#m: the great gatsby

[fireworkss-exe]

firm believer in the "gatsby doesn't know nick's name and it's too late to ask so he just calls him old sport instead" theory

now that's what i call marketing

I really like this russian edition of classic books. Letting famous artists do the covers in YA style was such a simple but clever decision. According to the recent study the number of teenage readers increased, possibly thanks to these covers. I own traditional classics with blank covers but if I ever see one of these in the wild, it’ll probably make me go feral.

Here are some of my favs:

Dracula (art by Renibet)

2.Jane Eyre (art by Ulunii)

3. Little women (art by чаки чаки)

4. The Idiot (the hedgehog-omg-) (art by Xinshi)

5. Pride and Prejudice (art by Cactusute)

6. War and Peace (art by Xinshi)

7. Wuthering Heights (art by Renibet)

8. The Great Gatsby (art by NIKEL)

9. Frankenstein (art by Iren Horrors)

10. Crime and Punishment (art by REDwood)

11. Anna Karenina (art by Ulunii)

12. The Cherry Orchard (art by lewisite)

13. The Master and Margarita (art by Renibet)

Reading the great gatsby for the first time with absolutely no knowledge of what’s in there. did. did nick just watch myrtle get her nose broken & leave to go and sleep with the photographer

Nick talking about women: Yeah she had uh hair and eyes and stuff, that was pretty cool

Nick talking about Jay Gatsby: His hair was the color of rays of sunshine beaming against my body as I sunbathe on a brilliant summer’s day. His eyes sparkled like diamonds, blue and crystalline, with as much depth as the ocean itself. His smile could light up the darkest depths of Hell itself, I would trust him to lead me back up to the surface with one joyous grin

YOU!

hii! I'm the one who asked for the gatsby rundown! I forgot my password and got locked out of my account lmao, but I wanted to say thank you very much and you single handedly helped me pass that class <3

I can’t believed that worked- I mean I CAN, I put sincere thought and effort into my analysis I made at 7 am, but I’m so happy you passed your class!!

Godspeed on your academic journey, young anon. Enjoy your summer and if you ever need help again, there’s a significantly lower statistical chance I can actually help but I’ll do my best 👍

@askchestermckee and @ask-george-wilson

listen, sometimes it's more powerful for a fictional relationship to be a friendship precisely because friendship is devalued in comparison to romance. anyone can sacrifice themself for the love of their life. but for a friend? if anything, that kind of devotion can be even more moving than if the relationship is romantic. there's a real dramatic power to prioritising friendship in your narratives sometimes.

in honor of school being over look at my gatsby arttttt (done for a school project)

+ concept art (i didnt realize jordan was blonde sorry real gatsby fans 😔 also nick has historically inaccurate hair for shits and giggles i think the men’s hair of the time period looks really ugly)

and symbolic daisy + gatsby piece!!

also sorry i didnt have enough time to fit in nick/gatsby homoeroticism moment (each of these took me like 8 hours) 😔

Authors who post like this are so deliciously unhinged. At this point it’s not even a fic- it’s a literary hostage situation, and i am ✨sat✨ ☕️

@midnights-dragon I recall you writing some Gatsby

sorry im not done gatsbyposting. the nyc celebrations for its 100th anniversary are so uniquely deranged. like here you have a book that absolutely scathes new york parties & dress-up & entertainment & alcohol & careless wealthy east coast elites. and the way the city is celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of the most beautifully written & personally devastating literary tragedies this country has ever produced is by. offering 10% off gatsby-themed cocktails at luxury bars. hosting pay-to-attend 1920s themed costume balls in the wealthiest areas of midtown. setting up penthouse hotel suites to ostensibly resemble locations from the book. a few hours ago at an exclusive private event they had the cast of the glamorous broadway musical, all in designer clothes, light up the empire state building green to advertise their show where tickets cost up to $670. one of them said the green light ‘represents the beauty of the american dream.’ i think you could power all manhattan with energy generated from the rotational torque of f scott fitzgerald spinning wildly in his grave
