”rory believed the most in jess”, ”luke was the most supportive of jess”, WRONG, not as long as this king exists

luke and jess's relationship condensed

of course you're edible and you have pronouns

While I don't think that Lorelai dealt with Rory dropping out of Yale well, I think a lot of people forget that when she dropped out of school she was suddenly homeless without a job and had a one year old daughter to take care of...

are they really javajunkie coded or are they also just an audhd couple?

is this anything

I saw you ask for some Gilmore confessions, so here are a few 1. I hate Logan and Chrostopher with a passion 2. The older I get, the more I sympathize with Emily and Richard, but the more people we meet from their world, the more I understand why Lorelai had to get out 3. I don't consider AYITL canon 4. I think Richard's mother is a horrible old woman, and I don't find her funny 5. As a teen I wanted a mom like Lorelai, but, as an adult, I find her and Rory's relationship unhealthy

I appreciate the ask! Long response under the cut

I agree with you on Christopher and Logan. I honestly think that most of what Chris and Lorelai have is just reminiscing about the past and that they didn't have any new chemistry. Richard and Emily are kind of interesting characters to me. They're not inherently evil people, but they are deeply harmful due to the world that they live in. They interact with everything through the lens of privilege. Because of that, they can't seem to detach themselves from it. AYITL wasn't canon and nothing anyone can say will convince me otherwise. Trix was cruel, and her relationship with Richard was (for lack of a better term) emotionally incestuous, not to mention the fact she actually married her second cousin which is just gross. Lorelai and Rory's relationship definitely was unhealthy, and I don't think Lorelai handled a lot of things particularly well (Rory dropping out for one). But I think that people often underestimate the impacts of being a teen mom who had to provide food and housing for the both of them from a young age. She absolutely was immature and often over bearing, but I think she always did the best she could.

when i mention that jess is the best character, they immediately start listing her negative traits. but there's one thing. i call him the best character not because he's perfect because his character development is perfect soo 🫣

Real! I think people also don't understand just how screwed over Jess was by everyone. Not only his mom, but also Stars Hallow for never giving him the chance to grow as a person. It's no wonder he quit school and ran away, nobody there wanted him, they purposely let him slip through the cracks.

tboy luke. that is all.

So real and true

I'm bored, feel free to send me anonymous Gilmore Girls confessions. My inbox is open!

Guy who just started growing facial hair.

Enough about Destiel, let’s talk about the real reason to celebrate Nov 5th

No, there really isn't.

There is way too much chemistry between Lorelai and Dean.

unexplainable but. this hair is soo s1 au jess to me. like. the most italian jewish new york guy ever. 16 yrs of age. needs a haircut badly. really too much gel kind of crunchy sounding when you touch it. s1 episode whatever his introduction will be in stepped straight off the bus glaring at everything blowing people up autistically in his mind. just started growing facial hair three weeks ago. On the road in his back pocket folded in half. stupid dirtbag with a nicotine addiction. and hes beautiful.

Them 🥹

Anyone who says "Rory should have married Logan" or that Emily and Richard were a good influence on Rory or that they weren't "that bad" of parents to Lorelai just DO NOT GET IT and "it" being literally the entire messaging of the whole show.

Rory started at chilton when Lorelai left (literally Rory had her birthday party in ep 6 and her first day of chilton is ep 2)

They have the exact same name, look the same and it's said countless times that Rory is just like her mother. So, Rory is picking up in Lorelai's "correct life path" (according to Richard and Emily) exactly where Lorelai left off when she had her and left home, continuing at the "good schools" going to an ivy league college, has a coming out party, joins the D.A.R. etc. Rory has the life Lorelai's parents always wanted for Lorelai AND YET!!!

Rory still doesn't marry "her christopher" aka Logan, but is having his baby and is choosing to be a single mom while Jess is her endgame because Luke is Lorelai's endgame and Jess is Luke and Rory is Lorelai.

Literally the ENTIRE POINT of the show is that everything that Emily and Richard were so worked up about and prioritized all of Lorelai's life about her life choices and how she "threw her life away" because she got pregnant, moved out and became apart of the working class and didn't go to any ivy league college and marry Christopher do not matter and the idea that she "threw her life away" and wasted her potential is absolute bullshit. Because Rory does all the things Lorelai didn't get to do and the results were IDENTICAL except Rory wasn't a teen mom and she would likely continue to live at home with Lorelai and Luke when her baby is first born breaking the those specific Lorelai/Emily cycles because Lorelai did her best to meet her daughter's emotional needs and therefore was able to have a infinitely better relationship with her and Rory is always willing to accept her help and support because it doesn't come at the emotional cost that Lorelai getting help from her parents took because they are literally emotionally abusive and controlling parents - they aren't just bad parents they are abusive (that's a whole other post but there are people who are just human and make mistakes like most of the other characters in the show and then their are abusive ones and Emily especially but also Richard emotionally abuse their daughter even though they help with money and aren't completely horrible 100% of the time that doesn't make them not abusive and while that is never explicitly stated we see and hear how horrible all of the other chilton parents and Logan's circle of friends parents are to their kids demonstrating just how horrible parents in Emily and Richards social circle truly are and it has nothing to do with Lorelai "being difficult or stubborn" as Emily tries to claim but I digress...)

