•I actually flubbed up and forgot to save this so I had to rewrite all of it Goddamnit.

TW: kidnapping, abuse, implied murder stalking, yandereness, yadda yadda.

•The obsessive stalker type. He was in the bushes for Daisy, he’ll be in the bushes for you. Expect him to divise plans to keep you around as long as possible. Like, he’ll cling to your side harder than fucking Gorilla glue. You will not know personal space with this man. He’s really attached and will follow you just about anywhere you go if he can, excusing it as being a great friend. He’ll overstay his welcome as much as possible, and make sure you stay over at his place more than you would at your own. He sees his constant unhealthy attachment as his way of protecting you. He’s kinda a white knight trying to save the damsel in distress. Even if you don’t need his help, he’s going to give it to you whether you want it or not.

•We’re gonna go off the idea his love for Daisy waned away and he attaches to you crazily. I mean, he bought a whole house to chase someone canonically so he’s already exhibiting yandere behaviors.

•Very persistent and is not a lucid yandere. His yandere side will probably cause him to lose any lucidity. He’ll thoroughly believe that any type of affection you give to him is a sign you love him back unconditionally. Even if you tell him no a thousand times, he’ll still make a way into your life somehow. He’s delusional indeed.

•HMMMM, what’s that about a man moving into a mansion nearby your house? *Gasp,*he goes by Gatsby?? It surely can’t be the same man you knew all those years ago. How convenient he’s here of all places. Yeah, his persistence is honestly impressive. He’s willing to chase you across the damn country if he has to, the poor man.

•Kinda a simp, not gonna lie. No, I revoke that, he’s absolutely a simp. This man will get desperate if you don’t get persuaded. He’ll constantly get frustrated when he’s alone and out of view and he’ll do anything to gain your approval. He’d die for you, set himself on fire. Anything. He believes the key to winning you over is erasing any faults he has as a person, just the same as Daisy. He’ll present himself as only the most lavish and charming man to you. He’s willing to destroy himself for the gilded dream of love.

•Will spoil you to death. Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want. He’ll buy you lavish things because he thinks that his fortune will win your favor. It’s downright as depressing as it sounds. He sees his fortune as the key to you liking him, Gatsby, back. Jay Gatsby is who you want, so he’ll give you Gatsby and not James. He’ll perfect and shine everything he can, even if it destroys him in the process.

•For a yandere and an accused bootlegger, he’s surprisingly innocent most of the time. He doesn’t really plot others’ demise unless they’re an immediate threat, (say a criminal or you’re already married.) and his smiles are typically genuine when they do occur. Scary mode happens when his delusion causes him to become desperate and do something irrational. I have a strange feeling he’d eventually collapse into your hold and cry about how you don’t love him, even though he’s tried. The type of gaslighting behavior and guilt tripping behavior. He’s not exactly mentally sane, so I doubt he even realizes it sometimes. Maybe he’ll grab your wrist and beg you to stay. It’s all emotional reactions more than any physical ones.

•Not really a kidnapper to be honest, at least not until the very end. He’ll probably use his parties to catch you off guard. Mostly keeps you within site by convincing you to stay rather than forcing you to. Last resort, he’ll party you to death so that you’re too hungover to go home each time. Then, he’ll either set up a circumstance that disallows you leaving like setting your house on fire or you being too sick to leave.

•I bet he’s the stalker shrine type. Expect items of yours to go missing and never return. Things like clothing, bracelets, jewelry, the lot. All will be snatched so he can be reminded of you while you’re not in his presence. His mind is all about you, his existence is about you, his life as Jay Gatsby is literally all manufactured for you. The rumors about him following you around should be listened to and the warnings heeded because Jay Gatsby will not let go of you.

•Old sport.

•Usually not aggressive. He’s a softer yandere all around and is generally even unwilling to hurt close family or friends. He rarely even threatens them either because he knows that’s not how he’ll get you. Still, there are really rare times he will snap and murder someone, especially a direct competitor to your heart. Your friends and family aren’t really in any true danger unless they’re like, trying to murder you or are abusive. If he has to murder someone, he’ll definitely justify it as having protected you. He’ll quickly and breathlessly go in a rant about how they were hurting you and were a bad influence all around. Gatsby believes that so long as his actions are out of “love,” they are alright.

•The type to hug you even if he just murdered your significant other. Gatsby is manipulative to the max. He’ll guilt trip you, gaslight you, emotionally wound you so that you’ll depend on him. He’ll isolate and goad you into distrusting people you love and care about. His hurt not be physical, but it sure will be mental. He’s just as guilty as Tom and Daisy of awful behavior.

•The only times he’s physical towards you are when he’s trying to restrain you from leaving or escaping. Even then, he’s trying his best not to hurt you. It’s a crime in his eyes to bruise you, and he knows it’ll only scare you away. Mostly, he’ll cling to you. Say a hug, those will last forever. He’ll try to prolong any physical contact he can. This man is sneaky when he wants to be. He treats you like you’ll break in a second if he does any wrongdoing physically which can be annoying since he practically babies you and forces you into an obedient role. Proving your strength against him is likely to cause his delusional behavior to turn into desperation to fit you into the idea he wants you to be.

•I honestly hope that the reader is either male or transgender or a minority because I’m pretty sure Tom is all the ‘ists’ and phobics. It would be a beautiful slap in the face when he realizes he’s attracted to a reader who isn’t white or a woman. SUFFER, TOM, SUFFER.

•These characters were mega interesting to me when I read the book way back when so I had to see what they’d be like as yanderes.

•So my hatred for these two may have manifested in this writing so sorry for that anyways onwards

•I have a weird feeling these two would actually team up. Okay, it sounds crazy but they are both cheating, both work together to create misery, so I have a feeling they’d both be yanderes. I just got threesome vibes throughout the whole book and movie with these two.

