Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls 2/16, There's The Rub, The Part Where Dean Shows Up And Ruins Everything, Part 5

Read parts 1-4 and all other episodes in my pinned post. This one may not come across as terribly funny; I felt the urge to continue with this episode but I also felt a bit off my humor game, probably because it's 8,000 fucking degrees outside. Maybe that's what's draining my funny juices. But it does contain a bonus surprise (something I've never done before), so read on. Where we last left off, we were moments away from armageddon as Dean was heading over to the Gilmore house, with his fucking pint of ice cream in a bag, ignoring Rory's wishes to be left alone because consent has never been his forte, hell bent on destroying this evening of blissful harmony being shared between Jess, Rory, and Paris. Rory has just checked the Butthead News and Weather report and learned that a Level 5 DeanStorm is bearing down on the Gilly Girls house. She immediately shifts into panic mode as she tries to evacuate everyone from the house.

I swear he is too smart for his own good. #AdmireTheBaby #ISAIDADMIREHIM

Please don't go, my love.

God, I'm ashamed to admit how long it took me to notice this was actualy a clever ploy to get Rory alone in her room. Clever baby.

I thought Jess was saying he wants to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with Rory, then I realized he actually meant Dean and that is way funnier. I love the absurd image of those two idiots working together to achieve mature conflict resolution. Totally bonkers concept. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Dean and Jess would just fucking make out with each other there would be peace in Stars Hollow. Rory would be spared, Lindsey would be spared, Lorelai would watch her dreams of marrying Dean Forrester wither on the vine, Shane would still be alive and not murdered by Jess after the dance marathon...

Milos "tiny little ice cream package" line delivery in the following scene is so fucking adorable that I went ahead and made it into a video clip. I should start doing this more often tbh.

I don't know how Jess is always so fearless around Dean, if I were Jess I'd be pissing my fucking pants. Dean fucking terrifies me.

Shit. Is the cold fear that this fictional character instills in me on a regular basis a testament to Jared Padalecki's acting or what? I mean, I hope it's just acting. It's a little too convincing.

He is one scary motherfucker.

Poor Paris. Dean is so horrible to Rory in the next scene, like he is just getting more and more abusive towards Rory as time goes on. So you know what, I'm not even going to write about it. Fuck Dean Forrester. Paris jumps to Rory's defense and makes up an excuse to calm Dean down from his jealous rage and it works. I wish I just could give the both of them (Paris and Rory) a great big hug. Paris is a hero and her love for Rory knows no bounds.

You are not. Fuck you!

Rory, honey. No...just no. 😭

Hey! I have a request;

JJ’s teenage daughter staying out all night the night of her prom and doesn’t come home until 5/6 in the morning and JJ finds out she was out all night with a guy she’s been seeing. Lots of angst/hurt and then comfort, pleaaase <3

Where the Hell Have You Been?

pairing: jennifer jareau x daughter reader

category: angst, hurt/comfort

warnings: none

word count: 836

age: 16

summary: you don't come home until the next morning after prom and your mom is worried sick

a/n: it's giving rory and dean from gilmore girls

"Shit shit shit shit shit!" I nearly ripped my hair out of my head when I looked at the time. My kind of boyfriend was asleep beside me in his car and it was 5 in the morning. I was supposed to be home by 1. I had 13 missed calls from my mom and about 90 texts. This wasn't going to end well. "Jace...Jace wake up." I practically slapped him in the face.

"What...huh?" He rubbed his eyes groggily.

"I need you to drive me home right now."

"Oh shit." He saw the time and his eyes widened. "Ok yeah."

"Oh fuck. My mom's going to be so mad."

"Don't worry. I'll explain everything to her-"

"You will not say anything. She cannot see you she will kill you and I would really rather you not die."

"Ok...yeah I like that idea."

He dropped me off at my house and then sped off. I picked my dress up so it didn't get wet and then knocked on the front door. It was immediately answered on the second knock. "Where the hell have you been?" My mom's voice was stern and her eyes were icy. She was really fucking mad.

"I-I'm so sorry, I fell asleep i-in his car a-and I just woke up ten minutes ago, I'm so sorry mom!" I exclaimed. She dragged me into the house by my wrist and slammed the door behind me.

"I was worried sick about you, you know that? I thought you were kidnapped or that you were dead or maybe he raped you. I didn't sleep!"

"I'm sorry!" I sobbed. "I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to!" I sat down on the couch and held my head in my hands.

"No phone for a month. You are not going out with that boy ever again-"

"Mom no-"

"Yes. I didn't know where you were for four hours. It was the middle of the night, you were not answering your phone, nobody knew where you were." I covered my ears as she raised her voice.

"Mom stop." My voice was barely a whisper so she couldn't hear me. She kept scolding me, telling me how stupid it was and how worried she was. "Mom stop!" I exclaimed, my hands shaking a bit. She immediately shut her mouth and looked down at me. "I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it and I didn't mean to scare you and I'm so sorry, it'll never happen again just please stop yelling."

"Oh honey." Her voice softened immensely as she knelt down in front of me. "Honey, I'm sorry." She gently grabbed my face, caressing my cheeks while lifting my head so I was looking up at her. "I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to yell."

"It was an accident." I whispered. "I really didn't mean to." She leaned forward so our foreheads were touching before tilting her head up to kiss my forehead. "I'm so sorry-"

"Stop apologizing baby." She kissed my forehead again. "It's ok. I'm not mad."

