imagine being the subject of someone's poetry

why be conflicted between the dark academia and the cottage core aesthetic when you can go around wearing white dresses and flowers in your hair, with hands stained by ink and blood

i swear, if Donna Tartt does not release another book sometime during 2022-2026, i am packing my bags and leaving this flying rock.

types of people: monsters

skeleton: has anxiety, always asks how your day was, leans against anything when standing, hoodies and ripped jeans, blasts music, goes camping with friends, responds to everything with peace signs, looks mad but isn't, loves candles, dances around the fire.

ghost: lives in sweaters, cold hands, cries when super happy, no one is sure how but they just show up everywhere, shy, takes care of everyone, sweet tooth, has a soft voice, lace, foggy mornings, minamalist, loves dogs and cats equally.

vampire: wears a lot of jewelry, enjoys the finer things, eccentric style, flirty, silk bedsheets, mysterious, handwritten notes, stays up so late it's early, plays quiet music for ambiance, bubble baths, red and black, sharp gauze, philosophical conversations.

werewolf: holding hands, lives in earth tones, gorgeous eyes, calm in the day and restless at night, sunbathing, gazes at the moon, plans adventures with friends, sees past others appearances, gets lost in thought, procrastinates, concerts, has an idea

I don't want classrooms. I want to sit under the shade of the trees, on the grass with books and papers all around me. I want the nature to sing me songs while I do my work and that would make the professor's lectures a 1000 times more fascinating

i want to have a dark academia aesthetic but not a pretentious dark academia aesthetic. i want to wear oxfords and wool coats and tweed skirts and do vintage curl sets and read old literature and use fountain pens and dry flowers and that’s all well and good. but i also want to share books with others in the hopes that they will love them and go to protests. i want to mourn the harm that the patriarchy and white supremacy has done to queer, female, and poc artists throughout the centuries and refuse to idolize those who discriminate against those people. i don’t want to act superior or smarter than others simply because i like old books and music and clothing.

Dark Academia

I’ve dedicated a separate tumblr entirely to my long-standing obsession with dark academia; @coffeeacademia (original posts, aesthetics and occasionally, poetry and tips). give it a try, loves :)
