Been a lot of things happening in my life lately, havent gotten to post. I appreciate the new tumblers who have followed. Currently working a show for my theatre and dealing with Covid.
I have a project in the works, mentalities of the dead poets! I'm planning on doing 5 or 6 main mentalities in the show and how they steer the character. If anyone has ideas or wants to add, feel free to message!
Enjoy my life in DPS pics below :)
What kind of poster are you?
As in the way you post on this app
The slow and steady. Posts are ling and perfectly the way you want. Posts maybe once a month, sometimes longer. You tend to have projects that you do and then post rather than headcanons and random short posts
The Reblogger. Loves the app with all their heart, but finds it hard to write about the fandoms they're in. Their strong suit is adding into headcanons and other ideas.
The Wave. Probably a student, because they have long periods of not posting and then suddenly they posts 5 or 6 things at once. So many headcanons at 3 in the morning. Go to sleep.
The Routine. Has a balance of long intricate posts and smaller ones. Most semi regularly, and has enough followers that they have the motivation to upkeep their feed.
The Photagrapher but not really. These are the people who post all or almost all photos and pictures. Usually in a movie fandom and they post pics of scenes and aesthetically pleasing backgrounds. Lowkey the foundation of fandoms because people use their posts to finds pics for their own.
If youd be interested in DA drinks, let me know your favorites or react to this post. I have ideas, I'd love to make a master list for mixologists.
Story idea
Todd having major acne, and thinking everyone looks at him like hes ugly bc of it. He has major anxiety about it and it bothers him a lot. Neil sees him rly self conscious abt it. He says "look at my face" and todd finds a lot of acne too. But he says "I can barely notice it, I didnt even realize." And neil says "yea and I cant see any of yours unless I'm rly searching for it, your fine."
This is a story outline not a fic, dont bully me.
Its ugly.
Red bumps. Valleys and fissures across his skin. Todd looks in the mirror and sees a familiar picture, as if he needs more of a reason to keep his head down. He's always been told his acne was normal, but ugly isnt normal. He trudges out of the bathroom, and gets ready. Keeps his head down in class. Taps his leg, looks out the window, studies the cracks and marks on his old desk. Anything to keep from raising his chin, having people see his whole face.
He can feel his breath catch at random times. He doesnt need a reason, if his face isnt enough reason. During English, lunch, study hall. His vision blurs around the edges, he stops breathing for a moment. Just a moment, before catching his breath and keeping his eyes fixed on his latin. He sits with his roommates, his fellow dead poets, if they consider him a fellow dead poet. He cant look up at them, and he doesnt talk to him. With a few words from Neil, they dont question his silence, and it comes easy for them to all finish their work, one of them silently correcting another when its needed.
He doesnt go out for an afternoon walk. He doesnt need more exposure, he already feels like every peice of armour he has is stripped away from his. He goes to his shared room, and lays with his face flat in the bed. Breathe in, and out. He turns over and lays on his back, his vision blurring slightly again. A few tears leak out of his eyes, but after a few more breaths he seems to be at a manageable level.
"What the hell is going on with you?" Todd jumps a little, his shoulders clenching again.
"Wha-what do you mean?"
"You've been even worse than you usually are at ...everything? I didn't...you know what I mean." Neil leans against the wall by his bed, his head leaning to look at his high-strung roommate.
Todd is sitting with his back against the wall, his legs pulled up to his chest, only his eyes visible over his knees. He is shaking slightly, his body shivering to cope with cold that isnt there.
"I'm fine, dont worry about it."
"Is it homework? Are you just stressed?" Todd looks up, suddenly confused by how wrong the statement is. Neil is sitting on his bed now, across from him. He looks on as Todd scratches his face, exhaling as he drops his head into his knees again.
"Wow. If its...you realize we all have acne right?" Neil is dumbfounded. Dotting Todd's face are almost unrecognizable spots. Not the worst, and especially nothing to be ashamed of in a school filled with teens. Is this the reason Todd's been catching his breath and tapping his foot all day?
"What?"
"Look at me, Todd. My face is literally covered in the stuff." He tilts his head, showing off his cheek.
"I..its not that bad..you can barely see it."
"Todd, yes you can. Yours is about the same as mine, and the same as most of the boys in this school. Todd can feel tears leaking out. His breath even more ragged then before. Neil looks completely normal. He must then.
"Its...its fine then? Noone noticed today? I looked... in the mirror this morning."
"Dont worry about it." Neil chuckles.
The two get in pajamas, crawl into bed.

How'd your day go: a critical look at the english language
Working on a ghost write, here are some Charlie Dalton headcannons or story ideas I'm working with. Criticism is encouraged
Charlie has massive anxiety he just hides it by being incredibly talkative and overconfident. He actually really needs people to like him.
He is incredibly tired of being so energetic all the time. He cant be happy all the time its exhausting, but he feels like he has to.
Touch starved Charlie. Why he likes to bring attention to himself and joke around so much, as a form on intimacy.
Adhd Charlie Dalton but a more modernized world. Like they have medication for him, the premise of the story is he loses it or gets it taken.
