This sequence of photos shows Mr. Keating learning of Neil's situation over time.

In the first one, Neil's expressing his love for acting, and telling Mr. Keating that it's impossible to show his father what acting means to him. Mr. Keating's concerned for Neil, but is an optimist. He doesn't understand the terrible situation Neil is in, and believes that everyone can be changed for the better.

The next screenshot shows Mr. Keating talking to Neil about what he told his father, in regards to whether he's participating in the play or not. Mr. Keating has no reason to believe Neil's lying here, but can sense that Neil's desperation to act is growing. He suspects that something's going on with Neil, but doesn't have the heart to think that Neil's lying to him.

In the last scene, Mr. Keating witnesses Neil's father taking him away from the theatre, quite forcefully. Mr. Keating's not only scared for Neil, but sad because he realized that Neil lied to him. He finally saw the extent in which Neil needed to act, so much so that he'd lie to his mentors to do so.

No one saw his sucide coming, because Neil wouldn't let them. He suffered in silence, but contributed a yawp of a verse before leaving for better things.

do it. I dare you. look me IN THE EYE and tell me THIS man is STRAIGHT

lesbians stevebucky

lesbians stevebucky where bucky was a red cross nurse who got captured from her camp near the front lines, and steve tried enlisting multiple times despite not being male. then, as per america standards with their dumb little ploys, end up getting steve portrayed as a man for the war efforts after erskine found him for the serum.

like over the 70 years she was on ice, it comes out steve was a woman ( shocker ) and peggy and howard spends a good chunk of their lives making sure people still understand that that's the person who took out hydra, and so when steve walks up she's not really used to how people just /know/.

and then there's bucky who basically ended up being the mould for the red room, the most well trained and efficient winter soldier they'd had to date, who knew how to shoot very well thanks to her old life ( say, her family taught her to do things like that, and later was the sniper with a 'god-given talent' from cap's original team )

( stevie can be short for stephanie, but because of that he goes by steve according to the 'comics' while james can be a girls name and while bucky is arguably GN, we can pretend bucannon is too )

Reading Mockingjay as an adult is extra devastating because. Of course the plucky teenager and her ragtag friends aren't going to sneak into a government building to kill the president with a bow and arrow. That's absolutely ridiculous. It's the kind of thing that's only possible in the kind of propaganda that Coin developed. But she's so good at it that in some ways she tricks the reader into thinking that's the kind of story this is, too--even after 3 books reminding us that pretty much everything that Katniss does the second she volunteers is manipulated by adults pulling strings to make propaganda in some form or another.

Stick

I rewatched Dead Poets Society and realized how much of Stick we see.

HE'S A PART OF THE CEREMONY!

MY (BLURRY) BOY IS RIGHT THERE!

HE'S THE FIRST ONE TO STAND UP AND FOLLOW MR. KEATING!

HE'S MESMERIZED BY MR. KEATING'S LESSON! LOOK AT HIS FACE!

HE WAS LAUGHING AT CHARLIE'S JOKE HERE! HE WOULD'VE HEARD ABOUT THE DPS!

HE WAS CLAPPING FOR NEIL WHEN HE GOT CAST AS PUCK!

HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO CLAP FOR TODD AFTER HE RECITED HIS POEM!

HE WAS WAITING TO CHECK ON CHARLIE!

HE ATTENDED STORYTIME WITH THE POETS!

HE WAITED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH CHRIS...

...AND FOLLOWS KNOX TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT!

HE STOOD WITH THE CLASS IN HONOUR OF MR. KEATING!

I HAD to add these:

i accidentally napped and had a dream (nightmare?) where a new update for stardew valley released where everything was the same except on a random day in year 3 Evelyn would just straight up die. There was a whole cutscene that started in her house where she collapsed, and then transitioned over to the hospital where Harvey gave George and Alex the worst news of their lives. However, they got to speak to her where she said something along the lines of "Yoba will protect me, and I am sure he will let me watch over you."

Alex and George would not talk to the player for more than a few words for a full season after this event. George would spend most of his time in the bedroom, so if you had less than 2 hearts with him, you could barely ever speak to him.

And Alex... oh my god, poor Alex. If you were married to him during this event, he just stayed in bed all day. Otherwise, if single, he would just stand on the beach most of the time, staring off into the ocean. If you tried to interact with him, it would just say "Alex is grieving... Better leave him be."

There was also other NPC dialogue like mayor Lewis saying "I haven't seen the community in this state of mourning since your grandfather passed..."

there was also a glitch where you could make Evelyn live forever and there were entire guides for the "immortal Evelyn glitch" that got patched out in the next update. If you tried to perform the glitch after the patch, mr. Qi would tell you that "hey, it happens to all of us. We can't prevent it, and neither can you, no matter how hard you try."

reblog to give Neil a hug

i lied. put your clothes back on. we are gonna watch dead poets society and i’m gonna explain to you the relationship between todd and neil, analyzing every interaction, every mention of them, highlighting the importance of their relationship to the movie and to all the characters in general.

Thomas Perry was Neil Perry’s undoing, and his doom. He had killed Neil before Neil ever had a chance to live, as we know, cut flowers can only live a short while before they wilt unless they’re helped to extend their life. But they cannot be saved, and they will die before their rightful time.

They will die before they’d have died had they been left in the healthy ground they were to flourish in.

Neil Perry died young, a teenager. He was a cut flower, stem in water.

His father pulled him from the ground and left him to wilt, watched him with hardened eyes like a wilting flower will be able to do anything more than wilt.

It was his friends, acting and Mr Keating that acted as water to keep him going after Mr Perry had ripped him from the ground.

That night of the play, Mr Perry angrily pulled Neil from the water that had been keeping him going, and left him his final hours to wilt and die.

regulus black got asked to be james' boyfriend on january 4th, 1976, his fifth year and the day the sun was closest to earth. he thought it was always meant to be like that.

and he died on july 5th, 1979. the day the sun was farthest from earth. with his last breath, he realised it was also always meant to be like that.
