Beauty is terror. We want to be devoured by it, to hide ourselves in that fire which defines us.

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

“Actors are by nature volatile—alchemic creatures composed of incendiary elements, emotion and ego and envy. Heat them up, stir them together, and sometimes you get gold. Sometimes d i s a s t e r.”

Dark Academia Titles That Should Get Way More Attention Than Freaking Dead Poets Society

I’m not saying these don’t get ANY attention, since there are some huge classics on this list, I’m just saying it’s kinda weird that the Dark Academia fandom only focuses on a specific subset of stories when there’s so much variety out there, like…….

- The River King by Alice Hoffman

- Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson

- The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

- Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke

- Black Swan (2010)

- His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

- Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee / Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966)

- House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

- Suspiria (1977)

- The Woods (2006)

- The Last Supper (1995)

- Bascially Everything He Wrote by H.P. Lovecraft

Other things - naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror - are too terrible to really grasp ever at all.It is only later, in solitude, in memory that the realization dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself - quite to one’s surprise - in an entirely different world.

― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

anxious me: but talking? to people?? is?? scary??

logical me: what the hell it is three am please let me sleep.

the emotional change in g-d’s own country, the transformation from hostility to sexual tension, sexual tension to tenderness, is subtly reflected in the characters’ surroundings: as the first signs of spring start to show and flowers begin to push from the cold earth, so does the once hopeless farm turn into a place of not just stress and hard work but also passion and romantic fulfilment. gheorghe’s lamp in the caravan is the first soft, warm light in the largely harsh and bleak film - it’s in such gentle lighting that several of its most significant emotional moments occur. he brings light; and it is indeed a story about rising above your circumstances and overcoming depression, loneliness, and cynicism. of finding meaning and understanding in the quiet and devotion in simple acts. it takes a mundane repetitive life and transforms it, and by the time it reaches its end, the ruthless yorkshire landscape has become a little kinder. thanks for coming to my ted talk
