winter aesthetic

Sweaters slightly too big worn over a button up shirt. Black tea with honey. The increased gravitational pull of the bed in those early mornings when it's still dark. Black overcoats with colourful scarves. Sharing a hot cocoa on a study session with friends. Numb hands that can't work the calculator or hold a pen. Forgotten gloves by a library chair. Wishing the cold wind could stay round all year.

“I would shun the light, share in evenings cool and quiet. Who would trade that hum of night for sunlight?”

Latin: Vitem lumen, partiam in vesperibus frigidiset quietis. Qui mercetur illum bombum noctis soli?

Greek: φεύγοιμι τὸ φῶς, μετέxοιμι τῆς νυκτός τῆς φυχράς καὶ τῆς σιγηλάς. τίς ἐμπορεύονται τὸν ἐκεῖνον τῆς νυκτὸς βόμβον τῇ εἵλησιδι;

—Hozier, Sunlight (2018)

Dark Academia in various medias masterpost

“Dark academia is the unofficial term for a genre of fiction with stories that revolve around an academic campus. In literature, it’s recognized with the title campus or academic novel. Film has no term for it yet.

Dark academia works contain elements of satire, tragedy, and philosophy. They tend to promote humanities and liberal arts as passions for their protagonists to pursue. Since dark academia centers around an academic environment with young adults, most of the stories are coming-of-age.

Dark academia criticizes static social attitudes by encouraging new and unique social perspectives represented with its protagonists. Simultaneously, the genre emphasizes how students never truly get prepared for the turbulent reality they face outside their campus, despite a school’s claims to do so.”

I developed another crush

[scorpioesque]

Moon in Gemini instills a need for shallowness regarding emotional vulnerability in the native. They are fairly emotionally guarded people and while they seek to connect, letting people see inside their hearts is deeply uncomfortable or awkward for them until they have learned that fulfilling relationships require openness. Often, when confronted with an emotionally intense situation that can make them vulnerable, they try to backpaddle or water the issue down. Superficiality here is not an inherent trait necessarily, but a coping mechanism. 

These people are asked to learn how to be vulnerable with the right people and to acknowledge and find peace with the fact that some things hold gravity and it’s okay to let others worry about you or take you seriously. This kind of spotlight and intimacy might be awkward at first, but it is extremely important for these natives to learn how to open themselves more to others to find the fulfilling relationships they desire so much.
