I just now realized i've been living DA my whole life. Living on the highest hill on town, rain is the common weather. I love to read (I study mostly French, Social Studies, and the Victorian Era) love designing old ball gowns, and love everything in between.👀
I find walking city, or town, streets and looking around reveals entire adventures down alleys, into shops (never noticed before), and tons of historical bits.
I love literature, I'm Greek and obsessed with mythology, I love paintings, especially the Italian Renaissance ones, I'm learning Italian, I speak French, English, Greek, I listen to depressing music, I love watching TV series, I love rain and clouds, and I drink way too much coffee. I love philosophy, photography, I write sometimes. Life's perfect
@@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844 ohh, Greek is a beautiful language. You can always try yourself, but it's a difficult one. Not trying to dissuade you, but make sure you want it before you try it.
@@v.a.l.i.a It would make it easier to understand those conversations my dad and papou have where they switch between Greek and English, and if I ever want to visit Greece someday I’ll probably have to have some amount of knowledge of Greek, so I want to learn. I can ask people if they want salad already!
Aesthetically speaking some of these can also be light academia. And I so appreciate you for saying that "learning" is the main component of DA. Being an Indian, I can't follow the clothing and colour aesthetic of Western DA. But it's the thirst for knowledge, I understand very well . Recently I did something. I rode a traditional Tram car in my city that had a small built-in library! How cool is that! It's definitely a Dark Academia thing to do imo.
yea exactly! you dont have to dress in the style to live an academic life at all, its optional :) OMG that sounds soooo delightful!! I am about to google that right now
@@justlanchen thank you so much. Search for Tram with Library in Kolkata, India. You'll find it. I also posted a shorts on this channel about that Tramcar. I'm not a youtuber but I do have some plans ;)
One of my coolest DA moments in life was when I was walking around in Budapest heading to a litterature gala hosted by the magazine where I published poetry and in the old city center I heard someone playing debussy on piano while I was daydreaming about buying some antique dumas books I just saw and I was wearing some pinstripes and Oxfords while smoking a cigar
I'd recommend getting a copy of the Einstein - Freud Correspondence, painting watercolor landscapes and studying birds' names, also in Latin.😊And let me not forget, kissing under a tree in the park.
My best DA advice: wear nice elegant clothing when you attend the theatre. It shows a respect for the culture, the performance and the art form. I’ve been asked if I worked at theaters before when I’m attending shows, I never go in anything less than elegant.😅
@@justlanchen I love Epictetus too, and I love the neoplatonists also. I use to read Plotinus, but also the Renaissance neoplatonist, like Pico della Mirandola and Marsilio Ficino. But I must confess I love reading Cicero and Marcus Aurelius too.
Glad found a recent comment 😊 I love DA lifestyle, the way I live it its through listening to DA music, watching movies,etc. I love being by candlelight since I can remember and currently studying a 3rd language(japanese)which is one of the DA subjects. Hope you enjoy ur DA life as well😊 cheers
Wait, I recently discovered dark academia but I was living dark academia and I didn't even knew 🙂🖤 Rainy weather most of the time, love for books , candles, walking through forest observing things like a dumb, just feeling good to know that I choose the right aesthetic 🖤
Sometimes I think to live DA in tropical countries such as Brazil is hard. It's hot all the time (mainly in north and northeast's states), it's not easy to find DA stuff to decorate, and even if we find is so expensive. Well, I do what I can, lol.
I’m about to be right there with you because I think I’m moving to Hawaii so I will definitely have to think about new ways to incorporate it in a tropical place. I know I can keep a room that’s aesthetic but as for dressing that way all the time will be hard
The picture from #35 is a place in Llandaff,Cardiff, Wales called the Bishops Palace. It is the ruin of a medieval palace that was used by the Bishop of Llandaff that was adjacent to the Cathedral. It has been a Christian place of worship since the 6th century. The ruin is now a garden where local people sit and eat lunch, walk the dog or rest. I love this place. I live very close by
The algorithm suggested this video, and I am glad it did. Great ideas! I'm sitting in a coffee shop, listening to this, sipping a London Fog latte, and writing a letter.
I'm a person who was kinda raised into living DA style (my family is full of musicians and teachers, with my direct ancestors from one side of the family all being musicians for 3 generations), then had a bit of teenage rebbelion against it, just to come back to it full force and become the most vintage-y person in the whole family... Now I spend half of my free time talking about poetry, literature and teaching with my grandmother while drinking tea or crotcheting together ^^
I have been learning a new language which is German, writing poetries, listening to classical music and sketching. I want to learn a classical instrument, learn about Greek mythology cause I've heard about it a lot and in my country they don't teach about Greek mythology. Now that I think about it I should also learn about Indian mythology. Learning chess was on my list already. I want to buy a camera. Damn I'm interested in these things more and you gave such good recommendations. Thanks a lot
12:29 I love Shakespeare in the Park! I was in a younger group of actors and we did a camp and did our own production of a Shakespeare play multiple times! soooo enjoyable
