Hii, saw your post about dps fics being really poetically written, do you have any favourites or recommendations? Have a good day!! :D

Hi thank you for the ask!! Oh goodness my favorite dps fics…I will include in general fics that I liked, but the ones that I have placed an asterisk with are pieces that had me–for lack of a better phrase–crying, screaming, shitting on the floor from how poetic they made me feel. Which really doesn't make much sense, but when i say poetry within me i just mean this strange feeling that is difficult to describe. Also these are all anderperry because i am a basic bitch, so apologies if you were looking for any other pairs! Maybe after finals I will look into some of the other pairs and put together a list for them too :) also I tried formatting this the best I could, I typed it all out on google docs so apologies for any fuck ups.

(in no particular order)

What We Stay Alive For **** by PiscesVanity on ao3, 18/18 chaps, 66,485 words.

Summary: “Do we get second chances in this life, Todd?” Neil asks him like he expects a negative answer. Todd doesn’t give that to him.

“Yes. we do. I know it.”

“Do you?” Neil grins, playfully elbowing him. “Did you at least wait to take it? That second chance? Until the world was more peaceful? More kind?”

Ten years after the death of Neil Perry, Todd Anderson wakes up with a second chance.

My notes: This incredibly crafted piece of art was the first dead poets fic I ever read. It honestly set the bar for me, for future reads. Also i didn’t have the chance to reread this one because this baby is long as FUCK and as much as I love long fics to read, I have to study for finals today so I can’t right now. I’m like 80% sure this is the fic where they confess by the lake and say something along the lines of “if you feel something even similar to what i feel…” but again i can’t be sure. Either way all I remember is that this fic is fricken good. Just for context, this is a time-traveling fic, but the type of time travel that happens in 13-going-on-30. Todd prays for a second chance on the eve of the 10 year anniversary of Neil’s death and he wakes up in his 17 year old body, on the day that he started school at Hell-ton. I think in general I just love the dead poets fandom because it combines some of my favorite tropes in any form of reading–50s/60s time period, boarding schools, and well…being gay. It is a fix-it so there is some angst, but there is a happy ending. But it will hit hard, especially since it comes close in the end so be wary. When I first started it, I was concerned about my own interest dwindling because the fic was going to cover the entirety of the movie, and since I have issues rereading or rewatching pieces of media when I know the end or the majority of it, I didn’t know if I was going to last. But the author of this stunning work (I know it sounds cheesy BUT IT IS) crafted it in a way that didn’t leave me bored. Even though several lines were pulled from the movie due to it being a time travel fic I still felt involved and captured by the story. It was comforting at the beginning to see how Charlie and Todd took care of each other after Neil’s death, and it was also intriguing to see how Todd almost started where he left off with Neil when he went back in time. He was more open than he had been prior, but eventually had settled back into his ‘old’ personality that he had before his first encounters with the poets.

to be alone with you by wordshakers on ao3, 1/1 chaps, 3,602 words.

Summary: “Thursday evenings were, unequivocally, Neil’s favorite part of the week.

On the surface, the explanation for this was simple enough. It was his opportunity to turn his focus entirely to the topic that made him happiest: Shakespeare. He savored the time he was able to spend sitting out on the dock, overlooking the lake, reading and reciting the words he loved so much.

The other reason–perhaps the more prominent one–Neil wasn’t able to explain quite as easily. In fact, he could hardly admit it to himself. Thursday evenings…they meant being alone with Todd.

An anderperry first kiss fic, set in a near-canon universe of the film (minus the death). Fluffy mutual pining.

My notes: I can’t recall everything about this one because my mind has been scrambled the last few days, but it is fluffy, it is cute, and it has Todd and Neil practicing lines together–what more could you want?

letters to my dearest beloved ****by UniversalSatan on ao3, 4/4 chaps, 34,162 words.

Summary:

“My dearest beloved,

It is with great relief that I finally write to you. I think it doubtful for my words to ever reach your ears, but spare me this chance to lend you a piece of my thoughts–and only a piece, for I must write with caution lest I be discovered.

