i love that binx and andhera’s declarations of love are never a clear cut “i love you”. it was andhera being the actual winner in the hedge maze, but giving the crystal heart to binx, it was andhera pledging themself to binx’s cause, it was binx offering to remove the shard from his neck, it was the two of them turning to each other and confiding in each other when things got rough, it was “you make an excellent frog”, it was andhera asking binx to show off their craftsmanship and make him a suit, it was binx finding solace in andhera’s presence at the masquerade, it was them sharing the apple imbued with the memories of the court of craft, it was andhera admitting that binx has made him happier than he’s ever been, it was the both of them extending the homes and hearts to each other, it was “no one will ever hurt you” and its echo, it was “he’s not yours to control anymore”, it was binx pointing a crossbow at suntar’s back and vowing that she would use it should andhera give her the go ahead, it was “you are welcome in my home, always.” it was “for the rest of our existence, any time you are scared I will reassure you”, it was “we have so much to experience together.”
One thing I really love about the earlier seasons of Gilmore Girls is how unpolished and real everyone was allowed to look, even including the main characters. The clothes were ordinary and seemed to be chosen for personality instead of "hotness," Lorelai made weird makeup choices sometimes and Rory had days when her hair was a little frizzy and flyaway... The dress Lorelai "made" Rory for the dance REALLY looked like a homemade dress from cheap polyester satin and a wrinkle in the collar that never seems to lie completely flat... They felt like REAL people!
But the later seasons just don't feel the same. I'm happy for the show and their budget that they got clothing sponsorships, and the clothes are pretty to look at, but Lorelai and Rory look perpetually glossy and glamorous in a way that seems out-of-step with their personalities, income level, and situations (just like every other show!) and I MISS IT! I miss the messiness! College Rory should get to lounge around in her pajamas more, or just... SOMETHING! It just doesn't feel the same!
yall, giving me Coop's outfit in Fallout 76 was a bad idea cause I CANT STOP THE FIC IDEAS — LIKE HEAR ME OUT, IMAGINE WEARING HIS DUSTER???? AND HIM FUCKING YOU WHILE YOU WEAR IT???????
LIKE HNNGGGG I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. this is my favourite outfit and for reasons i will never take it off. EVER.
A tag game! I was tagged by @inflammatory thank you so much this was very fun! (I know I say this at the end of the post but I'm very sorry if I tagged you against your will, I get so scared)
Last song: It was, when I first saw this, Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely by Hüsker Dü, but at time of writing it’s Christian Brothers by Heatmiser/Elliott Smith
Favourite colour: I don’t know and this has plagued me for a long time. I’m going to say either the colour of a Polar Blue PRS Silver Sky, or a navy blue that’s so dark it’s almost black, like the sort of colour I’d use to paint a night sky in Year 7.
Currently watching: I haven’t been watching a lot for the past week or so but on a slightly wider timeframe, Rushmore and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy in a heartbeat. Dreaming of wasabi peanuts as we speak
Relationship status: Never once before in my life but I have what, three different crushes at the moment? Too busy on the guitar grind to think much about them though
Current obsession: The Sandman comic. Making playlists (my March playlist is almost 8hrs long and I am so pleased with every single song on it). Benevolent Wikipedia editing. Neglecting schoolwork. Iced matcha. And of course the insatiable investigations of music history. Also obsessed with playing This Charming Man on guitar
No pressure tags, I always get scared tagging so I hope you don't mind: @danexist @finch-kid @martitheevans @beachghoulz @strangebrew and all the other mutuals I didn't mention for being deeply scared, and anyone else who wants to join !!
jess and rory could’ve been endgame if rory would’ve listened to jess when he told her to take someone that looks like him to that friday night dinner because i can see rory goes to dave like “i need a favor” and just imagine dave sits in jess’s clothes in the gilmore household like i can’t believe i’m doing it and like imagine emily call to lorelai in the following morning like “jess is such a wonderful nice man” AKDDJTDJYFU
I know I post a ton about Rory and finances and stuff, and I apologize. I am still drowning financially. I work and go to school full time and literally don’t have the time to get a 3rd job. I have 3 digital patterns available on my Etsy if anyone wants to buy those, you can buy them from any country. I’m just at a loss for how to pay her bill.
my least favorite trope is a character being a high achiever as a teenager, knowing exactly what they want to be and working their ass off, only to become a clueless adult who doesn’t really know what they’re doing because all they did was work for something that didn’t go as planned.
