todd steals neil's books all the time and writes little annotations and notes in the margins before sneaking them back

#canon btw cuz todd told me so #neil used to come back to the dorm and quote one of the annotations back to todd each time he found them #dead poets society #dps #dps fandom #dead poets #dead poets headcanons #dps hcs #dps headcanons #neil perry #todd anderson #anderperry #anderperry hcs #anderperry headcanons #todd anderson headcanons #todd anderson hcs #neil perry hcs #neil perry headcanons

one time during soccer todd said something flirty to neil and neil was so shocked and flustered that the soccer ball hit him in the face and they had to take him to the nurses office and todd felt so guilty he almost cried and now every time he wants to say something flirty to neil he remembers neil in the nurse’s office and doesn’t say it meanwhile neil just thinks it was a one time thing

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.

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

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

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.

[desire-mona]

siiiigh. todd autism headcanons because im projecting.

(using they/he/she pronouns for todd in this post. will explain but also if u dont agree i dont care, tw for alcoholism. time period is vague but autism hasnt existed as a legitimate medical diagnosis for all that long, so keep it in mind i guess.)

- cannot for the life of him stand welton's blankets. so itchy, just thin enough to not warm you up enough but still make you sweat, not long enough to cover your entire body. yes im making the blanket line in their poem about actual blankets, a boy needs to vent somewhere.

- beyond terrible temperature regulation, ALWAYS just a little too hot which is made worse by her sensory issues when it comes to wet fabric. constant slight agony and it never really goes away. theyre about 5 minutes away from crying about how uncomfortable they are at all times.

- had god awful handwriting until high school, like his teachers could BARELY read his handwriting it was Bad. OOOOOH OH MY GOD THERES A TRAIN GOING BY I CAN HEAR IT HONKING this is a really ironic thing to be pointing out rn but its sooooo worth mentioning. its still honking this is fun. 🚂. anyway. her parents made her spend an entire summer fixing her handwriting bc that was like the One thing her teachers criticised. its Fine now but their motor function simply doesn't deliver in the handwriting department.

- had a VERY INTENSE special interest in aquatic life + marine biology growing up, like read every book about any ocean animal in any library intense. his parents eventually forced him to abandon it because its "not a good career focus" but he still perks up when anyone mentions fish. once talked neils ear off about the biodiversity of coral reefs for roughly 2 hours, neil took her to an aquarium for their first date. rip todd anderson you wouldve loved spongebob squarepants.

- looooves pets, namely cats, but they have Too Sweaty hands all the time so any animal fur sticks onto their hands and just feels. so awful.

- had a brief period in his 20s where he was definitely an alcoholic, started as a social drinker but got too addicted to the feeling of not having to adhere to social conventions quite as hard, especially around other drunk ppl. eventually went sober after they realised they just Cant Stand the feeling of a hangover anymore. autistic ppl r more likely to develop a dependency on alcohol if we do start drinking. just btw.

- gets a Pretty Expansive vocabulary after actually starting to pursue literature. sometimes his family lightly teases him about using big words but it confuses the hell out of him. its just a word she thought would apply best!!

- soooooo obsessed with what other ppls idea of them is, both in an anxious way and out of genuine curiosity. would never ask ppl what they think of her bc she thinks thats 1) very broad 2) seems compliment fish-y and 3) just gonna lead to "i think ur great/ nice/ whatever filler compliment." but the dream is to sit someone (neil) down and just ask him every single question possible about how he perceives him.

- asks a billion clarifying questions about anything someone asks him to do, gets anxious about how many questions he's asking, tries to just figure it out, freaks out about the possibility of getting it wrong, ends up doing the thing perfectly. weekly occurrence.

- never fully grasped the appeal of religion (most definitely grew up catholic or christian or Something) just bc she could NOT let the lack of proof go. ALSO not an atheist bc the vastness of space scares them out of it. religious beliefs r a weird topic for them.

- suppresses a good chunk of his stims in public bc One total time someone looked at him weird while he was chewing on a sweatshirt string and he was like i gotta stop NOW. eventually develops tics and has to mask THOSE in public too. dear god someone let this girl unmask. also i started ticcing while writing that bc my body does this great thing where i only tic when im reminded of the concept of ticcing. its great and totally doesnt make me think im faking them (faking for who? dunno bc it usually happens when im alone)

- DOES in fact stim around neil bc NEIL STIMS TOO!!!!!!!! joyous day when they found THAT out! gets vocal stims of random lines from whatever play neil is practicing for. YEAA ART THOU THEEEEREE was a vocal stim for a solid week and a half which made neil VERY excited (autistic neil. how i love u autistic anderperry)

