love your little drawings of basil !! If this makes you feel accomplished then just know that they activated my cute aggression, for some reason

ARGGGGHHHHH I LOVE U!!!! IM SO INSECURE ABOUT MY ART SO THIS MAKES ME VERY VERY VERY JOYOUS!!!! THANK U THANK U!!!! AAAAAA THOUGH MY OTHER ART IS QUITE NORMAL NOT JUST SILLY STUFF I MIGHT POST SOME ACTUALLY

THERES OSCAR AND MY OCS HEHEHEBE PLS BE KIND IM NOT VERY GOOD AND I NEED MORE CONFIDENCE

[residentreptile]

THATSA LOTTA BASILS!!!!!

Ever since I got with my wonderful silly partner (@90selderichhorror) I have always been fascinated with how many characters they have based on Dorian! So! Oh buddy oh boy I made some Basils to go along with them! Explanations under the cut <3!

Bangel technically isn't an oc, more of an au, but I consider him a kinsona so it kinda counts? He's more apart of the base lore of podg, simply back from the dead to reenact revenge on Dorian, but unable to because of his devotion to him.

Green hair silly is a Danganronpa oc, Oleander! He's the ultimate futurist, and obsessed with this universes' Dorian (ultimate host), even though they had died years ago in his own killing game. Oleander believes if Dorian had survived, he would go on to create a more gender-neutral fashion industry because of Dorian's modeling career as a child.

Our lovely Basil with the purple hair is a Genshin Impact oc! After some events and this universe's Dorian gaining a vision, he and Basil had gotten into an altercation much similar to the events with the base story. (as I remember. Hence why I'm tagging the bf . Leo u need to help me good lord). Anyways, after those events, Basil is left with a vision of his own and a disfigured face, which he hides behind a tragedy mask, always wearing it, even when he goes to the Traveler to ask where his friend has gone after all these years...

The not so little guy in the corner is a honorary Basil, his name is Lukas! He's another Genshin oc, and simply here because he's the one actually kissing Genshin Dorian. Both it and Genshin Dorian are apart of the Fatui actually! Evil homosex.

The Losing Game

For the art ask thing! :3 ☕✏️🌊🎁 🐻✨ (sorry of it's a lot lmao)

☕ Do you do warmup sketches before drawing? (Bonus: do you have any to share?)

I don't usually but sometimes I'll do thumbnail sketches for bigger illustrations. I did these for the cover of tpodg I did

 ✏️ Do you prefer traditional art or digital to relax?  

It depends on a few factors mainly where I am, if im at home and have a lot of time I adore painting but if I'm on the go I love doing digital art.

 🌊 What’s the hardest thing for you to draw?

Architecture/buildings, I can do a pretty good landscape but ask me to draw a building and I'll die.

 🎁 Do you prefer drawing fandom stuff or your own characters?

I have a bunch or scraggly OCs I adore but if I get hyperfixated on something I will draw them nonstop.

🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort?

I love drawing lil headshots and faces I love them it's so easy

✨ How often do you draw?

If I'm not burnt out I draw nonstop the drawful artist frfr

Incs random writing ideas

With how likely I’ll do em or not

Yanderes from tpodg headcanons

It’s very likely I’ll try do a few characters from the picture of Dorian gray I know I’d be okay at writing.

It’s likely it’ll also have suggestive bits depending on the character. I’ll never do full sexual things for characters though.

Yanderes from dead poets society headcanons

It’s also likely I’ll do a few characters from dead poets society too if I feel like I can write them. Though it might be a while as it’s not a main hyper-fixation currently.

I’ll do nothing suggestive for these characters as most are minors.

