You have ruined me.

Yes, my dear Basil, you have shown me eternal beauty, which I cannot achieve. You have immortalised me in your art. You have immortalised me in a way where the world will witness my eternal beauty, cherish it forever. But Alas! I will be long gone by then, wither away into ashes. You have shown me something extremely valuable but have not shown me how to preserve it. For this is all I have, my beauty, the very essence of my identity. To lose beauty is to lose one's identity. How do I live with the knowledge that my identity will be snatched away from me one day and all that will remain is a piece of art instead? What do I do to keep it alive? Do I tear it apart? Or do I tear myself apart?

Jeez fine I get it 🙄

Why worry about aging? I can just filter my selfies until I look like I’m 25 forever.

Spent an evening with Harry today. Now I know why people crave the forbidden fruit. People are self-destructive in nature. Whatever seems to destroy us, ruin us to the bones, and we crave it more. Maybe that's how temptation works, or at least Harry thinks so. Giving into the temptation is yielding yourself to the will of a greater power. It's putting the other entity on a shrine and worshipping them like a dog till it consumes one's entire identity and existence. Like a moth drawn to a flame. Maybe that's the curse of humanity. Maybe there's no easier way out of one's desire except letting them consume you, devour you whole until there's nothing left.

@faustianbargainss was right,

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful."

You are quite incorrigible, Harry; but I don’t mind. It is impossible to be angry with you. I do not understand the implications of your profound and abstract words.

@faustianbargainss, i give you my word that there's more to my engagement than what the human eye can comprehend. Syble Vane is an extraordinary woman and you will love her.

I like people who are like the sun.

People who shine so bright that a few eclipses do not define their worth.

I like people who know grief.

People who have known damage but haven't let that consume their entire being.

I like people who are a little broken.

People who leave cracks for the light to enter, a leap of faith.

I like people who choose to be kind.

People who grow up with violence but teach themselves to handle it with tenderness.

I like people who are not like me.

I like people who are like you.

My blog is a safe space for the cursed, the damned, and those marked for death. Wronged lovers and unfulfilled enemies. Brides who came back wrong and pianists with the hands of murderers. Decadent poets buried in shallow graves. Unavenged ghosts. And Dracula.

Hello! We are Titas [@shadowsnblood] and Bhagya. This blog is part of a university assignment. It will basically be from the POV of Dorian Gray, the protagonist of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, in the current timeframe. We also have two other blogs, [@adoristoile for Basil Hallward and @faustianbargainss for Lord Henry Wotton] for the other primary characters. We'll be posting original content on all three blogs, just from the character's perspectives. We hope our work will be interesting, and your engagement would be very helpful for our assignment.

Thank youu <33
