I’m thinking about Kevin and the way he interacts with Gwen post transformation. He’s always been very proud of his looks and his car but not much else about himself. His other good qualities are invisible to him. Gwen points out his other virtues TO him but it’s almost in one ear and out the other.

 And even though he’s been head over heels for Gwen since the very beginning, once he transforms into something he perceives as ugly, he gives her a locket with a picture of him before he transformed as “something to remember him by” as if he can’t possibly fathom her wanting to be with him this way. As if he almost viewed his looks as his one redeeming quality. But Gwen looks at him and sees all the stuff that he can’t.

I'll probably forget everything about Chihayafuru soon, but not Wataya Arata.

You know, there’s a few things I’ve always wanted to say to you, but out of respect for my friend Rory here, I’ve refrained. However, the circumstances seem to have changed.

if you noticed that a lot of indonesian artists suddenly opened their commissions, that's because of the government announcing paypal has a five day window before it's banned in the country

if you commission an artist right now, you will likely be expected to pay upfront and the commission may take a little while longer. this isn't because you're being scammed, but because the artist has taken a bulk of commissions to try and secure their livelihood until they can figure out another payment processor or revenue stream that foreign clients can use

in short, absolutely commission indonesian artists right now, but please be patient with them

Jess + Rory & Lenny + Midge Parallels

[fandomfan64]

Gilmore Girls— “Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out” (2005)

“We always played that Rory and Jess saw each other for what they were. That was the great thing about that relationship. She saw Jess for exactly what he was, and he really got her. So it just seemed like a natural thing [for Jess to pull Rory out of her funk] because you needed somebody to do it. It wasn’t going to be Lorelai, and it just made sense for the relationship that we had set up with them that he would get her.” —Amy Sherman-Palladino

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel— “How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall?” (2022)

“[Lenny] never looked at [Midge] like a female comic. He looked at her like a comic. What was so great about that and what you risked losing by having them hook up was that respect, that even keel partnership. I didn’t want to lose that. He saw her potential. He saw what she was. He was her guardian angel and her muse in a sense. The fact that then that’s the person who turns back on her to say you are blowing it… it was dramatically the perfect storm of events to happen to her. It doesn’t matter that he had sex with her the night before, he’s still going to turn around and say to her, ‘You are fucking blowing this.’ That is what their relationship was based on, and it’s why we love them together because he is that person to her.” —Amy Sherman-Palladino

it’s always “i love you” and never “a few weeks ago you told me lane had a crush on me. well i have a crush on her too and i know you have very strict rules about dating and boys and i just want you to know that i’m a good person. i don’t smoke, i don’t drink, i’ve never gotten a ticket, i’m healthy, i take care of myself, i floss, i never watch more than thirty minutes of television partly because i think it’s a waste of time and partly because there’s nothing on, i respect my parents, i do well in school, i never play video games in case they do someday prove playing them can turn you into a serial killer, i don’t drink coffee, i don’t drink soda because the carbonation freaks me out, i’m happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it, i don’t mind wearing a tie, i enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and i really really wanna take your daughter to her prom. mrs kim? please don’t make me repeat that list again.”

absolutely adore when people call jess selfish and horrible when he was literally just a kid. he was a child who went his whole life without any financial stability and as a result became a workaholic so that he knew he always had a monetary safety net. he was a child who was abandoned by his father and neglected by his mother, and who was clearly abused in several ways (by liz, by her boyfriends, by his stepfathers). he was a child who was never taught to communicate his feelings. he was a child who was told by his mother and by other authority figures that he was worthless, that he would never amount to anything, that he shouldn’t even try because he’d just end up failing. and despite all of that he tried anyway—for rory, because he loved her. and eventually for himself, because he realized he had worth.

Paris and Jess was a godly combination. Add in Lane, Rory, and Dave? Perfect friend group. We were robbed.
