"Modern" Dead Poets Society Headcannons pt. 5
Been a while since I did just a plain old headcannons so here we go.
The go to person for everyone in the group, Charlie needs help throwing away old shirts, he fashion shows them for Todd, Knox needs help with writing a poem, Todd's who he goes too. It started a few days after he befriended the group and no one has a true reason why they just go to him.
Wasn't allowed to watch Disney movies as a kid, so the poets do movie nights and make him watch all of the good ones (they stop after Turning Red). Todd's favorite films are Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin (Genie reminds him of Keating), and Mulan.
Really light sleeper, but able to fall asleep any and everywhere. Falls asleep in the common room once or twice a day, always curls in on himself sorta like a cat. Charlie and Neil have taken multiple photos of him, Neil thinks Todd looks so cute, and Charlie does it to embaress Todd.
Loves puzzles, both jigsaw and word puzzles, like word searches, crosswords, and more. Does them with Todd and is so proud when he gets an answer before Todd.
Loves getting matching items for him and Todd, mugs, slippers, notebooks, keychains, plushies, and more. Knows that having the exact same item for both of them isn't want Todd wants so the matching is always a Todd item and a Neil item, so green slippers for himself and blue for Todd.
Has the nichest vocal stims in the world, will say something and everyone looks at him so confused. He explains and even shows the video to the other Poets, but none of them have even heard of it before Neil said it.
Convinced that the poets could be an amazing boy band together. Has made an entire presentation on each boy's archetype in a boyband and how much money they could make.
Horrible screen time, on days off of school he spends upwards of 16 hours on his phone, once spent 20 hours on his phone and the reason why it wasn't 24 was because he was passed out for those final 4 hours.
Believes in some of the most batshit conspiracy theories out there, not normal ones like hollow earth or aliens. Like something that has no way of being true at all, but he is convinced it's true. (The poets can't tell if he's serious or just trying to fuck with Cameron).
Meditates on the regular, often times out by the lake as his room is not great for meditating with Charlie often being in there.
Never learned to ride a bike, his parents didn't see a reason for why he should learn it. The poets found out and helped teach him, Todd was his biggest cheerleader.
Does believe in Aliens and Ghosts, has no logical reason why he believes in them. Is terrified of being either haunted or abducted, but tells himself the chance of a ghost or alien picking him is very low.
D&D nerd, loves the fantasy settings and wants to get all the poets together to do a game.
A great secret keeper every secret that gets shared with him is automatically safe. However that still doesn't change the fact that he is nosy as fuck, when he started learning new languages, he loved hearing random conversations in the languages and learning the tea that was being shared.
Has a mystery scar on his arm, everyone has seen it, but no one truly knows what it's from not even Pitts. He's said it was a cat, rose bush, tree bark, and everything in between. Has told the truth once, but no one could tell. (This will be a later headcannon).
Ambidextrous, but has horrible handwriting with both of his hands. The right hand looks like chicken scratch, his left hand looks like chicken scratch in italics. Struggles to read it himself, once wrote the word 'hand' and it looked like 'help'.
AO3 user, has wanted to write fics for a while, but is worried of the curse. Meeks laughs at him, until Pitts tells him about the fic that every time the person started writing it someone would die.
He hates very few foods, but oatmeal, salt and vinegar chips, and hot dogs are his least favorite. Oatmeal is a texture thing that he can never get right, salt and vinegar chips are too acidic for him, and he once at so many hot dogs he threw up so he's vowed never again.
Contemplated getting a perm, Charlie had to politely tell him "Fuck no".
Has a mini book club with Todd, Cameron, and Meeks (occasionally if he's not too busy). They read share and even pick what books are going to be read each month. They have never missed a month, though Knox has only once not finished the book.
Was a dumbass little kid, believed chocolate milk came from brown cows, until at least 4th grade didn't know that cooties wasn't even real, and could never tell you his address or home phone number had neither of them memorized.
Hope y'all enjoy, like for pt6?