Neil, amidst his own internal emotional conflict, accidentally stumbles upon letters Todd had been writing in secret to an unknown recipient. Neil (an idiot) continues to intrude on Todd’s privacy by reading each new letter in secret, continuously agitating over their purpose.”

My notes: I’m not 100% sure how well this fic is known because as I stated in the post you mentioned I am extremely new to this fandom, I think I only watched the movie the Saturday before last. Let me tell you, my heart was beating all over the place during this. I cannot believe the audacity of Neil! I don’t want to spoil it because it’s literally a masterpiece, like this should be published and printed and given awards to–the letters and the imagery in them were so *shakes author like a squeaky toy* I LOVE YOUUUU RAHHHHH. Anything i have to say just will not convey how fucking amazing this fic is. Please go read it if you haven’t. And also Neil is an oblivious little man in this fic, the best type of Neil.

A Midnight Summer’s Dream: A Story of Hope (chapter 2 specifically) by cc tinselbee (thearchivistonmars)

Summary: (my words) an almost main au that will tear your fucking soul from your body. Beautiful, amazing, life altering, makes me cry in the best way. The bittersweetness of it all is POTENT. It is an Almost Maine au (I am scared to look into almost maine now from how heartbreaking this fic was. I have only read the SECOND chapter, I’m sure the first chapter is magnificent but as of now I am in the midst of finals so I will check it out when I am done.)

My notes: Someone printed out this fic, tied it to a brick, and threw it into the window of my heart, shattering my soul into pieces. How could you do this to be, author? This piece has me able to physically feel my brain putting up barriers to stop thinking about the ending that is implied. Nope, nope, nope. If you are one for incurable angst, please go ahead and enjoy. It’s a wonderful story and it evoked emotions in me that I couldn’t even stand. The author is very talented for this and I’m manifesting that alternative/possible happy ending they mentioned in their notes/comments. I haven’t read the first chapter, so this is specifically about the second one because up until a few moments ago I didn’t realize that there was a first chapter–I clicked on the link to the fic from the author’s tumblr and was sleep deprived and thought it was the beginning of the fic 🙂

Gentle Lover, Remedy ****by violet_sunset on ao3. 1/1 chap, 13,135 words.

Summary: “Todd’s first semester at Welton marks the moment he stops going to church. There are regular Masses offered in the chapel, but whenever Todd thinks about going he’s overwhelmed by nausea and has to hover in the bathrooms until he is sure he won’t vomit. When he was a kid and he thought God was just a pair of arms open in embrace, he would have jumped at the chance to attend, to sing from the hymnal and listen to homily and absorb the sacrament of blood and body. Now, God seems like a distant thing.”

My notes: HOLY FUCK, RELIGIOUS GUILT MY BELOVED. That’s one of my favorite tags to see in a work, and it isn’t often that I have seen it in some of the pairings that I like. Of course, with religious guilt comes internalized homophobia and period typical attitudes–the fic actually made use of words used in that time period that were used to refer to queer folk, so if any of those trigger you please be wary as well. I love, love, LOVE the usage of religious metaphors and words that are littered all around in this piece as well as the descriptions that show Todd’s pathway of his beliefs. As we know Todd has a deeply ingrained inferiority complex and WOW does it shine in this fic. It made me cry feeling the second-hand guilt that Todd feels. Also, the author tackled the controversy of appropriation in the film–meaning Charlie’s preference of the name Nuwanda–and expanded on his ethnic background which was really nice to read. They also touched upon Charlie’s relation to gender and (semi-canonical?) non-binaryness (it's a word because I say so) in a beautiful and delicate way that is very rare in most works that I have seen. In general there are very few fics that I have read that have included Charlie as being anything other than cisgender, so it was wonderful to see it included in this work. As well as this, Todd having a panic attack/sensory overload when a certain ginger starts being homophobic was incredibly well written and it felt like it captured those feelings that you have during an overwhelmingly stressful moment, though that is an understatement. Todd’s inability to realize just what the fuck is going on and being sort of spacey during it all–been there and done that baby. This author is so fucking talented, and this is probably my favorite dps fic of all time. I dont have the words to effectively describe how amazing it is, so if you are able to, I highly suggest reading it to experience it for yourself :)

It’s Rotten Work by cc tinslebee (the archivistonmars) on ao3, 1/1 chap, 2,774 words.

