Modern tgg au where gatsby is a movie pirate instead of a bootlegger

A profession involving breaking a law that is frequently flaunted by the general population, that despite being illegal most people do not consider amoral, allowing people to illegally access the goods at his parties. It all adds up

#he and wolfsheim run a sketchy piracy website that most of his money comes from #his parties still have alcohol of course but now they also have showings of movies he absolutely doesnt have the rights to #plus the movies could still be referred to as “bootleg”#rip prohibition #the great gatsby #jay gatsby #unknown stuff

Ok so I was reading the Wikipedia entry on nick carraway (as one does) and in the footnotes there was this quote from one of fitzgerald's short stories:

"[W]e are all queer fish, queerer behind our faces and voices than we want any one to know or than we know ourselves. When I hear a man proclaiming himself an 'average, honest, open fellow,' I feel pretty sure that he has some definite and perhaps terrible abnormality which he has agreed to conceal".

So this is literally describing nick right??? Nick "one of the few honest people I have ever known" carraway?? He's literally calls himself a "normal person" at the start of the book?? Like this sounds exactly like something he would say, i wouldnt bat an eye if somewhere in the book he word for word says "i am an average, open, honest fellow"?? Of course, we all know already that this guy has something wrong with him. Good to know that fitzgerald agrees. But yknow what fitzgerald (and nick) would probably consider to be a definite and perhaps terrible abnormality. Liking men. Send post

#not to mention the use of the word queer #which had actually started being used to mean gay by this time #but for my own sanity i'll assume he didn't mean it in that way #the great gatsby #nick carraway #unknown stuff #unknown types

My friends keep falling in love with me and on the one hand I'm flattered and on the other hand it sucks because it fundamentally changes the relationship on their end while I just feel the exact same (context: I'm aro)

And it doesnt help that I've been constantly fighting the "you two are dating/in love" allegations from all sides since the age of like 8 (because heavens forbid a man and a woman be close friends and not be romantically involved), only for the friend to in a way prove them right and. I don't fault my friends for this obviously it's out of their control but. I just wish it would stop happening or at least be confined to only acquaintances

#maybe i'm exaggerating b/c to my knowledge I have only stolen 3 hearts #but that's too many for my taste #and i am very close to 2 of those people #aromantic #aroace #aro #unknown types #unknown stuff

But nick says he has only been drunk twice in his life, and nick is an honorable man
