“““You’re Not A Monster,” I Said. But I Lied. What I Really Wanted To Say Was That A Monster

For my fellow Dark Academia pretencious wannabe students that have an obssession for TSH;

If you want to learn what Julian teaches in his classes, read Poetics by Aristotle. It’s not as hard to read as it looks, and you don’t need much pre-knowledge in philosophy to understand it, just need to know a little bit about greek tragedies (Oedipus Rex and Antigone by Sophocle, Odissey and Illiad by Homer are good ways to start). Reading it will make you feel you’re a part of the classics murderer friends group.

If you want other rec books that are good to introduce you to philosophy, just comment here!

"I wish I knew what to do with my life, what to do with my heart...I do nothing all day, boredom settles in, I look at the sky so I get to feel even smaller than I already feel and my mind keeps poisoning itself uselessly."

-Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals Of Sylvia Plath

Now that I think about it, Monster is pretty much a dark academian anime. Johan is literally the poster boy for dark academia and spouts edgy quotes while driving people into s*ic*de but don't worry, you will also meet the most wholesome people in this anime.

and how could i forget this very iconic quote:

I rest my case 😌 Now go watch Monster, it's such a great and very underrated anime though there are a lot of trigger warnings and nudity.

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

"Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day."
