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.

I feel like y’all are not understanding the role of incest in gothic media like crimson peak
I keep seeing stuff like oh Lucille was just evil and abusive and Thomas is a poor little meow meow
They BOTH were horribly abused and isolated which led to the horror of the film, their incestuous relationship and murdering
Like the only reason Thomas even grew and changed was because he experienced a healthy love through Edith for the first time
She never got that and her obsession with him (which is super tied to her idea of safety and love and her FEAR) ultimately led to both of their deaths but this is a direct result the abuse she experienced
It's really not surprising that @netflix is losing a LOT of money this week. Within the span of just a couple of weeks, they:
Ended one of their most beloved shows (TUA) in what was literally one of the worst conclusions ever written
Announced a homophobic version of Dorian Gray where Basil and Dorian were brothers
Canceled a critically acclaimed new show (DBDA) after one season despite its large, dedicated fanbase after failing to market that show
Implemented ads on Netflix plans that did not previously have them, essentially serving as a price increase for a lot of people
This is a genuinely insane metric to see, especially for a company as large as @netflix. Honestly, it's super embarrassing, but a natural product of their recent behaviour.
Oscar Wilde's overuse of cried had me like "why are these guys crying so much they cry more than me". I just imagined everyone bursting into uncontrollable tears every second.
