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

I started reading the Red Queen series.

I finished the first book and am now reading Glass Sword. I love these books so much already!

I hate Zade Meadows.

One day there will be some historian or history-obsessed person who’s special interest is the 21st century. I HAVE to see those little losers studying this generation 💕💕

Hamilton: I have a list of 30 itemized disagreements.

Burr: That's ridiculous. Why would you do that?

Hamilton: *pulls out pen and starts furiously writing* Questions... my... life... choices...

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.

Happy 4th of July!
