Gilmore girls (part 4) - Coffee and graduating.

Lorelai × OC

Lorelai × Rory

Paris × reader

Lorelai was walking to Luke's diner. She impatiently looking at her iPhone waiting for her girlfriend to call.

"Congratulations Lexi! You got the job. You start Tuesday morning at 9am once the new year starts. Your starting salary will be $80,000 a year". Said the human resources hiring manager.

Lexi smiled. "Thank you sir". She shook his hand and left.

Lexi looked at phone and saw two missed calls from her girlfriend Lorelai and three unread text messages from Lorelai as well.

'Babe! Did you get the job?' Sent from Lorelai my baby.

'Good luck on your interview!!!' From my baby Lorelai.

'How'd the interview go?' From my baby Lorelai.

Once Lexi left the company building she called her girlfriend. "Hey babe!" Said Lexi.

"Hey my baby little angel flower!" Said Lorelai.

Lexi giggled. "I got the job!! I got the job at a large cybersecurity company!!"

Lorelai smiled. "Yay!!! Congratulations! Come to Luke's diner to celebrate with me. Pleeeaaaase?" Lorelai begged.

Lexi giggled. "Okay babe. I'm on my way!"

"I'll save you a seat at our favorite table". Said Lorelai.

"Sweet!" Said Lexi. "See you in a bit babe. Love you!!"

"Love you too!!" Said Lorelai.

They both hung up and Lorelai got up from the table to pour herself a cup of coffee.

"So, got a boyfriend?" Jess asked trying to flirt with Rory.

"Girlfriend actually". Said Rory.

Jess gave her a look.

Paris walked into Luke's diner. She saw Jess trying to flirt with her girlfriend Rory.

"You like to read hug? So do I. What are you doing afterwards? Are you- ow!" Paris pulled on Jess's hair. "Get lost wannabe Romeo. I'm her girlfriend". Said Paris.

"Whatever". Said jess. He walked away.

Luke stared to laugh.

Lexi walked into Luke's diner and smiled lovingly at Lorelai. "Babe!"

"Baaaby!!" Said Lorelai. Lexi ran slowly and jumped into Lorelai's arms. Lorelai caught her and planted a bunch of mini kisses on Lexi's lips.

Luke smiled.

Lexi kissed Lorelai over and over and over.

"Luke", said Lexi "I'd like a coffee with Irish creamer and no sugar". She said.

"Coming right up". Said Luke. "Anything else?" He asked.

"Yes", said Lexi "A breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese, sausage with ketchup on a plain bagel". She said.

"I want food too!" Lorelai whined.

"You had a blueberry muffin". Said Luke.

"That was my appetizer! Besides I gave the rest of that delicious muffin for Rory and paris to share". Said Lorelai.

"You're sharing food now? Wow! That world really is ending". Luke said sarcastically.

Lexi laughed.

Lorelai glared at Luke.

"Fine. What do you want to eat?" Luke said giving in.

Paris split the muffin in half for herself and Rory to eat. They both started to drink coffee too. "Babe I have good news". Rory said to Paris.

"Good news eh? Tell me my beautiful blue eyed cutie".

Rory tried not to laugh. "Softie".

Paris glared at her girlfriend but started to smile instead.

"I'm graduating from Yale". Said Rory. "I passed all my final exams too. Actually I just saw my grades. All A's. Try to beat that Geller!" Rory said. She lovingly teased Paris.

"Babe that's amazing!" Said Paris. "Congratulations Gilmore". She said. She held Rory's hands with her own hands.

"You're quite Ms. Affectionate babe". Rory teased Paris.

"Oh, do you want me to stop being affectionate?" Paris teased Rory.

"Never". Rory winked at her girlfriend.

Luke went to cook the food. To his left his Lexi's breakfast sandwich and to his right is Lorelai's brunch. He walked the food to there table.

"Alright. Breakfast sandwich for you Lexi. And pancakes with scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon for you Lorelai". He said.

"Thank you Luke". Said Lexi.

"Thanks Luke". Said Lorelai.

"No problem". Said Luke. "Enjoy".

He walked away and went to make himself some coffee as well.

"I'll be back ". Roru said to Paris. She gave Paris a peck on the lips. She walked over to where her mom and her girlfriend are sitting.

