I was thinking recently about Lane Kim (my beloved) and how I’ve always kind of hated her arc (bcos ASP is obsessed with getting people pregnant) and I think her own story line would have been so much more interesting if she did become a rockstar.
I just love the idea of Rory, who had everything handed to her to her on a silver plate -an encouraging, happy home life, an expensive education, contacts with people in the industry she wanted to be in, being accepted to every college she applied for, going to a fucking Ivy League college - failing. (As we know she does) just becoming this absolute mess of a journalist. I love the idea of her throwing it all away because she took it for granted.
But her friend, the one who’s family never supported her - not in the way that mattered - who didn’t have industry contacts or the musical education or experience, who didn’t have a leg up, who had to sneak about in order to practice, to perform gigs, to improve at all in her field of interest. I would love to see her succeed, the girl who no one thought was going anywhere - the girl that didn’t even think she was going anywhere. The girl who for so long had to live vicariously through Rory.
I would love for Mrs Kim to come around eventually and be proud of her daughter because even though it’s not what she wanted for her, it’s what her daughter wanted for herself and she got it. I want her to be proud that her daughter is this headstrong woman that fights so hard for what she wants and doesn’t let anything get in the way of that.
It would make me enjoy Rory’s arc a lot more too, for once she’s in Lane’s shadow & Lane finally gets what she’s always wanted. I just love that juxtaposition. And I hate that Lane never got what she wanted, I hate that her life feels entirely overshadowed by men and babies.

Rory Gilmore
How I feel about this character: I find her journey interesting and very consistent and true to her character. I have no strong feelings for her, though.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: mm... I do enjoy what her relationship with Logan brings to her narrative.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: the other Gilmores! And Christopher, in a trainwreck way.
My unpopular opinion about this character: she's more like Christopher than people admit.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: n/a.

i really resent the sentiment that susie myerson is some luke 2.0 lol. it's not just that I love susie and can't stand luke xD (I can acknowledge interesting traits in characters I dislike, I swear!!), but
a.) "luke/the diner owner was supposed to be a woman until the network pressured to change it!!" so? are people truly naïve enough to think this would've led to queer!lorelai? (it didn't even lead to queer!midge). the reason the network wanted that role to be a male one was that they wanted a male central character/prospective LI for her.
b.) susie has ambitions! goals! DREAMS! she wants to be BIG and leave her mark in the world! this is literally the opposite of luke ffs.
c.) it IS interesting how midge/susie DID end up being the central dynamic in TMMM... while L/L, for all the hijacking it did, could never even dream of reaching that place. LOL.
