Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, a History of Bromance and Geniuses
background:
Fez teenager in love with Zelda, until the age of 24 with "side of paradise" a book Fortune to become rich, the poor literary and artistic youth turned over and married this girl. As mentioned in the movie, Zelda is charming but all over the map, beautiful and wanton. Although talented and aura, he is extravagant, addicted to drugs, and suspected of mental instability. In 1925, Fitz was 29 years old and met 26-year-old Hemingway in Paris. In the same year, he published "The Great Gatsby" and reached the pinnacle of his life. However, since then he has gone downhill as a writer.
Hemingway and Zelda hate each other, why? Hemingway hated Zelda's madness and extravagance for ruining Fitz's talent and making him degenerate; Zelda has always been jealous of Hemingway's extremely close relationship with Fitz, thinking that her husband is cheating on her and Hemingway behind her back.
If I can take the liberty to use Britpop as an analogy, Zelda is like Pete Doherty, Fitz is Carlos Barat who knows the danger but wants to get close, and Hemingway can be any friend of Carl who is still a sense.
"A sissy with hairy chests"
Zelda and Hemingway disliked each other the first time they met. Zelda's impression of Hemingway is a downright hypocrite, with a hairy sissy on his chest, and believes that Hemingway's masculinity is nothing more than a disguise. Hemingway's sexual orientation is becoming more and more controversial, and Zelda's unabashed contempt is actually a terrifyingly accurate insight.
Attempted prostitution of handsome boy
Zelda also accused Fitz on several occasions, believing that the reason for the decline in the quality of their sexual life was that Fitz was a homosexual, and he and Hemingway had cheated on her behind their backs. In order to prove his masculinity, Fitz decided to hire prostitutes (I'm sorry...this section was badly used by Japanese BL comics), but Zelda discovered the condom he had prepared in advance to hire prostitutes (this Young...), so I finally failed to make a trip...

appearance and personality
Lao Hai’s first impression of the 29-year-old Fitzgerald was, "Very feminine, looks like a boy, face between handsome and beautiful (rather effeminate, a man 'who looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty). "
You know the old saying this time, only the sea 26. Still three years younger than Fitz, but searching for Fitz's photos, it is not difficult to understand why Lao Hai has such a comment. Because Fitz is so beautiful, and because of the beauty of a girl, Tom Fiddleson really picked the right role-standing with the hairy Lao Hai and making points.
"Rich bitch"
just said Zelda's evaluation of Lao Hai. Lao Hai was actually even more rude to Zelda. What did he say, "That rich bitch, kindly caretaker, the destroyer of Fitz’s talent." A fucking stupid thing has something to do with Zelda."
After learning that Zelda had asked the Fitz’s carriage to be sawed off, Old Haiqi said, “There are only two things that can make Scott return to normal. Either Zelda will die or Scott has a serious stomach problem. So he stopped drinking. Why he didn’t want to grow up!”
Lao Hai was not only rude to Zelda. In fact, he had a lot of opinions on most of Fitz’s friends—he once admonished Fitz. Stay away from people who over-blown his novels.
Of course you can think that Lao Hai is a bad friend, but I really only think that he is jealous. It's like Wuardo in "social networks" trying to get Mark's full attention.
Homophobia
Hemingway’s sympathy complex is more famous, but compared to Lao Hai’s straightforward and brutalism, Fitz has actually expressed such thoughts several times in a light-spitting tone. Canadian journalist Callahan recalled in his memoir "Summer in Paris" that Fitz once said to him, "Remember that I was drunk that night and took your arm... You must have thought I was a butt guy at the time ( Fairy)." In Fitz’s "the Note-books", he wrote, "The birth of a fart is that nature uses castration to get rid of the soft eggs."
In 1929, it was this Callahan who made a big splash in Paris. Propagating the remarks that Fitz and Lao Hai are friends, and Lao Hai is half to death. Fitz also began to worry about his own image, it seemed (at least on the surface) that this was the reason why he gradually reduced contact with Lao Hai afterwards.
(I thought about the word Fairy for a long time and I decided to translate it into a fart, please forgive me.)
"Sweetheart"
In 1934, shortly after the publication of Fitz’s fourth novel "Tender is the Night", Fitz was giving Lao Hai In the letter, he molested him, calling Lao Hai his sweetie (sweetie).
"Doujinshi"
Hemingway once wrote about his slash fictions (slash fictions), the most famous of which is about him and Fitz.
(The reliability is extremely untestable, not to mention that Hemingway has always been known for homophobia-I guess for no reason what the original author meant is that the gay characters in Hemingway's book have the shadow of himself and Fitz in it)

"Size issue"
The story goes like this. Hemingway and Fitz made an appointment to have a meal together. "Finally even the dessert cherry tart came up after dinner (...)" Fitz said, first admitting that he had never been outside of Zelda. The woman slept, and then asked Lao Hai why Zelda disliked her being too small. Lao Hai dragged the boy into the bathroom, and after checking, assured him that his size was normal. The boy still didn't believe it, so Lao Hai suggested that the two go to the Louvre and compare the size with the statue. After watching the teenager, he was still very skeptical, so Lao Hai comforted him and said, "The size at rest does not count, you have to see how big it can be, and the angle is also very important (again, the original words of the shameless prostitute Lao Hai)".
If the story ends here, it will only be at the PWP level, but things started because of Zelda, and this goes back to the old problem that Zelda and Hemingway dislike each other.
Facing the tangled young Fitz boy, Lao Hai said, "Forget what Zelda said, she is a lunatic. There is nothing wrong with you... Zelda just wants to ruin you (Forget what Zelda said, Zelda is crazy. There's nothing wrong with you...Zelda just wants to destroy you.)"
(The bean friends with agents can read the original text written by Lao Hai himself on the original site. The dry and sharp sense of humor is really full sense)