"Mom! Mom!" Said Rory.

"What is it sweets? Are you okay?" Lorelai asked.

"Mom, mom I'm graduating from Yale!!!" Rory yelled happily.

"Oh sweets you are? Congratulations!!!" Said Lorelai.

"That's amazing Rory! Congratulations!" Said Lexi.

"Thank you!" Said rory. "Graduated with all A's majoring in journalism". Rory said proudly. She smiled.

Paris smiled too at Rory.

Rory ran to where Luke was and said "Luke, Luke, Luke!"

"Hey Rory. What's going on?" Luke asked.

"I'm graduating from Yale!!" Rory said happily.

"You are? Wow Rory that's amazing!!!" Said Luke. "I am so proud of you". He said.

Out of all the time Rory's biological father Christopher showed up and left he never really told his own daughter he's so proud of her. So when Luke said that Rory can see he meant it.

"Aw Luke. Thank you. And thank you for everything you do". Said Rory.

Luke walked around the counter and gave Rory a hug. "Of course". He said. She hugged him too and went to give Paris many hugs.

And Rory couldn't wait to tell her best friend Lane and her grandparents that she is graduating.

HEY do you maybe have like an oc page or could you tell me something about all your ocs because i'm Interested and you have my full attention :eyes:

AHSJDKGLHL that's so sweet i'm nfjghl???? i don't have an oc page bc i'm the embodiment of an old man being given an iphone after 50 years of using a rotary phone but !!! i can yell abt them a bit aaa thank you for asking abt them 🥺🥺💚

i put everything under the cut bc dear god i have a lot to say abt my kids and i'm not gonna make everyone scroll through that HHHHHH haw 🤠🤠

elliot fletcher

- he's my deputy in fc5!! he's from waverly in iowa and he's just...very tired nfjfkhl give my poor man a break

- everytime his radio crackles he ages 10 years and if it's john talking add another 10 years

- he keeps the three heralds alive but he doesn't care abt joseph <3

- gets in trouble bc he's impulsive af nfjghl when jacob is close to the cage?? ram his face in the bars. when john leans like rlly close in the confession scene?? headbutt 😌🙏🏼

- the only people who know abt his past are earl, grace, faith and john, the rest just kinda speculate and elliot lets them believe what they want bc not only does he rlly not want ppl to know the actual truth, it's also very funny to listen to the stuff they can come up with

- speaking of faith he often seeks her for advice and sometimes they get high together and he gets teary eyed bc she's just... very nice to him and when all you see everyday is violence it's overwhelming to be shown a little bit of kindness 🥲🙏🏼

- he's in love with john but also he'd kick him across the county if he could but also he'd give his life for him

- after the bombs and all he unlocks his final form and becomes A Husband™, complete with a beard, a scarf and bad jokes that make john want to officially marry him so he can divorce his ass

- fun fact i came up with the name elliot fletcher bc i thought it sounded neat but recently i found out there's a trans actor called elliot fletcher too??? like what were the odds ngl that's so cool

carter quill

- this is my character in the marvel dnd game my brother is dming!!

- his parents are peter quill and kitty pryde and he inherited his mom's powers (so he can become immaterial and stuff uwu) and his dad's tiny pebble brain~

- he grew up on a ship with the guardians so his family is just... a bunch of uncles, one of which is a tree

- he's part of an initiative called the peacekeepers with isaaq cage (luke cage's and jessica jones' son), finneas "zorn" reeves (brock rumlow's and sinthea shmidt's son), lu "highway star" khan (the mandarin's son), alexis "hex" pythagoras (doctor strange's protégé) and ev-lin (ronan the destroyer's daughter who also happens to be carter's bully when they were 11 HHHHHH)

- everyone agrees that carter is just... a puppy. a little labrador. so overexcited. head empty. he doesn't know what's going on but he's having fun with his friends and that's what matters <3

- he died once and went to hell for like 66 years bc he held a bomb while it was exploding but he got better and he doesn't remember most of his time in hell but also he's a lil traumatised

- he wears cute skirts sometimes and also froggie themed clothes 🥰🥰 he's terrible at applying nail polish and it ends up smudged most of the time bc he can't sit still for more than two minutes without going insane but he still likes it

- he has a pet bird called ink!! he thought it was a nice name bc his last name is quill so u know,,, ink,,, quill,,,, he inherited his dad's terrible humor also

- he's fruity and has a big fat crush on one of his teammates 😳😳👉🏼👈🏼

- he strictly refuses to kill, so he uses stunt energy guns and a three section staff to fight!! he accidentally killed someone once and threw up

- he knows asl and is fluent in it!! he's also very bad at reading measurements when cooking (and reading in general) so he relies on their proto-ai, dadji, to help him cook and he listens to audiobooks a lot!!

