Todd X Neil - Blog Posts

Neil Perry becomes a flustered mess whenever the mention of kissing or sex is brought up, but is the most tactile person on the planet. Adores and gives out hugs like they are going out of fashion.

Todd Anderson, on the other hand, his cheeks are on fire every single time without fail. Whenever someone initiates physical intimacy with him. But on the other hand, he is easily capable of kissing, making out, etc, as long as he's comfortable with the person.

Getting with Neil helped Todd's confidence tremendously because if he wanted a kiss or something more, he'd have to be the one to initiate it.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) // HOUSE M.D. (2004-2012)

My contribution to @fluffbruary 2025 I don't know if I'll do another day, and this is technically a day late, but here it is.

Day 1

I used dark and wander, but it ended up having a mind of its own.

Words: 550

Ship: Neil x Todd

There were just some things about Neil that Todd would never be able to understand about him. Like how he was able to light an entire room up and make the most boring topics some of the most interesting and many more things he found himself cherishing anyway, which is why he found himself wandering through the woods in the middle of the night with Neil clinging to his arm, which Todd could just make out he was beaming from the way the moonlight was hitting his face.

‘Neil, baby, where are we going?’ Todd asked, placing a gentle kiss to his neck when they suddenly stopped in a clearing. Neil looked just as lost as Todd was feeling but he still had the brightest smile on his face that continued to melt Todd into a puddle, like it always did. ‘I don’t know.’ Neil replied through a breath, his voice sounding higher pitched and airier than usual, that Todd couldn’t help himself from laughing as he brought Neil into a kiss. The moon went behind the clouds plunging them both into darkness, he felt Neil tense slightly, uncomfortable being in complete darkness, but Todd just kissed him again wrapping his arms around Neil’s waist and pulling him in close. Neil, predictably, was soothed instantly melting against Todd, one of his hands shyly making its way into his hair while the other wrapped around his neck.

There was something about kissing that always made Neil so incredibly shy, it was something that Todd had always been the one to initiate. Todd guessed that he should have seen that one coming Neil being a person who would be flushed for several minutes after being the one to give Todd a kiss on the cheek, whose favourite movie was Bambi and hid himself from the on screen kiss in sleeping beauty when they went to see it in cinema. Any other physical contact though was a different story, Neil thrived on hugs and cuddles, hand holding the works. It was something that Todd probably should have seen coming as well, and it was a trait of Neil’s that always made Todd’s cheeks burn a bright pink. Neil has always been a tactile person, always leaning on their friends, asking for hugs and sneaking into Todd's bed for cuddles during the night.

Todd found himself gently swaying them to the soft breeze of the wind through the trees, just kissing Neil and holding him close with all the love he could possibly express, coming nowhere near to the amount he actually felt for the other boy. This. This was the life. This was everything Todd could have ever asked for. Neil was everything he could have ever asked for and more. And as Todd kissed Neil that little bit deeper, moving a hand up to Neil’s cheek so he could feel the blush coating the other boy's cheeks, he couldn’t stop smiling. Neil was his everything, Todd never thought he had anything, but now, against all odds, he has everything. This perfect boy was all his, this perfect boy he would wander to the end of the world for, this perfect boy that had managed to consume his entire life in all the right ways.

His perfect boy.

OK, so I read this dead poets society fic a while ago. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, and it's a soulmate au where the longer you spend away from your soulmate once you find them the more irrational you feel (if u find it please leave a link for others to find, I don't remember how I found it the first time and I'd love to credit them.) In the fic Todd was getting extra anxious and Neil was getting angry?? Maybe frustrated something like that because Neil got himself locked up on the roof.

But can I possibly present it the other way round for you all...

Todd, who has finally found the first person to actually see him, to love him unconditionally, to actually want him for him and not some name he's supposed to live up to. So irrationally, he wants to desperately hold onto that love, letting himself be selfish for once in his life. He gets agitated beyond belief, wanting Neil back with him yesterday.

And Neil "I don't know how to process emotion, but at the same time, I feel everything way too deeply." Perry just shuts down, unsure of what to do with what he is currently feeling, so he shuts down and becomes dissociative and quiet. Neil is also used to not getting what he wants, with usually little protest from him, so he goes quiet.

I just started House m.d and as much as Neil did not want to become a doctor……

I would rather DIE from my illness than not have him look after and take care of me!!!!

#1 would probably be Todd. I like to keep to myself and i don’t mind not being part of group activities.

#2 would probably be when Neil is talking to mr Keating and he says he is trapped. I am a christian and go to a christian school and sometimes it feels like i am trapped in my religion and i can’t get free from some of the beliefs.

#3 I noticed that at the beginning of the movie, the latin teacher is teaching in a classroom, and being boring like all the other teachers, and at the end, after Neils death, he is seen walking with his students outside in the snow. I believe that this was inspired by Mr Keating.

#4 I like asexual Todd head-cannon or adhd Charlie.

#5 I have taken to looking at how i live my life and how i feel about how i go through my everyday life. You never know what and when things will happen and even if you don’t get to do everything you want, you should at least be happy with how things are at the moment.

Todd Anderson is asexual and i will live and die on this hill

Does anyone have any Dead Poets Society fics they could recommend??? Preferably todd x neil but i will take anything at this point

When i’m laughing but remember that Todd screaming Neil’s name was his “yawp”, so all of a sudden nothing is funny anymore

“They were only roommates” but then they pull out Neil and Todd or Sirus and Remus

Anderperry fic I've been working on!

I've been working on a fic for a while now and if you've been in the ao3 Anderperry tag in the past few months, you've probably come across it but I just wanna say I'm here on tumblr bc it seems like most dps fans are here!!!

It's one of those "what if Neil lived?" scenarios with college life in NYC in case you haven't seen it, and it's called "Off to New York City"

my English teacher from last year showed it to our class and I remember thinking that gorgeous cheekbones boy and shy blue eyed guy were kinda into each other and now I've been stuck in this pipeline for months😭

anyways, I'm grateful for all the love my first multi chapter and first published fic has received so far since it started off as a 1k word Drabble :)

I'd say im around halfway through publishing and writing it, so stick around for updates <333

Working on two drawings. I haven't even started one yet and I don't know if I like the other 🤡💔

Orra 💔

I need to see Todd and Neil just a little bit sus bc nobody makes that art😑

Working on it!
