dead poets' society modern(ish) headcanons

Most of these are school related because I'm going back to college next week. (most of these are things my friends or I have done.)

Todd:

 has definitely written fanfiction for his creative writing assignments in English.

definitely has a semi-popular poetry account on TikTok/tumblr

Enters his poetry/writing into competitions and stuff when he gets a little bit more confident 

Loved by the dinner ladies

Eats the most heinous food combinations like beacon and fish finger sandwiches, just the most questionable foods. 

Neil:

Has  walked into the set during a show because he  had to perform without his glasses.

His drama teacher's favourite student.

Most popular boy in the class

On the school newspaper 

Kissed Todd for the first time during the intermission of one of his plays and was so flustered after he almost missed his cue.

Charlie:

Banned from the library 

Ran against Cameron for school council/class president (they tied.)  

Him and Cameron actively hate each other but outright refuse to be separated from each other.

Has been kicked out of Assembly multiple times.

Music is his best subject

Banned from giving people dares in truth or dare

Cameron

Debate team captain

On the track team

The kid teachers sit bad students next to, in hopes they behave.

He was sat next to Charlie in every lesson in year nine  for that exact reason.

This quickly changed when Charlie started to influence Cameron instead of the other way round.

Goes to homework club.

Meeks

Almost flooded his bathroom after trying to see if he could  use oil to plug his sink.

Can’t swim but can hold his breath underwater for 2 minutes 

Hates sand

Taught himself and Pitts morse code.

Gets really competitive during kahoot

Loves halloween, plans his and Pitts duo costumes months in advance.

Pitts 

Freakishly good at table tennis

Can solve a rubix cube in under a minute

Top set for science 

Double jointed

Always being asked to help teachers get things because he's the  tallest in his year.

Terrible at Geography, like could not locate Canada on a map to save his life.

Knox 

Broke his arm doing a cartwheel for a dare.

Can’t tell the difference between admiration and romantic interest for the life of him 

Fully had a crush on Charlie in year ten but just thought he REALLY wanted to be his friend.

Plays football

He tried out   for rugby to impress Chris, it did NOT go well.

Gets detention for riding his bike to school without a helmet.

leave a ship or fandom suggestions and I’ll do headcanons for them if you want :)

anderperry and their daughter <3

todd and neil would be such girl dads and heres how i imagine their daughter would be:

shes probably a complete diva, and has an entire princess dress collection (neil and todd are both suckers for their daughter and can never say no to her)

shes a very kind and gentle person, even though shes extremely spoiled she always takes other ppls feelings into account and loves to share

this girl LOVES LOVES LOVES little insects and loves to look at them and play around in the mud. but, to neil and todds horror, she keeps going outside to look at the ants and worms with her princess dresses on. todd loves going out with her though, he went looking for frogspawn (? im not sure if its called that in dutch we call it 'kikkerdril') with her once.

every night before bed neil will read her a bedtime story in his 'actor voice' as she likes to call it. basically meaning he does silly voices for all the characters

she lovesss bake as well! but todd and neil both arent very good at it :( its okay though bc at least they all have fun together and afterwards theyll just go buy cupcakes at the store!

GRAAHHH LMK IF U GUYS WANT A PART TWO W ALL HER UNCLES (the other poets) AND HER GODFATHER (keating) ALSO WHAT WOULD ANDERPERRY NAME THEIR DAUGHTER ?????

[yourfavvgal]

october is where the boys go out walking, throwing leaves at each other, buying halloween costumes, charlie stuffing fake vampire teeth in his mouth, eating sweets and chocolate in the middle of the night under blankets, the smell of a pumpkin candle while todd writes and writes and writes

[boypuncher45]

When it comes to Charlie and Cameron, I like to think they had a situationship in their 20s that was rlly tumultuous and ended in flames. They stopped talking after the breakup, and Charlie is still bitter about how it ended years later. When Heat Of The Moment - Asia came out in 82', Charlie heard the song and had a monumental crashout over Cameron.

They never reconsile btw. I just want you to know that. They spend the rest of time simultaneously resenting and missing each other...just btw.

Rejection is hard to handle. Especially when it’s not explicitly said, and Meeks had understood it really well. There was this constant lingering bittersweet feeling in the pit of his stomach. And he was good at pretending he was fine. When he learned you were dating someone, he didn’t show any sign of hurt, he even managed a smile, because pretending for you was worth it. As long as you were happy, it was worth it.

