I love this aesthetic so much and it’s incredibly comforting, it’s greatly upsetting to look around my room and not see dark academia themes. I’m literally on the verge of tears.
tips: reverse ur book covers so they hide colour. reverse literally everything now that i think abt it. reverse ur brightly coloured blankets to show off the white/neutral coloured side. draw accent to dark wood. redecorate with wall art. go to the library and print stuff for free. make it messy, but not too messy. a clever person once said “diy or die”
I'm so, so happy that it's fall...and it's getting chilly out, so I got a new blazer...and honestly I'm really out here just thriving in the Dark Academia life
There's sunlight here everyday no architecture no anesthetic place no nothing and even worse school uniform with a hair do (two braids and red ribbons) :')
anyone want to move to an amandoned college campus and create a dark academia town where if you're not matching the vibe you go to a dark academia class? that's so weird lol
think sweater vests with plaid skirts, blazer lookin windbreakers for casualness, converse also for casualness, chains?? literally said an outfit i own
its not just an "aesthetic". this is real life. ive been in a big old castle looking house in london before. you will never know what its like to sit alone, in a library, with a chandelier above your head, not just listening to music, but being actual dark academia. dark academia is more than a couple of photos on your wall and taking videos of things with filters. just so you know "aEsThETic gIRLs"
I've noticed most of the dark academia tik tok's are girls (which is totally fine they look amazing) and its kind of brings a bitter sweet taste to me. I really like this aesthetic, but I don't know if I'll ever find a guy who's into it too. (Btw I'm a bi dude if your wondering)
Hey! Guys into dark academia are super cool! They might be rare but they are definitely there and the girls of the community support them whole heartedly
I’m also a bi (or gay, or pan I don’t really know yet I’m only 15 lol) guy (trans) and I really like this aesthetic as well (mainly because I love reading when my brain lets me). I’m pretty sure my friend is also into the academia aesthetic as well (more light academia though) I’ve also been wanting to see more tiktoks of male dark academia
Hey if any of you come across the tiktok.. "I watched dead poets society for the plot The plot:.." ... Do tell me I saw it in some video but I can't find which one😭
i hate to say this but im combining cottagecore and dark academia this summer for a combo that might be unholy are sweater vests still an option PLEASE I CANT GO WITHOUT SWEATERS
For me, it started with Chronicles of Narnia, then Pirates of the Caribbean, then Harry Potter, then Riverdale, then Locke and Key, then Fate:The winx saga then now I'm on Sabrina Adventures in Netflix. Goodlord, do you guys have movie recommendations or even series with Dark (Academia) aesthetic..
Farenheit 451 Projekt 1065 Geekerella You should see me in a crown The Percy Jackson Books These don't match the aesthetic 100% but they're great books nonetheless
