idk who needs to hear this but its ok not to have an aesthetic constantly, being boring and wanting to just live isnt shameful or something you need to hide
I hate it when people expect me to be on my best behaviour all the time. Bitch, I was up late crying over a book character and I have a million assignments to submit. I'm not in the mood to listen to you or give validation
can we give frankenstein's monster a name i feel kinda bad constantly calling him frankenstein's monster
vaguely academic things to do to keep yourself entertained
go down a wikipedia research hole by clicking the first term you don’t understand
binge a crashcourse series end to end (personal recs: world history, history of science, big history, philosophy)
find free books on project gutenberg
download some western classics for free
borrow books and audiobooks from the libby app or borrowbox
start a commonplace book
take a khan academy course
browse MIT’s free online course materials
teach yourself to code
go on a google scholar essay dive
try the open access button to avoid some paywalls for academic media, or install unpaywall that does a similar thing
research the history of the place you where you live
tempt the wrath of the duolingo owl and learn a language
search for online streams of the local tv in your target language’s country and use as background noise for immersion points
print and scrapbook favourite poetry and literature quotes
improve your handwriting by doing handwriting exercises
learn philosophy with the philosophize this! podcast. actually just check out all the educational spotify podcasts there are many good ones
start a weekly club with friends to share new and interesting things you’ve learnt that week
clean and reorganise your study space, physical or digital
check out online museums
fave educational youtube channels that I adore: vsauce, crashcourse, smarter every day, kurzgesagt, school of life, tom scott, r. c. waldun, vsauce3, primer, mark rober, veritasium, asapSCIENCE, scishow, TED-ed
hopefully you’ll find something to enjoy! happy learning x
Hey! I try to make my Uni course a bit more bearable by romanticizing everything but it’s so difficult. I feel like dark academia only includes literature and language courses. I study politics and economics, I mostly work and read on my laptop, watch EU debates and do maths. Everything seems so modern, new and digital about my studies. Do you know how I could put more aesthetic in it?
Take notes in a notebook instead of online, in black or blue pen with your best handwriting
Study with physical flashcards instead of quizlet
Make your study space as DA as you can
Light candles around you if possible
Wear glasses, if you don’t have prescription ones get the blue light glasses, they’re good for your eyes and DA with the right frames
Read physical books instead of online when you can
Spend time studying in your local library or college library
Make a study group of people interested in the DA aesthetic
So I am as DA in real life as can be, but I'm also doing cyber security which means I spend a lot of time staring at a screen and reading code. Not the most DA thing ever, but the way I make it DA is by doing it in soft, ambient lighting, maybe some fireplace sounds playing, an old book under the mousepad. Lol. I've got this setup and it's really ambient and dark. When I make notes I write them down again in a separate notebook in fancy cursive. (an excellent trick to memorise things better and improving your handwriting, might i add.) I also dress up in the most English major/history professor way haha. Do that was a way I make the least DA stuff, DA. There was this one post that said: how to be a true dark academic: 1) study whatever you want, passionately 2) do so surrounded by neutral dark and beige tones. Hope this helps someone, somehow. Cheers ! X

From Eden, Shrike, Arsonist's lullabye
From Eden - Do you think there’s something tragic about this life?
Yes, the fact that capitalism has made suffering an inevitable part of life. We were not meant to work at jobs we hate just to survive.
Shrike- Favorite bird?
A penguin :) I love arctic animals
Arsonists Lullaby- Do you ever feel lost?
Absolutely
the only thing “dark” about “academia” are the thoughts i have when i see my assignments piling up
But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking.

Ginny giving Harry sass brings me much happiness. 😊
Happy End of 2019, friends! Have a new comic! :) Hope you all had a safe and lovely holiday! ❤
One of the scenes they left out from the Philosopher’s Stone film! Know-It-All Hermione is my favorite. 😄

Lupin’s Offer, Part 1/3 -⚡ I’m still working on this huge comic, I wanted to draw the whole scene, so look out for the rest of this scene soon!
Also, for the record: Trans women ARE women, and I disagree with JK Rowling’s scary, cruel stance on the matter. And Black Lives Matter! I’ve been donating my Etsy earnings to BLM and LGBTQ+ charities over the last few weeks to help where I can.
Be kind to each other, and do what you can to support people who are the most vulnerable. Be a Patronus to someone who needs a light in the dark. I love you all, and hope you’re hanging in there.❤
Lupin’s Offer Part 2 / 3
~PART 1~
This one is pretty emotionally exhausting to draw, not gonna lie. Excited to share the last part with you guys soon!
