song for baby-o, unborn - diane di prima & dead poets society [1989] dir. peter weir

[starcrime]

my miscellaneous dps headcanons (including some background characters)

neil

has HORRIBLE eyesight. like wayy worse that meeks but he hates wearing his glasses

loves scavenger hunts

charlie helped him realize he's gay (they made out once to 'check' but never had any actual feelings for eachother)

is diabetic but doesn't know it

todd

is so incredibly competitive it's ridiculous. he'll die before he loses a bet

selectively mute

gets his poetry / writing published at least twice. the first time was even before he turned 18

scrunches his nose when smiling

not a morning person. he's dead until noon

knox

is a huge gossip and his grandma's favorite bc of it

can't lie to save his life

loves horseback riding

can't cook. at all. like he burns water

charlie

loves spicy foods and smells

his parents mostly ignored him and his younger sister during their childhood and basically raised his sister himself

but it also gave him a lot of freedom, especially during holidays and school breaks, since his parents always either pawned him off to family or just didn't care where he was 90% of the time.

like, really, they only care about appearances so they get on his back about being disrespectful every once in a while and ignore him the rest that's one of the reasons he acts out all the time he desperately craves attention he never got

tina INSISTS on doing his make-up everytime they hang out. he likes make-up and she's pretty good, so he just lets her

meeks

like todd, he's very competitive, but, unlike todd, he's not a sore loser

has a huge sweet tooth smells like it

was obsessed with nordic mythology in middleschool

matthew ("spaz") was his childhood bestfriend, but they grew apart over the years

is allergic to bees. somehow never remembers to take his epipen anywhere. it's a miracle he's survived this long

pitts

he's a car guy. wants to be a car mechanic

had a crush on neil in like 6th grade

scared of birds

has a stutter and used to have a lisp

gamer boi

not exactly a hc but yall can we acknowledge how sarcastic and bitchy he is??? he's hilarious

knows how to sew

gives the best hugs

cameron

once got arrested and had to call charlie to bail him out. charlie was so proud he bought him ice cream on their way back

has lexical-gustatory synesthesia

his bio dad is dead and he hates his step-father with a passion

is besties with gloria and she finds him hillarious

other

mr keating used to work as a line cook in his teens. also he was a lot like charlie during his highschool years (chaotic & funny)

chris used to do ballet as a kid, but has moved on to cheerleading and gymnastics. her parents are divorced. she lives with her mother and younger half-brother

ginny really should be wearing glasses but she hates them and her parents refuse to buy her more flattering frames. she can't swim. people always share their secrets with her bc she seems like she can keep them, but she’s actually a huge gossip

stick has a twin sister. he is nonverbal and communicates thru asl

gloria is training to be a hairdresser

tina can’t walk in heels taller than half an inch

hopkins has a huge crush on cameron

matthew is an origami master

mr mcallister knits in his spare time. he married a chinese woman who, when he met her, didn’t know any english

i take headcanon and one-shot requests btw

[starcrime]

hc that charlie is a nickname/petname maniac and loves making up and using anything but people's names to refer to them. and it's like 128479178 times worse when he's dating someone bc he makes sth new every hour and it's cute yes, but also incredibly annoying (to him that's all the more reason to continue)

some of charlie's favorite nicknames/petnames

neil - nelly, puck, periwinkle, peri-twinkle

todd - teddy, toddles, wallflower, blondie

knox - knoxious, knoximus, oxy, for-the-streets

pitts - pittsie, gerry, george, peachy

cameron - cam, dicksie, carrot-top

on a similiar note, charlie LOVES being given nicknames and or petnames, like he swoons everytime he hears someone make up something new for him

i take headcanon and one-shot requests btw

charlie headcanons !

i like to think of him as half-native, specifically apache

"nuwanda" still racist tho

was never a ‘good’ student but got decent to good grades until like ? 7th grade bc adhd

started smoking around 8th grade and feels like he can't stop bc oral fixation

oldest and only son. has a younger sister 

also his mom was teen pregnant with him and thats why his parents had to get married x

his parents weren't really into the emotional part of being parents

writes a ton of sappy poetry he never shares with anybody

genderqueer and or gnc (i still like to use he/him bc pronouns ≠ gender)

also bisexual 

LOVES flirting n making out n all that stuff . it’s his favorite pastime

gets in fights every now and again bc hes a hothead, but other than that he is basically everyone’s best friend

or at least he makes everyone feel like theyre bestfriends 

switches to a first-name-basis with keating

loves music and has a talent for playing just about any instrument he picks up 

except the piano he hates pianos for some reason 

i really like the idea of him becoming a musician or artist of some kind

love language is physical touch. followed by quality time n words of affirmation

he says almost everything that crosses his mind

the type of guy to say incredibly sweet n profound shit without realizing

it gets drowned out by all the dumb shit he says tho

coffee drinker, but the kind of pretentious one where he only really drinks espressos and other ‘authentic’ coffee.