"Then why were you yelling?"

"I was worried sick and I was taking that out on you, I'm so sorry." She stopped holding my face and instead rubbed my thighs. "I'm your mom, it's my job to worry, ok? I'm so sorry for yelling at you like that." I nodded. "Now are you ok? Did anything happen?" I shook my head.

"Nothing happened."

"Good. Oh God I'm so glad to hear that." She sighed in relief and wiped away my tears before wiping away her own. "I love you so much sweetheart, I just really want you to be safe and I was so scared that you weren't safe, you know? With all I see at my job, when something bad happens I automatically think it's something really bad."

"Yeah I get it." I sniffled.

"I'm so sorry for yelling." She whispered. "I don't know what got into me, I'm really sorry." I nodded.

"It's ok."

"It's not ok-"

"Mom can we please not do this right now? I'm really tired and I just want to sleep." She nodded and helped me stand up. "You can stay with me though. I missed you. I wanted to tell you all about last night but now I'm just...super fucking tired."

She held my hand while walking upstairs to my room. I plopped down on my bed without taking my dress off. "Wanna take it off? It's gonna get wrinkled." She pointed out. I just nodded and stood up so she could unzip me. I undressed in front of her, not really caring since she was my mom and she was already in my bed, facing the wall.

"I really am sorry." I said again. "It won't happen again. I promise." She draped her arm over my waist and pulled me close to her.

"I know honey. You don't have to keep apologizing, ok? I understand." She kissed the back of my head. "I love you."

"I love you too."

dean has a plethora of problems, but ppl who think that rory is completely innocent in their relationship annoy me so much. rory was pretty much constantly flirting with jess, not to mention she full on KISSED HIM. even before jess, there was tristan. like dean was so insecure, he only rlly started to get obsessed when he started to realize that jess and rory liked each other. not to mention, almost every problem that ppl have with him (the "i don't care abt harvard!", and when he yells) he APOLOGIZES for. jess is stubborn and rude, disrespectful, entitled, left without saying anything only to come back and say "i love you", and got mad at rory for not wanting to have sex. please don't get me wrong, neither dean or jess were good for rory, and dean can be a real fucking asshole, ESPECIALLY with lindsay. but most of the things i see ppl bitch abt dean, they miss very key points in what happens

[lovelylogans]

what are your favorite episodes of gilmore girls?

ooOOOOOOH GREAT QUESTION i’ll break it down season by season:

season one

pilot. i mean, obviously. it sets them all up so well, character-wise; plus, you can tell some episodes in season one that were filmed shortly after the pilot vs a while later, just bc of emily’s differing hair lengths

the lorelai’s first day at chilton: introduces such great characters (paris, madeline, louise) and also is such a great way to continue the transition into learning about this world

rory’s birthday parties: god. just. the stark difference between emily and richard’s world vs stars hollow...... the found family of practically all of stars hollow showing up to rory’s home party...... “lorelai’s right. i don’t know my daughter at all.”...... God

forgiveness and stuff: like, gOD. a masterclass of acting especially from kelly bishop and lauren graham; it hits so differently after edward hermann’s actual passing. luke and lorelai’s relationship displayed on what he’d do for her. lord!

paris is burning: paris................ the Beginning of turning from enemies to friends...... plus, like, you get to see some of lorelai’s commitment issues, which plays out throughout the entire series (sometimes To My Great Aggravation)

concert interruptus: the bangles 🥺paris and rory 🥺

christopher returns: i mean. you see the dynamic between rory and christopher, lorelai and christopher, and emily, richard, and christopher, which just paints such a clearer picture of what lorelai’s life might have been like back then. PLUS, emily being soft toward rory; it’s one of my fave relationship moments for them, and i kind of regret taking that line from her and giving it to christopher in wyliwf.

star crossed lovers and other strangers: the same way we get to see emily and rory, we get to see richard and lorelai; also, you can see how lorelai’s commitment issues might have inadvertently affected rory in this. plus i love love LOVE the backstory of the stars hollow lovers festival, i wish they’d repeated it in later seasons!

emily in wonderland: i really wish you’d gotten to see the effect of learning about lorelai and rory living in the shed play out more than a one-episode arc, i really wish we did, but like. emily bishop, once again, acting her damn heart out. phenomenal.

season two

the road trip to harvard: you get to see the beginnings of how rory leaving for college might affect lorelai, plus you get to see rory in her ivy league habitat. luke getting so suddenly, “inexplicably” cheerful when he hears that lorelai’s not marrying max. and at the very ending emily being sympathetic to max. bless it.

nick & nora/sid & nancy: first jess ep. “dodger.” what else is there to say. points off lorelai tho for immediately losing it at jess when he snarks at her, when, like, that is your move, lorelai, you should recognize that?

presenting lorelai gilmore: rory stepping more and more into her grandparents’ world in a way lorelai never wanted to; though i don’t ship christopher and lorelai, their dance scene is adorable. plus, emily and richard fighting a bit and the beginnings of richards (seasons long!) arc about his journey with his work.

the ins and oust of inns: MIA. you get to see mia for the first time! lorelai and sookie having a fight is :( but you get to see lorelai’s turmoil over actually leaving the inn. emily coming to see mia! luke yelling at the town over them being rude about luke! lorelai coming to his defense! rory telling jess off and jess wordlessly fixing luke’s toaster in silent apology!

