Utterson: I Incline To Cain’s Heresy; I Let My Brother Go To The Devil In His Own Way.

with each page of dorian gray I read i grow more baffled at the nerve to make them brothers in that mockery of an adaptation. my jaw grows slack at half the things this freak (basil) says about dorianby MODERN STANDARDS quote, "i quite admit i adored you madly, extravagantly, aburdely. i was jealous of every one to whom you spoke. i wanted to have you all to myself." i can only assume anyone involved in the decision to make the two brothers engaged in some form of incest

Will I ever get over this? Nope

"that ship isn't canon! that character isn't gay!" well thats not what the voices told me

giggling at chanse having to put the water carafe down

The way Jekyll was so attached to that fucking cane that he even used it as Hyde.

this is how he felt after making Dorian murder Basil, trust me guys

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

Dorian gray

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.
