Hear Me Out…

Picture this….a 1920s Gatsby AU where Zach is Jay and he’s pining over Violet who’s Daisy, but Violet’s not an ass and leaves Travis (Tom). Violet owns up to her feelings for Zach and commits to him. She lets her husband Travis have his side chick in return for a quiet divorce and custody of their daughter.

And… Zach doesn’t die! They end up together living happily ever after…oh and the daughter Daisy had, well with Zach and Violet that’s actually Zach’s child, Travis never knew it. And Nick’s character is Jimmy Z or Chris or Martin, and Jordan is Aviva or Koki.

Yes this is an outlandish idea, but I like it. This movie means the world to me, and the book was one I hated in high school but have come to appreciate as an adult…I’d be butchering the storyline but I hope no one will hate for it!

I can just imagine Zach throwing all these elaborate parties hoping Violet will show up….he buys the house across from Violet, and the scene with the shirts 😭, oh it’s beautiful…

And the music, so many of the songs are already ones I use for Zach and Violet inspo!

I’m tempted to write something about this now…what do you all think?

just realized how to best pitch Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood—it’s got the vibes if The Great Gatsby was around 100% more lesbian and 200% more avant-garde

I need JR’s name to be Jay because he is so gatsby coded

FUCK OFF THIS IS BRILLIANT, HOW DARE

YO — GATSBY AU?? JR IN A JAY GATSBY ROLE WITH THE READER IN A ROLE AKIN TO DAISY BUCHANAN (without the terrible character flaws)

Personally I love the earlier version of The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, and Sam Waterston, I find that there’s more romance and allure with these two compared to DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan (personal preference and a love for the book)

To my daisy,

The driver of the knife between my shoulder blades,

& the painter of my agony,

I still love you, beauty

Your memory destroys me.
