is this anything,,,

these are canon ‼️‼️ if i may,,,, perchance my own headcanons? :3

- neil, charlie, knox and meeks genuinely like grocery shopping. they just like going to whatever store and buying things okay?? theyre like curious kids/dogs

- meeks and todd argue about cuisine ALL the time because one of them's italian and the other's french. one of them wants to make french onion soup and the other wants to make pasta. they usually compromise by making something spanish, to charlie's delight

- everyone can "cook" to some degree,,, todd, cameron and meeks are arguably the best cooks; charlie and neil are okay,,, they can cook some good meals but usually its kind of meh; and knox and pitts are NOT allowed in the kitchen unless its to bake

- speaking of baking - pitts and neil are the designated bakers, meaning that they always run off (with the cart) to the flour section and other baking aisles and spend so much time in there,,,, its a good thing meeks and cameron are good at holding a lot of stuff!! pitts and neil have definitely gotten in trouble for accidentally breaking a bag of flour and spilling it EVERYWHERE

- do not let any of these mfs in the treats/sweets aisle. neil is always like "oh we cant its not in our budget" but charlie "fancy pants rich mcgee" dalton ALWAYS has money for sweet treats. they always regret buying so many but they also regret NOT buying any so... better more than none, amiright?

- knox, cameron and todd believe in the whole "shopping when youre hungry", meeks and neil dont, and pitts and charlie do believe it but dont care and shop hungry anyway. almost even distribution

- they always refuse to get a shopping cart at first but then when everyone has atleast 15 things piled into their hands they FINALLY admit defeat and send someone to get the shopping cart. this happens every shopping trip

- meeks insists on going to the self checkout because she LOVES scanning the items and loves the way it beeps when she scans them - she also really likes finding the barcode. all the other poets let her because shes faster than all the cashiers and it allows her to shoplift (she only ever does it with pastries and non-barcode items and ALWAYS gets away with it)

- charlie and meeks are chronic shoplifters you can fight me on this. are they the richest and third richest friends in the friend group respectively? yes. do they hate big corporations with a burning passion? also yes! also meeks likes the thrill

- todd has managed to sneak into the back/staff rooms to check something because he was too shy to ask for help. somehow didnt get caught??

- pitts, hard of hearing king, has accidentally ignored a stranger asking him to get something off the high shelf multiple times. todd always does it for him and usually gets an absurd amount of money out of it - which always goes towards new foods eversone is scared to try

- todd and meeks may be the designated cooks but they are NOT the designated meal planners because they only want to cook/eat the same five things so charlie and knox, the only ones brave enough to switch it up, have to meal plan for them. all the other poets are on todd and meeks' side but usually end up enjoying the food charlie and knox planned

- god forbid they go in there without a shopping list. they will come out with a cart full of things they will NOT need or eat.

- meeks, neil and pitts have a wandering problem and always, without fail, get lost even though they go to the same grocery store every single time. cameron has taken to a) herding them in like a damn shepherd/sheepdog, or, in meeks' case since she gets lost in a way no one will ever find her again, b) hold her by the hand/shirt collar so she cant get lost

- speaking of cameron, they always talk about eating healthy and not eating too many sweet things and stuff but then will disregard all of that when they see any sort of cereal bar

- they are all SUCH picky eaters with the rare exception of charlie and pitts (who will eat judt about anything) and a little bit of knox. shopping is a struggle when theyre trying to find something that everyone will eat, especially when, for example, half of the group loves cashews, walnuts, etc (neil, pitts, charlie); the other half hates them (todd, knox, cameron); and one person genuinely gets physically ill at the mere thought of them (meeks) (im projecting i literally got ill as i was writing this)

- trust neil to always look for the cheapest option and everyone else to quietly, but quickly disregard that. hell be looking at the cheapest option when todd comes over, takes it from him, puts it back, and puts a nicer, but more expensive, version of the food in the shopping cart. neil always tries to complain but in the end it allows him to walk out of the store without a single dent in his budget sooo,,,

- all of the poets have been caught making out in the grocery store at least once. whoops

- charlie is technically banned from the grocery store but the owner agreed that as long as hes under adult supervision (read: with cameron, todd or neil at all times) hes allowed in

- they get approached by SOOO many karens everytime they enter the store for multiple different reasons,,, some reasons they've been approached/yelled at by a karen:

- meeks was using her crutches (she has hypermobility and her knee joints SUCK)

- they were talking too loudly

- they were wearing/using/buying something that indicated they were queer

- charlie bought a playboy magazine

- they bought the last of something

- and much more!!!

this is all i can think of in the moment ‼️‼️ sorry for making it so long i got a lil carried away teehee =))

i went grocery shopping with all my roommates today and it was absolute chaos and the only thing i could think was how it would be for all the poets <3

DEAD POETS SOCIETY

Carpe diem.

