"mutuals can ask for discord" mutuals can haunt me after they die. mutuals can paint my immortal youth in a cursed portrait. mutuals can build a 8ft tall creature in my college dorm. mutuals can watch me wake up as a monstrous vermin. mutuals can feed me soup after i commit murder. mutuals can help me kill uncle claudius. mutuals can go out with me and my girlfriend from across the bay. mutuals can hunt the beast with me. do better
My favorite thing ever is Dorian going "Women are so emotional" In the very same chapter that he flung himself onto a sofa, collapsed onto a chair, sobbed, and believed himself to be going insane.
perpetually torn between:
taking classic literature seriously and over analysing every detail so that I can deeply understand themes, motifs and references and absorb every poetic quote into my being OR treating classics as if they were just silly little stories about silly little gay people doing the most weird, unhinged and out of context shit ever (which they are)

You’ll read a classic and it’ll be 3 pages of pure dialogue but it’s just one dude going on and on in paragraphs about one minuscule detail
The more I learn about Oscar Wilde, the more I feel like we would have been besties.
How Dorian Gray and Basil are NOT siblings ❤️🥀💕✨
Guys, Netflix is going to make a modern day adaptation of Dorian Gray and they're making Basil and Dorian brothers
Do I think Dorian is a piece of shit? Yes, I do
Is he still my precious baby boy who can do no wrong? Also yes
This quote still makes me go absolutely feral. Like hellooo?? "The curves of your lips rewrite history" ??????!!!!! AAAAAAAA how do ppl write so beautifully. Screaming crying throwing up

“The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.”

This one was Wilde. My lover and I broke up, the foundation is no more.
petition to go back in time and have prince hair harry play Dorian Gray in a remake of Dorian Gray
well. if Dorian gray has taught me anything, it’s that the history books completely fail to mention how 1800s Victorian era English people were kinky as fuck
wow I’m not even a full 15 pages into The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and I already ship Dorian x Basil wholeheartedly. I haven’t shipped anyone this fast since Larry Stylinson and Wolfstar
for someone who claims to know an awful lot about greek mythology figures/relates to them, dorian gray sure does not seem to grasp the significance of hubris and its fatal consequences.
I just started reading The Picture of Dorian Gray and, may I just say, fuck you Lord Henry.
It’s so inconvenient for me that spring is soon but I have just reentered my dark academia mindset
THOUGHTS ON:
,,THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY"
Yeah, that's it.
It's very gay.
And I enjoyed it.
Maybe It would even look slightly aesthetic if it wasn't taken on android
"you are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know"
~Oscar wilde, the picture of dorian gray
you weren't "born gay". you started reading classic literature when you were 12 and now you are the way you are
"I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us."