the bracebridge dinner: GOD. love it. the horses and carriages! the absurd historical acting! emily and richard! rory and jess! luke and lorelai! it’s fantastic!

a-tisket, a-tasket: I LOVE THIS EPISODE. some of the town absurdity that was just A Plus. “it’s not like she’s shipping off to ‘nam!” is a great line. jackson proposing to sookie! and poor lane........

there’s the rub: emily and lorelai, seeing how great they could get along, but seeing how either of them wreck it just when it’s getting a-okay. god. it’s just such a great microcosm of their relationship.

dead uncles and vegetables: luke......... Luke. lorelai and rory and jess all rallying around him in their ways, and stars hollow by extension. even tho they were pretty shitty at first, they, like. managed to make it up to him in the end.

lorelai’s graduation day: GOD LAUREN GRAHAM, KELLY BISHOP, AND EDWARD HERMANN KILL IN THE GRADUATION SCENE!!!!! i ADORE that shot of the three of them, gets me every single time!!! the only thing i dislike about it is rory accidentally missing the graduation bc....... :/. like. i really like jess. but. come on.

i can’t get started: sookie’s wedding!!! her freaking out over the cake so much in her dress is So Her, she looked so pretty omg! plus, if the spa ep is a good microcosm of emily and lorelai, this is a great microcosm for christopher and lorelai. plus!!!! RORY AND JESS FIRST KISS!!!!!!

season three (look, full disclosure, seasons 3/4 are like. my faves. so)

haunted leg: gosh. lauren graham kills it in that last couple scenes. plus! kirk asking lorelai out on a date is hilarious! emily and lorelai’s lunch at luke’s going So Bad! and i know that not a ton of people like the francie chilton student politics intrigue subplot isn’t great for some people, but i do think that the potential was Great and there are definitely some really good scenes that arose from that subplot, so

take the deviled eggs... like. just. a great blend of town insanity (patty’s new boy, the town loner pitching a protest no one knows the reason behind) and lorelai and rory bonding (by deviled-egging jess’ CAR) and just!!! yes!!!!

they shoot gilmores, don’t they?: i mean. come ON. what list would be complete without this? literally every single favorites list has this episode on there. the dance marathon is the perfect example of town insanity! lane and dave getting their bonding! that little luke and lorelai moment about having kids! that scene of rory crying into lorelai’s shoulder!

a deep-fried korean thanksgiving: i love the whole “three thanksgivings” thing. Can Relate, Do Understand. i think that lorelai freaking out at rory for applying to yale is definitely a contrived subplot (i mean. she was never going to apply to only harvard. ma’am.) but i do like seeing sookie, and luke and jess, and just.... Yeah

dear emily and richard: our ONLY flashback ep! while i do think that only lauren graham can really pull lorelai off, the actress is, like, fairly decent (young christopher, however, does not really fit) and you just! yeah! you get to see them back in their youth and FINALLY get the context of how lorelai ran away!

the big one: like! yay paris! lorelai’s reaction (”i’ve got the good kid!”) is Gross, Frankly! it’s gross and bad! but also poor paris 🥺but!!! rory helping to comfort her afterwards!! richard falling asleep in the middle and having No idea of what just went down is also inexplicably hilarious to me!

those are strings, pinocchio: i mean. it’s the graduation episode. God. i just???? god. it’s such a great episode, there’s so many great moments, i just. 🥺

season four

the lorelais’ first day at yale: a great little titling parallel to chilton, but also, rory panicking when lorelai leaves is like. such a Thing ya know??? i just. yeah. i really like that ep it’s a nice introduction

the festival of living art: one, this show won its only emmy bc of the makeup, so that alone is great. uh, kirk being so adversary to the guy who plays judas is god tier humor! plus! sookie and jackson having their baby!

ted koppel’s big night out: THE FOOTBALL GAME EPISODE! i actually kind of love it, but more the first half than the latter; it’s such an emily and richard way to prepare for a football game, you know? and then meeting pennilyn lott! igniting the arc of emily and richard having doubts about their marriage which has Acting! Moments! but this also has jason and lorelai’s first date, which i Dislike, bc i Dislike Jason Very Much.

nag hammadi is where they found the gnostic gospels: seeing jess come back into town and you get to see how unfinished things are between him and rory..... the luke angst..... Yes.

the incredible sinking lorelais: a very realistic part of college, imo, in which you feel overwhelmed and anxious and EVERYTHING SUCKS NOW CAN I JUST CALL MY MOM, though i wish they’d set it up a bit more and followed it longer than an episode, and also that rory hadn’t gone to dean; but also, trix, and richard standing up to her, which!

scene in a mall: idk i just love this episode? seeing emily in her shopping element; seeing her break down in that way; seeing how shopping is like, one of her Only ways to execute power, and how she’s kind of jealous of lorelai’s career bc she was born into a generation where the only thing it was really acceptable for her to do was cultivate a husband and a nice house; plus!!! that last bit of emily and richard and the apples at the table just BREAKS your heart!!!

girls in bikinis, boys doin’ the twist: SPRING BREAAAAK which is so unexpected for paris and rory and therefore very funny. you get to see madeline and louise again—i actually really love their characters, lmao! paris and rory kiss! just! yeah!

