Intro 🩷

Shoutout to @boygeniusmemes, this is me everytime I rewatch the movie.

finally....i have the whole week

splenda

my body's made of Splenda packets

mostly pink, some yellow too

you wanna tear me open

to sweeten things for you

i always end up dirty

and torn up on the floor

once you rip the paper

there ain't sweetness anymore

and i'm all artificial

though I know I may seem true

cause Splenda's made from sucralose

chlorine and hatred too

so why not just take sugar?

it would spare us all the hurt

cause Splenda's far too sweet

and the wrappers end up in the dirt

ABHORRENT song choice but....

Why should I watch dead poets society..?

It is a beautiful film both in terms of the visual storytelling and the actual writing and themes

It has romantic subplots but overall centers friendship

It speaks to the human experience as a whole but especially to artists, the sacrifices and pain that come with passion

Standout acting performance by Robert Sean Leonard both in the film itself and the play within it

It genuinely helped me want to live during a difficult time in my life and reminds me to KEEP living and to stick to my morals and passions despite convention and tradition

guys why is he so gender im gonna cry

I WANT TO GET TO KNOW MY COMMUNITY PLEASE

SEND ASKS I'M BORED AND WANNA TALK TO Y'ALL

boys are evil and don't appreciate art

it's absolutely soul crushing to share a piece of media with someone who doesn't appreciate it. i often find it difficult to connect with my younger brother without having shared media to discuss. so I finally showed him my favorite movie, dead poets society of course, and his reaction was to call Neil stupid and say that the overall film was "ok, kinda funny sometimes". meanwhile I had cried twice and was shaking and sobbing.

it's ok. he's not an artist. it didn't move him the way it moved me and it doesn't have to. and yet I find myself disappointed and upset that he'll never want to "carpe diem" or suck the marrow out of life. that he'll never let out a barbaric yawp or be good REALLY good.

i dunno. just thoughts
