Movies with a Dark Academia aesthetic are often set in prestigious universities and they could involve a murder or simply one’s pursuit of self.

I will also write my opinions on those movies with a star rating: 

     ✩ -  Failure / Offensive / Toxic

     ★ -  Enraging / Wholly Deficient / Shameful

     ★★ -  Disappointing / Mediocre and Uninteresting / Soulless

     ★★★ -  Good / Interesting Concept or Execution / Eye-Opening

     ★★★★ -  Great / Exciting, Affecting, Memorable Achievement / Enlightening

     ★★★★★ -  Favorite / Masterpiece / Divine Encounter

In a world that often withholds its gratitude, i choose to be kind. To extend a hand of compassion, a heart of understanding, even to those who may not deserve it. For in the act of kindness, i find my own peace. A peace that transcends the chaos and noise of the world around me. It is a peace that nourishes my soul, a balm for the wounds of indifference and cruelty. i do not do it for recognition or reward, but for the simple joy of spreading light in the darkness. i do it fir myself and my Lord. So i will continue to be kind, to offer love where there is hate, to sow seeds of kindness in barren hearts. i chose to be kind because in the end, it is not about what others give back to me, but about the light and love i choose to bring into the world.

I wanna be a detective, but not in a “I work for the police” way, in a semi-Sherlock Holmes vibe. Just extremely dark academic. I want the aesthetic. I want to solve mysteries. Who doesn’t love a mystery?
