There Is Something About Classic Literature That Hits Different - Which Is Not To Say That Modern Literature

There is something about classic literature that hits different - which is not to say that modern literature lacks depth - there is just something so incredible about reading something and knowing that these same words were consumed by people decades, centuries before you took your first breath. And they loved and felt the stories the way you do& despite all the time separating you you’re still connected…

Spot the difference

Been a while since my last Good Omens art 😊

A speedpaint video of this will be available at my Patreon soon! you can also find prints of my art at my Store

A comic for english class, we had to make a one page comic about a queer theme, so I made something about the struggle of getting dressed when you don’t know how you want to be perceived :’) (I wish we could just go outside naked, it would save me a lot of time in the morning)

very proud about the anatomy in this page??? Especially that last panel :)

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.

It's funny how a silly fictional character can come into your life and then take over your entire brain chemistry