Chaotic insomniac Charlie with an assist from another dead poet to get him to calm down enough to sleep.
Hypervigilant Charlie. This can and probably will be done for all the poets bc I'm crazy for this trope but I think itd be cool for charlie especially who is so laid back usually.
ADD ON PLZ FAV CHARLIE HEADCANONS AND IDEAS
Things to do when your not feeling very Oscar Wilde. (DA, Like a Dead Poet, Flamboyantly Neil Perry, ect.)
-Look up a playlist inspired by a DA character (I look up a character I've been obsessing over on spotify and let that play)
Find some poetry or an old book and read it outloud. Most effective while standing up/walking around your room. Speak with clarity, passion, and musicality. And have fun with it!
Put on your most mysterious clothing, best DA makeup if your into that. Take a walk from one place to another and back home. Be as pretentious and moody as possible. You are a mystery. For added effect, go to a coffee place, get coffee, then storm out. (Some may not feel comfortable doing this. That's fine)
This works best in a class setting, so if your feeling blah at school. Scoot your chair back a little, and sit on the near edge of your seat (as if your perched or sitting very deliberately). Adjust your feet and hands accordingly. This helps me feel more dramatic and like a main character in my opinion. If this doesnt work, feel free to strike any pose in your seat that makes you feel pretentious in class.
Find an old movie or a movie you haven't watched in a while. (Dead Poets Society, Secondhand Lions, The Notebook are my favorites)
Listen to an old radio show. They're so so interesting and there are so many different genres for any mood your in or want to be in.
Rant. Whether it be in an empty room or to someone. Pick a topic you like or want to talk about or a thought you've been stuck on for awhile and say it out loud. I do this with headcanons, scene analyses, and character breakdowns all the time.
Learn how to say a phrase, word, or question in a different language or in a language you've been studying.
Put all your devices away and do absolutely nothing for 20-30 minutes. There are studies that show doing absolutely nothing is a reset your your brain, and helps with mood and productivity as long as you have a time limit. Do absolutely nothing.
Find some quotes you like and say them over to yourself.
ACTIVE DEAD POETS SOCIETY BLOGS PLEASE REBLOG!!! I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU
Please reblog, so I can see how many other blogs are still active!!!
Hi :) I post semi-regularly abt DPS and DA things :)
DPS commentary during the show to get thoughts out and not post 2000000 posts.
"Sounds to me like your daunted..." OKKKK
TO INDEED BE A GODDDD
Neil legit barkssss at ppl can I do that? Am I cute enough to pull that off??? Carpe diem?
Todd writing poems is my vibe ever day all day. I loveeeee
Charlie's encouraging pat on the back oml what a bro
Todd's general agony is literally too relatable.
Yawp-Loud cry or yell. Yawping stance is critical. See Todd Anderson for example.
What's Todd's poems about? I need an analysis? I want to know bc it seems like something I relate to but idk why?
Forget them-FORGET THEM
Dont you forget this.
Ok but the boys are literal puppies on the soccer field
Friends, scholars, welton men. OKKKKK
When Charlie's a musical genius and poet at the same time.
GOTTA DO MORE!!!!! GOTTA BE MORE!!!!!!
Pipesmoke+Sax= Aesthetic
"Ooooo sonorous. Vocabulary "
Knoxious™️- He gotta calm down
Yawwwwwwwwwwpppp
Charlie's little beret. Dude hes really getting into itttttt.
Ever since the Keating scene about walking and conformity I walk different in the halls, like try to not follow someone's pace??? Idk
Me every day when I should be getting up: Exercising the right not to walk hehehehe
Its rather... aerodynamic isnt it? NEIL YOU LITTLE SHIT I LIKE WHERE YOUR GOIN WITH THIS
"Profane and unauthorized article..." um charlie what did you do...?
"There's a difference between sucking the marrow and choking on the bone" translation: your my kid stop getting hurt your my responsibility
Oh shoot Mr.Perry's here. Do I really have the mental wherewithal to watch the rest of this?
Neil crying makes me cry. Stop it.
"How do you stand being here?"
"Well then your acting for him too." Well yea that's the move here.
"I'm trapped." *laughs to hide pain*
Abused Neil? Mebe?
Neil preforming is an actors dreammmm. Rsl go offffff.
"If we shadows have offended..." is DIRECTLY TO MR.PERRY THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT MAN AND YOU FAILED.
Neil gets pushed center-upstage awwwwwwww bbbb
Ok time for tears
Vomiting upset is a different kind of upset. Those who understand understand.
Todd screaming after Neil's death is probably the loudest he's voiced his emotions ina while, not counting the yawp bc he was forced to do it somewhat.
I hope a teacher loves me enough to cry when I leave. Not die, but just leave. Can a teacher care that much?
I'm not saying Cameron's a bad person but yea blaming a kids suicide on Keating is horrifying and I dont understand how selfish a person could be.
Todd is shaking when hes in the office being told to sign the statement. Hes trembling.
Todd, still anxious and scared, getting up on a desk. The last hurrah. What a fucking legend.
