Steven, how do you manage your curls?

Lots of patience! It took me a long time to figure out the products and routine that work out for me! My YouTube is full of curly haired YouTubers who I get a lot of advice from. Watching their routines really helps. But my biggest advice is BLOWDRY ON LOW HEAT WITH A DIFFUSER, PLEASE.

All the best. Xx

Oh my. Uh. I really wasn't expecting this. 😅 Thank you? Is thank you an appropriate response?

Who's your favorite character from Shrek???? It's one of my favorite film series! Love the blog too!! :))))))))))))

I’m not even gonna lie, I have massive respect for Fiona. She is the queen of my heart.

Knox and Charlie!!!!!!!

They’re both dorky as hell, but we do love them, yes.

Hey Todd!! I've been in a reading slump lately, and though I haven't read The Foxhole Court, I've heard it's a great book! Do you have any other general recommendations? Particularly LGBTQ-themed books :)

Hi! Here are some of my favorites right now: 

~ Wilder Girls by Rory Power

~ Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

~ These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling

~ Running With Lions by Julian Winters

~ I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver

~ On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

They’re all great reads, all LGBTQ-centered. Enjoy!

do any of u (besides todd) have siblings? if so, what are their names and ages?

Steven here! I’m going to do my best to remember but if I miss some, I’ll come back and edit this later!

Gerard has two sisters, Gina and Gillian, and they’re 13 and 7, respectively. 

Charlie has a younger brother named Richard (or Richie-Itchie, as Charlie calls him), and he’s nine. 

Cameron has, if I remember correctly, three brothers, but I don’t know any of their names. Two of them are older, and one is younger. 

Knoxie has a sister and a brother. Julia (or Jules) is 15 and Michael is 11. 

I am siblingless, as is Neil. 

Thanks for the ask!

Todd, are you on that hell site again?

Cameron, to Todd

[askthedeadpoets]

Charlie I love you and I hope you feel better soon!!!! Did I mention I loved you because I do??

hOW DID I MISS THIS? Sorry it’s taken me approximately 5,000 years to answer, but thank you. (I love being loved and I love you toooooo.)

Does anyone like yoga or meditation?

If I miss a day of doing yoga, I seriously feel like actual death. It’s probably the most important thing in my daily routine.

A question for Neil: what was your favourite experience during A Midsummer Night's Dream?

This is probably going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but... having my boyfriend and all my friends there to support me along the way? That was pure fucking magic.

Hi. My name is Todd Anderson. Welcome to my so-called life.

March 4th

Todd is smaller than me, but not by much. They’re smaller than me, enough that I can spoon them in bed while we watch Netflix on my laptop. We can eat peanut butter cookies and I can relax because I can smell their coconut oil shampoo. 

I feel much better today. 

-Neil

[askthedeadpoets]

I brought you some of Mom's peanut butter cookies, and also, I love you.
