I think there’s substantial evidence that rory had a crush on lindsay growing up. she tells the mark twain magnet story to like anyone who will listen and even before she finds out about lindsay and dean she’s upset by the idea that lindsay might not like her anymore. and when the magnet story is brought up in front of lindsay rory tries to brush it off like it’s not big deal because she’s embarrassed, indicating that it probably meant a lot to her.

It's not mystery i quite like rory/lindsay as a couple but i have to be honest, i've never really taken canon and looked at it in a different way, like you did. and boy oh boy-- galaxy brain!

lindsay was always probably one of the more popular girls in class, many friends and regularly invited to all of the cool birthday parties. on the other hand, rory wasn't a loser, not at all, but she had a narrow group of good people and that was plenty enough.

if they crossed paths, they politely shared small talks but that was that.

until the science project in 6th grade. very trope-ily, they got paired up and that was the first time rory ever caught glimpses of lindsay, and not school-lindsay-lister. needless to say, she liked what she saw.

they weren't exactly friends after that, but something had certainly changed, although neither could pinpoint the matter. they still shared small talk, quick glances across the rooms, brief waves, but they also didn't shy away from taking every single opportunity to spend a little more time together after school, or on weekends. they didn't plan meetings, they were often just in the same spot at the right time.

they go on the school trip, lindsay buys the magnet, and that brings a whole lot of new feelings into rory's already confused mind. (lindsay's too -queue gay panic)

they grow up, never growing closer than friends-ish; rory goes to chilton; rory dates dean; rory still cannot keep her mind away from lindsay's wit, cleverness, kindness. her beauty. so when she goes to yale, she makes sure to bring the piece of paper with lindsay's number and email (which she has had for years, and never used).

she sends an email.

lindsay replies.

they finally grow closer; friends proper.

one day rory is back in stars hollow and lindsay is crossing the street, their eyes meet for a second, but dean is waiting for the blonde on the sidewalk, with his lopsided smile and small town boy charme.

rory doesn't reply to lindsay's following email. nor the one after that. or the next. she needs time, she tells herself, she is so busy.

lindsay keeps reaching out, until she doesn't.

it's tuesday night, she is walking back from the cafeteria, and a deliciousate form is sitting on the floor just outside her dorm's door, head resting on her bent legs. a blonde head.

the rest, my dears, is as fanfiction-like as it gets, choose your own path. just know that, well, dean is no more than a distant memory to either of them.

I would love to know your thoughts on the Jess/Finn ship that surfaced with an anon from Humansofstarshollow, given your feelings on Literati. As a fellow Literati shipper (and, separately a flaming homosexual), I'm so conflicted. On the one hand, Jess and Rory are great and their chemistry in the show was incredible, but on the other hand, like Jess and Finn are just aesthetically... yes? Plus, I feel like they would have a kind of opposites attract chaotic kinda thing going on and i love that

Oh wow, haha! I hadn't seen that! Huh. I don't know if I'm the best person to ask this (but thanks!), just because I'm generally more interested in long-term compatibility and end-game potential rather than "these attractive people are hot together" in my shipping preferences, haha! And both are fine, they're just different "styles" of shipping.

So, now that you know how I'm looking at this (which may not be what you wanted!), I'd say: ehhhh, I can't see it. Haha! People try to put Finn with Rory sometimes too, and that's always been one of those things that confuses me to the point of texting my best friend at inconvenient hours, going, "Have you seen this?!! WHY??? HOW???" Haha! The thing about Jess and Rory is that their chemistry isn't just physical, but also intellectual, and they crave each other's minds as much as each other's bodies. Finn, bless him... does NOT fit that bill. Haha! He's an enjoyable and entertaining character who has his sweet and/or funny moments, and is a great addition to a friend group. But as a partner? There's just not much "there," in my opinion, plus a lot that would just be BAD. Given Jess's childhood with Liz, would he enjoy being in a relationship that would often entail babysitting a flaky alcoholic, with the added "benefit" of him being a spoiled, out-of-touch rich boy with no sense of his own privilege? I think Jess would lose patience with that VERY quickly. And being the extroverted party boy that he is, Finn wouldn't understand why Jess would want to spend so much time at home reading ("I'm bored! Can't we go out?" I can hear it now, haha), and would either want to drag him to parties he doesn't want to go to or invite large groups of drunken strangers into their OWN space... He would have no interest in intellectual discussion and would probably find Jess "boring" after the initial attraction wore off. Even their interest in pranks, which at first glance seems like something they might have in common, turns out to be completely different. Jess prefers to secretly set a plan in motion and then watch everything fall apart from a safe distance (Bid-a-Basket would be an exception, but that was PERSONAL. Haha), while Finn seems to enjoy pranks that place him in the center of the action with all eyes on him.

In short, Jess and Finn have nothing in common and I don't think they're the kind of opposites that DO attract, but yes, they're both very pretty. Haha! I still prefer the electric "meeting of the minds" energy that Jess has with Rory, but that's just me!

