I am only a handful of crappy humans interactions away from going absolutely feral and running away to some ancient forest and becoming a new local myth.

The smell of warm tea and playing video games while it's gloomy outside and listening to cryptid videos and music-

Cozy cryptid activities :::3

dark academia on a poor university student budget

Because tuition is expensive and my job doesn't pay much.

•─•°•❀•°•─•

Letter-writing. Decorate the margins with simple doodles that you know they'd appreciate. Find your own, distinctive sign-off. (You can also do this online by customising emails, Google Docs links, etc.)

Libraries. Campus libraries and their hum of student chatter. Once they begin to get too loud for your liking, visit a public library and study amongst the towering shelves.

Thrifting. Slowly phase old porcelain tableware into your kitchen. Walk to class in a gently-battered long coat. Thumb through copies of classics with worn corners and an old love note on the inside cover. Especially if you find an ornate teacup or mug that you can keep at your study space to be completely yours.

Make it yourself. Press flowers between heavy books and use them as decoration in your journal or sketchbook. Cut up some scrap paper and make bookmarks with your favourite book quotes.

Explore. Wander around public parks in your favourite pullover or blazer, taking photos or sketching whatever it is that catches your interest. Investigate back corridors and secret passages on your campus.

Read all those books in your TBR. (I know you have a lot on there.)

Journal, write, sketch, paint, compose... indulge in whatever creative respite you choose. Create.

Moss probably feels so comforting and soft to old statues. I want to be covered in moss too!!!

I made a sweater!! ｡⋆·₊˚\(๑^ω^๑)/ ˚₊·⋆｡㇏(˶^ᵥᵥ^˶)ノ˚₊·⋆｡

This is the first clothing item I've made (human-sized, anyway) and I'm very happy with how it turned out! ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ .·₊˚·♡❀♡❀♡·˚₊·.

It's made entirely out of granny squares, with a few half or two-third squares for widening the upper sleeves. It's a little puckered on some spots, and some yarn ends poke out every once in a while, but I still like it :)

I used multi-coloured yarn for most of it, so the colour distribution is more inconsistent. After I ran out of that yarn, I used a few solid-coloured yarns and switched colours every once in a while to make the last few squares I needed.
