Academic Cottage

Rossini wrote a cat duet. Yes, you read that correctly, a cat duet. Look it up, it’ll make you smile and laugh.

Stockhausen wrote a helicopter quartet... uhu... a quartet of strings... in a f*cking helicopter.

Wagner: der Ring der Nibelungen. You like Lord of the Rings? You. Will. Love. This.

Ouverture 1812. Tchaikovsky used a cannon in this piece because he tought a f*cking orchestra was too mainstream. A cannon. If you don’t think that’s cool, I don’t know what is.

So I see that there's not really a set aethetic for ethereal/etherealcore/ethereality, which is upsetting because it's so beautiful to me, so I thought I should go ahead and make it myself

So what's the jist of it, you ask?

Neutral colors

In love with every season but spring and autumn are everything

Flowy / classy attire

Lace, chiffon, fur

Simplicity with faint traces of glamor

Burning candles

Steaming tea/coffee in beautiful teacups or mugs

Roses

Handwritten letters

Faded photography

Reading/writing in a beautiful setting like a garden, an aesthetic coffee shop, the porch on a rainy day

Watching the sunrise (whereas the norm is to watch the sunset)

Any form of art (especially writing and painting)

Pondering on the deeper matters of life

Pleasant breezes

Nature

Warm smiles and voices that sound like home

Calm music

Gentle and eloquent words

All things heart and soul

Pleasant demeanor

Sheer curtains blowing in the wind

Stone architecture

Big libraries

Elegant old world charm

I'll add more as they come to me!

dressmakers, tailors, cosplayers, historical costumers, and generally any people who sew are artists

people who work with fiber (knitting, crocheting, etc.) are artists

embroiderers are artists

weavers are artists

lacemakers are artists

shoemakers are artists

leatherworkers are artists

textile, clothing, and fiber arts are still art forms, even though they’ve historically been devalued in many societies
