It's the big c3p0, and to mark the occasion I'm drawing a few melodramatic characters. Exhibit B: Nick Carraway (and Jordan and Tom)

DAISY FAY, the great gatsby I'm the girl of his American dreams.

"X character didn't truly love Z character, they just loved the idea of them", what does that even mean? Especially when it's used for stories with a very clear-cut, in your face romantic theme/undertone. Like, what does that mean? How does one distinguish the two? Did romeo love the idea of juliet or the real juliet? Did gatsby truly love daisy or did he love the idea of daisy? Who will tell us? Gatsby did lose his life for that woman so why does it actually matter if he loved an "idealized" version of her or the "real her"? Is it really important for the story? Does it actually change anything or is it just a catchphrase? Can you clearly distinguish the people you have loved for what they truly were, from the people you had merely idealized? Even if you can, does this distinction make your feelings for them any less real and intense and impactful for your life? Like I don't care if I loved the idea of someone or the real person, all I care about is what I felt and how it affected me and changed my life. That's what fiction does, it gives you the ability to connect with real, intense, unfiltered human emotions which are an integral part of human experience. Fiction is not therapy. Please stop sanitizing art thank you

Silena Beauregard is quite litteraly the most relatable person in the world as I too would betray all my siblings and that whole camp if charlie bushnell asked me to

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”