- velcro is The most evil vile disgusting material to ever grace this mortal realm. he hates it more than anything ever and i mean that fully. the feeling of BOTH sides, the noise, how easily it comes apart, she hates it all.

this is the gender part

never really viewed gender and gender roles as anything to adhere to beyond the fear of punishment if they dont. finds any social convention relating to gender to be Really dumb and meaningless, bc gender isn't (scientifically) real in any capacity, so why treat it like that? for the longest time just shrugged and said "eh, i guess im a boy" bc thats what she was used to being told, and didn't feel particularly drawn to agree OR disagree. eventually realised on a late night that Wait. i dont Actually care what i am. like yeah im a Male i guess but also im just me. my brain doesnt have a gender and i basically am my brain, right? and then never really thought about it again because that's genuinely how little he cares. adhering the most to canon with that mindset, she never really tells anyone (for obvious reasons on top of the overall apathy) and just lets the he/him happen to her but. in my dream world? agender they/he/she todd anderson. and this is MY blog so those are the pronouns im using from now on. i will forever love talking abt how autistic ppl very often view gender differently than allistic ppl, will forever love talking abt how autistic ppl are more likely to be trans. autism!!!

also yes that entire paragraph is just my view of gender, change the pronouns and the todd mentions and its just me. what of it.

Todd Crochet Headcanons:

He learned when he was younger. It was something that he and his grandmother would do when they spent time together.

His older brother definitely made fun of him for it, but it was all in good fun.

He didn't work on anything while he was at Balincrest. He was too busy and was self-conscious after partaking in a traditionally 'female' craft.

He started back up again when he switched to Welton.

At first, he would only do it when Neil was out of the room, anxious as to what he would think.

He slowly started to work on projects with Neil in the room as the Society was getting started.

Neil was quite enamored with it. He loved to sit and watch Todd as he would crochet.

Todd doesn't really follow patterns. He finds them too limited and stressful. He will just make what he wants.

He likes to buy hand dyed yarn. Neil would hold the yarn between his arms while Todd rolled it into a ball.

Neil liked to recite lines with Todd while doing this.

Sometimes Todd would share a new poem idea with him.

Todd would stay up and work on a project as he waited for Neil to come back from rehearsal and tell him all about what happened.

Occasionally, Neil would return and just rest his head against Todd's shoulder as he crocheted in silence as a way to decompress after a long day.

#dead poets society #neil perry #todd anderson #dps #anderperry #i have been rolling up yarn for a while and thought of them #i am more of a knitting girl than i am a crochet girl #i might make some knitting hc for a different poet at some point

"Todd!" Charlie threw the door open, startling the two people in the room. One of them stood on a chair while the other was half-kneeling on the floor. "What are you doing?"

"Practicing." Neil explained as he got up. "He's Oberon and I'm Puck."

"Uh-huh. Sure." Charlie leaned on the doorframe. "Well, Oberon, get your ass down that chair. We have a game to win."

"Right, the game." Todd repeated in realization. "I forgot."

"I figured." Charlie replied. "I've since learned to accept the fact that I'll always be second to Neil."

"That's not true." Neil smirked at him. "You probably rank even lower than that."

"What are you talking about?" Todd jumped down from the chair, shoving the script onto Neil's hands. "I treat everyone the same way."

Neil and Charlie looked at each other.

"No. No. There's definitely a ranking and Neil's number one." Charlie said. "Everyone can see that."

"Yeah, I'm the favorite." Neil agreed, nodding.

"No, you're not." Todd argued. He looked at Charlie's disbelieving expression and insisted, "He's not!"

"I'm not?"

"No! I don't have a favorite."

"A good moral, my lord: It is not enough to speak, but to speak true." Neil read from the script before showing it to Todd. "See? Shakespeare said lying's bad."

"Shut up. Who's your favorite, then?"

"You."

Todd, who was caught off guard, stood unmoving for a significant amount of time.

"There goes my teammate." Charlie commented by the door before turning around and walking away. "Meeks! Look for another player. We got a man down."

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

[inahallucination]

my favorite todd anderson headcanon is that he’s not actually friendless without the poets - in actuality he gets adopted by random friend groups but he just doesn’t realize that people want to be his friends until the poets

todd: yeah i didn’t have friends before the poets

all the people from his previous schools that tried really hard to befriend him and pull him into their friend groups:

#deadpoets #dead poets society #dead poets headcanons #dead poets #dps #dps fandom #todd anderson #todd anderson headcanons #the poets are just the first group that just get him and make him feel super comfortable #todd anderson hcs

[arachidenitida]

I strongly believe if neil hadn't died the dead poets would spend most of their summer vacation in the Anderson’s house reciting for the large garden theatrically and listening to music under the trees.

yes, in my mind the Anderson have a house with a large garden which looks like a palace, there is so much green and there are many trees
