#it gives lorelei and rory gilmore vibes

[roeyliteratiforever]

These may be some unpopular opinions on Gilmore Girls and what I think their Astrology signs are. I'll share some of mine. Feel free to share your thoughts of what you think some characters sign might be.

Lorelai is such an Aquarius - She is very independent and goes with the flow. She can be flighty and has her own sense of style. She is a trend setter. For example when she is with Max she is very into him, but she kind of just dips right before the wedding. Lorelai wants love, but she is scared and can have a sort of detached style.

Jess is a Leo Sun and Aquarius Moon - Jess is a very passionate person and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He is very passionate about his special interests and is passionate about his love interests. When I think of Leo I think of someone who is very passionate and is attracted to people that are ambitious. (Even though Jess didn't see himself going to college he was very supportive and even attracted to Rory so much because of her brain and ambition.) He also has that Aquarius tendency where he can be a bit flighty and just goes where the wind blows him. He is also super smart and often thinks why do others not think of the things he thinks about. (He radiates both Leo and Aquarius imo)

Rory is very much a Virgo - She is so sweet and caring. She comes off a bit shy or introverted at first, but when she opens up she is very warm with you. She has a tendency to be a people pleaser and she wants everyone around her to be happy. She is very much a peacemaker.

Sookie is very much a Taurus - Sookie is always an ear for Lorelei, she is a loyal friend. She is very gentle, bubbly and sunny. I'm a Taurus myself and Sookie reminds me so much of myself sometimes. Taurus are very sunny characters. Yes they are stubborn, and some love fashion, but we also love food and Sookie became a Chef because of how much she loves food. She's just such a Taurus imo.

Emily is very much a Gemini - Gemini are very chatty and have a certain charm but can talk circles around you making you feel confused. Emily can be very blunt in a Gemini fashion, and has a tendency to switch up. She wants to get close to Lorelai but instead of telling her exactly how she is feeling she feels she has to manipulate her to get her to do what she wants. This is very Gemini characteristics. (I have a ton of Gemini in my family and I definitely see it.)

Lane gives me Pisces vibes - Lane is so silly and goofy, and just super chill. She also reminds me of my best friend from highschool in some ways who is a Pisces.

Logan gives me Libra vibes - He is very charming and is the life of the party. He can charm himself out of any situation. He's very adventurous. The fact that Rory is his first relationship because he's used to just casual hookups and situationship is also very Libra. He's a bit of a free spirit too and doesn't typically do commitment.

Okay but what about a Gilmore Girls Au for the Marauders. Only the first few seasons though jegulus endgame.

Rory- James

Jess- Regulus

Dean- idk (not lily because Dean was toxic as fuck) some reason Snape comes to mind because that way it’d be easier to hate Dean.

Lorelei- Remus (yeah aging him up a bit and making him James’ dad because it fits the narrative)

Luke- Sirius

Lane-Peter

Paris- Lily

Yeah I know aging up Sirius and Remus seems odd but they give Luke and Lorelei vibes, plus Jess is Luke’s nephew so like it fits the familial bond of Sirius and Regulus. This all started cuz I saw a Gilmore girls tiktok and I was like ‘Jess gives Regulus vibes’ and I need it as a fanfic now

Gilmore Girls – Luke & Lorelai│Jess & Rory – Poetry by Dead Men

I had to okay?

I keep seeing this song for Rory &Jess but it gives me such Luke & Lorelei vibes (over coffee?!? I mean come on) so I edited them together and oh the parallels I uncovered.

🎩 DRESS UP LIKE HIPSTERS- tell me your favourite show or movie and I'll make you a little outfit based on it (specify any clothing preferences)

uhhh probably gilmore girls? <3

so I vividly remember lorelei wearing loads of turtlenecks and vests give me this sort of preppy yale girl vibe while oversized sweaters make me think of rory, think there was one episode where she wore a beige one and it clearly stayed with me ndjs

I have a gilmore girls theory/interpretation.

