As much as I love Paris and Doyle together, I would’ve killed to see single Rory and Paris living alone together during their Yale years in that shitty apartment without any men breaking their hearts

[the-dalseum-duet]

I’m going insane

@svwhssftr late night kohlsposting meets queer girlie music taste tag

oh God. oh god KILL ME

bags… i’m not like the biggest Clairo fan ever but i really liked her in middle school and now that bags is blowing up I’m reminded of just how baller her music is. she’s just so airy and cutesy and nostalgic and it makes me want to gut myself. i actually have insane cuteness aggression. i see something cute and i resort to extreme forms of violence. can’t have anything good around here without getting it a lil bloody

(the first time i heard this song was in a rory x paris edit and they’re my one and only comfort ship. they’re so. grrrrr I love them dearly like it physically hurts me that both are “””straight””” BITCH THEY KISSED anyway this is not about the most goated gilmore girls ship. those academic rivals are LESBIANS!!! the writers are SO WRONG)

but i keep seeing posts like “men who listen to Clairo are the most manipulative people of all time” and it’s funny in theory. but. ideas. IDEAS. GRAHHHH

so. this leads me to noeul. Naturally. Manipulative man ever. But noeul does indeed have a soul buried deep down inside him. He is naturally inclined to do things that bring him genuine joy. He is a hopeless romantic bitch HE IS I’M SO SORRY. NATURALLY. HE IS. HE WAS NOT BORN INTO A POSITION WHERE HE COULD FEASIBLY BE ONE. BUT HE IS REGARDLESS. AND HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS

like he obviously has a strong romantic attraction to Charlie. he stays in dirty motels to see her and blindly trusts her multiple times. he proposes to her. that’s a massive fucking deal coming from him. Living in Eden Grove gave him a sliver of life as a normal human being, and he fell head over heels as soon as he had the opportunity. Charlie made him feel safe. But like. In the way that you feel it’s wrong. It’s very queer even though he’s a man. And she is a woman. They are the gayest straight couple ever. It’s a hard phenomenon to describe but it’s so strong and it’s so conflicting but it’s so warm and hopeful and. ughhh. tl;dr Noeul has emotions he knows he should have but knows he can’t have 

but he suppresses these HARD once he returns to Dalseum. he has to be cutthroat again and maintain the image he had with the Council. this only worsens once his father dies. this is why he cheats on Charlie with Sonnet because he feels like he should be with Sonnet. Sonnet is a prominent community member who will blindly agree with him. Charlie is this nobody who opposes his authority. So he freaks out and just throws her in prison so he doesn’t have to think about what could have been. Sonnet is who he realistically should end up with. He cannot afford to do what makes him happy and, in turn, a better fucking human. 

Oh yeah. He absolutely has a breakdown once he learns about the existence of Crow. Also why he actually realizes that there is room for kindness inside of him. Crow’s existence as their child. But that’s neither here nor there rn i just love torturing this man. 

But. Here’s where we torture him more. Kai. Kai fits this into a way that makes me want to bash my head into a wall even more. 

Noeul sleeps around in a feigned attempt to crush his romantic tendencies. He’s not supposed to be sappy. He’s supposed to be cold and all exchanges with others must be neutral, if not beneficial to only him. Which is how he meets Kai. This was established previously. At one of Gale’s shows. 

And. Throwing this out there. Just to toxic-ify this yaoi even further. Noeul actually really fucking likes him. Like he gets flustered occasionally around him. Kai is a dumbass (affectionate) and doesn’t pick up on this but Sara absolutely does and picks at Noeul for this. But Noeul definitely picks up on Kai not actually caring for him so Noeul acts like he doesn’t care either. But ohh hohohoho he does!! This little whore DOES care so much!! He WANTS romantic dates out on the town and he wouldn’t trade the mornings they wake up next to each other for ANYTHING!! HE LOVES HIS STUPID BITS AND THE WAY HE SMILES AND THE WAY HE PERFECTLY FITS INSIDE HIS ARMS!!!! HE LOVES THAT DAMN SHARK BOY!! But Kai’s just oblivious. He’s just like “eh he sleeps around with Everyone. he just wants to have some fun and I’m cool with that. he’s just like that” BUT HE’S ACTUALLY NOT LIKE THAT. THAT’S WHAT HE WANTS EVERYONE TO THINK. THAT’S WHAT HE WANTS EVERYONE BUT KAI TO THINK!!

that’s it. that’s all. 

just. picturing Sara walking in on Noeul violently sobbing face planted onto his bed with Bags by Clairo playing on repeat in the background 

“…are you okay?”

“WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS”

“hungover?”

“worse.”

“kai?”

“NO”

“you’re in love, sang. I’ve never seen you act like that before. stay in denial all you want”

“fuck off sara”

“I’m just saying. It’s better if you figure it out yourself. I’m just pushing you in the right direction”

“there is no right direction here.”

“is that fucking pheobe bridgers?”

“NO!”

“oh-“

“it’s Clairo”

“oh my bad?”

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love

thank you!! and to @svgurl410 , who also sent me this recently! 💕 i don't think i have a definitive five favorite fics because i've been at it for much too long, but here are the five my soul decided upon today!

i'm ready, i'm willing aka my succession fic that will not end [romangerri + THE WHOLE DANG FAM except greg, suck it greg] -- I am pretty sure this is the most challenging fic I've ever written in terms of balancing a lot of characters/relationship dynamics and also dipping into darker themes than I usually explore, so I'm just including it because it is a fave by mere virtue of me not abandoning it yet. it has felt like such an intense workout for my psyche. (yes, i realize that at its core, this fic is about connor and willa adopting alpacas.) last two chapters, you WILL see the light of day someday soon!!!!

forget your troubles (come on, get happy) [ted lasso, ted/rebecca + beard/sharon] -- i just have such happy memories of writing this one. the romcom gods were smiling down on me. i was in a great, sappy, fluffy mood from beginning to end. my ted lasso happiness perhaps reached its peak in this google doc.

whatever our souls are made of [gilmore girls, rory/paris] -- this is about edward cullen from twilight trying to woo rory and paris not standing for it, which automatically makes it my eternal pride and joy.

this is what you wanted [killing eve, villanelle/eve] -- i wrote this after season two; villanelle goes to alaska to get over murdering ("murdering") her beloved! this one is close to my heart since it's close to my home. i also love thinking of killing eve back when it was just those first two seasons. things were simple then, & full of hope! a weird thing to say considering what happens in the s2 finale, but i stand by it!

what are you afraid of, making it better? [gilmore girls, luke/lorelai] -- this is my 'i'm fixing the end of season six! i'm fixing it!' fic and i hold it close for therapeutic reasons. i honestly have kinda felt better about that whole to-do ever since i wrote this. the power of fanfic, babes!!

[that-was-a-bit-stupid-of-you]

warning: a silly little rant by ava about how miserable she is and rory gilmore isn't

rory is so lucky when it comes to guys man

like sm guys tell her she's beautiful and intelligent, when on the other hand I get mansplained to a bunch of times in convos where I clearly know more than them like????

also she gets every guy she likes to like her back- woman tell me your secret (don't let it be blue eyes god)

and her grades???? Top tier. How does she do that?? Ik she studies 24x7 but that amount if attention span is astounding, my adhd could never

and her family is so rich omfg (not her mom but the rest of her fam)

like girl I literally have to give up on my dreams of going to my dream college I wish I had rich grandparents to pay for mit and princeton

and she's so pretty- like honestly everytime the camera focuses on her its like 💖🌟✨✨ 👁 👁 ✨✨🌟💖

alexis bledel makes me gay okay-

homegirl has everything- smarts, looks, confidence, attention from everyone she wants attention from, an awesome mother- the only thing she doesn't have is a good dad or a functional family tbh, but hey neither do i

people are just drawn to her man, she is genuinely the least relatable character (don't get me wrong I love her she's my child) also she gets sm support from EVERYONE around her. An entire town is devoted to The Rory Gilmore and her Intelligence and Kindness and Absolutely Perfectly Wonderful Existence and she has friends who would kill for her (paris) and die for her (lane) and every guy she likes is in love with her- literally head over heels okay

The farthest I've gone is being friends with the guys I like that's it

and did I mention her grades? God I just- the attention span. Come on. There is no way that is possible. Like, she can control when and what to give attention to??? She can control her brain?? Is this a neurotypical thing or am I just stupid?

And she's rich. She doesn't have to give up on her dreams. She doesn't have to forget about ever receiving an email or letter from an ivy league saying she's accepted cuz that's reality for her cuz she's rich asf

Im so jealous omfg, I love rory but she literally has the perfect life wtf

yea that's it

[frazzledsoul]

How the Gilmore Girls crew feels about House of the Dragon, according to me

Sorry, Lorelai. Not going to happen.

