GILMORE GIRLS REWATCH ↳ “A Family Matter” (4x12)

2023 and i still insane about gay couples. maybe it's time to accept that i'll be like this forever. just me, my fics and tv shows that put queerbaiting in my face (i'm ok with that.

tristan is introduced as a bully who's inexplicably obsessed with rory the minute she first walks in. he is shown in a negative light until we get a glimpse of his more sensitive and lonely side and his terrible home life. paris is introduced as a bully who's inexplicably obsessed with rory the minute she first walks in. she is shown in a negative light until we get a glimpse of her more sensitive and lonely side and her terrible home life. tristan starts pursuing rory romantically and they share a kiss, while paris, tristan's female counterpart, becomes rory's friend. at this point, tristan disappears from the show, leaving paris to fill the bully-turned-lover role. this parallel highlights paris' queerness in a subtle yet unmistakable way, as she behaves very similarly towards rory as her male double. in this essay i will

Lots of people might disagree with me, but Paris not getting into Harvard makes a lot of sense. She was obsessed. She didn’t live a life, she only studied, it was sickening for her to be like that. Sometimes in life you don’t get what you desperately want for a reason. It may not be the time for you to get it or/and you have some growing up to do. Paris says that the reason she didn’t get in was her interview, she scared them. She was putting so much pressure on herself and so much of her self worth into getting in that when she didn’t, she fell apart. It was similar to Rory and Mitchum. Paris, however, after she didn’t get what she worked years for, went a different path and figured that she needed to become better (not stealing a yacht). She stayed focused and determined, but was less sharp and started taking in new opportunities. Later, she did get in, at the right time. It all worked fine and the rejection helped her become someone better.

Your honor I arrest my case

screw any canon love interests of rory’s, i am rooting for paris

Paris: I had this biggest crush on a girl at school and I didn't know how to deal with it so I left a note that said "get out of my school" inside her locker

Rory: THAT WAS YOU????

Rory and Paris in "Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist" (4.17) GILMORE GIRLS (2000 - 2007)

happy pride month from all the gay couples on gilmore girls !!

season 1: enemies to friends to lovers to enemies again! is this burning an eternal flame? ❤️‍🔥

season 2: making up, maybe a surprise kiss under the mistletoe at the bracebridge dinner? (after their onstage kiss as romeo and juliet, of course.) also, the moral quandary of whether you should be dating your presidential running mate.

season 3: feeling peskily distracted from jess and jamie! torn asunder by the machinations of francie, who hates love! post-cspan debacle make-ups and ... make-outs?? you know, most of the time they really hated each other. (not!)

season 4: oh my god, they were roommates (with bonus: finally-single rory hates paris/asher for obvious reasons, but also maybe ... jealousy reasons?? cue mr. brightside.) let's all take a moment to appreciate that in this season they canonically locked lips. 💋

season 5: asher is dead and paris is ready to rebound; rory and dean 2.0 is so over; paris thinks rory looks very cute in her best man suit

season 6: no men! just lots and lots of chinese food! (and a treadmill.)

season 7: i don't know, having cute hair and being in love and kissing in the snow after they abandoned their life-plan whiteboards to go tray sledding or whatever. my apologies to logan and doyle, exemplary s7 steady boyfriends.

ayitl: paris is divorced! rory is rootless! it's never too late for your dreams to come true!

so it just soooo happened that paris had to play the romeo to rory’s juliet. cool cool cool cool cool
