is anybody going to come to the centuries old university library with me and help me look through books on forensic science so we can decide how to properly dispose of the body of our dear friend or should i just do it myself?

halloween dark academia

carrying a copy of dracula with you everywhere

maroon oxford shoes

carving mary shelley quotes in the wood of an old tree

jack o’ lanterns lighting up houses that you thought to be abandoned

is that real or fake blood? and not wanting to know the answer

studying the origins of halloween, still wanting to learn about everything you can

admiring the full moon for a little too long

wearing a long, black cloak everywhere

listening to gothic classical music to set the tone for the day

watching tim burton films

looking like a tim burton character

popping in fake vampire fangs that make you feel more like yourself

red wine stains that look suspiciously the same as a blood stain

appreciating the orange and red shades of the leaves before they’re gone

Thinking about her

“That's the wonderful thing about books, that's the thing that books can do that no other art form can do: when we read a great book we do internalize it, it becomes part of us; when we read a great book we put it down and we are different people.”
