Dark Academia

Post by Eight Bit Alien »

Today I found a website created by idiots, called the AESTHETICS WIKI.

My new favorite AESTHETIC is DARK ACADEMIA.

https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Academia

Dark Academia is an aesthetic that revolves around classic literature, the pursuit of self-discovery, and a general passion for knowledge and learning. It is one of several variations, each with a unique historical focus. Dark Academia's best-known visual variations stem primarily from European cultures.
Some excerpts...
Timeline
09/1992- The Secret History, the blueprint for the aesthetic, is published by Alfred A. Knopf

30/6/20 - The New York Times publishes "Academia Lives — on TikTok"
TV Shows
The Alienist
Ares
Brideshead Revisited
Carnival Row
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Games
Chess
Croquet
Dungeons and Dragons
Backgammon
Checkers
Sports
Rowing
Fencing
Tennis
Badminton
Crafts
Knitting
Crocheting
Embroidery
Weaving
Lacemaking

Realistic Drawing
Other
Write essays (they don’t have to be intellectual, just about something you are passionate about)
Research
Daydream (about preventing the burning of the Library of Alexandria)
Write about a murder/heist
Read something light (suggestions above)
Read aloud
Dress up
Perform a play alone or to a pet
Play or practice an instrument
Take a bath
Accessories
Silver or gold jewelry
Broaches
Simple rings
Satchel
Wire-frame glasses
Short, neat fingernails
Belts that match your shoes
Knee-high socks
Watches
Sweaters tied over the shoulders
Undone or loosely tied ties
Dark coloured umbrellas (for that ominous feeling you give strangers)


I can't figure out how to hyperlink to the images in the article, probably because I'm a moron who hasn't spent any time in Dark Academia.

Dark academia has been observed to be an affordable aesthetic to cultivate, especially in comparison to cottagecore.[8] One writer noted that while a cottagecore lifestyle requires a home in the country and leisure time for crafting, "the simple act of putting on a blazer and reading Dostoevsky is far more doable."

Goblincore is an aesthetic which is similar to Dragoncore. Goblincore celebrates aspects of nature that most individuals would find "ugly" or "dirty". These aspects can range from animals such as frogs and snails to materials such as moss, mud, plants, and fungi such as mushrooms....

A part of Goblincore is the desire to collect and hoard small, often shiny objects, affectionately named shinies by practicing Goblins.

Crowcore is sometimes used as an alternative to Goblincore, which has been criticized as anti-Semitic[1]

why have you done this :lol: :(
Fairy Academia: Based on the visual aesthetics of Victorian and Edwardian childhood.

Light Academia: Similar to Dark Academia, but with a distinctly lighter color palette and overall aesthetic.

Pagano-Lovecore: A hybrid of Academia aesthetics and Lovecore, based in love in Greco-Roman mythology.

Pastel Academia: Less mature than the other forms of academia, pastel academia showcases much more colour and a childlike "Kawaii" aesthetic. It is less Eurocentric and more based around Japanese styles of study and clothing.

EVERYTHING MUST HAVE A TAXONOMY

EVERYTHING

THEY'RE ALL AUTISTIC

THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD IS BEING SUBJECTED TO AUTISTIC SEMIOTIC TAXONOMY

Every single fucking aspect of an individual person has to be understood in the context of a larger, generally INFERRED categorization.

Could someone perhaps try adding Billlie Eilish to the music list, her song come out and play fits the aesthetic so well it's like a warm cup of tea on a winter day <3

Hi, I've personally think I have a Dark Academia aesthetic, but I don't really dress like it and I read through this whole description and took notes about it. Hopefully, I will get some clothes to start dressing like it.

Nice, really looking forward to the blackened-thrash-ademia-core that's coming in a couple years.

Teethcore is an aesthetic centered around teeth, mainly the collection or loss of them.
This aesthetic also includes the thought of being scared of the dentist.

Baddie is an aesthetic primarily associated with Instagram and beauty gurus on YouTube that is centered around being conventionally attractive by today's beauty standards. Because of the trendiness of the aesthetics, it can often be related to other aesthetics.

Other names - Bad Bitch

Key values -Being confident, looking good, being a badass woman

"Soft boy, Ocean boy" sounds like a band someone would try to tell me about, right before I decided to avoid that person for the rest of my life.

I'm trying to invent Gothic Paternity/Dark Alimony.

Elements of Gothic Paternity may include -

-Being disinvited from PTA meetings
-Aesthetics borrowed from chain restraunts like The Olive Garden, Applebees, and The Outback Steakhouse
-Explaining whose fault it is
-Having back injuries, and back injury related accessories like braces, straps and pill bottles
-Authors like Tom Clancy
-Light cluttercore styled decor such as unopened bills, half-completed plumbing tasks, warped particleboard furniture
