another tommy chanse for smosh games WE ARE WINNING AAAAA
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.
Look, the concept of the Giffin and Whybourne-series is pretty nice, gay nerd and gay detective solve mysteries in 1800-something USA, but I’m a few chapters in and Griffin is an abomination of over- embellishment already:
His eyes are, I am not kidding, described as green with flecks of blue and brown in them, added to his ‘tousled, slightly too long hair’, his thick eyelashes and plump lips and his broad shouldered handsomeness, I mean, Jesus.
I know Whybourne canonically really needs a wank, but I’m already exhausted by the embellishments and I’m five chapters in.
I suppose I wasn’t promised it would be good, just gay *shrugs*.
“utterson isn’t homosexual!” well..!
The Fireflies

These are dark days for the LGBT community here in the UK.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If for some reason you’re not prepared to stand up for the sake of trans people, then at the very least do it for your own. Because this Supreme Court decision will have ripple effects on other communities. Because it always does. They never stop at just one group of people. If the rights of one group are questioned, then everyone’s rights can be questioned. Gay. Straight. Black. White. Cis. We’re all vulnerable. Unless you fit a very specific criteria of what “normal” is, they will eventually come for you too. They always do.
It's a shame that Oscar Wilde didn't exist at the same time as Grindr.
The uncensored version of The Picture Of Dorian Gray is so fascinating and I wrote a whole academic paper on it, but it’s also hilarious
Like what do you mean that you skip down the street with your situationship while dirty talking in his ear
I think the british medical association just won the own of the year by calling the supreme court ruling "scientifically illiterate" 👌👌👌😂
