“elane haven is the most beautiful girl i’ve seen in any capacity, but she looks best in moonlight.”

dark academia / autumn

• lighting a scented candle & reading curled up in an armchair

• browsing the bookshelves at your favourite library while the rain is knocking on the windows

• making a hearty butternut squash soup & baking an apple pie for dessert

• drinking vanilla tea while being wrapped up in a cozy blanket

• reading russian classics as the fresh autumn air is blowing in from the open window

• taking a long walk after it has rained, smelling the air rich in oxygen, watching the leaves in autumn colours fall & listening to them crunching at each step

• having a warm hot chocolate & leaving a stain of your burgundy lipstick on the edge of the cup

• wearing your favourite turtlenecks & oversized sweaters under a long wool coat

• visiting a museum with your secret lover, holding hands and enjoying the art in the silence of the old galleries

• sitting in a small café, drinking warm coffee & looking outside at the pouring rain, pulling the sleeves of your knit to protect your palms from the hot cup

• listening to dark, romantic classical music as you sit in front of the fireplace, watching the flames dance & crackle

• writing letters & poetry onto thick, cream paper, black ink staining your fingertips as you feverishly try to find the right words & expressions

• taking a bite of bitter yet sweet dark chocolate & a sip of high tannin red wine as you read plays aloud with friends, cooped up inside while it is storming

i put characters from every fandom i know in hogwarts houses: red queen edition

Mare is a Slytherin. No explanation necessary.

Evangeline is a Griffendor. I know she often acts like a Slytherin, but thats how she has been raised. All her character trades that Mare noticed on her were this typical mean silver princess trades. Her parents want her to be that way. But in the last book she needs to be brave and find out who she truly is. She still does

Farley is a  Griffendor shes so brave, cunning and strong even though she dosen´t have any powers, lost her mother and sister, lost Shade, have a child and beeing tortured she is still fighting. She´s so strong. Love her.

Cal is a Huffelpuff, my baby. Always trying to make things right.

Original Maven is a Ravenclaw. The MareandCal Maven. The Maven without Elara. Thinking things on his own. With some Huffelpuff tenses. RIP.

Lucas Samos is also a Huffelpuff. Also RIP.

Iris is a Griffindor. I wish we had something in broken throne about her. After reread war storm i realised how truly intresting her story is. Even though she isn´t one of my favourite characters. Her story is not over.

Julian is a Ravenclaw. Just like his sister. They both saw that the system was wrong.

Sara Skonos is a Ravenclaw. Thinking thinks on her own. And try to do the right thing like go on the red war front in Queen Song.

Cameron is a Slytherin. She has her own goals. Love her.

The Fishboy is a Huffelpuff. Mare has an affection for Huffelpuffboys. Like all Slytherins do. But seriously, his character is so real and still loveable. Victoria did a great job writting him. He deserves only the best.

Gisa is a Ravenclaw.

Shade is with his war- intelligence a Slytherin. He is very similar to Mare. And like his father. Who is also a Slytherin and who i also love. RIP. We will always love him.

Ruth Barrow is a Huffelpuff. Trammy is also one.

And Bree is a Griffindor. Love him!

Ella is a Griffindor. Wish we had seen more of her.

Tyton Jesper is a Slytherin. True power. Love his relationship with Mare.

I wish i could write something about Rafe because he seems really interesting and i loved the dynamic of the Electricons.

Elane Haven is a Griffindor, she has the brave to love and open herself for nnew things.

I love this book series. The writing is great, the story is great and the characters are so deep, interesting and real. It´s a masterpiece.

not me saying carpe diem before i do smthg risky and in most cases; stupid

being in love as an academic

gentle kisses before lectures as they walk you to the hall

slow dancing to mozart, vibing to hozier, & dancing wildly to mother mother

sitting in their lap as you both finish work

zoom calls instead of studying

handwritten letters snuck under dorm doors & pressed flowers hidden in books

imagining their soft smiles as you power through a dull lecture

comparing annotations in literature & workings in mathematics

gently holding them when it gets too much, pressing a kiss to their temple & reminding them of the joy you’ll have after graduation

nicknames after niche & unknown scientists, mathematicians & authors

Want to buy beautiful hard copies of my favorite books, annotate the shit out of it, fill it with sticky notes and letter and then give it to that one person.
