Dark Academia On A Budget

dark academia on a budget

(because not only rich people can be dark academics)

-thrifting with friends for old sweaters that someone’s grandfather must have worn

-getting second (or third or fourth) hand books and reading the notes that other people left in them

-making sure everything is tidy and clean, no matter what

-adopting a minimalist aesthetic

-or making your own decorations (which then makes you better at lettering and art)

-sitting in a local cafe and buying the cheapest thing so that you can study there (and making sure that you tip as much as you can)

-reading poetry online, printing your favorites, and posting them on your walls

-taking as much of your family’s clothing that they’ll let you have

-rotating the same few shirts, pants, and shoes without anyone noticing

-a lack of jewelry (because there are more important things)

-sitting outside at a park to read or write

-looking outside windows on public transport while listening to somber music

I volunteered at a WGI regional competition this weekend and DEAR JESUS ALMIGHTY do I miss being in colorguard. The culture?! The atitude?!! The HYPE?!?!

the joy that comes from a tight knit group of individuals who give their heart and soul to what they do. Just being in the same room as these teams lifted my spirits in a way they haven’t been in a long long time.

The undignified thrusting of hips?? And those gorgeous rifle snaps, claps, and collective deep breaths?????????

The thing about being LGBT+ is, at some point in your childhood, no matter how accepting your parents are, at some point, you have to question: “do they love me unconditionally?” And then you have to plan for the possibility hat the answer is no. And that fucks you up. Straight cis people never have to question that.

When I say "I hope we all make it" I don't actually mean everyone. I mean people who suffer because of racism, xénophobia, sexism, misogyny, who are refugees, immigrants of any type, lgbt people who deal with queer and transphobia every single day, ppl who get shit of any kind because of their religion, ppl who have to try 5 times as hard because they come from broken families, families with addiction problems, who are abused, were abused, who can't affort to pay for their basic needs, who can't afford an education.

There are so many of us, sometimes I forget people who don't experience any of those things actually exist but the fact is they do and 9 out of 10 will never wan't to do anything about it.

So yeah, I hope we all make it, and fuck anyone who tries to stop us.
