Summary: Against his best efforts Charlie has to start at a new preparatory school after the tragic events that took place at Welton.

That is until he meets Evelyn and her interesting group of friends. No matter how hard he tries to push them away he finds it to be impossible. So he caves and in the end learns that life can still be enjoyable even if it feels like everyone is against you.

or

a story in which a 17 year old boy who feels like his life is over, discovers that it can still turn out alright in the end. All because he fell in love with a girl and rediscovered the hope he lost.

summer magic 🎀 ༊*·˚ - give me a character + a trope and i’ll write a little drabble about it

— academic rivals to lovers with charlie dalton 💓💕💓

ooh this is such a cute idea omg and it fits charlie so well!!! i did not proofread this though so it may be badly written 😭

you’ve always hated Charlie Dalton. hated his obnoxious habit to shout, his belief that he’s simply better than everyone and the way that he can achieve full marks on a paper which he didn't even study for. he's infuriating, to say the least. you think all this to yourself to pass the time as you've finished answering the test. Charlie Dalton has been on your mind a lot lately. you can't imagine why.

to take your mind off him you let your eyes dance around the classroom. most of your class is still laser-focused on the test, even Charlie is still staring at the paper. he looks rather nice without that characteristic smirk drawled across his face. his pretty brown hair falls lightly across his forehead. his eyes have softened and seem almost warm in the golden lighting. it’s at that moment that you realise something the duffer that is Charlie Dalton is good-looking. you think part of you may have always known this but looking at him now makes your breath catch in your throat.

you feel someone’s eyes on you, it’s Charlie’s eyes and he’s caught you admiring him. he’s smirking at you and oh goodness that shouldn’t be as attractive as it is. you feel blood rush to your cheeks and you are certain you’re the colour of a strawberry. and because it is Charlie Dalton he decides that you’re not suffering enough because he winks at you. if you weren’t red before you certainly are now. you frantically turn away and focus on your paper. attempting to ignore the way you can feel his hot gaze remain on you.

you’re never gonna hear the end of this.

"Damn it, Neil. The name is Nuwanda."

I want to talk about the queer coded symbolism and mise-en-scene in Dead Poets Society, and now you're probably thinking 'yes we all ship neil and todd' and yes that's true, but not what i mean.

Nuwanda is a trans woman! Let's get into it.

(i apogolize if my use of pronouns are confusing. i refer to nuwanda as he/him when he's at welton because the boy atmosphere and his part in that creates such a deep meaning to his experience as a person slowly figuring out through poetry that he might be a trans woman. especially in this tight knit friend group consisting of "boys with emotions". that's why i use she/her pronouns when talking about her getting closer and closer to figuring herself out) (also this is my own interpretation of the film so i can do what i want)

First off! When Charlie announces that he's changing his name to Nuwanda, no one questions him. The laddies adapt to it immediately and start calling him Nuwanda, for the simple reason that he asked them to.

Second, Nuwanda invited two girls to the cave and literally all he did was borrow their lipstick and change his name? Nuwanda said he wanted to learn about and read poetry because he 'wanted to make women swoon' but in reality he was a woman who gravitated towards learning about femininity, wanting to compensate for the fact that he actually identifies with womanhood.

For a character saying he wanted to woo women, he shows absolutely no interest in women what so ever. I genuinely think the writing shows such a complex relationship between gender and internalised transphobia/compulsory heterosexuality.

(I personally do believe that Nuwanda is heterosexual, but i believe he's a heterosexual trans woman and he's in the process of figuring that out through poetry and that's so beautiful!!!!)

All the boys hate Welton and they continuously joke about getting themselves expelled, but no one actually means it. Nuwanda was the only one actually risking his place at Welton and he did it writing an article saying that women should be accepted into welton. He risked his place at Welton and for what? Because 'he wanted a girlfriend'?

No! He was the only one who actually risked his place at Welton because he doesn't belong but he desperately wants to, and if women were to be accepted into Welton, Nuwanda will be too. He would rather get expelled, and did in the end, because that's a woman trying to save her own fucking life. Nuwanda really said 'accept women into Welton or i walk'.

There's also a scene where they're all in class, just walking around, literally, on Professor Keating demands, and it holds so much power for the reading of Nuwanda being a trans woman. Professor Keating says they all need to 'walk their own path' and to not follow the paths already made. Everyone starts walking and they all do it differently, except for Nuwanda. Nuwanda stays behind and says "I'm exercising my right not to walk" and Professor Keating looks at him proudly.

