Dark academia playlist 🖤

You asked for it, and it’s finally here 🌹 As a thank you for 15k goths, all of which I love, I give you my dark academia playlist 🖤

This playlist is a combination of songs by artists that I like that I think fall into the DA aesthetic and songs I noticed to be popular in DA. I hope you enjoy 🖤🦇🖤

black lives matter.

As someone who spends a *lot* of time online, especially with the current half-online schooling system my school uses, I thought it would be helpful to share some apps, websites and extensions that make my learning experience a lot easier! I’ve seen a lot of master posts like this by other studyblrs, but I often get overwhelmed by the many options they recommend for each function; so I thought I’d share the ones that I find work the best for me :)

Drawboard PDF - helpful for annotating and reading PDFs!

Grammarly - great for correcting English grammar!

Virtual Cottage - very cute lil productivity tracker; plays lofi & rain sounds, kind of like forest but cuter! Has a full-screen option.

JEKYLL, THAT’S NOT FUCKING WATER!!

completed Jekyll and Hyde animatic

Neil and Todd sharing tender looks while Charlie recites She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron:

“She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.”

I love how the scene’s focus is not on the girl’s reaction to the poem that’s being read to her, but mostly on these two. Very interesting.

thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love

Edinburgh was beautiful

richard siken, crush // my chemical romance, burn bright // william shakespeare, sonnet 108 // troye sivan, heaven // homer, the iliad // louis tomlinson, only the brave // madeline miller, the song of achilles

This is the best time for you to invest in something new, pls read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller !

Oh my god these bitches gay! Good for them

it’s not a coincidence that the words homeric and homoerotic are so similar to each other and that’s on achilles and patroclus send tweet

thinking about andrew garfield and the fact that he said yes i do believe in love at first sight but i also believe that you would love absolutely anybody if you knew their story i also believe that the modern notion of romantic love is seriously misguided and it creates a lot of problems in our modern world i believe that we need to reevaluate this idea that we have of the nuclear family this idea that we have of 2.4 children this idea that we have that it’s adam and eve and not adam and steve i believe that um it’s possible for all of us to be in love all the time with ourselves and with everyone around us

let’s bring back romanticism i’m tired of trying to be rational, we’re all dumb and we all want love

turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it's 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they're gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what's happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone's going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don't know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we're a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there's twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can't do anything to stop them. they've violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don't think they'll rest until every last one of us is dead.

we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we're not asking for a lot here.

romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won't cure your mental illness, but it'll make it easier to exist in this world.