•Oh, and even if only one of them was a yandere, the other would still probably play along, especially if Tom is the yandere because Daisy’s willing to do a lot to keep her powerful status as a rich, wealthy wife. Also, Daisy’s far less kind to other people than she pretends to be and is rather shallow, cold and manipulative. I think she secretly revels in the chaos she causes Gatsby and loves the spotlight she gets when they both fight over her, even if she pretends she doesn’t.

•It’s likely her persuasion which leads to Tom becoming a yandere so quick if she’s one as well. She’ll goad him into acting on his actions, especially since she’s hella impatient.

•Daisy is manipulative, charming, soft, and persuasive. She’ll put on an alluring mask to deceive and string you into her web, she’s not above manipulating you and twisting your emotions and perspective on events. I have a huge feeling she’s an enourmous gaslighter and will deny ever being a perpetrator to a crime. Instead, she’ll always play victim to both guilt trip and make you fearful of looking bad when you accuse her of doing something wrong. She believes you are a doll to dress up, a playmate that will amuse her and keep her company. Someone who she can boss around.

•Daisy is likely to actually murder, but only really anyone who finds out her real self or anyone hitting on you too much. Close friends are not as much in danger, but she will isolate you from them because she’s quite possessive like Tom. It’s likely she’ll make Tom do the dirty work of murdering someone. If friends get too inquisitive, they’ll end up disappearing. Actually, both of them will usually hire someone to do the dirty work instead of getting their squeaky clean, preppy hands dirty.

•Tom has a reputation he desperately wants to upkeep. He sees Gatsby as no more than a lowlife dirty bootlegger so the idea that he’s murdering people and turning into a serial killer to keep you is frustrating to him. He doesn’t want to be seen as a criminal so you’ll be a sinful secret and all the crimes he commits are buried to hell. He’ll ignore the idea that he’s committing them by usually having someone else do it. No rumors will ever surface on his watch, not until he’s dead and the sun explodes five billion years later.

•He’ll probably try to justify his actions, saying that he was defending you rather than committing a crime, but he’s not as delusional as Gatsby. He knows you’ll never reciprocate so long as you know what he’s doing. He knows what he’s doing every step of the way is wrong, but he does see it as protecting you to an extent. Daisy is fully lucid. She wants you and she’ll get you, she doesn’t care who she has to trample over. She doesn’t care about others.

•It bothers him to no end how willing he is to have you. Expect him to take out his anger in rough touches and scary faces. He’ll likely hug you but in a very suffocating way that showcases “mine.” He’s likely to bruise your arm dragging you around without realizing it.

•Daisy is soft, cooing in your ear. I think she’s more in love with your beauty than you as a person. She’s trying to dress you up how she wants, style your hair, make you act all posh. She sees you as something she needs to rework and perfect. A trophy that will add to how great she is compared to everyone else. Actually, since they’re hellbent on good manners you’ll be on a strict schedule. Expectations will be as well. You’ll be clean at all times, you’ll use manners at the dinner table. They expect you to obey and listen to them. In return, you can expect the most luxurious items given to you and only the best vacation spots possible.

•Tom uses his intimidating presence, fortune, anger, and passive aggressiveness to keep you where he wants you. His fortune helps not only with keeping tabs on you by hiring someone to trail you but with putting up a fantastic mask. He’s classy, he’s in a respected position, he’s old money. The polo playing Tom Buchanan?? A yandere?? Hah, what a bunch of baloney! Unlike those West Eggers, Tom could never be a criminal!

•Tom will threaten any butlers or maids who say anything about his and his wife’s bizarre, extreme attachment to you. Witnesses to anything will be taken care of. Tom is willing to threaten close friends and family, but it’s unlikely he’ll actually act on it unless you really screw up.

• “Say, how about you stay over a while and grab a drink? How about a game of polo? Or maybe a simple dinner? Stay, I insist...Really, I insist.” Tom is passive aggressive as hell. A lot of what they both say have double meanings that, unless you’re observant, you’ll miss. Both are wearing masks. They are deceiving and lying to get what they want.

•Unlike Gatsby, who delusionally thinks he’s the hero, will justify his actions, thinks you’ll love him back, both Tom and Daisy will only justify them to the public should it ever find out. Otherwise, they know telling you they’re heroes won’t sway you. They know exactly what they’re doing, they just don’t care.

•Don’t play polo, it’s a trap. Daisy? A trap. Dinner, trap. The fucking horses are a trap, damnit. Don’t let them lure you in. Unlike Gatsby, they’ll kidnap and keep you locked away like a princess in a high tower. Once they have you, you’re stuck at their manor playing polo eternally and being dressed up by Daisy until they fuck up Gatsby’s life and leave to fucktoe current, bringing you along with them to their new manor.

•Kidnapping you will involve Daisy simply luring you over under the guise of some innocent activity and then allowing Tom to surprise and drag you away. One moment you’re at the door talking about Gatsby and how Daisy should go see him, the next Tom has a hand slapped over your mouth and he’s dragging you inside your new prison.

•Getting you too drunk to fight back is preferable, as it’s much easier to deal with and explain to any possible witness. Daisy will probably try to persuade you to stay all while you wake up terrified, remembering what happened before as Tom held you bridle style and Daisy twirled a lock of your hair around her finger.

•Tom will get physically violent if you try to leave, he will restrain you and tie you up, he’ll break a leg if he has to. He’ll force you to drink until you’re too drunk to resist. You’re not escaping under his watch, and he makes sure Daisy keeps an eye on you at all times if possible. He might just put up the guise that you’re mentally sick and need their care to his bewildered servants so they don’t come to your help. Any servant who betrays his orders to stay away will die if they’re persistent.

•Well, at least you have horses now, right?
