Possessed by the skies

i don’t know much… but I heard Jumin’s kinks may include wine bottles somehow.

Laocoön and His Sons. 

…the two serpents, in attacking the three figures, produce the most striking semblances of fear, suffering and death. The youth embraced in the coils is fearful; the old man struck by the fangs is in torment; the child who has received the poison, dies.

Painting details I have been enjoying recently: Hans Memling, “Young Man at Prayer” and “Portrait of Maria Portinari”

In case some of my fellow maenads in the Dark Academia community are still sleeping on this guy, please let me introduce you to Tamino, an insanely talented Belgian-Egyptian musician with strong Hozier vibes, the face of a Greek god, and songs that are a) either inspired by things such as Van Gogh’s paintings (”Cigar”), or b) have straight-up amazing titles such as “Persephone”.

You’re welcome.

@strange-aeons made a video on dark academia and she's right, it is quite impersonal. Make dark academia personal! Share your personal library, talk about your own writing, share photos of your style! Do! It! Dark academia is all about indulgence, indulge in your things, show off, flaunt your stuff baby! This is 2019 time to be the show off bitch Oscar Wilde would you to be.