So he kept pretending. He managed to act interested when you told him about your first kiss, he hid his frustration, his clenched fist under the desk. He managed to give you a real suggestion when you asked what gift you should get your partner for your four-month anniversary. But he couldn’t pretend he was fine when you were crying curled up against his chest.

“It’s alright…” he kept whispering in your ear. He was clueless about what was going on. All you did was knock at his door with a face full of tears and falling into arms as the name of your partner escaped your lips in a sob. Has he ever seen you like this? Maybe once before a chemistry exam but he could not think of another single time you cried. You were always so positive about everything, a little ray of sunshine, the kind of person who enters a room and makes everyone smile.

His curiosity was piqued. What did your partner do to have you in such a state? God, how much he wanted to know. But he was resting the questions urging to slip past the tip of his tongue, for you. He let his own mind ruminate with the most absurd ideas until you were finally calm.

And as he kept trying to figure it out, he remembered. He remembered when he walked into your dorm without knocking and saw your red and puffy eyes. But he also remembered how you shrugged it off and said you had a bad grade in maths. He tried to think of it but you had A and A+ all year long. You lied. And he frowned. You never lied.

What happened?

When you were finally able to breathe without bursting into tears, he asked the question “What’s going on?” he asked softly, he tried to hide his curiosity that could come off as displaced in this situation. With the sleeve of his jumper he dried the tear remaining in the corner of your left eye.

You let out a hitched breath and snuggled closer to him, seeking solace and warmth “Drew… they… I fucked up,” you said, trying not to let out another sob.

Meeks’ eyebrows knitted together. You never fucked up. You were you. Everything he could dream of and everything he wanted. “I’m pretty sure you didn’t.”

“I did!” You said as another tear fell down your face, forming a wet patch on my uniform’s trousers. “They dumped me and it’s all my fault.” You were back to crying in Stephen’s neck again.

His arms tightened around your waist. He tried to ignore the part of his heart that was relieved and happy you were back to being single. He felt horrible for thinking such a thing. Meeks focused back on you and tried to make you feel better “Tell me what happened…”

You stayed silent for a minute. “I gave them the gifts for our four-month anniversary, the vinyl record and the love letter as you told me. And Drew said- they said-” As you started to sob again, Stephen rubbed your back with a circular motion “They said it was too much and that I loved them too much and it was wrong of me.”

Meeks frowned again “It wasn’t wrong of you.”

“It was,” you immediately answered “They’re right I’m just all too much and I shouldn’t have given them so many things during our relationship. It’s all my fault.”

He couldn’t grasp why you were blaming yourself for this. “But… they kept everything… right?”

You nodded “Yes, and asked for other gifts too…” 

Meeks was now confused. Drew was asking you for gifts but blaming you for giving them? It didn’t make any sense “Wait, wait- what do you mean?” he asked as he tilted his head and pushed his glasses back on the bridge of his nose.

“Drew said it was a test and I failed it and I was too stupid to believe they were being honest,” you said quietly, Meeks’ touch smoothing you “They said this once or twice already and I managed to get them back but now I think it’s done.”

Stephen froze. That didn’t sound good at all. “You.. got them back…?”

You nodded as you sniffled “Yes… I begged and they stayed if I did what they wanted but now it’s over” He stayed silent. He couldn’t believe it. It didn’t seem healthy at all and he started to worry for you. He didn’t manage to hide his surprise, begging for someone? It didn’t look like you. His worry grew as you kept opening up “But Drew’s right I’m just all too dumb and shouldn’t believe them.”

“Hey-” he immediately said, tilting your head by grabbing your chin between his fingers “don’t say that. You’re far from dumb and if you ask me it sounds like they took advantage of you.” 

You shook your head, tears spilling out of your eyes “No- no- they loved me and taught me a lesson. I just loved them too much.”

He made sure you looked him in the eyes. He was good at school, considered a genius, but he was awkward when it came to feelings. He didn’t even know how you managed not to see he was head over heels for you, his stuttering and blushing gave it away to everyone– but you, apparently. But for you he tried to put every single feeling into an understandable thought, he wanted you to know how incredible you were. How dared anyone make you feel this way?