not his fault he was raised by pretentious assholes 

around the time of graduating welton he got disowned by his parents and was homeless for a while. 

hes DESTINED to be a single teen girl dad. at least for a little bit then he can get a coparent boyfriend but for alteast it’s just him and his lil girl

gets hyperfixated on random things often so has a bunch of random skills varying in usefulness 

like cooking ? good, he should know how to cook. piercing ? not very useful and kinda expensive 

etc etc

gets a couple piercings (and tattoos) himself bc ofc he does

likes giving his friends piercings and thinks it’s a great flirting ‘hook’

imean it worked with meeks so ig hes right  ...

i take headcanon and one-shot requests btw 

[starcrime]

dead poets and random shit i did or that has happened in my life that i think they would do as well

long ass title but whatever

neil - giving a late presentation to save my grade in history, half-dressed in my theatre costume, in between two "shows", and then immediately running back to change, bc i only had a total of like 45 minutes in between shows

todd - faking an illness on a monday to not go to school, then "forgetting" to set my alarm for an entire week, therefore skipping an entire week of school bc i didn't feel like going. also just faking/exaggerating stomach issues to skip school (bc school was really stressing me out) so much my mom took me to multiple doctors (which is how we found a barely developed cyst in my stomach)

charlie - spending new years eve with a random group of people in which i only really knew one person, drinking straight vodka with them from the one single glass we had, then, after midnight, going to a random someone's kind-of relative's house, and drinking and chatting with them for another hour b4 going home bc i felt bad (there were children in the house)

knox - comforting a very obviously anxious girl, that was trying to ask me out, saying yes (SOMEHOW not realising she meant it romantically, even though there was literally no other way to read that interaction), then panicking and cancelling the day before bc i'm not into girls

meeks - refusing to smoke throughout basically all of highschool and then taking up smoking after i felt awkward and overstimulated at a party ONCE and went out with my friends for a smoke break, even though they made it clear they did not mind me not smoking

pitts - playing "random word roulette" during creative writing class, where you get random words generated and have to find a way to use them during the lecture (mostly by asking a question), without raising suspicion from the lecturer and have her "take the bait" (resulting in people saying shit like "but is there way to make a art a food? like a poem i could eat like beet soup?" (also it worked and we got another 30 mins of her showing us food-related avant-garde art (sadly no edible art though)))

cameron - befriending my school's librarian and spending 80% of my school breaks in the little school library, chatting with her, despite having a consistent and close group of friends, reading at least two books a week, and getting roped by the librarian to participate in a 'reading comprehension competition' and getting 3rd place bc the book was boring asf (also being really upset about it even though i didn't even want to compete in the first place)

[starcrime]

btw

[starcrime]

can i imagine them ever dating? no

but would they be so funny as exes?

yes.

[starcrime]

dead poets heights according to me

these are their heights in my head. btw. bc these are characters and their actors dont matter to me

neil - 6'0.4" / 184 cm

todd - 5'11.2"  / 181 cm

knox - 5'11.7" / 182 cm

charlie - 5'10.5" / 179 cm

meeks - 5'7" / 170 cm

pitts - 6'2.8" / 190 cm

cameron - 5'10.9" / 180 cm

i just find it funny for cam to be exactly 1 cm taller than charlie

:)

[starcrime]

neil & charlie have the type of friendship where everyone that sees them interact automatically assumes they're a couple

until they see them interact with their actual boyfriends and then it's like "ah. i see."

[starcrime]

charlie dalton to me if i'm being perfectly honest

[starcrime]

my hcs as to dead poets after graduating welton (college&job-wise)

neil - took half a semester of pre-med in harvard before switching majors to acting/theatre arts. changed colleges after a year to a acting/theatre specific one. started acting full-time during his fourth semester but still graduated . once his roles started waning he started managing a high school theatre department

todd - was a english major and an indie journalist. later became a part-time english teacher in the same high school neil later worked in, and a writer (he's mostly indie except for depressed teenagers who are obssesed with his writing)

charlie - switched his major aprox. 83972 times. after trying MANY jobs he settled on bartending + making/producing music. prob joined a few bands and got a small-ish cult following. 50 years after he died he got crowned musical genius n also a Bad Person™ and people die arguing about death of the author in debates abt him to this day

knox - finished some fancy law school but only really worked as a lawyer for maybe ? 2 years ??. before getting married (doesn't matter to who btw) and became a househusband (not a stay-at-home-dad tho bc he should NOT reproduce)

meeks - computer enineering major lingustics minor but got burnout and barely graduated . became a journalist that makes weird engineeringesque avant-garde art on the side.

