anderperry headcanons cause the brainrot is real

their first kiss happened in their dorm late at night when Neil was gushing about acting and he was super happy and they were both really in the moment, and Todd just kissed him interrupting his talking, they were both kind of surprised and Neil gave an awkward laugh and said smiling “why did you do that?” And then Todd said “I don’t know” and then they kissed again, that time more passionate, and then they cuddled to sleep <3

Keating knew they liked each other, it was clear there was something more between them

if Neil can’t sleep, Todd recites poetry and it always helps

One time when Todd was talking about poetry, Neil said to him “you’re really passionate, you know that? I know you don’t always show it but I really like that about you”

For Christmas, Neil gave Todd a Walt Whitman book and in it he wrote “To my favourite poet” and Todd’s Christmas present to Neil was a book about the history of theatre and in it he wrote “To my puck”

and then the day arrives when todd can't remember what neil's voice sounded like, and the shirt he kept from him has long lost neil's scent and todd throws up and sobs, burying his face in neil's old school blazer, still hanging in their room with all its achievement pins, and todd desperately tries to find some last trace of neil in it, but he's gone, he's gone, he's gone

Neil: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

Todd: I wrote you a poem.

Neil, already crying: You did?

[your-stranger-halfblood-things]

Todd does this thing where he tapes small bits of his poetry onto Neil's grave to let him know that he's still thinking about him

anderperry hc alert! 🚨

todd is a super heavy sleeper, as in, sleeps like a baby and it takes everything in the UNIVERSE to get him up in the morning. he’s not that much of a morning person either, but he’ll still rise to the occasion if he has to.

meanwhile, neil is a lighter sleeper, if it’s loud enough, it’ll wake him up. he’s not much more of a morning person than todd is, but he still likes to smile and make sure everyone is okay.

uncle todd who drops his niece off (cause he gives such a girl dad/uncle vibe i’ll die on this hill) at school and oh surprise the teacher at the gate welcoming the kids is the prettiest man alive?

Super Specific AnderPerry Headcannons (will reblog or edit with more if i come up with them)

- Todd published a book filled with his poetry that did super well, and he got to move into a really nice home and live pretty comfortably because of it.

- Todd went back to school and became an english/poetry professor at a university when he was around 35. That’s what he did until he retired!

- Neil’s glasses that he wears when reading aren’t actually just reading glasses. They’re his real prescription glasses and he only wears them when he reads. (Also i know this is just how Robert’s eyes look but i hc that he also crosses his eyes to see when he doesn’t have his glasses on because i go cross eyed when i don’t have my glasses on and we’re literally the same person)

- Neil did become an actor after Welton. He was a pretty well known theatre actor and did pretty well for himself, but eventually when he wasn’t earning enough money, he got a job as the acting professor at the university Todd works at. He loved every second of that job and worked there until retirement. :) (he still did productions from time to time! He’d have the TA fill in for him while he was gone!)

- They got “married” around their late 20’s! They just bought the rings and only had a small get together at their house with just trusted friends and family, and it’s not official, but they don’t need a document or even a ring anyway. They’re married and they love each other and that’s what really matters. (They still had rings because rings are fun)

I could probably write an entire fanfiction about all my ideas of their life after Welton where they grow old together :) but I’m lazy💔

I was doing my skincare and I came up with this Anderperry headcanon!

I think Neil is not much of a skincare guy. Even though in fact, he's an actor, he's too busy here and there carpe diem seizing the day to care about his skin. I guess he only puts on sunscreen when he remembers (because Todd told him to)

Todd is not an expert, but he's better at it than Neil! He wears moisturiser & sunscreen every day! And when it's face mask time, he puts on his sheet mask, and Neil on the other side of his bed will ask, "Why are you covering your face?" And Todd will explain that it's a sheet mask, and it's good for your skin and everything, so then Todd asks if Neil wanted to try it, and Neil says yes.

