GILMORE GIRLS 5.04, Tippecanoe and Taylor, Too

[chair002]

wanted to make a unique design for S5!planet and this is what i came up with

the fur coat is supposed to be a sign of wealth and opulence he had at the start of the season so maybe after he dies to the void and becomes broke he gets rid of it? underneath is a cosmos colored vest and tie and a white shirt with bishop sleeves. pretty formal looking, as i think most of lala legion's clothes would be. i didn't think much about the pants or the shoes but i imagine they would also be some sort of formalwear, maybe the shoes would be brogues and the pants would have a fancy belt. i know nothing about fashion btw

We’re not talking about the comedic potential of Viren’s panicked 

enough because like buddy, do you think he enjoys your company that much that he’d willingly choose to be stuck with you forever?

they have vecna in his original form as henry talking to holly. i might actually eat a hole in my wall. season 5 is going to be so fucking good.

because this means theories about karen and the creels being related is more of an outcome and through that discovery, mike and el find out they’re related. AND if holly is in danger, then it’s the perfect trap to get will back in the hands of the mindflayer and vecna because you know will is going to be searching through hell and back for holly since that’s mike’s sister and that’s the kind of person he is. AND that also means byler comfort scenes and byler in the upside down scenes 🤭

the difference between sam and dean and how they think of cas is insane to me. like even in 5x01 when they find out that cas had been killed by raphael. and dean says that he was stupid to have gotten killed. and sam says. “stupid? he was just trying to help”

In the last 6 months of Wilson’s life, there wasn’t much that he wanted to do. There wasn’t a long bucket list of things like: ride a hot air balloon, see the northern lights, sleep with a playboy bunny that he presented to House as if House could grant all his dying wishes, though House had been willing to try. Mostly, days were spent riding their bikes, eating greasy food wherever, getting lost and checking out the few sites they pass along the way. A couple of times someone would hand them a flier to some gig at a rundown bar and they’d laugh in a little corner as a poor soul butchered another pop song that they were both just a little too old to know or appreciate. A couple of times one of them would get too drunk and sloppy and get thrown out or cut off or start a fight and the other would stay sober, would pacify a bartender or the other angry drunk in the equation, one would steer them back to the hotel and the other would hold on for the ride. Most nights ended with the two of them in twin beds- not too close but close enough to take care of each other. Near the end it was just one bed- big enough for space if space was wanted, but space was never wanted when the nights were too cold even in the summer.

But when Wilson dies and House promises not to follow, he remembers all the little things that Wilson had wanted to do when they were younger, when they had time- when the days were slow and the end was nowhere near the horizon. He’d stored them away somehow in a tiny drawer behind shelves of books on all kinds of diseases.

He brings each page of the list out of that drawer one day at a time- lives each day with the ghost of a smiling Wilson looming just to his right.

if we're both going crazy, then we'll go crazy together, right?

If we get a jancy or byler rain kiss next season i am fully expecting to see edits of them to The Way I Loved You

something magical about fics written while a story is still in progress. i love u fics written during hiatuses. fix-it fics set after a season finale before the next one is announced. codas for episodes right after they air. fics with the knowledge of one book but none of the future ones that got released. fics continuing the story where it left off that either got it so wrong or surprisingly close to what happens in canon when it starts up again. mwah.

I never expected this to be the season that really highlighted Nadja and Guillermo's friendship but I'm so happy it was. Them physically protecting each other was amazing, but in the last few episodes of the season she really goes out of her way to defend him from both the Baron and Nandor even though she disagrees with his choice. That scene of them in the motel together is short, but it says so much. She gives him the lecture about protecting his sire not for Derek's sake but because she's worried about Guillermo and she's trying to give him some of the important vampiric lessons that he's missed out on because his turning was abnormal. I wish we had gotten to see the rest of their conversation play out before she left because it seemed like she was empathizing with him about how complicated relationships can be once you turn into a vampire and learning to accept those consequences. She takes on an almost big-sister-like role with Guillermo where she acts annoyed but also secretly cares very deeply and is trying to help him learn from her own experiences.

The entire household has grown closer to Guillermo this season, but for me his and Nadja's relationship is special because I feel like she's the one who has held him at arms length for the longest. Last season, their dynamic changed because he became the nightclub's accountant, but in situations where she helped him, she always fell back on the excuse that it was in her own self-interest. She could have abandoned Guillermo at urgent care, told Nandor his secret in order to minimize the fallout for herself, not gone to visit Guillermo or advocate for him to Nandor, etc., but now she puts herself in those risky situations because she cares.

