Richard Cameron - Tumblr Posts

Is it just me or do Cameron and Pitts actually seem like really good friends?

Besides Pitts constantly hanging around Meeks he seems to spend the rest of his time around Cameron.

Just thought I’d point it out because I think it’s nice.

dead poets' society modern(ish) headcanons

Most of these are school related because I'm going back to college next week. (most of these are things my friends or I have done.)

Todd:

 has definitely written fanfiction for his creative writing assignments in English.

definitely has a semi-popular poetry account on TikTok/tumblr

Enters his poetry/writing into competitions and stuff when he gets a little bit more confident 

Loved by the dinner ladies

Eats the most heinous food combinations like beacon and fish finger sandwiches, just the most questionable foods. 

Neil:

Has  walked into the set during a show because he  had to perform without his glasses.

His drama teacher's favourite student.

Most popular boy in the class

On the school newspaper 

Kissed Todd for the first time during the intermission of one of his plays and was so flustered after he almost missed his cue.

Charlie:

Banned from the library 

Ran against Cameron for school council/class president (they tied.)  

Him and Cameron actively hate each other but outright refuse to be separated from each other.

Has been kicked out of Assembly multiple times.

Music is his best subject

Banned from giving people dares in truth or dare

Cameron

Debate team captain

On the track team

The kid teachers sit bad students next to, in hopes they behave.

He was sat next to Charlie in every lesson in year nine  for that exact reason.

This quickly changed when Charlie started to influence Cameron instead of the other way round.

Goes to homework club.

Meeks

Almost flooded his bathroom after trying to see if he could  use oil to plug his sink.

Can’t swim but can hold his breath underwater for 2 minutes 

Hates sand

Taught himself and Pitts morse code.

Gets really competitive during kahoot

Loves halloween, plans his and Pitts duo costumes months in advance.

Pitts 

Freakishly good at table tennis

Can solve a rubix cube in under a minute

Top set for science 

Double jointed

Always being asked to help teachers get things because he's the  tallest in his year.

Terrible at Geography, like could not locate Canada on a map to save his life.

Knox 

Broke his arm doing a cartwheel for a dare.

Can’t tell the difference between admiration and romantic interest for the life of him 

Fully had a crush on Charlie in year ten but just thought he REALLY wanted to be his friend.

Plays football

He tried out   for rugby to impress Chris, it did NOT go well.

Gets detention for riding his bike to school without a helmet.

leave a ship or fandom suggestions and I’ll do headcanons for them if you want :)

THIS ‼️‼️

guys cameron might be one of my faves. i just KNOW i would love being around that guy, like someone who helps u with homework? he feels like he would be a really calming presence. he gets a bad rap!! his only moment of intense outburst is after neils death, in his grief. i would rlly like to get coffee with him i think. he would have very passionate opinions about life disguised under his small talk.

HEADCANON ACCEPTED

UHM

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???

How the hell did I not find this

Adds lore to my headcanon of Richard Cameron having a baby brother he deeply cares and loves

DAMN

Ladies and gentleman, Cameron.

We all hate mr. Perry

Got this dead poets society picture book, it's full of stills from the movie with some quotes and even some poems from Walt Whitman at the end 🥲🥲 there's even Todd's poem 😭😭😭 I love it so much, here's some pictures of it, it's in french tho

Click to see the photos better (I wish I could have scanned)

Here's some more

Some more stills from the DPS picture book, click to see the photos better (I wish I could have scanned them 😭)

Here's the first part

physically i am here

mentally i am in a cave with my 7 friends a few miles away from the boarding school we are forced to be at by our parents reading poetry to each other

Charlie: Of course I support Cameron’s rights.

Charlie: Cameron’s right to shut the fuck up.

this was funnier in my head

So, in mr. Keating's class there are 4×5 sites, and they are all taken. That means the poets are 35% of their class.

You didnt need that information, but I did the maths and had to share

Im sorry

My rule is to wach dps if:

I have a bad day

It autumn

Its December

I need to stay awake

I miss the film

I forgot the melody keating whistles

I just want to

I prefer to cry about neil than to think about reality

I dont have school the naxt day

I read Shakespeare (cause i do that now, apparently)

I think its funny, because they are almost 70 years older than me and the pupils in my class, but i know that if they were my age nowadays, the poets would fit in perfectly

I think they spelled dead poets society wrong
