This post might be for a very small niché of people but I just started listening to The Picture of Dorian Gray (I prefer audiobooks because my adhd makes it almost impossible for me to read books) and I couldn’t help but make up visuals in my mind and somehow my OFMD hyperfixation decided to enter the room and I couldn’t help but imagine Basil as Stede, Dorian Gray as Ed and Lord Henry as Lucius and honestly it worked so well it’s scary.
Please somebody make this an AU. I’d love that.
Granted I’m not that far into the story so this post might just age like milk but so far the headcanon works very great.
Love the chaotic sassy gay bestie energy between Lord Henry and Basil.
