dead poets society driving headcanons but they're all terrible drivers

(and if they also all lived somewhere with similar roads to where i learned how to drive bc i can be more specific that way. also im not a car guy so all the cars are from real people i've met)

inspired by me learning to drive and being bad at it

neil: drives a stick shift and isn't very good at it. he saved up money working to buy a shitty corolla from probably just some guy and was like yeah i can totally drive a stick lol how hard can it be when asked about that. the guy was like uhh probably pretty hard standard shift is famously not easy to learn. and he was like itll be fine dont worry about it. every time he switches gears it feels like the car is falling apart. he has gotten stuck trying to start the car stopped on a slight uphill incline for like 10 minutes multiple times. half the time when he starts the car he does it way too fast, and he constantly kills it when coming to a full stop. he once flipped his car over when going down a windy road. he is very attached to his car despite this, named it something like gertrude. its constantly full of shit and has a ton of doodads hanging from the rearview mirror

todd: will not drive above 25 mph unless he absolutely has to when around other cars. always takes backroads if he can because he is terrified of the freeway. hell drive at the speed limit on the highway but is gripping the steering wheel for his life the whole time. at the same time drives mountain roads where theres no cars at full speed. goes through windy roads barely braking. scares the shit out of everyone in the car. never comes close to crashing despite everyone thinking they're gonna die. he drives a tiny hatchback that probably used to belong to jeff. hes the only one trusted with neils car despite not knowing how to drive stick

charlie: constantly driving over the speed limit, not looking where hes going, blasting music so loud you cant think. hes always like. i dont understand why everyone is scared to drive with me lolll and then goes 90 in a 25. for some reason. his parents bought him a jeep gladiator

knox: knox is constantly getting lost. has absoutely no sense of direction. will get lost on roads he has been on his whole life. he also forgets to use his turn signal constantly. insists on never looking at a map despite having no clue where he is for as long as possible. it is infuriating to everyone else in the car.

cam: drives a mini van. would be a decent driver if he knew how to come to a gradual stop. unfortunately he just slams the brakes like 75% of the time. he drives with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes which does not help. he is usually the main one driving the poets places when they're in a group since he has the most seats. when they have more than 7 someone always wants to sit in the trunk, which cam is vehemently against. he's generally just very tense while driving.

pitts + meeks: pitts drives an old truck, a smaller one that only has jump seats in the back. meeks doesnt have a license so pitts drives him everywhere. because of this if anyone wants pitts to drive them anywhere they either have to take the jump seat or sit in the bed cause meeks automatically gets the passenger seat. as far as everything else goes pitts is ok ish at driving, if kind of jerky, it mostly just sucks to get a ride from him cause he doesn't really have any room. meeks doesn't really want to get a license for several reasons and since he is conveniently always with pitts he has decided he just won't for as long as possible. ideally he never will, and will just use public transit if pitts isn't there.

“You are not them,” Jean said. “Kevin would not have sent me here if you were.”

Jeremy was quiet for so long Jean finally had to look at him. He wasn’t sure what to make of the look on the other man’s face. It wasn’t wounded, but there was still an undercurrent of pain. Jean didn’t know how to interpret it; no Raven had ever looked so gutted. He tipped his head in silent question, but Jeremy only looked away.

When I read this part I figured it couldn't be guilt that Jeremy was feeling because Jean has seen Kevin look guilty plenty of times. The way people look at him when he's hurt is usually "uncomfortable" (Zane), "tired" (Thea), or with "bottomless guilt" (Kevin). Neil, Wymack, and Renee get angry but they aren't shocked at all because they're so used to seeing violence and abuse.

So what would be new to Jean would be the reaction of someone who isn't desensitized to that kind of abuse. The pain in Jeremy's expression is unfamiliar because this level of cruelty is shocking and heartbreaking to him in a way that it isn't to anyone else in Jean's life. Or at least that was my first impression.

I'm not 100% sure about that, but Jeremy's happy reaction to being trusted in other parts of the book makes me think it probably isn't guilt:

“You are the captain of the sunshine court. In no universe could you be anyone’s villain.”

That unhesitating trust warmed him all the way through, but all Jeremy said was, “Technically it’s the Gold Court.”

