it's 1:30 am and i'm thinking about how logan and rory both grow up feeling like their lives aren't really theirs. how logan uses risk and impulse as a way to feel some semblance of control over his life in response to his father's control. how in contrast, rory spends her life with a tight grip on just about everything, clings to safety and a clear path forward, because she worries that her success is the thing holding her and her mom's life together.

#logan leans into recklessness and rory leans into careful control #how those different approaches reflect their different relationships with their parents #logan is just full of resentment and anger while rory loves her mom so much and couldn't stand it if she didn't make her proud #i could say so much about logan's consistent willingness to risk his life. cause at least that means it's his to risk.#rory feels that nothing is hers to risk. nothing at all!#and how their relationship helps them both find balance between these two extremes #logan realizing that finding love and care for himself and others is its own way of rebelling against his upbringing #or that love and care is more important than rebelling at all #rory realizing that sometimes you need to jump to make anything happen #that her life should be hers not just the fulfillment of what lorelai's 'should have' been #they just. were building a life together that was something other than what so many people thought they should build.#it was theirs and no one else's. and it helped them each feel for once like their lives were their own. i feel SICK.#idkkkkk goodnight #rogan #rory x logan #logan huntzberger #rory gilmore #u already know this is not going in the main gg tag
