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

[chappell-roans]

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.