Summary:

“I was hoping…” Neil peered back up at him with those fervent eyes before he broke his inconspicuous character and cracked a smile, “my favorite scene partner would help me test it out?”

In the midst of Todd’s continual crisis of what exactly Neil’s ‘no’ means, Neil asks him to read from a scene from Orestes. You know, for practice.

My notes: Short and utterly sweet. I love reading pieces that just show how much characters love each other whether it’s platonic, romantic, or somewhere in between. I’ve always been one for a slowburn, and it wasn’t until I realized that I was aromantic that the reason I love that trope is because in between the first ‘hello’ and the inevitable kiss, that love that I read about was similar to how I felt. Just a simple fondness that the characters had for each other that made them feel alive and safe etc. I could go on forever about that, but what I mean to say is that this fic captured that feeling of affection in a fleeting moment between Neil and Todd, and I think it’s lovely.

The Pepper Ghost Effect by Anonymous on ao3, 6/6 chaps, 19,472 words.

Summary:

“1964. Todd Anderson, now a successful playwright, whisks away an old flame from a horrifying mental asylum. That old flame, Neil Perry, becomes Todd’s new muse.”

Notes: Beware of the tags. It is a very angst ridden fic that addressed Neil’s mental health and the possibilities of what could have happened if he survived his first attempt on his life. Key word, first attempt. There is period-typical homophobia, past abusive partners, and ableism and abuse stemming from the sanitarium that [spoiler] is placed in for some time. There is a happy ending, so it’s not just angst and I feel that this fic is severely underrated. There are like only 24 kudos on it right now and 4 comments which?? What?? It’s an absolute masterpiece, and effectively captures the feeling and emotion of hopelessness and depression of a situation. Neil’s emotional response and numbness to everything around him resonated with me and I felt like it described my own brush with darkness from the lower points in my life. Read at your own risk and don’t push yourself if any of the tags may be triggering, but if you are able to this is a wonderful read that will elicit all sorts of feelings in your heart.

In the Subjunctive by ghostlin on ao3, 1/1 chaps, 5682 words.

Summary:

“The night the play opens, Neil turns left.”

My notes: This is a sort of fix-it fic with Neil coming back to the dorms after his fight with his father. It leaves off sort of ambiguous–and I do adore a good ambiguous ending–leaving the reader to imagine a happy ending. I consider it a happy ending because Neil is alive, but he is less than well mentally as of what he has endured. It also centered some on Charlie and Neil in the aftermath of it all which I enjoyed because I feel that sometimes fics forget that they are all friends. Todd wasn’t the only one mourning Neil–they all were. Also I liked the way the author captured the surprise of Charlie’s acceptance of Neil’s sexuality amongst the blunt hatred of the time. Often I feel like some fics don’t try to keep the edge of fear or vulnerability that that time period called for–which is totally fine! You do you, boo. I just have a preference for it because I feel that it almost adds to an ambiguous read of a situation. I also liked how the author wrote about Todd’s perception of Charlie and how he perceives him–whether or not Todd is supposed to be unreliable (I think it’s made somewhat clear that Charlie likes Todd–he wouldn't be encouraging Neil to spill his feelings if he didn’t) in his narration.

