I am a dead poet's society fan who is also a swiftie.

However, I did not watch the movie because of the album and I'm tired of all the people who are putting her down due to absolutely no reason?

Like, you might not like her music and I respect that wholeheartedly but if you think you are better than others because you don't like a popular artist and think ger music is 'basic' and it 'sucks' then please get a life. If you think she is a serial dater who only writes songs about her exes - then that's blatant mysogyny because 1. She doesn't, 2. Who doesn't.

I did not expect this from the dead poets society fandom. Hating a popular artist does not give you a personality please.

I dislike a lot of artists, some of them are popular but I have never made a single post about how seemingly shallow they are. I hate to break it to you, haters you are equally, if not much more obsessed with her than we are.

And she has written so. many. songs that are dead poets society coded (evermore, my tears ricochet, hoax, exile, the lakes, this is me trying, mirrorball, forever winter). She is a respected songwriter who can weave wonderful stories if you are willing to check them out.( if you think you could've written folkmore in your notes app - release the album king )( and no one is saying all her stuff is poetic- but a lot of it is )

The Dead Poets fandom is a sacred place abd it's not being overcome by 'shallow white girls' ( because everything a teenage girl likes has to be annoying and stupid ).

You do not become a more profound person by making hate posts all day. Makes you look extremely pathetic.

#this is what i was thinking #rb

the dead poets would not be swifties and i’m tired of pretending they would

#i believe none of them would be swifties #100% #i only have some of her song on my dps playlist #because i relate the lyrics to them or their situation #not because they’d listen to it lmao #dps #dead poets society #rb

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

#needed this <3 #just signed up for fall semester #and i ‘need’ to get a job #so i’m about to be wildly overwhelmed

rest in peace to the poor grad student who just sent me a message on discord from our english club who saw my name change to “certified twink collector”

#i’m so sorry andy LMAO #it’s worse when it’s someone you’ve met irl #that man has beta read my NOVEL #kaz posts #ranting

[taciturnpoet]

thank you for the tag <33

last song: chill - stray kids

favorite color - black or forest green my loves

currently watching - actually nothing right now??? i’m watching Bottoms for the first time tonight but i’m not actually in the middle of anything rn

sweet/spicy/savory - savory or sweet most of the time, definitely depends on my mood

relationship status - been with my partner for six months now as of this last monday!! :D

current obsessions - hozier, d&d, and a horror story i’m working on lol

no pressure tags: @pineapple-coffee @sevyn-stars and whoever else wants to :)

A tag game! I was tagged by @inflammatory thank you so much this was very fun! (I know I say this at the end of the post but I'm very sorry if I tagged you against your will, I get so scared) Last song: It was, when I first saw this, Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely by Hüsker Dü, but at time of writing it’s Christian Brothers by Heatmiser/Elliott Smith

Favourite colour: I don’t know and this has plagued me for a long time. I’m going to say either the colour of a Polar Blue PRS Silver Sky, or a navy blue that’s so dark it’s almost black, like the sort of colour I’d use to paint a night sky in Year 7.

Currently watching: I haven’t been watching a lot for the past week or so but on a slightly wider timeframe, Rushmore and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy in a heartbeat. Dreaming of wasabi peanuts as we speak

Relationship status: Never once before in my life but I have what, three different crushes at the moment? Too busy on the guitar grind to think much about them though

Current obsession: The Sandman comic. Making playlists (my March playlist is almost 8hrs long and I am so pleased with every single song on it). Benevolent Wikipedia editing. Neglecting schoolwork. Iced matcha. And of course the insatiable investigations of music history. Also obsessed with playing This Charming Man on guitar

No pressure tags, I always get scared tagging so I hope you don't mind: @danexist @finch-kid @martitheevans @beachghoulz @strangebrew and all the other mutuals I didn't mention for being deeply scared, and anyone else who wants to join !!

#i love these games #tag game #rb #my lovely mutuals

i need y’alls thoughts. i’m planning on writing fics for other fandoms as well as dead poets, but do i make a pseud on ao3 for each fandom so they’re mildly organized that way or just say fuck it and upload them all to the same account?

#i’m thinking supernatural and merlin currently? #maybe sandman too #dead poets society #dead poets fandom #the sandman #supernatural #bbc merlin #fanfic writing #ao3 author #ao3 #writer’s block #fandoms

[taciturnpoet]

not to get people’s hopes up too high but…i’m on break for a week and have the inspiration to actually write some of my longer fics 👀

#i promise i will be actually posting them soon #i’m not abandoning them #so you will get more writing from me lol #it’s just slow going #dead poets society #neil perry #todd anderson #anderperry #ao3 author #fanfic writing

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

#i’ll be honest #i’m glad someone is upset by this as i am #because these are genuinely good descriptors #but so many people take it literally or are guiding them cringey #just tell me you’re imagining this wrong and leave me be please #writing problems #rb

[taciturnpoet]

if you’ve noticed my tendency to be a lil more loosey goosey and/or off the fuckin walls here compared to my others socials there’s a reason for that. and the reason is this is the only place my mother does not actively seek out my content.

this hellsite is my final frontier and my only hope.

#this is the funniest fucking list #i have had the pleasure of telling my ex-catholic friend some of these too #it’s very entertaining #rb

[taciturnpoet]

I admit I am quite the fan of saying “okiedokie”

#i say this constantly #but i spell it differently like a fiend #rb

[taciturnpoet]

literally no better feeling than blurting out some loud dumbass joke with your buddies and hearing a total stranger ugly-snort-laugh as they walk past bc their own laughter caught them by surprise. find joy and connection in the spontaneity of strangers you son of a bitch. i fucking got your ass

[taciturnpoet]

i don’t wanna start handing out writing advice like im an authority on the subject bc im definitely not, buuuut

as a reader/writer, ive noticed there’s a whole lot of difference between a plot twist that makes you think “i didn’t see that coming” and a plot twist that makes you sit bolt upright in bed and scream at the top of your lungs “OH FUCK I SHOULDVE SEEN THAT COMING”

not to say the second one is better but. the second one is better
