Gilmore girls boyfriend ranking (these are my opinions you are allowed to disagree but like don’t yell at me please I’m fragile)

1. Dave (my beloved has never done anything wrong in his life ever)

2. Jess (he screws up A LOT but he gains points for s6 and for being my little meow meow)

3. Morey (he serenades his wife daily, need I say more?)

4. Kirk (10/10 devotion will not even LOOK at another woman even if it mean crossing the street with his eyes closed)

5. Luke (I love him he waited EIGHT YEARS for her but he loses points for s6/7)

6. Richard (he screws up sometimes but he’s Emily’s no.1 fan devoted 4 life they’re made for each other)

7. Max (good guy had rizz but just not The Guy unfortunately)

8. Alex (it’s billy burke the only reason he’s not higher is we barely see him but he is good vibes and like the only guy we see get on with lorelai’s friends)

9. Jason (funny but not The Guy, plus kinda a snob. I like Jason though he’s entertaining, even if the idea of him and Lorelai actually having sex does not compute in my brain AT ALL)

10. Jamie (he was sweet and kinda deserved better tbh still a little boring)

11. Doyle (devoted and entertaining but a little boring at times - I wanted more for Paris)

12. Marty (we all know a Marty and I hate to say it but I think he’d be a terrible boyfriend and a bad kisser)

13. Jackson (mad points lost for lying about having a vasectomy that was not cool man)

14. Henry (he bailed on lane - fool)

15. Logan (I’m sorry but he loses SO MANY points for gaslighting those scenes trigger me so hard)

16. Tristan (he loses points for actual harassment but at least he’s mildly complex)

17. Zach (I hate him)

18. Christopher (no)

19. Dean (the hardest no)

20. Asher (die)

I’ve probably forgotten someone I made this in a fever dream like four months ago and decided to post it on a whim lol

🎈 Lorelai & Max moodboard 🎈

My partner has hated Max since his first appearance, disliking how pushy he is with Lorelei and how he is pursuing a relationship with his newest student's Mom. It was really interesting to hear, since I have always had a soft spot for Max, and I think his appeal lies in that he is an intellectual guy with enough confidence and insistence to avoid falling into the unattractive nerd troupe. (Which shouldn't exist, but definitely does, just look at Brian.) I think the pushyness or aggressiveness my partner was picking up on was created to make him more sexy to a 2000 audience, which doesn't land to a 2020 audience. I have noticed liking Max less and less the more I rewatch the series too. Lorelei is clearly soooo hesitant to start anything with him, and moreso seems flattered by the attention and gets convinced into dating him. This continues throughout their relationship, shown by the proposal and the breakup.

Growing up is realizing Max Medina was the fucking WORST. God I cannot explain the rage that fills me anytime I see someone criticize Lorelai for this relationship not working. This man PROPOSED because they got into a fight. They hadn’t even been together a YEAR. He blamed Lorelai for everything when she has a fucking kid and a life and shouldn’t be expected to fit into whatever he wanted her to be. Did he not think it’s a red flag he’d never met her family? Did they ever celebrate a birthday, Christmas or fucking Arbor Day together? I’m not saying Lorelai was perfect in this relationship, but he was just as immature if not worse. I haven’t even touched on him being Rory’s teacher. I wish just one person could have told Lorelai thank god you didn’t go through with it! I was worried you were rushing into things. This guy seems a little immature, impulsive and demanding!

[big-idiot-wolf-boys]

Something I'm thinking about today is how lorelai was fully disinterested in Max being involved in Rory's life as a parent and hated it when Luke wanted the same with her after April came into the picture. hm. 🤔

[bellzsad]

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

put reasonings in comments/reblogs!!

[hyper-jam]

See, Luke Danes and Max Medina are like my type in men IN THEORY (they’re amazing and I have daddy issues sorry)

However Jess is my type in like actual people I’ve met and had crushes on in my life and I just…

I love him and I hate that I love him HE MAKES ME SO MAD LMFAO /aff

[annamatix]

AGAIN. LORELAI. YOU'RE DATING SOMEONE. WHY ARE YOU OPENLY KISSING YOUR EX. A GOODBYE KISS IS NOT IMPULSIVE THAT IS A THOUGHT-OUT ACTION.

Following my previous post on Gilmore Girls and the ideas that flew out of the window every time Rory got a new romantic interest.

Lorelai’s character, just like Rory’s was diminished to two traits. It was of course different from Rory’s, but painfully obvious none the less.

First one being her inability to let go and forgive. Her beef with Emily, her mom, seems so strained even by the middle of the 3rd season, that it is painful to watch. It does, of course, provide a lot of drama and makes the show exciting, but it leaves a bad aftertaste.

Lorelai, canonically, is 32 when the show starts. It has been 15 years since she ran away from her parents to raise Rory on her own. As the show goes on, we see a lot of moments where Lorelai and Emily discover mutual traits that bring them closer. But they never seem to make up.

I do not intent to say that Lorelai is guilty for every horrible thing that happened. Objectively, Richard and Emily are overbearing and extremely nosy people. But every person with troubled relationship with their parents has to ask themselves a question “Is it worth it?”. And in my opinion, Lorelai’s struggle isn’t justified. Because she knows what kind of people her parents are, and so she should know there is no changing that. But every Friday dinner there is always an argument between her and Emily about some stupid thing, that she keeps on talking about, instead of freezing the conversation. Lorelai is a grown woman, so she really had to snap out of whatever she was in, when making her parents understand her.

Second thing that she was centered around were commitment issues. And yes, the show would’ve been boring without them, and we wouldn’t have gotten puppy-eyed Luke every time she rolled around the diner with a new boyfriend. But the worst thing is that she kept coming back to her exes.

I understand Chris (to a certain degree), he is Rory’s father and it is inevitable. But there has to be some stopper on the extent to which her relationship with him can go. How is it that we got them getting back together three times in three seasons? Christipher is unreliable and a douche, but we can NOT pin the whole situation on him.

With Max Medina? Same story. Lorelai was happy with him, but she couldn’t do it. Understandable. Great plot twist. But the whole story around Rory’s graduation? Why?

To highlight that Lorelai has less common sense than Rory? That’s just sad. Because she is genuinely an interesting and clever woman, whereas writing of the show isn’t even trying to show her as such.

It feels to me like all concepts for the characters and dialogue was written by one person, but the story development was handled by the other. Which is not a good look.

P. S. Honestly I feel bad for wasting so much breath on a show that’s 24 years.

Next chapter is up! I had it ready to go and it’s more set up so I just posted it, I think I’ll upload weekly from now on unless it’s ready to go (I’m an erratic person 🤷‍♀️) enjoy my pretties!

[strawberrystainedheart]

Help, I think I have a little crush on Max Medina but I mean who wouldn't like a kind, beautiful man teaching English literature, who also cooks, is emotionally available, not scared of commitment and will fill your life with a thousand flowers?

[cerebraljopper]

everyone always talks about this being so romantic but i don’t get it. she literally told him how she wanted her proposal, and he followed directions. like okay? bare minimum?
