I lied, put your clothes back on. We’re going to talk about how the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” completely goes against the meaning of the book. Oscar Wilde poured his heart and soul into this book to show an accurate representation of internalized homophobia, queer relationships in a time where it was frowned upon greatly, indoctrination, and so many other things of that nature. The fact that the adaptation is going to portray Dorian and Basil as brothers is absolutely disgusting, seeing as they are completely erasing the queer relationship between them. Oscar Wilde would be rolling in his grave if he knew this.

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.

when women’s oppression gets brought up, i can’t stop admiring men’s unwillingness to admit that their “suffering” isn’t caused by women.
“men die at wars😞😠” and guess who’s sending them to wars! and guess who made it so that historically only men can go into the army!
“we aren’t allowed to express our emotions😢” or what? you won’t fit the standard of a strong heroic man? who made that standard?
“women are gold diggers😒why must i pay for you at the restaurant?🤨” who set up the system in which women had no income and were dependant on their husband?
bro. i’ll tell you why your hand is hurting and bruised. that’s because you keep punching women in the face.
A great read on the hotels where Oscar Wilde stayed and inspired others to stay around the globe to this day.

“He is so intelligent and yet so broken. He’s still selfish and vain, and arrogant and proud, but he’s also elegant and amusing, and he’s so full of charisma. That’s why I love playing him, there is an element of delight and joy at being bad.”
Whybourne & Griffin Custom POP figures (Based on the series by Jordan L Hawk): Percival Whybourne, Griffin Flaherty, Dr. Christine Putnam and Iskander Barnett
A few notes: - Whybourne’s Wild Hair is my favorite thing. - That is a tiny fireball in his hand (for obvious reasons) - I chose to put Christine in her “field” outfit rather than a dress because I feel like it fits her personality better - I didn’t have a rifle for Christine, sadly, but I did manage to find a pistol. - I desperately want to make Persephone and Maggie <3
