Status Updates From The Uncensored Picture of D...

o romeo o romeo hehe

Never did I think that I would love a classic as much as I have loved this one

Whole lotta yapping in ch. 9 but Dorian Gray is nothing if not pretentious

“Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.”

After chapter 1, I was wondering why the theme of bringing art to life felt familiar and then I realized it reminded me of Bunny. I’m wondering if Mona Awad drew inspiration for Bunny from Dorian Gray

“One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.”

“Besides, nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.”

“I can’t bear the idea of my soul being hideous.”

Now it’s getting interesting

“Just turn your head a little more to the right, Dorian, like a good boy,” 🤭

i wanna be loved like picture of dorian gray

This is starting to feel like the song of Achilles all over again WHEEEEEEWWWWW *starts crying*

i’m slowing down oops! i’ve been really tired the past few night and busy also so i haven’t had as much time in the evenings to read. probably also cause i read it not long ago so i know the story

THIS IS SO MUCH GAYER THAN THE EDITED EDITION ?!? 😭

THIS IS SO MUCH GAYER THAN THE UNCENSORED HELLO??

Quero muito saber o que Gray escreveu naquele papel...

Capítulo 9 foi cansativo ngl...

Still not in the details

good - quite similar to the original i must say, though there’s clearly more obvious romance from basil to dorian

The character of Henry seems to say really interesting and philosophically intriguing stuff at the beginning but then he started spouting misogynistic shit and now I’ve lost all respects 😂
Also the book is gay af how did this go past the censors

Chismecito,y reflexiones sencillas pero supongo que complejas para su tiempo,ya quiero ver cómo cae al "lado oscuro" son bien curiosillos el Dorian y Henry,luego está el gae de su otro novio ,interesante pue

good - i did read it not very long ago and so far not much is that different so we shall see!

i’m noticing things i missed on the first read - i don’t know if that’s cause i missed them or cause they were taken out of the end copy

the way I still have 2 more introductions to read before getting to the actual novel

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.

To influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of some one else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.

good! i just finished the introduction. the general introduction was very interesting but i must say the textual introduction was boring cause it was more about syntax and non-artistic elements, more pragmatics

what the fuck Oscar Wilde just broke into my house, shot me in the face, and called me the f-slur
what the fuck
this is TOO popped.
this is bullying.
this is violence.
I know this was written in like 1890 but this is active violence against me now rn in 2024.
this is a hate crime.
I can't believe this.
I need to sue Oscar Wilde for writing this book about me and not paying me royalties for each copy sold. fucked up!!

wasn’t going to read the contextual info and introductions but it would’ve felt i completed if i didn’t. it’s quite interesting all the info about oscar wilde and his persecution etc etc

i want to fuck everyone in this book
