Francis' biggest flaw is his attachment to comfort above all else. he doesn't have to get married. he could rebel by letting his family cut him off, get a job (and it's the 80s, a basic education could get you a livable wage back then) and support himself, Richard even suggests it, but he is ultimately unwilling to abandon his class bound comforts for true happiness, making him as trapped by his own actions (or in this case lack of action) as the rest of the group

THE SNOW in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.

Richard Papen is truly god's strongest soldier because imagine being in love with every single member of your friend group and then learning said friends regularly host hedonistic rituals in which they all sleep together and to which you alone are not invited

Ah yes, my favourite game: erotic fanfiction or classic literature.

"Two shining, arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body - he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor."

This is Nick Carraway describing his cousin's husband btw. This book was made in 1924 and the closet is still glass.

Nick talking about women: Yeah she had uh hair and eyes and stuff, that was pretty cool

Nick talking about Jay Gatsby: His hair was the color of rays of sunshine beaming against my body as I sunbathe on a brilliant summer’s day. His eyes sparkled like diamonds, blue and crystalline, with as much depth as the ocean itself. His smile could light up the darkest depths of Hell itself, I would trust him to lead me back up to the surface with one joyous grin
