the kids in my class who use gen ai for half their assignments are not gonna appreciate me when i show up to our Dorian Gray discussion, going on a tangent about how art is more than just the end product and consuming it. It’s about the artist molding it with their hands. It’s the artist putting in so much of their blood sweat and tears that they leave their soul bare to the world. That they fear their art will drag forth a confession from them that they never meant to share. That their art will mirror and incriminate them for the sins committed by their heart.
Reading the Picture of Dorian Grey and Basil, buddy... the closet is glass
“Imagine you were a girl, forced to live in a male body? And if you tried to change your body, a lot of powerful people would get really mad about it, and actively try to stop you? Wouldn’t that be fucked up? Wouldn’t that suck? Hi I’m Rod Sterling. Tonight we’ll experience the existential horror of:
tomgreg & the picture of dorian gray.
Maybe "The Picture of Dorian Gray" 2009 wasn't so good (because some parts of the editing were dizzying and the ending, with all that about Henry and his daughter, was pretty meh) BUT we have gay sex scenes and two kisses between Basil and Dorian. And I believe that is what Sir Oscar Wilde would have wanted.
"Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to some one who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day."

there will never be enough henriel/hydeseek fluff for me. I am greedy and gluttonous and cannot be satiated.
basil cries intimately during his first time with dorian
(obv at this time dorian doesnt have a crush it’s more a one night with my friend thing) (cries)
but the moment is so amazing to basil, he doesn’t even think it’s real and so he does every wicked and despicable nasty and gnarly thing to dorian and dorian was like.. vanilla before this
so dorian is all flustered and didn’t think basil had it in him NEITHER DID DORIAN THINK IT WAS IN HIMSELF but now dorian has a fat crush and thinks about it every day
imma vocal stim the fuck out of this
