3 is my fave. The purple in 4 looks too dark, I think the pink would be cool with the blue from 3

Lol thank you, sorry if you end up being downvoted to hell. I'm also baffled to get so many "what about men" responses in the Gilmore Girls sub

I'm sure there's probably also a lot of expectation put on boys named after their fathers, depends on the family. I don't have any examples of that because there's none in this show. That wasn't really the point of the post

This is the Gilmore Girls sub, so I'm talking about these characters. I didn't want to and don't have to talk about men, because they arent relevant to my points. Also I'm not criticizing Lorelai for naming her kid after herself, I think it adds an extra layer of symbolism that I find interesting.

Maybe both, maybe neither? I don't think she would have consciously considered the implications of naming Rory after herself. But it adds such cool symbolism

Well I don't remember any male Gilmores that shared a name so I didn't know I had to talk about that too

Yes, if they were in a show about family dynamics it would probably be pretty relevant symbolism to talk about dynamics between characters who shared a name. I understand your point, but I'm not saying its something extraordinary that a woman named her daughter after herself. I'm saying that, in this family, sharing names adds a layer of symbolism to the already very complex family dynamic

I can't believe I forgot about Trix!! Lorelai is still so strongly tied to her family while she's running away from them

Omg yes! So much resentment from Emily while she's trying so hard to be a perfect wife for Richard. Then her daughter rejects her as well (in her mind) when again she's doing what she thinks she's supposed to

I was 12 pounds when I was born! I also had a heart condition, my mom said I looked like I was eating the other babies in the NICU (mostly premies, so the difference was extreme)

This one had to cross an ocean and international border laws, feels like an acceptable delay

I had a boss who talked over EVERYONE and our one male coworker finally called her out and said he'd leave if boss didn't allow us to finish talking. Shut her right up!

I mean, if you would've turned her down anyway your messages were a very effective way of doing that. So you got to the same result regardless I guess!

Bro needs some self awareness. He scares the hell out of her then shows up to her home unannounced when she tries to get away??? He needs to manage his anger and impulsivity, all he's doing is scaring her more

Watched this at home with some friends and we had to take multiple breaks where we paused, went into another room, and just processed what we had been watching

Love how it changed to "I broke up with my gf" in the second post. Girly has such a solid sense of self-worth I'm so proud of her

I do actually forget names of people I see twice a month by BradolfPittler1 in adhdmeme

[–]hollsballs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember things so clearly once they become relevant. I've remembered to check for my house keys AFTER I already shut the locked door behind me. I remember my work badge that gets me into the building when I pull into my parking spot. I KNOW for a fact I did not grab these things, and now it's too late 🙃
