DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) + letterboxd reviews [insp]
This doesn’t surprise me
the fact that the dude's last name is literally Meth really makes this post
@tuskofthyme and I have decided they all have new ship names.
Teil >>>>> Anderperry.
Gephen >>>>> Mitts/Peeks
Richlie >>>>>> Chameron
We will not be taking questions at this time
Oh.
And Kn*x is here, too.
I guess.

Just to be obnoxious, if Neil & Todd are a green/blue ship respectively
TEIL IS THE BEST NAME FOR THEM

teal is my favorite color and tiel is my favorite ship
today’s date is the 3rd? what’s next, the 4th? the 5th? the minor fall, the major lift?
hey bestie have you got any deeks fic recs?
*cracks knuckles* this is the ask I've always wanted. Strap in, it's not going to be short, so mANY BELOVEDS.
hoooooo boy YES--depending on your flavour but all of these will be family friendly.
forever upset we didn’t get a todd heart eyes scene during the play in parallel to neil heart eyes scene during the impromptu poem
“Well this is awkward.” Neil chuckled as he and Ginny walked out of the theatre.
“Awkward? You’re telling me.” Ginny scowled. “I have two days left to ask out Chris, until your friend,” she glared at Neil. “Plans to ask out Henley Hall’s only non-theatre lesbian.”
“Trust me, I don’t find having to prevent my love stricken friend getting in the way of a budding sapphic romance ‘fun’.”
“Quit joking around, Neil! This is do or die. This is endgame. These next few days will alter my future permanently, for better or for worse.”
“I see why you’re in theatre now, Danbury. You’re more dramatic than me. And that’s saying something.”
“You are a cruel friend, Perry. Cruel. Cold-hearted. Leaving your poor friend to chase the girl of her dream’s unassisted.” Ginny huffed jokingly, but she was still freaking out internally. She was always going to ask Chris out. But the impending time pressure made it a little too real.
“I’ve got to go the other way. All boys school that bears a striking resemblance to prison, remember?”
“See ya. Don’t forget to represent the Anti-Knox agenda.”
“Anti Knox for Chris.”
“Same thing!” Ginny called over her shoulder. Her life, she thought to herself, was slowly becoming a hopeless romantic rom-com, like something her mum would watch, except replace herself with another unremarkable brunet.
Whatever Knox was planning to do, she just had to top it by one.
Piece of cake.
small thing bc I believe in Ginny and Chris <3

