Dark Academia...
All words in black are from Annie who Hosts Tuesday4. You can link up here. All words in blue are mine.
1. Does this picture evoke any feelings in you? If so share what they are please. What is the mood it sets for you? Honestly, the first thing I thought of is Harry Potter. I know, I'm weird.
2. Put yourself into this scene. Where are you going? Just out walking and exploring this neighborhood.
3. Do you have a companion or are you going to meet someone? Who is it? I seldom travel alone, so I'd probably have my hubby walking along with me.
4. Using your imagination describe who and what you find inside the foreground building. Is it a restaurant, library, academic building, a home? It's a small used bookstore, with a bookstore cat and dog who love to be petted and held by the visitors. There is lots of comfortable seating so hubby and I intend to spend some time relaxing and browsing with maybe some hot chocolate to sip on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Dark Academia is a style steeped in the romanticism of literary nostalgia and the academic aesthetic of classical architecture and arts. Originating in the hall of Ivy-covered universities, this style speaks to those who yearn for an era of structured elegance and intellectual pursuit.
Hot chocolate sounds good to me! My hubby would take a seat in a cozy chair and I would go off
ReplyDeleteand explore. Maybe pets are allowed at your bookstore.
Yes, that would be nice!
DeleteI love the thought of this being a cozy bookstore! Makes me think of that splendid old song from My Fair Lady, "All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air ...."
ReplyDeleteYes. I haven't thought of that song in a long time. It's perfect!
DeleteNot weird at all. Harry Potter is definitely dark academia! Fits right in perfectly. We blogger sure love our bookstores!
ReplyDeleteYes, we certainly do Annie!
DeleteCathy, Harry Potter was my first thought, too!! Nothing weird about that! This is a fun Tuesday 4!!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! I wasn't going to do it because I couldn't think of anything, but then I went and read yours and enjoyed it and decided to do it myself. So glad I did. Thanks for the inspiration,
DeleteOh, yes, that would be a great bookstore, and I love the cat and dog and hot chocolate, although it would have to be either tea or hot Ovaltine for me! LOL. I'm glad you have your hubby with you. It's not really a place to walk alone. Good answers!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam and I'm sure there would be tea too!
