I guess it’s finally time to come clean. I liked the book “Brave New World.” However…not in the way you think. Yes, I thought it was a well told and inventive story, but I liked it because I could not stop laughing at all the characters’ UST. It’s really one of those books that BL fangirls would gobble up looking for gay subtext and whatnot. But I’m not here to talk about other people’s fascination with pairing together characters that are in no way romantically involved in cannon. I’m here to talk about MY fascination with pairing together characters that are in no way romantically involved in cannon.

Helmholtz was my favorite, hands down. He always came off as a closet gay, and I can’t remember if the book said he smokes, but imagine he makes his own cigarettes without soma (cigs in that world pro’ly have soma in them to make them feel better). Also, I think he would be one of the few people in the world who wore glasses. Reason? Due to the advanced genes and medicine, I doubt people would have bad eyesight; otherwise they couldn’t perform their job as well. Helmholtz’s eyesight, however, began to deteriorate because of his job as a writer, and he never took any soma or other medicine to help it. He probably thought it made him more human. I’ll talk about him more in other pictures.

John was just fun to draw, I imagined him with scraggy, fluffy, long-ish hair—living at a savage reservation and all. The two pictures of him at the bottom I doodled as our class was reading the chapters in which his mother died, and he goes on a rampage and starts a riot.

Bernard was an interesting character at first, but then he became a douche. I drew him not too attractive, but good enough; what with his background.

Lenina. Meh. She was a whore. What else is there?

Disclaimer: I am well aware that this book was written in 1931 and all my thoughts are warped perversions of the author’s intentions.
