Dark Academia But You Live In The Countryside

dark academia but you live in the countryside

wax jackets (barbour or similar) with lots of pockets… you can carry so many books in a poacher’s pocket

battered leather boots that were smart once

walking through a village graveyard with the sun at your back, warming you slightly in the crisp morning

always carrying a pocketknife (opinels are preferable)

tweed jackets - practical and warm (and classic da)

sketching the animals and plants around you and pinning them up in your room

collecting insects and labelling them neatly in their boxes

finding a sun-bleached sheep skull on a mountainside and taking it home

wandering across fields and moors with no particular aim in mind, and a hip flask full of whisky to keep you warm

stone churches in tiny villages, the smell of old bibles, sun through stained glass windows

taking a stack of books down to the river to sit and read in the sun

riding your bike down to the village library, occupying the only table for the afternoon

paddling barefoot down freezing streams, trousers rolled to your knees, cutting your feet on the rocks and feeling alive

Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives):

he's regularly sent to flirt with cops and paramedics to hustle information out of them, he's the canonical office hottie and I, for once, think he was right to blow up those fucking clowns

Graham Casner (The White Vault):

Peter Joseph Lewis hottest voice of all time

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

Carpenter strikes me as someone who always has sunglasses of some sort. Like to hide as much of her face/emotions as possible. To hide any hangover (from lack of sleep) or need for a cappuccino that one might have.

The big cosplayer question of all time but do you have any inspiration for how some of our main characters dress? Is it all practical with small hints towards the faith, or full southern gothic with long skirts and tattered lace? I’m only about halfway in but itching to start making something, especially for Carpenter or the twins that we got a great description of already!!

I would trend towards practical, and am not great with this stuff anyway, but I get the impression part of the joy of cosplay is elevated realism, right? So no reason you couldn't go hard on the full southern gothic*

*although I definitely do not see Carpenter in lace or skirts. Carpenter wears bovver boots and they are the most important item of clothing to her, being used for both walking and kicking.
