In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England.

5SOS5 is a masterpiece and a brilliant fifth studio album. I cried, choked, and died when I did my first listen and since then, it's the only thing I listen to. "Bad Omens" is a godsend, "Caramel" is angelic, and "Bleach" is underrated.

I'm also kind of getting into Lana Del Rey, which is interesting!

The Dahmer show on Netflix is kind of good... Partner Track is interesting especially as an aspiring Asian female lawyer. Justin <333

Recommend shows/books/music because I have nothing new.

Oh and my LOVE Young Royals season 2 is coming November 1. Don't talk to me on that day. I'll be incommunicado.
