“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not.”
-Henry David Thoreau

This is a character roleplay blog for Neil Perry (portrayed by Robert Sean Leonard) from the 1989 film Dead Poets Society.
The film takes place in the year 1959, but that won’t be acknowledged for the sake of this blog being well past that point in time.
Neil is an eighteen year old student in his junior year of high school at Welton Academy, an Episcopalian all-male preparatory boarding school in Vermont. His parents want him to go to Harvard and be a doctor, but his dream is to act.
His friends are Todd Anderson (@sweaty-toothedpoet), Knox Overstreet (@yawp-knoxious), Richard Cameron (@r-cameron-tradition), Steven Meeks (@mr-ill-try-anything-once), Gerard Pitts (@gerardjpitts) , Charlie Dalton (@dxltons), and Sterling Spick aka Stick (@pinnesasong).
(If you’d like to be a character, please message me; we could be mutuals and roleplay together! Keating, Ginny, and Chris are still available)
Keep in mind that none of these blog posts are canon and that they are for entertainment purposes only. That being said, headcanoned content will be incorporated.
Note: This blog will recognize Neil’s birthday as RSL’s birthday, February 28th.
~ ROLEPLAY RULES ~
- Don't be rude. Just because the mod (@cosmicbobatea) is an adult, doesn't mean they're going to tolerate rude behavior.
- No explicit NSFW. Some mild or innuendo content is fine.
- Cursing is fine for the most part, but please refrain from using slurs whatsoever.
- Homophobia, transphobia, racism, pedophilia, xenophobia, etc. will not be tolerated.
- If you want to interact as a character, use anonymous ask. Character blogs are perfectly fine.
- If you want to send art in asks, please do, by all means, but keep it SFW.
- Do not spam asks!
- For any OOC (out of character) asks, please specify in your ask or send an ask on the mod’s blog.
- I am allowed to ignore any ask or DM if it makes me uncomfortable or goes against my rules.
