Jess Mariano wearing a Dinosaur Jr. band tee underneath his blazer at the Truncheon Open House is yet another reason why season 6 lives rent free in my head :)

Aaand I just had this exchange with @clerati :

So there you go. 😂

*Gently smacking Rory Gilmore's nose with a rolled up newspaper every time she keeps going back to the masticated remains of an ex-boyfriend*

"No! Put that DOWN!" "Leave it..."

RORY GILMORE & JESS MARIANO + FALL

[alyheartsjess]

i like how dean represents rory’s humble small town stars hollow world and logan represents rory’s wealthy ivy league world and rory being torn between these two worlds is basically the theme of the show, so you’d think that the narrative would be very dean vs logan. yet both of them are intimidated not by each other but by this little guy who comes out of nowhere during both relationships, displays an undeniable connection with rory and dips. i love it.

Look, you know we're supposed to be together. I knew it the first time I saw you two years ago, and you know it too. I know you do!

#live slug reaction: literati edition

Oh, exactly. Like, ma’am…do you HEAR yourself!? LOVE? Watching that entire interaction from him sitting down next to her to her getting up to leave is almost too intimate. Am I interrupting something??? 😂

You know why I still rewatch Season 6? Because of that moment in The Real Paul Anka when Rory tells Jess why she loves The Subsect.

"You know why I love your book? It doesn't remind me of anything. It's not a rip off. It's just you."

Do you all know what this single line communicates? To me, I see it as Rory acknowledging how well they actually knew each other. It shows us all the moments we never got to see onscreen. She knew Jess so well that, despite their shared love affair with literature and the potential for little bits of his favorite authors to find their way into the book (as so often happens with first time writers), she tells him how special, unique, and precious it is.

Because it's him.

It's his writing, brand of humor, fears, pain, emotion, etc. all laid bare in this slim paperback. I don't think that was a coincidence on the part of ASP and the props dept. That book is so him that it even resembles the pocket-sized paperbacks he carried around four seasons earlier. They memorized every detail of each other. And even when the scene ends so tragically (it is what it is), that interaction makes the entire relationship worth it to me.

She saw him. He saw her. They knew each other, at least intellectually and soulfully, better than anyone else. It's hard to beat that.
