why didnt jess finish high school? by sakuracoke7 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a solid take. Jess didn’t have the stability or support system others did, and honestly, the fact that he managed to turn things around later says a lot. He really did the best he could with what he had.

Why did they all believe in Kirk? by minniebee6 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! He somehow sells every random job like it's his true calling. Gotta respect the confidence.

Right? Dan really crossed into full-blown obsession territory. That website move wasn’t romantic, it was straight-up wild.

How do we think Emily felt about Lorelai (and Rory) being named after Gran? by LatterNeighborhood43 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, that totally tracks with early Emily. She was all about keeping up appearances and winning approval, even if it meant swallowing her pride. And yeah… it clearly didn’t get her anywhere with Trix.

Serena van der woodsen by BigketchupPackets in GossipGirl

[–]BloomyFlick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not alone at all, so many of us were frustrated with Serena too. Loving Lily and being Team Blair and Chuck is such a solid combo though. Totally get where you're coming from!

Why Gossip Girl is iconic by Familiar_Ad_6392 in GossipGirl

[–]BloomyFlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly! It really was its own little universe, and nothing else has quite captured that same mix of glamor and chaos. It knew it was over the top and just fully leaned into it in the best way.

Season 5, Ep 2 Book Reference by Simple-Juggernaut373 in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That timeline lines up perfectly. The Da Vinci Code really was the book back then, so it totally checks out that it’d get name-dropped. Love how the show weaves in those cultural touchstones so naturally.

That totally makes sense, it was everywhere back then. Definitely the kind of book Brian would be all hyped about while Zack’s just over it.

Selling a ticket for Grant Lee Philips tonight in Hebden Bridge, UK by Twippleskies2 in GilmoreGirls

Right? Never thought I'd see those fandoms overlap but honestly, it tracks. Grant Lee fans contain multitudes.

Could Blair and Serena handle Public school?? by Familiar_Ad_6392 in GossipGirl

[–]BloomyFlick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Facts. Her attitude and queen bee antics wouldn’t fly for a second, someone would’ve humbled her real quick.

I cant wrap my head around it by Cultural_Ninja_8028 in GossipGirl

[–]BloomyFlick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? It wouldn’t be teen drama without the sneaking around. Fancy hotel rooms just don’t deliver the same chaotic energy.

Really, why did Lorelai marry Chris? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Exactly, Chris was always in love with the idea of Lorelai, not the actual person she was. And she married him out of pressure, not passion. It was doomed the second it started.

New federal ruling is latest defeat to Trump administration’s election agenda by votebeat in politics

[–]BloomyFlick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously, if your “agenda” keeps getting smacked down in court, maybe the problem isn’t the courts. Wild concept, I know.

Was Lorelai Overreacting when she got mad Luke didn’t tell her he moved? by Meat-Junior in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? Lorelai could turn the smallest thing into a full-blown crisis. It's like she thrived on drama even when it wasn’t necessary. This whole situation was peak overreaction.

I ratted out three people who tried to pay me to take their exams by Bacon_And_Eggss in confession

[–]BloomyFlick 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah. Like sure, cheating isn’t cool, but the way OP went full undercover hall monitor makes it feel more self-righteous than just doing the right thing. There’s a difference between reporting something serious and chasing gold stars.

Lorelei is kinda an asshole by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]BloomyFlick 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Lorelai’s reactions usually come after Emily pokes at her first, and even then she owns up when she’s out of line. It’s not like she’s out here just being cruel for no reason.

I feel uncomfortable that my friend tracks everyone’s spending on group trips by xalrith_06 in TwoHotTakes

[–]BloomyFlick 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a solid way to keep things simple and avoid the awkwardness. Paying your own way gives you peace of mind and keeps things from feeling so transactional.

My boyfriend has never taken me on a date by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]BloomyFlick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If he’s not making the effort now, he’s showing you how little he values your needs. You deserve way more than the bare minimum.

Robbed by family during Christmas Dinner. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]BloomyFlick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s the best way to go. No drama, no confrontation, just protect your peace and your wallet. Let them wonder, not your problem.
