I see one man with big brown doe eyes and I'm done for

[screechin-outloud]

one thing abt me is that I will, in fact, kin on the mean bisexual white boy filled with rage, a deep need for academic validation, caffeine problems and a emo bf that has no chill

I think Amber was genuinely so good for Wilson. She understood him more than most people, and she encouraged his independence. She genuinely wanted him to put himself first and do things he wanted instead of just doing things he thought others wanted. And a lot of that was able to happen because she herself was incredibly independent. She wasn't the stereotypically "needy" person Wilson had been drawn to before, so she wouldn't stand for his attempts at being a martyr. She stood up to House, too, but she also cared about him in her own way because Wilson cared about him. She appreciated their relationship and went out of her way to work things out with House for Wilsons sake. I have a lot to say about why I think all of Wilson's female relationships failed and why I think that was caused by his internalized struggle with his sexuality, but I stand by the fact that I think Amber was actually good for him and one of, if not the most, healthy relationship he had in the show.

[dotsunflowers]

so the key to this movie is going in with an understanding that everyone is queer

[deanlighful]

i need robert sean leonard characters to stop dying.

please

[justablix]

Robert Sean Leonard is the most beautiful man in existence. I can't look straight at him because he's too pretty to comprehend

[ihopeicanchangethislater05]

OH myGoD do you know how much a dying role + a glasses role gets to me? like

have you seen this man when hes acting close to death characters and he does it with GLASSES ON?

Rsl roles where they let him keep his glasses > rsl roles where he can't see

Anderperry is real and this is an essay on why I think that :D

During the locker room scene Todd is seen to be sat near the window hunched over, seemingly looking at the floor in thought. This is until Neil comes over and clicks him out of his trance, Neil then asks if Todd is going to the study group, which Todd stumbles over some words, which sometimes happens if you like someone, but as he finds his words he looks at Neil's d 3 times, pointing out that Neil has a towel covering him. When todd gives his answer Neil turns towards the group ad Todd looks at his bum (it wasn't casual).

The next time anderperry is shown is when Neil and Todd were talking and Neil wanted Todd to join in, Todd stated that Keating said that everyone took turns reading, Neil then stated that he could still be there if he didn't want to read "what if you just came and listened" Todd then said "thats not how it works" which Neil replied with, happily and encouragingly "forget how it works" this shows that he doesn't care to follow the rules if it makes Todd uncomfortable.

Another important thing to note in this scene is that Neil asked "what if they said it was ok", Todd's response was "what, are you gonna go up and ask them" to which Neil made a suggestive face and jumped up to ask the boys to make the exception. We can see this later on when the poets get to the cave and Neil states that Todd will keep the minutes.

Another time this is obvious to me is when Neil tells Todd about Midsummer, Todd asks what it is to which Neil replies "it's a play dummy", here Neil is very happy and excited about doing the play, at first Todd didn't understand Neil happiness but his face lit up when Neil said "I'm gonna act". Shortly after Todd says "hold on a minute" and starts asking questions such as "how can you be in a play if your father won't let you" and "won't he kill you if he finds out you went to an audition and didn't even tell him", Todd keeps saying logical things and then Neil suddenly snaps thinking that Todd is on his father's side, and the regret as soon as he snaps is as clear as day, he fully regretted snapping at Todd. Todd then says "you say things and people listen (refering to Neil) I'm not like you" to which Neil replies "don't you think you could be" (again, suppoting boyfriend). In this scene Todd also says that he can take care of himself to have Neil reply with the word no, Todd asks "what do you mean no" and Neil repeats himself saying no again but with a smirk (ROBERT SEAN LEONARD THE MAN YOU ARE).

Shortly after Niel is being chased by Todd around their room and Niel says "I'm being chased by Walt Whitman" who was a known queer poet.

After Neil getting the part he funds Todd and they look a bit close in the doorway, Todd looks like ge was gonna lean in for a little kiss, Todd being the supportive friend he is sits on the bed and helps Neil with writing the letter that should be from his dad, as Todd says "you're not gonna write it" Neil makes a weird squawk which Todd laughs off looking at Neil, (flirting).

After we see bagpipes being played near the river which I'm assuming is the place of the deleted scene. In this scene Todd and Neil are practicing Neil's lines where Neil is very energetic which shows his love for acting, which he has been doing his whole life to be the best boy for his dad, and Neil says "god I love it!" To which Todd replies with "what? Me?" (YES YOU! GET MARRIED!) Here it shows that Todd has some feelings for Neil. Also when Neil says "put more into it" it shows how supportive, encouraging, Neil is towards Todd, green flag all round. (Just this whole scene shows they're gay, you can't miss it). Todd and the madman poem is another good example of anderperry because Todd didn't write a poem, Keating helps him write one about Walt Whitman (a known queer poet) being a sweaty toothed madman and when the poem ends the scene lands on Neil who is gobsmacked and staring at Todd, you can't tell me he's heterosexual.

