#reading aesthetic
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
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
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
Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment.