Each of Rory's boyfriends represents an ideal, a wish that girls have to find a guy like that.

Dean is a mom's ideal. Dean is exactly the type of guy a mom would like a her daughter's first boyfriend. He becomes one with them, bonds with them, comes into their group. Lorelei is aware of pretty much everything that happens in their relationship. This is weakened slightly in episode 1, because of how she had second thoughts about Chilton, but that was Rory, not Dean. Dean is respectful and loyal to Rory, and he mom approving is a big party of that. He never held her back, hardly ever did something to hurt her. Dean is also the only one of the 3 that Lorelei really likes.

Jess is a teenage girl's ideal. He's a bad boy who likes books (this goes along with a read that gilmore girls is for the nerd girls to relate to), he makes trouble but never too much, he does actually give a shit about Rory. He gives off the rebelious vibe while also being safe and have good things to relate to. Rory leaving for new York city feels like a romanticized dream that you could go off, have a little adventure, and win back the guy you like, convince him to return.

Logan is a young woman's ideal. "I don't to lose you so I'll drop the girls and commit" is something I think women chase and hope for in relationships, not always other girls but whatever shit they're pulling, giving it up because keeping her is more important seems like the hope a lot of women have. Logan gave her space and let her get through her problems, which I think was the completely right move because it would never have been his place to tell her she was being ridiculous and should go back to school (in fact, when he does it's not him being his best self, and is only after Jess tells her first that he gives that opinion.) He also challenges her to grow as a person, and you see her blossoming i to herself when she's with him. That's an ideal.

But why is gilmore girls so great? A lot of shows have an ideal guy, right? What makes gilmore girls distinctive about it is that even though they act in a sort of dream guy way, it's all backed by their character and development. They all have depth to their character and reasons for being these things. Makes it almost hard to tell how ideal they are.

Supergirl’s new showrunner (out of two new showrunners): Jessica Queller

After writing this James/Lena versus James/Reign spoiler speculation post, I not can’t get the mental image of Reign/Ruby as Lorelei and Rory from Gilmore Girls out of my head. XD (I think Ruby having a really round face like Rory and Reign’s the mother seeming kind of emotionally removed gave me this vibe)

That said, as fun as this theory sounds, Queller it seems was only on Gilmore Girls for one year, she spent much more time on Gossip Girl and so far it doesn’t sound to much like Supergirl is writing in a fancy ball or party every other week or so ;) Though now that I think about it, her episodes contained Thanksgiving (Medusa), Valentines Day ( Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk ) and now presumably a wedding shower (Far From The Tree), so maybe ... As various people have noted she was also on Carrie Diaries for a short bit (produced 3 episodes, wrote 1). 

I still find it interesting to look at what episodes she wrote before she became showrunner: 

She wrote the ever beloved Falling with Kara on Red K and major sister moments/Alex being a hero. 

She wrote Welcome to Earth where Kara thinks Mon-El might have killed the president and at the end has to tell him about the fate of his planet. 

She wrote Medusa which featured the first Karamel kiss and Kara angsting about her parents. 

She wrote Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk aka the episode everybody anti-Karamel fan hates XD

She also wrote Resist which about Kara rushing to save both Lena and Mon-El from the alien ship (and the hated by me stupid forced marriage story). 

If anything can be gleamed, my impression would be that she seems to like angsty Kara. 

The other interesting episode to me is Resist since I have this theory about the Supergirl writers being very unsubtle and telegraph-y (I also don’t care for this episode, so I’m probably trying to extract value out of the episode by trying to find foreshadowing). 

BTW, maybe it’s also noteworthy that she wrote an episode where Kara spelled out to Mon-El that she wanted him to back off protecting her ( Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk) and the episode where Mon-El follows Kara’s wishes when she tells him to leave the Rhea fight to her (Resist). 

Also both Falling and Medusa had some really interesting takes on the Alex backstory, with Falling addressing that there might be resentment and Medusa having the scene where Alex comes out to her mother and her mother talks to Alex about how Alex is too hard on herself and how Alex is actually special and amazing. 

