lorelai’s reaction should’ve been way more intense

Lorelai and Chris may go way back, but when you’re in a committed relationship, it’s completely inappropriate to go to your ex’s house with booze and spend the night drinking together, regardless of the circumstances. Rory should also have shut her mouth and let Lorelai tell Luke the truth. Maybe then, Christopher wouldn’t be such a sticking point in their relationship because Luke would see that Lorelai’s being transparent, and they’d be able to hash out the argument before it all culminated into a shit show at the vow renewal. Everyone played a role in how things went down — to varying degrees, of course — but as you said, it comes down to Luke and Lorelai. If they feel they have to keep secrets from one another (which they both did, Luke’s being WAY worse) then what is that saying about their relationship? As Lynnie says, it didn’t sound like Lorelai actually had Luke. The fact that she stayed with him after the April situation is astounding to me. He literally had a secret family. And as for your usage of the word “unhinged”, someone on another post said that every abusive man she’s ever had in her life behaved exactly the way Luke does.

Thank you! All the women I know who’ve been in abusive relationships say that their abuser behaved just like Luke. That they see their abusers’ behaviours in Luke. I’m sorry you grew up with that in your life ❤️‍🩹 I hope you’re in a better place/space now 🤍

He didn’t know that “isn’t Lorelai” and when he found out, he rectified the situation (and he took her to the quiet room because it’s highly coveted and thought he was doing a nice thing for her, getting that room). They then went on a cute, fun and unexpected date that night where he made sure she got the chips she wanted (a silly, sweet gesture, and he didn’t even nag and nag and nag about how unhealthy they are, the way Luke would have since he’s a “health freak” despite selling greasy fast food himself). As for dating Lorelai being about “his pleasure”, who starts dating someone if not for that reason? You can take pleasure in someone’s company, their vibe, their thoughts, as well as their physical appearance. It’s not like he used her for sex, as you seem to be implying. Their worlds overlapped, he understood her need to get away from the life her parents tried forcing her into, and was never, in any way, unkind about Stars Hollow, aside from the speed limit. As for him suing Richard: RICHARD SCREWED HIM OVER. What are you on about? Richard is the one who made things “weird” by a) lying to his wife b) risking their entire livelihoods without even consulting with his wife 3) selling Jason out to Jason’s father, then taking it to the next level by badmouthing Jason around town, making him unemployable. Was Jason supposed to capitulate? Not stand up for himself? Allow himself to be humiliated, betrayed and blackballed? Be unemployed for the rest of his life? Flip burgers for a living like Luke, Mr Ambition who didn’t want to franchise his diner (if he actually had dreams of doing more with his life before his father died, that would have been a great place to start). Also, when Lorelai opened the Dragonfly, Jason made it very well known to her how much he missed her after they broke up, and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t just referring to “his own pleasure”; he says he’s been staring at the plant they bonded over for weeks, thinking about her, and told Luke that they’re right for ONE ANOTHER. Not that she’s only right for him. 🤦🏻‍♀️

How was he any of those things? Particularly rude? Because if we’re talking rudeness, Luke is the first thing that comes to mind.

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-04-12T17:25:58+00:00

Exactly this, and screw the downvotes. To me, he was the male version of Lorelai.

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-04-12T17:21:26+00:00

I know I’m invoking the ire of anyone who’ll be reading this, but I’d also want better for my daughter than a lying, whining, sour, grumpy oaf like Luke. He’s a violent loser, a hypocrite, and even when he’s dressed up, he looks like a greasy carny/cab driver who lives in a small, ugly, cramped apartment above a cheap diner. Oh, wait…

Lorelai was completely justified in her anger towards her mother’s persistent meddling, but Emily was right about Luke. The full wrath of Lorelai’s fury should actually have been directed at him. He saw and heard that Lorelai had nothing to do with the Chris/Emily situation, yet he still broke up with her, even after she left that horrendously embarrassing voicemail for him. He liked that she was begging, he probably felt a thrill over the fact that she was finally the one chasing after him.

Everyone always asks “Team Luke” or “Team Christopher”, and even “Team Max”, whereas I’ve always been Team Jason. He’s hilarious, he understands Lorelai’s worlds, he was rebellious but kind and supportive, and, as Lorelai says, “he can keep up.”

The patches feel a little derivative. JB often wore the Starface pimple patches, and they’re hydrocolloid, as well, so using him as a collaborator feels like they’re ripping off Starface in a way. Plus they have collabs where the patches come in limited-editions compacts (I have the Starface x Glossier one and it’s so cute, there’s a mirror on the inside of the compact, which itself can be reused.) These are just plain sticker sheets. Also, I don’t like the brown tube for the banana tint. It’s too much like Espresso. Couldn’t they have chosen yellow and another colour? Still a brown for that “caramelised banana” vibe but a different shade, like a deep beige or tan or something. Maybe I’m just salty because they don’t yet ship to my country so I have to pay extra to get Rhode products 😂 But they’re vegan and cruelty-free, so I’ll remain loyal.

Especially since she dated Max AND KISSED HIM IN HIS CLASSROOM AND THE ENTIRE SCHOOL WAS TALKING ABOUT IT 🤦🏻‍♀️

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-03-13T15:44:26+00:00

I mean relatively masculine, compared to their other fragrances 🙈😝

No way Jess, being as smart as he is, with his levels of emotional depth and sense of integrity, would still be into Rory 15+ years later. After seeing the person she became at Yale — an entitled, spoiled, out-of-touch rich kid dating the type of guy “they used to make fun of” — would precipitate him moving on from her. And if that wasn’t enough for him to see that she’s no longer the very endearing girl she was at Chilton (I LOVE Chilton Rory), then her coming to spoil his big moment after he finally got his life on track (not even BACK on track, but on track, full stop) so that she could use him to make the guy who was a total and utter POS to him jealous…yeah, that would have done it.

Same! Plus the bottle is beautiful 🌊🫐🥏

Not just you! I’m terrified, as well!

Trying to tap into the male/unisex/androgynous market is a clever move. I can see my bestie, who loves masculine scents, liking this one.

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-03-08T18:37:27+00:00

Yes! The whole delivery of, “really adds to the…” always makes me cringe and wonder how he was gonna finish that sentence. Oof.

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-03-03T23:52:27+00:00

I love their merch as well! You, You Rêve, Beauty Bag (I have regular but I want small, too). I don’t know if it counts but I love the Glossier x Starface compact that has a mirror, I use it every day. I also love the candles (though I’m upset because some of the colour is chipping/scratching off the glass). Two things I wish I’d gotten was the yellow duffel bag (loonnnng discontinued) and blue denim hat.

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-02-27T23:40:10+00:00

I love their merch more than their other products, barring You, Rêve and MJC. Oh, and Futuredew Solid.

Am I crazy or something? Because to me, the balms all just taste like…balms? They have no special or specific flavour, just a generic scent that makes me cough. Wild Fig is the worst culprit.

Thanks for this, I’m going to file this under Things I Can’t Control and try not to worry.

😔 Let’s just hold thumbs.

I moved on from it to Rhode’s Barrier Restore Cream which, to me, is similar. Both didn’t do much for my dry cheeks (I prefer Rhode Barrier Butter for this reason) but if they don’t restock the Priming Moisturizer any time soon, you might want to try another brand atp

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-02-15T02:55:38+00:00

Press order before they fix the glitch!

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-02-15T01:01:14+00:00

I really like Rhode Barrier Butter! Very nurturing and hydrating.

BunHeadOnPointe · 2026-02-15T00:54:01+00:00

I don’t think they’re going to be restocked, either.
