The first time you listen to wttbp after yesterday am i right?

me, flinging myself onto my bed at 3am riddled with yearning for something unknown and filled with poetic gay thoughts: is this how oscar wilde felt

must a man be handsome? is it not enough for him to be a 19th century artist named after a herb, gazing at his beautiful young friend with whom he shares great homoerotic tension, and painting the portrait that will ultimately lead to his young friend’s downfall?

Aziraphale: *to Oscar Wilde* A talented painter...

Crowley: ...who's also gay...

Aziraphale: ...meets a charming boy...

Crowley: ...who sells his soul to the devil...

Aziraphale: ...but finds the courage to confess his love...

Crowley: ...and gets killed by the boy.

Aziraphale: ...

Crowley: what?

Aziraphale: I was trying to tell a love story

Crowley: mee too

Wilde: NO PLEASE KEEP GOING THIS IS AWESOME

“This wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. Either it goes or I do.”

whenever I tell anyone to read The Picture Of Dorian Gray they ask “do you have a copy I can borrow?” and I think of how I’ve absolutely covered the thing in annotation, like cover-to-cover black scribbles and how a part of my heart lies tucked between those pages and so of course they can’t borrow it and it’s just

really obnoxiously meta 

Teacher: you can’t capitalize random words

Me: according to 18th century literature I Can

Pride special! Historical figures who were LGTB (edited with pride flags)

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) - A famous Irish poet and playwright best known from his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Homoerotic subtext was featured in some of his works. He was very flamboyant and had multiple affairs with other men. One of these affairs was with his friend and lover Lord Alfred Douglas while being married with two sons. This relationship ultimately lead Wilde to be arrested and put in trial for sodomy which he was found guilty. In 1895 he was sentenced in two years of hard labour. After his release from prison, he moved to France and lived in mid-1897 with Ronald Ross. Later that year he met with Douglass and they lived in Naples but separated because of the financial pressure from their families (who didn’t accept their meeting) and personal reasons.

Alan Turin (1912-1954) - British logician, computer scientist, and mathematician. His most influential work is Turing Machine which can be seen as a model of a modern computer. In 1952 he was charged with gross indecency after admitting his sexual relationship with Arnold Murray. Homosexual acts were illegal during that time in the United Kindom. He was given a choice to either go to prison or parole including his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce libido. He chose the later and the treatment caused impotent and gynecomastia.

Pjotr Tšaikovski (1840-1893) - Classic Russian composer. He composed many masterpieces such as Swanlake and The Nutcracker. He suffered from bad mental health and was reclusive and shy. It is under debate that Tšaikovski might have had a hard time accepting his own sexuality. Sergey Kireyev was his first, and according to his brother’s diary his “strongest, longest and purest love”.

Frida Kahlo (1907-1953) - Mexican painter who is known from her colourful, yet dark-themes paintings. Based on her own experience, women’s harsh life and pain are expressed in her art, making her almost a feminist cult person in the 90s. She was openly bisexual and was friends with Pablo Picasso.

Joséphine Baker (1903-1975) - American-French dancer, singer and stage artist. She was openly bisexual and very famous in her time for her revealing costumes, dance performances and exotic beauty. She was also an activist against racism and worked as an honourable correspondent for France during World War II, gathering information about German troop locations. Baker was openly bisexual.

Anne Lister (1791-1840) - Considered to be the first modern lesbian for her openly gay lifestyle, Lister was an English landowner and diarist, who wrote about her life in detail, including her lesbian relationships containing intimate details about them (these parts written in code) to her diaries that are over 4 million words long. She took care of business and travelled a lot during her life. Lister was in a relationship with Ann Walker and in 1834 they took communion together in Holy Trinity Church and thereafter considered themselves married. A Historical drama series Gentleman Jack was released this year and it tells her story based on her diaries.

