The Urge To Gatekeep The Picture Of Dorian Gray From Straight People.

The urge to gatekeep The picture of Dorian Gray from straight people.

Basil Death Part 1

Will it be heartbreak or death?

Seems interesting 👁👁

Send a character’s name to receive four different headcanons

Headcanon A:  realistic

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

[The Picture of Dorian Gray] contains much of me in it — Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry, what the world thinks me; Dorian is what I would like to be — in other ages, perhaps.

Oscar Wilde

Okay while it’s still fresh in my head-

So am I just making things up or did Wilde mention a few times in The Picture of Dorian Gray that Dorian had a horse? Because I swear he did. I remember reading about a horse once or twice. Honestly there was a good chunk of the book that I totally forgot and it’s everything that doesn’t have to do with Basil and Dorian being fruity 💅.

Anyway, following the idea that Dorian has a horse, I drew her! (I think a mare was mentioned). As far as I know there wasn’t any name given to the horse so I decided to name her and her name is Mary, after Mary Shelley. I have a Dorian fic where Dorian introduces Basil to Frankenstein, so that’s where the name Mary came from.

I haven’t drawn horses in a while so bear with me as I rekindle my horse drawing skillz. Also I tried to look at Victorian horse tack references and all that shows up is ladies riding side-saddle and their dresses are covering most of the horse 😐. So I just gave Dorian’s horse modern English tack (I made the saddle too big-) I imagine she’s a black English thoroughbred :)
