If there’s one thing this show has taught me, is that big city folk and small town folk don’t work in a romantic relationship

[jesterjabbering]

they should start a band

[sprnklersplashes]

to quote lovely commenter on ao3, generational trauma go brrr

[evilphrog]

Ever just sit alone and stare longingly at your friend talking to a pretty girl while you lament all the time you missed out on together? In a totally platonic, just friends way?

MY GILMORE JOURNEY UPDATES:

End of season double feature!!

S4 E21: "Last Week Fights, This Week Tights"

I lowkey sympathize with Jess y'all. He is a product of his environment and needs time to learn to be different and better than the people he comes from.

Shoutout to Luke tho🫶🏾

S4 E22: "Raincoats and Recipes"

UM WTF

1. Jason and Luke and Lorelai in a love triangle

2. The Gilmore grandparents are crashing out maritally

3. Beautiful dragonfly inn test run made me emotional cause of all the support from their community

4. not my girl rory just lost her virginity with her very MARRIED ex... oh girl

[hopefultrashmilkshake]

Sorry, I've been gone for so long, I was busy rearanging my entire house to paint the walls.

Anyway

[ice-truck-killer]

I'm sorry but Lorelai and Luke aren't goals. They're toxic to each other. The true goals and Lorelai and Jason and I'll die on this hill!

[dontbedopey]

in some other universe ted lasso and lorelai gilmore are best friends

If you're still doing top fives---top five unpopular Gilmore Girls opinions! And top five Riverdale opinions :)

Sure! Why not :)

Gilmore Girls:

The revival really isn’t that bad, it’s just not what everyone wanted. It’s not even necessarily what I want but I enjoy it for what it is.

Rory really isn’t that bad, she’s just never been as good as anyone in the show thinks she is - because no one is that good. I don’t mind that her life fell apart and she had to try again, it’s the most relatable shit in the world. Characters having to rebuild their lives is very interesting to me, though.

Logan and Rory are like Luke and Lorelai: Rory is the hermit like Luke and Logan is the sunshine-y extrovert who gets her out of her shell like Lorelai does with Luke. Logan has always had more in common with Lorelai than he does with Christopher. (Also plays into my thoughts about how Rory and Lorelai are also two very fundamentally different characters and it's unfair to put Rory into the Lorelai mould.)

Logan isn’t the Tristan replacement, Jess was. He came in the show just as CMM was leaving and stepped into the role of Forrester’s antagonist/rival. Tristan and Logan are superficially alike but Jess and Tristan fulfilled the same role in Rory’s life, the unsafe option in comparison to Forrester. Tristan and Rory wouldn’t have been anything like Logan and Rory. I like Jess a lot more than I like Tristan so in a way i’m glad it worked out the way it did with CMM leaving. Also learning that Jess’ character was only created as a way to prevent Luke and Lorelai from getting together definitely colors my perception of his character arc.

Lorelai is right and Emily is right and that’s kind of the point. Lorelai did have a miserable lonely childhood with people who didn’t understand her. Emily did give everything she had to a daughter who rejected her. The point has always been that Lorelai did not belong in her parents’ world and they don’t understand that so they can only be hurt by her rejection.

Riverdale:

disclaimer: i saw like…ten episodes of this show.

1. The switch up on Alice Cooper’s character is terrible and I hate that people love her when she was clearly controlling and cruel to her daughters, they should not have made her a lovable character.

2. It would’ve been more interesting if Cheryl killed Jason. On purpose. I don’t want to elaborate too much because I have a fic in the works along these lines but this is the entire reason I started the show in the first place: I thought Cheryl was the one who murdered Jason and I was so into that.

3. Jughead should’ve been asexual/aromantic like his comic book counterpart. Not telling the cole sprouse fans not to thirst, y’all do y’all my babies tbh, just saying it would’ve been great center stage representation that the ace/aro community deserves and rarely gets. (Which is a large part of my disinterest in bughead.)

4. Betty and Cheryl have a more interesting dynamic than Veronica and Betty.

5. idek if this is unpopular or not but like this show basically ripped off every show ever so it’s really not that unique. it’s like Glee, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, and Twin Peaks had a baby and then no one ever told that baby "No" or gave it any structure so it grew up to be this mess who can’t commit to any storyline and just "yes and"-ed itself into the ground.

[chenfordswopez]

Wait...you agree with nearly all of my insanely unpopular Gilmore Girls opinions for which I already lost a follower?! You literally just made my entire week!

Yes I do! Most of them, to me, aren’t insane at all. Unpopular, yes. But not insane. I do like Hep Alien tho :)

[areyouwho-ithinkyouare]

honestly i really do get the appeal of having separate bedrooms even when in a serious relationship/marriage/partnership. i love having my own space to retreat to. a nest i can tuck myself away into. i love being able to decorate my room exactly how i want it and not having to compromise to someone else’s taste - it’s a space specifically designed to be as relaxing as possible FOR ME. and i don’t think that i’d lose that just bcus i fall in love with someone. and i don’t want THEM to compromise on that shit either, i want them to have their perfect personal sanctuary as well. and it’s not like we can’t set foot in each other’s rooms or spend nights in each other’s beds it’s just - it’s the knowledge that you have that nest. that when you need that retreat, it’s there. there’s so much weird stigma and judgement about what separate rooms must say about the state of your relationship but like. no i get it i absolutely get it.
