charlie dalton: maybe in another universe my best friend isn’t dead.

another universe…

the poets and the marauders, different world same heartbreak

[charlie-why-do-they-swoon]

Me and my 1950s default miis against the world

overheard someone say that lesbians don’t have male icons the way gay men have female icons…. baby you have not logged onto tumblr dot com. the lesbians are dedicating blogs to men who look like the default mii

why did this take me two hours someone confiscate my phone😭😭

[toddsmind-neilssoul]

Gathering the gems 🥺♥️

I'm hoping that we get to see more of the Dead Poets Society casts reunion <3 (all the poets gathering sounds like a dream)

charlie dalton is a big huge mama's boy.

is it because his dad seems inherently distant and he only hugged his mom in that one shot? is it bc he fights for his LIFE not to cry or show that he's scared in any capacity- (so why not make a joke out of it)

you tell me. but either way, you KNOW i'm right.

And like, why would they exclude THAT important and beautiful scene... or was it too corny? 😭

so the main carpe diem theme plays a few times throughout dead poets society. it's first introduced when knox goes to the danburry's house and sees chris for the first time, and again later when he bikes down to see her before the football game. it is ALSO used in the flying desk set scene with neil and todd which suggests a parallel in their relationships in this essay i will-
