Dead Poets Society (1989) dir. Peter Weir

thinking about el getting into arts and crafts in lenora.

thinking about el learning how to make friendship bracelets.

thinking about el making tons of friendship bracelets for max and sending them to her each month.

thinking about max coming home from a particularly bad day at school and seeing a package and just forgetting about everything bad for a moment.

thinking of max not knowing how to make friendship bracelets so instead she sends el her scrunchies.

thinking about them carrying pieces of eachother's love everywhere.

screaming, sobbing, sliding down a wall.

SO- Like I don't really interact with DSMP outside of fanfiction anymore but! I just had the CUTEST idea ever its wndjwnkaaknejr /pos so!

We have Bee (Tubbo) and Boo (Ranboo) but what about Tommy? So I was thinkin about how hes often associated with insects or 'ugly' animals sooooo i present ✨ Bug ✨

Listen.. Bug, Bee and Boo. I adore it, he deserves his own nickname OK. Its the triple B's

ALSO Tubbo has deffo done those duo team names and called them 'Bug-a-Boo' to which he got smacked in the face by Tommy LMAO

(If anyone has another cute matching nickname please tell me! 🙏 I need it in my life)

Babe wake up, new Percy Jackson just dropped

I can't believe people are still shitting on Piper Mclean and calling Piper powerless and shit like SHE COULD MAKE YOU KILL YOURSELF WHY ARE WE FORGETTING THAT?!?!?!

I miss beeduo

Wilbur made another Reddit post about Ghostbur. No exclamation point today

Hey guys! Got some good news!

Ghostbur isn’t dead. Ghostbur is suspended. He’s never had a ‘living’ body and never will but to say he is dead is a misrepresentation.

Ghostbur is as close to a torturous limbo as he can possibly get. He has been in the afterlife for almost 6000 days! (That’s 16 years) and it never seems to get easier.

Not only is he confined to a life of loneliness and silent darkness but every ache, every pain, every little sting he feels on his body never seems to subside. He hurt his fingers scratching a wall over a decade ago but they still feel raw as if it was yesterday.

But that’s not pertinent to his current situation. That’s the last injury Ghostbur was afflicted with. He has spent the past years sat, limply leaning against the damp wall. Even if he was to retain any injury he contracted it wouldn’t matter.

He hasn’t moved in years.

He hasn’t checked the dot matrix out of fear. The room lights up whenever it updates and Ghostbur scrunches his eyes up as tight as he can until the light fades a few hours later.

This also helps dam the tears from burning his cheeks as he himself is damned to this plane.

He has spent 5 months on the material plane. He has spent 16 years in limbo.

A new addition to Ghostbur’s horrific existence is the slow burning of his memory. As time elapses he seems to lose track of his good memories as well as the bad ones he forgot long ago. Only a few remain;

He remembers the smell of baked bread.

He remembers sparring with technoblade as a child.

He remembers the crowds and the loud cheers.

He remembers a guillotine.

He remembers a cold eternal icy wasteland.

He remembers Tommy’s kindness.

One thing remains true. Ghostbur is the remnant of a plighted man who was sentenced to death for his evil. Ghostbur’s situation is a result of that man’s return.

Ghostbur feels guilty. Ghostbur misses everyone.

Goodbye

c!Tommy was never a vengeful character. He didn’t try to kill c!Dream to punish him for the pain he went through. Tommy wanted catharsis for his trauma and then a peaceful life afterwards. Even though he didn’t want to kill anyone (he says so to Tubbo in the finale, while theyre planning to attack Dream,) he thought it was the only choice he had.

Tommy didn’t want to kill. He didn’t want revenge. He only committed to it because he was convinced it was the only solution, the only way to find that catharsis and peace. Tommy’s happy ending was never about murder or revenge, but about healing from his trauma. Understanding Dream gave Tommy the catharsis he wanted. For him, it made it make sense. Does that mean he forgave Dream? Probably not, though it’s hard to know since the nuke came so soon after. But when Dream asked if it was too late, when he expressed for the first time a willingness to change, Tommy realized he didn’t have to kill for the catharsis & peace he wanted.

It’s not an ending that’s for everybody, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like the finale, there’s a million other shows and books you will like. But I loved it. To me, there’s no happy ending more powerful than kindness, empathy, and understanding being more powerful than anything else. Even if the loss of the old server & memories after the nukes and the Incident is tragic, to me that only makes the finale bittersweet. I’ll always enjoy a story about compassion over a story about just revenge, especially when it’s so much more fitting to who Tommy is as a character.
