Ever noticed that it's always the people with low self-esteem, constantly criticize and talk negatively of other people. These people don't have any kind of self love or self worth for themselves. In fact they even hate themselves. The only way that these insecure people can feel better about themselves is by talking negatively or down on people. By speaking lowly of other people they feed their ego so that they can feel superior to you. If you see people like this, you better maintain a certain level of distance from them. These are the people who are most likely to spread unnecessary rumours and they don't mind destroying other people's reputation. Stay away from these toxic vampires.
Man why most Dark Academia decor ideas are like "get a Roman marble statue" or "put an antique gramophone".
Most of the Dark Academia "fanbase" are students, myself included. So here's a list of actual room decor that won't make you go bankrupt or rob a museum (tho that would be nice), which works for not only Dark, but any Academia:
Books . Pile up your to-read list or your favorite or just good looking ones.
A lamp. Preferably a little antique-ish, something affordable and nice and one that actually works and doesn't take half your desk.
Candles . The easiest. Just normal or scented one. Put them in one place or scatter through the room.
Flowers . Maybe a little Cottagecore-y, but flowers are nice to gaze upon while daydreaming, calms you down and a nice addition to any room.
Something floral but withered . A pressed flower or a branch with dried leaves. Maybe weird, but it's nice and stays longer than flowers.
A thing or two from a second hand or a flea market just for the โจ aesthetic โจ (I have a wooden pipe. I don't smoke and don't intend to). Like a candle holder.
Bo - I can't emphasize this enough - xes. Any size and colour, to put anything from notes to books to flowers. I got a nice looking chest and a jewelry box.
An inspiration board. I got a cork board with letters from my friends and some pictures. I also put there things to remember and tips.
Wall decor. May be a glued to the wall music score, a picture in a frame, flowers (again), photos, quotes and pages of books.
Additional shelves (if possible).
Stationery holder. I've got like 8 (I'm not kidding) on my desks for different purposes bc I'm a horder ;)
Posters. Anime, movies, inspiration, nature... Anything. It's your room.
Anything you feel fits there. A skull you found in the woods? Stick it in. Your laptop to work and watch movies on? Make sure it can charge. Your collection of anything? Make that shit visible fam. A photo of your idol or a loved one? Put it on! A poster with a boys band covered in writing? Above the bed it goes!
You may add more.