And when it's time for clay mask, Todd tells Neil not to smiles too much once the mask gets dry, Neil says ok but then couple of minutes later he will crack a stupid jokes which made the two of them laugh and crack their mask which ended up leaving a mess on Todd's bed. Todd was a little upset but he loved it (because it was Neil)

After that night, Todd will always ask Neil to join him to do face mask together yay!

long train rides with anderperry r just todd reading through the 93485 books he packed just in case and neil sleeping on his shoulder

[taeggukxiie]

I think Todd probably got Neil something for Christmas. And maybe it was a Shakespeare book because he knew his father would've given him only medical books as a gift. And he wanted Neil to be happy so bad.

But they never could experience Christmas together, and now this period will always remind Todd of grief and guilt because he did nothing to help his dear friend. And maybe he kept the book he wanted to offer to Neil, and maybe he's reading it every damn Christmas because he feels like he's forgetting more and more about that boy.

That boy who had such an impact on him even if he knew him only for a few months, and Todd knows that he will never be able to thank him. So he reads Shakespeare to remember Neil’s voice because the last time he heard it, that voice was reciting Shakespeare as if it was the only language worthy of being recited.

So from now on, for Todd, Christmas is bitter but also accompanied by theater and acting, so he will never forget that boy with big brown eyes and childish laugh.

neil dying and his ghost popping up to see todd every so often telling him everything will be alright, hes still with him, just as a ghost

[nectarinesinthesun444]

headcanon where Todd’s Christmas present to Neil if he didn’t die was a poem written especially for him <33

[perksofbeingpoet]

most wretched angsty fic idea i've ever had? hmm.

neil and todd break up and drift apart after being in an unhealthy relationship. todd wants someone brave enough to be out and starts going to queer demonstrations etc., neil becomes a doctor and settles for a life he can control.

they meet again ten years later, when neil is the one to give todd his AIDS diagnosis.

[diemlizzie]

anderperry hcs??

is it embarrassing how fast I’m replying??? perchance.

okay so i think of todd fell first but neil fell so so much harder. i just think todd needs someone who’s an absolute wet blanket for him and would do literally anything for him and for me neil is that GUY. like i need neil to be positively fawning over todd like there’s no tomorrow.

also also i think they’re the definition of idiots in love. where they’re both so into each other it’s sickening. But somehow they still don’t realise it and make all the other poets SICK.

also i think todd is the type to be hella oblivious … like neil could ask him out or confess his love and todd would accidentally friendzone him repeatedly….

what about you ? What are your hcs ?

anderperry: if they went on a picnic

- todd makes tea sandwiches

- neil reads dramatic love sonnets by shakespeare to todd while eating (i can just imagine him trying to be romantic while his mouth is stuffed with food)

- they like playing around will kinda wrestle with each other (gently which usually ends up in kissing)

- todd plans out everything and gets candles to ~set the mood~ even if its not dark out

- neil likes to feed todd all the food he made as a way of showing his affection

- todd will bring iced teas for him and neil (he really likes making unique types of iced teas usually he likes to do chamomile tea for the two of them)

- neil is a sucker for anything sweet so he will pack fruits specifically strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, and cherries.

- the picnic blanket they would use is definitely a dark green plaid and NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE

- neil will also bring secret poems he has written for todd and will read them to him in the most dramatic way possible. (since obviously our boy is an amazing actor and loves to be dramatic 💁‍♂️)

anderperry headcannons?

THEY LOVE HOLDING HANDS!!

all of their dates are pretty calm, like theyll go for a nice walk or feed ducks or something

kinda modern one? Todd really wants to play Minecraft with Neil but Neils attention span is WAYY too short and he can barely play Minecraft for more than 15 minutes

Neil has a sweet tooth and always shares chocolate and candy with Todd

Todd always helps Neil practice his lines whenever he gets a role in a play

they give each other lots of gifts, even if its little things that reminded one of the other

Neil likes ruffling and messing up Todds hair

they love chasing each other around in their dorm like in that one scene

Neil gets hyper when hes excited so he sometimes needs to like.. kinda shake Todd around or hug him really tight to let out some energy