Luke: refuses to watch because he’s not going to get anywhere near that thing until GRRM stops getting distracted by shiny objects and finishes TWOW. 

Lorelai: casual fan who can’t tell most of the characters apart, except for Criston Cole, because let’s face it, he is the prettiest of them all. 

Emily: LOL. She’s not getting near this. Her boyfriend watches it, because he’s literally the devil and is looking for tips.

Paris: Rhaenicent truther, of course.

Lane/Zach: Lane is personally too conservative for this show and they’re more Walking Dead people anyway. Zach still has a grudge over Jon Snow not killing the Night King. They are highly anticipating the Richonne show, though.

Dean: Has embraced his suburban dad ways and refuses to watch anything that’s not connected to Yellowstone.

Logan: prefers Succession, on which he is an secret consultant, but he does relate a bit too much to being on the blonde heir apparent who can never live up to expectations. 

Jess: The only person who actually read Fire and Blood (he finished it in a day and a half). Agrees it’s kind of terrible and GRRM probably can’t sustain a narrative to save his life at this point. Still, he’s a little too into Aemond Targaryen. The son ignored by his father, who nurses his grudges until everyone fears him instead of pities him, who destroys everything accidentally on purpose and fulfills everyone’s worst expectations? It’s a little too real. And we haven’t even gotten to the part where he’s pathetically in love. Logan tells him it’s just a mancrush on Ewan Mitchell and that’s why he watched World On Fire all the way to the end, but Rory loved that one because World On Fire is about a confused brunette who can’t choose between his gorgeous blonde and and his gorgeous brunette love interest, and who knows more about that than her? Also, Masterpiece Theatre and chill has long been a tradition in the Literati household. 

Rory: Tried reading Fire and Blood but quit after the first twenty pages. Sympathized with Rhaenyra at first but then realized her laziness and terrible decision making reminded her too much of her worst moments, so now her favorite is Alicent.

April: Secretly the top author on AO3 of Heleana/Aemond fics. Sends Jess a lot of Aemond communist memes.

Liz/TJ: I figure they’d root for the lowest common denominator in terms of fan preferences, so they’re into Daemyra.

Kirk: Has never seen an episode of the show, but is earnestly trying to sell Team Green vs Team Black memorabilia.

[clerati]

Tag Game: Pick your top two favorite characters from five of your fandoms and explain why. Bonus points if the two characters have some sort of relationship (romantic, platonic, etc).

I was tagged by @talesofruby01. Thanks for the tag!

I did six fandoms, because at first I could only think of three and then I thought of six. Oh well.

Gilmore Girls - Jess Mariano and Paris Geller

Gossip Girl - Serena van der Woodsen and Jenny Humphrey (sorry Blair!)

Yellowjackets - Jackie Taylor and Shauna Sadecki née Shipman

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (TMMM) - Luke Kirby's Lenny Bruce and Astrid Weissman (sorry Imogene!)

The Vampire Diaries - Elena Gilbert and Katerina/Katherine Petrova/Peirce (Nina Dobrev supremacy!)

The Hunger Games (THG) - Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark

Tagging: @dayenurose, @stellaluna33, @strideofpride, @hydesjackiespuddinpop

Explanations on my choices under the cut! You're about to find out way too much about me via the blorbos :)

Gilmore Girls - Jess Mariano and Paris Geller

Criminally robbed of the besties bonus points I deserve...

Jess Mariano is my character of all time. I'll fight you. The highlights: Jess comes from an abusive, loveless family situation and is a bit prickly from the ordeal (both to himself and others), but is just such a goodhearted and hardworking person that he gets out the other side with both loving relationships (with himself and others) and a good, safe life that he’s built for himself. Character of all time!!! Who does it for us like Jess Mariano?

Paris is incredibly ambitious and a little bit of a bitch (in a cool, sexy way), and therefore I love her. Also, your honor she’s a repressed lesbian. These things happen. And I will never get over how quickly she comes to understand Marxist theory when working her first job. She was never a snob; she literally was just never exposed to anything outside the upper-class.

My man Jess would have helped her with that and it would have been amazing. And he would have been comfortable living in that scary apartment with her (and Doyle) and Rory.

