love is stored in the fictional couple i’ve gotten overly invested in

Rory and Jess + "epithets" for each other

Rory and Jess - Physical touch

i like how dean represents rory’s humble small town stars hollow world and logan represents rory’s wealthy ivy league world and rory being torn between these two worlds is basically the theme of the show, so you’d think that the narrative would be very dean vs logan. yet both of them are intimidated not by each other but by this little guy who comes out of nowhere during both relationships, displays an undeniable connection with rory and dips. i love it.

jess mariano and rory gilmore are literally the SAME people at their core, just in opposite fonts. they MIRROR each other and are each other's TWIN FLAMES. that's exactly why they understand each other better than everyone else (asp herself said so). both are raised by teen moms and have deadbeat dads. yet, one is nurtured with love and care with a mom like lorelai. and the other is abandoned & ignored by a flaky mom like liz. both develop an immense love for reading regardless of whether it became kind of a coping mechanism. both exceed normal expectations of intelligence required for their age. hence, one goes above and beyond, strives for perfection with it, and craves validation while the other could not care less what people think and says "fuck it. rules don't matter anymore for me. i know stuff". one becomes stars hollow's princess, held onto a pedestal by everyone around her. the other becomes stars hollow's pariah, hated by every person he meets. both are under intense scrutiny by people where one is held to exceptionally high standards and the other is seen as "good for nothing". both of them break out of those respective moulds as soon as they become young adults. and both play a pivotal role in helping each other break out of those moulds and still be true to their inner selfs. I COULD WRITE AN ENTIRE TEN-PAGE ESSAY ON THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THEM....I REALLY COULD!

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory - Episode 2x17

She was great, she was fun, and it's like, get your butt in there, and you know, but it really I don't know that I you know, they it was. It was humorous and entertaining and light and delightful and all that, But what did it do to his character?...He's afraid of her a little bit. He respects her and she is not afraid of him. She sees right through him. She she knows exactly what he is. Another guy who has great potential, who is not as emotionally mature as I am. He may never be, but he's probably worth a shot. He's a project for her now, right, And she's just trying to up the timeline by just taking command and being the you know, the drill sergeant, like get your butt over there and guilting him into everything and move your ass and help him out and what the hell's wrong with you? And I think it angered her because it's like, you're not the guy I'm gonna fall in love with or stay in love with if this is what you are, like so freaking change... It's almost like, why don't you need me more? Why don't you show that you need me more? Why are you lying?....But but as an audience, we're watching this kid, struggle with his own demons, right, He's struggling with his own anger issues. He's struggling with his his abandonment issues and all of that stuff, and it's very powerful. But now you've got somebody like Rory who he respects and is in love with. Right, the whole power, the whole dynamic really shifted. It really shifted. Um, that was unexpected. I was not expecting that, And I guess I'll have to see, you know, how it develops. But yeah, I thought it was a little much...And Rory says, yeah, but but at least that's you doing something that you're part of the community. You're part of the community....I want to see him having a epiphany, if even if it's a small one, so that he takes a little bit of responsibility. I just want to see some growth. -Scott

Jess’s ‘bad boy’ label to me is so, so funny. He is constantly reading, works two jobs, saved enough money to buy a car—but he’s the ultimate bad boy in the town’s eyes. Let’s be clear, the most ‘rebellious’ thing he did was the chalk outline outside Doose’s. Boy did magic tricks for his crush, why is he labeled a bad boy? 😭
