There’s snow outside and my kitchen smells like freshly baked cookies and lemon-scented cleaner. I have a stack of unread books on my bed. I am cozy.

dude the secret history is wiiiiiiild the whole thing is about how aesthetics are a lie and how there's horror in wealth and privilege and somehow that spawned the entire dark academia aesthetic thing?? like i understand the appeal of the aesthetic because That's Literally The Point the outfits and the look and the poetry of it all are so cool but it is baffling to me that the Don't Obsess Over Pseudo-Intellectualism and The Aesthetics of Old Wealth book created the pseudo-intellectuallism and aesthetics of old wealth movement

quarantine tag game

thank you for tagging me @rayyperson !!

are you staying home from school/work?

unfortunately so, which means that i have effectively finished high school since this was my last year anyways. exams have also been cancelled so i don’t have an excuse to go back to school and say a proper goodbye unless i’m returning textbooks lmao

who is at home with you?

my mum and my sister

are you a homebody?

i mean... not really. i prefer staying in to going out most of the time, but i liked having the freedom to choose what i want to do, so being restricted to just going for a walk around my tiny village is annoying lmao. but i know it keeps people safe so i’ll get over it.

any event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

a muck up day at school on our last day (quarantine was imposed 2 weeks before we were due to break off from school for the easter holidays, and then we’d have been on study leave and then sitting exams, so the muck up day was meant to be a nice send off for our last day. it obviously didn’t happen, but we wore our own clothes instead of uniform, took pictures, ate cake etc, so it wasn’t terrible, but it could have been better). we haven’t heard anything about prom yet, but i think it might get cancelled. who knows.

what movies have you been watching recently?

i made a whole list of movies i’ve put off watching due to school, and i’m slowly (very slowly) making my way through it. so far i’ve only watched one, dunkirk, and i really enjoyed it. i plan to watch minority report next.

what are you doing for self care?

trying to remind myself that i don’t have to do things like school work to be productive. also drinking a lot of tea.

what shows are you watching?

currently - a lot. i watched a lot of tv before the quarantine happened anyways, but my favourites right now are minority report (the tv show, not the film), criminal minds and cbs s.w.a.t. typing that out i’ve really noticed a pattern with the amount of crime drama shows i watch. dare i say future criminology student?? oh we also watched the first ep of tiger king, and i think we’re in for a wiiiiiiild ride.

what music have you been listening to?

pretty much everything i used to - a big variety. mostly consisting of linkin park, green day, american idiot the musical (yes, because of stark sands) and a lot of other artists i can’t think of off the top of my head.

what books are you reading?

currently trying to finish generation kill by evan wright, and then start one bullet away by nate fick. also reading a lot of band of brothers/generation kill fanfic - quarantine really is bringing out the hbo war stan in me oops.

what games are you playing?

i mean.. if card games, kahoots and those games you get on house party count as games then i’ve been playing those with my friends/family a lot lmao. in terms of video games i don’t even have a console - i’m not a big fan of playing video games anyways, i prefer to watch lets plays of people playing them. i really love detroit: become human though! my favourite playthrough is jacksepticeye’s because he gets the best route and then he goes back and gets the worst possible endings, it’s great.

also fans who spend all their day up a rich celeb’s or billion dollar franchise’s ass and defending them to the death on their dash or twitter are wiiiiiiild to me like not to say get a life but get some perspective, watch/listen to other things, read a book, holy shit.

[biyaself]

Today is SHARP OBJECTS day!!!

Is anyone else watching it??

Did anyone read the book?

This shit is WIIIIIIILD

I remember the book fucked me up, all her shit is so extreme. I hope they turn Dark Places into a mini series too!
