In order to beat you, I'd have to become you and I'm better than that. At least I want to be.

Gem and Etho are from the same snowy mountain village, and it was his footsteps she followed in when she left her home behind to join the royal army in search of something greater.

Etho never wanted to be a solider, he only did it to protect his home and his family.

For as long as she could remember, all Gem has ever wanted was to be a knight, to be the strongest and the greatest.

Gem has no idea that Etho is the same knight that inspired her when she was young, his appearance and mannerisms much too different for her to make the connection.

Etho knows exactly who she is. All he can see when they cross paths is the little girl who followed him around the village with a wooden sword. He hates what she has become.

My ranking of all 157 episodes of Gilmore Girls - including AYITL

So @frazzledsoul likes to do these fun lil polls weighing in on IMDB ranked GG episodes and it always makes me want to deep dive and talk about my extremely normal google sheet where I like to work on my personal ranking of episodes. I can't help it - I love arbitrary little list-making.

So how does one even go about ranking a list of 153 episodes (157 if you count AYITL which I know doesn't really make sense but I include it for some reason)? Forget about the why lol. I keep a list on my phone and if I'm hanging on the couch watching, I'll rank each episode as I feel in the moment. I focus on individual seasons so the episodes are fresher in my mind. Opinions of course shift and change as time and whims come and go - this is the current version.

I color code each season to keep the designations more clear - a rainbow scale starting with S1 in red.

When trying to go through and rank from 1-157, I start by looking at my top favorite episode from each season which is the episode in row 1. I pick my most favorite from that group of 8, remove it from the column and add it to the new list, then bump up the column it came from. Then you repeat the process over and over - look at the 8 episodes in row 1, pick your favorite, then bump up the next. That's how you don't get too weighed down by the different seasons and their contexts - just look at that list - which do you love/enjoy/think is most important? Whatever terms you're using to rank. Much easier to pick from 8 than 157 at once. If you've properly ranked your seasons, this should work.

I like this color system because then when you look at the full list, patterns in how much you really like each season really jump out. I enjoy finding patterns!

I don't want this post to be like, out of control gigantic so I'll make another post breaking down some patterns, opinions and observations on my ranking.

One thing that makes me happy about this list is that no matter how much I don't love most of the last few seasons, I can confidently say I think GG has at least 100 great episodes and every season has at least some of that greatness. Not good or fine, but truly great. That's bragging rights because most long-running shows I love can not remotely say the same lol.

I'll elaborate on this list later but there you have it! Fight me, agree with me, demand answers from me, or just pat me on the head and say "damn girl you live like this???"

Happy poetry month! In the spirit of the month, what's your favourite poem? I'm not an avid poetry reader but mine is We Only Want the Earth.

Ooooh I'll have to check that one out, I don't think I've read it!

Hmmm as for favorite poem, there's a few I throw out as my top poem with frequency, but here I've got to say The Bridge by C. Dale Young. I just adore its positivity and the way it isn't afraid to be in love with the small details of life. That's just a feeling I relate with so much in my life and the whole poem is SUCH a vibe. Think I called it my idea of the world's greatest love poem in an essay once (which is def A Claim which idk if I'd fully back up now but the vibes are there) because it isn't just a poem about being in love with someone, it's loving everything they do and everything around you and loving just the world as a whole and how you see it everyday. Its such a vibe fr

Just- THIS !!!! ^^^^^^

Have you ever wanted something so badly, but you just know you're not gonna get it?

[greeenchrysanthemums]

I'm so sorry for the spam reblog of your GG rivals au stuff, but!!!! I'M SO. Ahem, I'm so so normal about it (<- lies).

I'm so curious how Gem got her start in the army and how she advanced rank seemingly so quickly! I mean I don't know the ages in this but I assume she's mayyybe in her late twenties? I dunno just a guess, but it also begs the question of when she joined? I mean you said that she always wanted to join the army so I'd imagine her joining at a similar age as Etho. Either way! Geminislay!

I just love this au so much! I'm gonna think about it all the time ♡

Hello! It's so exciting to get asks for this au! I'm so glad that people seem to like it so much. And not to worry, I quite enjoying seeing everyone being so excited about my au in my notifications. It is a delight.

As for your question:

She did join the army at around the same age Etho had, so maybe 16-17 (he is 9 or so years older than her here).

After leaving her hometown and enlisting, she became Impulse's squire. This was where she met Scott as well. He was a friend of Impulse's, and therefore she naturally seen a lot of him. They all grew close very quickly.

Right from the start, she showed exceptional swordsmanship, as well as brilliant organizational skills. She was quick-witted and a natural leader capable of taking charge in stressful situations, so her climb in rank was only natural.

Her first promotion was, coincidentally, because of Grian. She was only a few months into her stay at the castle when an explosion was set off in the courtyard and the weapons room was broken in to. While everyone else was panicked and unsure of what to do, she stepped up and led evacuation efforts before running off on her own to face Grian. She was the only one who managed to stop him from taking a great deal of weaponry, and even had him restrained for a period of time before he escaped. This bumped her right up into knighthood, where she was finally able to serve beside her friends instead of under them.

She would remain a knight for several years after that, and she was regularly assigned to deal with all things Grian since she seemed to be the only one capable of subduing him. It was never anything as grand as breaking into the castle again, but she helped stop her fair share of riots, and ran him out of town before he could start anything all together.

Her next major promotion wouldn't be until she was around 23-24. She ended up fighting in a war with a neighboring kingdom (more details on that another time, I do not want to spoil everything too quickly) in which she took charge of many battles, as well as worked with the previous commander to formulate strategies.

She was at first seen as arrogant and cocky by her peers for how quick she was to input her own ideas and boss them around, but that didn't last very long as it became evident that she knew what she was doing. In fact, she quickly became highly respected, maybe even a little feared, for how deadly and efficient she was.

Following the death of the previous commander during the war, Ren only saw it fit that he give the title and responsibilities over to her despite her young age. She had more than proved herself time and time again, and there was no one better for the job.
