Guess I can post this here too I'm still very confused....
oh look its half of my aesthetics
a friend encountered while on a run; my blurry notes on a physics lab. my friend and I last year, unaware of what the year 2020 would bring. the graveyard I pass on the way to campus.

i think writing fanfiction is easier than writing original stories because there are restrictions. You known, like characterization or past events or genres. Because some flowers can only grow if they have a wall to climb
oh my god and when girls say ‘girlfriend’ but mean it in a friend way i get an aneurysm no joke
do you ever just talk to straight ppl about boys and they assume you too are straight and then its like theres a sign above your head that says “there is one imposter among us”
was thinking about how because the only dance aziraphale can do is the galvonette and crowley can only do some shitty disco dancing their dance at their wedding would be a mess but THEN i realized that they wouldn't just dive in and wing it. no. they'd practice dancing together for weeks in preparation, stepping on each other's toes and bickering over the sound of some demonstrative video that they end up replaying dozens of times
hey! dark academia tips for a beginner?
Hey, thanks for sending! Here are my best tips for amateur dark academics:
1. Indulge intellectually stimulating activities. Dark academics are always looking to learn more, do more, and be more. Do things that better your brain, such as researching. Find a topic that interests you— one that cannot be easily answered by a simple Google search and collect as much information as you can about it. And despite popular belief, that topic doesn’t have to be literature-based; it can be abnormal psychology, French history, hell— anything your heart desires and your brain would benefit from knowing.
2. Improve your penmanship. Dark academics are always taking notes, annotating, and scribbling things down in their journals. Said notes are usually in cursive or at the least—legible. And what’s worse than distasteful penmanship? Not only will this help you channel your inner dark academic, the people who have to read what you write won’t have to squint and sigh when reading it.
3. Drink more herbal teas and rich coffees. Tea and coffee are probably the two most consumed beverages by dark academics. Tea is relaxing, nice to sip after a laborious day at work or school and coffee is stimulating, a nice early morning wake-up beverage for a majority of the human population.
4. Learn about the classics. This is not exclusive to books and authors. If you’re more of a movie person, like myself, don’t hesitate to go back in time and learn what you can about the most iconic screenwriters of say… the 1940s. If you’re into vintage music, learn what you wish about the most influential musicians of the time. You can never go wrong with vintage! Well… except the racism, homophobia, sexism, slavery, classism, and poor tastes in eyebrow makeup, but that’s a discussion for later.
5. Purchase clothing of darker and earthier tones. This isn’t an absolute must, but many correlate the clothing with the aesthetic, so it would be a helpful identifier if you want the world to know that you’re a dark academic. By “dark and earthier tones”, I mean shades of brown, dark greens— including forest green and sage, greys and of course, blacks. Stay away from the ostentatious neons and pastels, as this is more common in the cottagecore aesthetics. Plaid and tweed are also treasured amongst the dark academia community, but they certainly don’t look good on everyone, so find what works for you. Dark academics also LOVE button-down blouses—especially ones with unique sleeves and Victorian-Era designs.
You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg curating your wardrobe, either. I personally purchase most of my clothing from thrift stores and online resell sites, such as Depop and Poshmark because they’re so much cheaper than buying them new.
6. Opt for darker makeup. This is pretty self-explanatory— wear darker lipstick shades and darker eyeshadow, if you wish. Also, you don’t have to conceal your eyebags, as they give an enigmatic depth to most people’s eyes.
That’s all I have right now, I hope this was helpful!

I’m not sure whether I love or hate that modern math textbook word problems are more diverse than modern media
Step it up media.
