people who hate gilmore girls characters because they're classists are so fucking funny to me because that entire show has classism baked into it. it's like you all just forgot how the maids are treated in that show.

#gilmore girls #lorelai gilmore #rory gilmore #logan huntzberger #paris geller #emily gilmore #richard gilmore #yale #yeah logan is a classist #but so is literally everyone else in that show #38 year old lorelai gets an innocent lady fired because she screwed with emily's seating plan #rory is blind as hell to her class and privilege #all the yale characters are freaking WASPs with the exception of paris and i think logan #logan's mom is named shira (jewish name i'm pretty sure) so there's some jewishness in the family tree #it's a show that romanticizes old money New England #of course there's tons of classism #even paris is straight up looks down on people without a college degree

with rosie back in yale's life, trying to corrupt them, i think i might just let yale give in. just a little bit. become a little corrupted, as a treat. we call that character development in a bad way.

#allison's bullshit. #i just think that yale has such a soft spot for rosie #you don't spend two decades with someone and love them in some form #and have that go away even a hundred years later #rosie's gonna needle yale until they can't resist it anymore #they're gonna give in and become a tiny bit evil for a little bit #mori's gonna have to pull them out of it and it's gonna be rough

#ircl #emotions for ts #I survived my gov test though!!! I may have failed it but I survived!! #me after every test this year: okay so I dont think this is getting me into yale law;

Change of Plans

#Autism guy - Panic guy #I will probably draw more of this bc this scene means everything to me #Tuvok #st voyager #st voyager art #Tuvok being upset to the point he almost throws up....has to do self soothing rituals to calm down.......pressure stimming #In my mind Tuvok eventually rationalizes that obeying his parents and going to Starfleet is essentially penance for his teenage years #So while he doesn't like it and is sort of miserable more often than not he tries not to complain (much) #Tuvok art #//self harm #It's so funny how Tuvok's parents are characterized in the novels they appear in #Like - in this one they apparently applied to Starfleet academy FOR him??? HEHEHE..HOW??? #Did they forge a college essay??? Like what are you guys DOING??HEHEHE #can you imagine if you're like 'I can't wait to become a priest' and your parents say 'You're going to Yale. You're already accepted.' #T'Meni and Sunak are PRIMED for a college admissions scandal #bea art tag #autistic Tuvok #Picturing Tuvok who struggles with science and has no real interest in it but is still a science officer (misery hours) #This isn't how I characterize his mother acting...so in your mind please switch 'mother' to 'father' - then this scene is canon to me #<- Bc in the show he specifically says it's his father who disowned him and sent him to a Vulcan temple which seems more in line with this #Duality of a guy who is obviously struggling but also incredibly difficult to get along with + doesn't really /want/ to get along withanyone #Younger Tuvok is a bit more stubborn....brasher...gritting his teeth and trying his best to show his parents that he's a good son #but that ends up making his cadet/ensign years more like an endurance test than anything he can actually find enjoyable #THOUGH I do think his ensign years ARE more enjoyable than his cadet years...just you know. /More/ enjoyable doesn't mean enjoyable. #<- He likes actually being in action more than sitting around on campus studying science. This is where his interest in security comes in #He actually has people he considers friends in his ensign years~!! #me while drawing these and writing this out: IamcringebutIamfreeIamcringebutIamfreekillwhatcringeskillwhatcringes #uughhhimstill not very satisfied with thiss.....but! say la v. #I love Tuvok...old man's lived a lot of life hHEHE #I headcanon he's on good terms with his parents now but it was rocky as hell for a while there

everyone on gr is complaining about the vampires and the demon dick and the random drug lords (the best parts of the book) MY problem is this trip to hell is reading like a recipe for casserole

#this book is perfect for people who want to know every single detail of the inscriptions at the yale library #+ the specific steps and ingredients of each magical ritual #i feel so bad but like. i will not remember these details long enough to finish the book can i get the sparknotes #it's reading like a homestuck year one summary tbh #48% of the way through too far to abandon it but i have started 3 podcasts and finished 2 since i began reading #hell bent spoilers #sff book club #i think maybe dark academia is just not for me #i've just never been that intrigued by rich people artifacts i think it is time to admit it

So I did a thing for the Top Gun Happily Ever After 2024 and it's a little dumb but a lot fluffy.

technically brett has a higher degree in education than andre

#one graduated from yale and the other flunked out of med school in his first year. guess who ended up as a scientist. #i genuinely wonder if andre actually managed to fool the entire deep state into believing he had a phd or if jr knew it was fake #and if jr DİD know why did he just. let him take over an entire department. what is wrong w him #inside job #inside job dr andre #inside job brett #brett hand #dr andre lee #thoughts

