We should all be allowed to vote on if a given celebrity is allowed to make a tumblr. Like an election ballot goes out every six months to each tumblr blog older than four years (obviously the voting age of a tumblr blog) with a list of celebs who’ve applied to be on tumblr and we go down the list and check yes or no… and if we don’t have enough votes on a given celebrity, like if too many people abstain cause they don’t have an opinion, than we leave the decision up to the only celebrity we can trust on this app… Neil Gaiman.

“Now she tells me that if I were sitting in a twenty-foot barn, with the doors open at either end, and a fifty-foot ladder hurtled through the barn at the speed of light, there would be a moment –after the last rung was inside the barn and before the first rung came out the other end– when the whole fifty-foot ladder would be inside the twenty-foot barn, and I believe her, I have thought her life inside my life like that. When she reads the college catalogues, I look away and hum. I have not grown up yet, I have lived as my daughter’s mother the way I had lived as my mother’s daughter, inside her life. I have not been born yet.”
— from “Physics” in The Wellspring: Poems by Sharon Olds, p. 66

[Remember: Some of these books have dark academia as their major aspect but most of them have dark academia as their minor aspect, and many of them have been put into the list because I got a dark academia kind of vibe from them. Moreover these books have a lot more to offer than just Dark Academia, even if we ignore that aspect, these books are just great pieces of literature. This list is entirely created out of my own reading researches, friendly recommendations, and book recs from reddit, pinterest and the internet in general. If I have gone wrong somewhere or if you want me to add something new, feel free to drop an ask.]
