and have the most smug smile on his face when he’s accomplished it. thinking about charlie, who will attempt to write a saxophone melody just for you, and even if it doesn’t turn out quite like he wanted will feel like the sun has started shining in his chest when you smile at him after he plays it for you. thinking about charlie, who as much as he craves validation, eventually comes to find that yours is the only laugh he really cares about hearing after he’s told a joke.

thinking about charlie, who is always so jovial and takes so little in this life seriously, but who is deadly serious about his love for you; as much as he tries to bring light and levity into other people’s lives, you are the light in his life, and he will be damned if he doesn’t love you with the same determination he gives to telling jokes and causing mischief - strong, steadfast, with all the warmth and power of the sun he cannot help but remind people of, and that he insists he sees every time he sees you smile.

Domestic Anderperry headcanons

As requested by @aj-scott725 - thanks AJ! :] These are all kind of nebulously post-canon.

- When Todd gets into a new poem/body of work, he doesn't tend to gush about it; instead he gets into a dreamy state for a few days and leaves books lying around with pen scribbles all over the pages. Neil gets into the habit of collecting them so he doesn't lose track of them, putting them on their bedside table, and making a note of them so he can read them too

- Neil gets it into his head to learn how to swing dance one summer, and they spend a couple of weeks twirling each other around the living room. It doesn't go awfully well (Todd has two left feet and almost cracks his head open by falling over the sofa), but they're not half bad at it either. Sometimes their downstairs neighbour Mrs. Springer will play Rachmaninoff on the piano and they'll leave the windows open so the music gets in and dance around and around the room

- Todd falls asleep in a couple of minutes every time he gets on any type of transportation without fail. The first time it happens in a taxi they're still young and afraid and when the driver glances for half a second too long at them in the rearview mirror, at Todd's head on Neil's shoulder and the way Neil curves around him unconsciously, Neil stiffens and glares. But by the time the taxi arrives he and the driver have spent ten minutes talking quietly about their boyfriends to each other (the driver is "practically engaged, can you believe it" to a journalist named Martin in Syracuse, and he reminds him "just of your guy, they're exactly like each other, the wheels start going and they're out like lights"). They shake hands as he gently ushers a half-awake Todd out of the taxi and he never sees that driver again, but the memory remains a small golden jewel in Neil's mind

- Neil is unequivocally on washing up duty, because Todd can't stand feeling wet food in the sink. To make up for it he cleans the bathroom, although this also because it helps him think - not uncommon for Neil to come home from rehearsal to find him with their giant flowery cleaning gloves on scrubbing at the toilet bowl, dictating poems to a voice recorder. He proposes Todd dedicate his first poetry collection "to my darling husband and the porcelain god" and gets kicked out of the bedroom for a night for his troubles

- The apartment's heating is kind of shitty (read: the landlord refuses to fix it) so they sleep with three blankets all piled up on top of each other. Neil, who runs cold, isn't too concerned about the whole thing. Todd pretends to complain about it but secretly he loves the comforting pressure (God, have weighted blankets been invented yet? Can we get him one?) and sleeps with the blankets pulled to his chin and his face pressed into the crook of Neil's neck for maximum coverage. This also works in the mornings because he doesn't like the sun's glare, so Neil will often sleepily put a hand over his eyes before he wakes up so it doesn't bother him

#so so incalculably fond writing this #dead poets society #anderperry #dps #dead poets society headcanons #todd anderson #neil perry

[toindeedbeapoet]

to those of you that headcanon todd as autistic (he is btw he called me specifically to tell me) i offer you this idea:

all of the poets are autistic and/or have adhd

neil and charlie in welton were like twins. People saw them snooping around the rooms, giggling and with their mischievous grins plastered on the face.

they're SO annoying, people get mad all the time, but not for too long 'cause at the end of the day they're charismatic and friendly :)

If Dead Poets Society was set in the 80s, Charlie would probably be the biggest Footloose fan known to man. He'd drag all the poets to see the movie every weekend when it was screening and would've learned to choreography to Never. All the poets probably knew how to dance except Todd and Cameron but Cameron refused every time Charlie offered (well, not really offered, he just went into it) to teach him. Todd on the other hand, was taught by Neil and they started off with just a basic slow dance. Todd's eyes would be glued to his feet, making sure he didn't step on Neil's toes while Neil was only focusing on Todd. I imagine Neil making them practice in their dorm and when the song ends, Todd goes to pull away but Neil holds on a little tighter and says "let's just stay like this a little longer. Please?"

Dating Charlie Dalton ♡

You two grew up together, totally inseparable. It came as no surprise when you started dating.

This boy is a flirt, 100%. He loves making you blush all the time.

He's into PDA, comfortable with kissing and holding you to make it known that your his partner.

Though, he is a lot more intimate when you're alone.

Little spoon 1000%. Loves being held.

Dates are usually to a restaurant or to his room for cuddling.

He brings you along to the cave all the time, whether you're with the others or just alone.

Would probably kill for you. As he should.

Also, you'd end up being best friends with Meeks and Knox.
