I hate how elitist and Eurocentric dark academia can be. i love the old university buildings, rich dark attire, and Latin phrases that come with it, but i can’t stand the elements of superiority and exclusivity. as a college student i feel like the draw at the heart of academia is a love of knowledge and passion for sharing it with as many people as possible. so as a poc in university, here’s my take on dark academia:

Filipinx students poring over library books of Baybayin and other pre-colonial alphabets and dialects of Tagalog

students hungrily downloading pdfs of textbooks, biographies, the newest research papers on nuclear fusion and archaeological discoveries

hands the same rich shade of brown as the ancestors who could only dream of being surrounded by hundreds of books searching through dusty tomes for stories of their heritage

thrifting old, oversized blazers to thrown on over a sweater you’ve had since high school before running to your next lecture

printing copies of notes and lectures to send to the family members who gave up their dreams of seeing the stars so that you could study them

220906 🐿🐧

Second day of uni…done! It was interesting…we had to talk about our summer during class and I tried to think of the safest thing to mention (ended up saying I finished two mangas).

The real star of today (and not shown in the picture) is…iced chai latte!! It’s my first time trying it and it’s so good. My sister took an L bc her order is so bad but she liked my drink too so that’s a W since she knows what to order next time??

I also fixed my desk during class since it was hella cluttered. Still want to decorate it more lol.

august 24, 2023

another day of physical classes, another night of studying for tomorrow’s exams. sat through another endocrinology exam and a four and a half hour lecture the entire morning, followed by case discussions the entire afternoon. walked home and snapped a few pics, before spending the rest of the night on emphasizing revised notes and answering past tests for active recall.

definitely a tiring day, but the weekend is a-coming, so it’s something to look forward to. in the meantime, have some tree appreciation (a-tree-ciation? appre-tree-iation?) photos.

song of the day: battle cries by the amazing devil

a little room decor update! finally put up some postcards i’ve gotten in the last few months :) i’ve also decided i’m going to try and become a notion girlie lmao (but it’s so hard to set up…anyone have tips??). right now i’m just using it as a place for my to-do lists, but i’d love to figure out how to use it more!

also, anyone on langblr have tips for learning tagalog? or i guess even just general language learning? for context, i’m half filipino but can’t speak much of the language, and recently at work i was lowkey shamed for not being fluent (by another filipino lol)…so i want to change that! any tips and suggestions are appreciated <3

Written Together In The Stars, Before We Were Even Born

Betrothal AU

A long long time ago Time and Light met on the third hour of existence as they know it, and made a deal. They each wanted something from the other, the few sparks greed that Reality had. They could have traded these wants but they both know that the other would try and take the traded things back. So they decided to meet in the middle, Time for saw a few decades when two beings of their own would be the same age and most compatible and they both decided the two would be wed. That way neither would do anything to each other without the risk of endangering their kin. So Time now has infinite knowledge of the past and Light now has infinite knowledge of all future possibilities. Supereons into the future the time had come.

Duke and Danny wake up one morning, just turned 17, to find out they apparently have a fiance who they've never met or heard of before.

Gnomon shows up at Wayne manor during breakfast with the written contract to tell Duke about the betrothal. Duke, who hasn’t seen his bio-dad for almost a year now, is understandably suspicious. But after Gnomon thoroughly explains what’s going on and shows the very old contract, Duke can’t really deny it anymore.

Danny on the other hand was woken up by the contract falling on his head via Clockwork bullshit. His first reaction was to burst into Jazz’s room and scream about it, then Jazz called Sam and Tucker. They all went over the contract multiple times before they decided that Danny at least needed to find his betrothed.

The contract came with only a first name, with a home city written as well, just to make it a little easier for everyone

Danny’s the one who goes out to find Duke

The Batfam end up searching for Danny like the stalkers they are

It gets kinda ridiculous with all the things they find, [does anyone else know about the purple back gorillas Danny saved from extinction?] what with him being Vlad Masters’ godson and apparently almost died when he was fourteen

None of Danny’s pictures look right because of the whole ghostly thing, the ones with him younger are kinda visible if a bit blurry [Jazz & Danny being mildly liminal since birth is a little headcanon of mine]

BUt because they were before puberty and before he started taking testosterone [all i can hear is past pronunciation], those old pics look wildly different from what Danny looks like now

Duke decides to take a break and just go to his favorite bookstore/cafe, he mainly goes there for peace and quiet and to write his stories and poems

The Eclipse is a bookstore/library/lounge combo, with a warm tone dark academia jazz/painter aesthetic

The Eclipse is probs gonna become recurring now that I think about it [Add On: Just finished building it in the Sims this place is staying]

The three floors above ground are the library got little reading nooks, and study areas

The basement is the lounge area with a corner where the owners keep their own things/activities and drink bar on a wall

The owners are twins, Sarah and Edward Sulaiman, Sarah plays string instruments, jazz mainly, Edward paints people, still, and landscapes

It was midday but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the water heavy clouds and smog covering the Gotham sky like a blanket on top of a pillow fort.

A teenage boy walks the streets of Gotham, there’s nothing awfully unusual about that. He’s Filipino, average height a bit on the taller side, muscle hidden under his clothes loose with a visible silhouette. His fluffy black hair bounces with each step and his eyes, they’re a… wrong shade of blue, let's say that. His eyes scan the streets looking for someone he’d never seen before, never even heard of before this morning. He’d been doing so for hours now.

A heavy drop of rain hit the boy square on the top of his head, the boy recoiled into himself like a cat, clutching his wooden staff in surprise. He looks up to the sky, eyes wide as the sky seems to dump an ocean onto the earth.

The boy runs, looking up and down the street for cover, until he sees a store front with a covered porch. Ducking underneath the roof he stares out into the street where the pouring rain curtains everything.

Sighing, the boy turned to the door of the store, looking at the sign all it said was The Eclipse. The water drops from his body like he was never drenched.

Pushing the double door open a soft jingle sounded through the building, he looked around a checkout desk was to his right another kid behind the counter. The two stared at each other before the kid behind the counter set down their book.

“Welcome to The Eclipse bookstore and lounge, the lounge is in the basement, this floor is the bookstore, the two upper floors are a library. Need anything else?”

The boy shook his head, “Nah, I’m good.”

The kid nodded and went back to their book.

The boy decided to just go to the third floor, see what they had. The soft murmurs he could hear coming from the basement gave him enough reason to avoid all the people.

There weren’t many people on the upper floors, just more books and a couple lounge chairs. On the top floor he saw a curtain over an open entrance in the back.

Danny sighed in relief, a small cubby to relax in would be nice. Gliding over feet barely touching the ground as he mimed walking.

He moved aside the yellow curtain with his staff, and came face to face with another boy who had taken over the desk on the opposite wall.

The boy looked up from his papers and turned to Danny. The ghost was taken aback by how pretty the other boy was.

“Oh hey, you can sit here if you want,” The boy said, motioning to the small couch on the far wall.

Danny nodded, and went over to the couch, plopping down, his eyes glanced over to the other boy.

“So um, my names Danny by the way,”

Duke looked over to the cute boy on the couch. He’d come to The Eclipse to escape all the talk about his betrothed, it didn't hurt to talk to someone new, who might share a name with his fiance.

“I’m Duke, are you new to The Eclipse? I’ve never seen you around before.”

Danny nodded, “Just recently got to the city, I’m looking for a- a friend.”

Duke raised an eyebrow, “You don’t sound so sure about that.”

“Well I haven’t met them yet – Danny rubbed the back of his neck – All I got is a name.”

Danny blinked then looked at Duke with eyes wide, “You two actually have the same name.”

The two starred, and Duke got a sinking feeling that they were looking for each other.

Duke groaned, leaning back in his chair, “Daniel right?”

Danny nodded, still staring wide eyed, “Daniel Fenton-Phantom.”

He stood up walking over to Danny and sitting down next to him, the other pulled in his legs staring at Duke.

“Duke Thomas-Wayne,” He offered up his hand, Danny shook it.

“So we’re betrothed,” Danny said kinda breathless.

“Yeah, it seems so,” Duke said, looking to the ceiling.

They sat there, almost shoulder to shoulder.

“Twenty questions?” Danny asked.

Duke looked at him again, “Yeah sure why not.”

They chat for a bit, just talking getting to know each other

They get along swimmingly, and Duke says Danny could come with him to Wayne Manor latter to meet his family

Danny invites Duke to come over to Amity and met his sister and friends

The small room on top of The Eclipse, Bookstore and Lounge, has a few tall bookshelves, a couch on the far wall and a desk opposite to the entrance.