That point of, what Emily and Richard prioritized their entire lives is all bullshit, is literally driven home by Emily's speech at the end of AYITL that "all of this is bullshit!" Emily acknowledges - once Richard is gone and therefore no longer fits into her society like she used to as a wife and married woman - that playing along with all of the societal norms and her ultra-wealthy social circle is SOUL SUCKING and bullshit! She is SO HAPPY to have a home deed with HER NAME ON IT. She has an interested suitor but it's clear she never plans to marry him and she gets a job at a museum as a tour guide for crying out loud!! The old Emily would be horrified by that - she's literally making choices so similar to Lorelai's by the end showing Lorelai's choices WERE THE RIGHT ONES. Moving away from an environment that hurt you and misunderstood and abused you and fighting and working your ass off to build a life that's yours. Even building a loving community with her housekeepers family that moves in with her!!!

All of Luke's "rantings" about the wealthy and corporate greed, owning and operating a diner even though he's shown to have the cooking skills and know-how to do "more". Taking something he inherited from his father but making it his own by turning it into a diner instead of keeping it a hardware store. Whereas by the end of AYITL Christopher is working within his family's business, staying on the path his parents wanted for him and it's the same with Logan - marrying the woman his parents want him to marry and working for his father - The show tells and shows us over and over again, not just doing what society tells you you should do with your life but knowing yourself well enough to decide for yourself and taking the time to find out is what is best and you shouldn't let anyone else dictate that for you. The show is very pro "break out of the boxes society tries to shove you into"

There is a whole other convo to be had about privilege that comes with being white and thin and pretty and coming from money that more easily enables your ability to do so as well as Lorelai having a community in Stars Hollow that has always supported her which allowed her to leave home at 16 with a newborn and build a great life for herself because if she failed she wouldn't end up homeless because her support system and her parents provided a safety net so the message is very much only aimed at the characters within the show that have the ability to make your own way in life but that is what Rory and Lorelai do (Rory's really starts with rejecting Logan's marriage proposal when she graduates and taking a grueling, low paying campaign job instead of using any of her many connections to get her a more prestigious and stable position whereas before she was absolutely on the "conveyer belt" described by the "other daughter" of the wealthy family of Harvard alumni who helped Rory with all her college application questions, who chose not to go to college like her two other siblings) as well and Luke and Jess both make their own way and build a life that best suits their passions and skills. Which is why Luke/Lorelai and Jess/Rory are endgame because you can't have a relationship between someone who fits into their societal mold and one who broke out, it just doesn't work. Logan's affair with Rory shows he has the desire to break out of his mold but never has the strength to do so, just like Christopher which is why they could never truly keep up with the Gilmore Girls.

The show does have flaws in it's execution of this message because of internalized misogyny, white supremacy, and fatphobia that we are still struggling to get out of writers rooms to this day so don't think this post is me saying everything about the show or Rory and Lorelai is perfect because they absolutely are flawed characters who makes questionable decisions and mistakes but to me they are all very realistic of 2 pretty white women in the early 2000's dealing with all of the trauma that came from Richard and Emily's abuse and Rory being raised by a teen mom and a completely unreliable father for most of her childhood.

Anyway Team Jess, Team Luke and Team Rory receives entirely too much hate because of misogyny and her trauma is completely overlooked because she so rarely shows how much hurt she's endured in her young life and is carrying the weight of the world and her entire family's expectations and "legacy" on her young shoulders. Emily and Richard never being able to let go Lorelai getting pregnant and leaving home and SHOWING THAT/SAYING IT around Rory made her feel responsible for all the issues between Lorelai and her parents, her grandparents pain and disappointment and to "fix" all her mother's "mistakes" - her burn out/break down in AYITL makes COMPLETE sense and her choice to allow herself to be "just like her mom" by keeping her baby and being a single mom is the start of her shedding those burdens she's carried her entire life and letting her just be herself even if that looks a lot like her mother who her grandparents and everyone in their world has been telling her for decades is a failure and a disappointment. Rory has always tried to please her grandparents and having to tell her grandmother she's going to be a single mom is basically the worse thing she could do in Emily's eyes (at least the old Emily who knows how post AYITL might react because she's stopped caring and therefore stopped trying to be so controlling but her revelation might not be enough to counter news like that that hits a wound that she literally never even tried to heal). Radical self acceptance despite what society aka her grandparents and their world thinks is what is meant for both Lorelai and Rory and choosing Luke/Jess over Christopher/Logan is apart of that acceptance.

I just wanted more Jess on my dash tonight. Please accept my crappy screenshots.