tick, tick, tick, boom!/afterboom: another “idk i just enjoy it” episode. richard and floyd coming to a head; kirk’s easter egg hunt; seeing little davey. however i have some Words for rory because lindsay deserves better??? i understand that she could get a part time job but also MIND YOUR BUSINESS?????? dean’s the one taking classes! that’s an unnecessary expense! he has two jobs!! he’s allowed to take a pause!!! also i can’t believe i’m forced to defend dean right now!!! fuck asher, tho, but yay! breaking up with jason!!! yay breaking up with jason!!!!!!

luke can see her face/last week fights, this week tights: i can’t, okay??? i literally had to. the beginning of jess’ (admittedly mostly off-screen) development arc! luke and the self-help books! the absurdity of the renaissance wedding! the WEDDING DANCE!!! 

raincoats and recipes: truly an episode has never gone from such a “FUCK YESSSSSS FINALLY” scene to a “FUCK NOOOOOO WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGG” but honestly it’s just. it’s Such a fantastic episode like i can’t

season five

written in the stars: their first date 🥺the horoscope 🥺”i am in, lorelai. i am all in.” 🥺 HER GOING DOWNSTAIRS IN JUST HIS SHIRT 🥺 HIM YELLING AT THE TOWN ABOUT HOW IT’S THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS 🥺🥺🥺

we got us a pippi virgin: literally the concept alone of “nearly coming to blows via bop it” is great. also luke being like “rory is like pippi!” and showing off what a high regard he holds her in 🥺

emily says hello: LITERALLY so many great little things about this episode. emily deciding she wants to try dating! rory and christopher snapping at each other! KELLY BISHOP’S ACTING AFTER THE DATE WHEN SHE CLOSES THE DOOR ON HIM AND BURSTS INTO TEARS!!!!!!!

women of questionable morals: the dog. 

wedding bell blues: HUNDREDTH EPISODE couldn’t NOT make it on here, so here it is!!! luke and lorelai looking at each other when she’s next to the aisle! luke and christopher both yelling and logan—AcTING! also emily being so manipulative even on her second wedding day, it’s just So classically her, and kelly bishop and lauren graham in the final scene is just. Mwah!

so... good talk: rory literally stepping into lorelai’s shoes for a dinner and being the one to snap at emily and richard is Such a role reversal for her but honestly whenever it does happen i actually really enjoy seeing the dichotomy between the grandparents seeing rory as their perfect little second chance and lorelai seeing her as her mini-me and how rory walks the line between each. AND THAT ENDING KISS SCENE BETWEEN LUKE AND LORELAI????? I CAN’T?????

pulp friction: LORELAI CONTINUING TO ICE OUT EMILY AND RICHARD!!!!! the yelling scene at the diner!!!! plus seeing the chilton skirt come out again was nice imo i too have reused private schoolwear

season six (the season, admittedly, i have watched the least)

we’ve got magic to do: the outfits of the dar bash. paris’ sudden dedication to the proletariat. emily’s rant to shira. that is all

twenty-one is the loneliest number: them finally starting to talk; “this is luke, my soon-to-be-stepfather”; the pastor scene is also just. hilarious. but also so very richard and emily

let me hear your balalaikas ringing out: lorelai’s emotions toward paul anka being sick Oof and luke and the soccer team lmao but also JESS RETUUUUURNS!!!!! RORY SNAPS OUT OF IT!!!!!! FINALYYYYYYY!!!!

friday night’s alright for fighting: literally the montage of all of them intercut with fighting and them sitting in silence while the other two yell in the background to them laughing is just. Peak gilmore

this turned out..... even longer than expected lmao

[fayevalcntine]

The fact that we had five seasons of Dean so gross. I just rewatched the Shakespeare episode and Dean’s jealousy when it comes to Rory and Tristan is so scary and gross. I also can’t get over that Rory rightfully calls Tristan on his shit but doesn’t do that as much with Logan her actual boyfriend!

Dean's behavior around Tristan was awful, I always hate how people complain about Dean being "ruined" once Jess comes in the series, as if he was never an overly-jealous boyfriend who threatened to kill Tristan if he came near him again. I hate that Rory has to plead with Tristan for him to not tell Dean anything about their kiss. She has to manage Dean's emotions all the time throughout their relationship, especially when it comes to her even hanging out with other guys, and I feel so sad that Rory's first relationship alone was like this.

