in the nicest and most non-confrontational way possible. i feel like some of you think that anything that isn't directly openly spelled out for you within a story is "missed potential" or "unexplored." like. sometimes there are implied narratives. sometimes the point is that you as the reader are supposed to think and draw your own conclusions and participate in the story. the writers not directly spelling every little detail out for you doesn't mean that the story is poorly written or missed its own plot details somehow. PLEASE.

#if i get one more comment referring to zelda's draconification as wasted potential im going to lose it for real #that's not unexplored potential that is THE ENTIRE STORY. JUST BECAUSE THEY DONT BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH IT DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT THERE #i get this all the time with just like. link's trauma in general too.#like people will ask me 'do you think they should explore link's trauma more' and im like. they do #that's what the games are about. it's all there. they just don't directly state that that's what they're doing because theyre expecting you #as a reader to ENGAGE WITH THE DAMN TEXT BEYOND SURFACE LEVEL. UGHHHHHHH #WHATEVER. whatever #like i feel like some of you would read the great gatsby and be like #'there was a lot of missed potential to talk about the failure of the american dream' GIRL IT'S RIGHT THERE. JUST THINK A LITTLE #personal #and yeah obviously its not that deep its a video game but like. i am not making shit up when i write my comics and analysis.#I AM ENGAGING WITH THE TEXT. AS IS GENERALLY EXPECTED OF A READER #ugh ok whatever. im done now sorry

After all these years…

Finally, I have them all.

Is it odd to have three copies of The Great Gatsby?

Perhaps. But in all seriousness, it's helpful to have a physical copy or two while looking for codes 🧐

#gravity falls #bill cipher #the book of bill #book of bill #the great gatsby #i feel awful for actual Great Gatsby fans who have to deal with their tag flooded with GF stuff #sorry y’all!

Disco Elysium political alignments based on historical graphic design styles!

Communist: Soviet Constructivist

Ultraliberal: Art Deco

Fascist: War Propaganda

Moralist: Swiss/International

#disco elysium #harry dubois #harrier du bois #graphic design #mine #god i miss my history of gd class it was so awesome #theres a lot of things that have been codified as the 'art deco' style that werent actually that prevalent in design from the 1930s #the ultraliberal poster is specifically inspired by the artist AM cassandre #i feel like his work is very definitive of the art deco style and feels way more authentic than like. the great gatsby movie or smth #i was not particularly excited to do the fascist one but i was so inspired by this concept and i wanted a complete set #i used american and british wwii posters as reference

i think that the way the great gatsby musical is portrayed is somewhat through the lens of how gatsby saw the story.

#he saw his life as revolving around daisy and his love for her #i feel like that could be why some of the things were written the way they were #also it’s difficult to have someone like nick narrate the story when it’s a musical and includes events he wasn’t present for #but it is also something important for people to realize that nick was never really the main character of the story #he was telling gatsbys story and what ended up happening in that one summer #the great gatsby musical #jay gatsby #daisy buchanan #nick carraway #jeremy jordan #eva noblezada

just genuinely SHOT UP out of bed and SCREECHED because i finally connected that THE GREAT GATSBY IS THE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR BOOK. which in and of itself is a warning about how unreliable bill’s narration is. so when he’s like “boo reading” he KNOWS that an actual in depth analysis of the great gatsby would warrant a reevaluation of his own trustworthiness as a storyteller. why did this take me SO LONG TO GET

#book of bill #shutupmac #gravity falls #bill cipher #the book of bill #i feel INSANE #FINALLY MY GREAT GATSBY HYPERFIX COMES IN HANDY!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!!!!!!

you’re so art deco out on the floor shining like gun metal cold and unsure baby you’re so ghetto you’re looking to score when they all say ‘hello’ you try to ignore them cause you want more, why? you want more, why?

made a sim for @acuar-io’s decades challenge on discord!!

