hello please we would like some soft dorian gray headcanons with basil

So sorry this is so late!

So, it was legit a meet-cute. Basil and Dorian like, walked into each other on the road, and they both fell, dropping what they were carrying. Basil insisted on making it up to Dorian by buying him some tea. So they went to a little shoppe, and it was adorable and they hit it off right away. Basil blurted his idea to paint Dorian (because no brain to mouth filter, come on, a cute guy is right in from of him).

Dorian loves cuddling with Basil, because Basil is just so warm, and every time, it ends with Dorian fast asleep, half on top half next to Basil.

Dorian really likes poetry and epics and Greek mythology and all that. He had a phase where he tried to write his own poetry (he still does, but it’s a secret now, shhh-).

Loves flowers. Loves them. Has them all over his room and house and everything.

He is an absolute mess-pot. He seems really neat, but really that’s just because everything is shoved haphazardly into drawers. So, really, when he tries to clean Basil’s house, it just ends up looking clean with everything missing in random drawers or cubbies.

The flower language is something that he loves and likes to use. He’ll give people bouquets (especially Basil), which is sometimes him just being passive aggressive (especially when giving Lord Wotton bouquets).

He’s really attached to having long hair. He’ll do all sorts of styles and loves people brushing his hair. (He cut his hair when trying to seem “more in style” and hated it.)

Thank you so much for asking! These two being soft is just too cute and sweet!

I just finished reading Dorian Gray today

And I’ve been overthinking the entire ending since I finished it. I also want there to be a true Dorian Gray adaptation. I’ll write the fucking script, goddammit. For free. I just need a filming crew on my side. I don’t care if it’s a movie or a TV show, just SOMETHING. Like I said, I’ll be the screenwriter for free as long as I get to work at my own pace at home under a pseudonym. I’ll be the pen and paper, you be the ones who get it on the big or little screen.

dorian gray wasn’t even that vain, he was just 20. everyone has a moment in their 20s when they realise they’re actually kinda hot, that’s a part of life and it’s totally Normal. it’s not dorian’s fault that all these sexually repressed men are obsessed with him, nor is it his fault that he’s exclusively attracted to red flags. this is just what happens when you’re in your 20s </3

#his portrait starts to reflect the corruption of his soul? yeah that’s what happens when you turn 23 #it utterly consumes him and destroys everyone’s lives? have you ever been 27? #dorian wasn’t even aware of his own beauty before henry decided to freak him out about it #sure he’s petulant but again: he’s just some 20 year old dude #I think everyone in their 20s should have an ‘I’m hot’ moment #the picture of dorian gray #dorian gray #lord henry wotton #ghost speaks

Sooo I wrote a…weird little thing, a certain comic by @mayhemchicken-artblog got my creative juices percolating and under the press of staying up far too late for several days this came to fruition, enjoy!

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

imagine the picture of dorian gray (1891) but dorian is jude law in wilde (1997) and lord henry is hugh grant in maurice (1987)

#henry is slightly older than dorian so the age gap is accurate just imagine hugh older than he was in maudice #maurice #wilde 1997 #jude law #hugh grant #the picture of dorian gray #oscar wilde #dorian gray #lord henry wotton #aesthetic #cinema #literature #english literature #fancast #film #books #dorian #adaptation #dark academia

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

oscar wilde really spent a whole chapter yapping about perfume and cool rocks and then devoted about three sentences to the murder of one of the central characters, and honestly? i see the vision

never forget dorian gray bought nine copies of a book and "had them bound in different colours so that they might suit his various moods"

the original material girl, i daresay.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is literally 3 toxic gay best friends who have crushes on each other, but they’re all too afraid to outright admit it.