I think that once Logan agreed to being Rory's boyfriend, she likely thought she had to be accomodating to his behavior and his dumb gimmicks (like trying to steal that box from her grandparents' house and almost getting the maid fired), in order for her to 'keep' him as her boyfriend. Logan is incredibly lackadaisical and can suddenly change his mind on a whim if something isn't going his way, and given how Rory had to go through so much trouble to even get him to pay attention to her and want to spend time with her, I can see Rory thinking that she has to accept his behavior, even when it's bad and can get someone else into trouble. Granted, I don't agree with it, and I hate that Rory thinks that she has to shrink herself in order to keep a guy that she's into, but it's a recurring pattern in her behavior whenever she's in any relationship on the show. You see this happen with Dean all the time while they're together, especially when something happens and she has to make sure that he doesn't get mad otherwise he will yell at her and get into a fight with her over it. You see this happen with Jess when she's angry over him not calling her, and promptly tells him so in her message, but then changes her mind once she finds him outside and tells him to erase the message. Rory is more than capable of calling out guys on their shitty behavior when she sees it, like with Tristan and Logan when he annoys her in the first couple of episodes (including the 'buttfaced miscreant' rant), and even with Jess when he wants to be take no part in helping out Luke or at least behaving so that the townspeople don't give Luke crap about him. But once she's in a relationship with Jess or Logan (particularly with the latter), she stops confronting them as much because she simply thinks she has to be more passive. Granted, even when she does call out Logan on his privilege and behavior in 'Balalaikas', it escalates into a fight where Logan only plays victim and then leaves her. When she confronts him about the bridesmaids, the same thing happens and he doesn't even give her the space to be alone after just finding out that he slept with a bunch of women while they were apart and didn't even try to tell her about it. Again, he immediately places himself as the victim here by simply "thinking" that he wasn't cheating on her, even going so far as calling the other women "vipers", and never apologizes for not telling her. She's not even allowed to argue with him properly over it, so when she becomes passive-aggressive at him since she's still mad about it, he reprimands her for "embarassing him in front of his friends". Logan wasn't as bad as Dean in terms of temper and yelling, but he was so terrible at proper communication with Rory. Even when he's suddenly a different character in season 7, he proposes to her at her own graduation party without even so much as bringing up marriage as a topic beforehand, and then he simply ends their relationship when she says no. I feel so sorry for Rory for having these kinds of relationships as her 'prime' example of such in her life, coupled with Lorelai's issues with men and how she doesn't really trust the ones she dates (with the exception of Luke).

Yale Alumni Party - Finn

Request; Wasn’t one. I watched the episode and adore Finn.

Summary; Rory is with Dean, and her sister is single. Both of them are invited to their grandparents Yale Alumni party, Rory gives them the benefit of the doubt, but Y/N knows better and does everything she can to do this her own way.

Me and Rory had been invited to our grandparents for a party and Rory thought it was a good idea and I agreed to go with her but I was not as naive as Rory was and I knew something was up.

It was suspicious that this came a week after Rory had revealed she was once again with Dean and they knew I’d been single for a while. Rory went at six like they asked, but I was turning up at seven and told Rory to tell them I got held up, and I was glad I did.

This was a clear set up as all their ‘Yale Alumni friends’ had sons, no daughters. They had made Rory up like a princess but the make up artist and hair dresser had gone when I turned up.

I went and found Grandma straight away. “Hi Grandma, sorry I’m late.”

“Oh, it’s quite alright. You look lovely.” She smiled. “It’s a shame you couldn’t get here earlier, Rory had her hair and make up redone.”

“Oh what a shame.” I sighed. “Maybe next time.” I nodded, Grandpa came over and introduced me to a lot of people. Thankfully, I had Rory by my side for most of it. At one point, we both managed to sneak into the study.

“Phone Mom.” I said to Rory. “She needs to know.”

“I wish I’d come with you.” She sighed. 

“I told you, it’s better to be late to these things.” I shrugged, as she dialed Mom, putting her on loudspeaker.

“I told you.” Mom immediately said, as she answered. “Whatever’s going on on that party. I told you.”

“Do you wanna hear or wanna gloat?” I asked.

Rory told her everything that had happened to her and Mom was not impressed.

“But what about Y/N? Didn’t they do anything to her?”

“I turned up late on purpose because I’m smart.”

“That’s my girl.” Mom said proudly.

“We better go, they’ll definitely notice us missing at this party.” Rory sighed. We hung up and I dragged her to the patio where less people were until some guy named Jordan appeared to speak to Rory. I looked around and spotted Logan and Finn, giving me an idea.

“Excuse me, I’ll be right back.” Rory gave me a look to say “Please don’t leave me.” and I responded with a look that said “Trust me.”

I had been friends with Logan and Finn for a year now, and knew Rory knew them for her Life and Death Brigade story. 

“Logan, Finn. I need you guys.” I said, as I reached them. “I need you to pretend to date me and Rory before we get cornered.” I gestured over to Rory.

“What will I get in return?” Finn asked.

“I’ll set you both up with any of my friends you want, preferably not the same one.”

They both agreed, and promised to head over in a few minutes so as not to look suspicious. Some other guy had joined Jordan and my god, they were boring. I was glad when I heard the boys.

“So sorry were late, ladies.” Finn ‘apologized’, putting an arm around me.

“Yeah, thanks for keeping our girls busy man.” Logan smiled at the boys. “Otherwise, they may have noticed how late we are.”

Rory grinned when she saw what a did, and she rested her head on Logan’s shoulder as I wrapped an arm around Finn.

“Wait, you two are with these two?” Jordan asked.

“Going on a year and a half.” Logan answered.

“Two years and a month.” Finn smiled.

“Aww, you remembered the months.” I said, kissing his cheek.

“Then why the hell are we here?” The other guy grumbled. They wandered off as me and Rory thanked the boys.

“God, I hate these parties.” Finn grumbled, as Logan removed his arm from Rory, Finns remained where it was.

“Me too, but hey theres alcohol and your Grandma makes excellent food.”

“My grandma?” Rory was confused. How was she confused? They obviously knew them, why else would they be here?

“Logan?” Grandpa said. Logan turned to greet him and they had a conversation before Grandpa turned to Finn.

“And who is this young gentleman?” He asked, noticing Finns arm around me, and me cuddling into him.

