Annabeth Was Written As A Smart Blonde To Break The "dumb Blonde" Stereotype. Annabeth Being Black Is

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?

tumblr posts about writing bilingual characters: bilinguals DO NOT change their language in the middle of the conversation! It's unrealistic!

me, who said the phrase "i have beaucoup de friends" this morning:

@thecharliedalton the half a rick roll has been born.

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.

Meme idea

Photoshop the goose from untitled goose game into the background of a photo of a place where something bad happens, but it’s a photo of before the bad thing happening, so it’s implied that the goose caused it

Dead Poets Society and Mental Illness

I realise that this may come at a sensitive time due to the tragic and heartbreaking death of Robin Williams through depression and suicide, but I’ve had this on my mind for a long time, and I want to write it out to clear my head of it.

Todd and Social Anxiety. At the start of the film (and less so throughout) Todd is a very anxious, jittery fellow, who refuses to read poetry in front of other people, stammers a little and remains very quiet. These are all classic signs of Social Anxiety Disorder.

Neil and Bipolar Disorder. One minute, Neil is playing Puck and is so incredibly happy. The next, he is dead. Although Bipolar disorder generally takes longer than that to change between stages, some people do report that their Bipolar Disorder can se over a day or two. Just look at the rest of the film: Neil is either wildly passionate and reckless (eg. throwing the desk set over the bridge) or he is utterly blank and quiet (eg. when with his parents after the performance). I think he had, to some extent, Bipolar Disorder.

Charlie and Depression. Throughout the film, Charlie presents himself as a reckless, happy and funny character. However, I feel like he had depression. He was so reckless and unconsciously attention-seeking that he pulled that phone prank, consequences be damned, just for that tiny bit of attention. He cried when he told Todd of Neil’s death. He appears so internally broken in some scenes (“Damn it Neil, the name’s Nuwanda.” coming to mind) that I can’t help but think he was depressed. Due to his reckless and impulsive behaviours, I feel like Neil’s death would have shocked and damaged him as much as Todd, if not more. I mean, he punched a sneak knowing that he would be expelled. He had given up. Another sign of depression.
