Dating Charlie Dalton ♡

You two grew up together, totally inseparable. It came as no surprise when you started dating.

This boy is a flirt, 100%. He loves making you blush all the time.

He's into PDA, comfortable with kissing and holding you to make it known that your his partner.

Though, he is a lot more intimate when you're alone.

Little spoon 1000%. Loves being held.

Dates are usually to a restaurant or to his room for cuddling.

He brings you along to the cave all the time, whether you're with the others or just alone.

Would probably kill for you. As he should.

Also, you'd end up being best friends with Meeks and Knox.

thinking about charlie, who will call you every single pet name known to the english language, and use them so much that sometimes you wonder whether he remembers your real name. thinking about charlie, who always insists on having his arm around you when the two of you are in public, no matter if it’s around your shoulders or your waist. thinking about charlie, who will absolutely cover your face with kisses when you’re upset until you laugh from how much it tickles, and have the most smug smile on his face when he’s accomplished it. thinking about charlie, who will attempt to write a saxophone melody just for you, and even if it doesn’t turn out quite like he wanted will feel like the sun has started shining in his chest when you smile at him after he plays it for you. thinking about charlie, who as much as he craves validation, eventually comes to find that yours is the only laugh he really cares about hearing after he’s told a joke.

thinking about charlie, who is always so jovial and takes so little in this life seriously, but who is deadly serious about his love for you; as much as he tries to bring light and levity into other people’s lives, you are the light in his life, and he will be damned if he doesn’t love you with the same determination he gives to telling jokes and causing mischief - strong, steadfast, with all the warmth and power of the sun he cannot help but remind people of, and that he insists he sees every time he sees you smile.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐱 𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐑!𝐟!𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: none. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Remember that the Soviet Union is not only Russia. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞. 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰.

First, let’s figure out how someone from the USSR could have ended up in the States. There were only two options: either you were stripped of your citizenship or you fled the country. Let’s take the first one - suppose your father was a writer and he was stripped of his citizenship because he was writing literature that was against the country’s ideology (I won’t go into details because in reality things were more complicated and scary). You don’t know how your father had connections there, but pretty soon your family got invited to the United States. The person who invited you was Mr. Noel. He also allowed you to stay at his house until you find a place to live.

He’ll probably see you for the first time when he goes to Chris with Knox to give him moral support, and if he’s hesitant, kick his ass.

You didn’t go to any school because you didn’t have the proper documents for enrollment yet, but every morning you walked Chris to her school.

"Where is she?" Charlie asked.

Knox looks at the crowd for a few seconds and points to Chris walking next to you. You stop at the entrance and she goes inside. You wave your hand at her and turn around to walk away. And Charlie stunned.

"Well, this is… Chris? You certainly have less chance than Denburry."

"I know… wait, who are you looking at?"

The next day he’ll try to get to know you. Like… It’s Charlie. I don’t think he’d wait long if he was up to something. The only reason he didn’t do it yesterday was because he didn’t want to hurt Knox’s feelings. He was quite sure that charm you would be as easily as possible. However, he did not expect that you would not be very talkative. And one more thing. Obviously, your English isn’t the best at the moment, and that complicates things, too. But the other problem is that his manner of speech and his behavior… scared you off a bit.

'I’m not serious at all, and I pass no skirt by' - that’s what you’d expect from a guy like that. In the society you grew up in that kind of behavior was discouraged and considered suspicious.

So the only thing you could say when a guy you didn’t know stopped you on the street with a playful grin was quick 'Sorry, I have to go'.

And now Charlie stunned again. How is that even possible? Back at Wellton, he didn't say a word when the poets asked him how it had gone. He told them so confidently that you won't be able to resist him. So how can he now admit that you ignored him?

Of course he’ll be teased about it, especially by Cameron. "Our Nuwanda can’t pick up a girl, huh?"

"Just shut up."

Again, this is Charlie. I believe he wouldn’t give up so easily. So now you meet him almost every time you walk Chris to school. And honestly, it was pretty creepy.

But then again, he didn’t do anything… outrageous, right? He wasn’t stalking you, you two were always out in public, so if you needed help… I think it’s clear what I mean.