“Oh this is Finn.” I introduced him, as they shook hands. “I met him and Logan at the start of my freshman year and we became friends. I figured it was time to introduce Rory to them.”

I knew Rory knew them but mostly through Life and Death Brigade and if Grandpa and Grandma learned about her jump with Logan, they’d die. I was part of the Brigade and attended the event but did not jump.

I knew he’d like that as Logan was a Huntzberger. Once they established Finn was also in Yale, Grandpa was happy.

“Since you girls seem to be in safe hands, I’m going to make another round and end up at the bar.”

“Bye Grandpa.” I smiled as he left.

“And that is why you should of kept in the same position.” Finn told Logan. “Now, he thinks Y/N has chosen a suitable gentleman.”

“Oh, Finn you are neither suitable or a gentleman.” I teased.

“You wound me.”

“Okay, first step to dealing with boring parties, make a sub-party, relocation.” Logan said, as he grabbed two bottles of champagne and handed a third one to Finn. “Colin!”

“Colin’s here?” I asked, turning to see him joining us.

We headed over to the poolhouse, and had our own party.

“Rory, Y/N. Your grandfather has horrible taste in scotch.” Colin told us, walking past the couch where I was sat between Rory and Finn.

“I think you should go inside and tell him that.” Rory suggested.

“If he hasn’t learned by now, I certainly can’t teach him.”

“Hey, Colin remember to top that up with something.” Logan reminded him. “Don’t want Ace or Y/N getting in trouble now.”

Colin assured he would, as Logan offered us another drink.

“No, because that is alcohol and it’s bad and we’re bad for drinking it.” Finn said, making me laugh. “Spank me.” This was said in all seriousness.

“Bend over then.” I challenged him, but before he could Logan spoke.

“So, what are your ladies choices?” He asked. “This is an obvious meat market, and I’m sure your grandparents are expecting you both pick someone by the end of tonight.”

This prompted all the guys in the poolhouse to chant pick me at me and Rory with Finn handing me a vase full of flowers.

“A room full of guys and still slim pickings.” Logan laughed

“I don’t know, maybe I should let my boyfriend help me choose.” Rory said.

“You have a boyfriend?” Rory nodded, and they turned to me.

“What about you?”

“I’m single.” This prompted to the boys all asking them to pick me again.

“You promised to set me up with someone you knew, any one I wanted. “Finn reminded me. “And I want you.”

“Guess, I’m spoken for guys.” I shrugged, causing Fin to over-dramatically kiss my cheek. “But you are actually taking me out for this Finn.”

“But of course my darling, all the best for the girl I love.”

I laughed and rolled my eyes at the antics, when Rory turned to me panicked. “What time is it?”

“8:45.” I told her. “Oh shoot, Dean.” We both jumped up and I helped her get ready. Once they found out Dean was her boyfriend, they all followed us outside.

“I’m sorry she’s late Dean. It’s my fault.” I lied. “My grandparents set this up for me to find a Yale guy and I was trying to get her to stay with me.”

Rory silently thanked me before talking to Dean who broke up with her on the spot. I ran over to her as Dean left and hugged her.

“Okay guys back to the poolhouse.” I called. “It’s major cheer up time.”

“I shall re-enact Passion of the Christ.” Finn yelled, as they began to walk back.

“It’ll be okay.” I assured her. “Nothing seems as bad after Finn’s Passion of the Christ.”

“She’s right.” Logan agreed, who’d hung back to walk with us. “Because it’s terrible.”

We got a small smile out of Rory. “I’m gonna head to the bathroom and clean myself up, meet you there?”

I nodded. “Avoid Grandpa and Grandma, if they see you crying and find out about what happened, they’ll try even harder.”

“If you see them, tell them you’ve gotta get back to me.” Logan suggested.

“Thanks guys.” Rory ran off and me and Logan walked on.

“He actually does like you, you know? Finn, he’s been dying to ask you out for ages.” Logan told me. “Since he’s met you, there’s been no girls.”

“But he always talks about them.” I frowned.

“Yeah, to make you jealous.” He told me. “Just give him a real chance, yeah?”

“I will.” I smiled at Logan. We entered the poolhouse for Finn to appear by my side with alcohol. “So, next Saturday, 8. I’ll pick you up from your dorm?”

“Sounds like a plan.” I smiled. Rory ran back in at this point.

“I saw them but I said we were hanging with Logan and Finn and they were happy and let me go.”

“Awesome.” I grinned, handing her a drink. “Let’s party.”

Afterwards, we ended up in a limo which took me and Rory home, I got out with Logan and Finn following me so Rory could leave. Rory stumbled out, making me laugh.

Before he could leave, I grabbed Finn’s tie and pulled him in for a kiss amidst whoops and cheers. “See you next week, handsome.” I grinned, pulling apart. “Bye guys, C’mon Rory.” 

I grabbed her hand and we ran towards the house. Tonight actually turned out great.

GILMORE GIRLS - rory & logan (ik ik)

Hey anon! Ty for the ask!

Rory and Logan au.

Hope you like it :)

9 Years Old

Rory runs away, away, far far away from that idiot of a boy, Logan.

That idiot of a boy who enjoys pulling her hair, stealing her cupcakes, and throwing sand at her eyes.

"Rory! We do not run inside the house." Her grandma says, staring Rory down until Rory mumbles an apology.

