Jess automatically wins as Rory’s best boyfriend because he never had to meet Christopher

[nero-spicy-sucks06]

The first time we see Christopher Rory only recognises him after Lorelai addresses him . How long ago did he last show up that she doesn't recognise him without confirmation

Ya know, I really think Richard would have weighed Luke reimagining his father's business into his own practice in the same location on a lot higher of a scale.

No it's not the same hardware store but he learned from him and then utilized the same storefront for his own business that's been open and thriving for at least a decade and a half.

Richard would have heard that and respected Luke regardless of what business it is.

Christopher and Lorelai both sprinted from their families and family businesses and Luke worked with his father until his death and then kept his spirit alive.

I wish ASP had a more consistent grasp on people's emotions and responses.

Surely someone must have written the Everlark Gilmore Girls AU right? Because like -

Fiercely independent single mother Katniss Everdeen raising her sweet, intelligent daughter Prim (who is so close in age they’re practically sisters), and friends with the bakery/café owner Peeta who keeps her fed in cheese buns and bread, and sees her everyday while quietly and patiently pining.

FT: Best friend Madge who Katniss later opens a business with. Grumpy town eccentric Haymitch. Flamboyant dance studio owner and gossip Effie. Prim's best friend Rue who Katniss also ends up mothering because that's who she is. Estranged mother Mrs Everdeen who Katniss felt abandoned by but adores Prim. Local fashion designer Cinna who took Katniss in when she first arrived. And then Prim’s father and Katniss’s teenage sweetheart Gale comes back around periodically wanting another chance but doesn’t realise they’ve changed too much to ever be together.

I know that in the 2000s storylines just ran different on TV shows and the new CW was downplaying what ASP brought to Gilmore Girls so she had to walk away, but I still can't forgive Amy for putting Luke and Lorelai into the situations she did in S6 and destroying their relationship. Her giving the middle finger to the CW with that S6 finale really just screwed over the fans and her characters instead.

LOGAN immediately being there for rory when richard was in the hospital is PROOF that he is NOT her christopher… christopher couldn’t be bothered to come and be there for lorelai whereas LUKE didn’t hesitate for one second to be there for her… much to think about

[bellzsad]

there's more but i can't fit them..

put reasonings in comments/reblogs!!

[squeliy]

it speaks VOLUMES that logan and luke were at the hospital when richard had a heart attack but christopher wasn't.... logan and luke are lorelai and rorys best relationships Ill die on that hill

[aistute]

Watching Gilmore girls for the first time, yes I know I'm late to it, but I have so much hate for Lorelai and Christopher relationship. Luke Danes girl all the way.

[jessmmariano]

One thing I will never understand is how certain people in the Gilmore Girls community will look at a traumatized, abandoned teenager like Jess and practically crucify him for not being a good boyfriend to Rory and then look at a privileged, arrogant, reckless adult like Logan and think it’s okay for him to act that way because he grew up with sad birthday parties…

Same goes for Christopher (not that I’d ever defend him). People hate him with a passion for being irresponsible and careless and arrogant and pretty similar to Logan. But Logan is perfect and can do no wrong in their eyes…

GILMORE GIRLS RELATIONSHIPS AS ONE DIRECTION SONGS.

my credentials: i am a gilmore girls account, i have been a directioner for twelve years. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

( rory & logan: the relationship we were brainwashed into thinking was the healthiest of all time )

change my mind. “we should say goodbye, but we carry on while everyone’s gone / are we friends or are we more, as i’m walking toward the door, i’m not sure / ‘cause i don’t wanna know i’m walking away, if you’ll be mine / if you say you want me to stay, stay for the night, i’ll change my mind.” || this works as a mirror from their og fwb to logan’s inevitable departure. it’s giving mr. big & carrie. wHAT THE HELL!!!!

long way down. “we’ve been in fire, went down in flames. we sailed the ocean, and drowned in the waves / we had it all, yeah, and we walked away / point of no return and now it’s just too late to turn around, i try to forgive you but i struggle ‘cause i don’t know how / we built it up so high and now i’m falling, it’s a long way down.” || they’ve been through SO much in their relationship, there always seems to be an issue. but as rory TRIES to forgive him, finding out he slept with all honor’s bridesmaids really took it to the next level. there’s no point of return, he screwed the pooch (or the bridesmaids).

love you goodbye. “it’s impossible to know if after this we can still be friends, yeah / the way you look i know you didn’t come to apologize / oh, even though it’s over you should stay tonight, if tomorrow you won’t be mine, won’t you give it to me one last time? oh, baby, let me love you goodbye / because if this is it, then at least we can end it right.” || if this isn’t logan and rory in ayitl at their final night… THEN YOU’RE FUCKING WRONG!

( lorelai & christopher: the couple that was supposed to stay in high-school )

fool’s gold. “but i know in my heart, you’re not a constant star / and yeah, i let you use me from the day that we first met, but i’m not done yet, falling for you fool’s gold / and i know in my heart, you’re just a moving part / yeah, i know your love’s not real, that’s not the way it feels, that’s not the way you feel.” || i debated putting this for dean and rory, but i feel like this fits christopher muccccch better. christopher’s love always felt real for lorelai, but it never was and they were never right. he was never a constant but she continued falling, even if it ended horribly every time. ps. he is the fool in this equation.

once in a lifetime. “somehow it feels like nothing has changed, right now my heart is beating the same / once in a lifetime, it’s just right and we are always safe / you are by my side, once in a lifetime you were mine.” || once in a lifetime, they were together. while they try to recreate their high-school years, they never will. because they only worked once in a lifetime.

you & i. “you and i, we don’t wanna be like them, we can make it ‘til the end / maybe they had to take some time, i know how it goes, i know how it goes from wrong and right / did they ever hold each other tight like us? did they ever fight like us?” || a teenage lor & chris watching their parents “pathetic” relationships and wanting more. wanting to be different than their parents.

