Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

#see great gatsby #or wuthering heights #I LOVE wuthering heights #but do I give a shit about any of those bitches?#lol no

no bc the way I’m constantly thinking about Gatsby tenderly kissing Nick’s fingertips and knuckles when he’s visiting him in the hospital if Gatsby did survive is making me go insane

I can’t believe I only just now noticed this.

But when Francis is using his ability, which is named after the irl Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, he glows GREEN.

The GREEN LIGHT was a central narrative tool used throughout The Great Gatsby novel. It was a huge deal to Gatsby, and was a consistent metaphor for his love for his romance interest, Daisy.

Fitzgerald, whose character in BSD is meant to directly mimic Gatsby, has a wife and child he would commit atrocities for. He believes what Gatsby believes: that only through money and power can he can live happily with the people he loves.

He embodies the Green Light and everything it stands for when he activates his ability, and that’s so fucking cool to me.

ok, so Nick is DEFINITELY not Straight™

the dude has fucked men, I’m just stating the obvious

literature is fun when you ignore your teacher’s analysis of the situation and make your own up

trying out some minor changes to gatsby's design. Im not quite settled on some features but generally i want him to have a softer fame and frame. i want him to have blonde/light brown curly hair, but it blends in with his skin too much i feel, so i still am working that out.

#any thoughts on his design are appreciated!#i do like lil pencil mustache gatsby tho hdvdhdv #black gatsby is so important to me but idk how to make that appearent in my design while still keeping in general line with the book #much LEss making him white passing enough for tom not ro suspect anything right off the bat #tis a strugglw #but im enjoying working it out!#tgg #the great gatsby #the great batsby #you can kinda see jays fangs here too hehehe #gay #mlm #lgbt #nick carraway #jay gatsby

Discussion on the Great Gatsby and I guess I overestimated the open-mindedness of my classmates bc like… the response when i said “so do y’all think Nick’s kinda got smth for Gatsby” was Interesting. They seemed shocked, as if Nick is Not a bisexual man. (This guy legit can’t choose anything, he’s non-confrontational, describes women and men kind of equally in both appearance and Vibes, and come ON that scene w/ the ellipsis (commonly used for fade-to-black sex scenes) and then HIM WAKING UP W/ MCKEE IN BED. HOMO 🫵🫵🫵.) Anyway. Nick/Gatsby/Daisy seemed to be the general ship consensus here

It’s once again time for ✨random Gatsby hc corner✨

Nick has a childhood blanket. He’s had it ever since he was five years old and he’s kept it ever since. He tried to keep it in the best condition as he can, constantly washing it and folding it with care. Though, throughout the years, it has gotten a little rough around the edges.

Especially since his parents tried to throw it out when he was younger. Though, he dug it out of the trash, hiding it under his bed. Now he keeps it well hidden from the rest of the world. He hasn’t told many other people about it because he doesn’t want to be seen as childish.

But due to his trauma with the war (and sensory issues) he tends to wrap it around him to calm him down. It’s soothing to him.

If he were to find it ripped or torn in some way, he would be absolutely devastated. So, he’s trying to learn how to sow.

#I think the only other person who’s seen the blanket is Jay #but that’s bc Nick was having a panic attack #and they basically live with each other #in my au at least #but in canon of the books Nick would probably never let that blanket see the light of day #the great gatsby #nick x gatsby #natsby

i had a very important realization while i was out walking today. out of the main four vnc characters, noé is the one we know the least about. he fits into a category of what i would call the glass protagonist–a guy who basically exists only to narrate the story, joining the ranks of those like nick carraway and richard papen, except he's just like way more mysterious.

see, part of what makes a narrator like nick work narratively is that we know just enough about him to 1) understand his perspective on the events of the story and 2) know what his role in the story is. nick is able to give his insider/outsider view of gatsby because he is neither part of the buchanans' world nor part of gatsby's, and his role in the story is to serve as a kind of mediator between the two of them. he's daisy's cousin in long island, but he's also a working man in city, etc, etc.

the funky thing about noé is we just...don't know anything about him. we're told a couple of things about his childhood; that he was adopted by an old couple in the human world, that they died and he was somehow on sale in altus, and that the comte took him in. but really, the time before and after louis's death is uncannily empty for the guy who we're following through this world. yes, of course it's fair to say that we know the most important things about noé, but we honestly know way more of vanitas's childhood than his, and that's a big part of the central mystery of the story.

(there's an element to this, of course, that comes from both of the examples i gave before, the great gatsby and the secret history, being novels. as readers, we get an extra level of introspection from nick and richard that is very difficult to translate directly into manga as a medium. however, i would argue that it's not impossible, and all that being said it does sometimes feel intentional on mochijun's part just how little of noé's background she's shown us.)

both nick and richard narrate their respective stories onto the reader from their position as outsiders, which we know is noé's role in vnc from the get-go. i mean, he says this explicitly in chapter one: "this is the tale of how i met vanitas, and how we walked together, of all we gained and lost, and of how, at the end of that journey, i would kill him with my own two hands". he's the narrator and this is his story, just like nick and richard, right?

but while nick and richard are the narrators, and give us, the readers, an excuse to look into their worlds, they are not exactly essential players on the board. both the great gatsby and the secret history give the impression that, without their narrators, they would have continued nearly exactly as written; the characters were doomed to fail long before the story began, and the intervention of some white guy isn't enough to either stop that. and yes, vanitas is doomed as well, but we are introduced to his death as an event that is intrinsically tied to noé himself.

"with my own two hands", noé says. he is not only an actor in the saga leading up to vanitas's demise, he is a starring player in it. (and yes, we ofc later learn that vanitas is going to die with or without noé's intervention but i think it's important to understand that this is our introduction to noé, vanitas, and the story itself) in this way, noé differentiates himself from his glass counterparts, in that he inserts himself irrevocably into the plot. he is both a character in the story and an observer, a chess piece and the one playing the game. this is why the gaps in his backstory feel so jarring, at least to me, because we are not meant to view him as solely a window into the world of vnc, but as a character all on his own.

anyways, all that being said, i'm hoping with the introduction of lady archiviste we're finally going to learn more about noé and his time with the comte, just because it's like a HUGE gap in the story.

#i think it goes without saying that domi's line about noé being a hermit for the past several years really stuck with me bc like. what.#she just dropped that line and then it was never mentioned again #noé also says in chapter one that he was sent to paris by his “former teacher”#like what does that mean. has he just not seen the comte in several years? has he been living somewhere else? what happened between them?#sometimes i think that maybe noé himself doesn't remember everything but ig we'll see #noé archiviste #vanitas #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #the great gatsby #nick carraway #the secret history #richard papen #sorry if this got a little rambly by the end ahhhh

The Great Gatsby AU;

After Jake married to son of a rich (old money) family, he and his husband live in a lovely villa nearby the sea and things are alright, they even have a little girl too until there's rumours about 'Rooster', a mysterious wealthy man and his fancy parties, it's like big carnivals and he hosts almost every people. He lives in a lovely mansion on the other side of the seashore right in front of Jake's house. One day they receive a formal invitation from Rooster (though Jake's husband doesn't like to go) so it's how Jake meets Bradley again💗 it's the beginning of their secret meetings and Bradley keeps asking Jake to leave 'that man' and live with Bradley. Bradley stops all those parties even fires his housekeepers and servants only because of Jake who wants to keep it secret between them..

It goes on and on for few weeks until Bradley buys Jake a lovely ring decorated by a green-blue gem💚 and purposes to him 'stay with me forever Jake, I love you'. Jake panics, says he needs time and leaves Bradley that night..

Two days passes when Jake gets a phone call, having bad news of Mr. Bradshaw badly injured in car accident and he may won't make it. Jake has a fight with his husband (he found out about him and Bradley) but he doesn't go to see Bradley at hospital..

#angst warning! but you can imagine the ending however you want to :>#hangster #sereshaw #I mean in my opinion he'll die at the end..#and Jake never went to see him in hospital #but in another world he leaves his husband. takes his daughter with him and goes to live with Bradley #'Bradley.. rich people won't marry poor soldiers..'#yeah Brad was in war just like Great Gatsby book #everything is the same just like the book #it was in my draft for a month and was chewing on me so yeah.. i finally posted it 'shrugs'#jake hangman seresin #bradley rooster bradshaw #hangman x rooster #its my comfort ship im sorry for this sad au :(💔#i just needed to get it out of my mind jxgsfs tho ending is open! :) so something good happens at the end.
