Okay, Nick. We get it, you're a little bitch. You can stop now.

resurrecting the no-good, awful script adaptation we did for the second chapter of the great gatsby in high school… and yes, we actually had to act this out and film it for credit

as a human being with things like ethics & morals, no one deserves to be murdered by the state, no matter what they did

my love-hate relationship with one nick carraway

"You see, Gatsby's real name was--" No, Nick. That's his deadname. I don't need to hear it. You're being transphobic.

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

The Great Gatsby if Jay just took a hit out on Tom instead of going through that whole fucking mess

[agreatgatsbyblog]

I came across the most insane Facebook Marketplace listing I’ve ever seen. How does this even happen? Is this real? Should I buy some? How many? What do I do with them? These are the questions I’ve been pondering for hours now.

I like Nick because you couldn’t tell that man ANYTHING about his babygurl Jay. Uh uh. Throughout the whole book he’s just like, Jay is so cool, so strong! Oh he has such a tragic backstory! Daisy is so mean to abandon him! Why isn’t anyone loving him!?

Like, okay Nick, go kiss your husband. It’ll be legal soon.

Every time I go back to actually reread the book (instead of flicking through to whatever part I need), I continually underestimate just how fucking embarrassing it is. Like genuinely. It’s so much WORSE for nick if this isn’t romantic because good god??? How pathetic is that??? To say ALL of THAT in a HETEROSEXUAL manner????

Like I don’t think it occurred to Nick (or Fitzgerald, being actually completely honest and not for the bit) that straight guys don’t talk about each other like that. Like genuinely. Even back then, without our ~modern notions of sexuality~, that was strange. It would be LESS embarrassing if he was just in love with Jay romantically. And psychosexually fixated on him.

Like even the way he compliments people in general is just so. MLM-leaning. Almost any compliment he gives to women involves masculinity. Like. ?????????? If you arent gay it’s worse. It’s worse, Nick. Come on.

But given what we know about him and McKee now it’s…hard to imagine Fitzgerald wasn’t trying to work through something using Nick.

“The familiar expression held no more familiarity than the hand which reassuringly brushed my shoulder.” And yet it stuck with you to a point where you felt the need to mention it years later?

Me, someone who has read this book more than anyone should, reading it to find out it’s a tragedy again:
