i’m so sick of seeing people online (mostly cishet girlies) saying they’re having a “sufjan summer” and then just talking about a somewhere in northern italy call me by your name aesthetic BUT i have been putting thought to what an accurate sufjan summer would look like and determined the following:
developing a deep connection with native birds
becoming an expert in local geographical history
studying religious mysticism
working through familial trauma
cultivating the underlying homoerotic tension of every relationship
writing poetry about everyday experiences
having unexplained prophetic dreams about historical figures
watching shitty b rate sequel movies with friends
being a bit too obsessively tyrannical about music
backyard gardening
wearing a fun little hat at a jaunty angle
