What's the point of life if not to be dead for over a hundred years only for some mentally ill youth to run a blog in which they're just too funny about you in your sorta-honor but it is the most horrifying thing and even worse they start a Discord server? Join the Discord Server.

Silver allergy be damned I'm wearing my Victorian ring
It's a shame that Oscar Wilde didn't exist at the same time as Grindr.
Are you posing as a somdomite?
Yes
No and I'm suing you for libel
Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas was a complex individual who deserves to be seen as more than just Oscar Wilde’s lover. His life and character are fascinating in their own right, and he had his own voice, ambitions, and personality, which are often overshadowed by his connection to Wilde. Here are some aspects of Bosie that make him a person worth understanding on his own terms:
Bosie was a poet and writer with a certain degree of skill. While his work did not reach the same heights as Wilde’s, he published poems and essays that were appreciated by some of his contemporaries. His most famous poem, Two Loves, contains the iconic phrase “I am the love that dare not speak its name,” which has become a symbol of homosexual love
Bosie’s life was heavily shaped by his tumultuous relationship with his father, the Marquess of Queensberry. He grew up in an aristocratic family marked by violence and authoritarian expectations. This upbringing gave him both privileges and traumas
Bosie was known for his good looks, charm, and charisma. He could be both magnetic and temperamental, someone who drew others to him but could also alienate them with his explosive temper and demands. He was both loved and hated by those who knew him.
After Wilde’s death, Bosie tried to carve out his own identity and career. He married Olive Custance, a poet, and they had a son, Raymond. Bosie’s later life was marked by financial struggles and heated conflicts, but he fought for recognition as a writer and as an independent person beyond Wilde’s shadow.
Bosie is often portrayed as the “villain” in Wilde’s story, but this is an oversimplification. He was a young man, shaped by his time and circumstances, trying to navigate a world full of expectations and prejudices. His feelings for Wilde were genuine, even though their relationship was turbulent and destructive.
Bosie converted to Catholicism in 1911 and sought to live a more religious and moral life. He later condemned parts of his past, including his relationship with Wilde, but this can also be seen as his way of coping with the shame and guilt imposed on him by society.
Bosie struggled with mental health issues, particularly in his later years. His son Raymond was diagnosed with schizophrenia, which also deeply affected Bosie. These aspects of his life paint a more nuanced picture of him as a human being.
Bosie is indeed a complex human being. To expand upon your thesis, I am here with my clownery.
1) He dropped out of university to pursue funny butt stuff. (It was too dangerous to continue university because he was being blackmailed, which isn't funny and he didn't deserve that.)
2) King James I/IV gave Bosie's grandfather a title, which led to Bosie's homophobic dad having a title. Irony.
3) Bosie had a talent for being overshadowed. He wasn't even the original rainbow sheep of his family. That title went to his eldest brother.
4) He was a stoner. He loved weed. There's a letter about him crying because he wanted weed in the middle of the night.
5) I also believe there's a letter describing him laying butt naked in the grass during the day.
It's almost torturous to not be able to call Twinkathon 5000 "Bosie" on my book report. I'm stuck to calling him his actual name. Who is this Lord Alfred Douglas? I only know Bitch Boy Bosie.
It's 8:03. I have a migraine and a book report due tonight. I can't remember events in order so I'm listening to an Elton John song to remind me of the order of events that happened in Oscar Wilde's life.
Oscar Wilde: 0
Wallpaper: 1
This legitimately makes me seem like I'm roasting Oscar Wilde
I kind of hate calling Oscar just "Wilde" on papers. He hated being called just by his last name, and I feel rather disrespectful calling him in a way he hated.
Dance Lessons :)
Refs lol:
It's so disappointing that Bosie experienced twink death.
It's very difficult to listen to my Oscar Wilde biography audiobook when my university's production of Alice By Heart is played directly over my head.
Oscar Wilde would you be interested in signing up for a credit card?
@aperol-spritzzz I beg to differ. I think he'd be the king of credit fraud. He wouldn't get arrested because his credit fraud would be so impressive that it would be a crime upon the judge to have him sentenced.
That's what she said. And she is a 19th century poet, playwright, author and public speaker. Her name is Oscar Wilde.
“You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”
— Oscar Wilde
I don't think he said this. It's an allegedly. The word fancy would have been redundant. If he saw a car right before he died, it would have been a marvel. It could have been referring to a train car, but that doesn't make sense in this instance. This also doesn't sound like the cadence in which he spoke or wrote. It just doesn't feel very wildean to me.
I understand Oscar Wilde on a deeper level. If you don't, that's just a skill issue.
