I’ve been getting into sketching with fountain pens, I love the way it looks!

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

i think as a society we should bring back fancy dinner parties where you listen to classical music and discuss the shakespearean sonnets and the romantics & philosophical debates held by literary societies full of dedicated students who are passionate about critical theory and aestheticism & poetry readings in jazz cafés that last well into the night and leave you with a sense of having shared an intimate experience with strangers because all of you have felt the same words echo in your soul

slytherin is

long walks in the snow; a gentle blush across your cheeks on a cold day; knitting by candlelight; reading shakespeare even though you don't understand it, just because it looks impressive; choosing favourites from the younger students; someone pushing a curl behind your ear; forehead kisses; fountain pens; black coffee with too much sugar; crying to classical music; writing love letters; being sent flowers by your lover; silver jewellery; messy french braids; eating mint choc chip ice cream instead of an actual meal; being best friends with your professors.
