“studio ghibli romances be like “what if we didn’t kiss, but instead both spiritually matured as people because we met each other.”
“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and a girl appear in the same feature, a romance must insue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mentally inspire eachother to live-if I am able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.” -hayao miyazaki

dark academia study techniques
rewriting your notes, over and over and over again, not worrying about the neatness but paying close attention to each and every word
muttering every bit you know by heart under your breath as you walk down the streets
studying early in the morning, focusing on one sentence or chapter and pondering it through the day
researching things that you have questions about on your own, finding books on that subject and leafing through them
reciting your notes dramatically to your household companion or your stuffed animal
challenging yourself to think, speak, write and consume media only in your target language
eating certain snacks with different subjects and letting the smells trigger your memories
associating each subject to someone you know by sight only
romanticising bits that you have difficulty getting interested in
chanting your notes at night on a classical tune
