In questa stupida e noiosa epoca la cosa più eccentrica che si può fare è avere un cervello.

honestly. may get cooked for this but i don't really understand how can someone say you're accusing wilde with pure speculation without evidence and negativising the context because he gives "weird vibes" when the plot of dorian gray is literally two of wilde's self inserts grooming a teenager. anon you see this too right
FR 😭 Like… no harm but just read the book. The plot of the book is young boys being hot. Genuinely. Not in a way where it interrogates culture’s association of youth with beauty from the perspective of someone younger, not in a way where the characters are all diverse and real and interesting, it is, like you said, literally just Wilde’s two self inserts grooming a wee boy. With a healthy dose of antisemitism sprinkled in there for good measure

I'm not finished with Dorian Gray yet, but boy, i might have given a step longer than my leg when i said i would write an Ineffable Husbands AU
Don't get me wrong, I will, but, as I am reading, I'm trying to come up with a plot and my brain is only delivering snippets of a possible plot. I will have to change a lot of the original plot if I want the characters to, well, stay in character and the romance between Aziraphale and Crowley to happen
I'll do it, mind you. It will just take a bit extra of leg work

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

I don't believe I'm gonna say this, but I've hit a boring part in the Dorian Gray book and it's being hard to move on from it
Aziraphale, I'm getting disappointed
