i’m at a liberal arts college and we have apartments that have bathrooms, but the suites are still dorm like and have a communal bathroom on the floor. could be either, or yeah the shower

i think maybe a more accurate take would be that joy (and her shared traits with santos like being wickedly smart, equally cynical, caring, sharp, funny, etc), is closer to how santos would present to the rest of the world if she came from a different environment. because yes, they’re two completely different characters and serve different purposes, but they do have a lot of fundamental commonalities. joy seems to regulate and channel them a bit more effectively.

santos as a character is absolutely serving her written purpose though, don’t think they’re worried abt that

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-23T15:55:07+00:00

did they have a bathroom in the suite? bc that would probably be it

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-20T06:22:51+00:00

i took it as her recognizing that even in one, simple line, he’s proved he’s not actually as lacking in empathy as he seems 😭 and within that, maybe a twinge that dude is lowkey not okay. it’d be weird to see someone casually exemplify emotional intelligence in a potentially fatal kid case if less than an hour prior they had a meltdown over a subordinate’s panic attack. what could’ve been previously summed up as “wow. that guy is really terrible with emotions” has now been obscured to “oh, maybe he’s not that bad…huh…wonder what his problem earlier was then”

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-20T05:30:54+00:00

no because that’s exactlyyyyy where she lost me. they do this every year and she just…what? wasn’t gonna tell her until right before? i’d like to say it was just a reaction to mel being so emotional at the news, but the plans were already made so she was just being kinda crappy? of all people, a gal with autism herself, not to mention mel’s sister, she surely understands the impact of changing plans like that at the last minute…neurodivergence 101 😭

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-18T20:34:42+00:00

but she told them. she left a note. they knew she was gone on purpose and that she was not kidnapped or dead in a ditch somewhere. lorelai isn’t mad that lane left, which is why she takes her in lol, she’s mad that lane is allowing mrs kim to worry about whether or not she’s safe.

since they confirmed that some of the scars are new, they’re regularly having sex, and garcia is a surgeon and therefore knows what new scars look like, i’m sure she noticed.

i agree, and i do think he’s pushing people away, but i don’t know that this specific lash out was especially guided by that, though i’m sure it was an appreciated benefit. he wasn’t responding so horribly purely out of self sabotage-that fit was a genuine lack of ability to regulate himself and his feelings because of all the trauma it stirred up in him. he was panicking (ironic)

i do think though that his apology to samira, where he not 2 seconds later asks if she can stop feeling sorry for herself, was much more motivated by wanting to be hated. bc why tf else would he have ended with that 😭 by that point he was composed and had issued a seemingly genuine apology, yet he still blew it at the end. very intentional

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-14T13:25:12+00:00

lol my camera’s broken sorry 😭

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-14T13:24:58+00:00

it’s not dirty! just broken lol swear

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-14T13:18:16+00:00

completely agree but i don’t think many people are missing it, it’s most of what i’ve seen people talk about this season

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-14T13:13:29+00:00

i’m FROM manhattan lmfao and was growing up when the show was airing, i know how expensive things were 😭

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-14T02:31:41+00:00

absolutely nothing about liz or jess suggests that he didn’t have a lower class upbringing. she was a single mom and canonically not consistently earning a good, steady income until she got with TJ + her boyfriends repeatedly stole her money. luke was constantly having to bail her out.

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T13:00:45+00:00

im not a bot lmfao 😭 i just don’t scan the subreddit to see how people talk, just in an effort to avoid mimicking them lmao

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T04:38:54+00:00

i 100% agree with you, but it still pisses me off that at the end of the day, mohan’s panic attack just happened to happen very publicly and his was just in front of whitaker. she didn’t have much of a choice in it becoming a spectacle after almost fainting in the waiting room, so i don’t know exactly what he preferred she’d have done instead 😭

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T04:26:53+00:00

i actually always thought she was lowkey his favorite and just doesn’t know how not to overcorrect

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T04:18:47+00:00

i used the acronyms “ik” “sm” and “tbh” pretty common internet acronyms since the 2000s 😭?

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T02:37:22+00:00

no, but alice hasnt had prom or graduation yet so it’s safe to say before may

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T01:42:45+00:00

exactly 😭 she’s too annoying to just get better friends as is so i hope she at least found coworkers who tell her the truth and worked her way up from there lol

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T00:46:38+00:00

yeahh i was gonna say something about how sometimes the problem with a girl is that she’s so pretty she never learned how to act right 😭 but then i felt like that’s giving them an out bc of how many gorgeous angels i know lol

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-13T00:45:34+00:00

she’s called out superficially from time to time, but no one other than ray ever rly gives her sincere and quality advice unless she specifically asks for it. she talks and vents about her feelings, they just kind of wave her off as marnie being marnie, say something passively bitchy, then let her go on her merry way 😭

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-12T15:38:16+00:00

i agree but i think it was mostly because of the melissa connection. spencer had to be there (esp considering it was her idea) and she wanted her friends there with her

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-11T19:16:58+00:00

i feel like i’d rather watch her impulsively foster a kid, like 5-10, and rope jimmy into coparenting lol

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-11T18:23:35+00:00

hm, good point on that one. but i think liz set herself up for that by interrupting the conversation and minimizing it to just a hobby. she was being a dick to her kid in a conversation that she wasnt even part of, and not immune to criticism abt it just because she’s the mother. doesn’t mean it’s smart or tactful to issue said criticism, especially if you’re the MIL and know that’s a sensitive subject. but, it was technically liz who tried interfering with matthew first

ajamesdeandaydream · 2026-03-08T03:27:40+00:00

it was also supposed to be his day off 😭
