#classic academia aesthetic
Seeing couples who are deeply in love with each other is a different kind of beauty
The phrase ‘all things that fall get broken’ truly terrifies me because I’m falling hard but unfortunately fictional characters can’t catch you
Kissing your lover in the rain > everything else
Tumblr is the place for romantics who are scared of love
If your dark academia friend goes missing here is how to find them!
1. Make a small shrine of books, perhaps Shakespeare or the Picture of Dorian Gray, leave some tea or coffee, maybe a few jumpers if it’s cold and of course leave a copy of Dead Poets Society
2. Leave it near your local library/forrest/curiosity shop/aesthetic cafe /old building or anywhere that seems fitting to yearn
3. Wait until nightfall as they are most likely an insomniac and will most likely becone productive anywhere between 11 pm and 3 am
Hopefully your friend will emerge from their hideaway and you can safely take them home
Dark academia is the aesthetic for people who:
Had a tense emo phase that matured into dark academia
Had an unhealthy Harry Potter obsession and now hates J. K. Rowling
Played games revolving around mythical creature as a child
Was able to read at an adult level at age 8 and spent their childhood reading
Anyone who is a part of any of the academia aesthetics will agree that it is just dressing like it is autumn all year round no matter the weather
Some of you did not play werewolves and vampires growing up and it really shows
I think the thing I love the most about reading is imagining what each character looks like because no matter what the description is, everyone will imagine the characters differently
Academics be like ‘I know a place’ and then take you to their favourite reading spot in the woods and lecture you on books for three hours
Yes parents I know I’m nearly 17 but I’m still going into the woods with my friends to make a den so we can read poetry together
Since when did going to balls and wearing ballgowns go out of fashion?
There has always, and will always, be beauty in the unconventional.
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“There are such things as ghosts. People everywhere have always known that. And we believe in them every bit as much as Homer did. Only now, we call them by different names. Memory. The unconscious.”
-Donna Tartt; The Secret History

Fifth chapter out now on Wattpad.
“We angels do not need to sleep, much less to eat or drink, but sometimes we do it anyway for pure pleasure. The nights, therefore, for the guardians who watch over their protégés, when the latter are at home to sleep, represent the foundation of hours of reflection, reading, writing and intellectual growth.”

! this is the Italian version of “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt !
“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
-Donna Tartt; The Secret History
“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
-Donna Tartt; The Secret History
“Soon after, Eva also arrives, wearing her Greek female tunic, decorated like mine. Her wavy hair falls on her shoulders like tongues of fire and illuminates her entire slender figure, like a classical statue. I imagine her coming out of the Parthenon, in the role of a queen. She is beautiful to say the least. May the Olympian Gods be with her.”
(Chapter IV)

PLEASE READ THIS, IT’S IMPORTANT.
this is a friendly reminder that we should support all artists, of all kinds, who are currently alive. this is because they need help and love for their art more than any other. just reading and sharing a book still not very famous or any new work of art and so on to warm the hearts of these emerging artists and encourage them to continue on their journey. the artists who are no longer alive have been fantastic, it’s true, but the artists who are alive now need more support and appreciation than the previous ones.
Fourth chapter out now on Wattpad.
“I have tried to suppress these strange feelings, this sympathy towards her, but the efforts have been in vain. I am a stranger to this kind of emotion. I have never felt anything for mortals other than pain for their cruel actions that lead to self-destruction, so it is hard for me to understand what makes her so different in my eyes.”

I just created a playlist dedicated to “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt and these songs remind me of the various characters. I can’t get this book out of my mind, but at least now I can daydream about them while listening to music.
I leave you the link below, in case you want to share these vibes with me <3
guys I think I’m going crazy. since I finished “The Secret History”, I can’t stop thinking about Henry Winter. maybe his end made me love him even more, it’s so tragic. I just fucking love him. somebody help me.
hi everyone!
I just downloaded Goodreads, added some of the books and comics I have read and gave them a rating. I haven’t understood well how the app works yet, but if you want to add me to exchange readings and chat, I leave you the link below <3
the agony you fall into as soon as you finish a book that has changed your life is unbearable. it’s slow and wears you out from within, making you burn in solitude. everything around you is different and it’s as if you ended up with the book itself.
