The Dark Academia Aesthetic Is Already Taking Over My Instagram

a concept: scene academia

- kandi bracelets with literature quotes

- a blazer over a my chemical romance shirt

- wearing raccoon eyeliner to an academic event or poetry reading

- playing classical music on electric guitar or bass

- detailed notes in sparkly pink notebooks

- vandalized oxfords

- academic clothes, but bright colors

- tidy blue hair

-anticapitalism

- writing a musical analysis of classic literature

i am used to being lonely but forever to be a stranger is a strange grief.

I love how 1800s ladies’ hair looks like when they’ve brushed out their rag curls and the day is over and their hair just looks so cozy and wonderful

dark academia is basically what happens when you combine the chaotic energy of slytherins and ravenclaws

Why did we stop with ballroom dances??? Like seriously to waltz around a room with a handsome stranger to classical music while others look at us with envy and after the music ends both of you with flushed cheeks, breathing fast, the sexual tension ; that was the shit.