Yandere oc headcanons

Just my ocs as yanderes.

indie rp blog for 𝓑𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓵 𝓗𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓭 of the picture of dorian gray fame, following book canon, personal headcanons & AUs of my own devising. utilising ben chaplin from dorian gray (2006) as faceclaim atm, even tho he's a tad old for my basil -- still looking for a good period-looking fc in his late 30s.

a study in losing friends, living through your art, putting people on pedestals and unwittingly causing your own downfall. excited to write with other classic lit muses as well as various fandoms with period setting. modern verse(s) tba.

rules:

1. be kind. you know the drill. 2. i am always extatic to find fellow tpodg / classic lit rpers but i am also not looking to be exclusive with anyone. if there ever were more of the same character to write with, i say the more the merrier .) 3. regarding canon ships: i am a basil/henry truther. i will however also write basil/dorian, and support dorian/henry because i love pain. i still think that if basil & henry had just stuck together, none of the bad things had to happen. (other than that basil hallward is a homosexual man in victorian england. any and all possible ships will have to deal with that somehow.) 4. i made this blog mostly because i am pissed at the recent news abt the oncoming netflix adaptation which allegedly has basil & dorian be siblings. idk what's gonna come out of that but if you wanna shake fists in the air with me at bad tpodg adaptations, please hit me up. 5. this blog is written by kai, i'm 25, artschool graduate & currently trying to find a job. central european, english is my second language. i also write my oc emmanuel @handgiven.

(Forgive me, I am hijacking your post and putting it on the rack)

It’s probably THE most notorious offender of a phenomenon that seems to affect -checks notes- Every Single Major Classic Literature Horror Story Adaptation. 

All of them. Every one.

Frankenstein adaptations throw Henry and Victor’s thing out a window and heap on the lady love interests to remind everyone that lady love is happening, look at the damsel, look! (Yes, this even includes personal favorite Universal OC, the Bride--who herself is portrayed in all ensuing merch as being the Creature’s ~willing lover~ when her 0.5 seconds of life involve her hissing in hate at him...and probably at her meta situation of being invented by men to appease a predestined male mate in fucked up Eve style, but that’s its own rant.)

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde adaptations obliterate the actual main character, Gabriel Utterson, out of existence, and any early suppositions of the ‘relationship’ between Jekyll and Hyde are tossed in favor of Hulk fantasies and lady-chasing.

The Invisible Man involves exactly two female characters--two of many comic relief cast members--with no real connection to Griffin Invisibleman, the latter spending the story alternately running around naked, having (male) strangers comment on his muscular chest, and wrestling with a former male classmate in his bed before an ultimate climax in which said man (Griffin’s most recent target) is the only voice to speak up and demand the mob back away before they kill Griffin, albeit too late. He’s turned into a dithering coward who’s killed off while a new damsel is introduced to be Griffin’s love interest. An especial thorn in the story’s side, as it’s a short story arguably devoid of any romantic interest between anyone, period. Any hint that Griffin might not be straight--read: mlm or aroace or anything in-between--has to be erased.

The Picture of Dorian Gray adaptations--TPoDG being the same novel used against Oscar Wilde when accusing him of the crime of icky evil man love--has a chronic case of Casanova-ing Dorian ‘no no really me and Wotton and Basil are super hetero bros it’s cool honest’ Gray into ladykiller oblivion. 

And then there’s Dracula.

Oh, Dracula.

Perhaps the single most aggressively ‘no homo!!!’-ed piece of literature in the history of retellings. Jonathan Harker does indeed endure two full months of nightmare bisexual time with the Count and the Brides, a canon occurrence responsible for 

1) Setting him up as one of the major protagonists and the recorder of the inciting actions for the entire fucking book, 

2) providing one of THE tightest and most dread-inducing gothic horror excerpts in literature, 

3) framing Jonathan as the only character in the entire cast who gets to hold long, repeated, psychological minefield conversations with the Count, period, 

4) framing Jonathan as the only target of the Count who the latter purposefully keeps near him for Two Months for a full Bluebeard/Beauty and the Beast-style intimacy while his other victims get the equivalent of a few hickeys before being ditched

5) foreshadowing the climax of the novel in which the killing blow is delivered with the pure perfect catharsis of the unexpected hero VS the abusive conquering villain.

And that’s not even getting into the el gee bee tee goings-on in the unofficial prequel of “Dracula’s Guest” featuring proto-Jonathan and Big Bad Wolf Dracula.

