Hey how are you? I’m dying to talk/rant about h Jess & Rory and how unfairly Jess was treated so can we chat/rant for hours about it?

I'm fine with answering questions about them if you send asks, but unless it's about Jess not being focused on more in the narration, and it's about "Jess was unfairly treated by Rory", I'll probably have to pass on that one.

#jess mariano #gilmore girls #i plainly don't think Rory treated him horribly #yes she made mistakes on her end when it came to their relationship #and yes the moment in 6x18 was not good on her side #but she plainly admitted to that and apologized for it #and frankly a lot of fans think that Rory not immediately reciprocating Jess's feelings is her 'treating him unfairly' when that's not #how life or feelings work #I think that even Jess doesnt put it against her that she also isn't pining back for him #Jess knows what his feelings are for her #his feelings are his own responsibility and whether he chooses to tell Rory about them or not is also his decision #rory can't just read his mind; and I think it's weird to expect her to be able to do so

hi how are you? question for you, do you still want Jess & Rory to be together despite being pregnant with Logan's child? do you think it's fair that Jess changes his WHOLE life just for Rory's sake?

I think the way people view this as some unfair situation on Jess's end is more concerning than the reality of how it would really be, actually.

Firstly, to view Jess's current life as it is as being one that he changed solely for Rory's sake would be false to begin with. Jess didn't change his life for Rory. Rory as a matter of fact, made it plainly clear that she wouldn't agree to his sudden idea to run away together, and in doing so made it obvious that she won't allow him a place in her life as it was back then because of how unsure she was of his own stability regarding his decisions. And I mean, I can't blame her for that? Jess was flighty then. He was still a teenager who was homeless, didn't have a stable income and apart from Luke, had no one else to rely on when Liz was too busy trying to build a new life for herself with a new husband. And Jess as a result of this and his prior reconciliation with Luke, got to a point where he could decide on what he wanted for himself and his own life, which then led to him being the stable, mature adult we managed to see now. During this entire time, we see him go through several meetups with Rory, but even when their last one in season 6 ends on a tragic note, that doesn't make Jess dive off the deep end and become unstable again. This is because regardless of his feelings for Rory or where they stand, whether it's former exes or good friends, Jess's own life is of his making, and it has nothing to do with what Rory chooses to do with her life. And I'm pretty certain that Jess knows this and that Rory would not want to have his life and stability depend on her. We already saw how this went on with Logan, and frankly it's never a long-term solution if the way you lead your life solely depends on your partner.

Which brings me to my next point: I think that Jess would plainly not care if Rory had Logan's child. A lot of fans' obsession with this is so weird and backwards to me because it feels as though you guys push for some weirdly conservative view of life that these characters must lead, despite both Rory and Jess being children to former teen moms. Neither of them have ever known what it's like to have that "white picket fence" American dream of a home life. This is to say that no, I doubt Jess would consider Rory to be any lesser just because she has a child out of wedlock. I think he'd at most feel concern for her and her state, and maybe have some complicated feelings on the parentage of that kid depending on how Logan is as a parent, but I doubt he'd start preaching to Rory about how wrong she is about choosing what to do with her own body and pregnancy. That's frankly none of his business, and Rory was in her 30s by the time AYITL happens. So no, I don't think it wouldn't be fair for Jess to "change his entire life" for Rory because he plainly wouldn't. If Jess wants to be with Rory who would by then be a single mother and Rory would also want that, who am I to say "this is inexcusable" about two characters that are adults?

And lastly, yes I'd still like for them to be together. Rory and Jess are both adults, I think it's time for fans to start treating them as such and realize that these overly simplistic views of what a character "deserves" or doesn't don't matter when that's not what the character in question WANTS. Frankly, I doubt Jess would ever want to have a regular strategic family with anyone, since the way he grew up is far from what is "socially acceptable".