- idk what else to say abt him except like two games ago he was in the hospital bc lu got hurt and he wanted to get him muffins from a coffee shop across the streets but he panicked when faced with the selection so he bought one of each and came back to the hospital room with like,,,, twenty muffins

- i found this pic of his face claim and it honestly just radiates his vibe so here have it

thorgran galvish

- he's my dwarf enchanter from another homebrew dnd game!! in this universe (and maybe others idk shit abt actual dnd HHHH forgive me) enchanter dwarves are lowkey enslaved bc of their rare link with magic

- thorgran blew up a wall and ran away to the surface so now he's a fugitive and he's constantly on the run uwu trust issues ensue

- he loves the sky so much?? especially at night?? he knows abt constellations, but he thinks they're just whatever you see in the stars and doesn't know there are like,,, actual constellations so he sits on the roof of a tall building sometimes and finds his own constellations

- he also tries to draw them but he rlly sucks at it aslkdsgl that doesn't stop him from filling his journal with little stars and drawings!!

- during my very first game with him he found his rival, who turned out to be a 16 years old teenager?? millennial/gen z rivalry

- agh i don't have much abt him yet bc i've only just started to play him but he's my beefiest boy and also a dilf 🥰🥰

theadric "elder" montajay

- yet another character from the same universe as thorgran, but this time it's a funky little halfling bard

- his instrument is the violin!! he tried every other instrument and his mom was very supportive despite how bad he was at all of them. his community was raided and his father died, so he inherited his violin and that turned out to be the only instrument he could play

- took his love of the economy to the next level when he decided to fuck every gang leader he could find to control their operations and ruin their organizations so the money they hoarded could be put back in circulation

- accidentally fell in love with a half-orc gang leader and was abt to tell him the truth abt what he was doing but was exposed by the first person he'd cheated so he had to run without explaining himself to his lover smh ://

- "i don't wanna fall in the slutty bard cliché," i say before immediately giving elder the tightest leather pants and opening his shirt to show his majestic chest hair.

- surprisingly good with kids?? anyone younger than him who looks sad becomes His Child and he turns into a lil mama, tasting the food of an inn first to assure it's not poisoned, giving hugs, soft shit like that ngl he's just a mom 😔😔

- we abandoned the game he was in but we left off when he'd just escaped a dwarven prison with his new child and others owo anyway slutty bard with chest hair?? that's just the witcher's jaskier

scylla

- my gay pirate lady!! i don't have much abt her either bc AAA BRAINROT but !!! i still love her very much

- she's a hybrid between a human and a psaarinch (fish folks in our homebrew universe uwu) and she looks very human except she has like shark abilities?? she can smell blood, taste with her skin, breathe underwater for like two hours or smth, sharper teeth,,

- she started off as a privateer but like what was the kingdom gonna do?? track her down to make sure everything she did was legal?? nah man she got that sweet fleet and became a pirate

- she beats men up in inns and gives their wives a good time <3

- she's very close to her crew and they're kinda just a big family

- she fights with those s-shaped staffs?? but they're actually blades ngfhl she's very agile and looks like she's dancing when she's actually fighting

- fun fact she's my second shark oc the first one was called maito and she was a yellow lantern in a dc game we did (the main difference between them is that maito loved men while scylla is very much a lesbian 😌🙏🏼)

i have like so many more of them but that's already such a long post and i don't wanna do too much NGL if u wanna know more hmu i'll yell some more 😎😎🙏🏼🙏🏼

To Run Away From You

Hi everybody. I was reading @sabrinachill ‘s EXCELLENT new fic last night, and it inspired me to finally right down the little fic idea that’s been in the back of my head for months now. This is Outsider POV, and AU about Alex leaving Roswell, but having a hard time actually moving on.

Here it is on AO3, if you prefer.

Warnings for mention of an OC’s past, controlling relationship. Implied sexual content. Brief mention of Jesse Manes.

***

“Dude. What the fuck?” Luke whips around to look at Angela. “You said that the guy you met was ‘kind of cute.’” She glances at the bar, where Alex is currently ordering them another round. “That,” she says pointedly, “is not ‘kind of cute,’ that’s fucking hot.” Luke sighs. “Believe me, I know.” Angela’s frowning, just sipping the melted dregs of her margarita and looking thoughtfully at Alex. “What?” “Nothing.” “No,” Luke says quickly. “That face is not nothing. What are you thinking, seriously?” Angela hesitates a beat too long. “Angela,” Luke says, a little sharply. “I want to know. After everything with Rick...” Angela blows out a breath. “No, no, you’re right. It’s just... the way you described him, with the whole off-the-grid cabin in the woods and the mysterious past and job and the injury and everything... like, this just isn’t what I pictured.” “He’s out of my league. Just say it. Like, you’re wondering what’s wrong with him.” “No! Oh my god, Luke, no.” Luke scoffs a little, sips his beer. “Cause that’s what I’ve been wondering for the past three months.”

*** They’d met in a bar, because of course they did. Luke isn’t even a big drinker, but that’s where he’d met his last three boyfriends. Not, like, the same bar, he’s not that bad. And the night he met Alex, at least, he’d just been there for the live music. He’d come to find out that’s what had reeled Alex in, too. He’d been in total disbelief when they’d gone back to his place, after. He’d been taking a break from all the hook-up apps and really really had just been trying to listen to some live music, and suddenly this gorgeous guy was unbuckling his pants, reaching down, then... Pausing. Fuck. “I have to tell you something.” He knew it was too good to be true. “Um, before this goes any further, you should probably know...” Shit. He has a husband. A criminal record. “I’m missing part of my right leg. I wear a prosthetic.” Luke couldn’t help the relieved little laugh that escaped him. “Shit, man, that’s fine.” He’d grimaced, briefly. “I mean, it doesn’t change anything on my end, okay?” he’d said, gesturing to the evidence. The guy, Alex, seemed to relax a little at that. “Right, then.” *** “I don’t usually do shit like this,” Alex had said, after. His breath had sounded almost normal again. “Mmm,” Luke had said, noncommittal, because he did usually do shit like this. He’d glanced at the clock, frowned. “Damn. At this point, you should just stay.” Alex had frozen. “I mean, you don’t have to,” Luke backtracked. “But the days are so long now, and the sun will be up soon enough, and didn’t you say you live a ways out?” He could tell Alex was considering it. “We can go to a diner or something in the morning, grab a bite?” Alex had looked at him for a long minute. “I’m trying to do some things differently,” he’d said, carefully. And in that moment he’d looked almost... shy. “So, yeah,” he’d finally said. “I’ll stay.” *** His friends hadn’t believed him. “I think he’s fake.” “Who?” Erika had scoffed. “This Alex guy you’ve been telling us about. The hermit.” Luke had rolled his eyes. “He’s not a hermit, he’s just...” His voice trailed off as Erika stared at him dubiously. He’d shrugged. “Okay he’s kind of a hermit.” “Thank you!” Telling Alex about the exchange... that’s how they’d ended up out with Angela tonight. Because Luke had tried to pass it off as a joke, like it didn’t bother him. “I mean, look at you,” he’d said, gesturing at Alex. “I get it if you don’t want to be seen