I love Tumblr because nothing matters here truly. There are no influencers. Having followers doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a site where people post their sporadic thoughts and rb pretty pictures. Anyone who thinks any of this matters is woefully missing the point

Fox is taking a nap while Bail works.

Or at least Bail had thought that Fox had been taking a nap, because he had been very still for a long while, his head resting against Bail's shoulder, but then he suddenly tilts his head.

"...have you pierced your ears?" He asks.

"Is that what you have been staring at this whole time over there?" Bail asks, lowering his datapad. "Instead of sleeping?"

"Didn't exactly mean to", Fox mutters. "I just noticed it and then I had to make sure. Have you?"

"I have", Bail nods. "They were in style in certain parts back home, when I was younger. It was even before I met Breha. A last effort in some sort of rebellion against the norms of my social circles, I guess."

Fox lifts his head off his shoulder, but not for long, as hoists himself up a bit and leans his chin on it instead.

"Haven't seen you wear anything", he says.

"I haven't worn anything in a while", Bail says. "I'm not sure any jewelry goes together with my outfits."

Fox huffs.

"That's garbage and you know it", he scoffs. "I've seen what other Senators wear, and I know for a fact that you have too. If they can wear all of those things, you can wear earrings. Even just small ones. Maybe silver. Those would look nice."

"This is starting to sound like you want me to wear something", Bail says.

"Maybe I do", Fox says. "Like I said, they would look nice. Just a little deviation from your usual look. A little rebellion. Every girl needs to date a scoundrel once in their lives."

"Oh, Breha has had the time to say that to you as well?" Bail rolls his eyes, though he cannot hide his smirk. "I hope that not every man needs to date a scoundrel as well, because I don't think I have ever passed for one at any point during my life."

"I don't know", Fox says. "I'm feeling pretty rebellious for dating you. I think that counts for something."

Bail can see that he is smiling, from the corner of his eye. Fox tilts his head up a bit more, so he can press his lips on the corner of Bail's jaw.

"Seriously, though", Fox says. "Wear something. They would look nice. For me?"

"I'm thinking about it", Bail chuckles. "If you'll take your nap now."

Fox lifts his head up and huffs again, this time right into Bail's ear. Bail knows that he'd done it on purpose.

"This is extortion", he says, as he flops down on the office couch, settling in with his feet dangling over the arm rest, and his head propped up on Bail's lap. "I wouldn't have expected something like that from you, Senator Organa."

Bail laughs.

"Every once in a while, every Senator needs to turn to the dark side", he says. He lifts his datapad back up, and cards the fingers of his free hand through Fox's hair. "Now, the nap."

"So bossy", Fox mumbles, but he does actually close his eyes this time.

It takes maybe a few minutes for him to fall asleep.

Maybe he really should wear something, Bail thinks, as he keeps carding his hand through Fox's hair. As a reward.

So like a year ago, I made a post asking why Dorian confessed to murdering Basil in the 1891 edition of the book, but not the 1890. For the last few months, while working on tlg and the comic, I’ve on and off again worked on a small animatic for the ending of TPODG. Because of this I’ve had to reread the ending conversation with Henry again and again. And a thought occurred to me:

Is Dorian’s ‘desire to be good’ actually an attempt to stop being objectified?

Dorian’s ‘desire to be good’ is obviously horseshit, even to himself, but why does he do it? "To feel something new" is a lazy explanation especially when the book literally says that “[h]e felt a wild longing for the unstained purity of his boyhood”. He doesn’t want something new, he wants what he had before. But it’s not the innocence of his youth, nor something material he desires—it’s the way people treated him before Henry and Basil.

The thing that always stood out to me was this exchange (occuring after Dorian’s confession): 

“There is someone at White’s who wants immensely to know you—young Lord Poole, Bournemouth’s eldest son. He has already copied your neckties, and has begged me to introduce him to you. He is quite delightful and rather reminds me of you.”

“I hope not,” said Dorian with a sad look in his eyes.”

While many modern adaptations either forget this line or give a charitable reading, to me it reads as though Dorian realizes he’s replaceable. Even though he has a magic portrait and eternal youth, he still is a dying relic of a changing world. He will never be anything more than the innocent, youthful doll society and Henry treated him as.

His confession, to Henry of all people, was a final plea to be seen as more than the dumb youth, as an innocent angel—he is begging Henry to look at him and see that Dorian Gray is a person. That he feels more than youth, or beauty, or idolatry. That he is capable of great violence and even greater crime, like any other man and through that can be capable of evolving with the time like any other. He doesn't want to live as a passing fancy of perverts and naive young people.

But Henry breaks all of that in one simple line:

“You and I are what we are, and will be what we will be.”

But, Lord Henry was never going to see Dorian as a real person. Because Henry himself isn’t real. ‘Lord Henry’ is a role he plays, one that consumed him far before the first chapter. In many ways, his cynical philosophy is his own defective portrait. He hides any semblance of a person in his role of ‘cynical hedonist’ and denies any change. He too is a dying relic of a changing world.

When Henry denies his attempt to change, Dorian seeks Basil’s portrait of him. I think it's quite telling that even after he murder him, Dorian seeks implicit comfort from the man who had idolized his rose-white purity. Basil was the only relationship that was closest to what he had before. But the sad truth is laid bare:

No one ever saw Dorian Gray as a real person. 

He was always a role being played. 

And he dies tragically discarded.

i don’t really see canon “the prank” to be “attempted murder” but i find the idea that wally & orion are proud of sirius for almost killing a half blood to be funny(or alternatively disappointed that snape didn’t actually die)

!!!!!!!!!!!

OKAY yeah uhh i have Thoughts on the prank. i dont think it was attempted murder either bc snape is pretty smart and sirius knows that, i think he assumed snape would catch sight of the werewolf and leave bc he got piss scared .

ummm yes so wally and orion right . obv parents get involved (snape's, sirius' & remus') (no one finds out remus is a werewolf though ofc) and sirius gets off scot free (basically scott free) because ykyk Black family and i hc he comes home that christmas (bc angst <3) and walburga's like awe my baby boy's finally coming back to me <333 good job on trying to get rid of that filthy half breed sweetie pie <3333 too reckless but it doesnt matter !! awe whyre you so sad youll get him next time ill help <33333

walburga is clinically insane btw

orion is just dreading seeing more of sirius but he's impressed but hes also a motherfucking DICK so hes just like . ofc you failed . stupid mf.

god i need sirius to punch the fuck out of him.

whateverr basically sirius wallows in the feeling of im just like them ☹️💔 & walburga is ENTHRALLED & orion is mildly impressed

oh and also random regulus thing hes worried bc sirius is Bitchy but hes also a bastard little brother so he just annoys sirius the whole christmas break but it actually works ! because sirius comes back to hogwarts and thinks GOD i hate them all 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Regulus in a modern muggle au would unironically watch Steven Universe (without telling a single soul of it, of course), and you can't make me change my mind about that

I love thirteenrose as a concept (Canon Rose Tyler being sapphic, gay relationship they cant get away with erasing bc its ROSE FUCKING TYLER), but in practice i have a really hard time telling white women apart sometimes and it gets confusing