In the scene after while the boys are playing American football you can see a boy jump into another boys arms... that's Todd jumping into Neil's arms.

When Knox calls Chris after hanging up the first time Todd turns to Neil smiling, Neil smiles back very happily and Meeks sees them being gay and supports it.

This is mainly from the book but in a few scens after it is Todd's birthday and Neil spots him sat on the roof, Neil says happy birthday enthusiastically and even though Todd got the same desk set he already has Neil tries to make him happier by saying maybe his parents thought he needed a new one, point is that Neil in this scene is trying EVERYTHING in his power to make Todd happy.

While Charlie is coming back from Nolan office Todd and Neil were talking to each other, probably nothing but just a note.

When Neil is in Keatings office talking about how his father wouldn't let him do the play this can also be a metaphor for gay love because when dead poets was set gay love was frowned upon, and when he says he's trapped this could also be because he loves Todd too.

When Neil is going to the car Todd is following along trying to get Neil's attention and as his dad drives him away the camera pans to keating with Todd in the background staring after the car.

Just after when Neil is at home and the boys are in the cave Todd reads the poem that he was writing earlier on in the film, Neil might have given Todd the confidence from the play.

When Todd finds out that Neil is dead he goes outside and Todd was gagging and just after he runs to the pier where him and Neil were rehearsing lines before in the movie for his play, his final yawp was for Neil.

In a few scenes after when Cameron said that that Neil would be cozied up in his room rn dreaming of being called doctor, Todd butted in nearly shouting "that is not true Cameron" and "Neil loved acting"

To also note a lot of the time when death was mentioned the camera would usually pan to Neil which could suggest that he was suicidal from the very start of the movie.

People say midsummer has queer potential- Anderperry.

Midsummer explores the theme of dreams and implies that the play itself is a dream- Neil's dream to be an actor.

Also they're both in Tape 2001 so don't try and tell me they're not soulmates.

Thank you for reading!

Something about the way Robert Sean Leonard talks, I just love it. Like, yes in Dead Poets Society, but also in House M.D.

(and his expressions too he is truly a GOOD actor)

[ghostboyhood]

HOLY SHIT??? the fact that me rambling abt rocky horror is pushing u to rewatch it is CRAZY!! my sunny fixation has definitely been on the back burner so i definitely get u w sunny 😭😭

AND EDDIES SO SICK ????? youre so insanely real for that holy shit

💛💬💪💗

AHH HI KAT!!

THANK U!! we definitely should talk more im js so bad at figuring out what to say to ppl 😭

ID FIGHT SOMEONE FOR U TOO!!! no hate around here ❌❌

[dailykafka]

Have you read Kafka’s letter to Oskar Pollak from 1902? There’s no way they weren’t in love.

(I’m talking about the one that ends with ‘I am very fond of you’ from February 4th.)

^ From an interview of Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard who play Gregory House and James Wilson (yes this is a real interview and yes he answered like that unprompted)

On a serious note, Franz and Oskar were very good friends and they were very close to each other. The fact that Max Brod, here too, omitted some stuff from letters is interesting but I don't think it would be right to say that they were in love, they just loved each other very much.

random swing kids facts i have/things i noticed for your viewing pleasure

✶ willi (peter's younger brother) was initially named neddie in earlier scripts

✶ the role of peter müller was suggested to ethan hawke, and frank whaley (arvid) was the one who'd urged him on until the role was later taken by robert sean leonard

✶ the café bismarck is located in hamburg

✶ emil specifically breaks arvid's ring and pinkie finger after his run-in with the HJ boys

✶ thomas seems to have quite an interest in cowboys; "we're cowboys!" "playing cowboys and indians?" "i'm not a traitor, i'm a cowboy!" 