Also as a side note i love your pfp ive been needing to read the picture of dorian gray but ive been so busy 🙁 and you have a good day too !!❤️

BUT. i do like it so far. the concept is slightly similar to the good place which i LOVE and i heard it has queer rep and i am always a SUCKER for that, also i actually have ZERO spoilers for it which is very new!

i’m getting into dead poets society, too. might rewatch soon. mostly bc of anderperry. <3

still have yet to start stardew valley, mostly bc of school….i hope i can start it soon

also been reading a lot of jackieshauna lately. i don’t even watch yellowjackets; i can NOT, all the gore and, you know, cannibalism makes me very squeamish. i just finished the first ep, read the summaries of all the episodes on wikipedia, and fed myself a shit ton of edits. i just — i need a sapphic ship to ship, guys. and they’re fucking adorable. but i’m also not calling myself a yellowjackets fan because i can’t actually watch the show; allie’s leg wound alone fuckin’ scarred me.

FICS OF THE WEEK!!! / my fav fics i bookmarked on ao3 in the last few days :}

Wordshake

In my last post I told about this game, where you have to come as many words as you can in three minutes.

I absolutely love this game! I feel I start memorizing words better every time when I play it. And it is so entertaining. I'm quite competitive so this game is perfect for me. And I really think it helps my brain to flip my mind in English easier than before.

Here's the link for the game :)

I was tagged by @krexhatespushups-blog for Fanfic Sunday!! (I did not see this until today so it is now Fanfic Monday whoops) ((Thanks for the tag, Kelly! <3))

Rules: Share a fic you wrote (or fan art or gifs) that you are proud of! Moodboard Optional.

I love all my children so it was super hard to pick just one, but I think the fic I am going to share is my DCRB 2023 fic. The reason I chose this one in particular is because I struggled with it for a long time until finally it came together and ended up being one of my favorites I've ever written. It also was out of my comfort zone a bit, not something I usually write, but I love how it turned out. Based on art by @ destiel-love-forever, my fic for Fanfic Sunday/Monday is

cause when i'm not with you, i'm weaker (is that so wrong?) - deathbysandblk - Supernatural (TV 2005) [Archive of Our Own]

Let's lift other authors up and post a fic you are super proud of, ignoring the views, bookmarks, and kudos. Post one YOU love.

I tag: @wordshakers @officiallyadumpster and anyone else who wants to do this! <3

10 ИГР НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ ДЛЯ ДЕТЕЙ: ПОДБОРКА ЛУЧШИХ С ОПИСАНИЕМ

Иногда бывает сложно мотивировать детей на изучение английского языка. Одним из решений этой проблемы станет игры. Таким образом вы не только сделаете обучение более интересным, интерактивным и запоминающимся, но и поможете ребенку проверить свои знания и улучшить языковые навыки. Кстати, игра на английском — основной метод обучения на курсах английского для детей в школе EnglishPapa.

Преимущества использования игр в изучении детьми английского

Игры для детей на английском позволяют решить сразу несколько задач.

1. Благодаря развлекательному элементу игры помогают легко вовлечь ребенка. И познавательный процесс идет незаметно, не напрягая ребенка. 2. Используя слова или грамматические структуры на практике, дети легче и быстрее их запоминают. 3. Игра не предполагает оценок, а значит, дети могут расслабиться и говорить, писать или читать свободнее, не боясь сделать ошибки. 4. С помощью игр можно тренировать все языковые навыки — говорение, письмо, чтение, аудирование, учить лексику и грамматику. 5. И наконец, игры — это просто весело и интересно, а еще это очередная возможность провести время с ребенком.

Подборка игр на английском для детей

Предлагаем вам подборку игр для тренировки навыков английского языка у детей 10–12 лет.

Чего не хватает / What’s Missing Тренируем лексику и произношение.

Вам понадобятся карточки со словами или изображения, сопровождающиеся подписью. В игре используются слова, которые ребенок недавно выучил. Разложите карточки на столе, дайте ребенку минуту, чтобы их запомнить. Затем он отворачивается, а вы убираете одно из слов. После этого ребенок снова смотрит на карточки и должен назвать слово, которого не хватает. Дополнительно эта игра тренирует память.

Виселица / Hangman Тренируем лексику и правописание.

