IM BACK FROM THE DEAD

[buffysummers]

Parker comes skidding around the corner of the stage just in time to collect his diploma, and then sweeps up Gwen to give her a big kiss in front of her classmates. The kiss, we later learned, was initially improvised. “I didn’t know I was going to do it,” Andrew Garfield revealed. “I just thought, ‘I just missed my girlfriend’s valedictorian speech. How am I going to make it up to her?’ Then I was thinking, ‘I’m graduating. I don’t really give a fuck about this place, and fuck all of the people. So I’m going to go in and have fun. And embarrass her!’ The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) dir. Marc Webb

i am going to miss this show truly

[curiooftheheart]

Full offense but sometimes fandom just totally make up the characterization of a character and then complain when that isn’t canon

[theallandthemoreofit-deactivate]

Also full offense but sometimes fandom makes up characterization of a character and then guilt trips and shames any fan that doesn’t agree with that specific perspective in all fanon works.

[the-dead-poet]

there’s a certain amount of respect that need to be given on BOTH sides. People who mainly stick to canon stuff need to respect fanon ideas (even if they don’t agree) and same with people who have more fanon ideas.

“Isn’t this the same desk set…” “Yeah, yeah, they gave me the same thing as last year.” “Oh. Maybe they thought you needed another one.” “Maybe they weren’t thinking about anything at all. The funny thing about this is I didn’t even like it the first time.”

[inahallucination]

the idea of anderperry being set up by their students while actually being together is taking over my brain so thanks for that

but here i present you

mr. neil perry and mr. todd anderson have amazing chemistry. despite neither of them teaching chemistry. everyone knows it, staff and student and parent alike

like, mr. perry brings mr. anderson coffee and snacks multiple times a day after any major essay is given back and students are piling up appointments with mr. anderson

mr anderson is always flustered around mr perry, though mr anderson is a very shy person and gets flustered around people in general, with mr perry it’s not an uncomfortable blush

in fact, the first time mr. anderson’s 2nd period heard him laugh was when mr perry came in to the office and said something that was too quiet for anyone to hear

and of course mr. anderson is always lending and recommending books or plays or poems to mr. perry

it’s often that mr. perry starts a lesson with, “todd- mr. anderson, i mean, actually had me read this -”

they’re literally perfect for each other so everyone is wondering, WHY THE HELL ARE THEY NOT DATING ALREADY????

so naturally, for the greater good, the students come together to get them together

….

“giving flowers is so romantic, and mr. anderson always has flowers in his classroom !”

“it’s a bit cheesy, tho, cassie”

“and what’s wrong with cheese??”

so they come in early to place flowers on mr. anderson’s desk 

(”neil? why did you give me more flowers? I only keep a few vases, and they’re filled with all the other ones you’ve given me this week.”

 “todd babe i only give you flowers in the morning to brighten up ur day. come on i’ve done this forever, im not going to drown you in flowers like /that/ time. i learned my lesson.” 

“yeah yeah, for what its worth it was sweet even if our dorm room looked like a garden and attracted a lot of bugs” 

“hehe thanks…. WAIT WHO IS GIVING YOU FLOWERS OTHER THAN ME??? IM YOUR HUSBAND HOW DARE SOME RANDOM ASSHOLE THINK THAT THEY COULD FLIRT WITH YOU not that i blame them you’re so fucking perfect but like you’re my husband WAS IT THAT ANDREW DUDE BABE HE’S A MATH TEACHER WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DATE A MATH TEACHER????”

“neil, love, i’m not going to go on a date with andrew, i’m literally married to you. also andrew has a wife, you know this. and i have a husband, he knows this. also it says ‘from neil perry’ on the card”

“oh”)

–

“how did the flowers not work?”

“mr anderson didn’t have room so he put them in the staff lounge”

“fuck”

—

so then they give mr neil chocolates

“these are the best kind of chocolates ever made !

“ur a fucking genius”

(”Hey, todd, dear”

“what’s up neil, im kinda busy”

“yeah yeah i know… it’s just are you still mad i forgot to do the dishes”

“what? no no of course not! u were really tired and it was just one day. im sorry i made you feel like that, i’ll make it up to you” 

“no you didn’t its just i thought you were trying to kill me”

“… neil what”

“well you left these chocolates on my desk and like im allergic tp them and theyre kinda like one of the only two things im allergic to , so i thought i was going to be the victim of a domestic crime”

“there’s a lot to unpack there, but neil i didn't leave you any chocolates. ugh it’s probably that dumbass from the science department i knew he was looking at you”

“babe please, we’ve talked about this matt isn’t into me”

“everyone’s into you, ur perfect”)

anyway

by this they kind of realize whats going on but they think it’s kinda funny so they let the chaos unfold (charlie is very proud when the poets meet up)

so they constantly get gifts and notes and stuff from “each other” and its hilarious but the students are very frustrated like 

“WHY IS NOTHING WORKING?????????????????????”

todd and neil watching their students, other random students, and the staff slowly lose their minds: huh thats our bad

eventually people get so invested in this the two get called into office to address the issue

and on that friday, neil is on morning announcements and says

“also everyone, please stop leaving gifts on mine and mr anderson’s desk, it’s sweet, but you guys almost killed me once and incriminated mr. anderson. also, todd, baby, wanna skip that teachers meeting and go home immediately after class and start our weekend ;)”

and everyone is like ???????????? W H A T

(but no one knows mr. anderson’s first name is todd)

anyway i thought the idea of anderperry being angry at the idea of someone flirting with them but also being angry at the idea of them not being cute was funny

like

“well todd is my  husband”

“oh that’s cool dude, he’s not really my type”

“what do you mean he’s not your type he’s like the most perfect person to exist, does perfection scare you?? does beauty??????”

also the anderperry teachers au only has these if you want them in one location - and if you add on feel free to use it !!!