Rory lost so much time that Logan caught up to her.

"Hello Ace," He says, grinning in a way that makes Rory want to run again, but alas, her grandma is behind her, so she must pretend to be civil.

"Hi, Logan," Rory mutters, groaning inwardly, as her grandma pushes the two of them up to her room.

Logan stomps up to her room, pulling out books and carelessly skimming through them.

Rory glares at him.

Ok, he can be horrific towards her, no problem.

Her books are where she draws the line.

"Logan!" She yells, "There are no words to express how idiotic you are,"

And despite having no words, Rory made sure Logan Huntzberger never touched Rory's stuff again.

15 Years Old

"He's cute," Lane mutters, tracking Logan as he walks into Rory's birthday party.

If it was up to Rory, Logan wouldn't be there. Unfortunately, her mom lost the battle to Emily Gilmore and all of their obligation friends are integrated within Rory's Stars Hollow friends.

"He's a jerk." Rory counters, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, but he's a cute jerk."

"Not that cute," Rory grumbles, fighting a blush as Logan winks at her.

Great, now he noticed them staring.

"You say that but your face tells me otherwise," Lane replies, clearly enjoying Rory's discomfort.

"Shut up, please," Rory hurriedly replies, seeing Logan run up to them.

"Hey, Gilmore. Happy birthday," Logan says, smirking, as if he knew what the two of them were talking about.

"Thanks," Rory replies, waiting for Logan to leave.

"I can take a hint, Ace, what with the glares you're shooting at me. Anyway, here's your gift," He says, handing her a wrapped...is that a book?

Logan "I am oblivious to anything that won't flirt with me" Huntzberger got Rory a book.

"It's the book that Dean spilt water on last week, I thought you'd like it replaced. There's also a gift card for the bookstore across the street in there somewhere," Logan mutters.

"This is the part where you say thanks," Lane whispers.

"Right. Sorry. Thanks, Logan." Rory replies.

He just winks in response.

How confusing.

18 Years Old

"Damn, I left my—" Rory mutters, turning to see gold hair spiked in the most obnoxious style holding one of her moving boxes.

"Desk supplies?" He says, reading off of the box.

No one should be allowed to look like that at 6 in the morning.

"Yeah. How did you—"

"Emily,"

Of course.

Well, Rory should make conversation now?

She would make conversation if she could actually bring herself to look at him.

If she didn't keep thinking about a spurr of the moment, idiotic decision.

If she didn't keep thinking about his lips on hers.

"Right, uh, how's," What's her name? "Melanie?"

"Melody," He corrects.

"Sorry. How is—"

"She's good. So is her boyfriend."

Oops. "I'm sorry,"

"It's ok. Turns out I like someone else."

"Wh—" Rory turns to ask.

He's gone.

20 Years Old

She can't possibly fall for Logan Huntzberger.

She can't okay?

It's Logan. Logan who dates 3 girls at the same time. Who goes on life-threatening trips just for the heck of it.

Logan who brings her coffee in the mornings. And junk food in the evenings. Logan who sits with her when she hurt for Dean. Logan who smiles and sits with her while she's working.

Rory is smart. She's rational. She does not fall for guys in 2 months.

She definitely doesn't fall for guys like Logan Freaking Huntzburger.

"Hey Ace,"

She jumps. And wishes for a time when him calling her that doesn't make her stomach jump.

"Woah, where's the fire?" He laughs, causing her to glare at him.

"What's up, Hunztberger?" She asks, a little grumpy.

"So. I had an extra ticket to the Bangles, and I'm well aware of your obsession with them, so," Is it just Rory, or is he nervous? "Would you want to go with me? We could also get dinner a—"

Rory grins (though she'll never admit it).

"Logan, I'd love to. On one condition,"

"Sure, Ace, whatever you want."

"It's a date,"

"Wouldn't have it any other way," He replies, leaning in so that Rory thinks he's going to kiss her.

Please god, please please please please.

"See you tonight, Ace," He says, walking away.

Rory groans into the air and wishes for tonight to come soon.

Best Underrated Scene: Gilmore Girls - 1x07 Kiss and Tell

Rory’s first kiss! How fun. This episode is overall pretty tight, I’d say. We have a fun, monumental moment and the hurt feelings from Lorelai when she learns Rory didn’t tell her about it, followed by Lorelai actually being an Embarrassing Parent and inviting Dean over to watch a movie. I do think that is a bit out of character, but I don’t know...like Lorelai should realize how stupid it is to invite Dean over when Rory hasn’t even gone on a proper date with him herself? But I guess Lorelai is trying SO hard to not be a “Mom,” that she overdoes it and is super Mom-y. While I enjoy the episode overall, I did find it difficult to find a scene that popped out as underrated and special. There’s something to be said for the Lorelai/Dean serious talk, but it is to be expected. Also, it will always disturb me how much more chemistry they have together than Rory and Dean. It must be impossible to be in a room with Lauren Graham and not be turned on.

So with that it came to a toss up between Lorelai and Luke at the grocery store and the very brief scene I ultimately chose. I am a diehard Lorelai/Luke shipper, so it’s easy to always go to these moments as stand outs. As such, I’m going to try and restrain unless it is really called for. I liked this scene a lot because it show cases their back and forth wit and joking with each other, while also showing how Lorelai is starting to share personal aspects of her life with him in small, intimate ways and how receptive Luke is to these moments. He is also a good listener with decent advice (albeit rather short and to-the-point, as we should expect from him). But I went instead with:

Lorelai Finds Out About The Kiss From Mrs. Kim:

Mrs. Kim is a tricky character. She teeters between a racist caricature and a sincere portrayal of a strict Christian Korean mom. It’s not a culture I am super familiar with, so I won’t pretend to be. I do know that Mrs. Kim and Lane are based on real people and the lived experience of Helen Pai -- friend of ASP and a producer on the show. So with that in mind, we can assume there might be slight elements of exaggeration, but the basic core of the character is based in reality (which is true for a lot of Gilmore Girls’ characters and townies). Emily Kuroda does a great job of toeing this line, especially as the seasons progress and we get more depth and understanding of her character. Something I realized on this rewatch, is that this scene ends up being a subtle hint at the complexity of this character.

It starts innocuously enough with Mrs. Kim jumping up from behind one of her many pieces of furniture and frightening Lorelai. It’s kinda a funny gag, but maybe by now in my rewatching of the show, the “Kim’s Antiques” set has lost it’s comedic sensibility. I get really bored with all the “Marco Polo” games played in the house to locate each other. BUT, moving on. Lorelai bought a rocker a “couple weeks ago,” and is there to pick it up. “Six weeks ago,” Mrs. Kim corrects her, scolding her simultaneously. Mrs. Kim often acts as a foil to Lorelai in a similar way as Emily does. She is a strict mother, with very traditional views on the roles the parents and children play in the family. She is often icy and a little scary. We can tell that Lorelai herself is scared of her. Lorelai is obviously very responsible in a lot of ways, but she doesn’t see the harm in leaving her stuff around to be picked up later and she certainly isn’t particularly worried about the difference between two and six weeks when it comes to a chair she bought seemingly on a whim (as she remarks later, she remembers it being smaller). Mrs. Kim, on the other hand, runs a tight ship. And while her house may look a bit haphazard, this is simply due to the nature of her business and it would be best if one didn’t forget that. I imagine she has a flawless mental record of everything that comes in and goes out of her store.

She finds the chair easily in the mess as she remarks that her store isn’t a holding facility, it is a furniture store --“Except when Lorelai Gilmore buys, then furniture stays here for six weeks.” Lorelai offers to pay extra to keep the items there, but Mrs. Kim will not stand for this. That’s not what she wants. She may be stubborn, but damn if we can’t admire her for this quality sometimes. It is always a bit admirable to see people who don’t bend to the entitled Lorelai Gilmores of the world. Lorelai makes her comment that she remembers the chair was smaller and we get a bit of the dry humor that Mrs. Kim occasionally displays, “It’s been six weeks, maybe it grew.” Everyone in an ASP show has to be a little funny at times.

Lorelai apologizes again about the chair and adds that she’s been really busy. “Maybe you should be less busy,” Mrs. Kim says, “then you can remember to pick up chairs...And then you could keep your daughter from running around kissing boys.” The significance for Mrs. Kim’s character in this moment is not that she tells Lorelai that Rory kissed a boy (of course she would say this and use it as a indication that Lorelai lacks the type of parenting skills that Mrs. Kim feels are required), it’s that in a scene earlier she obviously overheard Rory and Lane talking about the kiss and rather than say anything or banish Rory from the house or anything that we might expect, she pretended to buy Lane’s quick lie that Rory had been kissed by “the Lord.” I think this showcases a little bit of the softness that we eventually get with Mrs. Kim character as she eventually learns to accept her daughter’s rebellious nature and love her despite their differences. It’s a very small moment, but we can see that while she is annoyed at the influence she perceives Rory’s life having over Lane, she also allows for them to lie to her at times. Certainly she wants to control many aspects of Lane’s life, but in the end she knows she can’t control it all and that Lane (and Rory) are both decent kids.

Lorelai takes a little long to accept what Mrs. Kim tells her. She can’t believe that Rory wouldn’t tell her about the kiss. Eventually she accepts the truth since Mrs. Kim mentions the “boy in the grocery store” and Lorelai remembers from the incident in the pilot that this is the same boy who unwittingly almost convinced Rory to give up on Chilton. We see a host of emotions go through her face as she accepts this truth. Certainly she is worried about what it means for her daughter to be kissing boys, but ultimately she is more hurt than anything about the secrecy of it all. This is the reason for the events as they unfold in the rest of the episode. Lorelai turns to leave and process the information and Mrs. Kim yells after her again that she left her chair.

Again, the reason for my choosing this is the small hint at what Mrs. Kim as a character is and what she will become. She’s not a monster or a caricature of a uber-Christian, Korean mom. She is just a mom, doing what she thinks is best, and constantly battling with what is okay and what is not okay according to her own beliefs and upbringing. Not every mother-daughter relationship can be Lorelai and Rory, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t moments of softness in the other relationships we see with more strict parenting styles.

Also -

Shout out to this prescient line in the year 2000, pre-An Inconvenient Truth (2006):

Rory: Well what did you want to talk about?

Lorelai: I dunno...anything. [coyly trying to get Rory to tell her about the kiss]

Rory: Ok, did you read that article in the newspaper about the polar ice caps melting?

Lorelai: Yeah, yeah. Oo, big deal.

Yes, Lorelai. It IS a big deal. Ah, sweet innocent 2000.
