#there's truly something deliciously anxsty about the combination

[mikodrawnnarratives]

Imagine after Molly leaves and time has passed for Lorelai to go through the stages of their about that fact, when she really and truly faces the consequences of her and her father's actions there's something about the image of Lorelai just not KNOWING how to do anything that would fix the mess around her.

The chores that Molly knew how to do that she doesn't in comparison. The volume of everything that has piled up in Molly's absence. And I think Lorelai would feel resentment to Molly for a time, for leaving them, she's not gonna realize the full extent of everything immediately. It would only be a matter of time, I THINK, where she'd start thinking "shit Molly had to deal with this much..." It would take a while longer to actually say that out loud ofc

Then when she HAS to get up and DO things, there's something just AGONIZING to imagine for me to imagine 17, nearly an Adult Lorelai, crying from being overwhelmed and having to look up YouTube videos on how to do these chores

The stuff where you look up "Mom how do I..." "Dad how do I..." That's the brutal kicker I'm thinking about