Загадайте слово на английском и начертите столько квадратиков или горизонтальных линий, сколько в слове букв. Ребенок должен отгадать слово, называя буквы. За каждый неправильный ответ рисуется часть виселицы. Можно придумать другой объект вместо виселицы: ракету для запуска в космос, динозавра, приближающегося к человеку. Если вы знаете английский, ведущим может стать и ребенком, загадывая слова уже вам.

Яблоко к яблоку / Apples to Apples Тренируем лексику.

В этой игре обычно задействованы два типа карточек: красные и зеленые. На красных пишутся существительные, например, люди, места и вещи. На зеленых — прилагательные для описания этих существительных. Выдайте ребенку 5 карточек красного цвета (количество карточек можно брать любое), а себе возьмите зеленые. Показывайте ребенку одну зеленую карточку с прилагательным, а он должен подобрать существительное из своих красных карточек, которое максимально подходит к прилагательному.

Грамматические гориллы / The Grammar Gorillas Тренируем грамматику и чтение.

Это онлайн-игра для отработки грамматических навыков. Задания простые — необходимо найти указанную часть речи в предложении. Есть возможность выбора уровня: на уровне Beginner вам нужно распознать только существительное или глагол, на уровне Advanced — все части речи. За каждый правильный ответ горилла получает банан.

Составь слова / Wordshake Тренируем лексику.

Это снова онлайн-игра, которая поможет детям вспомнить изученную лексику и проявить сообразительность. Игроку выдается 16 случайных букв алфавита и три минуты. За это время он должен придумать как можно больше английских слов, используя буквы, которые у него есть. За каждое слово игрок получает баллы. Чем длиннее слово, тем больше очков.Учиться английскому языку с удовольствием легко!

Составь предложения / Sentence Monkey Тренируем грамматику, лексику.

Это онлайн-игра, вернее название для одного типа игр. Вы можете встретить их под разными названиями: Monkey Fun Game, Magic Monkey. Задания в игре направлены на отработку выученной лексики или закрепление грамматических правил. Например, нужно верно вставить слово в пропуск в Present Simple.

Внимание! Следующие варианты подойдут для игр с детьми, если кто-то из родителей хотя бы немного владеет английским.

Дженга / Jenga Тренируем грамматику, лексику.

Наверняка вы знаете такую игру, но мы предлагаем вам ее немного модифицировать специально для тренировки английского. Можно использовать разные варианты. Например, закрепить правила образования множественного числа существительных. Напишите на каждом блоке по одному слову, и вытаскивая блок, игроки должны образовать множественное число от этого слова. Так можно отрабатывать любые правила и лексику.

Бинго / Bingo Тренируем лексику, восприятие на слух, чтение.

Приготовьте квадратные карточки, на которых расположите картинки так, чтобы по горизонтали и вертикали получилось одинаковое количество. Сделайте карточки, на которых напишите названия предметов, изображенных на предыдущих карточках. Вытягивайте карточки с названиями и читайте их, тот, у кого есть такой предмет на картинке, закрывает его. Определять победителя можно по закрытому полностью полю, по заполненному одному ряду (по вертикали, горизонтали или диагонали). Проигравший становится ведущим.

Морской бой / Battleship Тренируем лексику.

Используйте стандартное поле 10 х 10 с цифрами от 1 до 10 и любыми буквами. Расположение кораблей и правила тоже будут, как в привычной вам игре. Языковой момент добавляется следующим образом: называя цель, говорите не просто букву и цифру (A1), а называйте любое слово на эту букву (Apple 1). Повторяться нельзя.

Мемори / Memory Тренируем лексику, память.

Игровой набор состоит из карточек на определенную тему. Карточки бывают просто с изображением или с изображением и подписью. Правила игры очень простые: вы по очереди открываете по две карточки, и если они совпали, забираете их себе. Для тренировки лексики проговаривайте, что изображено на картинке. Для детей 10–12 лет можно брать более интересные темы, чем простые цвета или животные. Выбирайте достопримечательности, страны, профессии.Учиться английскому языку с удовольствием легко!

Игры помогут не только закрепить полученные навыки, но и хорошо провести время.

Запишитесь на бесплатный пробный урок по английскому!
