#dead poets society

[journalsofanaesthete]

I really love the idea of romanticising life but not in a way perceived on social media where it all feels like a compulsion of looking cute, clicking cute pictures and loving things. Honestly romanticising doesn't mean any of that, it's not about loving things forcefully but about appreciating things. It's about finding beauty in the chaos and celebrating it instead of waiting for a perfect moment or a perfect place. The idea of romanticising life is more about finding moments of peace in your daily life instead of wishing to escape your life. It could be you just drinking a cup of coffee on a morning but without any anxiety in your gut, it could be the colourful sky at the time of sunset, it could be you journaling in your cute diary, it could be the whispers of gentle breeze, it could be a mere look at the sky. Romanticism saves people by actually filling people up with so much of gratitude for everything and everyone.

So what's that one line from dead poets society that just sticks with you? I mean I love so many of the lines, but what one is now forever engraved in your mind.

ATTENTION DPS FANS: i’m rewriting the Dead Poets Society book right now! I just finished the first scene in the chapel with the four pillars and where Neil and Todd talk to Nolan with their parents. I’m taking script from the actual movie and book but improvising it. This will transcend the book, END HAPPILY (no neil death, no fired keating, no expelled charlie), and go on through their sophomore, junior, and senior years because I want this to be very long! It will be Neil/Todd-centric with ships of temporary Knox/Chris, endgame Knox/Charlie, Ginny/Chris, and Meeks/Pitts. It is on ao3 under @/mqddiegh.

Excuse me but Neil Perry what are you thinking here huh?

Is your mind playing a sequence of you holding your twinky roomates head and giving him a kiss that makes you two breathless?

You want to hold him forever huh?

You want to marry him?

Is that what you're thinking about? The stone on your wedding ring? How his hand will feel intertwining your fingers? That's all you want huh?

THEN WHY DON'T YOU DO IT FOR FUCK'S SAKE? YOU BETTER CONFESS YOUR LOVE FOR THIS BOY OR I'M EMBEDDING A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD.

Wait..

I think I’ve found my calling making dead poets memes like I’m genuinely gleeful when I come up with a new meme to post (also I’m scheduling this post and I feel like Eliza Lam—anyone??)

Todd Anderson, an interesting case of the younger child. He's fits the common stereotype of seen as a baby by his parents and older brother, while also being the furthest from the favorite. Where most youngest sons Todd knew at school, Balincrest and middle + elementary school, were their parents' favorite, Todd was no where near the same level of standing in his own family.

He was surprised to see the constant fretting of mothers and the encouraging words and claps-on-the-shoulders from fathers at Balincrest. His own parents never extended the same kindnesses to him.

When he was small, he remembered hearing his mother asking his father, an endless well of concern apparent in her voice, if he thought that Todd was too sensitive. She asks him if he thinks that she coddled him too much for a little too long. He hid at the top of the stairs and listened to his father's resounding answer that he would grow out of it.

Clearly he hadn't. And though his mother never got over her reservations of baby-ing him, causing her to be colder than she was in his childhood, his parents still thought him emotionally immature. Time and time again, he could sense their need and want for him to just "grow up". He didn't understand what he could possibly do to satiate that want in them. He was grown.

Todd often wondered how his life would've been if he were not the last of his parent's children. What if he had a younger brother, a younger sister, which through their simple existence, pushed his current troubles and insecurities onto them. Of course, he didn't wish his hypothetical sibling to experience the same things as he did, that would be cruel. It was just a thought experiment. Would he be different? Would he have been better?

the love was there, between neil and todd. from the moment they met. even if todd didn’t realize the weight of it until neil passed.
