hogwarts houses as types of dark academia — a thread

slytherin as ‘darkest academia’
—• piping hot black coffee, tired eyes & cold hands, dark wood floors, reading by the window as it rains, black turtlenecks, studying by candlelight well into the night, leather-bound books, dead flowers in vases, illegible handwriting, mystery.❞

ravenclaw as ‘classic academia’
—• quoting literature without meaning to, books scattered on every surface, living in the library, antique shops, margins filled with annotations, the weight of wisdom beyond your years, plaid trousers, classical music echoing in the halls.❞

gryffindor as ‘chaotic academia’
—• listening to mozart with airpods, drinking juice in a wine glass, running through corridors, underlining every word you dislike in a book, terrible puns and constant sarcasm, having a ton of mottos which you never abide by, ink stains.❞

hufflepuff as ‘romantic academia’
—• chamomile tea, watching the sunrise, brushing plants with your fingers as you walk past, writing poetry & slipping it between the pages of a book for someone else to find, hushed whispers between library shelves, visiting art museums.❞
