 "I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed in that regard. Sheepskin is all the rage in wolf society these days." ❤ ✂ ⚓ ➷ [artist]  In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel. Living in the garden of evil, Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed. Shining like a fiery beacon, You got that medicine I need Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly. Put your hands on my waist, do it softly. Me and God we don’t get along, so now I sing. No one’s gonna take my soul away, Living like Jim Morrison. Headed towards a f***ed up holiday. Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing, F*** yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want It's innocence lost. Innocence lost. In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel, lookin' to get f***ed hard. Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer, Life imitates art You got that medicine I need Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please I don't really wanna know what's good for me God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'. When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy, 'Cause life imitates art. If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby? You tell me life isn't that hard. |
| Dorian Gray The Picture of Dorian Gray | ||||||||
| Dorian seems very charming and social, if a bit old fashioned, but some of the more weary residents of the mansion don't trust him. They have good reason not to, given Dorian's infamy, his history, and his sins. Really, he should be grateful some people don't bother looking for his novel. However, his guilt keeps coming back to haunt him, even if his cursed portrait was left behind when he was whisked away. Wonderland has its own way of reminding Dorian of his conscience. A maddening way. Thankfully, Wonderland also offers beautiful distractions, futuristic curiosities, and old habits to keep him somewhat sane. Since nobody really knows him here, and time stands still at home, Dorian is looking to find new tastes and companions in this mad world. Hasn't he learned to be careful what he wishes for? |

"Will you walk a little faster?"
Said a whiting to a snail,
"There's a porpoise close behind us,
And he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters
And the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle -
Will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you,
Won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you,
Won't you, won't you join the dance?"
"You can really have notion
How delightful it will be
When they take us up and throw us,
With the lobsters, out to sea!"
But the snail replied, "Too far, too far!"
And gave a look askance -
Said he thanked the whiting kindly,
But he would not join the dance.
Would not, could not, would not,
Could not, would not join the dance.
Would not, could not, would not,
Could not, could not join the dance.
"What matters it how far we go?"
His scaly friend replied,
"There is another shore, you know,
Upon the other side.
The further off from England
The nearer is to France -
Then turn not pale, beloved snail,
But come and join the dance."
Penny Dreadful
Dorian doesn't realize how similar he and the man Victor knows is, but he does find Victor's cool demeanor and vague threats interesting. Dorian will, on occasion, come to Victor for advice or to try and break him out of his shell, but for the most part, they've agreed to go about their merry ways. When they do get to speak, however, it seems to turn into a war of words against Victor's nigh-impenetrable wall of wit and disdain.

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critics saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I'm a kunst
Then suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me

It's an intelligent machine, which is highly remarkable. Mettaton seems to share the same views on hedonism while maintaining a high profile acting career and managing a successful franchise in his home world. A flirtatious, teasing robot. Highly enjoyable to talk to.
However, Dorian's a little worried about how dangerous the robot could be. Mettaton has previously mentioned how exciting people's deaths could be, and while Dorian might have agreed with him to spite his guilt, it appears the robot is incapable of feeling guilt. Or loneliness. Or real companionship. Hopefully, the robot doesn't suddenly decide to slaughter him one day.

You're the Jerk, Jerk, Jerk of the Week!
(Woo-hoo)
You're a jerk and it's your week
You really outdid yourself
(Woo-hoo)
Like a crazy Super Jerk.
You're probably a big jerk every week,
But This Week...
You're the Jerk of the Week!
(Woo-hoo)
(Jerk-Jerk-Jerkedy-Jerk-Je-Jerk)
Spoken: Aw, yeah. You're the jerk of the week!
I'm looking at you, buddy.

My head was warm
My skin was soaked
I called your name 'til the fever broke
When I awoke
The moon still hung
The night so black that the darkness hummed
I raised myself
My legs were weak
I prayed my mind be good to me
An awful noise
Filled the air
I heard a scream in the woods somewhere
A woman's voice!
I quickly ran
Into the trees with empty hands
A fox it was
He shook afraid
I spoke no words, no sound he made
His bone exposed
His hind was lame
I raised a stone to end his pain
What caused the wound?
How large the teeth?
I sure knew eyes were watching me
The creature lunged
I turned and ran
To save a life I didn't have
Deer in the chase
There as I flew
Forgot all prayers of joining you
I clutched my life
And wished it kept
My dearest love I'm not done yet
How many years
I know I'll bear
I found something in the woods somewhere

Back in Wonderland, Tim has neither confirmed nor denied anything from the event. Rather, he dances around questions and avoids talking about himself. This only serves to make Dorian curious. He wants to get to know him better, even though it will be a slow and difficult progress. Something's gotta give at some point.

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going
And you said
It was like fire around the brim
Burning solid,
Burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were an inch from the edge of this bed
I drive you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
Gravity Falls
Smoke of the poppies fill the sky.
Was this part of a draconian dream,
Or is this a horror best left unseen?
At this point, it's very hard to tell.

Stoplight, lock the door.
Don't look back.
Undress in the dark,
And hide from you,
All of you.
You'll never know the way your words have haunted me.
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me.
You don't know me, now or ever.
You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you.
Wake up in a dream.
Frozen fear.
All your hands on me.
I can't scream.
I can't scream.
I can't escape the twisted way you think of me.
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep.
I don't sleep.
I can't save your life,
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting.
I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides.
Dorian's Mirror
Dorian was sure he had left his portrait behind, but this being who accuses him of things worse than murder may be worse.
Alice
¿ ☠ ➷
[artist]
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning for you
This kingdom
Good riddance
Her freedom
And innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")

Initially, her appearance frightened Mr. Gray, but upon learning that she was indeed the same Alice who ventured into Wonderland, he wants to know what happened to her.

Weird, ooo!
Weird Science
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces and
Magic from the hand
We're makin'
Things I've never seen before
Behind bolted doors
Talent and imagination
Not what teacher said to do
Makin' dreams come true
Living tissue, warm flesh
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces (and)
Bits and pieces (and)
Magic and technology
Voodoo dolls and chants
Electricity We're makin'
Fantasy and microchips
Shooting from the hip
Something different
We're makin'
Pictures from a magazine
Diagrams and charts
Mending broken hearts (and makin')
Something like a recipe
Bits and pieces (and)
Bits and pieces (and)
my creation--Is it real?
It's my creation--I do not know
No hesitation--No heart of gold
Just flesh and blood--I do not know

On the other, she sometimes doesn't seem to know what she's doing.
She's the one who created Mettaton, but she seems to have forgotten to program some empathy into her machine. Also, she allegedly likes something called "anime."

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
Go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist
Look at me still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing science, and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead, I'll be still alive

That being said, he is apparently close friends with Alphys and McGucket. Thank god there are other scientists in Wonderland to keep this mad scientist in check.

If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne
Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn
These are the things that I never will learn
These are the things I never will learn
I live in the shrubbery for that's all I crave
I don't want these excitements to see me to my grave
I can live life in vacuums for years with no drink
And put up with hardships more than you can think
And put up with hardships more than you can think
If I shed all my liquid and let myself dry out
I'll shrivel and sleep for some 15 odd years
I'd wake up come water and get on with living
With time in my pocket to pass by the day
For I am a tardigrade and I'll stay at home
I'd not trade it for anything, not a knife, a cup or a throne
Well all I want is my shrubbery and my little patch of moss
With my whisky in the cabinet
And my feet all clothed in socks
And my feet clothed in socks
Gravity Falls
Oddly, he has mentioned that Ford was a friend of his. Weather he is still on agreeable terms with the scientist's judgement or not is uncertain.
