was trying to get some inspiration for a love letter and I found this…the tenderness
i can’t tell is this person is flirting with me or not
actually i can’t tell if two people are flirting with or just being nice
one girl compliments me everyday like yesterday she said i looked like a sunset and if i’m walking slightly behind she’ll turn and wait for me but idk if she’s just being nice ?
and the other person really compliments me when we’re messaging and they’re really nice and message me saying hi or just a picture of them everyday and idk if that’s flirting or just friendship
pls help
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.
I would give anything to read about the winter Bunny and Henry spend together in Rome. Please. Just two hundred pages of Bunny eating gelato and annoying the ever living shit out of Henry. Please. That’s all I want.

My dream home is either:
An ancient Greek temple where I may receive prophetic visions
A gothic cathedral with plenty of alluring vampires
An old library filled with first-edition books
A forest clearing with many friendly cicadas trying to eat me
A quiet manor in the English countryside with ivy creeping up the walls
Wherever the ghost of Shakespeare lives
i’m coining a new literary criticism called feralism and it’s when you wildly misread the text as a glamorization of hedonism like how we as a society read the great gatsby and now want to throw banging 20s themed gatsby parties or read the secret history and want to hold a bacchanal. it recognizes literature as a vessel for the repressed human need to just lose your fucking mind.
History:
guy to my teacher-‘you know woody from toy story’s bi?’ ‘really? well there always was a vibe between him and buzz’
‘I thought Carlisle was near Newcastle’ ‘No, it’s on the other side of the country’
‘Emily, would you ever kill someone?’- shouted across the classroom
‘I don’t even know what a citizen is! Am I a citizen?!’
Biology:
‘sir, you are not a perv!’
‘oh my god! what an absolute ledge!’
‘why are punching holes on the cover of your book?’
‘no Ethan, you can’t add me on snapchat’
‘god, how did you not hear what i said? are you deaf or what?’ ‘umm i’m deaf in one ear’
English:
‘while watching Romeo + Juliet - ‘wow what a turn out’
‘ohh Romeos’ such a lad!’
‘woah bit extreme there’
‘they’re complete drama queens!’
‘well, you see this guy just nicked a boat, went to the middle of a lake and had his sexual awakening because he saw a mountain’
‘here’s me sitting on a toilet with no walls or roof while i was in Australia’
Spanish:
‘i asked a girl why her hair was like that (it was a weird style) and she turned around ‘i have alopecia’ God i wanted to die!’
‘waiit, you have the same birthday? thats mental!’
‘go see if he’s in the bathroom or SSC’ ‘i think we’ve lost him miss’
‘so did he really just stab himself in his hand? you didn’t do it?’ ‘well simply, yeah’
i’ll probably to them later if i remember or if more happen
