gatsby at his own funeral LMAOO

[mikewheelerisaqueerler]

but the three people who died at the end of the Great Gatsby were the only characters from poor backgrounds - despite Gatsby's immense wealth and reputation, no matter how many parties he threw or millionaires he made friends with, he could never escape his fate.

Daisy and Tom and Nick all moved on as if nothing happened, because they were the people the American Dream was tailored to, those were the people who benefitted from a meritocratic society, and Gatsby was too poor in his history, as were Myrtle and her husband, so they had to die - they had to be discarded because that green light was never supposed to be within their reach.

❝ Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. ❞

Felt silly and took some photos of the little guys; but so far guys everyone has been so nice and I can’t wait to actually start interacting with you guys more 🫶 (Yes this blog will be primarily for the plushies BUT I may post any art and fan-fiction I create here too!)

it’s very important to me that when people ship Nick and gatsby they don’t ignore gatsby’s love for daisy

Nick is, according to most interpretations, gay. At the end of chapter two it’s heavily implied that he sleeps with Mr McKee. His descriptions of men are much more detailed and loving than his descriptions of women, including that of Jordan. He loves talking about gatsby and that smile.

But gatsby doesn’t seem to perceive Nick in the same way. Gatsby is love with daisy, an unattainable metaphor for the American dream. She’s superficial and even in the kindest interpretation of her character, scared enough of facing consequences that she letsgatsby die for her. Gatsby doesn’t care, he loves her regardless. She’s beautiful and cruel and married and will never actually run away with him but he doesn’t care.

If you ship Nick and gatsby, I think it’s important that this unattainability of daisy is the attraction that gatsby builds his relationship with her on. Nick is the opposite. He’s socially awkward and yes, initially a means to an end, that genuinely loves gatsby (romantically or platonically)

The ship is great and I think it’s kind of book accurate (Nick loves gatsby fs), but it’s important that shipping the characters doesn’t erase the messaging of the book, that being the unattainability of daisy and the American dream