(btw, Resist also features a small speech by Rhea to Lena that Lena is amazing, though the bigger Rhea to Lena speech game in the episode before that)

Her episodes generally seem to have decent amounts of Sanvers (though from what I understand not everybody is happy with the quality all the time, like in the case of the Valentine’s day episode). I think she also wrote a callback to her own stuff, I think Sanvers did a callback in Resist to the first time they met (”Full circle”) that time the president was attacked, which also was written by Queller. 

1.) I’ve commented before that the moment where Kara and Mon-El meet each other again on the ship and pretend that Mon-El is dating Kara Danvers, but not Supergirl always felt like setup to me. This appears to be paying out in the form of Lena feeling guilty over costing Kara Davners her alien boyfriend. 

2.) The scene between Kara and Cat about loving both Mon-El and Lena and the Lena/Mon-El scene where they talk “I can see why she loves you” also felt a bit like “the writers putting their foot down and spelling for the audience how they see the relationships”. Yes both in the “Kara really does love Mon-El” part (unfun for the Mon-El haters) but also intentionally putting Kara’s love for Lena into a similar realm (unfun for any Lena haters, even if you think that it’s platonic love)

Again the fact that the person who wrote this episode ended up becoming a showrunner I think gives more value to a statement like that (which you can read as “stop fighting, Kara loves both”) than if some one off writer had written it. 

She also has teleplay by: 

The season 1 finale  Better Angels where Kara saves everybody by inspiring hope. James and Kara get together and of course a certain mysterious pod crashes. 

The season 2 opener (Superman and Lena come to town, Mon-El is still a mystery)

Story for the season 2 finale (Rhea being defeated, Mon-El off to space). 

As for season 3, Queller is supposed to have written the third episode, the one with Maggie’s and J’onn’s fathers and Maggie and Alex being thrown a wedding shower.

Gilmore Girls Season Two, Episodes 8 & 9

It would be nice to watch one episode of this show where someone I regularly see doesn't set my teeth on edge. I grew up watching weekly TV and it is possible to have conflict between recurring characters where you don't want to put one into a medically induced coma, so they can grow a new personality.

So I can see why I didn't remember much about this episode. Three things that were awesome: Mia, Luke giving Lorelei a pep talk, the development of the painting.

The rest is annoying.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with flights between friends. If everyone was always skipping through meadows it would be stupid. However, as I've said before, I have a problem with conflicts that come about because people don't open their damned mouths. As fast and as often as Lorelei talks, she couldn't say to Sookie “Mia selling this place scares me because this is where Rory and I started out” ? I know that sometimes friends pick fights with each other when they are stressed but in my experience, once you get into your 30s and have friends that have known each other, long enough you can tell that's what happening. There have been numerous times when my best friend or I have started a conversation where one of us is just geared up for a fight. My friend let's me get about ten words in before she says “You're acting weird, tell me what's wrong.” I can be a little more blunt saying something along the lines of “What are you pissed off about?” She has two kids so once I turned the mom tables on her and said: “Use your words”.

Basically a blind cat could see that Lorelei was being an ass and it had nothing to do with Sookie. I have a hard time buying that Sookie wouldn't see it. Why did there need a fight in the first place? Was the script too short? Lorelei could have been freaked out and been a little quiet with Sookie and it would have had the same effect. Luke could have just as easily asked how Lorelei was doing with the business stuff, and they could have had the same heart-to-heart. Lorelei could have come to Sookie and explained why she was being so weird, and they could have had a similar moment. The script must have been two minutes too short.

The town turning on Luke... Yep, officially dislike Jess. Also, not too happy with the rest of the town. I'm a little biased here. I grew up in a small town, while there were no town meetings where everyone got together to decide who to treat badly, there were certain people who were just routinely shit upon. It usually had to do with what last name you had. Two families in particular were sort of singled out as “bad news”. The weird part? Everyone in town (except for a very very small number of people) were in some way related to those two families, hell, those two families were related to each other. It always seemed crazy to me... But then I was one of those few people not related to anyone in town maybe it made sense if you had an inside track?

