Do you interact with any Dorians?
Occasionally, yes!
// Still around, love?
Absolutely! I've missed you!
What is your opinion on it? Do you think it ever could have worked out between them, regardless of the whole homosexuality laws and such?
I think that it... depends on a lot more than homosexuality laws. That would certainly be an issue, of course. I think if Lord Henry hadn't come along and opened the world of hedonism to Dorian, there's a slim chance it might have worked out. The two men were, according to Basil, very close before Lord Henry came into the picture.
Then again, I don't know if it would have worked. Like I said, it would depend on a lot of factors. Basil was most definitely in love with Dorian, but what about Dorian's part? We have little evidence of his sexuality. He could be bisexual; he could be heterosexual. I really have no idea, I'm afraid. I certainly think that it couldn't have worked with how Dorian became. If he had never been exposed to temptation, he might have been content to remain the blushing young man who happily received Basil's reverence, as he was in the beginning.
Do you ship Basil and Dorian?
Yes.
How come you are never on anymore? :(
1. I'm really bad at handling more than one character.
2. Last week was tech week for the play; late rehearsals don't leave much time for replying on three accounts.
3. Gastroparesis is draining, which augments the first reason.
I'm sorry to here that. You should have more confidence though, your Basil is absolutely wonderful!
--You're very kind.
How come you never get on this account?
--... Insecurity, to be honest. I haven't read/studied/analyzed The Picture of Dorian Gray to the extent that I have done so for the other books I RP characters from. I feel I've been playing Basil far too shallow and one-dimensional.
You are such a fantastic Basil! XD
—Ah, thank you! I’m sorry I haven’t been doing replies on here; this is a hectic week. I will get to them soon. But many thanks for the compliment!
