redraw done in @ice-tin’s style!
See, I've already read The Great Gatsby (before I saw the Broadway musical so I could have some background on the show) and I love that my class is reading The Great Gatsby this year and I'm just like:
"Yes... join me and my brainrot"
Like I'm starting some kind of fucking cult.
I think that maybe the reason English teachers don't like me is because they're all too scared to admit that most characters in classic literature are gay. Luckily, I have no problem saying that.
The Great Gatsby + Tumblr Text Posts Part 8
NOOO WAYYYY MY ENGLISH TEACHER MADE THIS AN OPTION ON A TEST, I FUCKINGG LOVE HIM (he also spelled nick's last name wrong)
The beard couple of all time
The Great Gatsby Name Thoughts
- Obviously everyone talks about Daisy’s name, but I’ll say it again. Daisies represent several things in flower language such as purity, innocence, new beginnings, joy, and cheerfulness. Also daisies are white, green, and yellow, which are the main color motifs in the book. White (Innocence/Purity), Green (Hope/Envy), and Yellow (Wealth/Corruption)
- Nobody ever talk’s about Nick’s flower name. Caraways are flowers that represent faithfulness, maturity, and rationality.
- Jays are birds that represent strength, confidence, and communication, which is maybe why James Gatz adopted the name.
- Jordan and Baker were both car brands at the time, representing freedom.
- Tom’s family name is ironic because despite his boasting about being a “proud Nordic”, Buchanan is a Scottish surname. Hypocrisy of rich people, anyone?
Anyways, I’m not F. Scott Fitzgerald so maybe some of these are coincidental, idk.
Right here’s the squeakquel for the characters that I’ve simped for in the past and present because I’ve missed out WAY too much on the first one. Also fun fact Lloyd was the first character I’ve ever simped for, younger me was tasteless because Cole was rIGHT THERE-
@velveteensugarcoat I actually included Alfred Molina Doc Ock on this one, consider this an early birthday present.
Jordan and Spencer fight.

GUESS WHO JUST SAW GREAT GATSBY
(review under the cut)
IT WAS SO FANTABULICIOUS OMG
Eva Noblezada and Sam Pauly were out😔 but their understudies were great! I didn't really like Eva's understudy that well but she was great.
There was no Natsby whatsoever, but i think (particularly at the end) they did a good job portraying how Gatsbys "love" was more of an obsession.
THINGS THAT I LIKED LOVED:
