DLH: why are you making friendship bracelets and putting them in the corner?

DUE: they’re for the shadows, they seem friendly.

No dorm room pictures from me. My room is a freakin’ mess and no one on the internet deserves to see the chaos that is my DCD hammock. The desk I sleep at in the DLH library offices, however, is just a little bit less chaotic. I can’t believe it’s only day one, and I already have this many sticky notes.

averno graveyard

every graveyard has its ghosts, but only here can you expect to find it home to biweekly tea parties. 

they scared me at first, the regulars. with their dark clothes, sharp makeup, and bright, curious eyes. part of me worried they were playing with something beyond anyone’s understanding. 

but from a student at a new school, that does sound silly, doesn’t it? what would my studies be if not a constant dive, until you can’t see the light of the surface anymore, going deeper and deeper even as every instinct down to the cells inside you screams to pull back? 

the tea is nice enough. i can’t see half the guests on account of their condition (read: dead), but the regulars told me i’d set a good impression. and if i kept coming, i was bound to get the sight. 

your eyes adapt, one had told me. like when you step out of your bedroom to go stargazing. the constellations unfold over time. 

they made death less frightening. in averno, that’s an achievement almost unheard of. 

when it’s my time, i hope there’s still someone around to have tea with me. even if i can’t drink it.

will: do you trust me?

Midnights of Averno

The late nights of swinging from hammocks in the dcd barn, talking with friends. Time moves so slowly as the stars spin overhead. Mountan dew, monster, and coffee lay half forgotten as we ignore how tired we are.

Conversation flows like the creek running through the forest, and we're as close as close can be. One by one we fall asleep, heads in laps and legs intertwined. Glasses askew and clothing still on.

Apparently when my grandma first came to America she didn’t know what a raccoon was and assumed it was a fucked up cat and adopted it. I just imagine this 13 yr old girl with a heavy Eastern European accent being like “this is my cat, Petr. He is not very friendly”

Omg

meg. meg would do this.

I read this entire exchange to my mom because I love it and suddenly I just said that in an EASTERN EUROPEAN ACCENT?! I’m from NY.... I suck at accents.... have I been possessed?!

The Phozal are a friendly folk, but beware if you do not have a pure loving heart they will use their fangs.

Between 12 and 18 inches tall

Can be shy but easily won over with small offerings such as crystals, sweets and small trinkets

Originally hailing from the forest a pack of Phozal now live within the tunnels of the Department of Unconfirmed Existence

The DUE students have gotten them semi-addicted to Mountain Dew and Buzzfeed Unsolved

They love music and often in the wild live around a very special willow tree. They love hugs and will sometimes let out little hoots.

These fuzzy folk will be your friends for life.

Are you getting ready for pumpkins and spice, magic and acceptance letters, secret societies and study blogs, and perhaps a cult or two?

This autumn, A New School is opening its doors once again. Come and explore our gorgeous 18th century castle (ignore the plywood at the back), meet your professors, sample classes, and get to know your fellow students.

From September 2nd to 12th, A New School will be having its freshman week online! Participate in class assignments, social media challenges, and livestreams to celebrate the new year.

So what does freshman week at A New School look like? On the weekdays, you’ll find department-based assignments that anyone can participate in, and on the weekends, there will be fun challenges themed around life on campusm

Students at A New School got obsessed with Tumblr back in ‘08 and… well, never lost interest. Instagram accounts are used to stay up to date on school happenings, but on Tumblr you’ll find the real secrets of A New School- the overheard blogs, the secret society recruitments, the banned clubs and crush pages, and, most importantly, the studyblrs that are a bigger determiner of popularity than money or fame (at least, in certain departments) (*cough cough* DLH). Show us your style, your dorm, your favorite quotes, make playlists, and get settled and get ready for the year to come!

Stay tuned for move-in portraits, homework assignments, and a few surprises!

First days at ANS

I am in DHP, DLH and DUE

I have just recently been called to Averno, seemingly by a mysterious voice. I should probably begin by introducing myself, I’m Zoella but my friends call me Zoe (at least they would if I had any friends ✌🏻). I’m 19 and 5/6.

Back to the whole calling thing, it’s strange. I’ve never felt such a pull to a place before, I’ve never really fit in anywhere. So when a disembodied female voice calls you to a small town in Virginia, who am I to say no. Averno is really a lovely little town- even if a bit strange. I was here a day and the mayor goes missing.... and no one seems that concerned? Confusing..... The lack of name brand anything is a tad alarming but I’m a broke college student now so the cheaper the better. My first few nights have gone smoothly. I’ve studied and read then went to bed but last night was a bit odd.

I studied as normal but then felt the urge to explore my new home. A New School is a beautiful campus and a bit spooky at night. I looked around the gardens (always be alert of any creatures looming!) and picked a few flowers. Then went down to the lake. This is where things get special- there was something else by the lake. A small furry creature was drinking from the water. (I looked in my cryptozoology textbook and discovered this was a Defleuren). The Defleuren was staring at the flowers so I gently handed them one. They started drinking nectar and eating the petals while making a soft noise that almost sounded like a purr. The Defleuren allowed me to sit next to them by the lake, I spent most of the night there. I think we may have become friends? I hope to run into them again as they were very sweet, even going so far as to let me hug them.

Any advice on how to be a good friend to this lovely Defleuren?