“That’s not true,” he said, a bit more harshly than intended, “if they loved you they wouldn’t have you beg for them to stay. And you’re not dumb for loving them and showing it. They just aren’t made for you. They broke you to make you dependent on them to get what they wanted.” 

You pressed the palms of your hands to your eyes, a headache starting to cloud your mind. It was hard to think when you were this upset but you started to realise he was right “But they’re right… I’m way too much-”

Stephen cut you “No- no- you’re not too much. They manipulated you to break your self confidence and make sure you stuck to them. You’re not too much, at all.”

“But I understand why they wouldn’t love me-”

He stopped you once again “They have no reason not to love you. Everyone loves you just the way you are. Don’t think so lowly of yourself. You’re everything I can ever dream of. And if Drew doesn’t love you, then screw them. I love you. Even when you’re ‘too much’, because it shows you care.”

You stared at him, mouth ajar. Your eyes, wet from your previous tears, were glistening from emotions “Really?” you asked in a broken voice.

“Really,” he said with a reassuring smile. He hugged you closer to him, he wanted to make you feel better “I really love you and I wasn’t great at hiding and I kept silent because you were happy but… I want you to know now. Because you deserve to know how incredible and easy to love you are.” He tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear.

You leaned into his touch “I’m so glad you’re here,” you whispered.

He offered you a small smile, his usually pale cheeks slightly pink. “I just want you to be happy. Don’t let Drew get through your mind.”

You let out a small sigh, resting your head against Stephen’s chest “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he muttered, “I’m happy as long as you are.”

My headcanons for the middle names of the dead poets boys:

Neil W. Perry - William or Wilbur

Todd A. Anderson - Aaron

Charlie B. Dalton - Barrett or Benjamin

Stephen/Steven K.C. Meeks - Casey

Gerard J. Pitts - Joseph

Richard S. Cameron - Scott

Knox T. Overstreet - Theodore

[churrosbitxh]

I think Todd is the type of guy who bails to wear the costume last minute before Trick or Treat or not going all

Or he just drapes fabric on top saying he's just a ghost because he doesn't want to show his blushing face

But actually he had his costume made perfectly weeks before he was just too shy to wear them

And he has some unworn costumes in his closet

He never wore them but kept making one every Halloween

And he kinda confesses that to Neil

And of course Neil encourages Todd should wear one for this year

And Todd tells him he's too old for that now

But Neil makes all the boys make their own scrappy costume and they go trick or treating for Todd

It's going to be so fucking adorable...

I just wanted to see Todd wearing a pirate costume that's all...🥹

[smth-intheway]

This supposed to be a headcanon not an actual canon. 😭😭 (this generator is an actual DPS fan you can’t prove me wrong. Btw the Neil’s one hit differently)

[littleprincefan]

hc that one year when the poets were younger cameron and charlie got Really into chess for some unknown reason and would spend hours playing against each other

charlie turned out to be Really good at it and would seemingly win with no strategy (which drove cameron up the walls) and they would argue over the board constantly

they had a paper on their dorm wall counting their wins and it would always be super close

they tried to teach the other four how to play it so they could host a tournament but only meeks got as interested as they were (neil didnt have the attention span, knox found it super boring and pitts found it too easy so he didn't bother)

this obsession stopped when hager banned chess in their year after a match got somehow too intense and ended up with them breaking a lamp in the common room after the board got flung across the room (knox got hit in the head by the queen piece and neil found it the funniest thing)

[remusbutfemale]

Dps hcs again!!

I have a feeling Todd would forget to add water to noodles in microwave and it just explodes

——

Neil ate rocks when he was a kid

——

Stevens mom would put his hair into pigtails and stuff when he was younger because he refused to cut it and she wanted to embarrass him

——

Gerard has peanuts in his pockets sometimes, he eats them in class when he’s hungry, he hasn’t been caught but the teachers are always like “what’s that sound” and it’s him

——

Richard got chased by a dog, like 5 times. It’s always the same dog

——

Knox is just Knox I ain’t got shit to say about him

[bluemirrorangel]

Dead poets' society ship headcanons dates + first kisses

I hope you enjoy these, leave a ship or fandom suggestions and I’ll do headcanons for them if you want :) 

Mitts: 

The aquarium to hold starfish.

