Anyway Unpopular Opinion Probably But The School System (and General Book Snobbery) Fucks Up By Trying

Anyway unpopular opinion probably but the school system (and general book snobbery) fucks up by trying to force kids to read "classics" before they have the mental and emotional development to appreciate them.

This post is me telling you to consider revisiting that classic book you read in the 7th grade that you hated because the ability to understand a lot of literature gets unlocked later, for reasons a lot to do with emotional maturity

Dating a dark academic:

If you have watched Pride and Prejudice (2005) and have been disappointed that you will never get to experience that kind of a courtship, well, you were wrong.

Unlimited oversized warm sweaters and blazers for you to borrow (steal) from their closet.

They write the BEST LETTERS. Expect long letters in dark ink and loopy handwriting, probably written on a coffee stained ancient piece of paper with heartfelt declarations of love to make you cry.

Dates at the museums and art galleries. (Stolen kisses in the restricted section.)

If you're also someone who loves to read, your dark academic will gift you loads of paperbacks with flowers pressed between the pages or a well loved copy of their favourite book with little notes scribbled in the margins (that's a gateway to their soul, keep it carefully).

Visiting gothic libraries together and roaming hand in hand while staring at the antique books with thick spines and reading together in the dimly lit corners.

They'll take you to nearby castles to watch the sunset and have a romantic little picnic.

You will act tired of them declaring their love for you by quoting Wordsworth or Keats or Wilde but you'll love it secretly.

Listening to soft classical music together with your hands wandering around or making out in the rain with them.

You can walk hand in hand in strange new streets to discover quaint little cafes but they'll always order a strongly brewed cup of tea or a tall mug of black coffee wherever they go.

They have a classy sense of fashion and though you tease them by calling their outfits pretentious, they are always the best dressed person in the room (but you won't ever admit that).

They'll give you little gifts (yes, exactly like 19th century's courting rituals) like chunky beautiful rings with a pretty gemstone, or an antique silver pendant, a vintage scarf from their favourite thrift shop or a beautiful piece of art they've made or a heartfelt poem they've composed for you.

They can appear to be broody and dark (Mr. Darcy-like) but don't worry they're just a big softie on the inside who'll melt as soon as you hug them and blush profusely when you suddenly kiss their cheek.