But apparently I interpreted this in a completely different way than everyone else seems to be taking it so I have to ask:

what time period accurate songs do you think jeremy would be listening to in tsc? 👀

Miss California by Dante Thomas

Anon I love you so much because you have no idea how much I ask this to myself on a regular basis. A couple weeks ago I was walking to work whilst brainstorming Jeremy Knox music headcanons and almost died to the tune of Believe by Cher while crossing the street. (Embarrassing, but also, what a way to go)

after changing my mind about 700 times, I decided that Jeremy, at least on a surface level, will dance/sing to literally any popular song with a good beat, (whether or not he actually sings the right lyrics is always 50/50) but he does love to sing. This comes from a tumblr post I saw like years ago saying that Jean takes a video of Jeremy singing Kylie Minogue’s “Your Disco Needs You” at 3am, and now that’s just canon Jeremy to me.

Jeremy was a kid in the 90s so TONS of 90s nostalgia stuff, all upbeat. Song 2, All star, What is love, Baby one more time, Tubthumping, all the catchy earworms he would hear on the radio and belt out as a kid. (It’s @kevinsdsy’s fault song 2 was the first on this list. The Jeremy Knox blur brainrot is real)

Jeremy, having heard these songs as a kid, knows all the lyrics just by memory. Even he doesn’t know about this until Cat plays Ricky Martin on her boombox and all of a sudden Jer is on the table with a solo cup microphone.

(“isn’t he only attracted to men?”Jean whispers to Cat as they watch Jeremy belt out ‘She Bangs’ in the most enthusiastic way possible.

“Honestly, l didn’t even think about that. I’m just pissed that they’re only playing the English version”, Cat whispers back)

Jeremy is also notorious for dancing to other team’s entrance songs when they walk on the court. The Breckenridge Jackals, for example, walk on court to Who Let the Dogs out, and Jer unironically uses that as pump up music. He aggressively nods his head to the beat of Let’s Get it Started when Penn State walks out. This leads to many (many) YouTube compilations titled something along the lines of “10 mins straight of Jeremy Knox shaking ass to his opponent’s anthems”

BUT also, privately, on his little 2006 iPod Mini (lol remember those), Jeremy listens to more alt rock (modern-day dad rock), like Muse, The Killers, Queens of The Stone Age etc… (this is based on a lighter version of the style of music Nora assigned to Andreil in the EC, and also my personal taste from that time period). I think it’s what he listens to on bad days, either bc he needs to drown out his depressing thoughts after seeing his family, or bc he isn’t quite mentally ready to fully process the insane truths Jean reveals on a day to day basis. Also days where he’s feeling more in-tune with his emotions and stuff.

anyway, I’m sorry, this got really long. I guess the tl;dr would be: imo, In TSC Jeremy loves to sing and dance to literally any popular 90s/early 00’s song bc that’s just who he is but privately on bad days he likes 2000’s alt rock.

Heads up might be reposting the final wobbly hearts chapter just cause i really wanted it to be posted on the fifteenth so it was a full year since the publish date but the completed date says the 13th and it’s driving me bonkers out of my mind, so I’ll do that later tonight methinks

Doubling the movie's budget really gives you good sets.

I love being awake at a stupidly late time (almost 4am) and seeing my insomniac friend is also online. Like hey bestie how're you! 🥰

[sizzy-ling]

It's here!! The much awaited 3rd chapter is ready for you to read! Let me know your thoughts and feelings with a review!!

[everyonesadoptivedad]

I have this idea about

Jeremy's family having a cabin in the woods or something, and despite looking like a city raised jock, he's got the country boy soul. His idk uncle used to live on a farm and Jeremy would go there a few weeks every summer and show him so many things about the outdoors and all (and his uncle's dog was his best friend?)

And at some point he invites the floozies to his family cabin and-

Jeremy turns out to be a seasoned four-wheeler driver? And he emerges from the garage on the atv (with a lil backwards cap) like "Jean! I'll show you around! You've never been on one of those, right? It's simple, just lean forward when we're going uphill and back when we're going downhill, got it?"

But Jeremy did not think this through and he almost regrets when he feels Jean sit behind him and wrap his arms around his middle. And when he feels Jean's breath in his neck when he moves closer. And when Jean tells him that he's never smelled the pines before and that he likes it. And when Jeremy's cap almost flies off so Jean adjusts it for him-

Okay i stop here before they make out in the woods

regretfully informing you all that I am very much a Cameron apologist

Literally fucking no one:

Me: ok but Proxy by Alex London and Detroit: Become Human are so thematically and structurally similar that putting the cast of one in the other changes both nothing and absolutely everything. Think about the fucking ramifications I am fucking begging you holy shit. There’s so much potential, my brain is exploding
