I love dark academia because it's such a twist on reality. It's like living like everyone else lives but in a more exciting way. You care about details, you perform mundane tasks with such passion, you read books like there's no tomorrow. It's almost as if there's this imaginary parallel universe that you're transported to once you're into the dark academia aesthetic.
It’s Barricade Day so time for another emotional watching Les Mis!
i’d do it even if circumstance deemed it not necessary
(for legal reasons, this is a joke)
i relate to henry winter a lot because i too am a chaotic bisexual who would murder a sexist homophobic asshole if the circumstances deemed it necessary.
i didn’t realise how much i would love sixth form at a college especially at one where i didn’t think i would ever go.
i also didn’t think english literature would overtake history as my favourite but it has and i am loving it so much! my english teacher is like one from the films! she just wants us to explore everything we can in poems it doesn’t matter what it is she just wants us to really get them! i’m just letting all of weird ideas about them go and she’s like “amazing! i love it!” aaaggh
why didn’t anyone tell me how good english teachers could be ????
(also it’s my 17th birthday today!)

Oh I really do enjoy how the 2020s are shaping up to be a lot like the 1920s. You get a generation of lost kids that grew up during a war. They reject their parents conservative attitudes. The youth has created a resurgence of Dadaism and Nihilism that the older generations don’t understand. An artistic boom replacing the materialistic tendencies of our parents. The queer community is thriving in a way that it hasent been in years. Activism and socialist ideologies are on the rise again. How wonderful. It makes me want to go to Paris and be the next Gertrude Stein
