Hellooo! Me again! As per your tags again, I DO think that Jess rambles a lot to Rory particularly when he's enthusiastic about something. And we did see this at least once on the show! Well, sort of... They were in the diner holding hands over the counter and playing with each other's fingers, and Jess was chattering on about something while Rory smiled adoringly... But we only catch a GLIMPSE of it, because the camera is following Lorelai, and Lorelai is only approaching with the express intent of interrupting them so that she can get Rory to distract Taylor for her! That glimpse was SO cute though! And most of Jess's speech was indistinct except for "...thought he sounded like a madman." But from that snippet, I suspect he was telling her something Nerdy. You know they did things like that all the time, and I just wish we'd gotten to see more of it!
EXACTLY!!!!!! Okay, I'm overly enthusiastic about this for more reasons than one but that scene lives in my mind rent free, I literally have it playing in the drive-in movie theater that is my mind 24/7.
I again have 💫thoughts💫 (shocker, I know + when exactly do I intend to stop using these emojis sarcastically??????), but I promise to try to keep it brief.
I always felt like Jess enjoys straight to the point writing the best because in his mind he's everything but concise (which is why, in my head, he keeps reading and buying poetry books even though he can't get into poetry and yes, this is projecting at its brightest). It's about the contradictions!!!!!!! And I love love love the humanity of it all.
(which is one of the main reasons why I feel so connected to GG as a show, these people and their actions just don't make logical sense sometimes and that's okay, the show rarely tries to shove us the reasoning behind something in bright shining letters, there's no "THIS,  THIS is why they do what they do, THIS is why there are the way they are!!!!!!", it's usually about the combination of many different details and experiences and even with all that, there's plenty of room for interpretation and that's so human to me and that kind of approach definitely helped me in improving my own perspective on some things. these people are SO messy with no need for a clear, singular reason behind it and I live for that. enough with the off topic stuff now.)
Anyways, the point is: Jess feeling safe enough to ramble around Rory is everything to me and I would sell my soul (or even worse, give up my own rambling abilities) just to see more of that (like... none of them can do small talk, they just jump into an intellectual debate straight away and that's so cool of them). They are both extremely passionate people, the rambling sessions are inevitable (the 🎇heart eyes🎇 that surely come hand in hand with those kind of interactions make my head spin). I'm actually really into the way that scene at the diner was shot, I love that it's a glimpse (I'm the "look at my favourites in the background of the main event looking all pretty standing next to each other holding hands" kind of gal). Basically, I just love to see fictional characters doing nothing except being themselves and GG is all about the little things like that🤧. And now I have the image of Jess and Rory sitting crossed-legged at Luke's place, cutting out cool newspapers articles (Rory totally has a journal where she keeps stuff like that) and rambling about nothing and everything... I also remember a chess board being in front of them in one of the very few scenes they share at Luke's apartment (we were so robbed, so so so robbed, it's canon that they spent the majority of their free time up there and we barely got to see it), IMAGINE THEM PLAYING CHESS IN THE BACKGROUND OF A SCENE!!!!!!!
I. am. soft.
