[ ɢɪʟᴍᴏʀᴇ ɢɪʀʟꜱ ] ᴅᴀᴛɪɴɢ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ

ᴊᴇꜱꜱ ᴍᴀʀɪᴀɴᴏ — ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ᴄᴀᴛ ʙᴏʏꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ

♠  Jess is the black cat boyfriend no debate

♠  his favourite activities are browsing bookstores in New York to find the most ridiculous books and having movie nights at with home-made pizza

♠  his gifts are usually consist of annotated books and/or CD’s he’s burned for you

♠  so touch starved, like so touch starved, his love language is definitely physical touch

♠  would do just about anything if you just bat your eyelashes at him

ᴘᴀʀɪꜱ ɢᴇʟʟᴇʀ — ᴛʜᴇ ꜰɪᴇʀᴄᴇ ɢɪʀʟꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ

♦  study dates, study dates, study dates

♦  probably mistook your flirting for picking a fight until Rory told her that you were flirting with her or you just straight up told her you wanted to kiss

♦  loves to do things for you just because, carrying your bags, making you coffee/tea when you working, because you deserve to be pampered, her love language is acts of service no doubt in my mind

♦  when it comes to gift giving it’s usually offhanded like, “Yeah I saw it in the store and bought it, no big deal.”

♦  she’s pretty stubborn so getting her to do things is hard but she ends up doing them because it’s you, and she would do anything for even if she complains 70% of the time

ʟᴏɢᴀɴ ʜᴜɴᴛᴢʙᴇʀɢᴇʀ — ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴅᴠᴇɴᴛᴜʀᴏᴜꜱ ʙᴏʏꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ

♣  he takes you to so many places, sometimes it’s places he’s been other times he spotted a new restaurant on his way and he decides to take you there next time the two of you go out.

♣  his favourite thing to do is go shopping for you, particularly enjoys buying you clothes and accessories and then seeing you wear them

♣  Logan’s love language is definitely gif giving, and more often than not the gift are expensive (read: birkin bag.)

♣  whenever he plans dates it’s the out there stuff he thinks you’ll enjoy doing, but he doesn’t mind having dinner at home with a good movie or some music either

♣ he would also do anything for you, even the things you ask him to do halfheartedly or jokingly

ʀᴏʀʏ ɢɪʟᴍᴏʀᴇ — ᴛʜᴇ ᴋɪɴᴅ ɢɪʀʟꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ

♥  her favourite kinds of dates are the calm ones, like browsing bookstores and going to museums

♥  she loves to sit with you on the couch until ungodly hours just talking about random things or having deep conversations, although the ones about the future are her favourites

♥  love language is words of affirmation, mainly because growing up Lorelai thought her how important communication is in all her relationships

♥   Rory doesn’t really like dates in crowded places, she enjoys the occasional concert or outing to a busy place, but low-key dates will always be superior in her opinion

♥ getting her to do something she doesn’t want to is impossible, she’s very stubborn and when she doesn’t want to do something it’s very hard to convince her to do it

i can see you, 𝒈𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒔.

✫ 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬 . . . y/n cromwell was nothing if not a sophisticated, pampered, and ambitious socialite. she had lived in manhattan for about five years with her workaholic mother since her divorce with from her father. in the five years she had lived in the upper-east side, she had conquered the elites and made them her minions. she was living her best life until she heard the worst news she could ever fathom...

tristan dugray was nothing like y/n, in any sense other than maybe the fact they were both rich, spoiled and rather confident - okay, maybe they had more in common than what meets the eye. they hadn't seen each other since she had moved away with her mother five years ago and they were happy that way.

until of course, her mother decided it would be best for y/n to spend the next few months with her father back in connecticut after y/n got in trouble with her friend group. what y/n didn't know until she eventually got to connecticut was that her father was engaged to none other than tristan dugray's mother. how could her year get any worse?

✫ 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 ;; tristan dugray x fem!reader, platonic!paris geller x reader, platonic!rory gilmore x reader

✫ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 ;; not canon gilmore girls timeline (for the most part), rom-com energy, adult humor, asshole!tristan, family issues, the rest is to be determined...

✫ 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 ;; i am rewatching gilmore girls and of course, i've been inspired to write a fanfic because there are not enough tristan fanfics on tumblr. i hope y'all enjoy, this is very self-indulgent lmao. i love tristan sm and i think a rom-com esk fanfic would bring me (and everyone) so much joy. thank you so much for reading! let me know if i should make a taglist for this series.

Rafe x bimbo!reader yes but what about Rafe x scholar!reader who’s literally an academic weapon. And not Rory Gilmore type of academic weapon; Paris Geller type of academic weapon. She has it all decided. She knows where she wants to go. She knows how she’s going to do it. And she is already two steps ahead of her plans. And not only is she book smart, she’s street smart. Rafe doesn't know how he bagged her, but he did and he’s damn proud of that. He’s her biggest supporter, always being so proud of her when she tells him her insane test results. He drops and picks her up from the library, and always awaits her with her favorite pastries. And you best know he is cheering for her the loudest when she gets the title of ‘valedictorian’. It isn’t “oh my god babe you did it!”, but it’s “of course you did it, if not you, then who? I always knew you could do it.” He’s always showing her off to his friends. “Oh my girlfriend? Yeah she’s in town on semester break. Which college you ask? Harvard, where else?” If she’s staying up late at night to study, he’s staying up with her too. “Babe, you need a break?” “Just ten more minutes…” “Alright bub I’m waiting for you yeah? Don’t overwork yourself please.” He always helps her test herself, hiding his face behind her flashcard as she tells him her answer confidently, and then peering at her with the biggest grin as he kisses her cheek. “Yes, that's absolutely correct babe!” And you best know he’s holding her tight when she feels like she can’t do it anymore, and it’s all too tough. “Oh baby don’t cry yeah? You are so strong and so intelligent, you just need a break. And when you’ll get back, you’ll get back stronger. And you’ll do it. There’s no one I have more faith in than you.”

Bonus: if she’s doing a course which has more male students than female, she’ll come back home grinning telling him she scored better than all the guys in her class. “Of course you did! They’re all little dumb boys, but you, you’re my smart, intelligent girl.”

(wrote this mostly to motivate me 🥲 I am not an academic weapon but unfortunately an academic victim) moodboard inspired by this post!

send me any of your drew/rafe/zach thoughts! (sfw only!)

A Quick Statement on Longing...

I got a lovely compliment about Longing on another Paris/Rory story, especially dealing with Louise's relationship with Paris in the past, and I'm definitely thankful for that...and this is a statement that an update will come out soon. I've been dealing with so much during the pandemic and just haven't felt like updating it, even though I have a lot of the latest chapter done, and there's my Lorelai/Paris stories where I do want to write those too.

I do want to touch on something though, as outside the old-style author's notes written back in the FF.net/Yahoo Groups days which have continued on in my template style, when I transferred the story to AO3, I failed to ever account for trigger or content warnings.

I could have never imagined this story would end up in an age where readers would want a heads-up on content, as they're probably dealing with the same things Paris, Louise, and Rory are dealing with through the story; homophobic parents, mental traumas, visible and scarring child abuse, and the gaslighting Dean attempts on not only Rory, but his previous girlfriend, Paris's cousin Beth, along with just the general stresses of realizing who they are and dealing with their peers and authority figures and how they would react to them coming out as gay.

Thus, I sincerely and deeply apologize if my writing, unwarned, caused anyone unwanted anguish and hurt if they clicked on the story and found themselves thrown into, say, the chapter where Paris realizes her mom knows she's with Rory and is bruised and broken from the abuse thrown her way, is recounting the worst abuse with Rory and her therapist, along with Louise being dealt with by Sharon.

I have now added on the appropriate trigger warnings to the story on AO3, and take full responsibility for not doing so before.

My intention with my stories is to write about how I feel about these characters, show how they are outside the bounds of the early 2000s and its network, and hopefully have a reader come out of it thankful to see these characters in a different way than originally presented. The last thing I ever want to do is hurt someone in any way, and if you ever were, know that I would never intend to do so.

For fic research purposes...

What safe words would Lorelai and Paris use as partners, together?

You know...science. 👩🏻‍🔬

[ongaku-ato-kakikomi]

Hi!! I’m not sure if you’re taking requests but if you are could I please get headcanons for dating Paris geller from Gilmore girls and living in stars hollow? (Preferably with they/them pronouns but still wlw).

Thank you sm<3

• Paris isn’t the type to be subtle, so you better be ready for her abrupt bluntness at all hours of the day and night.

• Words pour out of her mouth quicker than she can think them, most of them screamed out in a brutal tone with no care for their possible consequences, and she made more than a few people cry because of it (sometimes on purpose, sometimes not).

• She first met you when she visited Rory in Stars Hollow, the blond typically rumbling an incessant rapid monologue loud enough for the whole town to hear as she followed Rory and Lane around the streets. 

• The three of them were grocery shopping for a girls’ night in at Rory’s house, and Paris had somehow got herself in a passionate debate with Kirk, or rather she was patiently trying not to lose her patience as he rebutted every single one of her sentences.

• To Rory and Lane, you came in almost like an angel with your green apron, an annoyed look on your face after hearing the few customers’ complaints about how loud Kirk and Paris have been, and you kindly asked Kirk if he could help come out at the cash registers.

• He obliged immediately, having a strong sense of work duty, and ignored Paris screaming at him leaving to assert her dominance.

• Before Rory or Lane could thank you, Paris turned a mean glare to you.

• “Couldn’t you see that we were in the middle of a heated debate? I was about to win!”

• You just snorted, knowing that there’s just no way anyone could win a debate of any sort against Kirk; not because he has good arguments, but just because he would not give you the benefit of listening to yours.

• “You’re welcomed,” is all you told her before you went back to your work duties, leaving her absolutely dumbfounded. 

• Needless to say, that pissed her off to no end, and she spent the entire day rumbling a loud complaint about you to her friends.

• “Just who do they think they are? The town’s hero or something? I was perfectly handling Kirk and his stupidness! I didn’t need them to step in! And have you seen their attitude towards me? ‘You’re welcomed’? ‘You’re welcomed’?! They should be thanking me for not turning them into a pile of dust in a single argument!”

• Both Rory and Lane tried their best to live with her frustration; it’s not like Paris was suddenly revealing a new part of her personality, after all.

• Sadly for them, you and Paris managed to meet every single time the blond was visiting the town, whether it’s at Luke’s place or out on the street.

• Every single time, you left Paris in a state of confused rage, her cheeks redder and redder each time she saw you, while you’d simply leave without even an ounce of change on your expression, your smile brighter than the sun.

• Paris’s complaining about you came to the point where she would only have your name pouring out of her mouth, her brain fixated on each one of your encounters as she bothered Rory around Princeton with her obsession with you.

• At first overly annoyed, Rory eventually realized that Paris had another reason for obsessing over you, and she couldn’t help but grinned when she noticed that even the blond hadn’t realized the true reason behind her ramblings.

• “You have a crush on them, don’t you?”

• This was the first time Paris ever became silent, the mere absence of her voice for more than a minute making Rory’s skin crawl.

• “I do not have a crush on them!”

• Rory gave out a sigh when Paris went into yet another loud rambling, this time about how awful of a friend she must be to even think that she could even find you attractive in any sort of way.

• But the Gilmore girl’s words left an imprint in Geller’s mind, and she couldn’t stop thinking about that accusation for the next few days.

• Denying everything at first, she had to admit defeat when she finally realized the reason behind her flushed cheeks, her rapid heartbeat, and her sudden incapacity to crush her adversary (meaning, you) with a single sentence.

• She hated it, but Rory was right; she had a crush on you.

• Suddenly, her annoyed ramblings turned into panic ones, and Rory wondered if things were better before she pointed out the truth to Paris.

• “Liking them is instant death, Rory! You know why? Because they hate me! I pushed them away every time we met; I don’t even know why they keep saying ‘hi’ to me on the streets. And even if they didn’t hate me, there’s just no way they’d like me back! Have you ever seen me date? No! And that’s for two reasons! One, no one ever likes me back. Two, I don’t even know if I have the right abilities to date someone!-”

• These ramblings annoyed Rory to no end, mostly because was pretty sure you liked the blond back; she has known you since you were five, and this behavior of yours was not the one you typically have when you hate someone.

• You were always seeking them out whenever Paris was in town, giving out genuine smiles and asking about their plans; clearly, you were interested in knowing Geller some more, and Rory was pretty sure it wasn’t just to become friends.

• The Gilmore girl took the matters into her own hands, inviting both you and Paris over to her house for a night hang-out.

• You were overly excited, already promising to bring over the snacks and the drinks, whereas Paris felt nauseous to no end due to her internal panic. 

• “I knew you hated me, Rory, but you didn’t have to plan something so cruel.”

• Her attitude rapidly changed over the evening as you got closer, her heartbeat beating faster when you laughed at her few attempts at a joke, and she even managed to put on a few smiles as she listened to you ramble about your work drama.

• Rory couldn’t stop grinning when she saw you exchange numbers, and she and Lane started a bet on who would call the other one to go on a date first.

• Spoiler alert: you did.

• Paris felt overly joyful yet panicky the entire day at school, Rory trying her best to shush her rambles of fear and apprehension for the upcoming night.

• “(Y/N) wouldn’t have asked you out if they didn’t like you. So just breathe, okay?”

• Easier said than done, but Paris tried her best and somehow found herself standing in front of your door hours later, her school uniform ditched for a flower dress she stole from her mom’s closet.

• You took her out for a walk around the lake that evening, a perfect place to talk and learn more about one another.

• She loved the time she spent with you more than she would have admitted, and even though she couldn’t stop herself from rambling loudly about a few annoyances in her life, she noticed how listened to every one of her words with a soft smile, and that enough made her heart warm.

• By the end of the night, she risked grabbing your hand with hers, and she almost felt her heart burst when she felt you squeeze it back; she could barely function the entire walk back to your house, and she wasn’t even sure if she’d be able to drive back to her home after.

• The next few days, she spent them on a cloud, her ramblings now turned into ones full of happiness and a newfound imagination for the future you might have together.

• But only Rory gets to tease her with it; everyone else gets a snappy look and a self-esteem destroying speech.

• She gathers the courage to ask you for a next date, but she swore she forgot she was the one who organized the whole thing when she felt your lips on hers.

• You were the first person to ever make her feel this way, and she was willing to admit she liked you way more than a passionate debate.

Jess Mariano x Reader

You and Jess had a... complicated relationship.

You first met when he moved to your hometown, Stars Hallow, a few years ago. But, then Luke kicked him out. He broke up with your friend Rory, well he ghosted her. He ghosted you as well.

Rory claimed that he'd been distant before he left. That she thought he didn't like her as much as when they started dating. You denied it, saying he was head over heals for her. But you knew you were lying.

Jess had been distant from Rory. Sometimes it was like he was pretending she was someone else. You confronted him about it and he said he had feelings for someone else.

He never told you who though. He left before you could continue that conversation.

You and Rory both attend Yale now.

Her and Paris Geller are your roomates. You and Rory bonded when you were younger over reading and writing.

But that's not how you got here. Well, sort of, but not completely.

Rory had seen Jess when she went to Stars Hallow. He was apparently sleeping in his csr and called you immediately. You were still at Yale, due to a couple friends wanting to hang out for a few extra days.

You drove there immediately. When you get to Rory and Lorelai's house, you walk in without knocking. Rory walks over to you.

"Are you sure it was him?" You ask. She nods with wide eyes.