anderperry soulmate au where u get things that ur soulmate loses
so like if neil loses a book, todd will find it, and im mostly thinking things u can touch, but ideas and thoughts might be cool too
anyway
//
neil is studying when a scrap of paper ends up with his notes and it’s a unfinished poem and neil loves it
he’s so excited that his soulmate is a poet
“maybe it’s just a school assignment or something”
“shut up cameron”
and he reads and rereads it over and over
until he thinks that his soulmate will probably want it back and loses it
//
todd finds a red sweater that looks like a hug
he feels a bit awkward about wearing it but it looks so comforting and he just puts it on
and he thinks about losing it so his soulmate gets it back, but it just feels so comfortable and safe he ends up keeping it
(neil recognizes it when todd absentmindedly wears it after he transfers to welton)
//
neil is always finding pens and poems, books and plays, homework assignments and notes and it makes him so happy to read the poems, except when the poems look a bit too personal then he tries not to
he usually throws them somewhere randomly to lose them
but he keeps a few unfinished poems for himself
(the ones that are crossed out and scratched and would have ended in the trashcan anyway)
//
one day, todd goes back to his room at balincrest after a long day of testing and there’s just a /guy/ there
and he’s like ?????????
and the guys like “heyy there im charlie, i think ur my friends soulmate?”
and todd’s like “what”
and charlie’s like “yeah, we were in the woods and neil lost me, next thing i know im here”
and todd is like “w h a t”
and charlie is like “do u have any snacks? im starving”
and todd is like “ w u t “
//
and if they exchanged lost thoughts
neil writes down stanzas and lines and whole poems sometimes, planning on giving them to his soulmate when they meet <3
//
alternative meeting, todd wanders off and loses himself and next thing he knows he’s falling onto some guy’s lap
anyway
I love a cup of ᵉ ˢ ᶜ ᵃ ᵖ ᶦ ˢ ᵐ in the morning.
Yes, this is really a thing…
Yep, because baby formula is one of the most shoplifted things in America. Which should ALSO radicalize you.
Or… We stop shoplifting? 🤔 Are we demonizing acts to stop crimes now?
ill tear your head off your shoulders you dumb fuck
I’m all for radicalization like the government and society are fucked. But they put baby formula in locked cases because it is used to make meth. The store does this to keep an eye out if someone is buying way too much. Like waaaaay too much.
No. They lock it up because hungry babies need it and there is a thriving market for stealing baby formula because people will pay good money to guarantee their babies don’t starve.
You can’t make meth out of baby formula. You can stretch some drugs by cutting it with baby formula but “Drug dealers sometimes use the powdered formula to dilute heroin and methamphetamine or to stretch the product when supplies run low. However, experts say that more often than not, formula is stolen because of its high market demand among consumers rather than drug dealers.”
This is what imperialism and capitalism and the “war on drugs” does to people’s brains. You can see that people are so desperate to feed their babies that the people who rule your lives keep baby formula under lock and key but rather than that radicalizing you and making you want to fight for a world where no baby ever goes hungry, you justify this draconian bullshit because you’ve fallen for the propaganda that baby formula is used in some nebulous relation to “drugs” and drugs are bad so whatever inhuman monstrosity that occurs must be justifiable.
Baby formula is stolen because babies fucking need it and it’s goddamn 25$ a tin
for old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. let’s do it for the love that used to be here!! it is reason enough!!
shane and ryan are the funniest bitches alive for making a whole thing about buzzfeed unsolved ending, a dramatic end to an era, only to come back with their own legally distinct version of the show like a week later
my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in
…i did read some of the novels, but i couldn’t get through them entirely…
…and so i genuinely have no idea whether or not this is serious. coz i mean, obviously, it could be a joke. but it could also have legitimately happened. people who have only seen the films underestimate the amount of random things that happen in the books that could come off as utterly silly and ridiculous if removed from their context.
Haha, well, it is pretty much what happens. Sam is looking for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol and is despairing that he will ever find him. He sits down and does what any self-respecting Tolkien character does during their moments of hopelessness and bursts into song.
It’s a really good song (ten year old Ship had it memorized) and as he begins the refrain a second time, he hears Frodo’s voice answering weakly from above. Frodo is poisoned and despairing and beaten but he is still a Hobbit and cannot resist a singalong even while on the brink of death.
some su art i still like from 2019!
So while this whole “who is worst Chris? Chris Pratt” stuff is going on. I think it’s also important to talk about Best Chris. And it’s Chris Eccleston.
Reblogging and adding these tags because I didn't know that and it makes the "lots of planets have a north" scene hit different!
“The funny thing about this is I didn’t even like it the first time.”

This was such a formative movie
This shit was revolutionary for the mid-90s. Among other things it helped me understand that transgender and cross-dressing were completely separate things.
To this day, I am in awe of the fact that Patrick Swayze not only campaigned hard to get the audition, not only auditioned in dress and makeup, but spent most of the day leading up to the audition walking around LA in dress and makeup.
This was a man who could sing, dance, act, ride a horse, fight, and walk in heels, he had nothing to prove to anyone, and he is MISSED.
Okay, I’m not done feeling about this.
If you’re younger, you may not know Patrick Swayze; he was Taken From Us in 2009. But Patrick Swayze was an icon of masculinity. Men were willing to watch romantic movies because Patrick Swayze was in them.
Patrick Swayze was fucking beefcake.
And this man didn’t just agree to do a movie where the only time he’s not actually in drag is the first three minutes, which involve stepping out of the shower, doing make up, and getting Dressed. He has ONE LINE that is delivered in a man’s voice, and it’s not during those three minutes.
And if you watch those three minutes, you see a stark difference between his portrayal of Miss Vida Bohéme and Wesley Snipes as Noxeema Jackson. (I am not criticizing Snipes’ performance. They were different roles.) Noxeema was a comedy character. Chi-Chi was a comedy character. But Miss Vida Bohéme was a dramatic role, played by a dramatic powerhouse.
When Vida sits down in front of the mirror, she sees a man. And she doesn’t like it.
Then she puts her hair up, and her face lights up.
“Ready or not,” she says. “Here comes Mama.”
And while Noxeema is having fun with her transformation (at one point breaking into a giggling fit after putting on pantyhose), Vida is simply taking pleasure in bringing out her true self. And when she’s done, she sees this:
And you can FEEL her pride.
All of this from an actor who, up to this point, walked on to the screen and dripped testosterone.
It matters that this happened in 1995. It wouldn’t fly today, wouldn’t be the right choice, we’ve moved past it, but it mattered and was important that it happened the way it happened then. It’s one of the stepping stones.