Gossip Girl - Serena van der Woodsen and Jenny Humphrey

When I have to shorthand my self, I say "I'm a Serena van der Woodsen type". The only reason I relate more to her than Jess in terms of self is because Serena and I shared the incredible lows of teenage girldom (plus we’re both exceptionally beautiful). Also, Jess never did drugs (cigarettes count, but they don't, also I don't think they were really a habit). Good for him! Don't do drugs! Serena definitely did drugs, and she started them (and boys, who don’t love her but sure do think she’s pretty!) very young. The incredible lows of teenage girldom... and how they stick to you into womanhood... She tries so hard to “change” when really she needs to change her situation, but that’s the struggle... How do you leave everyone and everything you’ve ever loved? And even if you could, is there really anywhere on earth you can escape the incredible lows of girldom/womanhood?

Which brings me to Jenny Humphrey. I’m not even gonna start on the incredible lows of teenage girldom because just watch the show, my poor girl... ANYWAY! Did I mention that I love seeing ambition in girls and women? She’s the living embodiment of going after what you want, *and she’s earned it*. She becomes Queen, not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES, and it was only sort of on purpose once!! And do not get me started on her high school fashion career. It kills me that her family wasn’t more supportive, but I know she’ll be successful because literally no one and nothing could ever stop her. And, I know this one is probably a hot take, but I honestly think she’s a really good person. She fights against the corrupting force of the UES better than most, and she is a really sweet and earnest person when she feels safe enough to just be herself.

Yellowjackets - Jackie Taylor and Shauna Sadecki née Shipman

Bonus points: They're in love! (Yes, present tense.)

Talking about teenage girldom and how it sticks to you into womanhood... I could write essays, but I'll just say this. Jackie is my favorite. She's most of us (I say assuming my experiences are universal). She is the metaphor for what happens when you devote yourself to the role assigned at teenage girlhood (it makes you repressed, i.e. the death of the self).

Shauna is a metaphor for all the fight it takes to survive teenage girldom into womanhood, and how it's a never-ending fight (she's the friend/lover, she's the mother/daughter, she's the hater/butcher/killer).

Teenage girldom is traumatic experience and it colors your adulthood, and that's the show, but also these two characters are the clearest metaphors on that main theme. Everything is a metaphor!!! Also, they're both sides of the repressed sapphic romantic-friendship. Hard relate, my girls!

TMMM - Luke Kirby's Lenny Bruce and Astrid Weissman

Some of you may be asking, Why not Midge? Why not Susie? Well, this is my list and I do what I want.

Luke Kirby's Lenny Bruce needs no explanation. He is the dream man. He's earnest and exceptionally romantic, and there's something about him you can't help find admirable to the point of inspirational. Maybe it's that he's brave and honest. Maybe it's that he's ambitious in that way that's hard to be as a woman. Maybe he's just really charming, because he's that for sure. But, of course, he's a mess too. Who isn't?

Astrid Weissman! She's so so so funny. She's not trying to be funny. She's not making jokes. She's just delightful! Also, all of us out there swimming in cultures that are not those in-which we were raised. Astrid Weissman has got you with her over-correcting, overcompensating, and just sheer enthusiasm. You go, Astrid!

The Vampire Diaries - Elena Gilbert and Katerina/Katherine Petrova/Peirce

Bonus points: They're related/doppelgangers!

UGH! If they aren’t the dichotomy of self, idk what is!!!

Elena is *such* a good person. She is literally the martyr she is such a good person. She loves and she will die for that love. That’s Elena. But it’s all about circumstances. Elena is an orphan (she had a beautiful, loving family before they died) suffering from survivor’s guilt, and she’s mostly keeping herself together with her love for her loved ones. If she isn’t living for them, she’s just gonna disappear.

Now, Katerina/Katherine, she’s got kind of the opposite thing going on. She had her newborn baby she loved very much ripped from her arms before being disowned by her family and banished from her hometown. She has no one who loves her and no one to love. She holds herself together with love of self or she’s just gonna disappear. And that she does. She is a ruthless pragmatist, because she has to be to survive. Because the world is harsh and cruel (and frankly really sexist), but she’s clever and strong, and she survives. That’s what she does. Elena dies for you. Katerina/Katherine survives despite you. Everything is a metaphor!!! My favorite thing about Katerina/Katherine is that she doesn’t *just* survive. No, she *loves* life. She’ll literally be being held captive by a vampire who has been hunting her relentlessly for hundreds of years, and she’ll take a moment alone in the house to drink and dance, because what’s a spare moment if it’s not being lived? Life is not just about survival.

THG - Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark

Bonus points: They're basically soulmates!

