It’s my 4 years Natsby-versary!Â
Exactly 4 years ago, I was going about my life (having a Sherlock/OUAT double marathon at the end of the year) when the telly decided to play Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby. It was my second time watching it and the take away I got from my first watch was how pointless the the love story between Jay and Daisy was. Then, as I was watching the film for that second time, I thought that Nick and Jay were pretty cute together. At first, it was just a light-hearted thought, but then, as the film reached the closing scene where Nick saw vision of Gatsby on the dock and said, “he did not know that it was already behind him,” before Gatsby looked back to find Nick as they shared this sad but loving gazes, it hit me hard…NICK AND JAY SHOULD’VE BEEN TOGETHER! Just like that, that entire movie broke me and I got into the whole Natsby obsession.
Also, I can’t past my Natsby-versary without giving a shout out to the incredible Natsby fanbase I’ve met over the years. I can’t believe I could meet a group of fans that are so supportive of the things I share and who are gifted with so much creativity. We’re small but we’re solid!
