dps fandom propaganda i'm NOT falling for (btw this is just a silly trend on tiktok i know this isn't actual propaganda)

using "nuwanda" to refer to charlie

mr. perry had no empathy or didn't love neil at all

"book knox is bad but he's a good person in the movie"

knox

cameron being described as worse than knox

the poets wouldn't have been homophobic at all

todd's whole personailty is being a shy baby

neil is toxic/abusive/mean

todd is angry/mean all the time

neil not having bpd

ginny "gets in the way" of anderperry

that any of the characters were perfect

neil wouldn't have internalized homophobia and would have fully embraced his sexuality right away

charginny being ignored by the whole fandom

chris x knox

saying anderperry shippers "can't accept male friendships"

knarlie (sorry)

cameron deserved to be made fun of and excluded

jeffrey was a perfect brother to todd

chet was a good boyfriend and brother

todd would hate himself for being gay

chameron is bad

Need you guys to know I am soooo anti generative AI. In case that wasn't clear. It's bad for the environment, unethical, theft, and will never be as freaky as me. It is inferior in every way

[sillyandgoth]

genuinely so passionate about this 😭 i wish our fandom held more of the racism and sexism in this movie accountable

guys ... what if we didn't ... call charlie by the racist name? what if we did that? hm? just a thought?

[sillyandgoth]

i think if matilda had come out when todd was little, he would’ve watched it over and over because he related to her so much, having parents who didn’t care and who always preferred his big brother. he would’ve prayed every night for his own miss honey, just so he wouldn’t feel so alone. but by the time he finally got one (mr. keating), he was already grown up, and he’d spent all the time he was a little boy alone and wishing for something that wouldn’t come until he had already learned to live without it

[sillyandgoth]

rip todd anderson, you would’ve hated having to take iron gummies and being dorced to drink protein milkshakes

[sillyandgoth]

todd anderson is a passenger princess

The misunderstanding of carpe diem + physical harm in dps makes me absolutely crazy

Knox stalks a girl, doesn’t take no for an answer and gets hurt because of it (gets punched by Chet). He deals with physical harm. He ends up getting the girl, but he had a price to pay, a punishment to endure. Chet threatened him, he could have been in danger. Knox didn’t think he did anything wrong. He apologized to Chris, but with the stalking and such, it never went through his head “hey this might be kinda fucked up” while he was doing it.

That’s not what Keating said. He didn’t told them to be careless and act on their impulses even if that might get them in danger.

Charlie pulls his “phone call from god” prank and many things happen. One, when he first published the article he revealed the club (although not its members or activities) without anyone else’s permission. Two, he could have gotten expelled. Three, he got hit by Nolan, a physical punishment. Just like knox, he dealt with physical harm and risked expulsion. Charlie didn’t think he did anything wrong.

Keating himself told him that he flew too close to the sun, than he didn’t mean that in his lessons. Carpe diem is not choking on the bone.

Neil seemed to understand Carpe Diem, he was just desperate. It’s not than he was impulsive, or careless, he was just incredibly desperate, and that’s somehow worse. Neil goes behind his father’s back and joins a play. He writes a letter pretending to be him, sneaks off to rehearsal. When his father finds out, he has a price to pay (his father enrolling him on military school and forcing him to stop acting) and ends up dying by shooting himself (physical harm). Neil definitely knew, and thought about what would happen if his father discovered, but he was so desperate to live, to do something he wanted for once, he didn’t care, he began hoping he would manage to keep it hidden. Neil thought he was in the right (which, honestly, he was). He didn’t see anything wrong in what he did, simply wanted to fulfill his passion, passion than didn’t hurt anyone, passion than didn’t involve anyone else other than himself. The contrast with Charlie/Knox and yet, still having the same consequences… Peter Weir I’m hunting you down.

This is not what Keating encouraged. Remember how Keating asked him to talk to his father? Remember how he asked him if he talked to him (and Neil lied and said yes) and he was very happy and supported his decision about the play? Remember how, before knowing his father “agreed” Keating didn’t tell Neil “oh you’re already in the play, go through with it, carpe diem, who cares what your father says?” but instead told him “talk to your father. If he says yes then you can continue with the play with no worries, and if he says no then wait until you’re out of school and he won’t be able to control you as much anymore. You have options, this is not the end of the world. Either talk to him and come to an agreement or wait.” Remember that? Keating didn’t want Neil to go behind his father’s back, because he knew the consequences this would have.

