The Poet and the Pragmatist

John Keating/George McAllister aka the most tragic crack ship you’ll ever read about.

Has been described in the past as Marauders meets Maurice, so basically the happiest piece of literature you’ll ever read :)

thinking about richard cameron and literally near tears.

the other poets don’t (at least i chose to believe for my own mental health) intentionally leave him out. i just think when your in a big group like that it’s easy to get left out.

what that thing? “there’s always a duo within a trio”?

i don’t think they leave him out or push him aside on purpose. i just think including cameron, who’s a bit odd, a bit of a kiss ass, isn’t on the top of their priority list.

And to add on to that— i don’t think cameron puts himself on the outskirts bc be thinks himself better. i think if you really watch the movie critically you see him wanting to be included at every turn.

he goofs off with the boys at dinner, he goes to the meetings even though he thinks them dangerous, he helps them study (idk about you but i have NEVER helped someone i didn’t like study..)

the poets don’t intentionally leave him out but they don’t make concentrated effort to bring him in. it’s no wonder when the group he’s never felt fully a part of disintegrates, he’s the first person to offer a tell all.

he wasn’t a terrible person plotting against them from the beginning. he was a 17 year old kid looking for approval from his peers.

he wanted what we all want, community, and i think it’s exponentially tragic that he never got it.

sorry but this is such sad-bait to me like no actually i think even if todd outlived the rest of the poets he was never alone again i think he learned exactly how to build connections and love and he was surrounded by friends and family and was soooo happy

cameron’s excited little thumbs up here is very dear to me

My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.

I once lived a peaceful life with simple dreams, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war tore through Gaza. I had to flee my home, leaving behind everything I knew, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.

The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.

I live in constant fear of judgment and violence. On top of this, I face extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.

Life has become a daily fight for survival.

Dear LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters around the world, I turn to you in my time of desperate need. I have no one else to ask for help. The world around me looks at me with disgust, and I can no longer bear this life. I am exhausted, broken, and alone. Please, I beg you, help me leave this place and find safety, dignity, and a chance to live as myself. I cannot survive here any longer. Your support is my only hope.

Every day, I fear for my life. But I refuse to give up. I want to live. Please, your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter how small, gives me hope for a better tomorrow.

Please Take Action Now‼️

GFM Donations Link Here 🍉🇵🇸

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I rewatched Dead Poets Society a few weeks ago and felt inspired to write this contrapuntal poem :)

house works because it’s the most divorced show of all time. every characters main personality trait is “divorced” even if they’ve never been married. every relationship dynamic between any two characters is “divorced”. house and wilson are just the only two who ever remarry

something uniquely tragic about the death of a confidant. there was so little left unsaid between us. no matter the issue, i could turn to you. now i would like to talk to you about how i feel over losing you, and ask you what it was like to die, and yet both are impossible.

breaking my silence: i think a lot of anderperry angst mischaracterizes them so badly it’s impossible to take seriously or enjoy. neil in particular is almost always made into some raging asshole for… some reason? and it makes him so unrecognizable it’s almost insulting to his character