Woven through this season there are bits and pieces about her early life and how her turning ended up being kind of a traumatic experience. She mentioned last season that she watched most of her family die (and at another point that she was the only one of her siblings to survive). In "Local News" and "Hybrid Creatures" she talks about being forced to leave Antipaxos and the only place she ever really felt at home. The fact that she was so desperate to escape when they thought they were exposed on the news, even if that meant going without the others, speaks to her being afraid of leaving herself vulnerable. Unlike Laszlo, she also doesn't seem to have many connections outside of her housemates until she begins visiting with the Antipaxos family. I think all that amounts to her being wary of trusting people or letting in others outside her relatively small circle because she's experienced the danger of getting too attached. It's taken her over a DECADE to warm up to Guillermo, but as she becomes comfortable reconnecting with her culture and her human past with the Antipaxons, it makes sense that she would start to let her guard down with him as well. I think Laszlo's comment in the finale about vampires having a difficult time expressing their emotions externally ties in well with this. Nadja is a very expressive person, but when it comes to displaying her emotional closeness with others, it comes across a lot more subtlely. Nadja's arc didn't have the clearest throughline this season, and the hex plot itself didn't really spur much development from her, but I feel like it ultimately led to moments that demonstrate how she forms relationships and the ways in which that's informed by her past.

Ngl, I really think that these bylers that are crying 24/7 about "purity culture" or whatever, are playing dumb when they start with their "but Nancy and Steve were 16 and 17 in that scene of s1!!!1" like... We got introduced to these characters at that age and the people playing them were already adults. So yeah, sorry but I think it's easy to see why most viewers would be uncomfortable with a more sexual scene of Mike and Will and it's not automatically homophobia, I think that would be the case with any of the kids since we got introduced to these characters when they were 12 and the actors were babies as well. We literally saw those kids grow. And I'm not saying byler should only get to peck or hold hands, It'd be cool if they have their epic kiss or whatever, but Will hasn't even had his first kiss yet and some of these people are already talking about sex scenes, like... Be for real 😭

funny you should say that...because i've used the nancy was 15-16 in season one argument (last tag) before while also saying that i understand why people find the sex part of their sexualities uncomfortable to discuss. and i wanna reiterate that, again, i totally understand that people feel like they've seen them grow up etc etc and that they still think of the actors themselves as children even thought they're not anymore.

i don't think it's all homophobia because like you said, people would probably feel the same about lucas and max and discussions of sex (i don't know if anyone is discussing that because there's much less discourse to have there and you can't argue that people are homophobic if they disagree with you) but i don't think it would be justified either. the "but we knew the characters when they were little" argument makes me think me of an ancient disney channel/abc show that old people and girl meets world fans who watched it for the first time in the 2010s will know, boy meets world (1993-2000). classic comic of age show, look at these kids. and eric in the back (he's fifteen).

they're eleven at the start of the show and then, what happens in any coming of age story happens, you guessed it...

they grow up. this is them in the later seasons, when the main characters are still in high school i think. they grow up, they talk about sex and about having sex at prom in season five and then they don't have sex right away because they figure it's not the right time yet or something like that, and then they have sex later and get married, the details don't matter. but my point is, who watches a show for five seasons, over years and years and gets upset at the main characters having sex because "this is crazy they used to be children"? isn't that the point of coming of age stories that cover multiple years or that focus on the latter years of adolescence, that they're not children forever and that at one point the characters "come of age" which usually includes their first sexual experiences?

i don't think the having sex part is particularly important in stranger things but also it doesn't have to be for it to be portrayed (see jonathan and nancy), teenagers have sex, it's just the way the world works. i'm not advocating for sex scenes of any kind especially because stranger things isn't a show that features a lot of sex in general, the only "explicit" sex scene being nancy and steve in season one with cuts to barb dying, but i genuinely don't think the duffers would have any qualms about portraying teenage sexuality in general with the party. if they did, they wouldn't have included erica threatening lucas to tell dustin what she found under his bed (it wasn't the communist manifesto) and they wouldn't have had max looking at a shirtless steve for an amount of time that's supposed to make the audience laugh. it's been 7 years. if they do a time jump, the babies will be about 17, played by actors who will all be around 20, the age natalia was when filming season one. the characters are teenagers, babies grow up. it happens to the best of us. i get why people would find it uncomfortable and maybe i would find it uncomfortable too but i wouldn't be scandalized. the duffers had no problem having a child actor portray everything will goes through in seasons one and especially two, i really feel like sex is fine and...not traumatizing or hard to watch compared to every single thing will's gone through lol. and again, i'm not even expecting them to have sex lmao, but i wouldn't cry myself to sleep if they revealed that everyone in the party actually knows what sex is.

last question: do we have any indication that jonathan had talked to more than one other girl (the girl at the halloween party being the one girl i'm counting for him) before he got together with nancy. i'm just asking because of your last sentence, because if we don't he should have slowed down also😭
