chaotic academia, a concept : scribbling lorde’s lyrics aggressively on a napkin, burning candles and touching the wax with your fingers, getting ink on your white shirt, choosing to stay up to read when you have to wake up four hours later, brewing tea while shivering in your cold kitchen, compiling your last minute notes in a small dark cafe, going out from your home in the rain to buy yourself an umbrella, feeling homesick at home

If anyone did this to me I would immediately fall in love you

how to love a dark academic:

• write them letters and seal the envelopes with fancy wax seals

• buy them books

• write them poetry

• quote shakespeare, or really any other author or playwright to them

• read and discuss books with them

• listen to their 3 am rants on how we could've heard oscar wilde's voice if he'd had lived just a tad longer

• help them study

i’m coining a new literary criticism called feralism and it’s when you wildly misread the text as a glamorization of hedonism like how we as a society read the great gatsby and now want to throw banging 20s themed gatsby parties or read the secret history and want to hold a bacchanal. it recognizes literature as a vessel for the repressed human need to just lose your fucking mind.

“Aphrodite, the goddess of breathless romances, of honeyed breaths, of feverishly promised forevers.”

— Nikita Gill, from “Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths & Monsters,”

Exactly the life I want

1800s sex be like

*helps you out of a carriage* *unties your coat laces for you* *touches your ungloved hand* *avoids you at a ball*

I have a deep love of Charlie Dalton

dead poets society but it’s every time someone says charlie’s name

I got The Heroine Who’s To Clever By Half and my MBTI type ENTJ

Also this test is chaotic

I just took this quiz to find out what Shakespeare archetype i am

I got “The girl who’s always disguising herself as a boy for some reason” and im LAUGHING so hard it’s so real

favorite art genre: turning up in the woods with my girls

hold some hands, do a little dance, go off the shits among the trees

tweed jackets, corduroy pants, brown trousers, oxford shoes, white button ups, brown leather, heavy sweaters, coffee rings, ripped out pages, thick belts, wire rimmed glasses, dusty books, quiet spaces, low lighting, dark wood, the picture of dorian gray, thick paper, expensive pens, figering brushing while reaching for the same book, long eye contact, small classes, close relationships with teachers, being an enigma, disappearing without explanation, wilting flowers, long coats, thrist for knowledge, thick volumes of ancient words, reading poetry aloud, old watches, golden jewelry, classical music, red wine, black coffee, music played on the piano, close knit groups of friends, a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.

living your best dark academia life:

learn french, greek or latin

wear tweed, glasses and oxfords

read and write poetry

learn to play piano, and also the violin is magnific

always have a book on you 

be gay 

practice painting, drawing and other arts 

go to museums

murder?

PEN PALS

I’m looking for a pen pal preferably in the U.K. but I’m okay with elsewhere.

lying on the couch

- boring

- feels unproductive

- u just kind of lie there

lying on the couch with a poofy shirt:

- melodramatic

- inherently homoerotic

- oscar wilde is proud

Oh I really do enjoy how the 2020s are shaping up to be a lot like the 1920s. You get a generation of lost kids that grew up during a war. They reject their parents conservative attitudes. The youth has created a resurgence of Dadaism and Nihilism that the older generations don’t understand. An artistic boom replacing the materialistic tendencies of our parents. The queer community is thriving in a way that it hasent been in years. Activism and socialist ideologies are on the rise again. How wonderful. It makes me want to go to Paris and be the next Gertrude Stein

bitches be dedicating their entire life to the dark academia aesthetic in terms of clothing and interests

i’m bitches

I love dark academia because it's such a twist on reality. It's like living like everyone else lives but in a more exciting way. You care about details, you perform mundane tasks with such passion, you read books like there's no tomorrow. It's almost as if there's this imaginary parallel universe that you're transported to once you're into the dark academia aesthetic.

Why does Henry Cavill take all his selfies like that ???

‘I thought Carlisle was near Newcastle’ ‘No, it’s on the other side of the country’

‘Emily, would you ever kill someone?’- shouted across the classroom

‘I don’t even know what a citizen is! Am I a citizen?!’

Biology:

‘sir, you are not a perv!’

‘oh my god! what an absolute ledge!’

‘why are punching holes on the cover of your book?’

‘no Ethan, you can’t add me on snapchat’

‘god, how did you not hear what i said? are you deaf or what?’  ‘umm i’m deaf in one ear’ 

English:

‘while watching Romeo + Juliet - ‘wow what a turn out’ 

‘ohh Romeos’ such a lad!’

‘woah bit extreme there’

‘they’re complete drama queens!’

‘well, you see this guy just nicked a boat, went to the middle of a lake and had his sexual awakening because he saw a mountain’

‘here’s me sitting on a toilet with no walls or roof while i was in Australia’

Spanish:

‘i asked a girl why her hair was like that (it was a weird style) and she turned around ‘i have alopecia’ God i wanted to die!’

‘waiit, you have the same birthday? thats mental!’

‘go see if he’s in the bathroom or SSC’  ‘i think we’ve lost him miss’

 ‘so did he really just stab himself in his hand? you didn’t do it?’  ‘well simply, yeah’
