I was so excited b/c a designer on HGTV was going to do a house in Dark Academia. When she was finished, the walls were white, the pallet was neutral and the furnishings modern. If she didn’t say what it was supposed to be, I’d have never guessed. (See their version in the previous post.)
This is how you do it. It’s vintage, can be cluttered, and most importantly, it’s dark. It’s worn with patina.
There are no white walls.
And, of course it has to include vintage books and academic stuff.
Vintage lab stuff, too.
Add plants, art supplies, and specimens.
Busts and statuary are part of the mix.
And, it’s also Goth-y.

🎭 pluto placements and the arts
🗝 1st house a sense of darkness and mystery in their self image. may identify themselves as a tortured artist type or there may be an aura of the occult around their work but most importantly around their image. note this placement is about image as opposed to about reality. this can very much affect someone's aims as an artist and how they view themselves
🗝 2nd house pluto is never about wearing your heart on your sleeve, it's a very secret planet. However those with this placement may reveal unconsciously their feelings around others through their work
🗝 3rd house with this placement, the arts are a way to communicate unconsciously what cannot be communicated consciously. This is the realm of symbolism and imagery and for those with these placements a picture speaks a thousand words... or a song, poem, story, or play.
🗝 4th house it tends to be hidden events in this person's past that fuel their creativity. They can be good or bad but they are without a doubt formative and deep rooted. May also use the arts to work out unresolved trauma
🗝 5th house a deeper desire for sensuality and pleasure may be present for those with pluto in this house. Expect hidden or guilty pleasures with the arts as an acceptable outlet. This can point to personas and alter egos. It can also indicate nightlife or closeted sexuality, drag, or those who are very shy offstage who are able to use the arts as a medium to enable their voice to be heard.
🗝 6th house creativity is strongly connected to health for all but with pluto in this house hidden pain both mental and physical can fuel their crrative urge. different from the fourth house, this can be in the present day. here the arts are inexteicably intertwined with mental health and unconscious processing and healing.
v v v more below
🗝 7th house governing long term relationships a pluto placement here can indicate a clandestine affair or something as simply as hidden feelings, both of which are expressed through someone's creative work. suitable songs - Jolene // Dolly Parton; Back to Black // Amy Winehouse
🗝 8th house the famous house of sex, death, and taxes, this can indicate drug addiction, abuse, and a real tortured artist persona a opposed to an artist who maintains the image. there can be financial difficulties or blockages to do with the arts. a turbulent life is intertwined with the person's chosen creative career. the aura of mystery around them may attract a lot of attention from potential partners
🗝 9th house the hidden aspect of pluto manifests here as hidden ideas or an inner world that is only expressed through art. It may be cynical, nihilistic, or otherwise not socially acceptable. as the house of philosophy expect controversial work and hidden agendas.
🗝 10th house even more so than the 9th house expect a hidden motive to someone's creativity. It could be fame, money, power, or something else altogether. either way, as the house of social status this placement indicates either buried feelings or a deeper social network including involvement with clandestine organisations or whose social life is otherwise relatively secret. Archetypes - Oscar Wilde.
🗝 11th house house of Platonic friendships, a pluto placement here can indicate something to be hidden in someone's creative career. potential rebellion against parental figures or 'hanging out with the wrong crowd'. this kind of placement connects to subcultures and social movements too.
🗝 12th house lastly, with pluto in the house it governs, this connects to a synergy between the arts and the occult. expect an element of mysticism to be genuinely present in someone's work as opposed to just in their image. can be a sinister aspect but doesn't have to be. example - the art of Carl Jung, the Red Book
🎨 I am relatively new here but have studied astrology for a long time and now want to specialise in dark academia -adjacent topics.
Please HMU and fill my asks if this is your kind of thing and you want a personalised look at these themes and your chart, especially if you're studying or are a writer, artist, musician, or similar!
Starts at 5 USD for a small taster.

《Wandering Hearts》
Part-III
Varsha
As I gaze at him, I'm struck by the sheer perfection of his face, a flawless symmetry that defies logic. The subtle scent of his cologne tickles my senses, evoking emotions I never knew existed. His intense gaze pierces into the depths of my soul, stirring feelings I never imagined I could feel.
All I can focus on is the urge to sink my teeth into his soft plum lips. Damn it, Rhea! My hands find their way to his chest, tracing the contours of his toned muscles. I push him away, but he swiftly grabs my hands, pinning them above my head. His intense gaze meets mine, and he growls, demanding to know, "What's your damn problem, Rhea?"
"You're the problem, Vivan. Release me now, I need to leave." His gaze is fixed on me, and without a word, he tugs at the strand of hair falling across my face, tucking it behind my ear. Leaning in closer, he whispers, "It was blocking my view."
