I'm a slave to my emotions, to my likes, to my hatred of boredom, to most of my desires.

Fragmento de Scott Fitzgerald: Cansado, cansado con nada, cansado con todo, cansado con el peso del mundo que nunca elegí soportar.

Every chapter in Reverse 1999 is based on a book title:

In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway

Tender is the Night by Scott Fitzgerald

Nouvelles et Textes pour Rien by Samuel Beckett

El Oro de los Tigres by Jorge Luis Borges

And I want to point out that Tender is the Night is a story based on the author's tumultuous relationship with his wife who, btw, looked A LOT like a certain someone:

Keep it going! Call your congressmen and senators!

Was reading up on the homoeroticism between Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby and remembered several things. First off, that Nick was implied to have had sex with a feminine man at an orgy. Second, that Jordan Baker is described as a masculine and free spirited kind of woman, one who pursues sports and competition, the way women were not typically allowed to do.

And third, that Fitzgerald originally had a passage about Nick being "amorously pursued" by a former male acquaintance, but deleted it.

So.

Nick was very gay/bisexual.

And then I went further into that rabbit hole and found out that Fitzgerald's wife thought he was gay and claimed he had an affair with Ernest Hemingway. And also that he flirted with men and described himself as "half feminine."

Which was wild to find out, btw. They didn't teach me that in ap lit.

Angry, and half in love with you, and tremendously sorry, I turned away.

LOKIUS IN THE '20S

[kcuf-ad]

Imagine being this man for a moment.

Some random white man opened your door for no reason, closes it, and then walks in, sits on your damn floor saying "Excuse me." after thinking the entire building his new place for the Guild and then starts laughing at the show you are watching.

That must have been so weird.

Rereading Gatsby! (Cause I’ve been listening to the musical nooooonstop :) )

Took it as an opportunity to try out some new texture brushes. I guess this is loosely how I saw them back in like… 2015 when I read it in English Lit haha.

But in order we got: Jordan, Gatsby, Daisy, Nick, and Tom! :D