At first, he just said hello and asked how you were doing. Then, when you didn’t answer, he said something about himself, about how his day was, complaining about Mr. Nolan. And even though you didn’t understand half of what he was saying, over time, you got used to his company. It took a long time, but Charlie was on cloud nine when you first answered him, "Not too bad… You?"

He was so proud of himself, so that night he wouldn’t shut up. Even after Cameron threw something at him for the third time in a row, so that he would stop talking and let him sleep.

Charlie finally got your name. You’ve had no contact with any of the locals other than the Noel family, so you’re not sure how anyone would react if they knew who you are and where are you from. What’s your name got to do with it? Well, it sounds unusual at least, so… easy to guess. Anyway, Charlie only knows your first name. So far.

Before you knew it, you were waiting for him to show up. Soon you even began to answer him with short simple phrases and laugh with his jokes, if you understood them.

Poems. Well. It’d be weird if he didn’t come up with a few poems about you, right? But you’re not used to the sound of English poetry. Although it’s better to say poetry in English.

I’m not sure how to describe it, but poems in Russian are very rhythmic, they hold a permanent rhyme. They sound different. So when Charlie first read you a poem, you didn’t even get what it was. Congratulations, this is the second time you’ve broken his heart.

One day you offered to walk you home. You’ve known each other for almost two months, and you’re in a good mood today. Why not spend more time with him? And, of course, Charlie could not refuse such an offer. While you were walking, you were talking about yourself more than usual, and even though you were still afraid to tell Charlie the details, you were very eager to give him a hint.

"Was it a poem again?" you said, standing at the front door.

"God, don’t say that, you’re making my heart bleed!"

"The only thing that bleeds is my passport," you opened the door and entered the house. "See you tomorrow, Nuwanda."

The next day he’d walk you home again. You said you had to hurry somewhere, but he insisted. Actually, Mr. Noel was supposed to be taking your family to the embassy today, so when you came, everyone was getting in the car.

You wanted to say goodbye to him, but he asked, "What you meant by 'the only thing that bleeds is your passport'?"

Should you tell him now? You looked him in the eyes for a few seconds, then sighed and took your passport out of your purse and handed it to him.

"I guess now you see what I meant," you muttered with a shy smile.

Its cover is red. Yellow letters, two words – 'СССР ПАСПОРТ' (In fact, red passports were introduced only in the 1970s, but it's not an archive document and I’m not here to teach a full history lesson. So let’s pretend that in 1959 it was already red, not gray).

"Are you coming with us, miss?"

"Yeah, I’m coming." You grabbed your passport out of his hand and went to Mr. Noel’s car, waving goodbye to Charlie.

Well. When you’re a guy from a wealthy American family who goes to a prestigious private school and lives a quiet life, the chance that you meet someone from the USSR… Is there even a chance?

Anyone would be shocked, maybe scared even. But Charlie… Of course he didn’t expect it and he’s surprised. But given his personality and character, I think he would rather be pleasantly surprised. Perhaps even excited.

Now it all makes sense. That's why you avoided him at first, why you spoke rarely and why you seemed to have a slight accent. Turns out he was right about the last one.

He’s definitely gonna be proud that he’s the one who got such an unusual girl like you. He’ll tell the dead poets about it as soon as he gets back to Welton. Cameron will be the only one who won’t believe him.

After that, you became more open with him. You’re still embarrassed by your poor English, which Charlie secretly likes. You told him why you live in the Noel house and about your friendship with Chris. You didn’t tell him the details of how you got here. He asked you a lot of questions, so you had to say it is very painful memories and you’re not ready to talk about it.

Charlie wouldn’t be Charlie if he didn’t ask you to teach him Russian swearing. He literally begged you to, so you had to give up. Now it's the best way to shut Richard up when he does something annoying. He also mutters the curses under his breath when Mr. Nolan gives a speech.

You grew up in the Soviet Union, where a working woman was a normal thing (it's a myth that there was full equality of men and women in the USSR; but again – it's not a history class). So when the question arose of how to renew your visa, you immediately began to think about how to get a job. And Charlie sincerely does not understand this. You can just get married, can’t you? It’s the simplest and seemingly obvious option.

He’ll ask you to marry him. Many times. Every time you start talking about how hard to find a way to stay in the States is. Maybe it’ll sound like a joke at first. But the embassy continues to reject your application, so he starts talking about it more seriously.

YO YOU WRITE FOR DPS??? THAT IS SO AWESOME can i please ask for maybe headcanons of Charlie x male reader with Charlie realizing he has feelings for a guy for the first time?? 🙏🏻

anon it would bring me no greater joy to write for dps

masterlist

Charlie Dalton is not serious

It’s part of a persona he’s carefully built up over the years– no cracks, no slips, no missteps

He can float from day to day, never taking anything to heart, but he doesn’t realize how integral it is to his survival until one boy makes it all come crashing down

Charlie has known you for a long time, always counted you as one of the best among many good friends, but for the first time, he starts wondering if there’s more, if he wants there to be more

It’s stupid, really, he doesn’t even think you want more, but if you did– and he did too–

This is not a good place nor a good time for such musings

Studying at Welton may have brought Charlie his friends, and most importantly, you, but that does not mean it will be happy to see two boys want to be more than brothers, more than friends

So Charlie pushes the thoughts away, just like he always does, forces laughter when it doesn’t want to come and pretends that nothing is the matter

Except, Charlie knows things he shouldn’t, like how you look at him after crashing the night in Charlie’s dorm, or how it feels to stare up at you like he’s worshipping a saint when you’re reading poetry with the society in the caves

Charlie Dalton is good at not taking anything seriously, but this– this he wants with a strength more exhausting than anything he’s ever experienced in his life

The teachers at school, hell, maybe even his own parents, they might all say this is wrong, what Charlie is and what he feels is wrong, but hasn’t he always been in a speeding car straight to hell anyway? 

What’s one more rule to break?

The society is running wild through the darkened forest one night, spread out in an endless expanse of pitch black midnight and waving boughs and no one else is around except for him and you, and Charlie knows

He thinks Achilles and Patroclus, he thinks Alexander the Great and Hephaestion, and when he kisses you, it feels like the greatest, most glorious victory of all

Ancient Greece doesn’t know shit

It occurs to Charlie, two heartbeats after you break away, beaming at him, one heartbeat after you kiss him back, that he has won

And maybe, just maybe, he can be serious about you

charlie, doing a little twirl: okay how does this look ? im not feeling it, but i think im hot enough for it to work, what do you think

cameron: why do we have to do this every morning? it looks the same as it did yesterday. and the day before. and it’ll look the same tomorrow because its our uniform and we wear it every single day

charlie:

charlie: ur avoiding the question

[ya-like-huey-lewis-and-the-news]

how the dead poets would prompose…

(pt. 1)

a/n: so my friend promposed to one of my other friends last night and i was like "okay i guess i have to write hc's for this now🙄🙄” so HERE IS THAT I HOPE U ENJOY

also ignore the logistics aspect of this w the private school blah blah blah this is my blog and i make the rules🙈🙈

neil perry:

(yes i used a swing kids gif shut up)

definitely did some sort of surprise musical number

yes, all of the rest of the poets were his backup singers.

and they were all into it too which is surprising

charlie definitely was resistant but enjoyed it the most

regardless of whether this is modern day or canon-time period, he would probably do a rendition of a song by the chordettes or frankie valli and the four seasons, that kind of thing

maybe some billy joel🫣🫣

you can tell how hard they worked on it

it was surprisingly good for a group of unhinged teenagers

mr keating was also there in the corner bc he knew ab it but wanted to see the finished product

neil ends the song on one knee holding his hand out to you like "(y/n)…will you go to prom with me?"

you say yes obvs

he just has the biggest smile on his face

hugs you and picks you up and spins you around<33333

todd anderson:

writes you a poem obviously

tries to keep it a secret, since he doesn’t want any of the other boys accidentally spilling the beans (i love that phrase sm)

most likely only tells neil and has mr keating proofread

even though he does not need proofreading

he puts his entire heart and soul into the poem

like it brings you to tears

this man loves you so much and it’s all on that one piece of paper

he leaves it on ur bed for you to find and once he sees you went into your room he stands in the doorway until you’re done reading

he is very nervous

you turn around and see him standing there

he sees you crying and he feels awful and goes to ask if ur okay

but u just hug him as tight as possible and don’t let go

and that was a mutual agreement that the answer was yes

charlie dalton:

i honestly had a hard time figuring this one out

i feel like he would use some sort of inside joke

like kind of like the teapot in the office

something like that

when he tells the rest of the boys all of them are confused but no one can question charlie's madness

he just knows for certain it will work

mr keating is very proud of his creativity

he’ll probably leave it on your bed waiting for you to find it

…and will also forget he put it there so he is quite confused as to why you are knocking on his dorm room door in the middle of the afternoon

when he opens the door he is simply attacked in a hug and kisses all over his face

he embraces you back and is lowkey giving himself a smirk

you say yes obvs

he is very pleased with how he did!!

you knew charlie was going to ask you, but you could not figure out how

he is quite the wildcard

but as always, regardless of his hamster wheel brain, he was able to show you at least a little bit of how much he loved you :)

thank you so much for reading! i had quite a lot of fun with this lol pls lmk if u want a part two with the rest of them and/or possibly how the actual prom night would go🫣🫣i hope u enjoyed !! have a great day mwah

Fireworks - Charlie Dalton

Hey! This is my first post ever so i hope you like it <3

This idea came to me while watching some fireworks with my friends @nogoandbees <3

Summary: you watch the fireworks with Charlie Dalton and he focuses more on you than the view in front of him.

Warning: none.

Pairing: Charlie Dalton x gn! reader

One shot is below the line, thank u for reading!

The boys were pretty excited about going to the end-of-summer fair, however, you weren´t as thrilled. Loud noises and big crowds were not your thing, but Neil literally begged you to go with them.

The reason?

Charlie Dalton.

He had spent the whole week calling the Perry´s House to the point where Mrs. Perry stopped picking up the phone because she already knew who was calling.

Of course, the poets knew why he was so persistent about you going with them to the fair. His plan was to kiss you on the top of the Fair Ferris Wheel, as cheese as it sounded. That was all he could think of for the last weeks of August until the day finally came.

You spent almost half an hour deciding what to wear, while Neil waited in the hallway just outside your door reading a book. Putting chapstick on your lips you finally came out of your room, and of course, your big brother had to make a comment about how much time you took to get ready.

"Dressing up for someone?"

"Never" Even though you were lying to yourself.

You both started walking towards Meeks´s place since it was near the fair. You kept trying to calm yourself down, you haven´t seen Charlie since the school year ended and it seemed that every time you saw him he just keep getting more handsome than last time.

You were meeting Knox and Chris directly at the entrance and you were suddenly missing the female support she gave to you, she just seemed to understand you and your little crush better.

After what appeared to be forever, they all entered the precinct and started pointing out everything that they liked, from the cotton candy to the big roller coaster.

When the sun was starting to set, Pitts recommended seeing the view from the top of the Ferris Wheel. Charlie got mentally prepared to ask you out and he finally spoke.

"Hey, I was wondering, well, if you wanted ..."

Just as he was going to finish his sentence, Chris snatched your arm,

"Y/n!! Sit with me on the Ferris Wheel, please!"

She looked really excited as she grabbed your hand and you couldn´t help but to say yes. You then turned around to face Charlie.

"What were you saying?"

"Nothing important"

Just as he said that he turned and joined Neil and Todd in the queue.

You wondered what he was going to say but your turn to get on the ride was coming. You enjoyed your time with Chris on the wheel even if the ride wasn´t really long.

"So, Y/n, how´s your crush going? Still there?"

You wondered for a little while. You never knew what Charlie was feeling, he was always so extra and extroverted. But you could tell that was just a facade for how he truly was. The only thing you really knew was that he was extremely loyal to his friends, which honestly just made you like him even more.

"I don´t know, I really don´t know if he´s even interested in me"

Chris just smiled as if she knew something you didn´t.

"Why are you smiling?"

"It´s nothing really, you will see it for yourself later"

...

The sun was already set when all of you sat down at the stairs of the building next to the fair. Pitts had said something about watching the fireworks from there because it had the best view. They sat down in the blankets and had a few laughs while you kept thinking about what Chris said about you seeing it for yourself.

"Everything okay?" Neil asked sitting in front of you.

You pulled yourself out of your mental trip and answered.

"Yeah, you know how I feel about loud noises"

Knox was quick to enter the conversation "Oh yeah, I remember that time we tried to make a surprise for your birthday and when we came into your house shouting, you almost fell down the stairs."

