To know you grew up. To know you have grown up and will continue growing up to be older than them, than him. It was comfortable knowing that the world might end at seventeen. But now you're older, older than that. Older than the comfort characters you thought you fit in with... It's a subtle, bittersweet ache in my chest. I'm happy, but also sad. I want to cry, but also laugh.

Never stop pushing for more. If you sleep 8 hours a day, go for 10, or 12 or maybe 16. Never settle for less.

I feel genuinely sorry for the Richards who enjoy Dark Academia bc all the most important characters in DA are named Richard and all of them are a POS

“you will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.” is such a poignant line you’d think it came from a naruto fanfic but it’s actually from oscar wilde’s the picture of dorian gray

he's a 10 but he has a cursed rotting portrait of himself which shows the decaying of his soul which he traded for eternal youth and beauty

The Secret History out of context:
Richard repairing mandolins
Richard cutting his hair with nail scissors
Bunny vomiting in a broom closet
Francis and Charles banging at their friend's funeral
Charles sleeping in a giant pink snail
Richard and Francis choosing the perfect flower for Charles
Charles in tears totally touched by their choose

Like, I get that one of the bad points of the dark academia aesthetic is that is too white, but the truth is that there's no f*ing way a black person (or any person from the global south, really) would ever get themselves into the kind of shit in The Secret History or IWWV
I mean, come on, we fought like crazy to be here studying with these rich ass kids and now I'm going to throw it all away bc YOU want to murder someone? F*CK this bro
Or like: you want to do an ancient ritual that you don't don't know how to do and use a ton shit of drugs and be without eating my delicious seasoned food for three days??? No thanks, I'll pass on this one
We'd be like: don't want to know what the heck you did, I don't care, I just want to study man