My entire life (and I mean since I was around 3) I have been fantasising about this lifestyle. My biggest one is being in London and putting on a plaid ivy cap along with a brown leather overcoat and walking in the rain in silence until I reach a loud pub, where I walk in and there are groups of people smoking cigars and talking and reading and drinking whisky from the finest glasses. Then I whip out a big leather notebook and sit alone in a table in the corner with my own glass of whiskey and start drawing. When I finish sketching I read lord of the rings or Sherlock Holmes until I get bored. This fantasy made me learn that I was DA🤎
I've done all but five. I don't drink coffee and a dinner party during the plague isn't likely. I would probably have to move back to a city to see an Opera. Still fun to read the list and see how many things I have participated in before I knew Dark Academia was an aesthetic.Oh and I just bought a vintage copy of Jane Eyre.
I live in a latin American country but that hasn't stopped me from living my DA life😊 I am totally hooked on the music❤Not to say I don't listen to anything else but mainly classical I fancy. Currently learning a 3rd language and of course I watch DA movies; being HP and Dorian gray portrait my favorites. I am also a witch by birth so I fit perfectly with the culture. Glad to have found a community of intelectuals❤❤
I don't know if this fits, but I build radios made from parts from the 1920s and homemade parts that I've made myself. I can hear stations 300 miles away on these radios powered only by the radio waves
Anything vintage as must be the case with your radios definitely belong over here. Reminds me of all the inventors from Leonardo da Vinci to Marie Curie.
Create fancy formal professor inspired clothing, take pictures of them, and then put them all into a photo album. You could use a Polaroid camera, develop the film, do it completely digitally, or get them printed through the photo printing machines. another option is just using your home printer. A big part of dark academia is dressing like professors and for some of us it is hard to come up with ideas of what to wear so it can be a lot of fun to be creative and see what you can make. You also can go on a separate shopping spree for this but I think it’s even more fun to challenge yourself and see what you already have from your home wardrobe. Of course I’m shopping for this type of outfit is another activity.
This would be a lot more fun for me if I lived close to anything. My nearest art museum is an hour away, and my local library is inside my high school.
I realize this is a necro-post but I just learned about DA 30 minutes ago and found my tribe. I would humbly add to the great list above, learn Latin, read H.P. Lovecraft, and discover the joy of fountain pens and their corresponding world of different papers. I work on my penmanship daily with new words and quotes I find interesting.
Some really good ideas, thank you for this list! I came across your channel yesterday and started bingeing all your DA videos (instead of writing my term paper on Robert Burns, but there you go lol) My personal style is something more like 60s/70s hippie, but I love dark academia as well. Maybe I'm hippie academia, who knows?😂 I went back to uni in my late 30s to study communication science and English literature and I'm loving it!
When I was dating my husband in the 1990's, I wanted romance with flowers and love letters. Since I wasn't going to wait and he wasn't the type to do such things, I sent him flowers and wrote him love letters, which he greatly appreciated. He still has all my love letters stashed away in a secret box. My favorite stationary was a high weight stationary from Crane with lined envelopes in a cream color.
Oooooo i'm a piano teacher, i like to draw (anatomy and botanics), love my tea and coffee. I have a thing for greek mythos. I'm currently learning italian and i'm always reading, all the time ahahah i'm almost there!!!
3:10 - Actually, I'm a Brazilian and I'm watching this video in English with English captions to learn more about the language. I understand the words written (although I don't have an extensive vocabulary and I'm using the translator right now because I'm lazy to try to write), but my hearing is terrible, because it's not my usual language I feel like they speak very fast and "quiet". Probably because Portuguese is a language with a more open sound. Honestly, I didn't like the English language, so I started learning more out of necessity, so, knowing English, I can travel to "low of the mare" (the translation must be terrible, but we really mean this in the sense of a distant, geographically unknown place) as we speak here in northeastern Brazil, and I'm still starting to like the sound of that language, it's being fun.
Something funny, the "low of the mare" really exists, it's the name of an old town in Bahia, we usually use it in the sense of sending a person who doesn't like to go to a place that is far away and bad
Change your major in college from Political Science to anything else, e.g., English or Sociology. One of my few good decisions. btw, the best classical music piece ever composed is "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov.
I've been going through different aesthetics to try and categorize sort of my style I guess. I still haven't found one yet. Dark academia is cool, but it's just like, so "dated" feeling you know. I wish there was something like dark academia but like more modern style.
You could try chaotic academia then? It takes the love for learning and all that comes along with it (like reading books and spending most of your time studying), but puts it in modern times - the color pallette is less strict (sometimes I read that there is no recommended pallette for this aesthetic, sometimes I read that it's neons), people drink energy drinks instead of tea and coffee, and the whole culture is much more... Well, as the name implies, chaotic - in a sort of punky way.
I would add: Join a wine tasting club Enjoy blues music Dance! Travel and connect to people all over the world Volunteer! Have interest in science Take care of the Earth Be funny!

