at the end of the day gilmore girls is a show about how a girl tried to get away from her mentally abusive parents but is constantly forced to reconcile and have them in her life and feel constant guilt about the life she created for herself
#like................rory wouldnt have ended up like That if she never had richard and emily in her life longterm like she did#like it truly went to hell when she decided to go to yale instead of harvard like perhaps if she went to harvard. she wouldnt have#become season 5 rory and if she hadnt had richard and emily as near constant presences in her life since 16 she wouldnt have#had a mental breakdown when she got criticized for the first time in her life#but the privilege sure does kick in around season 5 for real also speaking of yale like the biggest surprise of the whole show#is that marty isnt a serial killer but anyway.#lorelai knowing that her parents were so bad for her mental health and wellbeing that she just went out on her own#and made her own life for herself and turned away millions of dollars to be a maid instead like... real#if i could pack up and leave my family behind and never speak to them again because theyre#manipulators and mental abusers i would in a heartbeat#if it was still 1985 and you could eventually buy yourself a house by working as a maid id be out of here#so i get it when everytime rory chooses that life over the one lorelai made shes like. um. ok i failed. like i get it#anyway the show is a cautionary tale about having toxic family members in your life is detrimental to everything.

what's the deal with casey and nell
UUUHHMMM
just kidding ill try to give you a real answer. i posed this question to marty (nells giver of life) and they said "idfk" too so i hope that gives you an idea of the hot stovetop nature of this question.
THE CLOSEST LABEL I COULD PUT ON THEM WOULD BE FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS BUT THEYRE NOT EVEN FRIENDS...? casey moved in with nell after she was arrested for trying to blow up booster gold, and nell, as a new-ish solo superhero (ladybug) decided rehabilitating a supervillain (if you could even call casey that..) would be a nice check on their personal to-do list of hero-y things to do. but as it will turn out casey is completely unrepentant and unwilling to change or even see that she did anything wrong so thats kind of. the rehab thing just isnt happening. but through living together and starting to [look away this is private] nell has become used to caseys presence, like a mold growing on their shower curtains. At first the relationship was just a duel "hes so easy to manipulate!" (rent free and out of jail arrangement for casey earned by gaining sympathy through lied about tragic backstories, even though nell never believed them in the first place and just thought her pathetic desperation was funny) (the satisfaction of being the one person keeping casey off the streets and killing people i guess, on nells part. (even though casey is Not like a serial killer..booster was just special <3) Being able to just glare at casey and have her cower and wail and go SORRYY FOR trying to poison the neighbors ill NEVER DO IT AGAIN) They become to used to each other and occasionally have moments of watching chopped together and realizing they arent even annoyed with eachother at the moment... so maybe they DO become friends. eventually. also the thing with nell is that shes a brick fucking wall and would not will not admit to anyone, not herself and absolutely not to casey that she likes her even a little bit. caseys really stupid and arrogant though so she just assumes nell is obsessed with her anyways so it doesnt really matter. until it does. but mostly it doesnt
#their relationship is so crazy and stupid there are many other aspects of it i havent even touched on but um here you go#casey#asks#caseybug
