Dearest Dorian,

I apologize so much for my absence. I can not comprehend, much less put into words, how sorry I am that I haven't written to you. I've been so busy, I couldn't find the time to write letters! I hope you didn't feel neglected by me, or abandoned! I could never forget you, my Dorian, you are much too dear to me. I really apologize for the absence of my normally recent letters. I hope you can forgive me, but I absolutely understand if you can't!

With Love, Fips ♡

[with the letter was a huge flower bouquet with a mix of tulips and roses, all in different colors. In the middle was a golden-yellow rose. Next to the bouquet was also a box of chocolates, which was finely wrapped]

(ooc: Finally got enough courage to turn Anon off! :D)

Dearest Fips,

There is no need to apologise for sending less letters. I know, of course, that you have a life, and you should live it rather than writing to me all the time, but I am so dreadfully pleased to hear from you despite.

Thank you so very much for the flowers, they are absolutely divine! The chocolates, as well, I am certain are delicious. It has been so nice to hear from you.

With love, Dorian x

Dear Dorian Gray,

My apologies for sounding threatening, I’ve been told I have a very Ill sense of tone. I simply find you interesting. In the same way one might admire a particularly striking insect, or a bird when they go watching for them.

After all we hardly know each other personally. It would be rather odd if after a few short letters we were already hand in hand, being friends. Although, there should be a little something in this one to help make up for me and my eccentricities.

*Digging further through the envelope is a nicely cut daffodil, perhaps a bit flattened but nothing that can’t be taken care of.. or preserved.*

I do wish you a lovely evening Mr. Gray. One of enrichment and joy preferably, but you can’t be too picky..

Sincerely,

Graves

Dear Graves,

I accept your apology for your cool tone of voice. It is kind of you to say that you find me interesting, although it is the sort of thing I've heard before plenty of times, by many people.

I myself make friends quickly but I can see that you do not. It is no matter. We will be merely whatever it is you intend for us to be. I thank you for the daffodil; I will have it pressed and kept.

I hope that you, too, have a lovely evening, Graves.

Sincerely, Dorian Gray

Dear Dorian,

well does my that sound devious. Again I hear, I don’t care what you do in your free time, as long as it isn’t my problem.

But you have to remember, getting what you want requires sacrifice. Sometimes you have to trade one good thing for another in the grand scheme of things. I should know-

however, I do hope that you’re doing well, that you’re feeling alright and the days have been lovely.

Sincerely,

Graves

Dear Graves,

You are sounding awfully serious and sinister and it isn't at all to my liking. In fact, you sound rather like you're threatening me. If you are not, then you simply must adjust your tone when referring to these things. What I do will not bother you, and if it does then it is because you are standing in my way.

Despite this, I too hope that you are doing well and feasting upon many pleasures. You must cease to speak as though you are a ghost of Christmas past, regardless.

Sincerely, Dorian Gray

Dorian, Come back

-Basil Hallward

My dear Basil, I am still confused as to where you think I have gone. You would like me to come back to your studio? You are acting most curious.

[dear-dorian-gray]

To my darling Dorian,

It saddens me to tell you this, but unfortunately, I won't be able to send letters from next week on. I will be gone from home the entire weekdays, which may make it impossible for me to write letters to you. I feel it is important to tell you this, I wish not for you to think I have abandoned you, as I would never even think of such. I hope you won't take this too badly, but just know I will miss you. If I can, I will write to you on weekends, but I unfortunately don't know If I will be able to.

With Love, Fips ♡

Dearest Fips,

I am very sorry to hear that you will not be able to send letters as frequently as before, however you needn't worry too much about my feelings. I instead simply wish that you have a good week while we do not talk.

With love, Dorian x

Dear Dorian, Would you really like to stay young forever? hmm... If you don't mind the occult might I suggest getting into vampyrism? I jest, I jest, That doesn't seem to be your cup of tea, Feeding off of other people in order to... Well.. Perhaps It wouldn't be in the literal sense. Gore doesn't; seem like something you're thrilled about anyhow... Seem Although it would be no more unnatural than raising the dead I suppose... (Wouldn't that be something)

Sincerely Graves.

Dearest Graves,

I have tasted blood before during some of my recreational activities, and it has not yet made me a vampire. I haven't the slightest how I would manage such a thing, but I am concerned that my eyes may go an unsightly red, that my cheeks may lose their rosy tint, if I become undead.

As for raising the dead, what a nonsense! It is perfectly impossible, of that I am sure. Even Alan could not manage such a feat.

Sincerely,

Dorian Gray

Dorian, Dorian, my dear boy. WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!?

Sincerely, Basil Hallward

Dearest Basil, I haven't the foggiest what you are speaking of. I can hardly stay with you forever. Would you like me to visit to-morrow afternoon? Would that calm you?

Affectionately, Dorian Gray

#DearDorian #dorian gray #the picture of dorian gray #tpodg #asks #basil hallward

[dear-dorian-gray]

Mr Gray,

I'm afraid I don't understand what you meant when you said Basil was cold. To myself and many others, Basil has been nothing but kind and incredibly caring. He has never once acted like he cared more about his art than me, and I would be shocked he had acted in this manner with you.

