Alright I've been taking note of Oscar Wilde references in rqg most are to or about rqg Wilde which make it 10x funnier to me
- I will show him the importance of being honest!!! -Bertie
- Bertie can resist everything except temptation -James
- you know what they say, Mr Wilde, the only thing worst then not being talked about is being drowned in a bucket by an angry priest of Poseiden -Hamid
- he's lying in the gutter and taking his turn to look at the stars -James
- Wilde rolled over and is now not looking at the stars -Alex
There are probably more but I'm only on 56 on my relisten so yeah :)
I may be back with more (I know Helen makes some near the end)

Who do you perceive as the hottest conventionally attractive male RQG character?
I WANT TO KNOW.
I have chosen these options based entirely on "someone in the cast said they are objectively hot". Certain hotties weren't invited because this just didn't happen for them (that I recall.)
I just want to know what people think. Please reblog I need answers. I have to see how close my truth is to everyone else's.
Also I know technically it's canon Ed but his physical description is so hard in the direction of not my type that I reject that. You can still pick him though. Anyway here pick a hottie.

10 or 13 for zolf and wilde, gimme the angst Zo <3
#13: “You could’ve- could’ve stayed. You could’ve helped me fix things.”
(set before the first epilogue)
Oscar can’t deny that he put this house together with the thought of Zolf joining him. That he took a place that was merely somewhere for him to return to at the end of the day and turned it into a home.
Now that Zolf’s been here for a few days, though, it’s more than apparent that he’s not ready to make it what Oscar longs for. They’re closer… but gods, they’re not there yet.
“I, uh…” Zolf starts, putting down a meal in front of Oscar that’s better than anything he’s eaten in the months they were apart. “I picked this recipe up in a little village outside of Salisbury. S’nice.”
“It smells delicious, Zolf.”
He watches his beloved smile under the praise, can’t help but wonder how often Zolf hears kind words when he’s out on his journeys. From the look of him, probably not very often.
They eat in pleasantly companionable silence, but he’s plagued by the feeling that they’re on the cusp of something the entire time, like they’re not getting out of this kitchen without at least a little heartbreak.
“I’m thinking about moving on.”
Gods, he hates being right.
Oscar nods, sipping at his tea to hide the worst of his reaction. It’s barely been a week—.
“Soon?”
“Yeah.” Zolf murmurs, glancing down at the table, at his plate, everywhere but Oscar. Gods, Oscar wishes he would just make eye contact like he used to. “Heard about a job south of the river, then might just… keep going.”
Zolf continues not to look at him, even when he sighs and rests his chin on his upturned palm. “I wish you’d stay.”
Boldly going for honesty doesn’t seem to be entirely the right approach, but it feels best in the moment. It makes Zolf shrink away from him, wincing a bit, and that feels good too - even if it shouldn’t.
“You could’ve… you could’ve stayed.” Oscar says, his voice trembling a little. It’s so damn exposing to be in love. “You could’ve helped me fix things.”
Zolf frowns, extending his hand until his palm covers Oscar’s. It does absolutely nothing to make him feel better. “S’what I’m trying to do, Oscar.”
His heart clenches. “Do you have to do it so far away?”
For a horrible moment, he worries that all he’ll have managed to achieve with his longing is to chase Zolf away even sooner. He closes his eyes and lets his head drop, tears prickling behind his eyelids.
Then there’s a hand against his cheek, urging his head up. Oscar opens his eyes and looks straight into Zolf’s stormy green gaze, tumbling so deep that he fears he might drown.
“I’m not leaving because of you. You’re what I need, Oscar. But I’m not…” He sighs. “I’m not fucking ready.”
Zolf’s thumb deftly catches up the tear that tracks down his cheek.
“I am.”
“I know,” Zolf says. “I know. Wait for me?”
Oscar leans heavily into the support of Zolf’s palm and is the most honest he dares to be.
“Yes, darling. Always.”

“It’s absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious”
Is a quote from the actual Oscar Wilde from Lady Windermere's Fan.
Why can I hear it in Alex’s RQG Oscar voice!!!! 😆😆🤦♀️

"It's been really nice to slow down a bit."
a redraw of this piece i drew almost two years ago! (which is crazy)
[Image Description: Oscar Wilde from Rusty Quill Gaming sits on the edge of a pier at sunset, looking out at something off-screen. He is a pale, middle-aged human with shoulder-length white hair. He wears a long-sleeved lavender shirt with beige trousers and brown-and-white loafers. Wilde is smiling and looks relaxed. Waves crash against a sandy beach behind him. End ID]

The sweet/sour pleasure of an RQG relisten is realising how awful the party were to Wilde from almost the start.
Protect that boy. He's trying his best.
(He's a dick, but he's trying his best.)