✶ in case it was not caught, peter's father is named wilhelm müller, though his name is only said around 4 times verbally in the film

✶ the actor for herr knopp, kenneth branagh, is not credited for the film, as he felt he'd get billed higher than both christian bale and rsl 

✶ the movie was released on march 5th, 1993, and took an estimated year to film (i had the information somewhere…lost it) 

✶ peter used to play the piano! + the bass otto uses is called a double bass an instrument in which you stand to play

✶ all the dances you see done by the boys are done by rsl and christian bale themselves

✶ arvid is often referred to as "djangoman," or "herr hitman" by his friends  in reference to other swing artists due to the boy's musical talents

✶ emil's last name is lutz

✶ the deleted scenes for this movie are incredibly hard to find, at least from what i've gathered 🙁, and the only one i've really been able to identify is a scene between peter and evey

✶ rsl was around 23-24 during the movie's release/filming, and christian bale was around 19, whilst frank whaley was nearly 30

✶ willi sleeps with a stuffed rabbit :-]

✶ it is presumed the boys are around 16-17 during the events of this film, meaning most of them would've been born around 1922-1923

✶ the last time peter speaks to his mother in the movie is after their dinner with herr knopp following arvid's death -- their last interaction (that we see) is when his mother hits him :-[

✶ at the end of the film when willi is chasing after peter in the truck, he stops in the middle of an empty road before it cuts to his face, but when he goes to chant "swing heil!" the camera pans back out to show an umbrella and newspaper at his feet when they were not there previously

✶ during his second meetup with frau linge, peter is offered a cup of tea -- he is handed it, and holds it nonetheless, but we don't see him drink anything (way to waste perfectly good tea peter)

✶ during the scene in which thomas boxes emil at the academy, there is a banner above the doors that reads "flink wie windhunde, zah wie leder hart wie kruppstahl," which can translate to "nimble as greyhounds, tough as leather, hard as krupp steel." krupp steel was often used to create firearms during wwii

✶ in the scene after thomas boxes emil and the boys are at arvid's place, there's a shot in which we see arvid tuning/tinkering with his guitar with his two uninjured fingers -- beside him is a poster of django reindhart playing guitar with only two fingers, one of his staples

✶ peter and willi sleep in the same room

✶ the last time we see mama klara is at the beginning of the film when herr knopp first visits the muller home -- she comes out of the kitchen saying "do you have news of my son?" (wilhelm muller), before peter's mother redirects her -- however, she is mentioned later on during the dinner scene between the muller family and herr knopp near the end of the movie: “are you sure your mother-in-law wouldn’t like to join us?” “yes. it’s not that, it’s just that none of these rich foods would be good for her.”

✶ there was a scene in the original script at the beginning of the film just after peter leaves his home for school in which he calls up thomas to converse about the man they'd watched jump into the river the night before -- after this scene we are given a more in depth view of thomas' family dynamic (a tense one at that)

✶ on the topic of thomas' family, thomas' father is named dietrich

✶ if it was not already obvious, the film is specifically set in 1939, during the absolute beginnings of the outbreak of wwii

✶ otto is last seen during arvid's funeral (he just disappears for the rest of the movie i dont even know) 

✶ in the scene in which arvid commits, the camera pans to a selection of photos he had on his wall -- of the few are two of their friend group before it fell apart, and emil is visible in swing kid attire -- this is the only time in the film we see him out of HJ uniform

ok thats all i have for rn

[crinkle-eyed-boo]

I’m sure the guys don’t hate 1D, I just think that after almost 8 years of the band being over it’s time to let it go. Fans can still enjoy the music and express their love for it but I do think bringing it up when they’re doing their solo work is dismissive of that work. I personally would find it tiring if I started a new job or endeavour and people were constantly talking about something from the past especially when it’s happening every single time I was presenting something new that I was extremely proud of. It may not be happening every single time with Harry but it is happening with Louis. Yes he has said in the documentary that he wasn’t ready to move on but he also expressed some very complexed feelings (some not so good) about his time in the band. He’s worked hard to move forward. Maybe it’s time to let all the guys move forward and leave 1D as a fond, past memory.

THEY ARE THE ONES BRINGING UP ONE DIRECTION BY PUTTING ONE DIRECTION SONGS IN THEIR OWN SET LISTS.

Editing to add now that I’ve cooled down a bit: I would love if the press would stop asking them about 1D and focus on their new work, like that would be amazing.

FANS shouldn’t have to be held to that same standard though. I liken it to me meeting Robert Sean Leonard at a stage door and saying great job in the play but REALLY THANK YOU FOR DEAD POETS SOCIETY, it means so much to me. One Direction will always mean something to fans, it’s why LOUIS means something to some people, so let fans be.

AND THEY ARE STILL THE ONES PUTTING 1D ON THEIR SET LISTS.

[worldrusher]

💙💙

never let an author answer basic questions they'll write five times more than needed

1.

