I Hate it Here is a Jess Mariano song

I am very curious about this one because I was surprised by the amount of people that recently tell me that the lockdown was the best time of their lives while when it was happening people were protesting, bitching and moaning, and therapists' offices were overflowing. Maybe nostalgia really is a mind's trick, huh.

It's the way they made sure we knew that, not ONLY had Jess promised (cheerfully, no less!) to take Rory to the Prom, but that he was FOLLOWING THROUGH! They explicitly stated that he was sent to the office while he was TRYING to buy Prom tickets! And then even after the principal told him he was flunking out, he still kept trying to get them to let him go to the dance anyway so at least he'd get to give Rory this thing she wanted! Guys, he tried SO HARD! Like, the show made it VERY VERY CLEAR that he didn't just say one thing and then "not do it," they made sure to show that he was ACTIVELY TRYING! And KEPT TRYING to take her to Prom even as his own life was falling apart! If they could only let him do that ONE THING for HER, then at least not all would be lost. He was like, "Ok, I'm not graduating. That sucks, but you're missing the most important part here, which is that Rory wanted to go to the Prom." He CARED! SO MUCH! He really wanted to make her happy! 😫😭

I have noticed a trend in fandoms where the bitchy characters are preferred over the nice ones because: "at least they have a personality". Since when is hurling insults at people unprovoked synonymous with a personality? Is being kind, quiet and agreeable not a personality? I am confused.

#i know these characters usually have more depth than just being mean #but what i am saying mean is not the only personality type there is #fandoms #this is about people preferring paris over rory #or blair over serena #the unholy trinity over anyone else in glee #etc

I am so over people acting like something is a plot hole when it is literally explained. Paris didn't get into Harvard because she bombed her interview. Monica inherited the huge New York apartment and Chandler can easily pay for his because he comes from money and has a good job. Learn how to pay attention.

Unpopular opinion but I love when characters have the opposite of a redemption arc and fall from grace. I actually enjoyed watching the episodes of Gilmore Girls after Rory slept with Dean or after she stole a yacht and dropped out of Yale. I enjoyed Jenny Humphrey's reputation era when she was Queen of Costance, dating Damian and selling drugs much more than in season 1 when she was the squeaky clean kid. And I think season 4 of Shameless when Fiona did drugs, got arrested for endangering Liam and then broke probation and did drugs again, was the best season of Shameless. I enjoy watching these episodes not only for the drama that ensues but also because there is something relatable about a formerly "perfect" character falling from grace and finally acting out.

Has anyone noticed how Rory's spontaneous trip to New York with Jess in season 2 subtly parallels Rory's spontaneous trip to New York with Logan in season 6? To see Jess she went with a bus and found him in a park and they went book and record shopping and ate lunch at a hot dog cart, whereas with Logan they flew by a helicopter (very environmentally friendly btw) and decided to be irresponsible and not even pack but instead buy everything there. It's a small thing but shows how much Rory has changed in a little of three years.

Also her Europe backpacking trip in Lorelai between seasons 3 and 4 parallels her fancy Europe trip with Emily in season 5.

I have noticed a weird double standard in the Gilmore Girls fandom where when someone questions Lorelai and defends Emily everyone jumps down their throat like: "nooo, Emily was abusive, she wanted Lorelai to get married at 16, she was controlling etc, Lorelai was right to cut her off because she was toxic for her" yet people question why Lane didn't want to move in with Mrs Kim and raise her children there?? After Mrs Kim was 100x more strict and controlling than Emily?? And they say that Lane was apparently ungrateful for everything her mom has sacrificed for her because her mother is an immigrant that moved to America just to give Lane a better future and raised her according to her own values, which is apparently great and traditional? Do you not see the double standard here?? Did Emily also not raise Lorelai according to her own values? But what, just because she's a WASP that makes her values wrong and only Mrs Kim's Korean values are the right ones? Didn't Emily also want to give her daughter a better future?

Both mothers raised their daughters in the way they *thought* was the best but of course it didn't turn out to actually *be* the best and it did harm to Lorelai and Lane. Both daughters are allowed to draw boundaries with their mothers in adulthood and to not want their mothers involved in raising their children because they know how badly they messed up with raising them. That doesn't make them either "right" or "ungrateful" it is their decision.

#i hope this makes sense #mrs kim defenders drive me crazy #same as liz danes defenders #and funnily both of these people then turn around and call emily the most abusive mother ever #when emily imo isn't even 1/10th as bad as liz or mrs kim #lane kim defense #anti mrs kim

Thank you guys for this, the reason I posted this was not because of one particular instance that happened recently (although I have dealt with something similar a couple of times in my life) but because I voiced this opinion on Reddit and I was called "selfish" and "entitled" in the comments and told that no one owes anyone anything and that you should do things for other people not because you expect something in return. So I wanted to expand my sample size and now I see that I am not selfish and it is in fact not entitled to want your relationships to be reciprocating.

Eg: a friend always calls to rant about their problems but when you want to rant suddenly they don't have time. Was it selfish of you to expect them to be there for you and hear you out?

Istg I just saw the wildest take ever. Someone on Reddit claimed that Lorelai was this out of control defiant child who just couldn't be helped and it had nothing to do with her upbringing because Christopher had the same upbringing and turned out fine meanwhile Lorelai got pregnant... like do you think Lorelai got pregnant by herself?

Hot take- you don't hate Rory, you want her life

All the anti-Rory posts I see, from the daily "Rory is a spoilt and privileged brat" post on Reddit to longass Buzzfeed articles detailing Rory's immense privilege and wrongdoings is just thinly veiled jealousy for the most part (occasionally they have a point).

"Her mother and grandparents called her special and smart!" I'm sorry your parents never praised you.

"She had so many guys in love with her, it's unrealistic, like what does she have to offer?" She had 5 guys interested in her over the course of 7 years, which is not really that many. And it's not unrealistic,she is a pretty girl!

"Her teachers praised her and she was always 'the good kid' " because she was. She was a 16-year-old that didn't party, preferred the company of books to boys, did homework on weekends and actually*enjoyed* it. She was also not confrontational for the most part so adults could easily get her to do what they wanted. I knew people like that and adults usually liked them and praised them because they were low-maintenance and easy to handle. Again not unrealistic and doesn't mean she's spoilt, she's just being praised for her good behavior.

"She got everything paid for- fancy high school, college, a car, two trips to Europe..." Okay and? Don't pretend that if you were in her shoes and had grandparents who are multimillionaires you would refuse to take a single cent from them. No one chooses what kind of family they're born into and Rory was just lucky enough to be born into a rich one. Don't tell me that you wouldn't change places with her in a heartbeat.