( rory & jess: the misunderstood novelists )

18. “we made a start, be it a false one, i know / i have loved you since we were 18, long before we both thought the same thing / we took a chance, god knows we tried, yet all along, i knew we’d be fine.” || this can be interpreted in a hundred different ways. this is the one i could talk about for hours. i personally take this platonically, their deep and emotional care for eachother since they were teenagers. “long before we both thought the same thing” is pretty self explanatory when it comes to literati. jess has always cared for her and always knew, they’d be fine in the end. even if they weren’t together.

does he know? “i catch your eye then you turn away but there’s no hiding the smile on your face / he’ll never know the way you lie when you look at me / does he know that you’re out and i want you so bad / does he know that you’ll never go back?” || i wish jess was in a boyband and wrote this about dean, i really, really do. boyband au jess when? anyways, this makes me think of the bracebridge dinner. that perfect look dean caught mixed with jess’s delicious smirk. 🫦

where do broken hearts go? “counted all my mistakes and there’s only one standing out from the list of the things i’ve done / all the crimes on your face don’t come close to the look on your face when i let you go / are you sleeping, baby, by yourself? or are you giving it to someone else? / come on, baby, i need you now. where do broken hearts go?” || jess knows he fucked up by not saying goodbye. both their hearts are broken, and both of them are gone. broken hearts go to venice btw!

( lorelai & luke: the only couple this fandom agrees on… mostly )

everything about you. “you just call my name, i’ll be coming through / on the other side of the world, it don’t matter, i’ll be there in two / and you have always been the only one i wanted, and i wanted you to know without you i can’t face it / it’s everything about you.” || 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻 god, they make my heart happy.

i wish. “he takes your hand, i die a little, i watch your eyes and i’m in riddles / but i see you with him slow dancing / tearing me apart ‘cause you don’t see, whenever you kiss him, i’m breaking, oh how i wish that was me / oh how i wish that was me with my hands on your waist, while we dancing in the moonlight. / how i wish that was me.” || this song has made me think of them for YEARS. when luke is watching lorelai dance with max, later resulting in them dancing in moonlight at liz’s wedding. my most favvvoooirrte one yet <3

HONORABLE MENTIONS.

emily & richard - moments. “it makes this harder and the tears stream down my face / if only we could have this life for one more day, if we could only turn back time / my love, my heart is breathing for this moment, in time, i’ll find the words to say before you leave me today.” || you guys… don’t make me say it <\3

dean & rory - over again. “now she’s feeling so low since she went solo / so can we do it all over again? / you know, i can tell that your heart isn’t in it or with it / we can both remove the masks and admit we regret it from the start / i will give you all my heart, so we can start it all over again.” || the fucking “after marriage” relationship fiasco.

sookie & jackson - truly madly deeply. “i can’t believe that you are here and lying next to me / and all those sleepless nights and daydreams where i pictured this / truly, madly deeply, i am foolishly completely falling / should i put coffee and granola on a tray in bed and wake you up with all the words i still haven’t said?” || the beginning of their relationship was so cutie

dave & lane - happily. “i know you wanna leave so cmon baby be with me, so happily / i don’t care what people say when we’re together / and if he feels my traces in your hair, sorry, love, but i don’t really care.” || pretend he is mrs. kim! FUCK. I MISS. THEM.

[sweetbrei]

You know what makes me sad? Christopher's jealousy around Luke was ALWAYS about Lorelai and never about Rory. He never really tried to be Rory's dad, just Lorelai's husband. And you can see how sad that makes Rory especially after Gigi is born. Because then he's being someone's dad but still not really acting like she matters until they both cut him off.

Gilmore Girls as Taylor Swift Songs

Style is a Rory x Jess song - you can practically relate every lyric to them (i.e. you got that long hair, slick back, white t-shirt and I got that good girl thing and a tight little skirt).

The Way I Loved You is also a Rory x Jess song ("But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain. And it's 2:00am and I'm cursing your name, so in love that you act insane and that's the way I loved you"). The boyfriend she is currently with who says "You look beautiful tonight" is either Dean when they got back together or Logan.

Fifteen is about season one Rory x Dean, when they first met and got together. The line "When you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them" references when Rory was struggling to say 'I love you' back.

This Is Me Trying is a Rory Gilmore song.

You're On Your Own, Kid is definitely about Lorelai Gilmore. As is Anti Hero. They both tell the story of her teenage years, living at home with Emily and Richard. Whereas, The Last Great American Dynasty is the story of her leaving home and her relationship with her parents as a result.

Midnight Rain feels like it's about Rory x Dean. (About their break up and how their relationship was flawed.) Especially because of lyrics like, "He wanted a bride, I was making my own name" and "I broke his heart 'cause he was nice".

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) is Rory and Jess' entire love story. Mostly because of this: "Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much but maybe this thing a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up. Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well".

Exile is Lorelai's point of view on Rory's relationships (especially with Jess/Logan) - "I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending", because the relationships remind her of her relationship with Christopher.

[theboldandthebootyful]

The hottest thing Luke ever did was punch Christopher in the face.

[theone]

I am approaching storylines i really do not like...

[folkloremay]
