Oh my favorite perfume connoisseur-
Any fragrance recommendations for that dark academia aesthetic?
Love you hope you're drinking water and resting welllllll 😤🫶🤍
MY BELOVED MUTUAL ASKING ME ABOUT MY NICHE INTEREST AND MY FAVORITE AESTHETIC?? SAY NO MORE!
Okay I *started* answering this and then tumblr cancelled on me bc it’s a hating ass bitch.
A lot of these are fall-coded but that’s because fall 🤝🏻 dark academia. I tried to throw in suggestions that can be worn in all seasons, though! I also tried to vary the price points too
Without further ado!
Tumblr media
Novel by ALT fragrances — inspired by whispers in the library from Replica which is one of my all time favorites and I’m STILL salty they discontinued it. I haven’t personally smelled this one but I know so many people who swear it’s almost an exact match!
Notes: top (vanilla) • middle (pepper, cedar wood) • base (tonka bean • woodsy notes)
Indigo by Nest New York — this is one of the best tea scents on the market. I discovered this one last year and honestly it’s a personal favorite. I’ve been through two bottles. Dark and a little sultry but not overpowering and it still has some freshness!
Notes: Italian lemon • orange bergamot • Moroccan tea �� Kashmir wood • wild figs
Invite only Amber by Kayali — I associate this fragrance with a snowy night at the library with old Christmas jazz playing in the distance. It’s on my rotation for this winter!
Notes: Amber resin • benzoin • Ceylon cinnamon
Monday by Arielle Shoshanna — ever wanted to smell like a London fog latte? Here’s your perfume!
Notes: bergamot • lavender • lemon zest • black tea • steamed milk • ISO-E super • sandalwood • vanilla • amber
City on Fire by Imaginary Authors — this is THEEEE dark academia perfume. One of its notes is literally labdanum. It doesn’t get more dark academia than that!
Notes: Cade oil • spikenard • cardamom • clearwood • dark berries • labdanum • burnt match
By the Fireplace by Replica — I mean it smells like a bit ol’ crackling fireplace and marshmallow. This smells fucking divine in the cold air in winter (bonus if you have a leather jacket!!). And it’s unisex!
Notes: clove oil • chestnut accord • vanilla accord
Gris Charnel by BDK — another wonderful tea scent. Something about tea scents just screams dark academia!
Notes: fig • black tea • cardamom essence • absolute of iris • bourbon vetiver • sandalwood • tonka bean absolute
L’eau papier by Diptyque — I meannnn it’s a paper-based scent but it smells HEAVENLY. I got stopped like five times wearing this once.
Notes: white musks • mimosa • blonde woods accord • rice steam accord
Coffee break by replica — this is my tried and true. The number one perfume in my collection and my most repurchased. It’s just perfect.
Notes: coffee accord • lavender • milk mousse accord
Honestly look through the entirety of Vilhelm’s perfumery. So many good dark academia scents. My favorites are Dear Polly, Poets of Berlin, and Opus Kore!
Tumblr media
I hope the move went well!! Have you gotten settled in??

