Southwestern Dark Academia

Dark academia doesn't fit in the southwest US. Ain't nobody got time for 3+ layers of clothing in 100+ degree heat for most of the year.

Dark academia down here is more like reading in jean shorts on a leather chair, sitting on the edge so you don't stick.

And wandering the air conditioned library stacks only to get lost and not be really sure why you have goosebumps or if its just the way-to-high A/C.

Becoming almost nocturnal and watching summer monsoons at 2 am make purple and orange light shows against the clouds.
