#rowan : aesthetics.

[ashennflame]

I decided to make playlists for each of the Greek students in The Secret History.

A few things to note about each playlist:

I purposefully made it so that each playlist has exactly 100 songs in it so that I can force myself to discover new music in order to fill out the playlists as well as properly capture an exact vibe while still having diversity in each playlist.

I wanted each playlist to be completely unique, therefore there are no exact overlapping songs in any of them, with the exception of different covers of the same song being in multiple playlists.

This is how I personally interpret each student to an extent, and it may be a bit different compared to others.

The playlists are mostly based off of vibes. There are songs whose lyrics as well as vibe fit the character (in my mind), but there are also songs that are based solely off of the vibe even if the lyrics don't fit.

The songs in each playlist may change over time as I find new music that I feel better fits over another.

I hope that these playlists can be thoroughly enjoyed!

we are so so close to autumn (YAY) which means the emergence of a number of different academia aesthetics. my personal favourite is chaotic academia…

chipped black nail polish left over from summer that is literally only flecks because your school doesn’t allow polish

carhartt jackets

oxfords

no completely new sets of stationary, just a variety of random pens, pencils, notebooks, etc that you’ve collected over the years

journal full of half baked novel ideas, lyrics, poetry, and word vomit

messy, colourful revision cards

messy hair and no makeup but heart smeared eyeliner and lipstick

running to catch the bus

walking the dog at 4 in the morning when no one’s around, listening to the magnus archives or classical music

too many playlists

playlists with both classical music and indie rock

pockets full of trinkets and rocks

messy room but immaculate desk (all your notes are scattered in every room and every surface but your desk)

black coffee with absurd amounts of sweetener

dark circles

unread books that you said you would read over summer

reading in class

group study sessions that you spend copying out other people notes.. because your own are unreadable

cursive, cryptic handwriting

latin duolingo (you can’t keep a streak for the life of you)

getting good grades without studying much

being the smartest in your friend group but still calling them nerds