Today its giant bay window, by the couch, is being hit by heavy drops or rain, the room lit by a soft yellow light from a simple chandelier on the ceiling. A couple paintings made by one of the owners.

Blankets kept under the couch that had been pulled out and draped over the sleeping boy. Books pulled off the shelves and opened on the desk presented to the boy writing in his many notebooks and papers.

It was quiet with only white noise, it was nice, familiar even.

Two being too big to be perceived by the mortal mind, watched with fond emotions as their plans fell into perfect place.

Gnomon and Bruce end up going out to look for Duke at The Eclipse

I don’t know these two relationship but I’m getting reluctant co-parents with benefits, so ya know

Anyway they end up finding Duke, who’s fallen asleep

Danny had woken up at some point and moved Duke to the couch and gave him a blanket, Danny himself is on the floor asleep leaning on the couch

The dads coo over their boy a bit cause this is adorable

When Gnomon gets closer Danny’s ghost sense goes off and is immediately on his feet and guarding Duke, who’s starting to wake up

Bruce and Gnomon blinked at the teenage boy brandishing his staff at them, standing protectively in front of their son.

Bruce takes a tentative step forward, the boy immediately turns his staff to the man.

“Stay back,” He growled.

Gnomon raised an eyebrow, and Bruce frowned at the kid. But neither moved

Duke groaned, waking up slowly taking in the scene around him, before quickly sitting up, “B, Uba? What are you doing here?”

The boy looked between the fathers and their son.

“You know them?” He asked.

Duke stood up, “Yeah they’re my dads.”

Both men would deny that they preened from the title their child had given them.

“Oh – The boy’s face fell and he immediately pulled into himself, awkwardly shuffled to Duke’s side – Sorry about that Sirs.”

“No need to worry, your worry for Duke is understandable,” Bruce said, smiling softly.

Gnomon nodded, “But we must ask, who are you child?”

Duke and the boy shared a glance.

The boy stepped forward, reaching out a hand, “Daniel Fenton-Phantom, Duke’s betrothed.”

Here some of my aesthetic of my sister’s OCs with some face claim for the purpose of My Candy Love & My Hero Academia Wattpad stories.

Let me introduce you to : ✨Ariel and Anabella Shimizu✨

Originally from Cebu, in the Philippines, the twins Ariel and Anabella stay with their big brother in Japan in order to create a better relationship with him and discover a little more about other countries.

Passionate about basketball and the trumpet, Ariel was able to integrate into his new environment and meet people who would later become his most sincere friends.

As for Anabella, she is a fervent activist for LGBTQ+ rights and a committed feminist, ready to do anything to put the proud and the most closed-minded in their place.

Ariel will become, later in my fanfiction, Melody's romantic interest.

Anabella will become, later in my fanfiction, Shoto’s romantic interest.

Ariel is portrayed as Jacob Romero Gibson, an American actor.

Anabella is portrayed as Alisha Boe, a Somali-Norwegian actress.

My sister’s OCs are originally Japanese-Filipino with tan skin, red eyes and black curly hair but I had to slightly change their apparence so perdon me if now, they don’t look like their basic apparence or if the face claim are not currently the same ethnic as their description, I tried my best.

Edits made by me.

I hope that you like the aesthetics of Ariel and Anabella Shimizu.

[My sister gave me the autorisation to use her OCs for the purpose of my Wattpad stories and my Tiktok videos but you, please, don’t use them].

Have a great day❤️

hello this is my first time asking for one of these so im very sorry if its a little awkward but, could i be shipped with an umbrella academy character?

I’m a trans gay man whos an infj 5w4 and is a virgo sun, cancer moon, and libra rising. i love music (genres i love the most are alt/indie, metal, kpop, electronic, and vocaloid), video games, books, dnd, multiple forms of art, traditional filipino arts, and poetry. I’d describe myself to be an affectionate and empathetic person (and a nerd), i often like doing things to show how i care for others and would love to listen to someone ramble about their favorite topics. i always wanna be there for the ppl i care for.

im 5’3 (short ik uhuhuh) and has a slightly skinny physique. I’m filipino with a pale skin color, i have short brown hair and dark brown eyes. i strive for more darker colored aesthetics like goth lolita, grunge, and dark academia so my attire consists of mostly dark clothing. my gender expression is androgynous but leans a bit more on the masculine side, i also love wearing makeup even just the lightest bit to cover up spots on my face.

