Dorian Gray - Blog Posts
My favorite thing ever is Dorian going "Women are so emotional" In the very same chapter that he flung himself onto a sofa, collapsed onto a chair, sobbed, and believed himself to be going insane.
Doriririan Gray
Since everyone wants to see the connections between The Portrait of Dorian Gray and Izaya Orihara even though his favourite quote is from Lady Windermere I decided to keep that in mind while reading the book and my conclusions are:
Dorian Gray: Mikado Ryugamine
Basil Hallward: Masaomi Kida
Lord Henry: Izaya (BECAUSE NEITHER OF THEM EVER SHUT UP)
Going into reading The Picture of Dorian Gray I was expecting for Dorian to be this somewhat egotistical self-absorbed jerk simply based on what I absorbed via pop culture osmosis.
And then we get to chapter 2 and he’s just some pretty rich boy who seems like a decent person.
Up until Henry talks to him, I can’t help but feel like its all downhill from this point.
How Dorian Gray and Basil are NOT siblings ❤️🥀💕✨
Do I think Dorian is a piece of shit? Yes, I do
Is he still my precious baby boy who can do no wrong? Also yes
petition to go back in time and have prince hair harry play Dorian Gray in a remake of Dorian Gray
well. if Dorian gray has taught me anything, it’s that the history books completely fail to mention how 1800s Victorian era English people were kinky as fuck
wow I’m not even a full 15 pages into The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and I already ship Dorian x Basil wholeheartedly. I haven’t shipped anyone this fast since Larry Stylinson and Wolfstar
for someone who claims to know an awful lot about greek mythology figures/relates to them, dorian gray sure does not seem to grasp the significance of hubris and its fatal consequences.

With gray walls and a wood fireplace surround, this large transitional open concept family room photo has a medium tone wood floor.
if you read and enjoyed dr jekyll & mr hyde (or the glass scientists), frankenstein, dorian gray, etc—odds are you’ll enjoy a much lesser-known but just as good gothic novel called the private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner.
you can look up a much better summary than i can provide, but it’s an amazing early exploration of religious extremism and the indoctrination of young people, the nature of free will, mental psychoses, and human identity. not to mention the author’s commentary on scotland’s national identity.
it utilizes the gothic doppelgänger trope and explores dual identities in a way that is completely different from jekyll & hyde or dorian gray. our irredeemable main character is a wet dying baby bird found in a mouldy cardboard box at the side of the road with delusions of grandeur and religious trauma. he makes victor frankenstein look downright self-aware in comparison. oh yeah and the devil is there too btw
i’m literally just begging someone to read it it actually changed my brain chemistry
(me gil-martining people into reading this book)
THOUGHTS ON:
,,THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY"
Yeah, that's it.
It's very gay.
And I enjoyed it.
Maybe It would even look slightly aesthetic if it wasn't taken on android
