wise words from our lord and saviour maggie stiefvater
Do you guys think that at night in Vietnam, Meeks would recite the lines of poetry he remembered to remind him of the friends waiting for him at home but also the one he may be seeing once again?
i will never forgive allelon for this but oh well
Can’t believe I had to pay to apply for university, pay to accept the offer, and now I have to pay tuition. Madness.
Gansey: i don’t want to tell anyone that blue and I are in a relationship cause it could change the dynamic of our group and possibly make things awkward since she and Adam used to date
Adam, kicking down the door: BITCH YOU WONT BELIEVE WHO I JUST MADE OUT WITH
Gansey: who?
Adam: RONAN!!!
Gansey, about to have a fucking stroke: what
The dead poets society when you ask “is water wet?”
Neil: Fully believes water is not wet, has no evidence, has a brutal (but friendly) argument with Charlie about it. It gets ugly. They start pulling out the yo mama jokes.
Todd: Stands there really confused, like a deer in headlights, immediate panic no thoughts head empty
Charlie: Fully believes water is wet, has no evidence, ends up losing the argument because Keating agrees with Neil.
Knox: “…water…*is* the wet…?”
Meeks: “Well the definition of wetness is when water adheres to the surface of a material, so you could make the argument that water is wet because it is a bunch of water molecules that touch other water molecules, but that would also mean that a singular water molecule is dry, because it doesn’t have any other water molecules on it to make it wet.”
Pitts: *cries*
Cameron: *tries to agree with Charlie but gets told to shut the fuck up*
Keating: Laughs a little bit because what kind of silly question is that, but he thinks about it for a second and decides that no, water cannot be wet in the same way that dirt cannot be dirty, or dust cannot be dusty- things can be dusty if they have dust on them, but you wouldn’t take a handful of dust and say “wow this dust is super dusty.”
a memory
Unpopular ship opinion. Cameron/Charlie could have a great romance written about them from antagonistic reluctant friends, to eventually being in love. Why am I actually so into this idea?
YES! I totally imagine that. They would realize that they’re not that different. Once they get that out of the way, they really start to click. They would start out all awkward, not knowing how to act. But they learn to appreciate each other for who they are.
I can't tell you not to buy a welton sweater as I just ordered one two days ago and I have no regrets. So do it. Carpe Diem.

no, because, let’s talk about this-
PITTS’ SIGNATURE
So I got inspired by @stephen-meeks-pal’s post and decided to take it a step further...

i made another uquiz!!!! pls take it if u like the goldfinch/the secret history :)
gd. richard gansey iii is literally Such a deeply bizarre dude. this short WASP kid from a wealthy and respected political family really just said nope to all of that and decided to be a 15 year old hitchhiker bum in europe entirely alone from all of his family and spend his teenage years hyperfixating on an obscure piece of welsh history because he resurrected from the dead and he thinks that the dead king from celtic mythology saved his life. he comes to aglionby like, yes i am likeable and perfectly normal, i am neurotypical, i am a generic richboy who is excellent at social cues and societal norms, you will all love me, my near-obsessive hyperfixation with an obscure mythical ruler due to severe ptsd and a near-death experience (about which i claim i did in fact die, and came back to life) is super normal, it is so unremarkable and normal of me to think that said long-dead king actually didn’t die at all but he came to a tiny little town in southern virginia to go to sleep for a couple hundred years and this is absolute fact in my mind, i am the posterboy for WASP politics men when they are teenagers. like what do they all think of him.
I would like to congratulate greta thunberg on being the only funny person on twitter
this lil theory of mine isn’t supported by strong bases but its the hill imma die on
todd anderson, 1959 (dead poets society)

after having his life changed by an english teacher, todd decided to pursue the same career, hoping to inspire younger generations the same way he was inspired with the beauty that words confine.
Richard Cameron is Not a Bad Dude
aka. headcanons
He has deep repressed feelings for Charlie Dalton. I will die on this hill. Charlie goes around flirting with the poets and Richard absolutely hates how easy he makes it look, and he hates that Charlie keeps putting himself out there because he’s right here so why would he need to flirt with anyone else?? But he can’t express that because he’s Cameron so he tries to make Charlie stop by acting like a dick.
Cameron’s dad is similar to Neil’s, but his mom is more affectionate (only when he behaves correctly though). He obviously is feeling a lot of pressure from somewhere, but, unlike Neil, whose family is determined to hate him no matter what, Cameron’s family has expressed approval and affection when he brings home all As or talks about how badly he wants to be whatever they want him to be. He feels there’s something in it for him if he lives how they want him to, whereas Neil doesn’t ever see himself being enough.
Neil’s death scared the shit out of him. He was finally beginning to open up and feel like a part of the Dead Poets, but when Neil died, ultimately because of his father, Cameron knew that could be him if he kept acting this way and hanging out with the Poets. That’s why he kept talking about self-preservation, he wanted them to understand how important conformation was. In his mind, he was taking care of his friends. He didn’t want them to die.
Sometimes he tries to come out to Charlie. “Hey, Charlie?” “Yeah Dick?” “I told you not to- never mind.” pause “How do you do it?” “Do what? I do a lot of things.” “You know, flirt with everyone... you make it seem so easy.” “Richard Cameron, are you asking me for advice?” “Eat shit, Dalton. Forget it.”
The whole “I love the clarinet” was an attempt to impress Charlie. It evidently did not work.
After that crazy year, Cameron’s mental health declined hugely. He got a taste of genuine happiness and was basically slapped in the face by life. He didn’t really believe in what his parents wanted anymore, but he was too scared to pursue his own desires.
once again stating that NEIL AND CHARLIE FUCKED!
when you hate richard cameron’s life decisions but also kind of like him because he has the potential to be a good person:
