the picture of dorian gray but everytime a character gets called anything along the lines of "good boy", it gets faster

we’re exposing oscar for this i see

#the end of the film is just a blur #for too long has mr wilde got away with dorian being called a good boy ATLEAST nine times #the picture of dorian gray #oscar wilde

dorian gray adaption where it’s the exact same but david bowie is in the background of every scene. dorian kills basil and david just steps over the body and says “yikes” and it’s his only line

the only valid dorian gray adaptation pitch ive ever heard, everyone else can go home now.

by any chance are you familiar with the 1998 cult classic film, velvet goldmine??

The urge to gatekeep The picture of Dorian Gray from straight people.

#I didn't know I had it but one of my irl acquaintances posted a tiktok about how it's literally life-changing or smth #and I immediately felt a rush of rebellion at that out of nowhere???#like I was immediately convinced she was enjoying it wrong or something. I have some issues #to be fair none of the philosophical monologues seemed to interest her judging by what she said. but I only found out that AFTERWARDS #the picture of dorian gray #oscar wilde #gothic lit #gothic literature #personal

All my teenage years, I had bottled up anger and grief and promised myself I'd never cry but when I sat down with her hands in my hand and looked her in the eye, all the anger turned into tears. I sobbed for hours and she sat there, rubbing my back. That's when I saw. Growing up is also tearing down walls, it's also letting go of the anger.

-Ritika Jyala, excerpt from The Flesh I Burned
