Spoiler alert: you can't cause I'm right

todd anderson head cannons because i adore him :,)

also note im relatively new to the fandom (and tumblr in general) so if this is all stuff you've heard before i apologize aksjhakjds but you all seem really cool and im happy to be here! so have these

i don’t think todd would just stop at poetry, but maybe divulge into other areas of art! This results in soft pastel sunrises, watercolor paintings, sketches of the moon, etc. whenever neil sees one in their dorm he gets really proud and asks to hang it on the walls. charlie plays like a bazillion instruments so todd eventually asks them to teach him acoustic guitar!

trans guy todd. just like. idk maybe i'm projecting a bit but trans guy todd>>>

can be shy when it comes to showing affection outright, so he has a tendency to make little gifts for the poets to show how much he cares. this includes little things like chocolate-chip cookies to celebrate, and he likes to write little notes or make bookmarks and draw little illustrations for the poets whenever theyre sad (or just whenever he feels like it). if he finds cool flowers or rocks or whatever that remind him of a certain poet, he’ll randomly present the person with it, but gets super flustered if they keep thanking him for it or get excessively happy (as they tend to), so oftentimes he just leaves the gift in random places he knows the person will find it, like on a pillow or shelf. queue one of the guys walking in their dorm to random shiny rocks all on the windowsill and being like “?!?!?!??!”

canNOT cook at all but is an expert at making fancy teas and coffees. a poet will be sad and todd just shows up out of nowhere with a spectacular honey oat milk latte, perfectly frothed espresso lungo, or matcha green tea. no one knows how he does it but they're not about to complain

music-wise todd totally likes elliott smith + sufjan stevens and is a hUGE cavetown stan!! a lot of the time he chooses music for it’s lyrics/emotional connection and not just how it sounds (though he likes indie/alt/lofi a lot musically because it’s comforting), so his music taste can seem pretty diverse. also some slightly older stuff, like bowie and the smiths (fuck morrissey though). todd and meeks have similar taste in music and end up sharing a lot of artists w each other

to help distract todd from his anxiety in some settings, the poets allow him to doodle on their skin !! he adores making little pictures and drawings that calm him down and remind him of whoever he’s drawing on, and the poets love seeing the doodles afterwards.

i don’t think Welton would allow the students to have too much decorating freedom, so after he graduates Todd makes it a priority to express his dorm/room however he wants! it ends up being different shades of greens, browns, and other earthy colors, with subtle candles, artwork/literature all over the walls, and probably plants. also absolutely has a little record collection + player, stacks of books everywhere, and quite possibly crystals

actually i think a little bit of wiccan!todd would be very satisfying like,,, burning incense and charging his crystals because he finds it calming. he'll be doing his little witchy rituals and neil will just be watching like "i dont really know what's going on but he's very cute and i'll be supportive regardless"

Sometimes I remember that Neil isn't canonically trans and I get sad
