❛One is loved, because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving❜ ∼ Fatima, The Alchemist

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."

Friedrich Nietzsche

Vivamus, moriendum est.

Translation: Let us live, since we must die.

Books, tea and rainy days. This is all I want in life.

Dark Academia aesthetic

I'm sick and tired of the lack of stem dark academia vibes in modern literature. Obviously we have Frankenstein, which I love, but I am foaming at the mouth for a book like The Secret History, or Bunny, or Dead Poet Society but stem.

Imagine a murder mystery at a prestigious university, but it's a sleep-deprived physics student who's obsessed with space, an equally as tired chemistry student that's only a ~little~ unhinged and overexcited for orgo lab, and a medicine student who spent an entire week studying anatomy getting together to solve it.

Or, they all suspect each other, though nobody knows that they do, and the actual murderer attempts to sabotage the group effort without being caught.
