sometimes self care is sitting on your bed at 11 o’clock in the morning, listening to Lorde on vinyl and giving yourself temporary tattoos in the most bizarre places

If you need instrumental dark academia playlists to study with for finals, these are some spotify playlists I made that might help you out the way they helped me

Minimal atmospheric piano that doesn’t sound like it’s taken straight from an alexa commercial. Really minimal, melancholy. 

Violin y cello instrumentals for studying and reading: includes soundtracks and some classical music opus.

Minecraft-like ambient exploration suites: soft, creative instrumental ambient sounds

Opera and choral music: if you’d seriously like to feel like you’re studying at a gothic library, then this playlist’s the one for you. Eco chamber-like

Instrumental soft jazz: really soft jams, some of the BGM chanel. Slow ballads to read to.

*Classical music: Background classical piano, violin and orchestal pieces from recognized classical composers for studying the old fashioned way.

Open to suggestions or feedback, I hope these help you out! Push it through!

Liepke is one of my favourite artists. If you have the means, please look at his other work. It is nothing short of admirable.

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane gives me the strongest Cabeswater vibes and I can’t believe I didn’t realize it until tonight driving home from work

Finished this book in the summer and still no less obsessed with this man

nothing hits quite as hard a Celtic music to give you that feeling eh

can someone give me song recommendations that crush my soul with nostalgia for a time I’ve never experienced please? I’m running low

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

Adam Parrish losing control of his hands and eyes when the demon infects Cabeswater but set to the tune of “Possessed” by Jeremiah Fraites. It is highly painful and highly recommended.

Perhaps there are no plagues, only the fickleness of nature. Perhaps there are no consequences, just ugliness. Maybe punishment is something that only comes from people, not from God.

Deborah Feldman, Unorthodox pg.80

How could we explain that standing on a stage and speaking someone else's words as if they are your own is less an act of bravery than a desperate lunge at mutual understanding? An attempt to forge that tenuous link between speaker and listener and communicate something, anything of substance.

Just finished 'If We Were Villains' and it hurts

“I seemed doomed to always play supporting roles in someone else’s story. Far too many times I had asked myself whether art was imitating life or if it was the other way around.”

-M. L Rio, If We Were Villains

can’t wait for my new fav spy novel ‘mister impossible’ 🤪

Legend says that if you look at Richard Campbell Gansey the Third and you squint, you can see Francis Abernathy.

Francis is the brooding, gay, ginger, overcoated 80s version of him.

dark academics i discovered something amazing the other day .... an audiobook of the secret history read by the guy who played neil perry in dead poets society. you’re welcome 💓

does anyone else absolutely lose their shit over “how long” from Hadestown or is that just me

Romantically Solipsistic

If I was a romantic I’d tell you how I drive the long way home. I drive twists and turns through subdivisions to slowly get to the same fate I would have had I gone straight. I’d tell you that I do this in the hopes that when I pass your house, I can roll down my window just to hear your laugh. 

But I am not romantic. 

If I’m honest, I take the long way home to remind myself that you exist. I need to see the car in the driveway, the shadows through the kitchen window, the barking dog in the backyard. 

I need proof of your existence because I’m beginning to doubt my own. 

hey it’s ya girl a plus sized poc dark academic 🕊✨

i hate how white and skinny most representations of the dark academia aesthetic are.

so i wanna say you don’t need to be white to embody the dark academia aesthetic or any aesthetic for that matter.

and you certainly don’t need to be skinny we need more diversity in this community not everything is european/ american based when it comes to dark academia never forget that✨