It’s funny. I’ve kinda been some kind of academia my whole life as well and now they are aesthetics. Also in germany we have to write cursive until 5th/6th grade in school with a fountain pen and ink (no others are allowed). So it is an easy one to write that kind of style for me and having inked hands always been part of my daily life. 😅 And with being a total “nerd” and fancying physics and now studying it at university, makes me feel kinda dark academia as well even though most of the people are talking about the history and literature niche. :)
For all the People from 2024 beyond: Careful with the owl language app as they’re starting to shift into using purely AI language models instead of actual humans
Reading your local newspaper would probably make you more dumb. Wouldn't it be more dark and more academic to read conspiracy theorist popular science pages on the internet? They did not have the internet back then, but if they had, they would have used it.
I'm learning French from a record🤓- now that's dark lol lol🖤
That is the most DA thing I have ever heard of!! I didn’t even mention playing music from a record but dang that is a good idea

😍😍😍 that sounds sooo dreamy. seesh!!! I'm so happy you shared that because memories like that dont get shared often

The picture from #35 is a place in Llandaff,Cardiff, Wales called the Bishops Palace. It is the ruin of a medieval palace that was used by the Bishop of Llandaff that was adjacent to the Cathedral. It has been a Christian place of worship since the 6th century. The ruin is now a garden where local people sit and eat lunch, walk the dog or rest. I love this place. I live very close by

There aren’t a ton of *new* DA videos so I’m glad someone is still making them in 2022
happy you like them :)
With annotating books I also recommend keeping a day book as well.
Loving your list of Dark Academia things to do. As for cursive writing, Calligraphy comes to mind. It looks so elegant.
Ohhhh yes that is a good one 🥰🥰🥰
I got a quill pen for my birthday... One of the best gifts I've ever gotten
Ah, dark academia... I feel I have finally learnt to love learning
As a local news reporter, and someone who lives and embodies DA I loved #2 on this list🖤📰

I also consider baking a dark academia activity. Especially when using wooden or dark stone cookware.
Another person who lives in the same area as me! There aren't many people here who are part of this aesthetic here, by I'm glad that I've met someone!
I've been to lots of poetry readings.
I suggest the first 15 minutes of the movie "So I Married anb Axe Murderer".

I realize this is a necro-post but I just learned about DA 30 minutes ago and found my tribe. I would humbly add to the great list above, learn Latin, read H.P. Lovecraft, and discover the joy of fountain pens and their corresponding world of different papers. I work on my penmanship daily with new words and quotes I find interesting.
Some really good ideas, thank you for this list! I came across your channel yesterday and started bingeing all your DA videos (instead of writing my term paper on Robert Burns, but there you go lol) My personal style is something more like 60s/70s hippie, but I love dark academia as well. Maybe I'm hippie academia, who knows?😂 I went back to uni in my late 30s to study communication science and English literature and I'm loving it!
Can you do a video on "beach academia decor"? Like dark academia but apropriate for a study in a beach house if that makes sence?
When I was dating my husband in the 1990's, I wanted romance with flowers and love letters. Since I wasn't going to wait and he wasn't the type to do such things, I sent him flowers and wrote him love letters, which he greatly appreciated. He still has all my love letters stashed away in a secret box. My favorite stationary was a high weight stationary from Crane with lined envelopes in a cream color.
I would recommend the typewriter.
I set my computer to slow the keys and make typewriters sounds. I write more
Just an amazing video! Maybe you can do light academia one if your not to busy of course!
that is a great suggestion, ill def write that down :)
Your voice is so soothing and the activities v inspirational. Thanks

