🖤 10 Cool Dark Academia Writing Prompts for Your Next Obsession 🕯️📓

a.k.a. “what if your WIP smelled like old books and reeked of moral decay”

A top student is found dead in the library archives. No one remembers seeing them for weeks, except you, who has a stack of annotated letters written in their handwriting, all dated after they died.

A professor vanishes mid-lecture. Your friend swears the man is still in the room, just in a version of it that the rest of you can’t perceive. And they're starting to draw diagrams of the “other room” on the walls of your dorm.

The most exclusive club on campus only lets in ten members a year. You’re the eleventh who wasn’t invited, but somehow you’re still receiving the club’s nightly riddles. And they’re… personal.

You find a half-burned play manuscript inside a chapel crypt. The final act is missing. When you stage the play for your theatre class, everyone cast in it starts seeing things. Including you.

Your roommate is building a machine to prove time is a loop. It starts working. Every night at 3:41 AM, you wake up screaming the same phrase in a language you don’t speak.

A student writes a scathing essay on a forgotten philosopher’s work, and then disappears. Now the pages of your textbook are rewriting themselves with notes in the same vicious tone.

Someone in your friend group isn’t human. They told you this in passing, like it wasn’t a big deal. You’re starting to realize they meant it literally.

There’s a new elective no one remembers enrolling in. The syllabus reads like a ritual. You’re three weeks in before realizing: the class is teaching you how to forget.

You inherit a locked journal from your estranged uncle, a disgraced historian. Every page you unlock rewrites a piece of the past, and the people around you shift with it.

A girl who went missing last semester is back. She’s quiet, distant, never blinks, and claims to have solved death as a final exam.

🕯️ Which one are you stealing for your next WIP? Be honest.

The SS Cap Arcona and SS Wilhelm Gustloff. Probably the two worst maritime disasters in World War II, but no one ever talks about them. Here they are docked side by side.

The Leviathan (built es Vaterland in 1914 for the HAPAG), leaving Boston docks for her sea trials. The photo is part of a series made by Leslie Jones, documenting the Leviathans reconversion into an US line - ocean liner in New York and Boston in 1923.

The italian Rex (1932) arriving in New York on September 16th 1939. The photo was taken from Cunard’s Aquitania (1914), which at that time (World War II had broken out only weeks before) was already being prepared for her war - time service, as one can see by the covered canon installed on the foreground. Probably unbeknownst to most of the people present on this photo, Italy would enter the war as an Axis power in 1940, putting the Rex and the Aquitania on opposite sides of the conflict. Ironically the Aquitania, by that time already considered an old lady, would survive the war, whilst the much more modern Rex would not (she was sunken by a british airstrike on September 8th 1944 off the coast of Trieste).

A third class cabin on board the french Normandie (1935). The design of the third class accomodations usually was in sharp contrast to the opulent interiors of the first class. Not only were the decorations (if there were any) less lavish, but the comfort was also very much reduced. Third class passengers had much less space than their first class travel companions and their cabins were usually located in parts of the ship, which, due to their proximity to the engines or the propellers had more vibrations or were noisier. This cabin is located in the aft part of the hull as one can see by the bended external wall, following the shape of the streamlined hull. It must have been a noisy place, more so because of the Normandie’s propensity to vibrate when sailing at full speed (a problem only solved by the installation of a new set of propellers in 1938). However, this cabins were a improvement with regards to older liners in which the steerage passengers usually didn’t even had their own rooms. The Normandie transported nearly as many first class passengers as the first and second class combined, which is why a vastly bigger part of the ships was reserved for the first class in comparison to the other classes. From the end of mass immigration into the USA in 1921/1924 until the 50s, most passengers to cross the Atlantic were wealthy, since there was no mass travel culture installed yet, or the rest of society simply couldn’t afford a transatlantic holiday. The big ocean liners adapted themselves to this reality.