"I've gotten over him leaving. We were by no means meant to be together. But, I know you still haven't fully healed, so-" you nod.

"He was asleep in his car?" She nods and Lorelai comes over to you. She looked sympathetic.

"I talked to Luke. I'm sure he let him in." You nod, your head was spinning. "Why don't you stay here tonight?" You look up at Lorelai. You nod, sitting on the couch. The two women go to their respected rooms. Your leg was bouncing and your mind wouldn't shut off.

So, you got up, and got in your car.

When you reached Luke's, you notice his car is gone. He's probably at Nicole's. You try to think of what to do next. Then you remember Luke's spare key. You worked here for a few months before leaving for Yale. With Lane.

You had to hop a little to reach it. You quickly go inside, going up the stairs. Silently thankful for Luke not being there so you could freely yell at Jess.

You walk into the apartment above the diner, looking over at the previously unused bed. Where he was asleep. Seemingly peacful. What an asshole.

You grab a pillow from the couch, walking over to him, throwing it at his head to wake him up. He awakes with a jolt. He looks completely freaked. And pissed. No. He has no right to be pissed.

"What the hell?!" He yells, then his eyes land on you. They take a minute to adjust, he looked a little confused for a second.

"Remember me?" You ask, annoyed. His eyes widen a fraction and any anger that was previously there disappeared. He stands up and you take a step back, happily staying away from him.

"Y/N?"

"Oh, so you do remember me. I couldn't have guessed that," you say sarcastically. He takes a step towards you, and you take yet another one back.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? Luke kick-"

"Don't blame Luke for your idiotic decisions!" He sighs.

"You don't know my side of the story," he says.

"You didn't graduate! For a job you could habe easily gotten once you did graduate! And you left without saying anything! What else is there to know?!" You ask.

"My dad showed up!" You freeze, staring at him. "And Luke hid it from me. I just wanted to get to know him." You try to process his words.

"What the hell does thst have to do with you leaving?"

"That's where I've been. I've been staying with my dad," he says. You take a step towards him, pushing him. He sighs.

"That's not a good enough excuse!" You say.

"I wasn't going to graduate anyways, Y/N!" He says.

"You think that makes it better?!" You push him again, this time he grabs your hands. " I get that Luke kicked you out, but that's your fault. You left Rory and you left me."

He presses his lips together. "How is she?" He asks.

"Over it. Peacefully asleep." He studies you.

"What about you?" He asks. You could feel the tears threatening your eyes. But you refused to let this boy make you cry. Not again. He wasn't worth it.

"What do you think?" You ask, a hint of bitterness in your voice. Maybe more than just a hint. He slid his hands up your arms. You shook your head, pulling away from him. He frowns at you, trying to grab your hand again. You took a couple more steps away from him.

"No. You can't just waltz back in here, acting like nothing happened. You hated this town, so what the hell are you doing back here?"

"My mom is here. She told me that Luke had my car," he says. You roll your eyes. "It's true!"

"I don't doubt it is. But you're not welcome here. By anyone. You should know that. Leaving like that just made everyone in this town hate you more than they already did," you tell him.

"And what about you?" He asks again. "Do you hate me, because that's all I really care about at this point."

"Yeah, you seemed to care so much when you left without a way to find you," you say. "And the answer is yes. Because you left when I- we- needed you most. I do hate you."

You could see the hurt on his face, he looked sad. However, you knew you were lying. You didn't know if it was possible to hate the boy infront of you. But you wished you did.

He seemed shocked to hear you say that, so you take the minute of his silence to leave the apartment. You quickly go downstairs, going up to your car.

You hear footsteps pounding after you. You try to open your car door, but a hand pushes it shut again. You turn to him, opening your mouth to yell at him again. But he beats you to it. Sort of. He doesn't say anything. But he does cut you off.

