Perhaps there are no plagues, only the fickleness of nature. Perhaps there are no consequences, just ugliness. Maybe punishment is something that only comes from people, not from God.

Deborah Feldman, Unorthodox pg.80

Big fan of this whole Magnus archives thing. Might make a new personality out of it we’ll see

Happy Pride Month🏳️‍🌈

This is technically my first pride out, I think, and I feel… good.

Discovering my sexuality was very tricky for me, and at multiple points I found myself asking if I was really bisexual, or if I was just seeking attention. Looking back on that, I’m frustrated with my state of mind, and how easily I could discredit myself like that.

I do, however, feel very privileged to have such supportive family and friends who love and accept me regardless of my sexual orientation. I know that others are not as lucky, and so my thoughts are with the people who cannot celebrate themselves freely this month, and beyond that, cannot be themselves throughout the year. You deserve so much more than what you were given, and I hope that one day you get it.

- much love, Alice

“if we make it through december, everything’s gonna be alright, I know.”

Kind of cannot stop thinking about them

Oh, yes, without us perhaps the sky would be more blue. The ocean as clear and deep as a mirror. Perhaps not so many lives would have ended before their time. Less smog thick in the world's throat like phlegm keeping you awake. Less oil as ink poisoning in the planet’s blue blood. But without us, there would also be no bread, fresh from the oven. No melodies hummed just under the breath. No magenta, created just for our eyes. No dogs as we know them, these eager valentines. No telescopes piercing the veil of stars. No stories told around campfires. Told over and over again, each time a little different, a little more ours. Consider this my love letter to humanity: Yes, some of us do terrible things. But some of us bake bread and write poetry about the hands of our lovers. When I take my mother's old dog with his bad hips for a walk across the wheat fields. Standing among the weeds which, with a little help, will become something not better, but new. With each step, he turns his body to look back at me, waiting for me to catch up. And I know, if tomorrow we were to be gone from this world

We would be missed.

If you need instrumental dark academia playlists to study with for finals, these are some spotify playlists I made that might help you out the way they helped me

Minimal atmospheric piano that doesn’t sound like it’s taken straight from an alexa commercial. Really minimal, melancholy. 

Violin y cello instrumentals for studying and reading: includes soundtracks and some classical music opus.

Minecraft-like ambient exploration suites: soft, creative instrumental ambient sounds

Opera and choral music: if you’d seriously like to feel like you’re studying at a gothic library, then this playlist’s the one for you. Eco chamber-like

Instrumental soft jazz: really soft jams, some of the BGM chanel. Slow ballads to read to.

*Classical music: Background classical piano, violin and orchestal pieces from recognized classical composers for studying the old fashioned way.

Open to suggestions or feedback, I hope these help you out! Push it through!
