#rory x lane x jess x Paris

[anxiouspotatorants]

I cannot believe that Lane and Paris would live with the information that Jess worked at a Wallmart and not run over to his place of work at least once a week to terrorize him

✫ 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬 . . . y/n cromwell was nothing if not a sophisticated, pampered, and ambitious socialite. she had lived in manhattan for about five years with her workaholic mother since her divorce with from her father. in the five years she had lived in the upper-east side, she had conquered the elites and made them her minions. she was living her best life until she heard the worst news she could ever fathom...

tristan dugray was nothing like y/n, in any sense other than maybe the fact they were both rich, spoiled and rather confident - okay, maybe they had more in common than what meets the eye. they hadn't seen each other since she had moved away with her mother five years ago and they were happy that way.

until of course, her mother decided it would be best for y/n to spend the next few months with her father back in connecticut after y/n got in trouble with her friend group. what y/n didn't know until she eventually got to connecticut was that her father was engaged to none other than tristan dugray's mother. how could her year get any worse?

✫ ��𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 ;; i am rewatching gilmore girls and of course, i've been inspired to write a fanfic because there are not enough tristan fanfics on tumblr. i hope y'all enjoy, this is very self-indulgent lmao. i love tristan sm and i think a rom-com esk fanfic would bring me (and everyone) so much joy. thank you so much for reading! let me know if i should make a taglist for this series.

give me a fic where jess stays in stars hollow after the car accident and rory breaks up with dean because he’s way too aggressive and tries to kill jess and she keeps tutoring jess and then she asks him to take her to sookie’s wedding and they kiss and everything is fixed and jess graduates and they move to new haven together because jess has to get out of that cracked town and works at a bookstore and then instead of rory and paris going on spring break, they do a kerouac-y road trip with lane and dave and jess gets to write his novel and fights to get it published and by season 6/7 he’s published and going on a book tour while rory works on the obama campaign and once dave graduates, the band gets back together and puts out their debut album together and luke and lorelai get married and everything works out <3

[jessmmariano]

Everyone always talks about the failed Jess in California spin-off but you know what spin-off I want to see? The adventures of Truncheon. I want to see Jess work at a publishing press being happy as he writes, gets to talk about and be surrounded by books, have friends, and not get his heart broken!!

Things I wish we saw more in Gilmore Girls:

1. Paris, Jess, and Rory interacting

2. More of Jess and Rory’s relationship. There was two seasons of build up just for us to get table scraps of them together when they made it official. The other two main bfs got plenty of screen time with her in comparison, especially Dean

3. Lorelai and Emily bonding alone

4. Paris, Rory, and Lane interacting

5. More Tristan in general but I understand it’s because of the actor leaving, but a girl can dream

6. More Lorelai and Richard scenes. I always felt like she was seen with Emily more

7. More older and mature Jess scenes

8. I wanted a better goodbye to Madeline and Louise. They were regular side characters for three seasons, and I hate that they basically vanished. I’m curious what they’re up to besides that spring break episode.

9. More date scenes between Luke and Lorelai

10. Rory taking genuine accountability for her many horrid actions

11. People not viewing Rory as some saint and enabling her behavior when she’s literally one of the most flawed and selfish characters in the show

12. Honestly? I think Lindsay was too nice about the cheating scandal. I wish she actually got a chance to either tell Rory off or slap her. I would’ve rooted for her

13. Lorelai and Luke communicating efficiently. Both were taught not to communicate from their parents, but they need to unlearn it since it severely ruined their relationship two separate times

14. Lorelai and Luke deserved a proper wedding. They were the most popular slow burn ship that everyone was rooting for, and we deserve a proper wedding after witnessing 7 seasons of watching them pine for one another. I’m still pissed they wasted the budget on that stupid play in the revival.

Y'all please, please, please hear me out

Rory with Jess or Logan (or really any other guy, but JESS AND LOGAN ESPECIALLY) is horrendous—LIKE, WHAT ARE Y'ALL WATCHING???

