Dorian Only Thinks His Portrait Is Beautiful Because He Sees It As A Depiction Of His Fleeting Youth

dorian only thinks his portrait is beautiful because he sees it as a depiction of his fleeting youth and identity, but the truth is the portrait is actually a reflection of basil, the artist, who put too much of himself in it. it’s not dorian who is beautiful, but rather basil’s pure love for him, which in turn is a reflection of basil’s soul and true nature. by loving dorian, and embracing his love through art without shame, basil has created the most precious thing, even if it is fleeting. much like romance, all art is quite useless, but it touches the human spirit nonetheless, and that’s important

My favorite fact about Lord Byron is that when he went to college, they didn’t allow him to have a dog. So of course, he decided to bring a fucking bear. Because why not?

Reminder that Oscar Wilde r@ped two 16-17 year old boys and when asked if he kissed one (Walter) he said the boy was ugly and that he pitied him for it 😕

I believe Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie) r@ped at least one of the boys (?) as well.

So as influential and iconic Oscar Wilde and his stories were, he was a horrible person and deserved to go to prison. He just went for the wrong reason.
