The Picture of the Picture of Dorian Grey, a Picture of Dorian with his Picture, which is of Dorian Grey, Dorian Grey's Picture
Had to take matters into my own hands when I realised not a single adaptation or depiction I could find was actually accurate to how this freak of a man is actually described, in all his offending blondeness and overt homosexuality.
My most ambitious figure to date perhaps. Thank you slow dry medium what would I do without you. "Why didn't you do this in oils" SCARED AND IMPATIENT
And what if said neither basil nor Henry actually loved or even cared about Dorian except as a twisted method of torturing each other in a desperately toxic bid to get the other to pay notice to them and touching Dorian and changing him fundamentally by remaking him in their own vision of the ideal lover was the closest they could get to each other and reconciling their own opposing world views? What if Dorian gray was always a pawn in the hands of powerful older men who cared not for him except for the role he played as a pretty little thing to be caged up in their own machinations to win the other’s affection. What if both basil and Henry corrupt Dorian because they wish to corrupt the other?

Vanessa Ives
secretly loves soft domestic routines. like tea at the same hour, same cup, same chair. it grounds her more than she’ll ever admit
keeps little objects people give her (pressed flowers, ribbons, random trinkets) and actually treasures them
reads aloud when someone can’t sleep. her voice is low and steady and it helps more than anything
has a very dry, blink-and-you-miss-it sense of humor. if you catch it, it’s gold
will gently fix your collar or brush lint off your sleeve without even thinking about it
knows she’s being dramatic… will still deliver a full gothic monologue over something minor. no brakes
goes quiet for hours then drops one sentence that emotionally devastates the whole room
weirdly, secretly soft with animals
stray cats absolutely flock to her like she’s their chosen prophet
pretends she doesn’t care but is 100% feeding them and apologizing to them like she personally caused original sin
rehearses conversations in her head… and then somehow says something even more intense in real life
Ethan Chandler
makes coffee/tea/whatever drink for everyone before they wake up. doesn’t announce it. just leaves cups there like some tired cowboy fairy
surprisingly good with kids. like immediately softer, quieter, lets them win at games
listens. like really listens. might not respond perfectly, but he hears you
gives his jacket away constantly and then pretends he’s “not cold anyway” while absolutely freezing
hums sometimes without realizing it. low, absent-minded, usually when he feels safe
