Want to feel like a dark academic while relaxing? Here are a few ways to practice self-care in a dark academia way:
- Read Dracula/Frankenstein/anything by Edgar Allen Poe on a stormy night while wrapped up in a blanket with a warm drink.
- Recite Shakespearean monologues to your pets.
- Read The Picture of Dorian Gray out loud to your plants.
- Brew your favorite tea for yourself.
- Fling yourself onto a divan (make it homoerotic as possible).
- Take a bath with rose petals with some Hozier songs playing in the background.
- Read the Odyssey on the beach.
- Go out into nature and read some of Keats’s poems.
- Listen to classical music while making crafts.
- Watch a historical documentary.
- Knit a neutral-colored cardigan or sweater.
- Pick some mushrooms in a forest, if you see some college kids in Dionysian madness, mind your business.
Hozier fans: Imagine DECOMPOSING! in a BOG! With your LOVER! Hnngghh I YEARN to turn into MOSS!
Everyone else: wot
Challenge:
Right now, yes I mean RIGHT NOW, fling yourself onto the nearest piece of furniture as a tribute to Oscar Wilde.
Any dark academic born after 1950 can’t write, all they know is make moodboard, be gay, go on tumblr, find homoerotic subtext, yearn and lie.
was just trying to type the phrase “deadly epidemics” and accidentally wrote “deadly academics” instead
You just summarized dark academia
you can never be overdressed or overeducated

Hi guys, you should check out this SUPER cool blog —> @sonespritfragile (it’s not like it’s my person account or anything)
Creating art is fun and can be a great way to express yourself but it can also be an uniquely isolating experience if you do not have anyone to share it to. Here on this blog, I’m lucky to have people from all over the world who contribute to my posts, whereas my blog not being your typical art blog as the photography isn’t mine and the stories are often people’s from the past. I still, in a way, identify that to be creative. My point is, my aim for this blog was to make a safe and positive community. If you are a fellow artist, photographer, history buff or something else related to the Arts, I’d like to make a one time opportunity to share some of your work.
Speaking of pursuing your creativity, please spend a few minutes of your time to check out the wonderful @dimitrianddarkacademia but they are more well known for their Instagram which you can find of their profile. A lot of their posts include quotes which are near and dear to their heart amongst a mixture of art and photography. Let’s support each other!
For those of you who aren’t following me on Instagram or Twitter, why? My ego is hurt.
I just wanna rest my head on a girl’s chest and have her play with my hair and whisper soft praises at me while I slowly fall asleep on top of her.