What I don't get about the beginning of The Little Mermaid (1989) is, okay, so we have this big performance, the KING is going to be there, his daughters are singing, it's his youngest daughter's debut!
And yet NO ONE noticed? That Ariel was missing? From center stage?
NO ONE noticed that she wasn't there until last minute?
I'm sorry, isn't that what the job of a stage manager is for? Do they not have those under the sea? Is Sebastian supposed to be in charge of all of that + conducting?
I can't even blame Ariel for this, honestly; she forgot it was that day. Who was in charge or rehearsals? Making sure everyone was in their marks? She was supposed to be in a giant shell for fuck's sake, are you really telling me that everyone saw the closed shell and was just like, "oh yeah, Ariel is just waiting there, makes sense??"
Which leads my to my Crack Hypothesis:
The stage manager exists, and did it On Purpose to fuck with Sebastian.
Here me out.
Let's call this character Evil Sebastian.
Tumblr media
Picture this: You're Evil Sebastian, stage manager to the Royal Theater of Atlantica and you hate Normal Sebastian.
Not just hate.
Loathe.
You want to destroy him, to utterly humiliate him.
But he's the king's composer/advisor and it's not that easy. (And fucking hell, that's a good reason to hate him, isn't it; he's got the ear of the king, even though he broke the rules and was part of an illegal underground music show! You never broke the rules, and look where it got you; a job as a mere stage manager! A baby sitter for people who should know better!
And then, one day, it's time for Normal Sebastian's Magnum Opus and while you have a million different ideas, you're having trouble finding one that won't reflect poorly on you. You have Standards, after all.
Except... The star of the show, the king's youngest daughter, isn't there... What a shame it would be if no one noticed? And she has a habit of swimming off and doing her own thing, would it be that hard to throw her to the (metaphorical) sharks, say you saw her and then she left?
Humiliating Normal Sebastian and the King in one fell swoop?
And of course the king has a soft spot for his daughter, so it's not like she'll get into any real trouble...
Tumblr media
Blah blah blah, plot plot plot, unfortunately for Evil Sebastian, Flounder let the actual shark story slip, and instead of getting in trouble, Normal Sebastian was put in charge (??) of Ariel and was in fact given more trust!
CURSES.
Evil Sebastian goes back to his plotting, determined to somehow bring about the downfall of Normal Sebastian when he sees something that gives him An Idea: the youngest daughter, swimming with Ursula's eels while Normal Sebastian follows.
Looks like Normal Sebastian couldn't quite cut it with babysitting after all...
Tumblr media
Oh what's an Evil Crustacean to do?
Why, follow along, figure out what's going on, and then snitch inform the king of course!
"But Loracarol," you might be asking, "there was no snitch; King Triton didn't find out until Sebastian told him on the third day! Therefore there was No Evil Sebastian and your batshit ramblings theory could not work!"
Ah, you beautiful human being, that's where you're wrong - because we do, in fact, see Evil Sebastian one last time in the movie, showing exactly why he was unable to snitch to the king, and why he never actually shows up in the film itself, merely working in the shadows.
Obviously.
Tumblr media
I rest my case.
OKAY BUT FRFR WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THAT CONCERT'S STAGING

How did the Conclave know of Dr Paradigm's name and vice versa?
The story itself doesn't give a full clear explanation.
Based on what we understand, however, the P.W.A.B. were researching Gears and they probably came across Gear data that was relevant to their needs when researching Gear Sentience.
Dr. Paradigm is one of the few Gears to "wake up" from the Catatonic state that most Gears fell under when Justice died (i.e. most normal Gears from the series Justice was created from ceased to function).
It could just be a fluke, or perhaps a surge in his evolutionary capacity, I'm sure not even Asuka R. Kreutz knows the full reason Paradigm gained a mind of his own.
But, similarly to Gears, Demihumans have also "awakened" from a non-sentient state to begin developing identities of their own... in other words the shift to sentience is similar in their case as it would be for Gears (though the conditions for triggering it probably aren't as clear).
It is probably because of Dr. Paradigm and Testament that the Conclave opted to create the O.P.U.S. though it was ultimately Ariels who finalized their development.
Unlike other Gears who "can" gain sentience, OPUS Gears have that potential taken out of them, and they can only obey any orders given to them absolutely.
Tragic, but that is how they were created, and thus their unfortunate fate.
High King Ky Kiske and U.S. President Vernon Groubitz are secretly trying to find a way to safely dispose of the OPUS, since they were distributed globally as a hidden "weapon" meant to obey Ariels' beck and call and dominate humanity (despite being branded early on as a Valentine deterrent).
As for Dr. Paradigm himself... I'm sure he has been keeping an eye on the Postwar Administration Bureau for a while, so it's only natural that he'd be observing the Conclave's movements up till now... though it was Ky's assistance that he was able to find sanctuary in Illyria.
Of course, it wasn't the P.W.A.B. who created Paradigm, though they were responsible for converting Testament (and other former humans) in to Gears, though the full history on that has yet to be revealed.

Lady Lazarus
BY SYLVIA PLATH
I have done it again.   
One year in every ten   
I manage it——
A sort of walking miracle, my skin   
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,   
My right foot
A paperweight,
My face a featureless, fine   
Jew linen.
Peel off the napkin   
O my enemy.   
Do I terrify?——
The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?   
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.
Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be   
At home on me
And I a smiling woman.   
I am only thirty.
And like the cat I have nine times to die.
This is Number Three.   
What a trash
To annihilate each decade.
What a million filaments.   
The peanut-crunching crowd   
Shoves in to see
Them unwrap me hand and foot——
The big strip tease.   
Gentlemen, ladies
These are my hands   
My knees.
I may be skin and bone,
Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman.   
The first time it happened I was ten.   
It was an accident.
The second time I meant
To last it out and not come back at all.   
I rocked shut
As a seashell.
They had to call and call
And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.
Dying
Is an art, like everything else.   
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.   
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I’ve a call.
It’s easy enough to do it in a cell.
It’s easy enough to do it and stay put.   
It’s the theatrical
Comeback in broad day
To the same place, the same face, the same brute   
Amused shout:
‘A miracle!’
That knocks me out.   
There is a charge
For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge   
For the hearing of my heart——
It really goes.
And there is a charge, a very large charge   
For a word or a touch   
Or a bit of blood
Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.   
So, so, Herr Doktor.   
So, Herr Enemy.
I am your opus,
I am your valuable,   
The pure gold baby
That melts to a shriek.   
I turn and burn.
Do not think I underestimate your great concern.
Ash, ash—
You poke and stir.
Flesh, bone, there is nothing there——
A cake of soap,   
A wedding ring,   
A gold filling.
Herr God, Herr Lucifer   
Beware
Beware.
Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair   
And I eat men like air.

“It was very, very important to me that Ariel was a young Black woman who didn’t do anything stupid,” he says.
“It’s really hard to make a horror film and not have somebody fall when they’re running. There’s a reason why you do that. It isn’t so much that people want characters to be dumb, but if they’re intelligent, it’s very hard to travel. But I look at this character, I look at the Black women in my life, and I just thought, ‘Man, how cool would it be if we landed the plane and she never made a dumb decision?’ She’s young, she’s flawed, but she never in this moment does something that you’re like, ‘Oh, that was stupid,’ and takes you out of it. That was a really important thing to me.”

WINDSBACHER KNABERCHOR
Tumblr media
Uno de los mejores coros de niños presenta una magnífica música navideña, que combina temas populares con obras poco comunes para un álbum festivo.
El Windsbacher Knabenchor es considerado uno de los mejores coros de niños del mundo. Su nuevo álbum In dulci jubilo presenta una selección magistralmente seleccionada de villancicos poco conocidos, que incluye una rica mezcla de clásicos intemporales y joyas menos conocidas, como el gran motete de Felix Mendelssohn “Frohlocket, ihr Völker” y el himno del siglo XIII “Veni, veni, Emmanuel”.
El álbum abarca desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XX, mostrando una gran variedad de estilos y tradiciones musicales. Destaca una amplia gama de tradiciones navideñas, desde famosos clásicos ingleses como Greensleeves hasta vibrantes piezas latinoamericanas como “La Peregrinación” de Ariel Ramírez. Acompañada por la instrumentación barroca del Lautten Compagney Berlin, la grabación presenta una excepcional mezcla de arte coral y profundidad histórica. El repertorio cuidadosamente elegido y los arreglos ricos y auténticos captan el espíritu de la Navidad de una forma realmente única y encantadora.
SOBRE LOS ARTISTAS
El Windsbacher Knabenchor, fundado en 1946 por Hans Thamm, es famoso por su musicalidad, precisión y pureza de sonido. Desde 2022, Ludwig Böhme es el director artístico del coro, continuando su tradición de excelencia. Performing up to 70 concerts a year, the choir captivates audiences in Germany and worldwide. Su repertorio, centrado en la música sacra, abarca desde el Renacimiento hasta obras contemporáneas, incluidos importantes oratorios de compositores como J.S. Bach y Haendel. El coro hizo historia como el primer conjunto alemán que interpretó la Pasión de San Mateo de Bach en Israel después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En colaboración con directores de renombre como Kent Nagano y conjuntos como la Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester de Berlín, el coro se ha ganado el aplauso de la crítica. Actúan regularmente en prestigiosos festivales y realizan giras internacionales, visitando Europa, Asia y América, entre otros lugares. El conjunto está formado por chicos de 9 a 19 años, que progresan a través de los niveles de formación para unirse al coro de concierto, que incluye hasta 80 cantantes.
Lautten Compagney Berlin, bajo la dirección de Wolfgang Katschner, figura entre los conjuntos de música antigua más renombrados. Desde su fundación en 1984, el conjunto ha cautivado a melómanos de todo el mundo y fue galardonado con el premio OPUS Klassik como Conjunto del Año en otoño de 2019. Con conciertos, representaciones de ópera y proyectos transversales, la Lautten Compagney pone acentos musicales únicos. Como uno de los pocos productores independientes de proyectos de teatro musical en Alemania, es igualmente apreciado por el público y la crítica nacional e internacional. Además de las actuaciones en Berlín, la Compagney Lautten realiza giras con unos 100 conciertos al año por toda Alemania, Europa y el mundo. Como parte importante de su espectro de programas, Lautten Compagney Berlin cultiva las tradiciones musicales con obras de gran repertorio. Tienen un formato propio y demuestran que la música antigua y las piezas contemporáneas pueden combinarse, borrando así las fronteras musicales. Sus grabaciones para DHM recibieron excelentes críticas y muchas de ellas se convirtieron en éxitos de ventas. Este año, el Compagney Lautten celebra su 40 aniversario.
