[hashtagafreakingghost]

From the movie version yes.
well I mean one of the movie versions.
there are a couple.
BUT anyway so you aren't familiar with the imagery or motifs in the novel right?
There's an important visual symbol that represents God and the death of the American dream through the eyes on a billboard of a fictional doctor named T.J. Eckleburg.
The billboard's worn out and desolate and hollow as is the dream but it's ALWAYS there watching the protagonists.
It represents how materialism has taken over society and therefore classism as well since Gatsby himself is a self-made man trying to make it in a world of rich people.
The eyes of God can only look out over the city from a billboard meaning even God's had to co-opt the materialist mindset to reach the world even if the one he's looking out at is bleak and dreary in the guise of a rich party life.
That's not to completely shun materialism. Just to try and address problems of society and the way it functions especially the upper-class compared to the others!

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I really didn't MEAN to go all literary geek-out on you

[Text]

[callbacks]

are you sure
are you sure ashley
hey did you know johto has a book club

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

oh no
ohhh no
why would you tell me that

[Text]

[callbacks]

want me to get you in touch with the girl who hosts it

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

so much so yes.

[Text]

[callbacks]

maka albarn
shes from nevada i think youll like her
shes comes off kind of blunt and serious but shes really smart and cares a lot about doing right by people
anyway i think she lives in olivine city but she takes care of transportation for anyone who wants to get their geek on about books so you dont have to worry about walking all the way there

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

THAT'S a relief olivine looks SO far away on the map.
but so what do I do just send her a message???
when I'm ready of course I need to spend the next day just sleeping maybe.
I've never had to join a book club in a magical monster world before is there an etiquette for this??

[Text]

[callbacks]

i dont know ive never joined a book club period
i guess you could just tell her you heard about the club from me and express interest?
she knows me were cool
sometimes she advertises the meetings over the pokegears too but i dont know if thats an all the time thing or if theres a mailing list or what

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

referral from dave
OK I can do that.
that'll be so nice to just talk about literature with people. do you know if any of them write too?

[Text]

[callbacks]

that i dont know
sorry
...
man
if rose were here you two could have had all the bookish chats she was totally aiming to be the next gay wizard rowling at one point

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

who's rose? another one of your friends?
if she likes Harry Potter then she has good taste that's for sure.

[Text]

[callbacks]

rose is my sister
her tastes were kind of all over the place but mostly she liked magic and dark shit and junk
she liked to write

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[As she's typing out her response, Ashley takes note of something kind of chilling:

Dave's writing in past tense.]

the sister you mentioned with purple eyes!
well I believe in the supernatural (of course) but I'm not exactly fond of it in real life.
but it would be nice to talk like that with her.
especially about writing.

[Text]

[callbacks]

yup thats her
apparently she was here a while ago and shes part of the reason some people kind of sort of know me
but it looks like i missed her by a pretty wide margin
or this iteration of me did anyway
but thinkin about that stuff too much gives me a headache so ive tried to put it behind me

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I don't want to think about stuff like that either that just sounds confusing.
maybe she'll show up again and you can see her?
now that I can take everything slow I kind of just want people I miss here.
like
abduction aside
if I'm gonna be here
anyway so you have one friend here Jade right?
and a whole bunch of people from the same place showed up here recently.
do a lot of people usually have friends here or? is that a minority case.
not to digress or change the subject you can tell me all about your sister if you want I was just wondering.

[Text]

[callbacks]

nah its a good question
i havent talked to everybody or put out a survey or anything to see who knows who but from what ive observed
probably a majority of people are CURRENTLY lone representatives of their worlds
you dont usually get a bunch of people showing up from one universe at once like with the remnant kids
but it seems like once one persons here the pokegods get more inclined to send them a buddy eventually
not everybody stays the same length of time but its something
and then there was the weird shit that happened in november

[Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

so all I can really do is hope then
Ha
well at least there are some nice people here like you and york and north and those girls and others who showed up same day i did. and ms sandiego and mr tsukiyama.
better to be prepared than not

but excuse me what was that about november??
