Hii! Is it okay if i use some of your headcanons for the poets as inspiration for my fics? With credits, ofc.
I just really want to write about them but don't have many ideas. (if you have any specific hc you'd want to see written I would be grateful too <3)
@charles-simmons heyy, sorry for being late! <33
super duper grateful and amazed that you'd want to use my silly headcanons for a story, please do! as you said, credit would be nice, but otherwise that's completely fine!
lots of love <3

i think the world is amazing and awesome except for the part of the world where the Dead Poets Society book exists :(
it was literally written after the movie, what do you mean you took all these fun characters and turned them horrible and mean to each other??
ALSO I LIKE KNOX OKAY, WHY DID YOU DO HIM LIKE THAT IN THE BOOK, HE WASN'T THAT CREEPY ABOUT CHRIS

new headcanons!
☆ THE POETS AT THE CINEMA ☆
(this got really long bc i love them so much aahhhh i hope you enjoy these headcanons as much as i do-)
CHARLIE: his favourite genre is comedy, plus movies about outlaws and teen rebels, says "so me" all through the film. oh yeah he doesn't shut up ever, talks the whole time until someone tells him to please stop talking because the movie's more interesting than how he'd dress as a pirate. every time there's a kissing scene, he turns to the poet sitting next to him and wiggles his eyebrows with a smirk. a nightmare to clean up after, his popcorn ends up all over the floor and himself. BUT all this doesn't apply to emotional movies. if a movie is sad, charlie is silent the entire time, doesn't crack a joke once and comes out of it with half his popcorn left.
KNOX: cries when watching romance, tells the poets he's not crying!! just the dry air of the cinema getting to him. insists on taking pictures of them in front of the movie poster. has accidentally thrown his ticket away instead of the receipt on several occasions. if there are cardboard cut-outs of characters at the cinema, he needs to take pics with all of them. eats a strange mixture of snacks, popcorn, pretzels and ice cream. asks "whAT?" at least five times through the movie bc he can't follow the plot. really fun to watch a movie with because he'll audibly gasp at every plot twist. idk him at the cinema is really cute guys i swear.
PITTS: needs a toilet break three times throughout the movie (tall guy small bladder king). his legs get cramps from the rows being too narrow but he doesn't care, pittsie LOVES going to the cinema. will most often go with knox and meeks, they're the best film trio. knows loads of lore about all sci-fi movies they watch, and acts annoyed at people asking questions because OF COURSE ni-bo64 has to destroy Leobor. eats salty snacks and always chooses the biggest cup of soda (meeks points this out every time pittsie has to squeeze around him to go to the toilet). loudly shouts "YES" when something he approves of happens. is the best sport about charlie's smirks in kissing scenes, he just like puts his hand on charlie's thigh really slowly and mouths 'hi'.
MEEKS: really likes movies with a hidden message, is the only one charlie will watch emotional movies with. but also just a huge nerd, him and pittsie watch sci-fi stuff together and then talk about every plot point for an hour. ORANGE SODA. really big fan of good film music. can't sit still and always steals the arm rest. doesn't talk but says "WHAT??" way too loud when a plothole occurs or a thing he was hoping for doesn't happen. is the one to buy the tickets.
NEIL: loves the comfy velvet seats. always has half a breakdown about "omg maybe i should go into film instead of stage acting??" after seeing a movie he really likes. is a little movie nerd, especially for superhero movies! loves the moment of stepping out of the cinema into the fresh night air. his snack is sweet popcorn or gummy bears. gets so excited when something cool is about to happen, he's waving his arms and being like "oh- ooohhhh- oooohhhhhh" until the cool thing actually happens. makes sure everyone has their tickets (goes into airport dad mode). laughs a lot and looks around at all the poets like "did you see that??" as if they're not all watching the same movie.
TODD: too anxious to complain about sitting behind a tall person, he'll often try to sit on top of his balled-up jacket to be a bit taller and see enough of the screen. pitts notices after a while and is like "hey todd, could we swap seats? i'd love to sit next to knox". todd only realises what that was about a few hours later and is silently soo grateful for pitts not embarrassing him. likes artsy movies where not a lot happens, and LOVES reruns bc then he already knows the plot and can relax. doesn't ever talk throughout the movie but laughs SO MUCH. mouths the lines when he already knows a movie. when there's a kissing scene he'll get embarrassed. doesn't buy snacks cos they're "too loud" and then eats all the other poets' snacks. every time. likes watching the ads before the movie.
CAMERON: asks "does anyone need to go to the bathroom before the movie starts" like fifty times before they watch the movie. hates sitting next to strangers during the movie because then he's always hyper aware of his behaviour and can't really focus on the film. likes historical movies and will watch them with todd (no one can tell me todd/cameron friendship isn't real, it makes so much sense). salty popcorn kinda guy. knows the names of all the actors and actresses.
#dead poets society#dps fandom#dead poets headcanons#i woke up from my nap and needed to talk about my boys#oh also thanks greenie for your kind words about my exam and sleep#to the people who have asked about the podcast#(yes i am aware that it was only two BUT STILL)#i won't be able to do anything until after i've finished my exams#but i have a really fun concept for that podcast i think!#so it will happen! just after my finals#didn't already wanna make a post about it bc i don't wanna get people's hopes up#dps#dps headcanons

