This shot of Lestat and Louis sitting in suits with their legs crossed on the bench reminds me of the famous Oscar Wilde and Lord Bosie, a historical gay couple.

Not gonna lie, with his flamboyance and wit, Lestat does give me Oscar Wilde vibes lol 🤣

And Louis being the younger pretty boy gives me Lord Bosie vibes - he even has the hat lol 😂

They have a similar dynamic too especially with the way Lestat romantically gushes over Louis' beauty in the same way that Oscar Wilde romantically gushed over Bosie's beauty 😖

I'm not sure if this scene was a reference to that tho or if it's just literally meant to be Lestat and Louis chilling in the park lol 😂

What do you think?

“He has also ruined my life, so I can’t help loving him — it is the only thing to do.”

— Excerpt from a letter to solicitor Leonard Smithers from Oscar Wilde about the love of his life, the poet Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas, on October 1st 1897.

The Cod

There's something very strange and odd, About the habits of the Cod.

For when you're swimming in the sea, He sometimes bites you on the knee.

And though his bites are not past healing, It is a most unpleasant feeling.

And when you're diving down below, He often nips you on the toe.

And though he doesn't hurt you much, He has a disagreeable touch.

There's one thing to be said for him, - It is treat to see him swim.

But though he swims in graceful curves, He rather gets upon your nerves.

∼ Lord Alfred Douglas (1870 - 1945)

I also have a new perspective on Dorian Gray after I saw both the movie Dorian Gray and Wilde. What if Henry is the devil, or he represents the devil? Since he is corrupting Dorian constantly, and he made Dorian aware of his temporary youth and beauty, therefore driving him to a passive and unconscious faustian bargain?

And is it just me, or Lord Alfred Douglas has a very similar behaviour to Lord Henry's? Think about this. Both Dorian and Oscar were influenced by a Lord. Both of them were quite chill about everything before the Lord entered their lives (more or less). Both of their lives end up pretty bad after being influenced.

Now I know that The picture of Dorian Gray was written in 1890, before Oscar met Bosie, but Dorian's life and Oscar's are incredibly similar.

#OTD in 1895 – Oscar Wilde was arrested, in the Cadogan Hotel, London, after losing a libel case against John Sholto Douglas (9th Marquess of Queensberry), who had called Wilde a homosexual.

Oscar Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet born in Dublin. At the height of his fame and success, while his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was still on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry prosecuted for libel. Married to Constance Lloyd and father of two children Cyril and Vyvyan, Wilde was also conducting an ongoing affair with Lord Alfred…

“My life is everything I ever wanted. I have fame. I have recognition. With two plays about to open in London, I may even have money. The world is at my command. Yet I can't command myself. I can't command my feelings for you.”

Wilde (1997)