out in public with me.” The effect was immediate. Alex’s face had hardened. He’d swallowed, once, and met Luke’s eyes with a ferocity Luke wasn’t anticipating. “Plan something,” he’d said. “Tell me when and where, and I’ll be there.” His next words were so soft that Luke could barely hear them. “I’m not running away. I’m not.” *** The sex is... well. It’s good. It’s very good. In retrospect, maybe that’s why Luke never questioned too much, never really pushed for, for more from Alex. He knows a few things. Alex is new to Austin. From somewhere out west. Ex-military. Something pretty shitty in his past that he doesn’t like to talk about. Maybe a lot of shitty somethings, given Alex’s general reticence. God, the sex, though. “Like it’s weird, right?” he’s telling James over brunch. “He just, like, spends all his time holed up in his little cabin, working on shit that he can’t tell me about.” He drags a small piece of English muffin through the hollandaise sauce, chews it thoughtfully. “He’s the hottest guy I’ve ever been with.” James glares at him. “God, I’m sorry,” Luke says, genuinely regretful. “I always forget that we actually...” James raises an eyebrow, then grins. “I’m just messing with you, man. I don’t care. It was one time, and we were both drunk.” “You’re very hot, James,” Luke says earnestly, by way of an apology. James shrugs, smiles. “I know.” At that, Luke pulls out his phone. Brings up one of the few pictures he has of Alex, a casual snap from a few weeks ago. Silently, he slides the phone over to James. “Well, damn,” he says, looking it over for a long moment before sliding it back to Luke. “I know.” “I mean, you’re no slouch but...” Luke blows out a breath. “Yeah.” He shakes his head a little. “And, like, it would be one thing if that was all this was, right? If he was just some, like, pretty boy gym rat. But he’s actually nice. Smart. Kinda tough, too, in a way, which I like. Like, he was in the military and shit, still does...” “What, what does he do?” Luke sighs. “That’s the thing, I don’t know exactly what he does. Something with computers, and security, maybe? He doesn’t really talk about it, and I don’t really push.” James is quiet. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you like this. “Yeah.” He gulps the last of his Bloody Mary. “I... I think I might really like him.” *** He’s at Alex’s cabin one night, far outside Austin. They’d gone out in the city - a rare thing. Does Luke wish it happened more often? Yes, of course. But there’s something about Alex that makes him want to follow his lead, give him space. “I know,” Alex is saying softly as he runs his hand up Luke’s hip, “that I’m not always the easiest. Like, I’m never going to be the guy in the middle of everything - going to shows, to brunch. I... with the work I do and my,” he falters, swallows hard, “my past, I need this distance. Privacy.” His eyes are wide as he looks at Luke. Luke just leans in, kisses him, and Alex kisses back. *** It continues like this for almost a year. They talk, and text, video chat during the week. Weekends, Luke either goes out to the cabin, or Alex comes into town. Some weekends Alex is gone, though, on “business.” He’s always cagey about where he goes, what he does. Once, he’d come back with a bandaged wrist. Luke wishes he’d trust him enough to tell him the truth. But after everything with Rick - Rick, his ex, an older banker who’d tried to tell him what to wear, what to eat, how often to work out... yeah, after Rick, a little space is not something Luke’s going to complain about. And besides, he’s pretty sure Alex could kick Rick’s ass if it ever came down to it.