Charlie added another story "Or when I accidentally blasted music through your speakers while you were reading almost had a heart attack"

"That could happen to everyone" You tried to defend yourself.

Just as you said that the first firework was shot through the sky and you covered your ears just in case. You felt an arm wrapped around your shoulders and turned to see Charlie looking at the fireworks like nothing happened.

You tried to ignore it like everyone else who were too focused on the display in front of them to even notice.

Charlie´s plans had gone to waste, so this was pretty much his only chance to kiss you. he leaned a bit closer as you looked up to find his gaze.

"Are you alright?" you asked.

"I just, can I try something?"

Confused by his question you slowly nodded. Right after you agreed, you felt his lips on yours. Surprised, you opened your eyes and completely froze.

He pulled away with a sad look on his face. "Sorry, I thought we liked each other and..."

You quickly put your hand on his cheek and kiss him again. It was a very soft kiss, not rushed, perfect for you. A few seconds passed and you were so happy that forgot the fireworks. Though a really loud noise brought you back to reality and surprised you, accidentally biting his lower lip.

He pulled away touching his lips in shock. His reaction was so pure that you couldn´t help but laugh. A lot.

"Oh my god, I´m so sorry, I didn´t mean to, Charlie."

But he didn´t look mad at all, he just smiled and snuggled closer.

"Is this payback for the speaker's situation?"

You just smiled like a fool in love.

"Maybe it is, Dalton."

"Damn me for falling in love with a Perry."

I´m sorry if this is cringy, I really tried my best :(

Hope you like it! <3

[riddlersh0e]

Im so obsessed with Charlie Dalton, LIKE PLEASE GIVE ME ONE CHANCE SMASHSMASH PLEASE YOURE SO FINE, JUST ONE MINUTE 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[enpassants]

dps headcannons when (some of) the poets are ill

todd

clingy. so motherfucking clingy

"neilllll, come cuddle me :( please"

refuses to leave his bed

still uses drinkable medicine bc he is scared of tablets

very emotional. will cry very easily because he is just overstimulated and tired

takes a day to recover even after the illness passes

asks the poets to bring him all the homework if he misses class because he is scared of falling behind (neil takes the english and pe notes, meeks takes the math and latin notes, cameron takes all else)

neil ends up staying up late with todd to help him finish the homework and explain anything that might have been left out of the notes

neil

suffers from hayfever very badly

tries to hide whenever he feels ill but one of the poets notice and put him back in bed

"im fine guys i promi- *sneeze* i'm not ill *coughs violently*"

often gets ill after taking care of another poet when they were ill (most likely todd)

tries his hardest to go to classes and keating sends his ass back to the dormitory

"mr perry i admire the dedication, but please go to your dorm before you turn my classroom into a walking infection."

charlie

acts like his life is about to end

"mr nolan im DYING. have some sympathy on a poor man."

refuses to go to any class but keating's even if it is the smallest illness ever

"trig? i can't do trig, LOOK AT ME."

cameron still brings him the day's notes and charlie appreicates it even if he doesn't say so

secretly looks over them when cameron has fallen asleep

cameron

absolutely despises getting ill & takes all the measures he can to avoid it

vitamin tablets, boosters, vaccines, the whole shabang

refuses to let it bother him unless he is physically bedbound

he will have the most raging temperature, splitting headace and limp everywhere but god help him if he does not get to 4th period chemistry on time

he prides himself on having a very good attendance

the poets can tell when he is ill most of the time bc his face gets very ashen and his freckles pop a lot more noticeably

thinks he has mastered the art of not appearing sick

cameron, with red eyes and pale cheeks, grimacing as he shuffles up to his friends: "hi guys *wince* how are you? *sniffle*."

the poets all know he is bullshitting but they know he hates getting called out more so they don't make a note of it but they all be a lot more accommodating

charlie eases up on the teasing for the day

- If you still felt terrible he would skip classes with you.

- If you felt okay he would tell you how proud he was of you.

[fragmentsapphic]

i was scrolling through twitter as one does, and came across what might possibly be a little known fact about lord byron. apparently the dear poet was *ba dum tiss* bi. guess you could call him lord bi-ron 😎

anyway i just remembered charlie quotes him in the scene pictured, and i thought it was a clever way for the writers to hint at his sexuality. personally, i headcanon him as bisexual.

i was literally giggling and kicking my feet on the couch when i happened upon this information.

i thought this was a neat connection and wanted to share with y’all. enjoy ☺️

[poetrybypuck]

Charlie convinced Todd to write a novel in Neil’s honor.

