#nick carraway
gems i’ve come across while editing:
“Jay ignored Nick’s comment, instead laughing stupidly at one bear which was winking and holding a sign that said ‘Hey Honey’. Dear god, he was in love with an idiot.”

I revamped an old natsby piece I never really liked and fixing it made me do a happy artist sigh
Here’s the link to the old one if anyone wants to compare and contrast

mlm and wlw solidarity
I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head since someone (i think it was Mal) sent a photo of two couples like this in the Gatsby Discord, and i stayed up until 4 am to finish. So have some Jordan/Daisy and Natsby solidarity content.
Jordan always gives me sporty alternative prep vibes (its about the golf), so i tried to show that in her outfit. I figure Nick is wearing a nerdy or witty graphic tee under the flannel. Jay has bisexual beads and Daisy has daisy tights.

I take great pleasure in reminding other gatsby creators of cowboy shame out of the blue
i.e. I see something cowboy related, I send it to Dweeb and/or Wes
(drumroll please)
A new chapter is up for And They Were Roommates! Like, an actual new chapter. Not part of the rewrite.

“You’re worth the whole damn bunch”
This is a little different from my usual style, but I’m super proud of how it turned out!

I have an update for two out of three of my ongoing fics ready to post as soon as I get home! Thinking about posting a snippet for one of them in the mean time
obsessed with this specific subset of classic novels
The great Gatsby,Baz Luhrmann(2013):
PS: Pictures not mine, credits to the owner.
Rating: 9/10
- Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
- All the bright precious things fade so fast… and they don’t come back.
- Well, I don’t care. He gives large parties, and I like large parties - they’re so intimate. Small parties, there isn’t any privacy.
- I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love…
- I hope she’ll be a fool - that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
- Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street boomed a steady golden roar. The parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the models were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired. Making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them.
