Got stung by a wasp (6 times) while tearing apart our old barn and I tied scrap fabric around my arm where it got stung and honestly? Feel like a hot video game avatar. 

One of the most essential things about Dark Academia to me is the reclaimation. Like there’s something powerful about mostly women, lgbt people, people of color, and low income people seeing a space to which we’re not entitled and saying “no we’re gonna take it”. Like the fact that the fashion is made of taking men’s thrift store clothes and the concept of finding our own interpretations of literature and art which go against Eurocentric academic norms. This is a really disorganised post but I hope I’m getting my message across

MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO

I wouldn't normally comment on the met gala outfits openly but. In defence of Elliot Page. I feel like a lot of people are missing that this is his first gala since coming out as transmasc and even without considering the green rose in his lapel (an obvious dual oscar wilde green carnation and prom flower reference), his outfit Yells "teen trans boy's first prom suit, borrowed/bought a size too large because it was the smallest available". The obviously overlong sleeves. The cut of the jacket collar. The overlong suit pants. The massive chunky black sneakers. The massive green rose in his lapel.

There's no way it isn't an intentional exaggeration of the young american transmasc experience. He understood the assignment, you all just aren't understanding him

Do yall ever... forget that you’re bilingual??? I just thought, damn I wish I knew a second language... bitch??? You do????

charlie dalton calls anything that inconveniences him homophobic and that's canon
