#dark academia aesthetic
“he is half my soul, as the poets say”

it’s halloween month and in spirit I started reading dorian gray and got the urge to draw a portrait of my own goth man draped on a velvet armchair and brooding but sexy
I love how this letter came out, I can’t wait to show you the details after it arrives overseas
I miss the quiet rooms of art galleries

We are supposed to write a fifteen-page-essay on American literature next semester and I’m going to write about If We Were Villains and compare it to Shakespearean tragedies and their characters. You best believe I’m going to live my best dark academia life:
- massive amounts of tea
- late night research sessions in the library
- going through mountains of pages filled with my messy handwriting, trying to put my ideas together
- reenacting scenes to fully immerse into the story and the characters
- spending my nights watching plays on youtube because I don’t have the chance to see them in person
- going crazy over all the homoerotic tension (in both IWWV and Shakespeare)
- pretending to actually go to Dellecher, having like five minutes before I have to get going to not be late to the annual playing of MacBeth
- OR pretending to go to Hampden, waiting for Henry to burst in and tell me that they’ve killed a man
okay, okay, but consider: a ‘the secret history’ movie adaptation with a soundtrack made by Lorde