(Interesting how, out of all the physical harm than the misunderstanding of carpe diem caused, Neil’s is the only one inflicted by himself to his own body. I’m definitely very normal about this.)

Charlie, again. He punched Cameron. Acted on impulse, didn’t think of the consequences punching another student on school grounds, on school hours, actually meant. He got expelled. He suffered a punishment. But now he didn’t receive any physical harm, but rather caused it. To Cameron. He didn’t think he did anything wrong, he thought Cameron deserved it.

Cameron. He’s the hardest to understand. He wants to seize the day, in his own way. After all, he joins the club despite not really having to, but he simply seems too scared to actually carpe that diem. He ends up seeing this as dangerous. After what happened to Neil (dead), and after seeing what happened to Charlie (almost expelled) and Knox (ended up with a bloody face) he gets scared. Damn, this might actually be dangerous. It’s a good reasoning. 3/7 members got hurt. Not half of them, but almost. He misunderstood carpe diem based on the consequences seizing the day had in the others (the others who misunderstood what it actually meant) and so he snitched to nolan. And this is what causes him physical harm, what causes him to be punched by Charlie. He loses something (his friendship with the other poets) and gets physically hurt. So, so, sooo interesting how despite this being considered the complete opposite to seizing the day, it’s framed in the exact same way as all the other instances where carpe diem takes part. He suffers the same consequences as everyone else. He believed himself to be doing the right thing, to be saving the others’ academic lives and doing now what he couldn’t have done for Neil before (protecting others from keating’s influence).

Keating never meant for carpe diem to be dangerous, or hurtful, or scary.

But then Todd.

Todd’s carpe diem is just becoming more confident. Reading his poems aloud, becoming more sociable and comfortable around his friends, accepting than he’s allowed to receive love, to rely on others, to believe in himself, to stand up for himself and his beliefs (refusing to sign the paper and saying no to his parents and nolan).

His final stand, his seize the day moment, is at the end of the film. He’s the first one to stand on the desk. This is the perfect rebellion. Meaningful, happens for a reason (Keating getting unfairly fired), doesn’t harm anyone else and doesn’t harm himself (doesn’t cause him nor anyone else physical pain). No danger (he might get in trouble, but I doubt he could face expulsion for standing on a desk). Charlie’s act on Neil/Keating’s memory was one of anger, impulsive, one that drew blood and ended in expulsion. Todd’s was one of defiance, impulsive, but that hurt no one and ended well. It’s more, it caused happiness (Keating felt better, saw his contributions).

The one who felt more scared to go through with it at first is the only one who truly understood it.

Then with Meeks/Pitts idk honestly. They don’t really have a big moment. I guess at the end, standing on the desks, but they’re not the ones who start it or are particularly important in that scene. The radio scene, perhaps, but I don’t really see what was stopping them from building a radio before. If the radio scene was their carpe diem, though, then another example of someone understanding what it truly meant. The scene ended well, didn’t hurt anyone or involved anyone who was unwilling, they didn’t get any punishment after, etc.

[sillyandgoth]

I CAN’T ☹️☹️

[sillyandgoth]

These scenes are contrasts btw

Knox goes into Chris’ school to willingly read a poem he wrote. / Todd is already at his school when he’s forced to recite a poem he just improvised.

Knox entered the class with the whole purpose of reading it. / Todd entered class with absolutely no intention to recite anything.

Chris was… not impressed. / Neil, on the other hand, was.

(Chris covering her head and face, refusing to look at Knox. / Neil staring directly at Todd, unabashedly.)

Kids were laughing at Knox. / Kids were laughing at Todd at first, but then they stopped and became impressed, and clapped.

Knox looks at his audience (the students). Several times, in fact. / Todd’s eyes are closed. Just when he’s about to look at the class, Keating makes it a point to stop him, tell him to not do it, to keep his eyes closed.

Chris tried to discourage Knox from reading the poem and failed. / Mr Keating tried to encourage Todd into making up a poem and succeed (after basically forcing him to, but well).

Both read it in front of the class aswell

(Also, Chris begins not being interested on Knox while Knox is super interested, slowly Chris warms up to him and they date vs Neil begins very interested on Todd and always trying to include him but Todd is reluctant at first and avoidant, but slowly warms up and then Neil dies)
