I FINALLY HAVE TIME TO SEND U AN ASK ABOUT THIS LOL

but I LOVED THE GREAT GATSBY. It’s a really good book. But i honestly I am shocked by how many hate Daisy 😭😭 like I feel like her first line about her daughter yet said almost everything about her. I am surprised about the fact that I can’t really hate these characters. Like they are written in a way that I can’t really seem to hate them because the book incorporated scenes that make even Tom look sympathetic. That could jsut be me though. I also didn’t expect the casual implications of Nick being queer and having a sexual encounter, it’s actually pretty nice but def unexpected because for some reason I always saw the author as jsut every white man author before I read the book. (Terrible ik)

Loved the book, left me very unwell after I will be thinking about it for days to come (I’m getting my own copy one way or another)

Btw I also think ur a very very banana yellow mutual <33333

UGH SORRY I'M LATE TOO LOL😭

also YES this is one of my favs, I've got my three thrifted annotated copies😭😭I personally all of the characters are likeable, and I think this is purely because it's in nicks POV, otherwise they're all not good. He is The unreliable narrator, and I LOVE his narration, I chose to write an essay about him once cause I think he's so interesting and has such a huge impact on how we see the story, despite not impacting the actual story a lot😭also yes!!! I think I literally reblogged smthn the other day about his queerness 😭😭and about the author (I'm OBSESSED with finding out about the authors of books don't mind me) it's actually very VERY thought that he ALLEGEDLY (for legal reasons🙄he did) stole lots of his wife's works. It's known knowledge that they were very bad to each other, they cheated on each other, she was mentally ill, he was an alcoholic, just overall horrible relationship. Anyways, she was in and out of mental hospitals a lot, but was very creative. And she said that she recognized a lot of sections of the works from her personal journals and letters, and a lot was just based on her. It's theorized he plagiarized A LOT off of her. Also yeah, I don't like how people think daisy all so horrible, sure she bailed, but also every person in there were equally as bad. Nick is very good at hiding things through his prose, reminds me of tsh. Anyways, I love this book sosososoooo much! I'm glad you did too!! I have SO many thoughts lol

Literally me

stop saying regulus black is everyone second choice it's very disrespectful to barty crouch jr, who is willing to die and live only for him.
