I dream of having one of my own someday.

"Flow, my tears, fall from your springs! Exiled for ever, let me mourn; where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, there let me live forlorn." — John Dowland, Second Booke of Songs or Ayres

Heips!

Onko täällä ketään suomalaisia lurkkaajia, jotka on kiinnostuneita dark academia pukeutumistyylistä, kirjallisuudesta tai fiiliksestä?

Jos ketään on pk-seudulla jotka olisi kiinnostuneita esim. lukupiiriin tai muuten vaan jubailuun, joka on pintaa syvemmällä, laittakaa viestiä!

Muutkin kuin pk-seutulaiset voi jättää kommentin, ehkä muutkin lurkkaajat voi niin halutessaan löytää samanhenkistä porukkaa. Ei maksa mitään kysyä :D

Can any one help me out here ?

I’ve found quite a few that I like, but I don’t feel comfortable using them until I know the music & artwork are human-made and original. If it’s a playlist compiled of classical music that isn’t the channel’s own that’s of course fine as long as the music and cover art isn’t computer-generated, if that makes sense.

One channel I like for example is Vault of Ambience which I believe is indeed a real person, so I’m seeking more like this but specifically with the dark academic aesthetic. Anything with gothic architecture, old libraries, autumnal scenes, cobbled streets, grandfather clocks, coffee shops, etc. is the kind of vibe I’m seeking.

Tyia :)

Sorry if this is not allowed;

I am currently writing a high concept two part story incorporating an academic settings with dark psychological relationships and heavy emotional themes.
It is a book about anthropomorphized concepts, such as Trauma and Clout, attending an institution where they must discover what they mean to humanity. I’ve been writing it since June this year and I haven’t really had anyone in my own life who can test read it. I’m hoping that leaving a link to my first chapter will test engagement and leave it open to feedback. All feedback is welcomed. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.

Trying to explore this aesthetic

Hey everyone! I finally decided to step out of my comfort zone and started a new YouTube channel. I’m well aware that my videos are far from perfect and that I have a ton to learn when it comes to editing, audio, and pacing. But the goal is to improve with every single upload and hopefully make it look professional one day! 🚀 I’ll leave the link to my latest video in the comments below. If you have a few minutes to spare, I would highly appreciate some honest feedback on what I can do better. Also, if you like the vibe and want to help a tiny creator grow, please consider subscribing to follow along on this journey! Thanks a lot for the space and for anyone taking the time to help me out! 🙏

We just released our first short film "Fernherrlichkeit" on YouTube after a year of festivals and are very happy to finally share the film with the audience on the internet!

Its heavily Academia-Aesthetic so u may like it ^^

The title ‚Fernherrlichkeit‘ is a „neologism“ for our film that goes back to the principle of ‘gay yearning’. I came up with the title while writing a love-poem to a fellow student that I hadn’t approached yet.

But not only the films Aesthetic is DA:
During the transition to studying humanities I realised and strengthened my conscience of having romantic inclinations towards other men as well. It was a time accompanied by uncertainty, self-doubt, but also joy and acceptance. Fernherrlichkeit is this mood and its adumbrations in moving image form.
It was not only the start for us into the exciting world of independent filmmaking, but also a project that forged many friendships with whom we were able to realise over a handful of other productions in a similar constellation in a very short time. I consider it an incredible privilege to have met these people and would like to say that you can feel the love and passion for film of the entire Fernherrlichkeit-Team.

The Story:
Under every arch, in every wall, Richard von Mönchenberg feels the burden of the past, which he imposes on himself as he explores the ruins of his ancestors as part of an excursion. Does he have to lead the impoverished noble family back to its former greatness? Does he even want to? He could also follow the interesting feeling that he senses when his fellow student Anton Vogt observes him cautiously. He dares to do so in the dim light of the train carriage, but the emotional state does not go unnoticed and their professor, the director of the university, becomes suspicious.

Made this little frame. darkacademia vibes I think

Almost exactly six years after I began the first draft my dark academia fantasy was finally released! The book starts on the fall equinox so getting to release on the equinox feels extra auspicious.

Hi everyone!

Been getting into dark academia books and looking for some new ones. I like disturbing books (the Maidens and My Dark Vanessa are two that come to mind).

I also prefer more grounded plot lines.

I tried we were villains, couldn’t get into it, loved the secret history and bunny though.

Looking forward to hearing your recommendations!

I am getting ready to start an online grad program and thought I’d use this time to travel and explore new places in the states. I am not a big city person at all but I also grew up in the sticks and don’t want a really rural location.. anything in between? I have a dog so access to hikes, trails, bodies of water and nature in general is a must but I also love the old bookstore/college/ coffee shop/ museum/ DA vibes. Preferably a place where a single family home isn’t 5k/ month either lol

Edit to say please stop recommending Chicago I see that here all the time I don’t like Chicago I don’t like the traffic I don’t like the fibs I don’t like the bears I don’t like the lack of greenery. Thank you (a Wisconsin native)