a thing i really like about the dps fandom is that all people with pictures of the poets as their pfp have to have one of two pictures of that poet. like i share my pfp with a lot of others because this is "i am neil" profile pic option one and then there's the other one where he looks off to the side. same for the "i am todd" pfp options on here. and it's so funny because loads of people have the same pfps but you can still differentiate them by vibe, you're like "oh this is charlie with phone who posts silly memes and this is charlie with phone who posts heartbreak"
i'm very tired and just about to take a nap so i don't know if this makes any sense but the poets who get it get it
#dead poets society#dps#dps fandom#i am so sleepy#very todd of me to crave a nap#but i wrote a really good really important exam today#So i guess that's neil of me#Gonna curl up on the sofa like a cat and sleep#also i'm thinking of maybe making a dps podcast#if you read that about the podcast i'm surprised#didn't think anyone would get that far#this is our secret now#I feel like a sleepy cat

guys you don't know how much adoration i have for 161 by The Guest List and Ruby Fields by Sarah and the Sundays-
soo if anyone wants to listen to the music Neil Perry (and me) listen to, go ahead and put those ones on. it's canon that Neil listens to them.

how the poets are at cooking/baking <3
TODD: hates cooking. the anxiety is too much. all his stuff ends up undercooked cos he's afraid of burning something. BUT he loves soup. it's chill and easy and makes him feel all comfy, and in winter, you'll find him cooking it more often, even though he still uses about ten timers for everything out of fear.
NEIL: overall not much of a cooking person, he rarely does it- but if he gets the opportunity, he enjoys it, especially if he can listen to music while cooking. loves making salads because he somehow really enjoys cutting vegetables into small pieces. go to for baking are muffins, sometimes brings them to birthday parties.
CHARLIE: do not let him anywhere near your kitchen, guys. the smoke detector goes off every single time this man lays his hands on an oven, there's stains and spills all over the floor, and he randomly forgets to add salt. he just can't figure out how to cook or bake, even if it's a box cake or something.
KNOX: LOVES it. he's not really an exceptionally good cook or baker, but he tries so hard, and it usually turns out well! He loves making pasta and trying out new kinds of sauces, he likes baking standard cakes and INSISTS on giving the poets cake for their birthdays. oh and Christmas cookies. Knox loves them.
PITTS: no, hear me out: pittsie's an AMAZING baker. he started out simple but soon moves on to fancier tartes and quiche and pretty cupcakes. Charlie basically inhales all of them. Oh and pittsie will bake brownies for their study group meetings so they don't suffer too much while studying all night.
MEEKS: why should you cook if you don't have to? Meeks makes Mac'n'cheese from the box, eats pasta with olive oil and salt and mostly just lives off of pittsie's kitchen work. BUT his 3am pancakes are literally the best thing anyone has ever eaten. This man can only cook after midnight.
CAMERON: SO precise. Follows the recipe almost too closely, always double checks every measurement. Because of this, his cooking usually turns out really good, but he doesn't really enjoy it.

on nights where it's hard to go to sleep, where todd's thoughts are all over the place and he needs to burrow his head in his pillow to try to get some quiet, neil will read him parts of his current plays as a good night story.
"No- Neil, it-, it's late and you, you should be getting sleep, Hager won't go easy with the-"
"It's fine, Todd. Look, I'll just sit here at your desk to read it, yeah?"
"Yeah but- Neil, no, it's silly, I'll sleep in no time, you just-"
"C'mon, that's a laugh. I can hear your thoughts when you look like that, they take up so much space that I won't sleep either, not with how much I can sense your restlessness from across the room."
"Sorry."
"Todd, no. I wanna help you. And i need to learn these lines anyway. Can I please do this for you?"
"Fine. Fine. I- Thank you. Really, Neil. Thank you."
And Neil will use his soft voice, his voice reserved for the smallest children at Welton and for animals and for shh, the squirrel will run off if it hears us. The voice reserved for midnight readings, for Todd.
And Todd will melt into his pillow, Neil's soft words, the melody of the scenes he's reading pulling his eyes closed, fatigue bleeding into every part of his being.
Neil won't read it perfectly, and Todd will still be anxious, but they're trying.
And Neil's voice will slowly fade, he'll misread things more often, take longer breaks between sentences because gosh, he's tired, but he won't stop until Todd's eyes are two fading moons, his eyelids fern on his cheeks.
Todd sleeps. And Neil smiles and crawls into bed and keeps himself from yawning the next day, because todd should never feel guilty about this.
And when these scenes come up in the play Neil's in, Todd is somehow able to mouth the lines along with him.
And they make him think of cold floorboards and warm blankets and a voice as gentle as honey.
good night, little poet <3

i love the snow scene so much. todd is so raw in that scene. the acting, the writing, the mood - i just love it, it perfectly portrays what it's meant to show.
anyone interested in a little analysis aka me just ranting about why that scene is so perfect?
