I am currently talking to the mod of this subreddit. I will most likely become a mod rather than creating a whole new subreddit, but any changes will still apply. I will continue to edit this post when there are more updates

A couple days ago, I made a post explaining that the rules of this sub were not being followed and the moderators have not been as active. I sent a message to them explaining everything and still have not heard back. Instead of flooding my other post with comments, I might as well make another one about the situation.

Thank you to all who has supported my last post and acknowledging the flaws of this subreddit. Dark academia has been a favorite hobby of mine for a few years now, and it's so sad to see it slipping away on the internet (especially with the AI nonsense). I have had the idea to create my own subreddit to preserve its orginality and to create a safer space for anyone who wants to post. I honestly thought the posting was just slow because of the low member count, but it had a reason within. I recieved a lot of comments explaining why they don't post or why they are rarely on here and I never realized how big of an impact this was. So please, I really want to know your thoughts on this and hopefully revert this modern definition of DA!

Visited this multi-generational Italian family of Master Craftsmen’s old-school studio in Milwaukee. Such a beautiful space with tons of history.

Felt like I belonged in a prep school. I was quite proud of it.

I organised a sword-and-shield combat tournament for secondary school pupils in a medieval abbey on a foggy day.

A ground (or ground bass) on the Renaissance lute refers to a repeating bass line or chord progression that serves as the structural foundation for a piece of music, over which a musician or a second instrument plays continuous variations, melodic divisions, or a treble melody

I’m also absolutely in love with my tweet cap I bought the other day, makes my Dark Academia style more complete 🥰

Diferentes capas de cuero grabado a mano. Costura con cintas de cuero. En el centro un corazón metálico. Cuero envejecido!

This is my first post here and for someone who activetly looks at this subreddit, I've reported a lot of posts that contain AI or accounts spam-promoting themselves while using AI, and those posts are usually from the same few people. Can we get mods to be more strict on those two rules? If you also go to their accounts, they post the same exact shit to other subreddits. They keep showing up and not being taken down. There has been other complaints in the replies of those posts so please, pay more attention to them and improve this subreddit's experience!

Here's my favorite art piece "Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette" by Van Gogh to enjoy your day/night😊

I started reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Got a decent bit into it, but I felt it was moving a bit slow so I picked up If We Were Villains. I think I'm in a reading funk because I only got a little bit into it before I put it down for several months. I'm getting the reading itch again and want to get into the genre because I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it based on the genre's elements. Are there any books that are faster-paced that would be a good starting off point?

Look at the details on this notebook! The chain, the quilted leather texture, and that golden skull are just perfect for a dark academy or pirate-themed Halloween setup. Totally obsessed.

I like the black background, I am not a painter.

I just bought some acrylics and tried.

This is my little living room, where I record music with the keyboard. Bye bye!

Got out of an engagement earlier this year and moved out. I'm just now starting to feel a bit settled into the new place with my bestie. We have quite similar Aesthetics but executed in different ways so our little dwelling has the utmost amount of comfort and warmth. (I know, I'm quite biased)

Its been so fun to indulge in my tastes more lately and growing my numerous amounts of collections. Just wanted to share my space as I cant wait til its fully done. :)

Hello everyone! I wanted to share this playlist I made because every time I looked on Spotify for dark academia music I was only finding very "traditional" kinds of classical music. I wanted to find music I really liked so I could use it for study and writing/painting/reading sessions... I was a bit bored of hearing the same thing on every playlist. I'm going to update this one every week with new contemporary classical music! My aim is to keep it moody, dark, and dramatic so that it fits that dark academia vibe. I hope you enjoy it !
