sorry but when lorelai's out of town for the spa and rory has the house to herself and dean wants to come over and shes like um i kinda just want a night alone to do my laundry and eat indian food and watch tv and enjoy the empty house but i'll spend all day tomorrow with you, don't be mad, and he's like ughhhhh, long drawn out sigh, verbatim "i'm not mad, i'm confused but i'm not mad, i'm a saint but i'm not mad" literally vile behavior sorry. like before he said that i was like okay this is mostly normal 17 year old behaviors, rory worrying about him being mad at her is concerning but she's young and a big people pleaser so i get it, but jesus fucking christ. it's the "i'm a saint" that makes me feel murderous. tbh.

rory and dean get coffee after school and then they kiss goodbye and then rory talks to lane for two minutes and then goes home and in that timeframe (i have to assume 15 minutes at the most) lorelai informs her that dean has called twice. this is normal behavior.

#also lorelai constantly reinforcing that dean is a great boyfriend to rory and that shes lucky to have someone who treats her so well is...#its rough its real rough like #hes not a terrible awful person like its not the end of the world but he definitely sucks a lot of the time #and i really struggle with how often the narrative seems to push this idea of Dean Is A Nice Boy down your throat when hes just not #i mean one thing thats good about this show is everyone has their ups and downs everyone has good days and bad days #but i have such a hard time w dean #1) bc he has almost no storyline outside of his relationship with rory and is therefore boring as hell #and the fact that he has no story outside of that means hes All About Rory All The Time and it comes across quite obsessive and overbearing #2) he's constantly framed as being The Perfect Boyfriend while what we actually see is extremely needy/territorial and sometimes aggressive #the fact that we constantly see rory worrying about if she Accidentally Made Him Mad? it's NOT cute #3) this isnt the writers fault but man i find jared padalecki so unlikable. but that might be bc i grew up seeing him in this role so...#gilmore girls
