How the Daisy-coming-to-tea scene should’ve gone

Basil Death Part 1

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.

Headcanon time :D

So Basil is a big simp and he likes doing things for Dorian (his love language is acts of service 💅). Sometimes that means buying him flowers while it’s pouring rain outside and delivering them to his house. He buys Dorian flowers at least once or three times a week (depends on his money flow) and switches up what kinds of flowers he buys based on the weather (haha), Dorian’s mood, and his own mood. But all of the flowers he buys are always Dorian’s favorites…and Dorian has tons of favorites. Basil dances right on the lower class line and his money dwindles every now and then. He doesn’t make enough money from commissions to support himself, an art studio, and the rent for his crappy apartment that he’s renting from some people he knows. Dorian, someone who has money and who knows how to finance it better, always tries to help Basil with increasing his prices, evenly spacing out his money for things, and he even tries to convince Basil to let him financially support him (or even move in), the whole shabang. Basil doesn’t accept that help because he’s Mr. “I’ll do it by myself.” Basil’s stubbornness and extreme independence definitely frustrates Dorian from time to time, but he understands why Basil is that way. Basil’s always had to make it on his own even from his early days; it’s all he knows, and he just likes doing things himself. He feels that it’s more fulfilling. But, he definitely does not ration his money correctly. No, he doesn’t spend it all on random stuff or all in one place. He just spends too much of it on his studio and uses whatever’s left to sustain himself and pay rent…and it’s usually never enough for both. Dorian and Lord Henry have tried lending him money. He refuses both. I could go deeper into why Basil’s the way he is but that’s for another time. But all I’ll say is that Dorian just loves him a lot and wants the best for him, and doesn’t want him catching a cold from running around in the rain 🫢. He appreciates Basil’s independence, but he wants Basil to know that it’s okay to ask for help sometimes or to loan money…and that he doesn’t have to buy Dorian flowers every single week (even though Dorian does love the flowers and little notes Basil writes him) 😌. They’re both learning together :)