Hiiiii!!! Thank you for asking a ship!! I ship you with...

Number Five!

You two would get along soso well!! I mean you both slayyy the dark outfits and he would definitly follow you in your dark academia aesthetic! 🥰

Thr fact that he's more into old fashioned music and you more into new music makes a contraste and you both are curious about each other taste and it's so cute! 🧡

He would be soooo interested in filippino traditional art and would ask you so many questions about it!! He'll be so curious! 🥰

#🐧#tua #tua five #the umbrella academy #umbrella academy #umbrella academy imagine #umbrella academy five #the umbrella academy five #five x you #five hargreeves #five x reader #five hargreeves x you #five hargreeves x reader

Hallooo ! I hope you're doing well bc ngl I'm rlly nervous writing this AHAAA

My name's Kor, I'm around 5'5 (I could be slightly taller but I have no way of checking rn whoops), have mid-length black hair with hangs, and dark ass brown eyes. I have brown skin too and am Filipino (can speak the language and shit too aye aye), and I do be a little chubby tbh. I enjoy drawing and playing video games in my free time, also occasionally do a lil writing. I also enjoy watching movies and TV shows (any genre goes rlly as long as my neurodivergent brain approves). I've been told I'm an outgoing, friendly, loyal, and chilled out person.

Not really sure what my style is unfortunately, but aesthetics I do enjoy are dark academia, punk, and goblincore. My favorite musicians include My Chemical Romance, The Beatles, Lovejoy, and Mitski. Favorite movies are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Her, and Ghostbusters. Favorite video games are Fallout New Vegas, Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 2 (I also enjoy FPS games like Valorant, but I mostly play em bc I enjoy playing with my friends).

OK THAT'S ALL sorry for the length ;-;

YOUR SOULMATE IS KLITZ!!! this ones kinda hard to put in to words but i believe it with my whole heart and soul. he'd worship the ground you walk on.

(also you are legitimately so cool im in love with you /p)

So it has been discussed that Dark Academia is quite Eurocentric and a bit (if not so much) elitistic. If you like it, it's alright, though.

If you, my Filipino mutuals, felt that Dark Academia is pretentious, maybe (just maybe) it's because we cannot really relate to it while its western practices cannot awake our connection to its roots. For us, it is just "aesthetics" and will never be a "way of life".

Personally, I like the dark hues of dark academia, but I'm a lover of Filipino culture eh.

I would like to gather your thoughts about the Dark or Light Academia aesthetics and lifestyle in Filipino cultural settings. I'm sure I can find many Filipinos here who have ventured more into reconnecting with the indigenous academic culture than I have.

Let's start! (lol haba ng intro ko, eto lang pala 'yon)

Share any media, books, movies, objects, study materials pertaining to the following categories: my examples, without pictures because I'm uncreative.

Book Reco: any myth book, tbh

Poets to read: Andres Bonifacio (for those who don't know, this boi made a poem about Sidapa)

Writing Instruments: Bamboo and ink

Classical Musical instruments: Talaandug (alam nyo yung bamboo flute ni Agilus sa Mulawin, yun 'yon)

Must study: Baybayin

Study Table snacks: Puto pao

Coffee and Tea Reco: Barako, tanglad tea, lavender tea, turnate tea, and Sampaguita tea, all of which are grown in south east asia and can be found in shopee/lazada.

Philosophy and ethics: I'm blank on this one. Sadly, I only know Nietzschean and Confucian.

Objects that should adorn your study table: sari manok, because I'm basic and edgy.

Objects that should adorn your wall: T'boli weaving, Fernando Amorsolo works, random wooden stick you found in the wild

Objects that should adorn your book shelf: clay pot, random wooden stick you found in the wild

Garments: red saya (I have 3! Who cares about heat death!)

All I can give are basics and general, I'm that surface level. Please share your knowledge to celebrate Filipino Academia aesthetics/life style.

((edit: ah, the problem of study aesthetics is the consumerism that comes with it. So a reminder, don't feel forced to buy anything. We're just vibing. And if you can buy things, go local as much as you can.))

#I want the dark hues of dark academia but I'm also a lover of my own culture eh #philippines #filipino #philippine history #being filipino #philippine mythology #ano-po #Philippine culture #Aesthetics #Dark academia #Filipino academia aesthetics #And I hope this aesthetics have no problem whatsoever
