“You are gay because you like men, I am gay because I hate women. We are not the same.”

-Lord Henry to Basil, at some point probably

[yallemagne]

Harry: "I choose my friends on hotness, acquaintances on personality, and enemies on smarts."

Basil: "Then I'm your acquaintance?"

Harry: "Nah..."

Basil: "Well, I'm not a friend. A brother?"

Harry: "Only if I wanted you to go die. No, you fit your own category of people that I can stand to be around. People I like."

Basil: "Oh? What is that?"

Harry: "Unattractive, decent personality, not intellectual enough to meet my level. I call it 'Basil Hallward'."

Basil: "... You know what? Coming from you, I am flattered. You're very discerning, and if you enjoy my company, that must say something about our relationship."

Harry: "See? Hotter or smarter people would be disagreeable with my analysis! You have a fine mix."

Basil: "Aaand it's gone. You've ruined it."

Harry: "Good. Never tell anyone I complimented you."

Basil Hallward x Henry Wotton scenario set in the beginning of their (love-hate) relationship: 🖌💕🖼 (also it's way too angsty for my taste 😆)

Henry Wotton, grabbing a glass from the table in Basil's studio: A crack in the mirror, an imperfection in the smoothness of beauty. What a shame! For beauty is the only thing worth living for, and because this artist's work has been damaged, he shall have no example of perfection to be remembered by, and only his certainly hideous face to mirror his internal misery. In this speech I will-

Basil Hallward, sitting opposite him with a brush in his hand: ... Would you close your mouth, Harry? I'm working on your lips.

Henry: -And all this time these artists believe themselves so highly above beauty-

Basil: Do you want me to paint you with the "yellow of utter artistic incompetence" that you bewailed looked completely wrong on you?

Henry: -that they forget - no, I do not - that creating beauty doesn't make them beautiful, but sometimes even uglier.

Basil: Now you're getting your expression all "ugly".

Henry: Which is something constantly ugly people tend to say to make themselves feel better.

Basil: H-... Well, know that I'm saddened. Lady Wallington said I was ugly just this morning. There must be some truth to it...😞

Henry: And it his her fair right to say this - in the hell she deserves, what an awful witch! I think you're handsome, my dear Basil. Perhaps not in the most universal form, yet beauty has an undeniable truth about it, which I can't deny when I look at you.

Basil, wiping his tears away and smearing paint onto his face in the process: Are you sure you mean this, Harry?

Henry: Absolutely.

Henry: ...Even in this catastrophic state.

Henry: *looks at Basil's face and smiles* Just don't ask me why.

(Source : Me, but like I didn't have this conversation with someone 😂😆)
