Todd Anderson loves Amado Nervo’s poetry. He found The Immovable Loved One in a second hand bookshop. He said it was kind of like a miracle because it helped him find some peace when he was still in pain about Neil’s lost. He related to Nervo’s grief and cried with almost every single one of the poems.
The verses spoke to him and, somehow, little by little, the tears washed the pain away. It was like he was dropping the whole sorrow through his eyes.
Nervo saved him, so he also wanted to help and support someone during their healing process, so he wrote every single night until he completed his first poetry collection. He dedicated “to every soul dealing with grief”. And in the acknowledgements he mentioned Nervo, Mr. Keating, every member of the Dead Poets Society and Neil “You changed me, you inspired me with your passion for acting, so I hope you feel proud about me and that you still taking care of me from wherever you are”.

dps headcannons when (some of) the poets are ill
todd
clingy. so motherfucking clingy
"neilllll, come cuddle me :( please"
refuses to leave his bed
still uses drinkable medicine bc he is scared of tablets
very emotional. will cry very easily because he is just overstimulated and tired
takes a day to recover even after the illness passes
asks the poets to bring him all the homework if he misses class because he is scared of falling behind (neil takes the english and pe notes, meeks takes the math and latin notes, cameron takes all else)
neil ends up staying up late with todd to help him finish the homework and explain anything that might have been left out of the notes
neil
suffers from hayfever very badly
tries to hide whenever he feels ill but one of the poets notice and put him back in bed
"im fine guys i promi- *sneeze* i'm not ill *coughs violently*"
often gets ill after taking care of another poet when they were ill (most likely todd)
tries his hardest to go to classes and keating sends his ass back to the dormitory
"mr perry i admire the dedication, but please go to your dorm before you turn my classroom into a walking infection."
charlie
acts like his life is about to end
"mr nolan im DYING. have some sympathy on a poor man."
refuses to go to any class but keating's even if it is the smallest illness ever
"trig? i can't do trig, LOOK AT ME."
cameron still brings him the day's notes and charlie appreicates it even if he doesn't say so
secretly looks over them when cameron has fallen asleep
cameron
absolutely despises getting ill & takes all the measures he can to avoid it
vitamin tablets, boosters, vaccines, the whole shabang
refuses to let it bother him unless he is physically bedbound
he will have the most raging temperature, splitting headace and limp everywhere but god help him if he does not get to 4th period chemistry on time
he prides himself on having a very good attendance
the poets can tell when he is ill most of the time bc his face gets very ashen and his freckles pop a lot more noticeably
thinks he has mastered the art of not appearing sick
cameron, with red eyes and pale cheeks, grimacing as he shuffles up to his friends: "hi guys *wince* how are you? *sniffle*."
the poets all know he is bullshitting but they know he hates getting called out more so they don't make a note of it but they all be a lot more accommodating
charlie eases up on the teasing for the day

one day neil comes in his dorm to find todd asleep - which in itself isnt unusual - not common - todd typically waits until neil’s asleep before going to sleep (like how he waits for all the boys to be done with showering before showering himself - or how he sometimes shows up earlier than them) todds a guy who likes his more vulnerable moments to be away from prying eyes - though now that todd has been warming up to neil sometimes neil will catch him taking naps and todd no longer forces himself to be the last one asleep even if he’s dead tired
neil doesnt quite get it exactly but he does get that todd trusts him now
it makes him feel warm
anyway so the sight of todd fast asleep isnt all that unusual
what is unusual is that todd’s not asleep on his bed - he’s curled up on top of neil’s blankets - on neil’s bed
if neil thinks back to earlier, todd did look a little tired so he probably just stumbled in and fell on the first vahuely comfortable surface he felt
neil knows it and understands it and he /should/ brush it off
but somehow the image of todd on his pillow, his blanket, his bed, sets a burst of warmth throughout his body
something which also isn’t unusual in relation to todd
neil’s felt the warmth of joy when todd finally stopped freaking out when they talked (and started contributing to the conversation willingly !!)
he remembers the warmth on his hand when they shook hands back when they met even now
he felt an intense, almost uncomfortable, warmth - no, heat build up inside him when todd had shed his usual uncomfortable demeanor to instead sport a determined look as they started soccer practice (and every soccer practice since then) and the ridiculously short shorts that neil hadnt really ever dwelled on before didnt help neil one bit
the point was that neil was used to warm feelings with todd
but this one was different
it wasnt flavored in hopeful joy, or interest, or arousal
it was nice and comfortable and oh i want him to share my space - i want to wake up with him - i want him to come to me - to seek out things at remind him of me when he’s tired and other similar overlapping thoughts that had a strong sense of domesticity buried into them
neil wonders what it would be like if todd had willing chosen to come into neil’s space
he hopes he’ll find out one day
(he does)

todd is bad with emotions and acknowledging them and things with neil were actually very rocky at first bc he just… couldn’t cope whenever they had arguments or even little disagreements that he blew out of proportion bc he was worried

- has lots of jeff’s hand-me-down

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.