They go on walks together in town and try to find the coolest/strangest shop

Their first kiss was on the roof; it was  just past midnight and they’d been stargazing because they couldn’t sleep and Meeks was halfway through their bedroom window when Pitts said his name to get his attention, he’d intended to kiss Meeks on the cheek but Meeks turned around too fast so they ended up kissing properly sort of, Pitts wasn’t angled right so he kissed the corner of his mouth and Meek’s glasses dig into his cheeks but they still look back on it fondly.

knarlie:

The arcade

Laser tag 

Anything where they can compete against each other

Fun fairs and carnivals, they waste most of their money trying to win each other things.

go to haunted houses and try to freak each other out but end up scaring themselves.

I feel like their first kiss was Kat and Patricks from 10 Things I hate about you, the one at the paintball place.

Anderperry:

 The library 

They take turns picking out books that remind them of each other.

They spend a horrific amount of time at the cinema.

They took a road trip to the beach one summer; they were only there for a day and it rained the whole time but they managed to find pretty rocks that matched each other's eyes in the rock pool so it’s still one of Todd’s most treasured memories.

Started doing forehead and cheek kisses as a “joke” mainly in the morning or before bed.

Their first real kiss happens after Todd gets off the phone with his parents, they spent the entire call bragging about Jeffery and didn’t ask a single question about Todd even though they hadn’t seen him since he started. Todd was visibly hurt and on the verge of tears, he was spiralling saying that he felt like nothing and no one cared about him. Neil had held him while he cried and tried to tell him otherwise but Todd was single-minded.

   He hadn’t meant to kiss him, not then but he needed Todd to understand, to get it. It was short and gentle more of a comfort than a kiss, they’d fallen asleep soon after that tangled in each other and completely at peace.

Chameron: 

Late night study sessions in their dorm

Cameron’s up late studying for a test and Charlie’s wide awake playing the saxophone or bongos on his side of the room,  he’s obviously trying to be annoying but Cameron has long since gotten used to Charlies 'shenanigans’ and honestly just appreciates the company.

Late night conversations; Cameron’s bone tired and trying to sleep but Charlie won’t let him, bombarding him with random ‘what if?’ questions and possibly fabricated ‘fun facts’ usually ending with  Cameron ignoring him or Charlie falling asleep to Cameron’s hushed complaints.

Their first kiss was a dare or some other kind of game forfeit

It’s harsh and rushed, Charlie grabbing Cameron by the tie or the lapel of his blazer and crashing their mouths together to silence the other poet's accusations of him being a coward

It’s more teeth than lips and over in less than ten seconds.

Charlie makes a big show of wiping his mouth, triumph outweighing disgust and Cameron sits there completely frozen, face as red as his hair the surprised voices of the other poets drowned out by the blood rushing in his ears.

Cameron is different after that; less annoyed by Charlie's behaviour and more open to his late-night conversations, sharing his opinion more openly and even asking a few of his own.

And for the first time they fall asleep facing each other. 

[sophiejanefostersilver]

One of my favourite headcanons about the poets is that they let their hair grow long, but if they were girls they would cut it short

Its kinda me and my brother, so maybe thats one reason why

[yourfavvgal]

the poets but if they did a primary school nativity

- - - -

neil: probably like the star. he’d be smiling the entire play, waiting for his part and just giving it his all and doing the best he can - with a massive grin!

charlie: probably joseph or something like that. swinging the baby by the ankle and accidentally throwing it off the stage - not the best parent to the doll :’))

todd: an angel. probably hiding in the back with his angel halo. only having one sentence to say the whole nativity but he doesnt mind!

knox: wise man. probably trips over onto the stage and drops the present and has to pick it up again. probably forgets his lines but still does alright :’))

meeks: a shepherd!! he’s great at his role and carries a stuffed sheep onto the stage and actually does really well - recites all his lines well.

pitts: THE DONKEY. he’d be fully suited up in a donkey costume and only the word ‘neigh’ 😔 BUT DONT GET ME WRONG HE WOULD BE A GREAT DONKEY!!

cameron: door #3. no comment.

mr keating: encouraging parent who tells everyone “THATS MY SON” (about neil) waving and taking loads of pictures of him :’))