Jess is genuinely a jerk all the time and the fact that he just stole stuff just to do it really made me sick af. And I guess I get the whole "I hate everyone but you" dynamic, but there is but so much someone can tolerate from that kind of thing. Also, all Jess and Rory did in their relationship was make out and argue— and they never went out on a date, but suddenly Jess admits that he loves her and THEN HE LEAVES?! And didn't he almost assault Rory at a party?! They were making out on the bed and Rory tells him to stop at some point, but he keeps going for a bit????

And Logan spoke to Rory like he didn't necessarily respect her— whenever she said she didn't want to do something, he'd convince her by being super pushy and annoying. Then when they were trying to establish their relationship, Logan couldn't make up his mind on whether or not they were casual. At first he was like "Are you sure you want this to be casual?" and Rory established that she was sure, then when they're casual, Logan's like "I want you to be with me >:(" and then when Rory's like "I can't do this casual thing" and he's suddenly like "Are you sure???" even though he was just crying about Rory being with someone else! AND THEN at some point, he breaks up with her without even telling her until his sister called and brought it up and Rory tries to move on from him only for him to beg for her to get back with him— by showing up at her apartment, excessively sending flowers and all kinds of gifts, and even showing up at Lorelai's INN (and ngl, Lorelai really ate him up when he was like "I'm just trying to show her that I love her" and she was like "Okay, but maybe she's trying to show you she's no longer interested" 😭)— even though HE'S THE ONE who broke up with her AND THEN SLEPT WITH ALL OF HIS SISTER'S FRIENDS WITHIN SUCH A SHORT SPAN OF TIME

AND I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT TRISTAN OMG— I HATE HIM AND RORY TOGETHER AS WELL 😭 NOT ROMANTIC AT ALLLLL! WHY DO PEOPLE GENUINELY SHIP THEM?!

It's like they constantly try to do some enemies-to-lovers thing, but they fail EVERY SINGLE TIME by having the guy constantly harass Rory and then she suddenly falls for them??? And it's weird because it's like Rory has the best enemies-to-lovers chemistry with Paris since they've known each other for a while, so you can see developments between them— for example; you can clearly see that Paris and Rory hated each other at first, with Paris constantly being a jerk to Rory for no reason (ya'know, being a bully), but later on, you can see that Rory is one of the only people Paris will not only genuinely smile at, but she'd willingly listen to her. And then you can clearly see that Paris is trying to be a better person because of Rory (even if Paris is still a bit extreme)— which is something Jess and Tristan NEVER did

Y'all opinions about these characters make me sad, and I don't mean upset— I mean: I'll literally start crying, because so many people fawn over these boys when they're not even that good

literati b99 au where jess is jake, rory is amy, paris is gina, dave as terry, and lane as rosa. and who’s captain holt you may ask? max medina.

[anxiouspotatorants]

“We’ve lost Paris,” Lane declared once they reached Jess. “Are you sure about that?” The girls frowned. They turned their heads, and that’s when Rory saw a conspicuously preppy blonde tackling metalheads in the middle of a moshpit.

Teach Me Tonight- A Literati AU

Rory Gilmore is FINE! She's no longer the ambitious journalist that she set out to be, and is now a stable English teacher at her alma mater. The only thing missing in her life is romantic stability. and that is when Jess Mariano, the new Creative Writing teacher at Chilton comes in. Rory is secretly thrilled to meet one of her favourite authors, but can't seem to quench this new, unimaginable thirst every time she's around him. What happens when circumstances, such as merging a class with him every month or being partnered with him to plan the Winter Ball, cause her to experience more than what she should?

Jess Mariano is HAPPY! Sure, he gets to be closer to his little sister and move away from his fast-paced life as a bestselling author, whose book series under a new pen name, is gaining more traction than he ever gained in his entire career. He's more than happy to encounter Rory Gilmore as his new colleague. But will the pressure of who he is and why he's there, end all possibilities of pursuing a relationship with her, before it even begins?

