what she says: I’m fine
what she means: why is Dorian Gray never played by people with blond hair? why is Dorian always depicted as all pale and dark? oscar literally describes his hair as gold like two seconds after we meet him. directors apparently feel like they have to make Dorian look dark dangerous and brooding, but he’s not supposed to look dark and dangerous and brooding. That’s the whole point. No one ever suspects him because he looks like an innocent little cherub with golden curls and rosy cheeks. His physical appearance is described with terms that Western literary tradition, during the nineteenth century in particular, associated with goodness and godliness, and this is intentionally juxtaposed with the blackness of his soul. If you intentionally play him as someone who looks like a Byronic hero, much of the symbolism of his character is lost, right?
oscar wilde was literally the coolest guy who ever lived
master of sass
HE WAS BISEXUAL. We get to claim the sass master.
NO YOU REALLY JUST Oscar Wilde lived in the VICTORIAN ERA He was a really controversial guy. He hated his society. He also went to jail and destroyed his career because he was in a gay relationship with a Lord. He was a badass. To be honest
His last words were “either the wall paper goes or I do”
Oscar Wilde IS Lestat
#TRUTH
Friendly reminder that Oscar Wilde changed his name to Sebastian Melmoth when he went into exile and that is one of Lestat’s aliases (extract from the Tale of the Body Thief, page 81)
Oh god
YOU KIDDING! O_O Lestat you clever bastard! 😀
::whispers:: it got better
Forgot to mention it was the name Wilde adopted after his exile for homosexuality (extract from The Vampire Companion, page 266)
