Dark Academia during quarantine

Has lost all sense of time: we just wake up in the middle of the night wanting to write a poem, looking for the translation of a word in our target language, or decide it’s a great time to finish a book...then we go back to sleep. What time is it? Who knows? Who cares?

Finally has all the time in the world to read and write, but is intimidated by an immense tbr pile and blank pages.

“How do you make pj’s dark academia?” is a dominant thought in their heads. I love this aesthetic so much but you will NOT catch me wearing tweed to sit on my couch.

Doesn’t want to indulge in binge watching Netflix shows because ew, modernism. But we’re so bored we’re about to hit that point.

High-key thinking about starting a(nother) diary/journal about life during quarantine.

Now it’s a terrible time to want to read a specific book that is not among the million you already own, because libraries and bookstores are likely shut down.

Seriously, how many times can you watch Dead Poets Society and Kill Your Darlings?

Your Tumblr feed is probably dry because you can’t take aesthetic pictures of your oxfords during your morning commute.

Although it seems like people don’t eat in DA books or movies, you do. A lot. Even more now during quarantine. It’s ok, I do too.

A tip: Listen to podcasts! My favorites are Crime Junkie (true crime), Our Fake History (history conspiracy theories) and Dead Academics Society (MY DA themed podcast).

Coffee and tea are not really needed because you can sleep whenever you want to, but they are very much wanted still.

Your hygiene is either at its peak because showering/bathing to candlelight while listening to Hozier is a mood, or it’s very questionable because staying in your bed all day is also a mood.

Put the scissors down, do not cut your own hair. I am begging you. Actually, do it! I endorse it.

I also endorse writing letters! I haven’t done it myself yet but with this much free time in hand, why not?

Your mental health: declining.

we existed only within ourselves.

fall in love with the night itself; black divinity would not always reside with us, but we could fake his company. we lit a couple of candles that emitted only very dim and light rays. we occupy our souls with dreams: reading, writing or talking, until the clock warned us of the arrival of true darkness. we would go out into the streets, arm in arm, continuing with the themes of the day, or wandering from side to side until the last minute, searching, among the wild lights and shadows of the populous city, that infinite mental emotion that calm observation can achieve.

Wandering aimlessly among old paintings, losing myself in their silent poetry

hello lovely people, today i come to you in search of a penpal lol. So here’s some things about me :)

-my names cameron, i’m 17 and from the US

-i have two main aesthetics turned lifestyles, and they are dark academia and wicca lol

-speaking of wicca, i’m a “causal witch”

-i love drawing, watching horror movies, playing instruments, reading, writing, journaling, playing video games, and learning about space

-i want to major in astrophysics or astronomy

-my favorite classical music composers are Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Vivaldi

-my favorite “modern day” musicians and bands are MCR, PTV, PATD, basically everything else “emo” Dodie, Harry Styles, Echosmith, Girl in Red, and i have a soft spot for lofi music on soundcloud lol

- i’m the type of person who names all of my plants lol

-i love drinking tea and coffee, but i guess i’m a “fake” academic because i load my coffee with almond milk lol. Black coffee is just not for me

-I love musicals, my all time favorite is Sweeney Todd

-i play the violin and guitar

-i draw every single day and in some letters you may get a stray drawing (as well as some tea, possibly lol)

So that’s the important things about me i guess lol. I’m looking for penpals between the ages of 15-19 and i’d prefer someone who lives in the US so postage isn’t annoying lol.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested or if you have any questions! 🪐📓

We will become great scientists/engineers and artists at the same time.

I honestly believe studying or being interested in science is so important for aspiring artists. I think that it allows you to expand your creativity as it shows you another version of reality which is often breathtaking. In my experience, I always feel closer to art (and so much more inspired to do it) when I'm surrounded by science.