He had you pinned on your car with his arms, and he pressed his lips to yours. It felt desperate. Like he was trying to explain everything. You were in complete shock. You froze for a moment, accidentally kissing him back for a moment. Purely on instinct. His lips felt soft, and yet had an urgency behind them that was hard to explain. You wanted to kiss him back. In fact, every muscle in your body was dying to melt into him. But, instead, you pushed him away. You stare at him in shock.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" He lets out a breath, clearly trying to find words. "Stay the hell away from me, Jess," you say. You quickly get in your car. As you start it, he puts his hand above your door, leaning on your car.

"I'm sorry. I just I need you to listen to me," he says. You glare at him through the window.

"Good luck with that," you say sarcastically. You quickly pull away from him, him jumping backwards, in order to not have his foot run over. You were breathless. Completely breathless. You knew you shouldn't have wanted to kiss him back as much as you did. He left you. He left your bestfriend. He was your bestfriend's ex! But every inch of you wanted to stop the car.

When you got back to the Gilmore house, you fell on the couch. Sleep took over your body quickly. The next morning you wake up to Rory, tapping your shoulder.

You groan, propping up on your elbow.

"Coffee?" She asks. You smile slightly and nod. You go into the kitchen with her. "My mom left for work. She'll be back later. She tells you. You nod.

"Great. I have a bag in my car with clothes. I'll be right back," you tell her. She nods, as she starts pouring the coffee. After changing in Rory's room, you walk back out and take a sip of the deliciously strong coffee.

"I know you left last night," she says. You look up at her, taking a sip. "Did you see him?" She asks. You nod. "What happened?"

Despite feeling absolutely shitty about the ending of the previous night's events, you explain it all to her. She nodded along as you told the story. When you tell the end she sighs. She shakes her head, taking a sip of her coffee.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know he was going to-" she cuts you off.

"I figured it was you," she says. You tense up, raising an eyebrow. She chuckles. "I told you, I knew he didn't like me as much. I knew he liked someone else. Jess... he was a good enough person not to act on it until we broke up."

"I told you-"

"I know you were just trying to protect me, Y/N. But I'm over it. And I knew you were the one he liked. And I know you like him, too." You shake your head immediately. She laughs. "It's okay, Y/N! I think he needed to leave. He couldn't be here. He... he needed to be somewhere else. Don't stay mad at him. You two are perfect for eachother. You always have been." You frown down at your coffee.

"But... I told him I hate him. And a part of me does," you say. She nods.

"That's okay. But let him make up for it," she says. You look up at her. Then she stands up, grabbing your hand. She grabs her jacket and you grab yours. "Let's go to Luke's."

When you get there Luke looks at the two of you and swallows. "Uh, hey," he says. You roll your eyes.

"We know, Luke," Rory says. "It's okay." He sighs, giving both of you a small smile.

"Good." He gives both of you coffee and you thank him.

"Do you know where he is?" Rory asks. You snap your eyes to hers.

"No," Luke says. You sigh. He looks at you. After a minute, he slips Rory a napkin and she smiles. She pays and grabs your hand again, pulling you away. When you walk into the bookstore you let out a breath.

"What are we doing here?"

She doesn't answer you and continues walking around, looking for something. Then she freezes when looking down one row of books. She pushes you, walking away. And then you see him. Sitting there. He looks up st you and sighs.

"I'll leave," he says, putting his hands up. He stands up, and you bite your lip.

"I lied last night," you say. He looks at you, confused. "I don't hate you. I wish I did, but I don't. Trust me, I have tried hating you. And I can't. I just... I was so mad at you for leaving the way you did that I didn't even want to try and understand your reasoning." He stands still, clearly hanging onto every word you were saying. "I guess what I mean is that I want to try to understand now."

A small smile appears on his lips. "Who pushed you?" He asks. You smile slightly.

"Rory. I told you, she's not mad at you," you say. He smiles more. But it too fades.

"I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have-"

"Don't be sorry for that. For other things, yes. But for that... no." He studies you for a second before smiling. From the smile, you could tell he wasn't sorry about it. And he was clearly very happy that you didn't want him to be.