3:10 - Actually, I'm a Brazilian and I'm watching this video in English with English captions to learn more about the language. I understand the words written (although I don't have an extensive vocabulary and I'm using the translator right now because I'm lazy to try to write), but my hearing is terrible, because it's not my usual language I feel like they speak very fast and "quiet". Probably because Portuguese is a language with a more open sound. Honestly, I didn't like the English language, so I started learning more out of necessity, so, knowing English, I can travel to "low of the mare" (the translation must be terrible, but we really mean this in the sense of a distant, geographically unknown place) as we speak here in northeastern Brazil, and I'm still starting to like the sound of that language, it's being fun.
Something funny, the "low of the mare" really exists, it's the name of an old town in Bahia, we usually use it in the sense of sending a person who doesn't like to go to a place that is far away and bad
"Read more books"
me already reading at least 3 books per week...
I will happily read more!
coffee in the morning tea in the afteroon
I'm learning Albanian.
It fun. Pershendetje!
Change your major in college from Political Science to anything else, e.g., English or Sociology. One of my few good decisions. btw, the best classical music piece ever composed is "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov.
Lovely, thank you Mon Cheri
Love from Scotland Xx

I've been going through different aesthetics to try and categorize sort of my style I guess. I still haven't found one yet. Dark academia is cool, but it's just like, so "dated" feeling you know. I wish there was something like dark academia but like more modern style.
business casual? maybeeee. is that more modern?
You could try chaotic academia then? It takes the love for learning and all that comes along with it (like reading books and spending most of your time studying), but puts it in modern times - the color pallette is less strict (sometimes I read that there is no recommended pallette for this aesthetic, sometimes I read that it's neons), people drink energy drinks instead of tea and coffee, and the whole culture is much more... Well, as the name implies, chaotic - in a sort of punky way.
6:28 this is a book in Ukrainian 💛💙
I've been dark academia and didn't know what I was untill I knew what this was 😭
I would add:
Join a wine tasting club
Enjoy blues music
Dance!
Travel and connect to people all over the world
Volunteer!
Have interest in science
Take care of the Earth
Be funny!
Buy all-leather (grounding) shoes and go for a walk in DA kinds of clothes 🙂
It reminds me of the beat generation
3:20 Oh! I'm already reading a new language cool

51- go out at night and Wacht the stars

Hey anyone of you familiar with any website from where we can get short video clips for editing purposes?
Yes there is a website called story blocks for that :)
@@justlanchen wym?
Kinda awkward knowing I'm living in dark academia without knowing there's a term for that lol
Right?!😂
they dont teach cursive in class anymore!!! i dont believe im that old
I know :( it’s so sad
いいなぁ、日本にはこんな洒落た文化ないよ
We don't have dark academia our culture😢
It’s funny. I’ve kinda been some kind of academia my whole life as well and now they are aesthetics. Also in germany we have to write cursive until 5th/6th grade in school with a fountain pen and ink (no others are allowed). So it is an easy one to write that kind of style for me and having inked hands always been part of my daily life. 😅
And with being a total “nerd” and fancying physics and now studying it at university, makes me feel kinda dark academia as well even though most of the people are talking about the history and literature niche. :)
Who is your favorite philosopher?
Epictetus🤍
Play a Nancy Drew game lol
Playing chess is fun.
Learn the Sicilian Defense.
You look like Scarlett Johansson

Love Dark academia with all my heart but it’s so problematic lol
Haha yea I feel that
For all the People from 2024 beyond:
Careful with the owl language app as they’re starting to shift into using purely AI language models instead of actual humans
Reading your local newspaper would probably make you more dumb. Wouldn't it be more dark and more academic to read conspiracy theorist popular science pages on the internet? They did not have the internet back then, but if they had, they would have used it.