Omg the Colin thing in season 6 is the most irresponsible thing his and Logan's friend group did, and they actually jumped off of a cliff with no proper support or safety precautions! Maybe it's because I'm from another country so I know how disorienting a new place can be even with knowing the language in it but the fact that a) NONE of the guys in the group were like "uh guys maybe we need to leave the girl be in her own country", b) none of them thought of what they would possibly do with her once she was in a foreign country to her that's the size of half a continent, and c) they were all annoyed and inconsiderate of her when it was clear that she didn't speak the language and didn't even know how to navigate in such a big place, just tells me everything I need to know for how they really behave. Like people can go on and on about how fun the LDB is but the show gives us numerous examples (even within the revival) that they truly would put another person's safety or even their own in jeopardy if it meant "having a good time" in the rich people's sense. Even the club scene in AYITL is so obnoxious because it's just a bunch of grown men annoying other attendees in the dance place and then being all "I'm buying the place so that you people can't get a piece of it!", like genuinely what an asshole

No but seriously when you are or have been a foreigner what Colin did goes from being a dark joke to downright horrifying. Not only did he drag her over to a country where she doesn't know the language, he flew her across the globe. It's not like he took her over to London, where she could always grab a one-hour-ish flight or even a train (because yes you can do that in Europe), he took her across the Atlantic Ocean to a country with some serious border control (no Schengen in the US) and then expected her to what? Hang out? Apparently this girl is a milkmaid who only speaks Dutch (which btw stereotype much) so I'm guessing she doesn't have the resources to book a flight back home or the ability to get a translator who can help her do it. Call me dramatic, but in a much much darker show this could have been a trafficking storyline.

The whole situation just really points out how Colin and the LDB not only don't care about anyone but themselves but genuinely view other people as sources of entertainment that they can push around however they want until they get bored and just ignore them. Like, did Colin think to maybe arrange for her to get home safely? Did the thought of telling him to, or to not let him take her to the US in the first place, even occur to Logan and Finn?

And these are the same people who hold a public party celebrating Rory's felony. The same people who apparently steal boats themselves all the time, and so much more. The same people who claim that a meticulously organized bungee-jumping event in ball gowns is somehow closer to real life than anything in Rory's life. The problem isn't them being rich people who have fun. It's that their idea of fun is doing literal harm to other people through theft and manipulation and almost kidnapping, all the while ignoring the incredibly expensive and important degree they got into Yale to actually work on and waiting for their parents to bail them out of jails and pay their university to keep them on for yet another year and spit in the face of higher education again.

#wow am I angry at this fictional group of people #I guess it's the real life people they represent that I'm really angry at because yes they're real #just take a look at your average ivy league politician #like am I supposed to be happy that Rory hangs out with these guys? I'm not #it is and should be possible for her to have fun with rich people without risking jail time or witnessing morally repuslive behaviour #it's episodes like this that really make me wish Rory had reconnected with Glenn and Marty and her year 1 roomies #and dumped the LDB for a healthier cooky and fun friend group in Yale for the rest of season 6 and 7 #oh well that's what fanfics and aus are for #anti life and death brigade #anti colin mccrae #the potato rants #anti logan huntzberger #anti finn gilmore girls #filtering purposes for the final two because though I don't personally like them I get why others do #but not Colin Colin can choke #gilmore girls #gilmore girls meta

hello hello i read your Lux fic and listen i haven't watched the whole show (just 2 seasons and then i took a break) and i loved it so so much like i kinda sorta know what happens in the show but i almost don't wanna watch the remaining because i love your version so much???? Like i already loved Jess and Jess x rory and then you set it in academia with all the literature banter and listen i loved reading, i was basically Rory (in terms of external personality) as a teen but i never took up lit in college cuz i wanted reading to remain my escape and my hobby and not my main career and also im a terrible writer but all their English classes made me kinda wish I'd also taken up English lit and had an academic rival to argue over characters and fall in love with??? Andddd god the tenderness between Jess and Rory and his friendship with the others but especially lane and that he finally gets all the love he deserves????? Also it kinda lowkey reminded me of a little life (ik that's grief on another level but the smart college kids with sad lives but happy loves and also discovering sexuality gave me those vibes in a more fun and warm way)

(ok i mostly meant to thank you for writing the story but this somehow turned into a much longer msg but anyway thanks and also if you could ever give a whole books rec list and/or publish original works I'm buying those without a thought, thanks)

I LOVE YOU. MY BRAIN IS MUSHY APPLESAUCE BC OF THIS. i don’t even know what to say this just made me so so happy thank you so much for sending it <3

#asks #anon #yale au tag #i miss lux every day #literati #god i have so many little sequels and things i need to write but i also wanna find a new AU to work on #for like my year-long project #bc i always have one but my mind is a blank #send prompts for AUs if you please

At a New Year’s Eve party in New Orleans in 1890, the New Orleans Times-Picayune later reported, Pearl Wright had ensured that her son, Ira, and his friends had party favors in their school colors--blue and white ribbons for Yale students, and  “exquisite little yellow porcelain jugs tied with black ribbons, the Princeton colors...” for the Princetonians. Today’s readers might find that confusing, but we understand why Pearl Wright used yellow to represent Princeton. Princeton’s orange has been seen in many shades, and the more vibrant one we see today is a reflection of the official colors adopted when the College of New Jersey officially adopted the name “Princeton University” in 1896. The ribbon you see here may not be faded, but may instead represent accurately the way the Class of 1873 interpreted orange and black.
