A list of more personal dark academia things:
Post a picture of your favourite book, annotated or otherwise.
Outfit pictures – embrace your individual style.
Any pretty locations you visit: libraries, coffee shops, campus buildings, vintage stores, etc.
What you study: confuse the literature students by posting your science work. Stun the science academics with your knowledge of your favourite authors/genres. Help the researchers with your history notes.
Where you study – your own desk, what’s on your desk, when you like to work, etc.
Other: jewellery, your favourite mug, pretty flowers, candles, personal book collection, etc.
Studying. Study notes, thoughts about your research, any text books, etc.

walks around in battered oxford shoes every day of every season
cannot stand paperback books
has a frightening amount of candles in his house/room
sighs a lot
drinks his coffee black but secretly likes it better with milk
is very strict about table etiquette
wears everything monogrammed (he embroiders them himself)
actually doesn't mind audiobooks
has a large umbrella with a wooden handle
kisses his friends but will never catch feelings
does dramatic reading of cheesy tragedies to his pets
types faster than you can imagine but there's a typo every two words
his hands are always stained with some sort of ink
cuts his own hair
will curl up in every armchair
secretly wants to smoke the pipe
cannot shave without cutting himself somehow