Anyway, I get where the town is coming from, sort of. Jess is a pain in the ass, but he is doing minor mischief. Star's Hollow should count themselves lucky that they aren't a bigger town because Jess is the type to match his mayhem to the town. In a bigger place, there just might have been a dead animal outside the store instead of a chalk outline.

I did love Rory telling him off. I don't really get why Rory would find the prank funny. I mean, she likes the town, right? And while her and her mom do like seeing Star's Hollow residents be quirky she's never really shown any love of chaos. I mean, yeah, Jess is being the G rated version of Loki, but he's still making a lot of people unhappy. I would think that that alone would annoy Rory.

Also, the vibe I got was that he did the whole prank as a way to get Rory's attention... What's the thought process?

“How do I impress the pretty girl who reads a lot? Talk to her about books? Movies? Just talk to her in general? Nah, too common. I know! Dead body chalk outline and police tape! That's not freakishly odd and totally not an idea I should seek therapy for!”

Then again, I also don't get the thought process of “How do I fix the fact that I made the whole town turn on my uncle? I'll fix the toaster, now we're square!”

Jess is both weird and annoying.

I did like the interaction between Emily and Mia. It is weird because I see both sides. I totally get why Emily would be upset that Mia didn't send her home, but on the other hand I get why Mia didn't. Mia didn't send her home because she couldn't have.

Think about it. A sixteen-year-old turns up with a baby, asking for a job, she has steel and determination in her eyes. If you tell her no, you can tell she's not going to give up. She'll just move on to a place that would hire her and maybe that wouldn't be a place where she and her baby would be safe. If you give her a job and a place to stay and then try to make her go home. You can't be sure that she'll actually go home or stay home, that leaves the pair of them in the same iffy situation. Mia knew that Lorelei and Rory would be safe with her, so she took them in.

Not saying Emily should be happy about it, but as always she is looking at how Lorelei leaving impacted her and Richard, not anyone else. She has never talked to Lorelei, asked what her thinking was, the why of it all. It is just all about Emily. That is annoying. But I do like that she seems to be taking small steps forward.

All in all a fairly forgettable episode.

Episode 8. Don't really know why I forgot this one as I really liked it. I loved the ice cream machine bit. I loved that Lorelei named it and called a bunch of relatives. She should have just donated it to Luke's! Even if he didn't need it he would have taken it. Made it into a planter or something.

I feel sorry for Paris for a number of reasons but this episode highlights one. She's laser focused on college, so much so that she's not getting the most out of her education. The assignment of interpreting Romeo and Juliet in a new way is a great one! It allows for the students to really look at and analyze the play, think about the themes consider which are universal and which were products of the time and culture it was written in. This allows for creative thinking and the development of the ability to think about and use what one is learning. But poor Paris is only worried about the grade and so afraid of taking risks that she will only go with what is standard. I speak from experience here, college will melt your brain until you learn how to think.

The teachers are worried because Rory doesn't socialize? I would think they would also be worried that Paris can't think beyond the rigid boundaries of what is written on a page. This school is supposed to prep the kids for college, right? They aren't doing anything differently than the public schools of the early 2000s (aside from the one rogue teacher, I guess).

I kinda like the fact that Paris ended up being Romeo. If they had used a more modern setting that could have been the plan from the start and the whole Tristian drama could have been avoided. I mean, they could have reinterpreted the whole “forbidden love” thing as a lesbian relationship or with the idea that Romeo might be a DFAB trans guy. It would have highlighted society's issues with non hetero, non binary identities. Hell, if they wanted to go deep they could have figured out a way to address the “LGBTQ+ people don't get happy endings” trope that is obvious in a lot of media.

That would have been interesting as Paris and Rory would have had to work together to make this believable and maybe come out of it with a better idea of each other's perspectives.

Speaking of perspective, it was a throw away joke but I liked that Lane's mom watched and came up with a different take on Romeo and Juliet. In my view, R&J is many things, but a love story it is not! What kind of great love story ends in teen suicide? Sure, I thought of it as a love story when I was younger as do a lot of teenagers. I think this makes a point about the play. Teenagers do dumb things out of emotion (adults do too, but that's a whole other line of thought). This doesn't mean that teens are dumb just that they are feeling things so intensely, probably because it is the first time they have felt these emotions that they do stuff that is not well-thought-out. Add parental pressure to that and you have a powder keg. I think R&J is more about how overly controlling parents can push their kids into dangerous situations. Also, to look at the play in a way that might not have been Shakespeare's intent, it could also be seen as a parable detailing why 14 year olds might not be ready for marriage, arranged or otherwise.

Anyway, the little “love triangle” between Christian, Rory, and Dean in this episode was less interesting. First off, I get that Rory is a pretty girl but why is she like catnip to all the boys? Are there really no other nice girls in Chilton or Star's Hollow? The way all the guys flock to and fight over her, you'd think she was dating a sparkly vampire.

Secondly, am I the only one who sees a lot of similarity between Tristian and Jess? Is that why Tristian had to go? Because he was redundant? It is sort of like Christopher and Max. They both could play the same role so one of them had to be cut. The writers needed to compare notes because I feel like there were a few “Oops, we wrote another doppelganger” discussions.

Thirdly, why is Rory still getting the blame for her and Dean's break up? The whole practice fight between Lorelei and Rory just highlights that Lorelei is sort of mean when it comes to this plot line. Dean told Rory he loved her and then got pissed and broke up with her because she didn't feel comfortable saying it back. How does this make Dean the victim? Just because one person is ready for the L word doesn't mean that the other person is, and that doesn't make the latter person bad. Acting like an ass and breaking up with someone you “love” because you didn't hear what you wanted to hear when you wanted to hear it makes that person a jerk.

This seems sort of like the whole “friend zone” myth. A dude decided he wants to date someone but that person doesn't want to date him therefore it is the other person's fault because the dude wants to date them, so they should date the dude! He's decided that he is the right guy for this person, so it must be true. The other person is just a bitch.

Dean loves Rory and is ready to say it, therefore Rory must love Dean and be ready too. He's reached this point so, goddammit, she needs to be at this point too. After all Dean decides how emotions work.

Dean is a teenager (and did something dumb out of emotion) so I can sort of forgive him for not fully empathizing and acting out of hurt feelings. It is the fact that Lorelei keeps sticking up for the dude who was trying to emotionally manipulate her daughter that gets to me. That was part of the “rage trilogy” from last season that made me annoyed at Lorelei because she was all “See it from his side” which is totally valid except for the fact that his side was to act like a brat who didn't get the ice cream he wanted *right then*.

Uge!

Okay on to somewhat happier things. Lorelei's date. That was cute and funny, how she was all proud of being a casual dater and I even liked a lot of jokes Luke made about how old the guy was. It was also really cute how Sookie tried to explain Luke to her. But Luke was being snarkier than necessary. I mean Lorelei is firmly set on her course of sailing that river in Egypt, so she's not going to ask him out right now. I get him being jealous, but he could, you know *ask her out*. I get why he doesn't, I mean what if she says no? But if what Sookie said is supposed to be true, that he's upset because it seems like Lorelei would date anyone but him, how can he be pissed at her when he's never asked? I guess that's why Luke limits it to taking pot shots and then being grouchy(ier) because he realizes he's sulking? Oddly I don't mind this sort of stuff when it involves Luke and Lorelei but when the same stupid jealousy stuff comes up with Rory and Dean, it bugs me. Maybe because as pouty as Luke gets he doesn't act like he owns Lorelei? Don't know really. Luke is likable, Dean is not. Might be as simple as that.

A forgettable episode followed by a pretty good one. Episode 8 didn't have Jess and despite revolving around Rory's love life Dean was less irritating than Tristian. Nothing has pissed me off horribly yet. So far, so good.
