    let's do the dark academia book tag while i give myself a dark academia makeover by doing my makeup and sharing some outfits. it's not a huge transformation haha i would wear these outfits on a daily basis. In this video we talk about bookstores, beautiful stories, mythology, art and more. Hope you enjoy!

    Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

    Leonie, you have to check out "Macbeth"! It has descent-into-darkness story arc, so if you loved "Picture of Dorian Gray"and "Vicious", you would love that one!

    I think the book series "His Dark Materials" fits very well into the dark academia genre, and you'd love them! Some of my favourite books ever

    That language part resonated so much with me, lol.
    I'm german, so I speak german (and english obviously), I can understand a bit of dutch because like you said, they're kinda similar, I took french in school but also can't really SPEAK it because it's been 7 years, super basic level of spanish and I'm also trying to learn japanese right now. Also have to learn latin (and maybe greek) for university.

    That is actually a thing? Wow, I always used to simply see it as a part of why fall/autumn is my favorite season because it is also always the beginning of a new academic year lol Great to know that it actually has a name, though.

  • @danielle3308
    @danielle3308 Před 3 lety

    I love that this tag is a thing and you always give off dark academia vibes & I love it. The outfits are SO cute & peak dark academia. I'm a history major and would love to be an egyptologist except I would prob have to live in Egypt to actually have that career. So I teach myself in my free time lol. Audible has this great new thing called The Great Courses. They're lectures by professors and basically people who know what they're talking about. I'm listening to one right now called The History of Ancient Egypt and it's so good! It helps that each lecture is about 30 minutes, so you can listen to one at a time and there are 24ish hours in all I believe. Just wanted to let you know! It's like getting the quality information and lecture of a college course but the cost is a lot different haha. There are also many different subjects but you mentioned Egyptian mythology so I thought you may wanna know!

  • @livinginsideabelljar6869

    The Mona Lisa Smile movie is a very clear example of the Feminine Mystique that took placed in the 50s, 60s and even 70s. Betty Friedan wrote about this phenomenon (The Feminine Mystique) in case you're interested in learning more about it! Loved this video to bits.

    I love Leonie and seriously, no offence to anyone, but I absolutely hate how westernized dark academia is. I mean, coats/candles/shakespeare blah blah it's all so western centric and I think that's so sad that people limit it to just that. Have you ever looked up indian dark academia on instagram or tumblr? It is mindblowing!!! Gorgeous saris/anarkalis, diyas, urdu poets/so many books, have you seen mughal architecture?!!!, henna, hindu mythology, chai oh my god there's so much i wish dark academia enthusiasts were more diverse with their love for DA.
