I'm a sad, gay, history-obsessed poet, who plans to make you remember my name for centuries to come

[wildecoffeee]

"those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming" is such a raw quote holy shit

[wildecoffeee]

chaotic dark academia aesthetic letsago!

gifted kid burnout

busted boots that just about fit

long, comfortable coats

reading classics online and theorising over every little thing

falling asleep in a class and trying to find where you were

messy handwriting that only you can read

coffee stained paper with quotes from poems you vaguely recall

headphones that are either blasting beautiful classical or hardcore rock and roll

quotes on the wall next to band posters

not being particularly good at some arts but still loving them

laughing at cheesy puns about classic literature

[abooksbestfriend-deactivated202]

Mozart is for light academics

Claude Debussy is for the cottagecores

Tchaikovsky is for dark royalty cores

Bach is for the dark academics

Chopin is for chaotic academias

Franz Liszt is light royalty core

“Does such a thing as “the fatal flaw,” that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature?” ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

[silveclipse]

Another lover hits the universe,

The circle is broken,

But with death comes rebirth,

And like all lovers and sad people,

I'm a poet.

- Allen Ginsberg, Kill your darlings

achilles took “drag him” a little far

[po-tato2]

are you ever just having a good day when you suddenly remember how achilles was so upset over patroclus’ death that the gods had to intervene, and after achilles fought the river god, the rest of the gods were actually afraid bc in his grief he defeated one of them, and achilles fought everyone possible because he wanted to die because he saw no point in living without patroclus, and when paris’ arrow struck him, he fell to the ground with a smile

me: *is trying to read The Iliad*

my brain: *why read Homer when you can read patrochilles fanfiction*

[rheaswrath]

…maybe I’ve always been more comfortable in chaos…

Tag yourself as these musical instruments

all songs can be found on my dark academia playlist here

Violin: ‘Vanilla Curls’ by Teddy Hyde

creamy light pouring through chiffon curtains, sipping on mugs of milky coffee, crisp fresh sheets of music, the morning harmonies of birds humming, surprise presents wrapped in brown paper and embellished with a twine bow

Electric Guitar: ‘Mallory’ by Back to Yours

winks that remain in your thoughts like bloody daggers, leather jackets stained with sinning nights, splashing burning liquor down your throat, broken promises and minuscule regrets, making wishes on the glowing city landscape 

Piano: ‘SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK’ by Joji

red velvet dresses that cascade down spiral staircases like a bloody waterfall, drenching your tongue in the taste of red wine, heavy gothic jewellery adorned against porcelain skin, fresh eyes clear and alert

Saxophone: ‘Instant Coffee’ by Bugs

iridescent bubbles casting the magic spell of laughter on children, romanticising the bus journey you take each morning, sharing a plentiful pick ‘n’ mix with the person you wish was more than just a friend, orange bows intertwined in your hair

Harp: ‘Angel’ by FINNEAS

warming rays tinkled with stardust, resting your head on the tickling grass and letting your mind unwind into the dirt, cream walls coated in growing ivy, fairy lights sending sparkles around your room like artificial constellations

Drums: ‘If I Get High’ by Nothing But Thieves

nocturnal days only knowing the graceful face of the moon and forgetting the vicious expression of the sun, running your fingers through tangles of hair, battered trainers stained with unrecognisable marks

We all grew up and did the things we said we’d never do.

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.

Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

[prettyokrightknow]

I feel as if life has more to give me at any given moment, there is several hundred possibilities in one moment, but we only ever pick one, and that, is the joy and horror of living

No one can make you feel inferior without consent.
