Don't ever put the dead poets in a groupchat

Summary:

a very silly chatfic au where the dead poets meet in college

neily: Todd you’re so funny pls don’t die

toddster: um?? I WONT

neily: Thank the heavens

neily: Who made a beautiful girl named chris

knoxious: SHUT UP,

knoxious: STOP QUOTING MY FUCKING POEM

Notes:

ive been loving chatfics since 2020, and i once read the funniest work EVER which was teamwork makes the meme work by muuni!!!! some stuff in this fic is inspired by that one, and if uve watched voltron i greatly recommend checking it out :D

anyways, this fic is basically me summoning all my few brain cells trying to be funny and making each and every dps related joke and reference. please bare with me. also im still very much in highschool and im not american thus knowing nothing about how it is attending college in america...im very sorry for any mistakes or unrealistic things,,,,please look past that

also guys, beware of typos and grammatical errors in the written out parts I AM going to edit those parts someday TRUST ME…but for now please just ignore all the mistakes. i’ll use my “english is not my first language” card here🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

feel free to leave ur thoughts in the comments!!!!