What you said about Logan not doing anything to change his situation, even though he complains about his family so much... It's SO true. And I don't know if it's that he's too afraid of losing the comfortable life he's used to having or partly that he doesn't know what else to do with his life, but as much as he claims to hate it, I think part of him actually likes having his overbearing family as an excuse to do whatever he feels like doing with no consequences. He feels sorry for himself, but it's a self-indulgent kind of self-pity, because he can tell himself he "deserves" whatever because he's "so unhappy" and don't you think he deserves a little happiness? And if his family calls all the shots, he doesn't have to take responsibility for anything ever, because "it's out of my hands." Like in the Revival, when he "has to" marry Odette because it's "part of the dynastic plan." Sorry, Rory, but there's nothing I can do! You're not allowed to be mad at me, because it's not my fault! In the end, unlike Lorelai and unlike Jess, I don't think Logan really WANTS to change, or at least not enough to want to do it without someone MAKING him. For someone who projects such a "take charge" persona and chides Rory for being afraid to "jump" and take risks, he really is extraordinarily passive. Risking his life and physical health actually feels "safer" to him than risking his security. It's like he'd literally rather die than live life as a "poor person."

Yep, that's pretty much what I get from him as a character. And I don't mean to say that Logan is the only one that is solely responsible for the way his life is, particularly when Mitchum is like that as a person and father to him, but after a certain point you have to understand that as you grow up, you also become responsible for your own behavior and life more than your parent is. And Logan pretty much comes off as never realizing this, even with the half-hearted attempt the season 7 writers made.

I feel like his behavior is overall a combination of both of what you mentioned, that he is passive because he himself has never taken the time and effort to realize what he would want for himself, without taking into account his relationship with Rory or anything else, and that in its own way, he has more of a "reason" to behave the way he does and live his life extravagantly because hey, he's had to put up with his asshole father for years, might as well take advantage of all the money he's been given by him. Which is pretty ironic considering how Mitchum is an asshole towards everyone. I mean by Logan's logic, I believe Rory would also have to be monetarily compensated for because his father decided he can be a dick to a university student on an internship for free just because he was the one that offered her the post.

It's also why I find any of his attempts at distancing himself from his family to be lackluster because again, compared to what Lorelai or even Jess managed to do, it simply boiled down to Logan getting another job, all the while still reaping from the benefits of being a Huntzberger and having a guaranteed pot of gold on the side. Comparing this to both Jess and Lorelai deciding to start a new leaf while being homeless young adults is even demeaning on their behalf, not just because of how they started but because they were also driven by the need to change their lives for themselves, and not as a result of some other issue like say, chickening out of facing the consequences when your business deal results in monetary loss. And another issue with this is that we actually don't see Logan stick it out for once after this either. I mean, we see him dump Rory solely because she didn't want to marry him and conform to his life plans, and that's it. We don't even see him settle in his new job in order to actually believe that he's changed for the better, which is part of why his "regression" in the revival isn't out of character in the slightest. When you have a character that falls back on negative patterns of behavior every time they face an obsticle in their lives, and not even get to see said character grow above that in a pretty substantial, long-lasting way, then there's only so much benefit of the doubt you as a viewer can give them.

Could you make a comparison post between Lorelai asking Christopher whether Sherry’s still pregnant and whether he’s still with her and Jess in the same episode asking Rory whether she’s still with Dean, just to highlight the similarities between Lorelai and Jess?

Hi. Could you make a comparison post of Lorelai asking whether Christopher is still with Sherry at Friday Night Dinner in s3 e2 and Jess asking Rory whether she's still with Dean in the same episode? Thanks. 😊

I saw your request on literatigifs and don't worry, I'm planning on making this comparison gifset. Sorry for taking some time with it.

twitter(.)com/lorelaisaid/status/1411351056227966982?s=20 this acc screenshotted and stole ur gifset and has been doing this to other content creators too

Thank you for notifying me on this but I'm personally fine with whether or not people give me credit for the gifs that I make. But other content creators have the right to not like their work not being credited, so I'll put this in the general gilmore girls tag in case any of them need to know about it.

But guys like this get into trouble which, if you hang out with them, gets you into trouble and I don’t want you to get into trouble. I’m sorry, are we talking about Dean still or are we suddenly talking about you?
