Women in Dark Academia

Stay up all night only to finish that book they bought few days ago.

Their philosophy about studying does not include only getting high grades, they simply love learning , Knowledge is power people !

They possess more than one commun place book where they feel comfortable to collect and write inspiring ideas, quotes, interesting books titles, poetry verses or song lyrics.

They live for sending handwritten letters to their loved ones.

They take notes of basically everything they find captivating so they can learn more about it later.

They don’t care at all about the trending beauty standards because they’ve grown to develop an appreciative eye for every living thing and believing that the real beauty is the beauty of the mind and soul.

Their favorite seasons of the year are autumn and winter so they won’t have excuses for them staying inside for days reading books , wearing warm comfy clothes and drinking tons of tea and coffee. 

 Sometimes they wake up very early only to watch the sunrise while daydreaming about a life they could live , or imagining themselves being the main protagonist of a book they may write someday while listening to some classical music.

Their favorite moments of the week are meeting  up with their close friends at libraries , cafes or going out for long walks where they feel free to talk for hours about every idea that comes in mind.

 Their clothing style is mainly based on wearing dark bottoms , rigid and comfortable boots , long scarfs and of course over sized warm coats with big pokets able to carry a whole book.

 They have a little weakness for dark lipsticks and shady make up.

Love Practicing painting , drawing and other arts.

Buy a lot of cinnamon and vanilla candles.

Attend museums , exhibitions and theaters alone or  accompanied by family and friends.

They are passionate about learning latin and Greek phrases.

But consider this: women loving women in a dark academia setting

- long strands of hair that cling to a girls’ back as she emerges from the water of the lake, bathed in moonlight and the glow of the windows of the old stone buildings

- throwing around lines of Sapphos fragments, acting as though it is just a meaningless game 

- sleeves of white collar shirts rolled up to her elbows, hair falling into her face, glasses sliding down her nose as she sits over history books for hours on end

- wandering the halls at midnight 

- squeezing into small nooks to not get caught, she distinctly smells of the earth and rain

- her playing the male lead in a play because there simply wasn’t a better fit (and those clothes would fit no one the same way they fit her)

if you ever get the chance to live poetry instead of reading it, take it. i promise it’s worth it. shout the verses at the quiet night, laugh hysterically reciting a sonnet, fall to your knees in the middle of a soliloquy. don’t leave the words on their pages, make them burn your throat and shatter the universe.

[dark-cottagecore]

I have made the decision to wear a cloak instead of a winter coat this upcoming autumn and winter and nobody can stop me. I promise it’ll be stylish and fashionable.

Here’s my first attempt at clay jewelry!!

Gay culture is seeing any cottage in the forest or old house with flowers and planning your entire future with your future significant other. I’m not complaining.

[dark-cottagecore]

I give up my physical body, I propose normalizing dropping all responsibilities in life and existing solely as a celestial being. Maybe I’ll find a soulmate somewhere along the way.

[dark-cottagecore]

Well, that break was a lot longer than I had expected, my apologies. I have been struggling with my anxiety lately and I’ve been in a pretty bad depressive episode. But content is on its way! I hope you all are well

i don’t think i was meant to be a person. i think i was meant to be a small mushroom growing on a decomposing log deep in the forest. i think that would be ideal.

✨Oh, hello there, it’s 12:10 am and I’m on the phone with my significant other and I have decided If in the future we don’t have a cottage in the middle of nowhere where we raise cows, and sheep, harvesting their wool for sweaters and milk for strawberry milk. Then Spending our evenings drinking homemade tea from our garden and eating frog shaped bread while cuddling and reading Victorian poetry to eachother, then Idon’t want it ✨