[aedan-mills]

life is great when i get tagged in Teacher AUs

i wont be surprised if Kyle and Joey are behind trying to set them up so they get out of Extra school work because of Todd lmao

“Dude it’s perfect, we have to get Mr. A and Me. Perry together and then maybe they’ll stop giving us homework and just go on dates”

“Kyle, I’m pretty sure Cassie and the others are already on it–”

“How come Mr. Anderson keeps giving us homework, man? He needs to get laid or something.”

“Dude yeah”

little do they know

[inahallucination]

“kyle babe did you hear that mr. perry is married to someone named todd? also why is that name so familiar. ”

“whAT ?? WHAT ABOUT MR. ANDERSON??? WHAT ABOUT TRUE LOVE????”

“yea i know, i can’t believe he led him on”

“we gotta get mr. anderson a boyfriend and make perry jealous now”

“and then we can go on that date…?”

….

“todd babe do u ever feel like people are watching you, praying and waiting for ur downfall?”

“yeah babe 24/7 why?”

“no reason”

–

but like imagine neil giving another announcement like

“wheN I SAID TO STOP THE GIFTS, I DIDN’T MEAN YOU COULD TRY TO SET UP MR. ANDERSON TO OTHER PEOPLE. KEEP UR HANDS OF MY HUSBAND IM WATCHING YOU. fucking andrew”

“huh joey, i think i realize why the name todd was so familiar. also who is andrew and why are they trying to get in the way of true love????”

[aedan-mills]

Bonus HC, Mr. Perry and Mr. Anderson are the ones who got Kyle and Joey together sjdjbdjsdn

“Neil, you know my two Chaotic students, right?”

“why yes, Kyle who spiked then punchbowl and joey who hits the lights”

“Well i think they like each other but are living vicariously through setting us up together”

neil claps his hands really fast “OH BOY, is this what I think it is??”

“yep”

“can i–”

“no you cant dress up as walt whitman”

“ :c ”

[inahallucination]

“why notttt uncle walt is the height of romance”

“just because u fell in love with me when i called walt whitman a sweaty-toothed madman doesn’t mean he’s the height of romance”

“ur right, we should have joey write a poem about walt instead”

“joey once rhymed matter with matter and wrote an essay about how much he didn’t like to write poetry i don’t think he’s going to want to write a poem about uncle walt”

“…..what if u read the poem”

“neil now ur getting distracted”

“ok fine lets lock them up in a closet”

“ok so we can’t do anything that could get us sued-”

[the-viola-urge-to-be-cesario]

I don't think the dps fandom knows that it's NOT illegal to NOT put the Todd in the snowfield scene in every goddamn edit.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

the person reading this is going to survive the rough patch they’re going through

[dramaticfangirling]

on the topic of richard cameron:

tw: mentions of suicide, death, abuse, etc.

*i love dylan kussman this is not hate towards him, he portrayed the character so well

cameron’s character overall is essential to the plot, having some who outs keating and leads to todd finally speaking up and standing up for what he believes, but I have seen people who have said that he [cameron] really didn’t do anything wrong.

that’s where I have a problem. cameron says near the end “if it wasn’t for keating neil would be cozied up in his room right now dreaming of being a doctor right now. […] believe what you want but I say let keating fry.”

cameron is outwardly blaming keating for what happened to neil, not even considering the psychological abuse we see from neil’s father. keating may have convinced neil to follow his dreams, but he never lead neil to his death.

in the scene after charlie tells todd about neil’s death, we hear him say “it had to have been his father” which can he interpreted several ways. his father killed him, claimed suicide, or his father pressured him so much he felt trapped which we hear quoted in the movie. neil at one point says “I’m trapped” to keating. not “I feel like I’m trapped” “I’m trapped”.

that’s all.

[the-dead-poet]

and this isn’t to say that cameron wasn’t young or immature, but please do take into account that was he did was wrong, even if it was a foolish, immature decision

i'm so sorry did u say "bad editing"?????

these are all real pictures,,,, right?

AND I LOVE THIS SM OH MY GOD YEP. CANON SO TRUE

[inahallucination]

I have this hc that Knox, who is a romantic, is completely oblivious to other people, especially. Like if he likes someone he knows it but that/s about it. His gaydar? absolute shit. He can’t tell straight couples are couples either so you can’t even blame the heteronormativity of society. He’s just oblivious

–

Knox, staring at where Todd and Neil are cuddled up with Todd’s legs thrown over Neil’s, and Neil’s face buried in his neck as they softly read poetry to each other: wow i wish i had a best friend like that

–

Knox, watching pitts and meeks sneak away and come back obviously disheveled: oh no did they fight :(

–

Knox, noticing Todd’s been reading love poetry (whilst tangling his fingers with Neil; softly giggling as Neil kisses his hand): woah Todd, do u have a crush or something

[the-dead-poet]

literally broke down crying yesterday because he told me he was proud of me

[ameliterature]

"I was good, I was really good."

He didn't mean just the play, I think. He meant HIS WHOLE LIFE. He did good by his parents-- he was an over all good son, student, and person. But it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough for them.

So he thought he'd end things with his own interpretation of a high note. He was good. It was good. While it lasted.

friendly reminder that Neil became a full fledged member of the Dead Poets Society before Mr. Keating. And i believe that Mr. Keating definitely thought of this fact after Neil’s death
