Ben Barnes' Dorian Gray went from "eek funny fancy party yay" to "I'm going to fuck the entire high society of London and I'm going to feel good about it afterwards".

he’s a 10 but one of his paintings keeps getting uglier and more horrific with each passing day

The Eye of the Beholder

#my art #reincarnation #comics #tpodg #the picture of dorian gray #basil hallward #(why did he reincarnate as a girl with Dorian’s face? #cuz that was how the mad idea came to me at 2am #plus it’s easier to hide the ‘birthmarks’ with long flowing locks #my brain is weird ) #lord henry wotton #dorian gray #gothic literature #really the thought I had here was basically #man it would be so messed up to be haunting the body of the person who murdered you #especially if you loved them #and I think Basil deserves both a second chance and to get to be actually upset about that betrayal #even if as Rosemary she can’t really remember it #but also this is gothic fiction nobody just gets handed a happy ending you gotta work through stuff #sorry hon #tw body dysmorphia #tw stab wound #Rosemary is for Remembrance

dorian only thinks his portrait is beautiful because he sees it as a depiction of his fleeting youth and identity, but the truth is the portrait is actually a reflection of basil, the artist, who put too much of himself in it. it’s not dorian who is beautiful, but rather basil’s pure love for him, which in turn is a reflection of basil’s soul and true nature. by loving dorian, and embracing his love through art without shame, basil has created the most precious thing, even if it is fleeting. much like romance, all art is quite useless, but it touches the human spirit nonetheless, and that’s important

#I’m reading the picture of dorian gray to pass the time and I’m feeling all my emotions omg this book is really good #and beautifully written ?? would definitely recommend #also this is the most blatant gay metaphor I’ve ever seen oscar wilde was crazy for this #but he was soso right basil is beautiful !! *bursts into tears* #the picture of dorian gray #dorian gray #basil hallward #ghost speaks

Start reading Episode 1

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Dorian: You caught me by surprise, Godalming. I was starting to think that you would never host an event. What’s the occasion?

Panel 2

Arthur: Just a send off for a good friend leaving for his homeland. Now…

Panel 3

Arthur: …To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Hallward and yourself?

Panel 4

Dorian: I wasn’t about to miss a Godalming party, of course! But I also wanted to say you’re welcome for my help in apprehending the Invisible Man. ♡

Panel 5

Dorian (offscreen): Don’t try to deny it, that puppy face of yours can’t hide a thing. Interesting friends you’ve got, Godalming. I didn’t know you had it in you; it’s most fascinating.

Panel 6

Dorian: As interesting as certain happenings at a secluded park up north.

Panel 7

Arthur: What are you getting at, Gray?

Dorian: You see, I, too, am rather interested in such strange cases…for personal reasons.

Panel 8

Dorian: And you lot seem to be most adept at attracting them…but you need my help for that, don’t you?

Arthur: If you wish to be part of this, Mr. Gray, you should be asking Mrs. Harker and Mrs. Norton, not myself.

Panel 9

Dorian: What do you mean—they are in charge of this?!

Panel 10

Arthur: Not as all-knowing as you boast, are you?

i need a friend group that consists of the narcissistic blond twink who sold his soul via a painting of himself, a miserable gay artist (dead) who is in love with said blond twink, and a corrupting nobleman who didn't get the memo that it's okay to shut the fuck up sometimes
