10. the poet and the pragmatist (there was happiness because of you) by rubylaurus - Its a McKeating fic and I never thought I'd be so attached to these idiots. Its a WIP and the only reason it is being added here, at 1 am is because I've been reading it from like 7pm. Gonna tell my kids this is The Maurauders.

MY FAVOURITE DPS FICS (in the order they appear on my bookmarks)

Dog Days are Over by rubylaurus - Mordern AU where Neil is a successful actor and Todd is a intern writer for his show. It's adorable with a little bit of ambiguity in the end.

lick me like a flame by perksofbeingpoet - ANGST SO MUCH ANGST. THE BEST ANGST I'VE SEEN.

Let Me Wallow in Your Afterglow by Glittery_Bubbles - This could easily be the script of the 2nd movie if Neil hadn't died. LOVED the characterization and Keating's lessons.

I Read You for Some Kind of Poem by Glittery_Bubbles - A WIP but ADDICTED hello??? Like so sad, so so sad. Cry bitches

True Blue by PureCacophony - Another WIP which is updates pretty periodically. Very fluffy, very adorable. Mordern AU. Extremely well written. Mwah

I Crawl, an Animal to You by dirtbag_dyke - Amazing Characterization, it has smut.

how it is, how it was (how it has to be) by perksofbeingpoet - TEARS. ANDERPERRY BREAKUP. Phone call rituals. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Volta by suffragettecity - Neil meets Todd after med school.

White Walls and Blurry Eyes by lightswechase - four words - crown tattoo, ring finger

This movie changed my live <3

[sweaty-toothed-mad-woman]

I noticed something in dps

in film class last year they taught us that when shooting dialogue you show connections by putting the back of someone in the shot or smth i don’t really remember BUT

in the “I’m trapped” scene when Neil is telling Mr Keating about how his dad won’t let him act it shows Mr K, therefore showing that Neil feels like Mr Keating really understands

but right after Me Keating says that Neil should tell his father it no longer shows them together in the shot because Neil feels alone again, because he realizes that Mr K doesn’t fully understand his plight

so now I’m crying

thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Sorry I lied there’s nothing gay about Dead Poets Society. They’re just two straight best friends. No you don’t need to ban it. I was just playing before. There’s no queercoding. I made it all up. You don’t need to censor it. I promise bro. It’s just a nice conservative movie about heterosexual male friendship. I swear bro. Walt Whitman? No, I don’t know him. Never heard of him. Sounds like a nice heterosexual fellow to me. Nothing queer going on here. Anti-establishment? I don’t know what you mean. There’s nothing anti-establishment here. The progressive teacher got fired in the end, remember? If anything it’s pro-establishment. No, no, I swear. It’s practically republican propaganda. I swear bro. You don’t need to ban it. C’mon man. Let’s be reasonable. There’s no need to be hasty. The theater kid died, remember? Remember? There’s nothing to worry about bro. I swear on my life bro. You don’t need to ban it bro I swear.
