Richard Papen — The Secret History

Hi! I’m doing a new survey on Dark Academia for my university research on aesthetics, if you like it or know what it is I’d appreciate it if you could fill in the survey: https://forms.gle/xZRvM5pxF62bhDyn7 (Copy and paste the URL, otherwise it won’t open)

Best regards and thanks in advance!   🖤

everyone’s comfort characters are either gay, mass murderers, mentally unstable or just straight up dead or all of these

characters will literally get a headache or nosebleed out of nowhere and be like "huh. weird. well it's probably nothing." girl, look around you. you're in a story. it's relevant to the plot.

Anaïs Nin, from Henry and June: From “A Journal of Love,” The Unexpurgated Diary (1931-1932) of Anaïs Nin

Text ID: You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. You will always be part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we have shared at some time the same imaginings, the same madness,

in 7 years its going to be the 20s again so we can bring back swing music and the aesthetics of that era but keep modern values who’s with me

this is my post. do you know how it feels to have this be your post? do you understand the guilt i have to live with knowing this is my post? the weight on my soul as the decade popped into prominence with spanish flu …  2 ! 

do you know how it feels, heritageposts? are any of these heritage posts your own or are you just a curator of human misery? do you know how it feels to live knowing that of anything i’ve ever made, anything i’ve ever said, this has been seen by most people, and this will probably remain the case until i die? for this to be my legacy? can you relate? can you empathize? 

but do you want to know the worst part? the absolute worst part of all of this?

we haven’t even brought back art deco into mainstream prominence. sickening

there's something about women singing about wronged women in mythology while also relating to their struggles with that hint of unhinged in their voice that scratches my brain just right
