watching a piece of media set in a different time period is NOT for the weak

candid reaction to finding out the poets’ ages in modern day

— math stuff —

dead poets society is set in 1959

the characters are roughly 16 years old

1959 - 16 = 1943

they were born around 1943

2025 - 1943 = 82

if they were 17 they’d be 83

im gonna depress you with my headcanon surrounding Meek's funeral cause ive been thinking about it ever since i heard the Vietnam lore

When Meeks’ parents got the news, they decided to reach out to some of his friends. They had met Pitts before, so they got in contact with him. No one had really stayed in contact since graduation. They all slowly drifted apart. He wrote letters to each of the poets. Pitts was 100% at the funeral. Charlie got his letter and showed up to the funeral. A little late cause of traffic, but he was there. Knox got his letter and showed up. Pitts did not have Todd’s address, and no one has really been able to contact him since Neil’s death, so he never gets his letter. Pitts wrote Cameron a letter as well, and was unsure if he would send it. However, a few days later, while walking down the street, he sees a courtesy box and basically thinks, "To hell with it," so he mails it. Cameron gets the letter and goes to visit Meeks’ grave. Todd learns Meeks is dead from his obituary in the newspaper. When he shows up to pay his respects, Cameron is already there. The silence is awkward, but worth it.

thank you for reading my rambling <3

(I've never posted any headcanons before so pls forgive any mistakes)