They all really just prefer their uniforms becasuse they're convenient and also Required (aka I'm a bit too lazy to think about that because they're usually on their respective Starships). They all have specific faceclaims, too ... which are kind of embarrassing to write down instead of show, but this is Tumblr. So.

Strelik, TOS - Jared Padalecki (with Vulcan modification), circa GiImore GirIs

Dr. Novac, TOS - Robert Sean Leonard, around the 80s-90s

Strelik, AOS - See above

Feliks Kovalyov, AOS - Jensen Ackles, around the 90s? Pre-SPN. When he has more blonde in his hair.

Nuka Salvatici, TNG - Um...uh.. . Noah Hugbox. Sorry

2.

They're all in Starfleet!!! :D

Strelik, TOS - Navigator/Pilot [Gold Shirt]; Lieutenant Commander [two cuff stripes]. Whatever life/education on Vulcan is like pre-Science Academy (since he skipped out on that). Joined because he didn't see himself in Science and he wanted to be in space.

Dr. Novac, TOS - Doctor [Blue Shirt]; Lieutenant junior grade [one cuff stripe] (idc if that doesnt exist in TOS it does now). Went to Rutgers New Jersey Medical School to become a doctor before Starfleet Academy. Joined because it was always his dream to save lives in space and expand his knowledge beyond Earth illnesses and injuries.

Strelik, AOS - Engineer [Red Shirt]; Lieutenant [one cuff stripe]. Same origin/motives as above.

Feliks Kovalyov, AOS - Security [Red Shirt]; Lieutenant [one cuff stripe]. Had a shit childhood and educated himself most of the time (and did a damn good job!). Joined to escape his "home" and wanted to be in security so he could protect others.

Nuka Salvatici, TNG - Security [Yellow Shirt]; Lieutenant Commander [two gold pips, one black pip]. Worked as security on Rivet City, but didn't see much action. Joined because it was that or surviving the Capital Wasteland without any assistance or gear.

3.

Strelik, TOS - Vulcan. Strained, but repaired over time. Deeply loving and trusting. Respects and cares for his friends/colleagues, even if he doesn't show it.

Dr. Novac, TOS - New Jersey, USA. Loves them a ton, and they're so proud of him. Sooo loving and sweet and gentle. Tries to be friends with as many colleagues as possible, because it's easier to work with people you like.

Strelik, AOS - Vulcan. Strained, but never repaired. Same relationship/colleague/friend feelings as above, even if he's dating different people; he shows this care a bit more often, though.

Feliks Kovalyov, AOS - Rural Mojave Desert, USA; Russian-American. Hates his parents (mutual feeling). Loves Pavel SO SO MUCH; there is so much affection nd care in their relationship it's insane. He's protective over the crew, beyond it being a job requirement; he will put his friends and crew before himself in pretty much every scenario.

Nuka Salvatici, TNG - Rivet City, Capital Wasteland (New Earth. He's Fallouan.). Never knew his parents. Doesn't have any romantic relationships currently. He's a little new at making actual friends, so he can be a little awkward and cold, but he really does care for any friends he's made and sees them almost as family; same with his coworkers, with that innate protective urge of any security officer.

4.

Strelik, TOS - Best: i don;t know how Vulcan schools work, but...being the best in his class one year and having internalized pride for it // Worst: accidentally showcasing too much emotion in front of an acquaintance and losing said acquaintance from his life

Dr. Novac, TOS - Best: his dad becoming a doctor and motivating (not forcing) him to be one as well // Worst: his grandpa's death from an illness that could have been cured; the doctors overlooked it :/

Strelik, AOS - honestly...same as TOS

Feliks Kovalyov, AOS - Best: learning about Starfleet and being recommended for it by a teacher // Worst: most of his childhood, honestly

Nuka Salvatici, TNG - Best: learning how to shoot a rifle for the first time // Worst: shooting himself in the foot and nearly having to amputate it

5.

Strelik, TOS - Sehlat

Dr. Novac, TOS - Red fox

Strelik, AOS - Vulcan water-beetle

Feliks Kovalyov, AOS - Brown bear

Nuka Salvatici, TNG - Dog

6.

Strelik, TOS - Joins the same time as Chekov; wouldn't be shown on screen until s2e2

Dr. Novac, TOS - Had to fight through so many different motion sickness cures before allowing himself into space

Strelik, AOS - In a relationship with Spirk; showed affection for Spock first

Feliks Kovalyov, AOS - Has a (really cheesy and cringe because I can do what I want) mainly Green Day cover band with Sulu and Chekov

Nuka Salvatici, TNG - Fallouans all have one mutation per person, and his is telepathy (he stifles it often)