All the boys start walking whereas Nuwanda stays behind, distancing himself from making his own path as a man. Nuwanda was exercising his right not to participate in walking through life as a man. it's such a wonderful wonderful wonderful scene and i love her so much.

There's also the way Nuwanda dresses. Nuwanda starts changing his style throughout the film and you cannot tell me he conforms to the societal norms of a boy his age, at welton, meant to get into an ivy league school after graduation. He's slowly experimenting with his gender expression throughout the film, being fascinated by lipstick, changing his hair, trying on different hats, etc. It' so subtle but at the same time it's so big.

There's also the scene where Nuwanda gets punished by the headmaster. The punishment is a spanking and he has to lean over the headmasters desk and pull down his pants, and the headmaster is behind him. There's a clear power imbalance between the headmaster and Nuwanda, almost as if Nuwanda is the woman in that scene while a man abuses him the way he would abuse a woman. The punishment is inherently a feminization of his character, making him lean over and strip him off his power and being at the mercy of a man. The scene draws from female trauma and the power of men, while projecting it onto Nuwanda's character, creating more symbolism as to why Nuwanda is a trans woman.

Another scene, the coach comes into the changing rooms and yells:

"Let's go boys, hussle up in here! That means you Dalton!"

Dalton, Nuwanda, is standing in front of the mirror and combing his hair. None of the other boys do, they all tussle and fix their hair with their hands and then they're good. Nuwanda cares about how he looks and the coach is telling him, specifically, that he needs to man up.

These are the main reasons i believe Nuwanda left Welton and finally could start living her life as a woman. Especially considering the end of the film, Neils fate and how it represents the importance of being yourself and finding your own voice. There's so much in the subtext that indicate a queer and/or trans reading of the film. In the mise-en-scene, in the manuscript, symbolism, etc.

(Image of Nuwanda, showing his chest covered in lipstick, a feminine gender expression. He's removing his tie, which literally ties him to the man people want him to be.)

Dead Poets Banner Theory

I thought this was kinda obvious on my second watch, but I haven't seen anyone bring it up yet.

One of the very first shots of the film is the boys bringing out the 4 banners. It is clearly shown that Cameron is carrying tradition, Knox is carrying discipline, Neil, excellence, and Charlie, honour.

These obviously represent their character traits. Cameron is very traditional and rigid, Neil is always put on a high pedestal of excellence, and Knox lacks discipline when it comes to love.

What I find interesting is that when the boys walk out, Charlie is no longer there. Whilst it's probably just a random discrepancy, I'd like to think of it as him losing any remainder of his honour after his expulsion.

Later, they recite the altered four pillars. Cameron, travesty. Nothing goes his way, he's heartbroken. Charlie, horror. Self explanatory. Knox, decadence. He is incredibly self-indulgent and lives for pleasure and romance. Finally, Neil is excrement. I see it as quite simply, when you die your bowels get flushed out. Guess what damn happens to Neil.

Anyways that was all, I'd love to hear some thoughts on it! I have a ton more things I've noticed in a google doc so tell me if you'd like to see them I love analysing things :))

Can’t stop

Is there’s something wrong?

Something wrong with me?

Because I can’t feel fulfilled

I can’t stop to breathe

I need to achieve and achieve

I need to always go beyond

Beyond everyone else

Because if I’m not at the top

Why bother at all?

That’s why I can’t stop

I can’t stop to breathe

To collect what I broke to complete

To fill my lungs and exhale

To rest my head in your chest

I not know how to rest

Because to rest means to fail

Fail to achieve

Fail to conceive

Fail to be who I could’ve been

If I only worked a little more

If I only slept a little less

If only I was a lot lot different than the rest

If only I loved myself

Can we go back to the 2012 SuperNationals karting competition in Vegas please? I'm sure we all knew Lance beat George but he also beat Dalton AND Logan Sargeant? And Colton Herta? Also Marino Sato who used to do F2 and now does WEC. Also Pato O'Ward, Max Verstappen, and Charles Leclerc were in other series?

#Lance stroll #george russell #god I miss Lance dominance bring it back #logan sargeant #dalton sargeant #colton herta #Marino sato #pato o'ward #max verstappen #charles leclerc #Kyle Kirk wood might've also been there too?#sometimes I forget how interconnected every f1 driver is because Logan won the junior karting championship in 2015 and went to the FIA gala #and then he got a picture with Max Verstappen since Max was rookie of the year in his first F1 season #like? and then he got a picture with Nico Rosberg?#and all 3 f1 drivers in that screenshot started their f1 careers in Williams lmao #George's number never changed 🥲