[anderperry discussing their next performance🤭]

Dps hcs again!!
I have a feeling Todd would forget to add water to noodles in microwave and it just explodes
——
Neil ate rocks when he was a kid
——
Stevens mom would put his hair into pigtails and stuff when he was younger because he refused to cut it and she wanted to embarrass him
——
Gerard has peanuts in his pockets sometimes, he eats them in class when he’s hungry, he hasn’t been caught but the teachers are always like “what’s that sound” and it’s him
——
Richard got chased by a dog, like 5 times. It’s always the same dog
——
Knox is just Knox I ain’t got shit to say about him

A little headcanon me and my friend thought of a while ago because it's so silly and I need to share it
One night Todd and Neil snuck out and they climbed a tree because they wanted to feel like they were on top of the world. They spent the night talking and looking at the stars, loudly whispering and laughing, sharing poetry and deep thoughts. When they finally decide it was time to head back to their room, Neil turns to Todd and says
"is this a bad time to tell you I'm scared of heights?"
He is in fact not scared of heights, he just wanted an excuse to hold Todd's hand.

DPS headcanons
charlie can't bake for shit, like he literally can't even make a box cake. he always screws something up
on the other hand, pitts is an amazing baker. the dude will make a whole damn cake from scratch like it was no big deal
anderperry = adhd and autism duo. you pick who is who
cameron is a history buff. i saw something saying he'd love top gun and i totally agree. that kid is a NERD
todd's a cat person
neil likes both. whatever makes todd happy makes him happy
charlie's a lightweight, unlike todd who (as we know) can down whiskey like nothing
considering DPS is set in 1959, meeks and pitts definitely were marvel and/or dc comics nerds. maybe one liked marvel and one liked dc, and they constantly fought about which was better. or they both like one franchise and trash talked the other
the rooftop radio dance party was totally not meeks and pitts' only dance party. they've had many
all the poets have at least been to charlie's huge house once and done stupid shit in his pool. somebody definitely belly-flopped off the diving board, really regretted it, and now it's an inside joke between all of them (probably be Knox or Pitts, if i'm honest.)
meeks likes plants. he's totally got a few small plants in his and pitts's dorm. totally has a tiny succulent named after some superhero (modern!au he'd so name it something dumb like megatron)
if transformers had come out when the poets were kids, pitts so would've been a transformers kid
charlie totally has converse (specifically red ones) and draws on the rubber parts (this is inspired from a comment on my post where i drew on my vans)
in relation to the last one, he's totally written carpe diem on the shoes. and a lighting bolt
modern!au knox would play fortnight 24/7 and never shut up about it
modern!au todd and neil have a shared farm on stardew valley. and a minecraft house
scratch that, all the poets have a minecraft server they all play on. charlie's house looks like ass while todd and meeks have a library that looks better than most modern architecture
growing up, meeks would sit in the library for hours skimming through the encyclopedias until he found anything that caught his eye. he'd be there form when the library opened to until it closed. the librarian eventually caught on to his schedule and started bringing him little sandwiches and chips and a juice, and always brought him something in the morning, like a granola bar.
maybe that's how pitts and meeks met. pitts was looking for cool like sci-fi novels and saw meeks sitting all by himself with a giant pile of encyclopedias next to him. pitts picked out a cool book and sat by him, the two never saying a word. this continued for a few weeks until one of the two worked up the courage to introduce themself. they became fast friends.
cameron over prepares. always has bandaids on him. mostly because charlie's constantly getting hurt
anyways, i could ramble for days! lmk if you like stuff like this and i can post some more headcanons and stuff

Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed

So I'll keep dancin' with my-

todd has a nice back. not overly muscly but it's there, like that athletic body type.
no one knows this until one day, for some sports, todd is taking off his hoodie, facing away from the poets, when the shirt underneath does that thing and sticks to the hoodie. and exposes his back, which is a nice sight.
it's like freckled in the same specks he has on his nose, and surprisingly, a long scar dragging from his hip and below (he doesn't talk about it until years later when he tells them at like 4am, that jeff "accidentally" pushed him down the stairs when they were like 8 and he landed on a glass vase)
neil is very very flustered for the rest of the day.

ATTENTION EVERYONE PLEASE
CHARLIE WOULD BE THE FUCKING BIGGEST DAVID BOWIE FAN THE WORLD HAVE EVER SEEN, BUT HE WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AS LONG AS YOU DON'T ASK/MENTION HIM. AFTER IT HE WOULD JUST SCREAM THE SONG LYRICS AND HOW HE ADORES THIS MAN

dead poets society but neil’s neighbor’s dog has puppies and neil really wants one but his dad’s a dick so instead he helps his neighbor find homes for the puppies
featuring a love-struck todd begging his brother to convince their parents that they need a dog 
(todd: jeffrey please, for me :(
jeff: todd you’re terrified of dogs though
todd: haha what 
jeff: every time you see one i have to shoo it away ??
todd: okay but the guy giving them away is pretty :(
jeff: todd why not just talk to him then
todd: no)
and todd tells the pretty (and nice !!) guy that he can come over and play with the puppy since he knows that the pretty (and nice !!) guy is already attached to that one and has already named her (ophelia) (sometimes todd calls her cute variations of that but thats no ones business) 
anyway 
the puppy accidentally fixing the anderson household because everyone loves her and start realizing that other people live in the house too
anyway thats not important
what is important it that todd conquers his fear of dogs
and gets a boyfriend

i’m just thinking of future todd writing a poem about their brave friend who is the most fearless person he’s ever met and decided their own name and it becoming a trans anthem
