@jgvfhl how dare you blow my cover like this?

Fun Fact Time:

Oscar Wilde had a lesbian niece

Yea

YEA

Her name was Dolly Wilde. She was the daughter of Oscar Wilde’s older brother, and was born about 3 months after he died. She worked as an ambulance driver during WW1 and spent most of her free time banging rich ladies. And guys. GUYS.

SHE

LOOKS

JUST LIKE

HER UNCLE

They both have That Face.

I’m so, so happy I know this now.

#god i love dolly!#oscar's family had really strong gene tbf ... even when you look at Oscar's grandson ; Merlin Holland #(YES OSCAR'S GRANDSON IS NAMED MERLIN !!!!!! *CRIES IN PERFECTION*)#what was I saying?#oh yeah Merlin still looks like oscar !? like...strong genes #and the dude is really cool as well #fought to get the foul trial published AND uncensored #and like... dude... i love wilde so much help #the whole family!?!?#even oscar's wife Constance was incredible!?!?#she was a pioneer in woman's fashion rights and by that i meam that she fought to protect woman against...chimney #too many woman were suffering burns or even death after their massive dress would catch fire in the foyer #so she raised funds for the survivors and tried to basocally change the fashion of the time to make it safer #then fun fact about why you tagging me in this post is making me stupidly happy but also creeps me out : when i was younger #(and i mean pre-teen young) and living in france and all; my grandma and I would go every wednesday to a charity bookshop #id pick Baudelaire; Balzac; Hugo and all and one day i had to kneel to tie my lace again #from the corner of my eyes i saw a face on the back of a book and said 'oh thats oscar' and my grandma replied 'who'?#so I grabbed the book quite confused and just whispered to myself 'oscar ...wilde' ... read the title ...'the picture of Dorian Gray'#my grandma bought the book for me for 50cents and i read it in one day and it felt like reading ... a memory?!#anyway; i have been litteraly obsessed with Wilde ever since; i own more than 30+ books about him (biographies; essaies; letters yada yada)#and every time; its always as if i ... know this things about him?! and nothing will evrr compare; NOTHING; to the time i went #and visited him at the cemetery (pere lachaise in Paris) ... the peace within my soul; the feeling of being home... incomparable!#now im not saying anything there but i believe that if a soulmate of some kinds ever existed or reincarnation or anything really #my life and I are made to adore Wilde; to share his words and he was; is; and always will be my best friend and my literary lover #and i love him in a way i can not express #oh wow Morrie...way to sound crazy on that one 😂