All of this being universally, immediately, constantly, ears-plugged, eyes-covered, ‘We Refuse to Acknowledge the Queer Dreams’ thrown into a burning trash compactor by every single director and writer in the past 126 years who either work directly from shitty Coppola wiki pages or outright ignore the novel’s blatant text, supposing they even bothered to skim it. 

Jonathan and his whole situation is too much of a threat, so he’s either turned into a stuffy Victorian wimp, a cheater, a divorcee, or a corpse to get him out of the way so they can make Count Fuckula fanfiction #25635 in which Dracula manfully sexily liberates Mina who is really sooo super into him as long as we ignore the book entirely.

And god damn but it is frustrating.

ngl it's certainly something that Jonathan Harker is Dracula's chew toy for months, with Jonathan narrating everything he can remember or allow himself admit experiencing in this "sea of wonders" while being the Count's said plaything, but every single book or comic cover or movie poster or series promo is Dracula menacing Half-Naked Girl

[czolgosz]

had some fun with this picrew yay ^_^ they are both published characters (my versions.) and ocs

btw the wings are not "canon" so to speak to any of their designs those are just there for fun ❤️

[starslung]

grad school really do be nuts, in my oscar wilde class today i basically argued during a discussion that lord henry took dorian’s virginity and my professor was like that’s a great point

[fox-guardian]

I'm really really gay for your version of Basil Hallward and Dorian Gray 💕 Also, love your OCs, especially Dez

~Lads~

also

He loves you too. ❤❤

[dyrwoodan]

There was something in the clear, pine-scented air of that winter morning that seemed to bring him back his joyousness and his ardour for life.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

[justastrugglinghotchocolate]

Doodles from when i was stuck in my library

These are messier than I usually like but I don’t have the time to ink them :(

@doriansdismay hope your research goes well!

@klqrambles you made me realize that i only ever draw Henry when he’s harassed by Hamlet or Roland, lol.

Here’s some Basil being soft with the other tlg characters, because I am not immune to the pain i cause through my fic, lol.

Okay time to work on that interlude, thanks for humoring me yesterday!

[klqrambles]

L, O, P, R? 👉👈

L: say something nice about a character you don’t particularly like

Jacque in the Korean Frankenstein musical can kiss my ass but he also has the most exquisite energy. Prancing around on stage committing warcrimes is the best energy

O: choose a song at random. What ship or character does this remind you of?

I got Something Just Like This covered by Caleb Hyles. Ok so this I have because of a specific side oc ship of mine, but in terms of blorbos I’d say it’s probably a dasil song or a basil/henry song depending on my mood

P: invent an au at random

Musical theater tPoDG au just so I can have Henry and Dorian be the main couple in Bare the musical (I’ve been watching a lot of clips from that one lol)

R: what kind of friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom

Distinctly platonic mutual codependence. They can’t live without one another in a platonic way. This is my canon Basil/Henry relationship lol

[twooboomoomoo]

🥇, 🎄, and❓for Ambrose!

Thank you!! (Ambrose's f/o is Dorian so I'll answer for him!!)

🥇What would you say is your f/o´s biggest talent?:

Aside from being England's biggest whore??? His singing!! I don't think he'd do it often, of at least not as much as he used to, but he has a really good voice!! He sings most when he cleans, and when he thinks he's alone (tho Ambrose will purposely sneak around the house just to hear him).

🎄What´s your f/o´s favorite holiday? Also, what´s yours?:

Mine (and Ambrose's) fav holiday is Halloween!!! It's just a fun holiday overall (and with Ambrose being a vampire they especially like it!!) Idk what Dorians would be tbh. He enjoys Halloween just to see Ambrose go ham on decorations.

❓Say whatever you want about your f/o. Gush about them, share a fun fact, whatever you feel like at the moment.:

Dorian has become my oc. Straight up stole him from his source material. I mean all of the characters in Ruby Rogue are just me stealing public domain characters and making them my bastardized bastards. Also fun fact, I own 9 copies of TPODG!! (It's ironically my fav classic lit book... It's so fun to poke fun of.)