Ok Neil I get stirred up by things but the problem is I get stirred up by everything this needs to stop.
Neil when he learns about the play and has his blanket and jumps around the room is the equivalent of a puppy zooming around the room prove me wrong
Ok but I'm watching and I noticed
The first time Keating asks Todd a question he doesnt give an answer. He just has that panick look. I know that panick look and I do not like that panick look. I understand that panick look tho and that's why I like Todd.
DPS Discords? Where????? I need??? I need my people?
Words to switch around for a solid vocabulary/other tips. I feel like these make me feel more academic, especially tied with other aspects in DA. This post will be affectionately named:
Dead Poets Society Vernacular: How to Speak like a Dead Poet
Words
Good-Lovely
Excuse me- Pardon
Thanks- (I) appreciate it
Yup/Got it- Understood
And so- Therefore
Very- Immensely, tremendously, or awfully for informal conversations
Angry- Livid
Very surprised (used in extreme situations)- Astonished
Pretty- Alluring, Enchanting, Charming
Unique or eye-catching- Distinct
To add to an idea or conversation- Furthermore, Likewise
To add difference or a space between ideas- Although, However, or Whereas
Words to add an emphasis- Cheifly, Granted, Undoubtedly, or Generally speaking
Boring- Monotonous or Tedious
Things to follow/Rules (writing and/or speaking)
-Make use of your commas and periods, especially when speaking. You can sound very well-spoken with a limited vocabulary just by pausing in certain areas in a conversation, poem, or presentation.
-Especially for Midwesterners like myself, diction and pronouncing your words correctly is very important. Softening harsh er's, a's, and o's is a great strategy you could use in conversation if you want!
-Avoid more than one finnicky word in a sentence. These include words like kinda, maybe, possible, I dont know, and whatever. Using two of these in an idea or sentence makes you seem less confident in your abilities to convey a point. This allows you to still sound confident in situations where you actually lack confidence (I use this all the time when I'm working with someone I need to make a strong impression on). Bad example= I dont know about that, it could be this possibly. Good example= It could possibly be this, your welcome to double check.
-Using words with the correct connotation (words can either carry a negative, positive, or neutral reputation depending on how they're normally used) helps you get your point across better and faster, because you dont have to explain your personal emotional standing on the subject.
This is especially helpful in DA, because using words that still hold the meaning you want but have a slightly darker tone to them gives off moodier, dark academic vibes. If you dont think a word sounds correct, you can search for 'words that mean *blank* with a negative/positive/neutral connotation'.
--Think of talking as an art form. Even if you tend to talk in a more monotone way like me, inflection and using the correct words is powerful. Everyone is prone to certain inflections when they speak. By changing or leaning into these inflections you can sound however you want without necessarily using a big word.
Example: I personally speak in a medium tone voice, and my sentences turn down at the ends. I also tend to keep my voice relatively monotone throughout the day. When i want to add emphasis to something, i can say something in a higher tone than I usually do, or I can use more inflection than I would on a regular basis. If I want to sound more casual I would lean into the natural inflection of my voice, keeping a median tone and simply using larger words when I need to.
-When you dont know a word that accurately depicts what you want to say, add the phrase "for lack or a better term". This can be added either at the beginning or the end of a word that you use. Example: It was *insert word*, for lack of a better term. I sometimes dont have the brain power to sound too intelligent and I forget things easily, this one is a LIFESAVER.
Hope this long post didnt bore you, blessings to any who read it all and was interested!
Living the life Neil Perry wouldve lived. Being a part of every single play I can audition for. Reading poetry but but my schoolbooks. We gotta start a "just neil perry things"
Ghost write for Neil (might add more to this one)
I never wanted to be called brunette. I thought it too beautiful a word. I've oft looked in the mirror and haven't seen brunette, haven't seen the gorgeous dark brown that I think of when the word is spoken towards me. I have brown hair.
And I didnt ask to be seen that way either. I never asked for you to look upon me and remember the way I am. I never asked for a car or money. I never wanted to displease you, or make you tired of having a son. I didnt even ask for your love. And maybe this is all my fault.
Because I didnt ask for you to trust me. I didn't ask for you to beleive in me and I never asked permission to follow my dreams. Maybe I should've.
Maybe I shouldve asked to be human, to make mistakes. Maybe I shouldve stopped feeling after a while. Maybe I shouldve been ok with feeling neglected every once and awhile.
I couldn't bring myself to become numb. I felt it all, every single thing. I never forgot, at least not completely. In my dreams, in the way I cant give up on people, the way i need to feel every single emotion. I never could just ignore your effect on me. I cried, i laughed, i feared for my life, i played awake, and i felt the emptiness I tried to avoid.
But nothing can fix me, and nothing will fix you. I cant keep asking for it to happen someday.
Note/Reblog if this is something youd be interested in:
Diary entries/Ghost writes from DPA characters.
So I'd choose a character, and a feeling it situation and write in that characters view. This would be mostly angst or negative themes, because itd revolve around issues the poets face. I have a few drafts and people could always message me with ideas and headcanons to write out in POV of your character.