Seize the day, boys.

Make your lives

extraordinary.

Dead Poets Society and cars because I have to take a driving lesson again soon and it's stressing me out:

Neil: he can drive. His dad refuses to let him drive his car, but he does have his licence. Usually only uses it when with the other guys, considering Knox does have a car but everyone prefers Neil's driving. He puts on the radio or random music whenever he can, refuses to have anyone but Todd sitting next to him, starts losing focus mid-song and has to have someone remind him that he's going above speed limits.

Charlie: doesn't have a licence, god forbid he ever does. Tried getting it a few times, kept taking wrong turns and going too fast. Plays music super loudly or shouts lyrics when in a car. Takes the front seat whenever he can, enjoys putting his legs on the board while Cameron explains why that could be fatal for him if they got in an accident (usually responds along the line of "shut up cameron").

Knox: can drive and has a car, but guy is super slow. Won't go above 20 km/h if he can. Super cautious except for that one time he tried to go fast and got a tree branch stuck in his windshield.

Meeks: had his driving licence in one go, didn't make any mistake ever. Only reason Neil drives instead of him is that Meeks usually gets bored of driving pretty quickly or takes breaks every half hour. He also puts the radio on but no music because otherwise he completely loses focus. He knows how to repair a car.

Pitts: never got around passing the exam, knows the theory. Drove his grandpa's car a few times. He usually just likes being in the backseat, reading the maps and shouting directions, or stealing all the snacks.

Cameron: didn't get his license. Won't say why (he accidentally messed up while starting the car once and almost got him and the instructor killed). Feels very much entitled to criticizing others' driving. Usually shouts when they go above speed limits. In charge of the directions with Pitts, except that he gives very unclear instructions ("turn to a 57° angle in 189 hectometers").

Todd: has a driving license, hasn't told a soul. Knows he'd be the assigned driver for parties otherwise. Only drives with his brother, and they usually speak instead of listening to music. He falls asleep in a matter of seconds once in a car, and he gets a seat by the window whenever he can.

Chris: got her driving license as soon as she could, takes care of her car whenever she can. Will never be seen lending her car to anyone -not even her family is allowed to drive it-. Always has plaids in her truck and finds good luck charms to hang to the mirror. Never had any accidents except for that one time she almost ran over a dude (but he was annoying so it's not that bad). Gets out of her car to pet cats when they cross the road.

Mr. Keating: refuses to drive a car. Yes, he does have one. No, he will not use it if he's able not to. He will bike, take the train, walk, jog, power walk, rather than take the car. He lends it to the Poets every once in a while, and Charlie has a copy of his keys.

Stick: I really like Stick so they're an anxious driver like me. Apologizes abundantly when the car breaks even if it isn't their fault, waves when someone lets them go ahead first. Paranoid about going above speed limits or missing a sign. Isn't planning on owning a car but does like driving every once in a while.

tunnel vision

True dat

i had a vision,,, asexual dps fans what do we think

We all hate mr. Perry

Got this dead poets society picture book, it's full of stills from the movie with some quotes and even some poems from Walt Whitman at the end 🥲🥲 there's even Todd's poem 😭😭😭 I love it so much, here's some pictures of it, it's in french tho

Click to see the photos better (I wish I could have scanned)

Here's some more

Some more stills from the DPS picture book, click to see the photos better (I wish I could have scanned them 😭)

Here's the first part

physically i am here

mentally i am in a cave with my 7 friends a few miles away from the boarding school we are forced to be at by our parents reading poetry to each other

I’m so sorry but this screen cap is so funny to me cjnkvyztu

Charlie is all like “I’m gonna fucking deck you” and Meeks in the background like “what the hell?”

Then Knox like “Why? Why must he be this way?” and Todd looking away “if i don’t look I don’t have to deal with it”

I know this probably isn’t funny to other people but I thought it was hilarious

So, in mr. Keating's class there are 4×5 sites, and they are all taken. That means the poets are 35% of their class.

You didnt need that information, but I did the maths and had to share

Im sorry

They are the same

My rule is to wach dps if:

I have a bad day

It autumn

Its December

I need to stay awake

I miss the film

I forgot the melody keating whistles

I just want to

I prefer to cry about neil than to think about reality

I dont have school the naxt day

I read Shakespeare (cause i do that now, apparently)

I think its funny, because they are almost 70 years older than me and the pupils in my class, but i know that if they were my age nowadays, the poets would fit in perfectly

I think they spelled dead poets society wrong

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