#Literati #Jess Mariano #Finn #whatever-his-last-name-is! #I don't think he'd work with Rory for similar reasons #Rory shouldn't have to 'mother' her partner #And even taking the generous fandom take of Finn being 'sweet' that's... all there is #Dean was 'sweet' too and that's not ENOUGH for Rory #She craves intellectual stimulation #And if she doesn't get it from her partner eventually she'll be drawn to it elsewhere #And we know how THAT ends up #Long story short #I think Finn is an entertaining side character #But doesn't have enough substance to be a satisfying romantic prospect for a character like Jess OR Rory

yes, optics is probably not a common career, especially among young people/girls, is it? it's actually a family thing haha what do you do, then? btw I only meant that it's curious for someone living in Belgium to have Italian origins on both sides and from such particular cities. just an interesting fact :) and hey, Paris is always a good choice! such a beautiful city. -humansofstarshollow (sorry about double asks. tumblr should seriously delete this stupid limited characters thing.)

my sister visited Bruges during her Belgian trip and loved it. it’s apparently quite a lovely town, which pictures don’t seem making justice to. tbh, apart from Bruxelles and Bruges, i don’t know much about the country. although, reconsidering, i should probably visit the southern part as i’ve got a soft spot for French speaking people lol. the beach house is in the northern part of Sardinia, keep Olbia as a reference. -humansofstarshollow—–Yes, I would say the same, I don’t hear that often. I’m still studiyng, last year of university in the publishing and communication field (to be simple)Oh no problem, I understand what you mean about my origins ahah. It’s true that I’ve never met Sardinians in Belgium in fact ^^’I so agree on Paris ! :D And I can’t say for Bruges (sadly). Never went there. But I often hear that the North has beautiful cities like Ghent, Ostend and Antwerp. In the South I would say Mons, Bouillon and Spa. I see, I went to Olbia once :) It’s so great to hear from Sardinia, not happening a lot.I agree on the limited character ahah. As you see, I reunited the two messages in one.

#humansofstarshollow personal #humansofstarshollow asks #humansofstarshollow requests #humansofstarshollow

[humansofstarshollow]

for the spring series: rory and jess actually make it to senior prom

this request sounds fun, but borderline "too specific" so, it's on my list and i will see if i can make it work in a way that fits the series.

nonetheless, thank you, dear!

(what do we think, does jess wear a tux to make rory happy?)

Would "Sookie kitchen witch winter" be to specific? Early season 1 and 2 Sookie gives casual witch vibes to me.

Hello dear anon! It is too specific, yes, but i certainly can work on a kitchen sookie board with hints of that witchy/cottagecore vibe (i assume that's what you are referring to?)

could I request a winter/Christmas moodboard with Jess and Rory and their kid or kids?

this is a little too...specific a request since I try to stick to more basic ideas for series. However, i am putting it on the list because a) it is a cute one and b) i am always so happy to receive requests from my lovely long-time followers :)

happy holidays!

Hello! I love your aesthetics, and I was wondering where you get the images for them? I'd like to make some myself, but I don't really know where to start lol

Hello!

All of the used images in my boards come from pinterest, and then i edit them on vsco. there's truly no better source than pinterest, in my experience.

good luck!

The galexy brain energy Emily & Mrs.Kim though? (Petition for a year in the life fix-it fic where Emily meets up with Mrs.Kim somehow& this happens instead)

i am ashamed it took me this long, honestly

-----

i actually see them happening in two possible scenarios:

ayitl- emily has lost and grieved her husband. she's leading a somewhat balanced life made of quality time spent with few chosen people, community related engagements, book clubs, shows binging and so on. it's a quiet existence, but a happy one nonetheless. then, one day, while in a marie-kondo moment, emily suddenly remembers that one tiny antique shop she had once visited with rory. of course emily knows lane, she's heard enough about rory's best friend throughout the years, and had even met the girl but for some reason she had never gone back to the store, despite the lovely items she had perused. she's just browsing, she tells herself; she could do with a couple of new ottomans and a tea set but she's also not necessarily on a mission. it's a tad awkward, at first. (ms) kim (who had finally put an end to that sort of marriage of hers soon after the twins' birth) is her usual self- but something is clearly just very different, this time around. she's..intrigued. and very much intriguing. they meet again, after that, for business affairs, antique discussions, tea afternoons which then turn into phone calls just because, dinners, weekends trips. at some point things change. one tender kiss, and life has never been the same.

pre-canon- emily is in college, finally enjoying freedom, and life, aware she's gotta find a proper young man to settle down with yet not so eager to follow through with it. good thing indeed because one day she ends up in this tiny antique shop that penny has strongly recommended, meets the salesperson and she's a fucking goner. kim is the farthest thing from an eligible partner she could have ever imagined, and the one her heart has been set on from day one. not much she can do, really. kim is also the one to 'propose', in her own peculiar way, putting down a pen and papers next to the teacup on a fine spring morning. "I've highlighted all of the spots; just dates and signatures," she says. still sleepy, and taken aback, "what am I signing, exactly?" emily asks. "the new business' contract, of course. we've discussed it, don't yoh remember? we'll officially be equal owners and partners of the shop." good thing emily had picked the perfect ring months prior.
