messy handwriting that’s a combination between cursive and print. books with folded down corners. clear tea cups with peppermint tea. coffee rings on book pages. rain stained windows. freshly started garden filled with poppys. the smell of coffee cake in the oven. an absurd amount of missed calls. late nights sprawled out in crisis on your bedroom floor. the tapping of a pen repeatedly on a desk. mismatched socks.

Arabic dark academia consists of drinking black Arabic coffee while listening to um Kalthoum and learning about constellations.
Light Arabic academia is wearing white loose conservative clothing, sipping sweet mint tea, and humming 'ahwak' to oneself in a sunny garden.
I adore the traditional afghan dresses. Beautifully captured.
“د مسافرو یاري مه کړه تا به د زړه په رنځ اخته کړي دوی به ځینه Do not fall in love with wanderers You will drown your heart in sorrow And they will leave.”
— Pashto landay
Books are the foundations of the soul. The building blocks of our very own character.

Dark Academia Gift Ideas!
I was looking for some dark academia gift idea lists, but couldn’t find any, so i’ve compiled my own list of affordable gifts for a anyone who loves the DA aesthetic! Feel free to reblog to add to the list! :)
• notebooks with cute designs (Paperblanks make beautiful ones, but are on the more expensive side)
• a fountain pen
• DIY or shop-bought quill
• accessories such as scarves, socks or jewellery (cute scarves and jewellery can be found in second hand shops or on etsy)
• vintage/antique knick-knacks like tins, spectacles, drinking glasses, ornaments etc
• books! I recommend looking in charity/second hand shops for cheap books
• candles or incense or accessories like candle holders etc
• a tea set, or part of a tea set (teapot, cup and saucer)
Na manam, na manam yara! Marg anjaam da hastay na de.
Khlasidal sharab pa jaam ke, ikhtitaam da mastay ne de.
Nah! I dont believe, i dont agree with it, death is not the end of existence.
Finishing up a cup of wine, is not the end of joy.
