The brave man with a sword!

the picture of dorian gray (1890) - oscar wilde

Fling yourself on a divan

Look at your own reflection for 2 hours to marvel in the beauty of your sins

Write forbidden books

Let chocolate melt on the tip of your tongue

Don’t interact with straight people

Eat the petals of a sunflower

Change your opinion on philosophy and attack your former mentor

Wear silk on bare skin

Put an easel in your room and start a painting. Don’t finish it!

Wait for the moon come out. Cry at her beauty

Date a Libra (bonus points if you’re a libra yourself)

Write compromising gay letters

Drench yourself in french perfume

Put on lipstick and kiss marble or the surface of a mirror

If you have to interact with straight people: be insufferably snobby and say promiscuous, contradictory things that border on nonsensical

Hello readers and illustrators! As I read, I like to mark pages of description of the characters so that I'll be able to draw the characters in the books. I thought it might be nice to compile my notes and make them available for general use. Since I've added my first title, I'm ready to introduce the project. Here is the folder, to which I will continue to add new titles as I go.

I’m working on a personal reference project in which I catalogue passages of physical description in the books I read. Generally I like to refer back to these bits so that I have the finest mental image I can, but I also love having notes for if I want to do some character design or illustrating out of the books I read. If I were to compile this on a shareable document, would anyone be interested in using my notes?

Here’s an example of what it would look like (formatting details subject to change), using the notes I’m working on from The Count of Monte Cristo:
