Not everyone gets lucky enough to find a soulmate like this. None of this would have happened if I'd never boarded this spaceship, so all hail the great loan shark, Darius Blank. Thanks, Darius.

Mundane things about my version of the Gatsby gang
Nick sometimes sleeps on the ground instead of his bed. He sleeps more soundly that way
If he isn’t needed, Gatsby sleeps in til past noon if he can, he has the WORST sleep schedule
Tom and Jordan- even if in the same room- will almost never engage with the other unless to talk about sports, the funny pages (something they both like reading), or to jeer at someone else’s expense between whispers and laughs
Meyer has that grandfatherly “Have you eaten? Are you hungry? Come let me fetch you something” way about him around Gatsby (he’s partially the reason Gatsby has put on extra weight but Gatsby himself over indulges in food)
Daisy is the only one who doesn’t smoke
But Daisy can throw back straight whiskey and keep her demeanor well enough(Tom likes that about her)
Daisy can actually shoot really well and knows how to ride side saddle (Tom REALLY loves that about her)
Nick and Daisy- despite being raised Catholic- are both atheists. Daisy won’t bring it and Nick occasionally mocks believers under his breath
Gatsby legally shouldn’t be on the road….
Gatsby will pronounce the same word differently throughout a conversation
Nick can’t hear that well out his scarred ear
Jordan has a strong sweet tooth
Gatsby has a fear of dogs
Tom is a momma’s boy, big time
Daisy doesn’t like blondes and that they get so much attention for being blonde
Despite seeming tough, Jordan scares easily. She would not last in a haunted house attraction
Nick studied Law before switching to English for his degree. That’s actually how he met Tom, by sharing some classes together. Despite arguing Nick should’ve stayed in Law, Tom does often ask how Nick’s writing is coming along
Meyer doesn’t like pets at all, just finds them dirty
Nick can’t pick Gatsby up but Gatsby can easily pick up Nick
Nick caught on quickly to Gatsby’s Sunday workout routine and spies on him from the foliage border between their houses. Gatsby does feel he’s being watched but never sees who it is
Why do people talk about how harrowing Watership Down was but never mention Cowslip's warren... There are a group of anthropomorphic rabbits in this children's fantasy novel that have accepted their role as living meat. They've convinced themselves that to kick and struggle is to defy the will of a god confined to the tortured ramblings of their poet caste, who beg for their throats to snap under shining wire as their kin look on in polite fascination. They speak with lobotomised tongues and shun their culture for that of their devourers, pushing stones into walls, digging agoraphobic atriums under which to sit in silence, awaiting a fate they are forbidden to name. Why don't we talk about this
Hazel, while Bigwig is infiltrating Efrafa: I miss having Bigwig here.
Blackberry: He’s been gone for literally three minutes.
