oh to have the cute literary student fall in love with you as you lock eyes through the bookshelves in the abandoned part of the library where only few come
dark academia study techniques
rewriting your notes, over and over and over again, not worrying about the neatness but paying close attention to each and every word
muttering every bit you know by heart under your breath as you walk down the streets
studying early in the morning, focusing on one sentence or chapter and pondering it through the day
researching things that you have questions about on your own, finding books on that subject and leafing through them
reciting your notes dramatically to your household companion or your stuffed animal
challenging yourself to think, speak, write and consume media only in your target language
eating certain snacks with different subjects and letting the smells trigger your memories
associating each subject to someone you know by sight only
romanticising bits that you have difficulty getting interested in
chanting your notes at night on a classical tune

Well, hello. I usually paint portraits in oil. But now that I’ve got a tablet and PS, they open up the opportunity for artistic exploration that would normally take a long time via traditional methods. I don’t have to wait 2 days for a layer to dry for a start... so that’s encouraging.
Anyways, I like Good Omens. It also happens to be the perfect context to examine different art styles from Renaissance to Victorian times. I started this little historical Good Omens art series last month. Let’s begin with Golgotha Aziraphale and Crowley as Rembrandt style oil portraits :)
the sun sets late these days and i love to see which new corners of my house the light discovers every evening