***

He teases Alex all the fucking time about how off the grid he is, how out of touch with pop culture. Alex quirks an eyebrow. “Don’t come at me about pop culture. Back in school, I...” He trails off, notices that Luke is watching him with rapt attention. “What?” he asks, a little uncomfortable. “It’s just, you never really talk about growing up, or your past.” Luke shrugs. “I... I just want to learn more about you.” So Alex tells him - not a lot, but a few things. He’s from a small town in New Mexico. Had a mean dad. Used to have a septum ring. Liked Panic! Complicated feelings about the military. After, Alex looks thoughtful. “That’s the most I’ve told anyone in years.” “Thanks for telling me.”

***

They’re eating really good enchiladas at a new place downtown. James had told Luke about it. “Take your man there. Impress him. Have a real conversation about the two of you.” It’s working, Luke thinks. Alex looks more relaxed than usual. “God, these are good,” Alex is saying, big smile on his face. “Tastes like home.” “Yeah?” Luke asks, pleased. “Yeah,” Alex says. Leans back in his chair a little. Considers Luke. “Look, I’m, I’m coming to the end of a work project. And once that happens, I think... I think I want to give this a real try, you know?” Luke frowns a little. “A, a real try?” he asks, confused. “Yeah,” Alex says carefully. “Boyfriends?” Luke is frowning now. “Is that not... is that not what we’ve been?” Alex swallows. “I... I didn’t know. With you working downtown and me so far out, I just, just didn’t know if, if that’s what this was to you.” Luke is staring at him, a little uncomprehending. “What else would it be?” Alex shrugs, doesn’t say anything. “It’s been over a year, Alex.” The frown deepens. “All this time, what, do you think I’ve been seeing you on the weekends, and banging other dudes during the week?” Alex shrugs. “Wouldn’t... wouldn’t blame you if you did.” “Well I didn’t.” Luke’s frustrated now - at Alex, for assuming this, and at himself, for never bringing this up before. “Is... is that what you were doing?” Alex’s eyes widen. “No!” He scoffs. “You know where I live, what I do.” “I know where you live, but I have no clue what you really do.” Luke bites his lip. Debates what he’s about to say, says it anyway. “Who’s Michael?” He knows he’s hit a nerve by the way Alex’s face immediately pales. “He texts you. All hours of the night.” Alex looks at him coldly. “You’ve looked at my phone?” he asks in a measured tone. “The lock screen, yeah,” Luke says. “You’ve got two modes at night, man. You’re either tossing and turning or you’re out cold. There’ve been nights where I’ve heard you get three, four messages in a row. Sometimes more. They’re almost always from him. Or some guy named Kyle.” Alex laughs a bit at that one. The laugh dies quickly though, and he’s left staring at Luke. “Kyle’s a friend. He’s helping me with a side project. And Michael’s a...” He trails off, takes a small sip of his tequila. Sighs. “Michael’s damn complicated. I guess he’s an ex?” He shakes his head. “We, we were on and off for a long time but never really, like, dated. It’s over. It’s been over since before I moved out here.” “He know that?” Alex scoffs. “Oh yeah.” They’re silent for a while. “Look, Alex, I really like you. In, in my mind we’ve been together for a while, and I’m sorry now that I never actually, like, talked about that with you. I’m, I’m not used to, like, taking the lead on stuff like that. In a relationship.” He looks down. “I’ve told you. About Rick. And I’ve always liked, with you, that you don’t try to control me. Like, at all.” He looks up. “But there’s a difference between not trying to control someone and not giving a shit. So,” he eyes Alex, “do you give a shit?” Alex sighs, very deeply. “Of course I do.” He’s quiet for a while. “I’m older than you,” he finally says. It’s not what Luke expects. “And you, your parents seem nice. Supportive.” Luke nods. “Wasn’t like that for me. My dad... hated me. Hated this part of me specifically,” Alex says, gesturing between the two of them. “And when I joined the Air Force, it was still DADT.” Luke looks at him blankly. “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” “Oh okay,” Luke says. “I’ve heard of that.” “Yeah. Made it illegal for me to be with another guy. Publicly, or even just if anyone found out.” He swallows. “I’ve known Michael since high school. All that stuff - my dad, the military, it played a big part. There were other things, later. But that’s where it started.” “You guys still, like, friendly?” Alex’s lip twitches. “It’s weird, with Michael.” He looks at Luke. “In the interest of being honest, he’s kind of wrapped up in some of the work I’m doing. Like, I’ve seen him a few times since I’ve lived here, since you and I have been involved. Nothing’s happened,” he’s quick to add, “but he’s one of those people that, if he needed me, I, I’d have to help him out. I’d want to help him out,” he amends. “He, he’s more family than the people I’m actually related to, if that makes sense.” Luke can feel his own heart thumping in his chest. “It... it sounds like you really care about him.” Alex purses his lips. “I do.” Luke frowns. “Why did it end?” “He wanted to be good for somebody,” Alex says. “And it wasn’t me.” *** They’re closer, after that. Alex starts to talk a little more about his past, seems a little more secure in the relationship. It’s his second real one, it turns out. Luke just gapes at him when he says that. “Why?” he sputters. Alex scoffs. “The homophobic dad, the small town, the military... take your pick. And Michael was always...” He trails off. “Michael had a lot of secrets. He had a tough life, tough background. We were never really open about what we had. I never felt like we could be, really. Not in a safe way.” He shakes his head. “Anyway, there was a guy. Also from my hometown. That was right before I moved here. We dated for a little while. It was nice. He was nice.” Alex shrugs. “It, it was good for me. It’s the first time I was ever really out with a guy in public. Like for a date, not just a…” He smiles a little. “Yeah. Anyway, it helped me take a chance with you, when I saw you in that bar.” “Then I owe him one,” Luke says, leaning in for a kiss.

***

Then it happens. “Pick up your goddamn phone,” Luke is muttering through gritted teeth. He’s sent about twenty texts already, and he’s worried. About Alex, yeah, but also about the whole goddamn world. And himself. And Alex, well. Alex is ex-military. Kind of a prepper, maybe? Like, a little paranoid, but that’s good, in a situation like this. If Alex even knows what’s going on. Cause Luke can just imagine him, plugging away at his computer, oblivious to the world and the big fucking bombshell that’s just dropped. Voicemail. Fuck. Luke hangs up without leaving a message, reconsiders, calls again. Breathes impatiently through all the rings, hears the tone, and starts talking. “Alex? Alex, I don’t know where you are or what you’re doing, or if you’ve seen the news, but...” he falters. “God, if you haven’t already heard, this is going to sound absolutely insane, but there, there are aliens. Fucking aliens, and they’re like, broadcasting messages, something about an ‘Alighting,’ and they’re like, looking for other aliens, and they’re showing pictures and they look just like the rest of us, man, and I’m kind of freaking out, and I thought your cabin, with you, might be better than my apartment downtown, so if you get this, just, just please - “ Another tone cuts him off, and he hits the steering wheel in frustration. “God damn it!” he shouts. He tries to make himself breathe, be safe. Cause the last thing he fucking needs is a car wreck in the middle of a fucking alien invasion. The cabin’s in view... but Alex isn’t there.

His car is gone, and the door is ajar.

Alex... Alex’s door is never unlocked. Luke parks, opens his door. Approaches the cabin. There’s a sinking feeling in his chest as he sees the single piece of paper taped to the door. Luke, it reads. I’m sorry.

1-5 for Henry & Elliot?

Elliot

1. What’s your oc’s most irrational fear? Is there a specific reason this fear came about?

He’s afraid of walking on ice and falling into a Lake. He saw someone on tv fall on the ice and the idea of frozen lakes just...out there hidden under ice really freaked him out ( he was small at the time) and the fear sorta stayed.

2. Is your oc picky about food? What kinds of foods do they like and dislike? What do they consider a comfort or “safe” food?

There are some food he doesn’t like the texture of, though due to the post-Gilmore economy he and Rory were raised in he couldn’t afford to be picky. After Lorelai is doing better financially he does get to be more picky though. He hates mushrooms and strong overwhelming flavors ( which range from cinnamon to marinara sauce)

Safe foods: rice, pasta, bland foods.

Comfort foods: Coffee with peppermint candy canes is a big comfort drink. Sookie’s chicken dumpling soup, and Lorelai’s tater tots with hot dogs ( nothing special she just defrosts and heats up the hot dogs but they always taste special to him and she made them when he was a babie) are also comfort foods. Gelato from a place near Yale becomes one. Luke’s home baked muffins.

3. What does your oc’s voice sound like? (Or, if you have one, what’s their voiceclaim?) Can they sing, whistle, or roll their rs? Do they have any speech impediments or notable dialects/accents?

He sounds like Tom Holland in Spiderman Far From Home. He can sing okay-ish but isn’t like trained to do so.

4. Is your oc good at keeping secrets?

Yup. El will keep his friends secrets, though if he thinks they’re hurting them he might try to get them to tell people. He doesn’t like keeping things from Rory as he tells her pretty much everything but he can be convinced to.

5. What kind of clothes is your oc most comfortable wearing?

Sweaters, t shirts, cozy causal wear. He dislikes suits and dress shirts. ( and shirts with like....collars.) He has sensory issues with tight clothes/certain fabrics.

Henry

1. What’s your oc’s most irrational fear? Is there a specific reason this fear came about?

He’s afraid of ladders from almost falling off a fire escape once in New York.

He’s afraid of people he doesn’t know because of Liz cycling through boyfriends and them sometimes being untrustworthy if not outright abusive. It’s left him with a general fear of unknown places/strangers.

2. Is your oc picky about food? What kinds of foods do they like and dislike? What do they consider a comfort or “safe” food?

Not really. He grew up knowing food was food and there were times when Liz would lose housing or rely on food pantries so he learned to eat pretty much whatever was in front of him.

