everytime i remember nick goode has the devil’s power and he’s still the loser sheriff of losertown i get so pissed, like that’s what happened when your vocation is to be a male wife but you go for evil, you’re bad at it

so sick & tired of people saying daisy buchanan did not deserve jay gatsby, first of all, daisy owed that man NOTHING!! (not even her love). was she selfish? yeah. back then women had to be selfish to survive. she was a woman who made a choice and just because it wasn’t the one he wanted, doesn’t mean it wasn’t hers to make. she chose survival and somehow that made her the villain.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out WHY people hate daisy and no one. NO ONE. else

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

one detail I love about the 2013 adaptation of the great gatsby is that you can tell tom was about to crash out for real when he thought daisy and jay had been seeing each other for five years

You could feel the tension during this scene.

the different ways that jay calls people "old sport" depending on who they are is so funny to me.he calls nick old sport like it's a pet name but when he's calling tom old sport he says it like it's a very hurtful slur and i think that's awesome

i’d never hate daisy buchanan because the two men who claimed to love her only saw her as a prize to be won. she was never their equal, only their reflection of power, status or hope.

Chelsea could have saved Rick from going down a path of revenge and destruction by fucking him into an old man nap but she wanted to party, and I respect it

Tom is "a guy who embodies the ultra-wealthy kind of characters of that era, and he is married to a woman who actually had a chance at love with someone who didn’t have that money. Instead, she chose Tom. I’m fascinated by that. I understand that there’s a love there, but there’s also something deeper about the culture of money.”

Joel Edgerton

“She finds herself in a loveless place, so I don’t think she can be happy. I think she’s very unsure. In the novel, when she’s younger and Gatsby disappears, it says that she needed some force to move her, whether it be wealth or a man, and that force was Tom Buchanan.”

“Her ultimate tragedy is that she’s completely lost unless she has a man to lead her. And that’s why she goes between these two men. Tom appears to be the stronger force, but Gatsby comes along and sweeps her away. And when that relationship starts to disintegrate, Tom trumps the whole thing by revealing Gatsby’s desperation and near madness. Tom doesn’t have what she wants, but what she needs.  So I don’t think she’s happy at the end."
