it is so late right now, but i have thoughts.
Okay, so tpodg right? Most of us agree the when it comes down to it Basil’s the better influence right? But he’s still not good, right?
Where Henry treats Dorian like an experiment, like a plaything, Basil treats Dorian like an object of worship, but both at their core are objectifying Dorian. Really, neither are good for for Dorian’s well-being. Because both never see him as a person but instead as means to their own fulfillment.
#That’s it that’s the post#maybe I’ll make an actual analysis essay#Probably not but oh well#Tpodg#the picture of dorian gray#dorian gray#basil hallward#lord henry wotton#i say this as a basil stan and henry tolerant#They are both terrible for Dorian#Also even though I love Dasil and it’s my favorite ship#Henry and Basil is definitely the healthiest and honestly the most preferrable especially for their book versions.#This is also why I greatly dislike Henry/Dorian#No hate if you ship it#it just feels very imbalanced unless Dorian is corrupted and even then he’s idolized henry to the point of worship so uhh#Yeah i do not like that ship at all lmao#Polycule is cute tho#Is this even coherent??? Idk i need to sleep 😓
