#Nick/gatsby

Confession time: the only reason English teachers teach The Great Gatsby is so we can continue to fuel the Nick/Gatsby ao3 tag. It is our lifeblood.

If nick truly was a queer coded character who was in the closet the whole book and ended it with “tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further, until one fine morning-“ then I really don’t even know how to respond to that without crying

When I was a senior in high school I wrote a meaningful letter in my best friend’s year book and signed off with “they’re a rotten crowd. You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together”…

HOW DID I NOT KNOW I WANTED TO KISS WOMEN?!?!?!?!?

nick starting one paragraph with "I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited." and then beginning the very next paragraph with "I had actually been invited." ok nick WE GET IT you were fucking invited. we get it, your pretty neighbor invited you to come to his home and you were the only one who he personally wanted there which makes you feel special because you're gay. we fucking get it

[aniisol]

this is it right

[nation-wide-is-bi-your-side]

gay people will say anything but i love you. the fuck do you mean “they’re a rotten crowd. you’re worth the whole damn bunch put together”

"old sport" is a pet name.

[sophie-jane-silver]

"Show, dont tell" is one of the most famous rules is writing

In the great gatsby we've been told jay's in love with daisy, but the characters showed us that actually nick and gatsby should make out, live together and have 3 dogs

Never ignore your characters's wishes

there is something deeply wrong with nick carraway in gatsby. motherfucker has been disassocating probably since the end of the war. he watches a marriage almost implode in front of him and in the stunned silence afterwards tells the awful husband, "oh yeah i just remembered today's my birthday"

i dont think casual and high school level discussions focus on how deeply weird nick must be in person and how that affects scenes? i vaguely remember analyses usually focusing on daisy and tom and gatsby but they all use nick as a barely functioning soundboard for horrible behavior and when he doesn't say anything are probably thinking "well nick seems so chill he would stop me if this was Truly Weird" and nick is meanwhile staring off into the distance thinking about what he ate last tuesday and that green eyed bilboard

edit: right and the accident literally happens next page so the weirdness of nick is probably skipped over by most readers
