#& my favorite jess fic just went ''what kind of twelve-year-old does their mother's taxes'' and IMMEDIATELY I thought bella

completely random tangent BUT I just realized that jess mariano & bella swan have a lot in common. they were both raised by flighty, unreliable single mothers; they're both heavy readers; they're both highly introverted with low social batteries & low self-esteem; they both like to take care of things on their own (i was also going to say that they both had to take on responsibilities at home, but I realized there's technically nothing in the gilmore girls canon to support that. it's just a headcanon I have for jess bc liz is liz). the real difference between them is that jess generally projects his issues outward and causes external destruction, while bella generally sets her issues aside in favor of self-sacrifice & self isolation.

#no real conclusion or thesis to this I'm just losing it over jess mariano #& my favorite jess fic just went ''what kind of twelve-year-old does their mother's taxes'' and IMMEDIATELY I thought bella #gilmore girls #bella swan #jess mariano #twilight