Here's the thing. Katniss is a survivor/pragmatist with zero social skills, but an endless and earnest pit of love and enough passion to literally fuel a revolution.

Peeta is a child abuse victim who has learned to wield social manipulation (the charm offensive! plus literally lying!), but hasn't met an honest expression of emotion in his life (until he figures he's about to die so he might as well tell Katniss she's pretty) and doesn't know how to receive love.

They literally just fit each other. Peeta is charming when Katniss literally cannot. Katniss helps him survive when he's literally dying in a river camouflaged in mud and plants. But most importantly, Peeta teaches Katniss how to live in more than just survival mode, and Katniss reaches into her deep well of love and teaches Peeta how to be loved. Everything is a metaphor, but your honor, they are the couple of all time!!!

fmk rory, paris and lane

minors look far far away because i am about to say some out of pocket stuff.

this one is… wow. i want to be with literally any of them, i love them all so much. that being said, i would marry rory because i feel like we have a lot in common and she would get me and we could be very happy together. i would kill lane, as much as it hurts to say, mostly because i feel she would be very annoyed and distressed to find out that i listen to almost ENTIRELY taylor swift. and i would fuck paris because i feel like she would be really mean to me and bossy if i wanted and i am truly sick in the head.

thank you for the ask!! sleepover time!

[enchantedlandcoffee]

For the character ask game: Paris Geller 3, 9, and 15?

hiii!!! ooh I love Paris

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

The whole 'Asher Fleming' storyline. It creeped me out so much and it felt weird how she became very 'guy oriented' when she was with him and it felt very out of character to me.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

I desperately want to say yes, because she'd help me stay organised, but honestly I'd be terrified of rooming with her. I would definitely be flat mates with her as I think she'd be so good for my ADHD. However, if we were roommates, she would kill me in my sleep.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

For a romantic ship, I loved Paris and Doyle. Both of their individual weirdness complimented each other so well and they were honestly so cute.

For a platonic ship, I have to go with her and Jess. As much as I love Rory and Paris being friends, the scene of Jess, Paris and Rory in 'There's The Rub' is honestly one of my favourites and I'm so sad that we didn't see more of them.

Character Ask Game

[thebadtimewolf]

don't look, its a 3 am observation my mind noticed before i fell asleep that i drafted in a cold sweat.

time to make a hot observation take ive noticed in every corner of dw: 'any ship that isnt doctorrose is inferior because ours is canon! we won!' so was doctorromana and doctorcharley and doctorriver but then i see how yall blantly ignore how and thoschei and doctordonna outlived them both because the doctor treats them more of a romance than the literal romantic interests yall shove at them that rivals the same energy as the evil stepmother cutting off the toes and heels of her children to fit in the glass shoe. the shoe wont stop the bleeding and at this point i dont think billie is gonna return as rose.

i think from the moves she making outside of dw, she gonna comeback as villainess the rani and yall are gonna get pissy because 'if it aint the typecast then dont come back.' dont act like i aint witness the same people that was happy billie was back turned right back around to insulting her voice because she wasnt playing rose like they been waiting to for her to do and automatically go 'oh its rose its just xyz' like genderless entity simply known as girl, if thats rose then rose got reduced to an atomic bomb as a little kitchy box you can buy at hobby lobby on tv as an anniversary event and i know damn well at that point - you don't want rose back. you want your yt self insert back. because those same people would then hate thasmin, hate the concept of doctormartha, hate anyone outside of that paring because doctorrose canon. doctorrose aint canon because the alien left her behind FOUR TO THREE times FOUR TO THREE TIMES. THEY MADE US CRY ABOUT HIM LEAVING HER BEHIND FOUR TO THREE TIMES.

bad wolf/parting of ways like sir you still left and your plan was to leave her anyway because thats your damn emergency protocol: make sure to leave rose behind, GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE like he was just flirting AND GETTIN DRUNK LIKE HE LEFT HER BWHIND AND WAS FULL READY TO JUST SET SHOP IN PARIS WITH NO TARDIS JUST LIKE HIS THIRD AND 8TH SELF HE WAS GONNA LEAVE HER BEHIND. FULL STOP, doomsday because lets be real the doctor has broken through the rift for less than that more than once in his past - he chose not to do it again because she said 'so?' after hearing what was gonna happen. his choice, AND THEN JOURNEYS END HE CHOSE TO SAY DOES IT NEED SAYING.

