A Poem of No Particular Importance

I’ve met silver and I’ve met blood

We were quite well acquainted, but

It wasn’t love. 

The truth is I’d take fire over sex

Fire reddens my skin just fine

And he lights my cigarettes

His smoke in my lungs is like a 

Kiss, and I spend the dwindling night

Delirious.

Sad, of course, that he’s gone

But he’s always with me as I go on

He’s at my fingertips and in my veins,

The little red spots that dull my pain.

I don’t like to bleed. But do I love to burn. 

Sun and stars, day, night

Headrush. Red eyes. 

Blush or burn? Either’s fine.

The blush is ours but the burn-

That’s mine.

When I was little I was freckled.

I suppose that was my first brush with fire-

No.

Perhaps I shouldn’t romanticize my lighter.

How many dark academic homoerotic slow burn murder mystery novels can you name go

My friend did this on their DC blog so I decided to steal take inspiration and make a similar post on my blogs. I want more active dark academia (or any academia really) blogs to follow, so if I tag you it’s because love your blog and recommend it to my followers, I also want you to reblog or make a similar post with DA or DA-esq blogs you follow and recommend

TSH posts I found on Pinterest that had me crying enjoy

Thinking about making a da-esq word of the day calendar or maybe a quote of the day with quotes from classics I dunno send me intellectual words/quotes in asks if people are actually interested I might make a printable version and post it

[yellowpagess]

Latin quotes I really want tattooed:

“Astra incliant sed non obligant” (the stars guide us they do not bind us)

“Vivamus, moriendum est” (Let us live, for we must die)

“Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit” (A joy it will be one day, perhaps, to remember even this)

[aubergineanathema]

Other good ones I’ve considered: et tunc videbis mirabilia | “and then you will see wonders”

anathema sit qui quaerit nocere me | “let him be cursed who seeks to harm me”

nihil sub sole novum | “there is nothing new under the sun”

memento mori | “remember that you die”

quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius | “what is below is just as what is above”

nolite te bastardes carborundorum | “don’t let the bastards get you down” (this one is not real Latin, but it’s gained meaning in popular culture so it’s cool with me)

[yellowpagess]

These additions are wonderful, the last one is from The Handsmaid Tale if I’m not mistaken- one of my teachers wrote it in my yearbook in high school

Same energy as “Don’t let the muggles get you down” but not written by a terf ✨

Latin quotes I really want tattooed:

Astra incliant sed non obligant | The stars guide us they do not bind us

Vivamus, moriendum est | Let us live, for we must die

Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit | A joy it will be one day, perhaps, to remember even this

I was supposed to write a brief summary of my “personal history” as a get-to-know-you introduction to my history class and I ended up with a 2000+ word essay with a 500 word aside and that’s on dark academia

The fact that Dante created the most popular image of the afterlife with absolutely no theological basis for it will still be the funniest thing to me

Great people find themselves in manic depressive episodes and in their demise, create. Reknowned pieces of art and literature are born from the darkness within great minds. The humanities are derived from the most common human experience— the inability to be happy.

Why is it when I find myself in a manic depressive episode I eat bagels at midnight and ignore my obligations.

About to stay with relatives for an indeterminable amount of time and as miserable as I plan on being missing my friends and family I’m also really excited to wake up every morning on a mountain in a very vintage-dark-academia-esq bedroom and read on the balcony and go on hikes and morning runs and really just get away from the city for a bit

Doubtful that this will reach many people, but I just redid my blog theme and am not too happy with it. If anyone has any photos that you think might look good as my header/avatar or maybe a color palette pretty please submit them as a post and I might use them? My blog is in your hands...
