once again i dont know who made this (if you do pls lmk so i can credit) but i found it on my pinterest and its so accurate 

Larry Sultan Portrait of My Father with Newspaper, 1988 Chromogenic print 28 5/8 x 34 5/8 inches

"'Do you fall in love often?' Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends with complete strangers, with nothing at all."

- Jeanette Winterson, Gut Symmetries

I- gale... you’re done. you’re done. 

Just realized that there's probably a lot of dps fans here on Tumblr that don't follow Gale Hansen on Twitter and didn't see him tweet this the other day so here you go

no bc why was dylan so funny in the broadway diner vlog... the way he absolutely came for ethans neck without hesitation bye 💀

here is my headcanons for which taylor swift album would be each of the dead poets favourite and why. 

neil perry: folklore 

- i feel like this is self explanatory

- literally taylors rendition of shakespeare 

- it has incredible storytelling and lyricism which neil is a sucker for and also big escapism energy, which lets be honest is one of the reasons neil loves acting so much

- its cottagecore meets magic/fairy vibes which imo is neil to a T 

- ‘mirrorball’ was literally written about him 

- his favourite song is ‘cardigan’

- he has definitely cried while listening to ‘this is me trying’ 

todd anderson: evermore and red

- sad boi hours 

- lets face it todd is one of those people who loves to cry. he likes to go somewhere quiet to just sit alone and let it all out and these two albums are his go to for that 

- he’s also a hopeless romantic at heart so all the love songs hit him in all the best ways (hes definitely a secret stay stay stay stan)

- mans is a poets so he loves good lyricism. between ‘all to well’, ‘state of grace’, ‘champagne problems’, ‘coney island’, ‘evermore’ and a bunch more, both these albums knock it out of the park. 

- ‘gold rush’ was literally written about todd the minute he laid eyes on neil

- his favourite season is autumn

charlie dalton: reputation 

- this man loves people standing up for themselves 

- he definitely cried listening to the album knowing taylor was doing better after what happened to her

- this man HATES bullies. (thanks to nolan and his dad)

- he definitely screams ‘this is why we cant have nice things’ at the top of his lungs whenever it comes on 

- his favourite song is ‘don’t blame me’ (he definitely has a thing for religious undertones when it comes to sex) 

- he’s a ‘getaway car’, ‘cruel summer’, ‘august’, ‘gold rush’ stan

- he secretly really likes all the love songs (don’t tell the other poets) and he sometimes listens to ‘gorgeous’, ‘call it what you want’ and ‘delicate’ when he’s alone and daydreams about meeks like a lovesick puppy

steven meeks: fearless and lover

- meeks and pitts are fearless stans all the way. they definitely became swifties during fearless era so it has sentimental value and they also just LOVE her country stuff

- meeks also adores lover. he thinks its some of her best work and he also just loves how happy and good vibes it is, while still being so lyrically and sonically impressive 

- hes definitely a sucker for a good fairytale romance so his favourite song is ‘love story’. he’s just glad romeo and juliet could have a happy ending for a change 

- paper rings is his favourite song off lover and he can’t not dance if it comes on. he also made charlie and him matching paper rings when the album came out. 

- meeks loves his family a LOT so ‘the best day’ also has a special place in his heart

gerard pitts: fearless

- he and meeks joined the fandom in fearless era so its very nostalgic for him 

- pittsy loves taylors country vibes and he’s secretly also a debut stan 

- his favourite song is ‘the other side of the door’. he sings along to the bridge and outro at the top of his lungs every single time

- he definitely went through an intense country music phase at some point bc of taylor but in the end only her stuff really stuck long term. 

- he’s hoping for her to make another country album some day 

(fanon) knox overstreet: 1989

- this man loves pop music. but not just popular music, music that sounds like proper GOOD pop.  

- ‘style’ is definitely his favourite song 

- he also loves ‘out of the woods’ and thinks the bridge is a masterpiece. he definitely accidentally got deep into the vehicular manslaughter theory

- at some point he tried using ‘how you get the girl’ to actually get a girl

-  he thinks ‘shake it off’ is amazing and will come after anyone who disses it

- cried the first time he listened to clean (i feel like his sister went through some kind of mental illness) 

ADHD Neil Headcanons

Has a hyperfixation on theatre.

If you change your tone even slightly, you can see him start to get upset.

It looks as if he's got great coping mechanisms, but he's actually really good at masking.

Gets really burnt out on a night and so everyone knows not to disturb him, especially after dps meetings.

Will cuddle with Todd when he's burnt out.

Has a wall of sticky notes to remind him to do everything.

Needs routine otherwise he gets quite anxious, so the poets all know to tell him exactly what's happening in the day and where they will all be at certain times.

Never remembers what's for dinner, no matter how many times he's told.

Gets really loud when he's excited, especially in Keating's classes. (Same with Charlie)

He'll randomly shout a line from a poem or a play relating to what you just said.

Doesn't go non verbal very often but it has happened.

He learnt sign language for when Todd goes non verbal because of his autism.

Cameron actually had healthy coping mechanisms for some of his autism symptoms, so he helps Neil study because he knows how to break the work down so it's not overwhelming.

They all have a collection of fidget toys. (Charlie and Todd have the biggest collections, and they've made it a competition as to who has the better collection.

They all get extra time, so in exams they're all sat in the same room which is actually really helpful because it means they can give each other little thumbs up and smiles. (Yes my friends do this for me, it's very nice to know someone is checking up on you)

Thank you for reading!