like thats not a win, that doesnt scream canon. that screams - aw one of the john smiths finally got to be with his dream journal mystery girl and i the alien get to keep traveling and never confess my love and marry anyone and everyone else but that specific yt girl that everyone and their great great grandma selfinsert to make them feel better enough to ignore that the very ship they heralded legitmately robbed a whole year of earthwide torment had 10 not played that hot and cold flirting bullshit to martha A WEEK? after losing rose wheee.

yall tend to fly extremely fast to hate river the second lets kill hitler dropped because as soon as that dropped, yall really got louder in hating river more the second after the reveal that amy and rory's black friend was river song/their kid. like now its died down but whew. yall didnt like that and at the point where all of yall were at the cusp of warming up to liking her because it beats literally anyone else from returning to reprise a former role.

like the writing was messy but yall attitudes shifted to rivaling the oil in the ocean as soon as yall learned her prev face was black.

i dont like the animosity you have towards rose. girl rose tyler is so bland the whole fandom took one glance at hannah baxter: professional sex worker named belle du jour from sdoacg and went: thats our rose tyler now and made the literal rose marion tyler a barbie fashionista collectible to say they were there that day when it dropped. like its not my fault yall got a hivemind when it comes to rose that your go to is [any billie piper character > rose tyler] × the doctor.

sorry. im sorry that yall got lulled into systematic microaggresive racism that made the best of yall the worst simply because the ppl that acting as ur favs are cutie patooties. but im not sorry for noticing in silence as a poc 👽 over the years and writing this out

anyway if billie is coming back on dw on screen, let her come back as the rani. i miss the rani and by what ive seen in i hate suzie, rare beasts, beast, eternal beauty, city of tiny lights, collateral, playhouse presents: foxtrot, true love: holly, penny dreadful, sdoacg, catherine called birdy - billie has the fucking range to be literally not rose tyler again. let rose and tentoo and mia chill in their house that i swear i swear i promise its their tardis i deadass think thats their tardis given what we've seen in journey to centre of the tardis and literally the master's tardis in spyfall that was also a fucking house which just shows how vast and possible it would be for that to be the case. let the house we saw them in flashbacks in the empire of the wolf comic be their tardis please please please please please.

[andromedia5]

why are there no Gilmore Girls aus abt Lian and Roy?

like the set up is the same right

single parent wants to send their kid to a better school 

enter stage left ollie who initiates Friday night dinners 

idk who dean is its unimportant bc a very big part of this au is that roy-elai is not going to be as spoiled and bratty and overall kinda insufferable as Lorelai is like all the fucking time

“just because you and Rory broke up doesn't mean we did-” gunshot

phonetically chesire and christopher sound so similar I’m increasingly annoyed that no ones thought of this before me

she's not a deadbeat like chris is tho just a serial killer deeply flawed

Donna is Luke, Donna is Luke, Donna is Luke

obsessive need to take care of everyone? love language is acts of service? check and check

im getting rid of the flannels and the baseball cap and giving them to Roy so she can have those cute y2k fits

and then obvs switch around the ages cause hes older than she is 

“just looking for something to shut you up” ugh so true roydonna nation

AND ON THE LIAN/RORY FRONT CAUSE THATS WHAT WE ALL CARE ABT

I actually dk who to make who bc dc kills everyone her age and her before they loose their baby teeth

actually thats a lie

Damian is Paris

thats it, good night nyc, I win the internet 

OKAY SO MAYBE PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE UP BUT SHE DESERVES GOOD BOYFRIENDS

or if not good then cute ones 

Ik Dinah would have to be Emily or Richard to be included in this but tbh she's just Dinah

brave bow is mia

but like also raised roy?? idk

bird is sookie??

she said extremely tentatively 

WHAT IF HELENA WAS MAX?

Helenas too bitchy actually

but still

Bruce is Taylor

im still not done

okay so yes lian is a few years older than jai and irey but for all intents and purposes let them be close enough in age they could be friends

Irey is Lane

and like I do get making the only Korean (that I can think of) dc character Lane is obnoxious however might I put forth

(ntt) Wally as Mrs.Kim

LIKE CMON

uber conservative and Irey hides all her short skirts and makeup at the Harper house

the main themes and reoccurring conflicts are the same

like the whole “dad and I don’t have secrets” thing lian said in that ga annual I think it was 

yeah theres no way that wouldn’t become an issue for them like it does Rory and Lorelai

parent who went through it and has to do it alone plus kid who just has normal 16 year old secrets but ends up feeling shitty about it and too guilty to ask for advice later on
