“To Live Is The Rarest Thing In The World. Most People Exist, That Is All.”

me creating scenes in my head about my gf at 3 am

it’s pouring down outside rn … oh how i wish that i was cuddled up with a butch as we watch the rain pour down their window. listening to the sounds of thunder making us move closer to each other under the comfort of the blankets. laying my head on their chest with their arms snug around me. (p.s, i’m too shy to post anything nsfw rn so i’ll end it here AGHFH)

The Picture of Dorian Gray Ships💋🎨🖼

So my favourite ship from the books is Henry Wotton x Basil Hallward. It would contain so much hope for love beyond one's wishes: Henry, who sees good artists as unable to be beautiful themselves, and who sees beauty as the most valuable good. Basil who, well, is a good artist and detests bad morals, which Henry has plenty of.

Yet Basil also notices that Henry doesn't really act upon his voiced sinful wishes, and so it wouldn't be completely improbable that Henry should love someone he doesn't find beautiful - or shouldn't according to his theory.

Also, the irony there would be if they expressed their love for each other 😍😄: Henry, who voices morally concerning thoughts at every given opportunity to speak, but never actually follows through with his hedonistic (and morally/legally wrong) desires - except in the one case which makes him disprove one of his most classic ideas: that visual beauty of people is far superior to their wit or morals.

Also, isn't it ironic that Oscar Wilde actually wrote a character as gay in a time where this was far more dangerous than today - but today I just look at it and I'm like: "Ok, but he would totally be gay for this *other* guy!"

I just wanted to put this out there to see who shares this ship or what your thoughts are on these characters' relationship.

trans women, i love you.

you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.

trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.

im gonna cry stop

missing them hours

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

damien quoting angela in his insta caption... my loves 😭😭😭

It's a shame that Oscar Wilde didn't exist at the same time as Grindr.

I adore the moment in a book when Character A changes what name they use for Character B. When they go from using a last name to a first, a pseudonym to a real name, a formal name to an informal one. I love how much it speaks to the level of intimacy one character feels towards another, how you can take note of the moment things change between them, how it almost divides the book into two parts. It's like catnip to me.

Dorian sat down and let the long, gossamer dressing gown fall from his shoulders, revealing a lithe, youthful body, accentuated by a lacy chemise and bloomers, with a corset that clung to his narrow waist.

Basil felt the vines tighten around his lungs even as his heart hammered at the sight. The perfect, boyish face framed by Grecian curls, the white lace chemise tight against his flat chest, pulled even closer by the corset. Innocence and devilry intertwined in the boy who meant so much to him that he could never speak its name. Basil choked on the unspoken words and into his handkerchief fell a pair of blood red rose petals.
