todd is a shy kisser. and neil loves it.
the small intake of breath followed by the tentative meeting of their lips. neil can hardly stop himself from smiling into it. and the way todd melts into it makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
and don't even get him started on the look todd gives him. delicate doe eyes, poetry personified in a gaze alone. how he wished he could write about everything he saw in his eyes. so bright and clear, like the ocean. he'd swim in them if he could.. no, no. that sounds cheesy. scratch that. todd's better at describing beauty than he is.
he'll settle for observing such perfection. running his thumb along a plush lip, drawing out a shaking breath before going back in for another kiss. one not quite as shy. comforting. sweet. soft. and he won't be able to hold back his smile this time, pulling away with a small chuckle to regain his composure.
"neil," todd whines. "we only have a minute or two until we have to go.. c'mon.."
"i know, i know. i'm sorry." neil laughs again, not able to wipe the smile off of his face.
todd returns the smile, resting his head against neil's shoulder. ".. you know, for an actor, you're not good at keeping your emotions in check."
"oh, and you do?" neil drags his fingers through a few blond strands of hair. "what do you know about acting?"
"i'd say i'm pretty damn good. i keep myself composed whenever i'm around you."
"you can't say stuff like that and expect me not to kiss you again."
todd lifts his head up. "well? what're you waiting for?"
neil fixes his face and kisses him again. a little rougher. lips part and breath is stolen. when they pull away to breathe, both panting, he flashes that grin of his again. "now who's the bad actor?"

watched dead poets society for the first time yesterday and not to be dramatic but it kinda ruined my life! watched it, cried for 3 hours, stayed up till 6am reading anderperry fanfiction desperately trying to feel, slept until 2 in the afternoon, then rotted in my bed (reading more fanfic) for 4 hours until finally getting out of bed, just so i could go buy the book and read it in an hour. think i might be going crazy

no you don't get it, my writing speed is so slow because i always have to reread, admire and/or second-guess the last few paragraphs before writing the next sentence, so the longer the story gets the more i need to reread before continuing to write.
i am very unproductive but this also means i know long passages of my stories by heart, which literally has never come in handy ever, but i couldn't end this by just saying how unproductive this writing method is :')

I have what I think could be such a cool allium duo fic idea. But it is so positive and I've been feeling so down that the vibes are genuinely not working for me to write it. Hate it here

you know when todd is like i won’t read at poetry meetings nobody is gonna want me there i can’t read out loud i won’t do it and neil just looks at him like really looks at him and in the softest voice goes “you really have a problem with that don’t you” and he’s not judging todd at all he just finally understands how todd works and the fact that public speaking (especially to people he barely knows) is something that todd cannot handle and that’s okay and once he understands he just immediately is like okay how do i fix this because i want todd here and i want him to enjoy this with us and he just goes oh perfect i’ll rearrange some things and todd will wanna come :) it’s just so touching and todd probably isn’t used to people accommodating him he doesn’t even know what to do with it . my point is i am going insane over this

We talk a lot about the dead poets society. But think about the original D.P.S., where Mr. Keating was a member. Imagine their poetry , imagine their ideas...imagine what made Mr. Keating as Mr. Keating that influenced the new D.P.S.
Imagine the original dead poets and their genius.

since you asked for anderperry headcannons<3
todd is a bit stronger than neil, since neil is built like a twig:3 plus todd looks a bit broader, so imo it makes sense!
todd loves having his scalp scratched, it is the nicest thing!!! when he was small his mother used to do so, but she never does anymore (because of the jeffrey thing).
both are also fans of casual physical affection, like they display in the movie!!
neil cant dance for shit, whereas todd is too self-conscious to let loose
todd loves neils hands, a lot, he likes to hold them:3 neil loves todds back instead and loves leaving tiny kisses on his shoulderblades etc:3
yeah thats all i got, i hope this was sorta what you were going for<3 have a nice day/night!!!
ohmygod thank you anon these are *chefs kiss*
but the back kisses thing has me feeling things :(( it's how neil will show his affection wherever others are around!! he'll rest his chin on todd's shoulder and occasionally smush his face against the back of todd's neck or shoulder, pressing tiny kisses against his uniform clad skin like little secrets.
and it does something to todd because he's really sensitive around his neck on top of probably being a little touch deprived so whenever neil kisses him around that area he short circuits it's so cute
and on the todd being stronger thing i so agree. neil didn't topple over for nothing when todd tackled him in the football scene. that boy is as strong as a twig. meanwhile, todd will pick him up like it's nothing. if he's in the way, todd will grab him by his waist and move him to the side with a little "excuse me, dear"

Dead Poets Society and if they’d smoke weed
including my reasons for why :)
Neil: yes (and hear me out), Neil still drinks the liquor from Tina/Gloria, whoever, even after seeing majority of the boys heads shake no. He’s desperate to try new things, even if it’s once. Also I think being high would be a very freeing feeling for him.
Todd: Yes, but only to mellow out. It would never be for recreational use only to calm down his anxiety.
Charlie: God yes, he’d be the one providing it to each and every one of them.
Knox: No, as much as he’s okay with drinking I don’t see Knox as the type to enjoy the effects of weed especially when he hasn’t had the best of times under the influence of any drugs.
Cameron: Absolutely not. He’d freak out if you even pulled out a joint in front of him. Probably tell on you too.
Meeks: Yes and no. I think he would for Charlie and to save face but he’s not particularly fond of it and never would if it wasn’t for the boys.
Pitts: Yes, and if not for the weed but for the snacks. He loves snacks and having the munchies means more appetite for more food :))
