Todd going home for the weekend (Saturday morning to Sunday evening)

Todd, getting up from the breakfast table with the poets Saturday morning: oh I have to go

Neil, staring wistfully: oh mine own Todd, I bid thee the sweetest of goodbyes, my heart may be full of sorrows but I shall speak my farewells with honest wellness and inpatient joyfulness for I shall be waiting to see thee again on the morrow, mine own sweetest Todd, until then I shall hold you in mine heart for I cannot hold you in mine dear arms

Todd, walking out: uh ye-yeAH uh, I’ll see ya tomorrow *awkwardest wave you’ve ever seen* b- *runs into table because he was looking at poets* uh bye Neil

Neil, after Todd leaves: did you see that guys, isn’t he sooooo romantic, he just says the most perfect things to me

The poets: *wondering if Neil is delusional or just that lovesick*

#Todd walking out: god im such an idiot like can’t I just say anything right #Neil: isn’t he the most perfect guy ever #dead poets society #dps #dps fandom #dead poets fandom #todd anderson #neil perry #they are so Anne and Diana coded in this and perhaps that’s just my favorite type of pairing #well Neil is Anne coded but Todd isn’t really Diana coded but he is in some ways in the movie I suppose #maybe I’m just not normal about those two and I’ve secretly projecting them onto every other ship so I don’t have to address how utterly #bewitched I was by Anne and Diana from Anne of green gables (Anne and Diana shoulda been end game like have yall read the first novel???)#no one can convince me they weren’t written to be the superior ship and you can fight me on that)#if anyone sends me an ask about those two I will answer with why I think they were written to be romance-coded in the first novel so yall #don’t think I’m dillusional or making up the queer overtones of the novel #but back to dps #only slightly ooc like Neil is definitely dramatic enough to say something like that and Todd is that awkward but both are slightly #exaggerated charactitures of their selves #cause why not
