The pure hearted artist

{ Ask account for Basil Hallward (character in the movie "Dorian Gray"). I'm not a good RPer, but if you want to play let me know. Sorry but because I'm not English, I can't write long replies. Be patient, please}

[ask-basil-hallward]

What were your final thoughts when Dorian stabbed you? (( I hope this question isn't too graphic))

“With horror in his eyes, Basil gazed at the stranger in the grey mask”

Dorian did what?? I’m not really sure if you meant literally or figuratively but I’m as fine as I can be and we’re good friends. Dorian would never lay a finger on me neither would betray me. He’s a nice, kind hearted young man.

On a scale of 1-10 how gay are you for Dorian? ~

“Basil frowned slightly. They probably meant homosexual, not happy.”

I beg your pardon dear anonymous but Dorian is but a dear friend for me.

[ask-basil-hallward]

how have you been mister hallward? have you painted anything lately?

Thank you for asking dear anonymous! I’ve been fine and happy if I can say so myself. 

Yes I have and I just finished my new .. well, I dare to say masterpiece! I wish not to sound boastful but I’m proud of myself. Although Dorian still forbids me to even take a look at my own portrait of him but I believe this picture is near as fine as my last one.

Greetings mister Hallward! It's been awhile! How have you been?

Greetings my friend! I’m terribly sorry, I feel rather awful about my frequent absence! I was in a journey and a malicious illness caught me during my busiest trip.. But I’m fully healed by now, thank you for asking!

[ask-basil-hallward]

mister Hallward you know how much we miss you?

Really? 

“Basil smiled friendly as he rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed. So true, it’s been a while since he last showed himself.”

I apoogize my friend, I’ve been quite busy lately. You know, artist barely have time for anything. I live for art and beauty. But, I promise I’ll show up more often in the near future!

ooc: If you like someone’s art then why do you scroll through instead of liking/reblogging it? Don’t you know how much it means for the artist who put so much effort into it and spent hours/days to make something nice for you all? Damn it.

Don’t ignore and reblog if you are agree with me. Artists, popular or not, deserve to know if you like their work.

Bonjour Monsieur! I wish to introduce myself otherwise my supposition would be even more rude. My name is Basil Hallward and I couldn't help but noted for myself that you charming personality reminds me of a nice friend of mine, although she's woman. If you don't mind me asking, are you member of the Florbelle family?

*Yet another person comes up with this topic? How interesting. Sighing softly Justin shook his head* Non mon ami. I’m afraid you mistake me with someone yet yes I am the only child of the former doctor Florbelle. My name is Justin, alas I have no siblings at all. Yes I’m sure you wanted to ask this, you’d not be the first  today.

[ask-basil-hallward]

Perhaps namesake. It ain’t impossible. But the resemblance..

“Basil got impressed by the appearance of the young man. God in heaven couldn’t convince him, Justin was not related to mademoiselle Florbelle. Yet, if he say so it then nothing to do about it.”

For the ladies

I apologize for my frequent absence. The work constantly keeps me busy, but can not do anything, this is an artist's life. My remarks is going to be brief but its source is kindness. I know I'm a little late, but as they say, the thought that counts. Long lines could be written why I do not agree that women receive only one day of adoration. Yet, where would we be without them? Wives, girlfriends,  daughters, and especially mothers. We must not forget, all ladies are all valuable. Beautiful everyone apart from their age. The young ones like fresh blossoms, the women in their noble ages as the blooming red roses. In short, there is beauty in everyone. Like I said, if I had my way, we would  pays tribute every day to the ladies, because they really deserve. In hindsight but I wish you happiness, health and fortune to spend even more years in the beauty, bliss or just the spirit of love.

[ask-basil-hallward]

how can you be Cinderella's dad??

I must apologize for my ignorance and puzzlement but I don’t quite understand what you are talking about.

[ask-basil-hallward]

Even though I'm a single man and have no one to spend the day of lovers, I nonetheless wish joy for everyone who can have this late winter day with someone special. Have nice day with delight in the spirit of romance.

[ask-basil-hallward]

it's fine mr hallward we love you

I apologize but I feel kinda confused what you mean by that, but I nevertheless appreciate your kindness, thank you.

[ask-basil-hallward]

{Sometimes I spend too long time away I nearly forget how I used to reply to posts/question although I have my own rule which was created especially for this blog and I want not to break it. I must say sorry for the lack of visit of me, life keeps me rather busy though the year just began. }

[ask-basil-hallward]

It's unbelievable.

I must apologize for my absence, the past few months were quite busy and an artist can never rest. There's always a thing that pleases my soul and catches my attention. By that I mean, like always I spend my time in spirit of the art to create newer and newer works of art and master pieces. The year just began but I'm going to be rather busy. Beauty is everywhere and an artist must catch it. Nothing lasts forever and it makes everything more valuable. I merely hope I'll have time to visit my friends, I feel awful for not being able to spend more time with them. Perhaps, I can compensate them somewhat. Well, at the moment I need a nice glass of absinthe and a little time to write a few letters.

[ask-basil-hallward]

Monsieur Hallward! It's been a while! Me and my beloved visited an exhibition few days ago, I couldn't help but remembered you. How have you been? How did your new year start?

Mademoiselle de Vigny! What a great surprise to see you after so long time!

"The artist greeted the young woman with welcoming smile on his face. A dear visitor was always a treasure in his home"

I'm fine as I can be but how about you? You say an exhibition? Was it a fancy? The start of first day of the year was sort of pain, needless to say, my old friend came up with his invaluable habit and nearly ruined a cozy party. But speak mademoiselle, I'm all ears and curious what happened around you in the past few months. Everything is alright?

[ask-basil-hallward]

My friend, the kind of people like you is very rare in this twisted world. You know me not yet you know how to deal with me. Your time is near although it's nothing but a horrible misfortune. Don't be afraid your name will be remembered.

"Basil was enjoying a nice glass of absinthe, as he deserved after long , hard working on his new picture. In the middle of the night, before going to hit the hay, an inner voice began to speak to him. Or was it not so inner? Like a baneful warning"

Perhaps..this absinthe wasn't the best choice in these late hours..

"Of course being naive man he thought it was a side effect of the drink. The artist was not ready for a sudden tragic death"

Life

Today, during my daily walk I witnessed how a raven attacked and killed a dove. Needless to say it was no heartwarming sight. Even more so, because animals do not kill for fun, it did. Slightly saddens me, despite I know that this is the way of life and almost inevitable. But why black and white? Again faced with the fact why got the raven the nickname "the bird of death" . Like an insidious demon, and its dark feather helps it helps it hide in the night. But if we talk about death, I immediately go even further, because no one likes this topic. Not comfortable for some people and it quite gruesome. Life the simple word itself  already does sound fabulous. Birth, unfortunately not all of us have the same great life, full of strength and length. Despite this, I believe we should  bring the most out of it. Life is not like painting on the canvas. Slowly comes to an end but, over time, loses its beauty. We all start with the same opportunities. Innocence, purity. Pure like a white dove. Still, there are many people who do not exercise their option to leading their way through this adventure. Somebody give up, someone's out of luck. While it lasts, but should see the options to find the miracle when it is given to those who are lucky. They should have a pure heart and selfless soul to help their unlucky fellow creatures. I digress. Life can be beautiful, but it sure can be hideous, too short to be wasted for hate and quarrel. We can never know when will we be in a position like the one who got hurt by us. Or when it would be good to get help by the person we insulted. So, does it worth to judge, offend, hurt each other? Our souls are so fragile and can be influenced with ease. Our hearts are naked and it's our personality that we use to dress it. And you choose which clothe you use to dress your heart. The black coat of hatred or the white robe of love. You know what they say. "Help yourself and the God will also help you" but wouldn't it be nicer and easier to help each other and make our lives better? I wonder. One thing is sure, one doesn't need to burn the candle at both ends to be happy and live full life. Choose to be a "raven" or  a "dove" .
