Aussie Academia

aussie academia

aussie academia is writing your essay the night before, sitting in your wet swimmers, an ice cold bottle of cheap wine sweating onto the table beside you, your legs sticking to the seat, your hair still dripping water down your back.

it’s the taste of salt water in your mouth, the smell of the day’s sunscreen, and more ink on your fingers than the page.

it’s seeking refuge from the heat by studying in the cool, white, science lab during your lunch. it’s drawing all the blinds to keep the sun out and having to write your flashcards in the dark. it’s bare feet in the library.

it’s biting into a slice of watermelon, the juice dripping down your chin and staining your notes pink. it’s keeping gold coins in your bra to buy a one dollar ice cream from the servo on your study break. it’s memorising content until the sun goes down at ten pm, and then using the warm light of the sunset to study until midnight.

it’s flipping flashcards with your best friend on the front porch, having to raise your voice over the evening cicadas. it’s opening your notebook to find sand in the spine. it’s using flat shells as bookmarks and coconut scented candles everywhere. it’s the smell of citronella and cigarettes on the south lawn, giggles in the air after exams.

donna tartt was a crazy woman for making julian and henrys relationship mirror that of fuckass aristoteles and alexander the great

julian is essentially just an 80s aristoteles because he lives in solitude, believes in natural hierarchies and aristocracies, places virtue and studies above all, his most famous student — alexander the great — ends up conquering the world and then when said student isnt of use to him anymore he runs away in fear

a triangle chart with three captions, one at each point. the first says "angel rules (you can break the rules, but doing so will have irreversible consequences)". the second, "fae rules (you can't break the rules, but you can exploit any loophole)" and the third "machine/artificial intelligence rules (the rules are encoded in your very being, and to break them requires breaking you)".

been thinking about fantasy/scifi rule systems and free will

people vaguely saying 'the horrors' as shorthand for 'life problems, don't worry about it' in conversations where the problems are not going to be delved into has got to be one of my favorite new Ways Of Speaking that has emerged. like it's polite and vague and succinct enough for impersonal conversation but also extremely honest. it's very funny. The Horrors. we all know of them.

The thing is, I could read a thousand Hale Pack fics featuring Sterek, Pack Mom Stiles, Jackson never leaving and Boyd and Erica living. A thousand variants of that, inject it into my veins.

i give you Liam “Passenger Princess” Dunbar; the man absolutely HATES driving and didn’t tell Theo he got his license until 6 months afterwards because he didn’t want to be forced to drive them somewhere and Theo “Chauffeur” Raeken who absolutely HATES when he isn’t in the drivers seat and knew when Liam got his license but didn’t bring it up because he didn’t want Liam to drive them somewhere
