behind the scenes 📸💜

[jessmmariano]

Thinking about how Jess was practically kicked out of his house by his addict mother to go live with his uncle, a man he barely knew, only to endure months of scrutiny by the citizens of Stars Hollow because he acted like a teenage boy. Thinking about how, for the majority of his time in Stars Hollow, Jess had zero friends and practically no one to confide in.

Thinking about how Jess started working two jobs and saved enough money to have a car so he could finally have some sort of security in his life. Thinking about how Jess had so much weighing on his mind yet Lorelai and almost the entirety of Stars Hollow acted like he was a delinquent when he was just a scared kid. Thinking about how Jess got kicked out yet again when he was eighteen with no car (because his had been stolen by his uncle), no plans, and no one to depend on.

Thinking about how Jess still managed to grow and make it on his own. Thinking about how Jess managed to become a published author at a young age. Thinking about how Jess’s book was so good he got offered a job at the press that published it. Thinking about how Jess was dealt such a bad hand in life and endured so much and was still able to make a good life for himself.

They're excited about life. It's a college thing.

every time i rewatch the scene where rory speaks to lorelai after losing her virginity to dean, i am more shocked with how frequently people use it to give a bad faith reading of her character. the ‘my dean’ of it all is so often used as a “gotcha” moment to somehow prove what a selfish and horrible person she is, but when taken in the context it takes on a completely different meaning.

was rory right for sleeping with dean whilst he was married to someone else? of course not. does she have some sort of claim to dean? no. BUT that’s not what rory thinks either, not really.

she says, “i’m lucky too, because Dean, he’s … well aren’t you glad that it happened with someone whose good, and really loves me?”

this isn’t about rory’s entitlement, it’s about her compulsion to always be perfect (a narrative that season 4 in particular was stressing throughout). dean, in rory’s mind, is synonymous with a period in her life that she associates with stability - the certainty that she herself is a “good” person.

at this point in season 4, rory hasn’t come to terms with jess’ departure. jess, who lorelai et. al reiterated to her was not “good” and could not “really love [her].” it’s almost as if she’s trying to reassert the balance - to reclaim the stability she associates with her pre-jess relationship (which in reality was never really present, but that’s a whole different tangent).

the word “good” in this scene is so loaded, because we as viewers are not meant to be agreeing that dean /at this point in the show / is a “good” guy. the goodness rory is so desperately clinging onto is her own.

it feels so clear to me that rory in this scene was never meant to be portrayed as a selfish homewrecker, but rather someone on the cusp of a breakdown. a nineteen year old girl unsure, and uncertain, and desperate and afraid.
