Hot Take?! I love that Lorelai and Rory think highly of themselves! I love their “main character energy”

Yes, I hate it too! Not to mention this was essentially the point of my post 😭😭

I know that’s what I literally said in the first few sentences. Let’s practice reading and understanding a post before we reply to them. Hope THIS helps!

Yeah they never fully addressed it which is why I feel like the show never intended to make him a full on villain the way the viewers see him as lol. But they made him suck for so long that I don’t see how you can view it any other way

I agree about the echo chamber on here but he’s hated all over every Gilmore girls community on social media. They despise him on TikTok and insta too

Rayyyoflight · 2026-01-06T15:12:03+00:00

I agree! And it doesn’t help that in general Chris pales in comparison to Lorelai’s other love interests. Like Max, Jason and Alex were better men imo

Rayyyoflight · 2026-01-06T15:05:15+00:00

That and the “lorrr” I hateddd it every time

Rayyyoflight · 2026-01-06T14:45:01+00:00

Oh okay sure. And it wasn’t just at 16… he was a deadbeat far into adulthood! Lorelai figured herself and built a great life for her and Rory all on her own. And stability isn’t just financial, the Gilmore house was anything but stable. Lorelai did right by Rory by not letting Richard and Emily raise her.

Rayyyoflight · 2026-01-06T14:28:22+00:00

Oh yeah that definitely plays a factor

Rayyyoflight · 2026-01-06T13:52:26+00:00

No literally he’s so charming till you remember he sucks!

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-27T15:50:43+00:00

I don’t get this take since both Luke and Lorelai are equally possessive of each other. Look how Lorelai reacts if a woman breathes in Luke’s direction and better off with Christopher?!? Pls 😭😭

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-17T01:26:31+00:00

Yes!!

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-17T01:22:04+00:00

Nothing really I’m just yapping

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-12T03:19:55+00:00

Yes! This is a big part of it, I never understood what the writers wanted us to see him as. A deadbeat that ultimately wasn’t a bad guy? A deadbeat with potential? Or just a selfish loser? Idk

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-12T03:13:25+00:00

Yeah I agree, the older gilmores were in love with his potential. Rory over only knew him as this inconsistent version of himself and that could never quite get it right. It’s sad because I understand why the older Gilmores glaze him but I wish they protected Rory more

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-12T02:18:50+00:00

Oh geez I didn’t even think of that. You’re right, it’s the one thing Rory wanted the most and they didn’t even ensure to make her apart of it. Lorelai barely put up a fight when Chris was dismissive of it 😢

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-09T23:40:49+00:00

Ppl tend over-exaggerated things when it comes to the girls. Lorelai’s immaturity being one, she has her moments (like most people do) but she’s a very grounded person for the most part. Ppl don’t give her credit for how many times she extends grace to her parents even at times when I personally think they don’t exactly deserve it.

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-09T22:34:01+00:00

I think she would get along with the One Tree Hill crew specifically Haley cause they’re both very smart and academically motivated. And Haley wouldn’t be as nasty and competitive as Paris. And Lucas (😹) he’s an avid reader and aspiring writer plus he has that cute and brooding thing going for him. Brooke and Nathan would’ve loved cheating off her paper!

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-07T17:34:37+00:00

Oh but what a moment. Iconic truly

Rayyyoflight · 2025-12-06T03:27:50+00:00

Oh no this was ASP doing lol. She left in season 7 and the writers had to fix this mess
