Auguste Ottin, Polyphemus surprising Acis and Galatea, Fontaine Médicis, Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris.

“Dionysus is a god who takes human form, a powerful male who looks soft and feminine, a native of Thebes who dresses as a foreigner. His parentage is mixed between divine and human; he is and is not a citizen of Thebes; his power has both feminine and masculine aspects. He does not merely cross boundaries, he blurs and confounds them, makes nonsense of the lines between Greek and foreign, between female and male, between powerful and weak, between savage and civilized. He is the god of both tragedy and comedy, and in his presence the distinction between them falls away, as both comedy and tragedy…”

— Paul Woodruff, The Bacchae (Translated and Annotated) 

Why limit yourself between choosing a pretty feminine aesthetic or a dark one? If Persephone can be the Goddess of Spring and the Queen of the Underworld at the same time so can you.

types of dark academics

the romantic: is in love with either someone from the French Revolution or with a fictional character; thought Hamlet was boring until Ophelia came in; would die for each and every single of the Dead Poets Society guys (except Cameron); reads sonnets at night and tries to memorize them for future conversations; Brontë; hates coffee, drinks at least three cups of cheap earl grey everyday; writes but you’ll never read it; allergic to Instagram poetry.

the scholar: is fluent in either Greek, Latin or French, probably downloaded duolingo for that purpose; has to drink coffee to function but never iced; gags for Lord Byron, Whitman and Shakespeare; is taking philosophy, regrets not taking literature; sucker for history; typewriters; tweed jackets; Oxford shoes; dark lipstick; everyone’s convinced they’ve murdered someone; listens to classical music exclusively.

the artist: wants to share art but always chickens out last minute; handwriting so elaborate it’s illegible; hates analyzing books but loves reading them; terrible poetry in notes app; patterned ties with every outfit; art galleries on Sundays; wants to live inside The Secret History and If We Were Villains; identifies Oscar Wilde as their father; shirts with the POOFIEST sleeves; has written a love letter at least thrice; would totally buy art pieces if they had money.

the dreamer: writes messages on their desk then exchanges messages with people who write on the same desk; words, phrases, definitions in smudged ink on hands; daydreaming while listening to piano music; has started reading 100 books in the last year, has finished 7; Romeo and Juliet is their favorite Shakespeare work; Emily Dickinson; Pride and Prejudice; dainty jewelry with sweaters and plaid skirts; beautiful notes for everything except maths.

When all else fails, trust in the art that is always there for centuries witnessing the rise and fall of mankind. And here to witness you lift your chin to the aether once more.
