#the mayflower is this one delicious restaurant in the bay area whose braised tofu and veggies i regularly dream of

[humansofstarshollow]

I was just reading your asks and I love the idea of a Paris x Doyle x Rory friendship moodboard! I think they had a cute and underrated friendship! It’s an unusual idea but they would’ve been a cute gang just chilling and obsessing over the paper tog

listen, one of the scenes I absolutely adore is that one in which paris has received the many acceptance letters and she waited for her support group (aka rory and doyle) to open the envelopes and they both are just so supportive and ready to handle the meltdown they well know is coming.

as I've said before, I'm not the biggest doyle fan but the three of them do sorta work, together, and had (and could have had more) some very funny moments together.

can you imagine an exhausted paris coming back late, after class, to find rory and doyle on the couch, some tvshow marathon playing on tv, cartons of chinese food all over the coffee table.

''hey paris," doyle greets the woman as she steps through the door. "come join us."

"is that from the mayflower?"

snorting, rory replies, "what do you think we are? newbies?"

taking a seat to the brunette's left, paris leans forward to grab the first container in reach-- just to have her hand swatted away. "what the heck?"

stretching to grab a small white box placed farther away, rory offers it to the other girl, along with chopsticks. "your favorite," she tells her, sneaking a small peck on the lips in.

"braised tofu and veggies?"

"why, of course." rory replies, feigning offence.

a hand on his chest, doyle adds, "it's almost as if you don't know us, woman!" then, "your girlfriend has been so protective of that box; you're lucky you even have any tofu to claim."

trying to conceal the small smile spreading on her lips -as always-, paris plucks a bite from the carton and leans back, comfortably, while chewing. "what are we watching?"

[i am too onboard the 'paris and doyle were each other's respective beards and we all know gellmore is endgame' ship to consider any other headcanon in which they aren't together]