[tragediesnotspokenfor]

PLEASE THESE PICTURES. I CAAANN'TT

WHY IS MEEKS WHY IS HE 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

[enidonline]

Even more since the last ones got so much love

[inahallucination]

Headcannons about what the Poets smell like? And/or their favorite scents :)

idk if i really associate the poets with specific smells

but vaguely

todd prefers floral scented products, however he typically wears non-scented products until he feels more comfortable just using what he wants - non-scented because he doesn’t have an identity lol - floral scents are more feminine and romantic - the romantic side is double bonus because he’s a poet too - lavender smells are supposed to calm you down so he might be a little attracted to them but yeah im not sure in particulars - wait that last part was what todd would like to smell more wasnt it anyway, floral scents have some symbolism religiously and spiritually and i dont really headcanon todd as religious but i think the layered meanings and symbolism might be something todd-like but mostly he just likes smelling like flowers tbh - he also probably owns a shit ton of lotions all different smells, mostly floral and maybe he has a specific favorite - maybe jasmine or gardenia but yea -- he also smells like books - that new book smell, yall know what i mean - and ink - well he smells like a lot of things depending on whats happening, thats just how scents work but i think thats like the most prominent. Well those and Neil

neil probably starts of using very masculine scents but when he gets away from his father id see him leaning towards more fruity smells - fruity smells are loud and bold and fun - all three things that neil would be,,, at first he’d probably use scents similar to his father - like im talking the first things you associate with masculinity - we all know how fragile mr perry’s masculinity is and he totally projects onto his son - anyway - gradually he’d start leaning towards brighter and funner smells - something cheerful -- he’d also experiment with floral scents - specifically any that todd would wear and although he himself tends to lean towards fruity smells he also smells very floral because like todd

charlie owns a shit ton of colognes and he’s todd’s lotion shopping buddy -- he leans towards spicy smells - like cinnamon or something - because he thinks they make him cool -- but mostly they just make the other poets come to him for hugs cuz he smells (and is) warm,,, but like he owns a shit ton of cologne - like its honestly concerning at this point (he also likes fruity scents)

knox definitely owns like the most basic “manly” cologne out there or like he practically bathes in axe body spray - he thinks itll impress the girls. it doesn’t. luckily he grows out of it eventually. then he leans towards lotions and soaps for smell rather than cologne and only uses a small amount if he does use cologne. he’s not particular about smell i think - he just goes to the store, sniffs, and chooses the one that smells the best

cameron typically uses stuff his parents buy or the basics that welton provides - he doesn’t really think about what smells he likes or dislikes. or well what scents he likes on himself. however, in their last year of welton, he’s helping charlie pick up all his stuff from the floor after charlie tossed it aside for one reason or the other and charlie has this one cologne that just smells really good and charlie lets him have it because charlie has a lot of his own - its sandelwood - cameron only plans on wearing it once but the day he does, todd comments that he smells nice and then turns red and stammers away but cameron quite pleased with it - he borrows todd’s lotions and charlie’s colognes and goes through a phase of wearing random ass shit that doesn’t really go well together - but his favorite scent to wear is still sandelwood

meeks probably smells like engine oil - no seriously it just makes sense to me - but also citrus with a hint of floral - citrus because its bright and refreshing and mostly because he just seems like the kind of person and floral because he also just seems like the kinda person idk it makes sense

pitts had an axe body spray but then knox started it and he learned,,, he like meeks smells like engine oils and shit but he personally likes more greens scents for lotions and colognes something lowkey but very nice if that makes sense

huh ig i do associate the poets with smells - but not like one specific scent like oh so and so smells like roses <3 but still fasdklfjfjds

anyway i think todd cares the most about how he smells - i feel like at this point everyone knows i hc todd as someone who likes to feel pretty fjadksfj - and neil gets particular about scent after sometime with todd, charlie should not be given money but he is and thus he has a cologne collection, meeks and pitts could drench themselves with perfume and still smell like a robot’s asshole if that makes sense, and cameron likes sandelwood because why not
