#todd anderson’s mom

[everythingisawayoflife]

hey fun dead poets fact thats actually fun and not utterly depressing! the same woman who plays todd’s mom (we see her very briefly at the beginning and the end), her name is debra mooney and she has been in many things from scandal to fresh prince of bel air, among others. among her crowning achievements is the portrayal of THIS ICON

just a little something to improve your day if it needs improving okay bye for now im gonna hyperfixate on the sonic movies and i might finish charlie’s chapter of down for the count who knows!

What if after Neil's death in Dead Poets Society, Todd starts waking up in different time periods? It doesn't matter if it's a year later or many years down the line Todd always finds himself living a life he knows nothing about until he's used to it. Somehow, Neil Perry is always around, whether they are acquaintances, already friends, or in a relationship. Todd never gets to live a full life, sometimes he’ll grows old with Neil, whether as friends or not, but he always wakes up somewhere else at any age, carrying the memories from these different lives with him.

AHHH IT CAME!!!! MY DEAD POETS SOCIETY COLLECTION GROWS!!!

[ash5monster01]

nothing is funnier to me than the fact this is two completely different movies and two different poets, and yet the stance is the same

[pencileraser1]

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.

watching dead poets society with my mother and i cant make a single queercoded analysis this must be hell

[dailytraingirl]

my roman empire is “nothing compares to the fever dream” because literally nothing does

imagine yeah sure todd finally finds someone else who understands him after neils death and they date and maybe get married but todd knows that nothing compares to what he could have had with neil

its like at the end of titanic. jack dies and rose goes on to have a whole life where she gets married and has lots of grandchildren. but then when she dies, she returns to that ship with jack, not her husband or any of her children or grandchildren. like they only knew each other for a brief time but that time meant so much to them that they cant imagine anything else.

the part in the anderperry dock deleted scene where neil's like "oh btw there's girls, the girl who plays hermia's amazing" is so fucking funny. 1) todd's gay 2) you're gay 3) "the girl who plays hermia" has a name and is also very gay. and none of you even fully know it <- me speaking to the characters through my screen

[toddtakefive]

btw todd’s reluctance to join the dps because he doesn’t want to read (which is then accommodated for) and is scared to put himself out there (which is also worked through) being read as todd not wanting to go AT ALL, and thus neil making the proper accommodations (“todd anderson, who prefers not to read, will keep the minutes of the meetings”) and encouraging him to step out of the box that stifles him being seen as ‘forceful’ or like he can’t take no for an answer makes me insane with rage

[lesbicosmos]

songbird by fleetwood mac is so anderperry coded

[filmbro-girlblogger]

ever since fall started (aka dps season) my anxiety has skyrocketed like i cannot do *anything* without crying and shaking

i choose to believe that this is evidence of the spirit of todd anderson inhabiting me this fine autumn rb if you’re also being possessed by todd

[73647e]

president of the todd anderson is french and speaks it club

[billsbae]

remember that todd is probably the eldest poet (unless we have a virgo or libra in the squad, but I don’t think so) which means if the poets get into some “illegal” problems, then todd’s the responsible for these idiots
