Jess is hurt.

Jess is hurt by the town. He’s a kid, he’s neglectfully shipped of to his uncle (that he barely knows) and he does a few pranks and some stupid things. He doesn’t do well in school. Not only do adults not like him, but they all hate him. He fulfils that role in a cycle of hatred, expecting a child to break that is foolish and expects far too much.

Jess is hurt by his teachers. Sure, he missed the guidance counselor’s meetings, the principal’s meetings, and a lot of his classes. But the teachers still saw him. The teachers knew he worked at Luke’s. As someone with 6 teachers in my family and has been in the teaching major, everyone who goes into teaching goes in with the intentions of helping children be their best selves. 

Jess is hurt by his school. The only time we see or hear him with his classmates, the ones we don’t know, he’s fighting. He doesn’t have friends in Stars Hollow. 

Jess is hurt by his principle. How dare a grown man look at a child who is scared and panicked over being held back, someone who has never felt comfortable in his school, and say that no one will miss him? The only things that make me this angry is what happened to Luke and Lorelai late in the show and April.

Jess is hurt by his mother. She doesn’t have time or energy for him, but she has time for boyfriend after boyfriend, renaissance fairs, and probably a billion other things. In “Teach Me Tonight”, he even says his mother would have a group of reasons for him not to succeed in school or later life. 

Jess is hurt by his father. He left him, he ran away from his responsibilities because the fear was more than his love for Jess. He left him to take care of an irresponsible and flakey mother. When the guilt overcame Jimmy, he tracked Jess down only to leave him again. 

Jess is hurt by Luke. For all of his virtues and the good things that he does, Luke kicks Jess out when he’s at his lowest. He doesn’t go after him and he doesn’t sit Jess down when he comes back in 4.12/13 and tell him that he loves him. He doesn’t manage it for a year, and Jess is only a kid. I understand the outburst, but not bringing Jess back was something that I can imagine he would always regret. 

Jess is hurt by Lorelai. She treated him like actual garbage for most of the series. It was really hard to watch.

Jess is hurt by Rory. The lack of trust she has in him the entire time they date, as shown in 3.14. When she won’t take his word for truth and has to turn to Dean, Jess won’t accept her apology because “I wouldn’t believe me either”. Then she tries to use him to get back at Logan in 6.18 and it breaks his heart again.

And you wonder why Jess, someone who has never felt completely taken care of or loved, lashes out? 

Hurt people tend to hurt people.

Maybe Rory, this someone was always there.

Jess:

Jess: Ror, obviously.

[personfreakingout]

Rory, quietly: I’d date you.

Jess: whAT?

Rory: I SAID I HATE YOU.

[personfreakingout]

Jess: I’ve only known Rory for a week, but if anything happened to her I’d kill everyone in the room.

[Pause]

Jess: and then myself.

Jess: *appearing out of literally nowhere with clara* nEiThEr WiLL i *brings out gun* I don’t even like this kid.

Dean: I WonT heSiTatE biTch

Proof that Jess Mariano is a Gigantic Nerd:

Has a book in his back pocket at all times

Tried wooing his crush with basic magic tricks. Multiple times.

Also tried wooing his crush by stealing her book and writing notes in the margins

Was employee of the month at Walmart

Risked injuring himself to go on a romantic carriage ride with his crush

Described the times he had class with his crush’s bf as “brief non-pugilistic time”

Spent $90 to get a picnic date with his crush

Wooed said crush on said date with literature banter

”You know, Ernest only has lovely things to say about you.”

Put together and personally delivered an entire care package of diner food when he heard his crush was gonna be home alone

Got visibly angry and defensive when someone implied he’d never read Jane Austen

Got so overwhelmed when he finally got the girl that he had to “regroup” before he could stand close to her

Stared lovingly at a book for like 4 minutes straight then called his gf a “cruel woman” for not letting him read it right away

Tried fighting a swan with a soup ladle

”Yahoo-ed” the exact distance between him and his gf’s future college

Was given a romance self-help book by his uncle and actually took advice from it

Chucked rocks at his ex gf’s window like he was in some cheesy romance film

Is still pining over his high school gf. Even now. In his thirties.