Chevalier d’Éon (1728-1810) - A French diplomat and spy who was also a soldier in the Seven Years’ War. While working in London as a spy, d’Èon was rumoured to be a woman despite wearing dragoon’s uniform and serving the king as a man. People started betting on d'Éon true sex. D'Éon declined the invitation to be examined for it would have been dishonouring whatever the result. Later on, d'Éon was in political exile in London (after a series of events), unable to return to France but after the death of Louis XV d'Éon tried to negotiate on his return to France. D'Éon was allowed to return but with the condition that he would turn over the correspondence regarding the secret du roi (King Louis XV’s secret channel of diplomats d'Éon worked in) D'Éon returned but claimed to be born as a woman and raised as a boy. D'Éon demanded to be recognized as a woman by the government. The government accepted this but demanded d'Éon to wear appropriately female clothing. D'Éon agreed and returned to France and lived as a woman until death. D'Éon’s dead body was examined and confirmed to have had male organs yet having feminine characteristics. This might be evidence to d'Éon being intersex.

Dr. Alan L. Hart (1890-1962) - An American physician, tuberculosis researcher, radiologist, writer and novelist who was one of the first trans men to undergo hysterectomy and gonadectomy in the USA (1917-18). He pioneered x-ray photography which was used to detect tuberculosis. Dr Hart also wrote short stories and four novels during his career. Gay men and gender dysphoria are portrayed in his writing.

Roberta Cowell (1918-2011) - A British racing driver and a fighter pilot in World War II. Cowell was the first known trans woman to undergo sex reassignment surgery. In 1940 she was commissioned in Royal army service corps. While serving as a pilot officer in Germany Cowell attacked enemy targets on the ground but crash-landed and was captured by German troops. Her too escape attempts failed and she was eventually taken to Stalag Luft I where she remained as a prisoner for five months until the camp was abandoned because of the pressure from Red Army. After the war, Cowell began her transition and became friends with Michael Dillon.

Queen Christina (1626-1698) - Queen of Sweden from 1632 to 1654. One of the most educated women in the 17th century, who was interested in books, painting, sculptures and manuscripts. She even called great philosopher Rene Descartes to teach her. Christina never married which was considered scandalous. She also felt strong loath towards actives that were considered feminine during her life time and preferred hunting, fencing and riding instead. Her sexuality is under debate, but some historians consider her to have been lesbian.

(fun fact, I’ve seen this portrait life recently)

These are only few amazing people I have mentioned and there is plenty of many others so don’t be afraid to add people who are not mentioned or correct me if I have errors

“Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary.”

— Oscar Wilde

cause of death: nostalgic melancholy

““You can never be overdressed or overeducated.””

— Oscar Wilde

Everything is sexier when done in a Victorian suit or dress.

Example: 

coming home drunk and messy? Unsexy

coming home drunk and messy with your cravat askew and your hair slipping out of its painstaking parting? Sexy 

I don’t dress fancy to impress boys, I dress fancy to impress the ghost of Oscar Wilde.

when oscar wilde wrote “there are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands” i felt that

26th August 2019

Okay so I actually don't think anyone's gonna read this but it doesn't matter. I kind of also want to have this for myself so I don't forget stuff lol.

It's actually the 27th today buut...I'm going to write it down anyway.

So basically she always talks about tv shows/film she really likes (e.g. Doctor Who). Now, I had recently watched a show called Good Omens (it's really good you should watch it lmao) and I just thought she might like it. I normally never talk to her after lesson and I also don't stay behind or something. I'm really awkward when literally doing the most simple stuff, so you can imagine that actually going to the front and talking to her would be the most awkward thing \ever/. BUT I did it regardless. After rambling a bit she asked me what the show was about and I explained it and also told her that it was with David Tennant. She laughed and said that she was sure it was v good if David Tennant was in it and she also said that she knew now why I thought she would enjoy it.

We couldn't talk for long tho since she had to go to her next lesson but I was literally like jeohdiwhdikwidys for the rest of the day. I'm proud for talking to her lol.

I hope she will tell me when/if she finishes the show. Another reason for being nervous yay. I also hope she won't just forget. Well that's it I guess. I tried to make this as short as possible and I also left out a lot but yea...

There was a lot happening last school year which I could talk about but idk if I should put it on here and if anyone would even be interested. Meh. Well. Have a nice day everyone. Bye.

me when my tc walks by vs after