An AU where Jess and Rory are high school teachers who experience Slow Burn because... why not?

L.M. Montgomery works & Gilmore Girls parallels

Once I made an Anne of Green Gables related post (I don't remember which one it was) and it got reblogged by someone with a Gilmore Girls url. It was then that it hit me, AOGG, or generally L.M. Montgomery (will shorten it to LMM from now on) works would be enjoyed by people who also like Gilmore Girls. Sure, one is contemporary, the other historical, but there are some parallels. When I started thinking about it, I couldn't stop, so here I give you my list of LMM/GG parallels (note when I say LMM I mostly mean Anne, as it's the series I know the details of best):

Stars Hollow is LMM-typical place name and that you may tie to

tight-knit community settings

ambitious young heroines

the Rory/Paris rivalry is a lot like the Anne/Gilbert rivalry

Rory and Lane are bosom buddies just like Anne and Diana

slow burn romance: Anne x Gilbert and Lorelai x Luke

typical way of talking: GG has that fast dialogue, Anne talks a lot

accidents: Rory got into a car accident with Jess, Anne almost drowned in the lake (though in Anne's case her love interest was the one to save her, while Rory's love interest kinda got her into that)

men work around the house for women they're infatuated with: Luke fixes things for Lorelai. Now, I'm not sure if Gilbert does any such work for Anne, but in Anne of Avonlea, when Anne is dreaming up her house of dreams for the first time (when she still imagines her beloved to be a tall dark emo king), Gilbert somehow manages to get into her fantasy, helping her arrange pictures and lay out gardens. In Avonlea people likely helped each other with jobs/tasks, so it might not mean anything, still it's interesting that Anne saw him doing that, it was more subconscious than anything

difficult parents/grandparents/caregivers: oh boy. I insist that many of the caregivers in LMM books are straight up abusive (Emily's aunts Elizabeth and Ruth, but also in the case of some of the minor or side characters, such as Little Elizabeth in Anne of Windy Poplars, where it's made more clear), but okay, if you don't want to go that far, at least you have to admit that often they were very difficult. So are Emily and Richard Gilmore. And Lane's mum is mega strict. With the Gilmores too, they have this pride and if LMM knew anything, it was family clans and traditions.

generally cosy, comfort fiction (though I maintain that LMM had some dark themes in her stories)

GG opening theme shows autumn trees when the show's logo appears. One of the best known quotes from AOGG is "I'm so glad I live in the world where there are Octobers."

Jess is the best boyfriend for Rory because he just fit in so well in her life.

First off, the two have so much in common. From books and music to both having absent fathers, the two fit so well. Yet (as Rory said) they’re not too similar that it’s boring—Rory gets Jess to branch out a bit more whereas he encourages her to pursue her dreams.

Secondly, the Stars Hollow connection. Dean was too involved in Stars Hollow that he would keep her back, and Logan was so disconnected that he would pull her away. Jess is the perfect balance—someone connected to Stars Hollow through family (mainly Luke) yet isn’t afraid to go other places and pursue other options.

Third, he got along with Rory’s friends. Him and Paris would’ve definitely hit it off if they had more screen time, considering the conversation they had together about authors. Him and Lane weren’t super close, but they had the music connection that definitely could’ve began a friendship. They also have a connection through Luke. Also he and Lorelai have such similar personalities the two could definitely get along if they weren’t both so stubborn.

Anyways Jess fits so well in Rory’s life and Rory in his and that is why they’re the superior couple. Definition of right person wrong time.

YES! Agh! The missed opportunity for what would definitely have been one of the best dynamics of the show. It definitely would have been endless comedy & entertainment. The show was so infuriating sometimes. Wetting our appetite for it & then taking it away. I always get so hyped up over them & then frustrated every time I rewatch. The god level would be them three then throw in Lane & Dave too. OMG kill me with the awesomeness that it would have been.

The trio we all needed more of
