Aww, Lovely Times

just realized that my passion is not being passionate enough about anything

closed obviously, so when the killer gets into my room i wake up from the noise of my door opening and fight for my life with the phone's charger

wait people sleep with their doors closed????

INFP things

Is afraid of breaking rules (sometimes)

Has dark humor but always makes people laugh

Humor fixes everything

Tries to help relationships but won’t leave their own

Picks up bad habits but tries to play it off like it’s nothing

Fearful of the future

Music heavily depends on their mood

Multiple playlist for different moods

Often mixes up their sleep schedule

Feels detached when their friends argue

Needs background noise to sleep

Doesn’t like to make the first move, but will if needed

Isn’t keen on social events

Hates eye contact

Has difficulty being their own person

Hates math but not bad at it

‘Social Outing’ is going to walmart

Would prefer Netflix and pizza over a highschool football game

Hates when people don’t like them but they act like they don’t care

Aren’t violent but has anger built in them

Always tries to make sure someone is okay before ending conversation

Won’t condone violence but will beat the shit out of someone for upsetting their friend

Fear that they talk too much about themselves

Sits in back of the room

Doesn’t raise their hand unless they absolutely know the answer

Will plan out everything but ends up going wayy off track

Doesn’t text first….or back

Impatient (don’t deny it)

Remembers everything anybody said to them ever

Not the popular kid but not the nerd

Sports? What are sports?

Thinks out loud

Fearful of confrontation

Builds up a tough shell but is really an emotional ball of feels

Fills their cart on amazon but never buys the stuff

Buyers remorse. For 6 minutes

Has zero games on their phone but solitaire

Will not accept the fact that they are wrong

Procrastination

SHUTS THEIR BEDROOM DOOR ALL THE TIME

Will wait until the episode is finished to pee

Prefers Internet friends

Always afraid they’ve overstepped boundaries

Doesn’t care how bad terms are, if someone asks them for advice they give them the best advice possible

I’m sure, even on the last day of my life, that I’d sing of love. 
Because you’d tell me none of it, none of it was in vain.

I wish it was socially acceptable to lie in the ground while it rains.

dark academia literary works: a masterlist

Hello! I replied to this post on Reddit today, trying to compile all the dark academia books I could think of, and then thought that maybe all of you here might find it useful too, so here you go. It is a very, very broad list, a mix of classic and contemporary literature, and there is no set criteria besides having a dark vibe (this includes murder and crime but could just be the way it’s written as well) and portraying an academic setting, most of the time from the student’s point of view. I haven’t read all of these myself and so I can’t judge on quality, but hopefully this will inspire people to add on to it in the comments.

Here you go!

The Lessons by Naomi Alderman Truly, Devious by Maureen Johnson The Secret History, Donna Tartt If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio Maurice by E. M. Forster The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Possession by A.S. Byatt The Truants by Kate Weinberg The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark Vicious by V. E. Schwab The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (tangentially related) A Little Life, Hanya Yanagihara Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro The Likeness by Tana French The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (coming out tomorrow!) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman Oleanna by David Mamet Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides

Other classics that are not Dark Academia in content, but which I would include in a list of the DA canon: The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer Shakespeare’s plays (Macbeth, Hamlet are good ones to start with) A Separate Peace, John Knowles The Bacchae, Euripides Greek tragedies (a good one to start with is Antigone, very popular and staged many a time) Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman Beat generation literature Jane Austen’s books (light academia, anyone?)
