We are born in the heat of affection, in the need of love and we die in the cold bed of dejection with many dreams remaining untouched.

My Academia

☆ letting ladybugs and other bugs live in your apartment during the winter, to prolong their life just a little bit more

☆ drinking coffee with whipped cream

☆ reading by candlelight with a Ramones t shirt on

☆ listening to music constantly

☆ obsessing over musicians

☆ studying random subjects and writing small essays to remember the content

☆ using oracle cards to determine why you feel like shit

☆ burning incense (SO MUCH INCENSE)

☆ staying up late because you won't get tired until 3 am anyways

☆ having so many notebooks for various things (diary, studying, drawing, commonplace book)

☆ using a candle to illuminate your room at night because you can HEAR the lamp buzzing

☆ rereading the same 3 books that are your absolute favorites (the starless sea, girl interrupted, what I leave behind)

☆ getting books from the library to study with (because your laptop won't work and using your phone is too cumbersome)

☆ talking to trees, water and candles like they're your friends

☆ writing affirmations on note cards and torn pieces of notebook paper and taping them to your wall

☆ painstakingly writing out the lyrics to your favorite songs on sketchbook paper

☆ taping calender pictures to your walls as posters

☆ being awful at spelling but having a large vocabulary and constantly learning new words

☆ getting old books from those little outside libraries

☆ collecting leaves that have fallen from trees that just call to you

☆ speaking poetically to comfort someone

☆ searching for and highlighting homoerotic subtext in everything you read or watch

☆ having pens lying around and NEVER using pencils because they scratch the paper

☆ randomly getting the urge to listen to music and walk around like it's an addiction

☆ putting classical music playlists on in the background because you can't listen to silence

☆ illegally downloading pdfs of books and sharing them for free

☆ never letting people borrow your physical books because they're Too Important

☆ collecting trinkets and keeping them in a ceramic box you painted 8 years ago

☆ yearning for a lover but being too scared to ever talk to anyone you like

☆ not really dressing dark academia because Whatever, Who Cares, Your Style Is Your Own To Cultivate

☆ constantly talking to yourself and having deep introspective conversations

☆ having stuffed animals on your couch because Who Cares

☆ making lists and keeping track of things that no one else cares about

this is just the first design drafts for the 60s trio, sorry if I'm bugging you with all my asks. I wanted to get your input on how you'd like them to look, as I'm not too fond of these designs.

First, with the glases, is Sun. I made his ear a bit more elvish, along with making him have a bit of a pouty lip. I realy couldn't decide between plump or lanky. I wanted to have him dress more dark/ warm acedemia.

Second is Vio, he was semi designed after elvis, mostly vibe wise. I wanted him to be slightly provocative (for the time) . not much to say on him.

Lastly, is dice, I wanted him a bit more muscular, but legit made him look like a mob boss lmao. again, not much on him, just that the cigar could be bigger.

I am in desperate need of feedback and direction.

first off, you would never ever bug me w/ your asks so never think that, okay? it's always a pleasure seeing you in my inbox🥺🩷 honestly, you have sm to be proud abt with the 60's trio bc i am genuinely loving the designs, like you did so well matching the vibe of the times w/ each of them. i'm gonna go ahead and think that they're all a bit older than their contemporary counterparts,, also adding now that i love all the clothing designs for them❗️❗️

warm academia sun is the only concept ever so im loving it. his freckles are also the cutest addition, your creative insight really gives him such a nice rounded look overall, i feel like he'd take care of his appearance a lot so his hairstyle is smth i actually quite like here too. from the perspective he's in rn it's out of shot anyway but his cheek moles are the only thing left,, you did him perfect🥰 (his expression is so cute, pouty lip sun >>>>)

i am really really loving vio's design icl, i can see him as popular in the public but dabbling in shady business behind the scenes and that is the ✨️image✨️ nothing to say abt him other than i really really like how you drew his cheekbones haha

i actually also really like dice's mob boss look too, the thicker eyebrows and chin dimple i think really make the 60s theme pop. might get a couple of loose strands from his hair bc yk it's gonna fall out of place when he's dealing with his subordinates (they do everything wrong) he also has a few beauty marks, but they're not crazy frequent on his face so it works w/o them as well

but all in all, i love what you've done!! take your creative liberties w/ it, bc where you're starting off is really working for them. always know that there can never be a wrong version when it comes to interpretation😌✨️

Experiencing something very specific rn, but I love how when I think of Nightmare he falls into the category of 'nah, that's just a tired father/guardian of many traumatized guys', and I was looking for song playlists expecting Dark Acedemia vibes and such but like... it's all edgy and dramatic and either Rock or EDM and I'm just sitting here like ???. Forgor that my twisted little perception of this guy is not universal and he's often portrayed as Cool and Evil and Destructive. Not just Tired.
