Dorian Gray - Tumblr Posts

hellooo, here’s my mandatory yearly halloween fic with all of our favourite goth little blorbos having fun! enjoy!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Frankenstein - Mary Shelley Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Henry Clerval/Victor Frankenstein Characters: Victor Frankenstein, Henry Clerval, Lucy Westenra (Dracula), Tom Griffin (The Invisible Man), Elizabeth Lavenza, Justine Moritz, Mina Murray Harker, Dorian Gray, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow), Edward Hyde Additional Tags: Halloween, Halloween Costumes, halloween party, Ghost Hunters, Ghosts, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Creepy Fluff, Established Relationship, Alcohol, Recreational Drug Use, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, kissing in haunted places, victor is a coward, yes i'm obsessed with ryan and shane no need to call me out, no beta we die like every character here

Summary: Henry likes ghost hunting programs. Victor does not. Henry doesn't care if ghosts are real or not (he'll know when he's dead). Victor very much believes they are not. At all. So much so he's willing to go out on Halloween night to investigate a supposedly haunted asylum with all of the little ghoulish gadgets just to show Henry it's all bullshit.

Victor is stubborn. Henry is smart. Therefore, Henry only agrees to let himself be dragged into this if he can in turn drag Victor to the biggest Halloween party of the year afterwards.

Aberrations and monstrosities ensue!

i long to see Mike Faist play the role of Dorian Gray . I saw him for the first time in his role as Art in the movie ‘challengers’ and immediately thought “holy shit that’s literally Dorian Gray”

MPDG stands for manic pixie dorian gray

People: get stuck on The Picture of Dorian Gray chapter 11 because it's too slow-paced/too much theory/too much description/too hard to read/not really interesting to them

Me: gets stuck on The Picture of Dorian Gray chapter 11 because I gotta look up every word I don't understand which subsequently leads to a further research as the word brings me to one curious topic after another and/or the thoughts in the text send me rolling ass over teakettle into a myriad of connections that open into enlightenments and realisations which I gotta contemplate and write down and process, and the chapter is full of those, and so I read a half a paragraph and for the next hour+ go down the rabbit hole, you see my problem

effective revision for A-Level English Lit, ladies and gentlemen.

One of my favorite photos is from a photo trap in Java: The young leopard had walked every day to the photo trap, had positioned itself briefly before it. Because it acted so often, the leopard got there the name “Dorian Gray”. In my office I use this picture as screensaver - it looks very nice and I always have a smile on my face :-))

an ending scene from The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde 🪞

C.ai being down means I have to retreat to my origin of reading fanfics instead of making my own little plot 😭

IT WAS GETTING GOOD TOO I WAS HAVING A LOVELY CHAT WITH DORIAN GRAY!!

Straight friend groups be like ‘the sporty one’ ‘the pretty one’ ‘someone’s crush’ ‘the mean girl’ ‘the tall one’ ‘frat boy’

Gay friend groups be like ‘twink who still looks 20 after all these years, the rumors surrounding him would make Satan blush’ ‘painter filled with longing so severe its ruining his life’ and ‘the worst influence you’ve ever met’

red wine drips from lips

like blood and

god knows it’ll never

be enough and

each hit burns like

it’s the first

you think you just might

die of thirst and

dorian, you’re gonna die

but pretty darling,

so am I

so you and I,

we’ll go down together

you’ll destroy yourself

and I’ll haunt you forever

nothing left to say but

beauty does not stay and

paint it fades and dries and

time it always flies

I know Im very late, but I loved this date sm and wanted to commemorate you two <3 good luck on the date w Utterson!

Please keep in mind that English is not my native language thank you 💛

P.1/? let me know if you want more

He was utterly beautiful, the kind that takes your breath away and makes you hate yourself. The kind that you envy and would kill to be like. The kind that everyone loves but nobody likes. The kind of man that is obsessed with himself.

Dorian was perfect he would describe himself as nothing less than that.

His blond hair framed the delicate features of his face and made his hazel eyes shine like the sun. His toned body was described by his admirers as breathtaking. And his deep voice sounded like that of an angel or an prince.

He was the most popular guy in school and had a group of fans in almost every class. When he was a junior seniors asked him out and now that he’s one himself he rejected everyone who ever asked him out. Everybody hoped to be his first.

Since even if he seemed like a player his standards were too high to be one. He saved himself up to find the perfect match for himself that would rival his beauty.

But now that his senior year was halfway finished he wondered if the right person would ever came. His father would always encourage him to keep on looking for the one, like his father did with his mother.

And thats when you came into the picture. You didn’t have high expectations for your new school, you just wanted to find friends and get decent grades. And everything went surprisingly well until you got asked out by the most magnificent man you had ever seen. You knew Dorian since you shared a few classes with him where he did nothing but stare at his phone (and you).

So you quickly went from the new student to the partner of the most popular guy in school. Many wondered what was so different about you when Dorian rejected everyone else. But Dorian knew, in his eyes you were as beautiful as him, and after he got to know you better after a few dates he finally realized what people meant with „what’s on the inside matters“.

You were more beautiful than him, of course not on the outside because let’s be honest nobody is. But your character was better than his, you are nice, empathetic, friendly and every other positive trait he could think of. And he wanted to reward you.

So he talked with his father and decided to take you to your new home.

You didn’t expect much when he invited you to his house, especially not the biggest mansion you have ever seen. But it wasn’t the outside that caught you off guard, it was what was inside.

Before every window was a thick curtain so that no sunlight was visible inside.

On every wall where either pictures of Dorian and a beautiful woman or mirrors. They were big and small, and you felt like they were following your every step. Dorians room was no different being filled with mirrors and a giant portrait above his bed. The picture of Dorian Gray.

You like it, my angel? He asked seeing you staring at his portrait, while hugging you from behind.

It was made on my 18th birthday to capture my beauty forever.

You looked in awe at the sheer beauty infront of you. So you were surprised when Dorian pulled you out of his room and you went to a separate one.

It had no windows and the only thing in it was a portrait of a family. You felt hypnotized by the sight. The woman in the picture even outshined Dorians beauty

Thats my mother.

The toddler which you made out as Dorian had a lot more cuteness to him than Dorian had now with his more often stern expressions. Just the man stood out like a sore thumb with his just average appearance.

You look just like her. He said like in trance.

You were so enamored with the picture that you didn’t realize that the servants threw away all your belongings which you brought with you and locked all the doors.

You were captured by the most beautiful man, with the darkest desires.

💛Thanks a lot for reading, feel free to share. I don’t think I ever had more ideas to write in a story 💛

Designs for the Retro au!! I had way too much designing outfits for them all :)

The scene in question:

You guys underestimate the full blown story I have for Sibyl.. unfortunately it’s held in its confines in my mind and someone will have to force me to put pen to paper and actually write it down.

i finished the picture of dorian gray yesterday

everyone only ever talks about the picture, and yet nobody talks about dorian's soul and the consequences, or his morals

is it so wrong to feel the yearning desire to live our life to what we consider is the fullest? i can't blame dorian, he was willing to sacrifice his soul to live like he wanted and i would too

he was an awful human being, a hypocrite, and he never actually regretted his actions

but do we have the rights to judge him?

“The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror. We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbour with the possession of those virtues that are likely to be a benefit to us. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets. I mean everything that I have said. I have the greatest contempt for optimism.”

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde.
