Do Something!

Tahini Al-Jamil saying ‘I had never felt quite so seen as when she saw me’ sounds like something straight out of a dark academia novel, where the protagonist is describing their ‘friend’ who they’re definitely NOT in love with

Concept idea

most dark academia books and film have one person is obsessed with an enigmatic society or group of people/friends. What about the reverse?

A group of friends that become obsessed with one ‘perfect’ person; a loner of sorts, yet are mutually respected by everyone and don’t seem the need to make friends. Yet the group forces themselves onto that person, hungry to finding out more and essentially almost becoming like them. So they obviously get lured in by a single, mysterious person that could shatter them in a second.

Fuck your zodiac sign, what Series of Unfortunate Events book do you most relate you?

Ok this is very late but I just saw your post on poc literature, but I wanted to let u know Ruth Jhabprawala is NOT a poc author. She's white but has profited from the misconception that she's South Asian although her books contain a lot of racist imagery and beliefs. I love her work on film but just wanted to let u and others know for the future! Thanks for creating the list too :-)

Thank you for informing me, I never knew!

That evening they managed to brew some tea. The handful of leaves that the bear had saved for a special occasion was enough for exactly two cups. They were fortunate to find some candles in the old house, for this meant they could have a real festive tea party.

Though it was dark and cold outside, in that house, around the round wooden table, a miracle took place...

happy upcoming new year!