Sincerely,

Rayes

Dear Rayes,

Well, he rather frustrates me. He is always asking for me to sit for him and would far rather do that than enjoy a cup of tea with me. I feel a little like he wants me to shush! We can never talk if I am sitting.

Sincerely, Dorian Gray

[dear-dorian-gray]

Dear Dorian, How old are you? (If it isn't rude at least) I'm merely curious, You don't look too much older than twenty at the very very most, But you talk much more sophisticatedly than most twenty years olds. More mature? Not to say you're old it's just quite the curious predicament. Sincerely, Graves

Dear Graves,

I have been very well-educated, and that is partly why I speak like this. I have also been told I copy Harry’s speech pattern, so perhaps that is partly is. As for my age, a gentleman never tells. I should like to be young forever.

Sincerely,

Dorian Gray

Dear Dorian Gray,

I've heard many good things of you from my dear friend Basil. However, Basil is quite fragile, and I fear someone of your character may have the ability to hurt those like him quite easily. I fear I must ask why you consort with Basil, as it seems as though you have everything he wants, while he has nothing you want.

Sincerely,

Aaryn Rayes

Dear Aaryn Rayes,

Basil was the first friend I had in London, and so that is why I spend time with him. Harry also likes him. However, I myself would not call him fragile, and I don't understand why everybody else seems to think so! He seems to me a very cold man who thinks of nothing but art.

Sincerely,

Dorian Gray

Dearest Dorian,

I apologize for not writing you a letter in a few days. I've taken a break from letter-writing for a bit, as I've been a bit unwell. But I'm better now. Sadly, I couldn't bake much the past few days, but I will soon be baking again! I have missed writing to you, it's been a bit lonely without the usual letters. How about we meet this week? I hope Saturday sounds great, I've discovered a new restaurant, and I've heard it's pretty good. We should visit it together and talk to each other, I would love to dine with you. Please do tell me a time that would be good for you, I will see if I can make my calendar free. Please, do enjoy the gift I've sent with the letter.

With Love, Fips ♡

[With the letter was a white box, containing a few raspberry muffins and a new black ribbon, it seemed to be made out of satin and had a few white, star-shaped pearls attached to it. It was pretty, and seemed very carefully Hand-Made]

Dearest Fips,

An apology is unneeded, although I am very sorry to hear that you have been unwell. I am glad, however, that you are now on your feet once more.

I am pleased to hear from you, and I would like very much to see you on Saturday. I love to discover new restaurants—I have a suspicion I know the restaurant you mean, a new place, although I have never been there myself, so we will discover it together.

I usually dine at 8pm. You know how fashionable it is at the moment to dine late, after all. I thank you for your accompanying gift also. I am sure they will be delicious.

With love, Dorian Gray x

god youre so interesting. i wanna put you inside a little terrarium

Oh, what a curious thing to desire, but I am happy to do whatever gets your rocks off, Anon.

#DearDorian #dorian gray #the picture of dorian gray #tpodg #asks

[dear-dorian-gray]

Dear Dorian,

What is your truthful and honest opinion about Basil? I was merely curious, seeing as Basil seemed to think rather highly of you. (Maybe too much so? Is there such thing as too much?)

It simply prompted my thoughts of whether or not you shared the same sentiments or not. Nothing more nothing less.

Basil is a very dear friend of mine, but he often frustrates or irritates me. He is always telling me what to do, wanting me to get out of trouble—he knows that I do not appreciate his advice, as I am having fun. His constant compliments have also ceased to be flattering. They now only bore me.

As for his feelings about me, you would have to talk to him about that, Anon, as they've nothing to do with me. His feelings are not my fault.

[dear-dorian-gray]

To my darling Dorian,

I hope you're having a good day, my dear! I, for one, am delighted to tell you that I and Henry have, somewhat, made up. Although I can't say that he has grown to like me, we're at least on friendlier terms now. I'm also very happy to hear I may visit you next week, I've been oh-so lonely! While I bake a raspberry cake, why don't you enjoy some muffins I made to keep your pastry craving in check? This letter may be a bit short, as I am in a rush, but I felt the need to make sure you knew I'm still gonna be writing letters to you!

With Love, Fips ♡

[with the letter is a medium sized white box with red satin bows. When Dorian opens the box, he is met with the smell of raspberry and strawberry muffins, along with some chocolate-covered fruits]

Dearest Fips,

How pleased I am to hear that you have made up with Harry! I would be completely distraught if he were to fall out with me.

I am looking forward to seeing you also, and I thank you very much for the muffins and the fruit. You are terribly generous.

With love, Dorian x

(ooc: I'm not even four pages into the book and I'm already breaking down over the fact Oscar insists to keep calling that couch a "divan")

(-Fips)

It's a specific type of sofa! The kind with both armrests but no back, like what Cleopatra is often depicted lying across, I believe.

Oh nice I hope you enjoy it! It's honestly so good, it's my favourite book probably!
