Cracks (2009)

All female dark academia film. Highly underrated. Better than Dead Poets.

Might fuck around and annotate some classical literature with notes just a little too cryptic and a tad personal, only to donate it to a used book store in the hopes of someone picking it up and slowly falling in love with me through my writing, left to wonder who was the stranger who poured their heart into this writing.

“Without literature, life is hell.”    ―  Charles Bukowski

[bluebeardsbride-archive]

“I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion – I have shudder’d at it – I shudder no more – I could be martyr’d for my Religion – Love is my religion – I could die for that – I could die for you.”

— John Keats, from a letter to Fanny Brawne; 13, Oct. 1819.

Kill Your Darlings (2013) dir. John Krokidas

[snookersneek]

Darkly academic research ideas for your time indoors (because you're not a heathen):

The lives of great classical composers.

Ancient Egypt's social hierarchy and attitudes towards women, homosexuality etc.

Poisons.

The tea trade, and how it became so important to British culture.

18th century fashion and the production of clothing.

How corsets aren't the terrible patriarchal torture devices everyone thinks they are.

The use of recreational drugs in the late 19th century.

The French revolution.

Methods of forensic investigation at crime scenes.

Controversy in psychological studies.

Matriarchal societies.

How nostalgia influences fashion, media, and literature.

The nature versus nurture argument.

The history of trains and railroads.

Symbolism in art.

Just a few research rabbit holes to throw yourself into if you're bored. :)
