I don't think they actually put much thought into it. They just ship Usagi with Arisu and use the "canon" excuse to put down other ships. I do ship Usagi and Arisu! And when I first came across Chirisu I was like "huh that makes no sense" but then later on a random night I started to think about it... until I couldn't stop thinking about it. Their dynamic is so interesting! Love both Usagi x Arisu AND Chirisu
HATE Chishiya x Niragi. Why would people want Chishiya to live a life like that.... Niragi is a terrible person with no room for redemption after SA'ing Usagi multiple times and most likely other women (which he probably wasn't interrupted during). Chishiya may be an asshole sometimes but he definitely doesn't deserve to have to be with a literally evil person. Chishiya has morals
Does anyone else ship Chirisu? Why can’t there be a gay ship?
Chirisu or Chishiya x Arisu is the most popular work in the fandom of Aib on AO3 but I don't hear many people talking about it. If they have, it has not been in a good way. There's nothing wrong with the ship, it's actually pretty cute and can have a lot of character growth with how Chishiya and Arisu interact. I'm writing a Chirisu fanfic currently but I still am not seeing a lot of the fandom talk about the ship because of the backlash of people continuing to say that either Arisu or Chishiya are "obviously" straight, and how since in canon Usagi is Arisu's love interest that Chishiya can't be in fanfiction or in a person's mind and it's caused quite the arguments. Isn't most of fanfiction about changing canon? Like isn't that the point of fanfiction?
Also on another note, I do NOT on ANY TERMS support Chishiya x Niragi.

I haven't done a post like this in a while, but I just came across a dps edit on Pinterest (not sure if the op made the edit, I've asked them for proper credit- will update if I get an answer) it was called "The Beauty of Dead Poets Society." Here:
(if you get a notif for my acc, dw I didn't doxx myself- it's an alt. just ignore it ^^)
Whether it was just the nostalgic visuals, the song playing in the background (September Song by the talented Agnes Obel), or a mix of both- it honestly invoked a different view of the film in me.
The story of these kids finding passion admist suppression - I applied it to a larger picture. I think that the whole film/book was an overarching metaphor that mirrors our lives as human beings living in modern societies.
We are the kids. No matter our ages. We all come from different backgrounds and have different specific struggles, but in the end, are our struggles as a whole that different? Look at Neil and Todd, for example. Todd is the other sibling; he'll never be his older brother in his parents and society's (the school's) eyes. He carries a burden and an immense amount of pressure. And Neil? Different situation. He is the golden/only child; he carries that on his shoulders as well. Although their situations can be deemed opposites, they both are similar in the way that society has put massive pressure on them. Sound familiar? Yeah, one of the main reasons most of the dps audience can relate to them so much (and ALL of the other kids) is because of how much of a burden our society throws on us even as we grew up.
Notice how there are so many different personalities in the students; from anxious Todd, confident Charlie, rule-follower Cameron, to even Hopkins (unleash your inner "a cat sat on the mat"), I feel like everyone watching the film can relate even in part to at least one of these characters. These kids are a perfect way to express different types of people put under societal pressure and how they react differently (more on that later)
Tumblr media
Queue Mr. Keating! Ah yes. I think we all have or will have a Mr. Keating in our lives. Mr. Keating symbolises pure inspiration. Our first and strongest taste of "what could be" if we only took the burden of society and threw it out the window. Despite the school (which represents society as a whole) trying to enforce its normalities and trying to fit us in a single tightly-packed conformity, we have that one inspiration admist the system that gives us passion. Does the system like this? No, not at all. This taste of freedom, that is already limited, is giving us reasons to be curious: "What could I become, who could I become, if I didn't conform?". Curiousity can be easily concealed, luckily. Confidence is what the people in control see first. Our "paces" change.
Tumblr media
Confidence mixed with curiosity is the most powerful weapon against a static society.
We all don't react the same to this mix. Some of us take a path of full rebellion. Those people are able to break out of the system successfully when they want to. This is the path that Charlie Dalton symbolises. All he needed was that spark of inspiration (again, represented by Mr. Keating) to completely face society head-on, smirking. He got expelled from the school on his own accord. (I will add, I'm not saying this path is easier than the others. How you react to inspiration does not equal the burden you took on prior or during exposure to it) Some also have a path of confidence- however, they don't make the best decisions with their new freedom. This is a result of being oppressed for so long; the explosive taste of "possibility" clouds their judgement. Knox, fortunately, learned along the way, as most people who take his path do.
Probably the most explored in the film: others, well, they don't face societal expectations head-on. They want to. With every fibre of their being, they need to. They can go on either path; play by the system's rules until they acquire more freedom (Todd), or give up. Neil; he couldn't break out of society, but he couldn't live in it either. His method of escape was not like Charlie's. Neil believed that society was a heavy curtain draped on all people and couldn't be lifted up to let them breathe. Suffocation. Many people take this path. We see it everywhere.
Dead Poet's Society is full of so many different paths taken by so many of the students and those around them - it's all to show how we react differently to the world's pressure and burden.
Inspiration (Mr. Keating) is a spark that spreads across so many of us. As I've discussed in a previous post, inspiration has no end; it can reach those who are bound to and/or enforcing the system (the Latin teacher). It reaches out to our lives; how we react to it and use it against its inverse- society (Welton/ the parents)- is dependent on all of our own individual paths (represented by the students). The Dead Poet's Society itself represents the people who dare take control of their lives with passion and inspiration. This "society", in every way, is what our society should be.
