- dusty stacks of mythology books
- constellation maps on the wall
- battered notebooks, filled with scribbled poetry
- late nights, with a cup of coffee
- a hidden room full of potions
- fading maps and rusty compasses
- old letters, paper fraying at the edges
- broken gold bracelets
- a locket with a faded, monochrome photo inside
- a glinting pair of spectacles
- the urge to run away
- leather backpacks with gold embellishments
- notes written in the margins of old paperbacks
- the smell of an ancient library
- bronze crystal necklaces
- the clacking of an old-fashioned typewriter
- books with tattered leather covers
- mysterious symbols carved into architecture
- graphite smudged on your hands
- imagining a whole other world
- a quill rapidly scribbling on parchment
- the slow ticking of an old grandfather clock
- sextants and astrolabes scattered on a desk
- a messy cartography table
- yellowed scrolls, tied messily with ribbon
- a candle slowly burning down
- ivy league universities
- vintage suspenders, clasped with gold
- discovering ancient city ruins
- wishing someone would tell you the answers
- long drives to an art museum in the city
- toffee plaid cardigans
- running through the dark academy hallways with them