#ts4 #s4 #simblr #sims 4 #ts4 simblr #s4 simblr #the sims 4 #my sims:#i feel like i could be off by a few years but i intended for her to be a flapper girl from the 1920s #i should've downloaded a cigarette holder or something but i forgot whoops #i downloaded other cc for men in the 1920s #cause i wanted to make nick carraway and jay gatsby.. obviously in love because i think the great gatsby is a thinly veiled queer classic #like nick carraway is so bisexual.. but you know i also have this disease where i need to force homoeroticism into everything everywhere #i feel like i should clarify that i mean the great gatsby book. not the movie. never seen it. i do not like leonardo decaprio #okay i'm done cause that's not what this post was even about.. i like reading my bad

joseph is like an unreliable narrator from a 19th century novel. surrounded by big personalities, missing obvious red flags, monologing to himself about what’s going on, and being super wrong every time (to the audience/readers frustration)

he said he’s the star of the show and it’s like yeah. but only in the way jonathan harker is the protagonist of dracula

#or nick carraway is of the great gatsby #I need him to remain in the house not because I like him #but bc he’s my cringe fail audience surrogate #bb26 #I think half my posts are me trying to parse my feelings toward joseph #it’s net positive for sure but not in any sort of game related way lmao

gatsby designs. does this make any sense.

#covers ears and shields face so the audience does not throw tomatoes to get me off stage #extra things:#if youre even looking at the tags:#they all have some white on them as like a connecting link #jordans hair is supposed to be kind of orangey brown because nick says its like an autumn leaf and. yea #toms overcoat represents like power/anonymity/detachment #im too tired to change it but if i did id make his overcoat gold and undervest black as like his inner feelings cuz. fear #nick and daisy both have little matching moles #and nick wears a tie about the color of her hair #daisy wears her headpiece with gold and black for tom #showing how even as shes with gatsby toms in her mind kind of like? a shield #daisy's not as tanned as any of them for her being kind of stowed in her comfortability of. riches you know #while nick/gatsby were in the war #jordan does sports etc #they tan!#the great gatsby #great gatsby #jett talks (me)#jett art (me)#nick carraway #jay gatsby #daisy buchanan #tom buchanan #jordan baker

Nick Carraway: Gatsby is someone I cannot help but have contempt for, he is literally the embodiment of everything I find deplorable in our society-

Jay Gatsby: *dies*

Nick Carraway: you know what, he might have been bad, but everyone else is ten times worse! He believed in his dream, and I admired him for it! Scratch everything I said before, I loved him and I will lament his end forever!

#scott fitzgerald #the great gatsby #nick caraway #jay gatsby #crack but also text #I know that the joke is that nick is head over heels and he is biased #he is initially dazzled but he sobers up rather quickly once he understands how gatsby became rich #he knows who gatsby is and pities him #gatsby's death washes away the less positive feelings nick had towards him

would you like a non spoiler list of things i liked about gatsby: an american myth since i finally got home and am processing

#not pjo #chitter chatter #throws up repeatedly.#I figured out why I liked it so much btw #it feels like someone did a deep analysis of the great gatsby and then made it into a musical #in high school my teachers plan for gatsby involved us not knowing what happened and making a lot of guesses #but I had read it in middle school for book club so she told me to just. do something else.#I ended up tracking all the flowers mentioned in the book and analyzing it through flower language #I feel like me and the creative team would get along you know

Song List for Gatsby: An American Myth

Yesterday was the official opening night for Florence Welch's Gatsby at the ART and I noticed it hasn't been posted here so here's the official song list! Note that this is an entirely different adaptation of The Great Gatsby than the one currently on Broadway and this list is still subject to change in the future.

ACT 1:

Welcome To The New World

Golden Girl

Valley Of Ashes

Shakin Off The Dust

New York Symphony

One Heart Beat

Deathless Song

Feels Like Hell

A Smile Like That Is Rare

Month Of Love

I've Changed My Mind

Pouring Down

Mr. Nobody From Nowhere

Act 2:

Just A Little Party

Welcome To The New World (Reprise)

Driving My Way

What Is This Worship

What Will We Do With Ourselves?

What Of Love, What Of God

The Dream Fought On

The Damage That You Do

Vigil

America, She Breaks

Pouring Down (Reprise)

We Beat On

#disclaimer I have not seen the show #this is from my digging through online reviews and updates lol #feel free to discuss with me !#I have a pretty good idea of who sings each song but I didnt wanna post cuz I cannot yet confirm #these song names are already insane #gatsby an american myth #gatsby musical #ART #Boston #florence welch #the great gatsby #rachel chavkin #thomas bartlett #audio when
