meet basil hallward, the artist whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused at the time such public excitement, and gave rise to so many strange conjectures. indie rp blog for a canon character of the picture of dorian gray fame, following book canon, personal headcanons & AUs of my own devising. riz ahmed is my faceclaim of choice.
a study in conformation, love of secrets, friendships coloured by romance, and losing yourself to art itself as means of survival.
resurrected by kai. find me on my other rp blogs — @handgiven and @hellpending .
. carrd . prompts . open . rules below .
i am excited to write with other classic lit muses, as well as anyone whose canon fits into the 1870s all the way to the present (because unless specified otherwise, i write the version where basil lived. read about it in the verses on my carrd <3)
rules:
1. be kind. you know the drill.
2. i am always extatic to find fellow tpodg / classic lit rpers but i am also not looking to be exclusive with anyone. if there ever were more of the same character to write with, i say the more the merrier .)
3. regarding canon ships: i am a basil/henry truther. i will however also write basil/dorian, and support dorian/henry because i love pain. i still think that if basil & henry had just stuck together, none of the bad things had to happen. (other than that basil hallward is a homosexual man in victorian england. any and all possible ships will have to deal with that somehow.)
4. i made this blog mostly because i am pissed at the recent news abt the oncoming netflix adaptation which allegedly has basil & dorian be siblings. idk what's gonna come out of that but if you wanna shake fists in the air with me at bad tpodg adaptations, please hit me up.