His comfort food are empanadas from a bodega he and Jess would pass by sometimes in New York and hot chocolate. Luke’s flapjacks post s5.

Canned soups. cereals, and ramen packages are “safe foods” since he knows how to make them and that they last long.

3. What does your oc’s voice sound like? (Or, if you have one, what’s their voiceclaim?) Can they sing, whistle, or roll their rs? Do they have any speech impediments or notable dialects/accents?

It sounds like his actor’s but is more quiet/subdued. He can’t whistle. No speech impediments.

4. Is your oc good at keeping secrets?

Lying makes him nervous because of Liz. But he knows how to keep secrets because of Liz. So yeah he’s good at it but he’s not a fan of them? He’ll keep your secrets tho both because he understands they’re important and he’s used to keeping secrets from adults.

5. What kind of clothes is your oc most comfortable wearing?

He’s never had new clothes ( most if not all his clothes are hand me downs and a bit too big for him) so he becomes super excited when he’s able to pick his own clothes.

He’s most comfortable in t-shirts and shorts unless it’s winter. ( the places he, Jess, and Liz lived sometimes didn’t have air conditioning in the summer.)

Sorry to keep ranting about this, but here's another page in the Jedi Council's book of hypocrisy: In Legends, it's said that Ki Adi Mundi was pretty powerful even by Jedi standards and had problems controlling said power when he was a kid. What's more is that they accepted him even though he was about 4 years too old to start his training. So tell me why the Council welcomes Mundi with open arms into the order while completely alienating Anakin for this same reason? (1/2)

Like just take away the whole “Anakin’s emotions put him over to the Dark Side” BS and you’ll see that the other two arguments against Anakin are that he’s A: too old, and B: too powerful. (2/2)

Rant away, my friend. Look at me, I really can’t judge anyone for ranting about SW lol

The short answer is that many EU writers do this with their favs/OCs. They all have a background somehow similar to Anakin’s. They arrive at the Temple older than most, they remember their families, they have been traumatized by poverty and/slavery, they are the best fighters, the most powerful Jedi, etc. Whether it was intentional or not, this ended up making the Jedi Order look incredibly biased against Anakin. Judging by the Council’s introduction in TPM and how they treated Anakin, I’m inclined to believe it was, at least partially, done on purpose.

I mean, we could dismiss it as inconsistent writing, but the fact this theme resurfaces again and again all over the EU makes it hard to brush the whole thing off as a mistake. Especially when the same character is later described as this:

Like Anakin, I was well past infancy when I began my training at the Jedi Temple. There was much concern about whether I was too old to learn the ways of the Force, that my Cerean childhood might cloud my judgments, but … I am not certain of how to express myself. My mind tells me I should feel empathy for Anakin, but my instinct tells me something else. [Ki-Adi-Mundi in Ryder’s Windham’s Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force]

What disturbs me most of all is Anakin Skywalker himself. It is not in my nature to make assumptions about anyone based on appearance, and yet I find it almost alarming that the boy looks so entirely unremarkable. If I didn’t know better, I would have dismissed him as a harmless raga-muffin. [Ki-Adi-Mundi in Ryder’s Windham’s Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force]

This is tells me it’s more than an inconsistency, it’s a deliberate attempt to show the Council’s shortsightedness that would later doom them all. They refused Anakin after everything they went through because as the years went by they lost track of what was really important. They became so attached to their code and their rules they were blinded by the fact a 9 years old child in desperate need of help was standing in front at them. It also helps the audience understand why Luke & Leia succeeded where Anakin, Yoda and Obi-wan failed. Your upbringing matter. How you are raised, how you are treated and what you are taught matters. A 900 years old man telling a bunch of adults to beware of a child doomed the galaxy, a 20 years old man who refused to give up on his father saved it. which, of course, take us back to the indoctrination issue. When you are raised to believe in the infallible wisdom of your master obey it without question, your experiences won’t matter as much. Mundi had similar exercise but after a lifetime being told Yoda knew better, of course his initial reaction to Anakin would mimic Yoda’s.

So, in the end, it’s not that the Jedi Council were bad people, they were simply raised to ignore their own experiences in favor of Yoda’s. I’m sure that with a different upbringing they would’ve been accepting of Anakin and even relate to his difficulties.