pitts - chemical engineering major but ended up dropping out and just being a car mechanic. he's loving it tho

cameron - went to some ivy league, but his heart wasn't in it. after graduating he moved to a semi-small rural town in europe where he became an english teacher . and later principal

 ! bonus ! 

ginny - art major. was in a band with charlie but later got picked up for a role in a shitty student film, which kickstarted a successful acting career

chris - took a gap year to pursue professional cheerleading but hated it and went to culinary school. became a chef in a 5 star restaurant

[starcrime]

hiii i'm super bored, so here are dps sick headcanons

neil perry

seldom gets sick but when he does it hits him LIKE A TRUCK hates being sick he's allergic to penicillin so he feels very guilty about needing medication stubborn asf, will pretend he's fine for an annoying amount of time. will go to class watery eyed, sweaty, flushed red, shaking and half-delirious has to be forced to rest, but once that's managed he's very calm and sleeps through most of his sickness loves soup. his mom used to (and still does if he happens to get sick while he's home) make him some kind of special soup whenever he got sick and he loved it. give the boy some soup it will cure 99% of his illness.

todd anderson

gets sick frequently but goes through it pretty lightly he's never like, suffering, more like inconvenienced takes him such a long time though. he has never been sick less than a week fatigue hits him hard, he's falling asleep while standing gets pretty bad muscle pains and pretty irritable it makes him pretty snappy, which unfortunately, makes him funny asf, but no one can really laugh bc he's sick, that would be rude

charlie dalton

probably ate dirt as a kid so he's immune to all the germs, and doesn't get sick a lot but when he does his throat just... gives up on him. he looses his voice immediately i think since he barely gets sick the poets have no idea, so when one day he just shows up at breakfast dead silent they assume the apocalypse is near. gets really bad headaches. loud noises make his headaches worse. this is pretty ironic and funny to the other poets starts missing classes the second he can and doesn't come back until he's forced to by nolan himself would love being sick if it wasn't for the whole... being sick thing bc ouch... but like the attention is great

knox overstreet

gets sick at very unfortunate times, like just at the beginning of spring or during school breaks and weekends. convinced he's dying every. single. time. "This Is The End, Write Down My Will For Me Please... Please Call My Mommy, I Shall Bid My Farewell To Her..." to be fair he does get a horrible migraine every single time, so the guys are mostly forgiving of all of the bullshit inhales soup and tea with lemon&honey.

gerard pitts

his temperature spikes up by +0.1°C and immediately delirium hits him and it hits him HARD gets really emotional and cries a lot. mostly bc he loves his friends and animals and science hates taking medicine. you gotta hide it in his food bc he will not take it will not shut the fuck up, not even for a second. not even when he's sleeping (pray for meeks he's really going thru it), talks until he looses his voice also muscle pains get him soo bad, like his back and his legs are useless he can barely sit sometimes

steven meeks 

barely eats anything. all the food becomes repulsive to him and he has to be coaxed to eat literal toddler portions just so he doesn't starve. throws up a lot deathly pale + flushed cheeks and nose + teary, puffy eyes sleepy. hates it. hates missing classes and complains about it a lot. would over-medicate himself to get to go to class quicker luckily he can be easily distracted (mostly by crossword puzzles and music) charlie will go into his room and play saxophone for him sometimes <3

richard cameron

he technically has a pretty good immune system but he's so irrationally afraid of germs that he walks around in a medical mask during flu season to protect himself still gets sick though it's like a vibe check from god to stop fucking panicking like neil, he refuses to admit that he's sick and goes to class shivering, sweaty, and only half-lucid but he will go to class goddammit, gotta keep that perfect attendance somehow still believes that some painkillers would fix him. he almost overdosed once (or twice) has to be forced to rest and argues about it a lot he's hungry. all the time. could eat a five course meal and still be hungry. get my boy some sustenance, he's dying also gets migraines (he gets those anyways, they get way worse when he's sick though)

[starcrime]

charlie: i think we should kiss.

meeks: and i think you should die, but we don’t always get what we want.

(and then they kiss 𖹭)
