Status Updates From The Uncensored Picture of D...

“He is all my art to me now” Basil quotes are hitting hard this afternoon

Overdue as of today aghhh I'm going to try and finish this weekend! I do not want to introduce bad karma into my life through this book

Well that escalated?? Suddenly we’re murdering people

Ok fine yap about the color of different gemstones for 10 pages idc at this point

eu amo o tom dramático desse livro (meu gênero favorito) e como acontece o exato diálogo entre o dorian e o lord henry que é responsável por mudar todo o curso mental dele, como ele não se percebia em relação à própria juventude e beleza, também pra mostrar a linha tênue da ingenuidade que ele tinha e a crueldade que o possuiu. e odeio a falsa filosofia e o personagem prepotente que o lorde henry é.

“It often seems to me that art conceals the artist far more completely than it ever reveals him.”

Feel really bad for Oscar Wilde 😿

"Su mujer" Khé 💀💀💀

“ I quite admit that I adored you madly, extravagantly, absurdly. “

Ugh just twist the knife why don’t you

En octubre-diciembre 2024, cuando me leí casi todo lo de Wilde (pq es el mejor), leí la versión censurada y me gustó y digo, va, voy a leer la versión sin censura. ¿Os podéis creer que solo existe *1* edición publicada en España y no es relativamente fácil de encontrar? Mmmm... Por un lado lo entiendo pero por otro... ya solo leyendo los cambios del cap. 1 es como... por favor, Españita, por favor.

Everyone is gay and everyone is sad

Nvm I'm back...for now

I'm afraid the book is losing me 💔

Never trust pretty men 😔 RIP First love of Dorian gray, you were a great 10-20 pages or so 💔

“Nowadays people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.”

Every single time I read the picture of Dorian Gray chapter 9 is both my favourite and my least favourite, it’s such a break in the pacing and flow of the book, but there is something so great in tying corruption and beauty together in this way

90 pages left let's gooo😛😛

"Like a good boy" WHAT

yeah im not finishing this today 😹💗

"every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."

Basil my beloved.

fml

Idk why Oscar Wilde was surprised when everyone went “GAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!” When this book is just twinks yearning for each other

Mister gay panic and his supportive friend

Phew finished the boring intros

Lord Henry evil as fuck

if you told me that i would read a 30 page introduction about the late 1800s i would've said you're kidding yourself but this historian is actually so good & the drama is so juicy

oscar wilde u crazy bitch

yeah i started this yesterday what about it

They’re going to try to make Basil a hetero in the live action remake?! My god.

What the fuck
