Ben Chaplin as Basil Hallward in Dorian Gray.

The Literature Gang™

jay gatsby:

Gatsby:

Snubs an old woman

Alienates his social superiors with his enthusiasm for Napoleon (who is kinda the enemy right now)

Takes a stranger’s hat by mistake and just stands there fiddling with it

Gets flustered trying to comfort his best friend’s wife and tells her “Calm yourself. Good-bye.”

Makes two conflicting promises to two different friends

Philosophizes his way out of responsibility

Casually pulls the frame out of a window with his bare hands

Witnesses a reckless bet involving a bottle rum and a third-story window and goes “Cool. I’m gonna try that.”

Waltzes with a live bear

me:

“There’ll be eggs from Malta and Scotch from Sicily. You’ll be paying money to yourself when you buy from the syndicate, since you’ll own a share, so you’ll really be getting everything you buy for nothing. Doesn’t that make sense?”

They can both quote The Breakfast Club word for word. Both are diehard fans of George Michael, and they can’t get enough of that one-hit-wonder, Sly Fox, that song by said band “Let’s Go All The Way”, they dance to that. All the time.

Jay serenades Nick with Johnny Kemp’s song “Birthday Suit”, and Nick’s guilty pleasure is Janet Jackson. Nick can totally sing every one of her songs word for word.

I’m onto something.

Birthday Suit - Johnny Kemp

Let’s Go All The Way - Sly Fox

We Didn’t Start The Fire - Billy Joel

So me and my parents just made a bet that, if this post gets 750,000 notes, I can have a pet bird!

We’ll pay for all the expenses!

All I need is for this particular post to get 750,000 notes, and a bird will be all mine!

My local petstore sells these GORGEOUS blue budgies, and I’m dying to have one

When I say ‘blue budgie’, I mean one like this:

(I got this image off of google, but it is extremely similar to the bird I want!)

Please, please, PLEASE let me have him!!

Like and RB anywhere you can!

Please help me with this!!
