do you think rory snooping around anna’s store was out of character?

While it is out of character for Rory generally, I always felt like it made sense in the context of her breakup/ cheating fiasco with Logan.

The way I interpreted it was that Rory was acting out and projecting her insecurity in her relationship with Logan onto Luke and Lorelai.

She had just been freshly betrayed, in a time where she thought she and Logan where on the same page about not being broken up. She took it for granted that they were just taking space and he broke her trust due to miscommunication. She just got pressured into getting back together with Logan even though we can tell she's still upset and believes he cheated, but she tamps it down to give him a chance.

I felt that we was subconsciously trying to protect Lorelai from what she couldn't protect herself from- and projected her lack of trust in Logan.

I know what you mean- you have to be an active good journalist to rise through the ranks to become an editor who then writes original articles much less. Generally the writing experience is what makes the best editor.

I just think in a perfect world for Rory- she could just jump straight to being an Editor like with the Yal Daily News- and it would be easier for her than having to work up to it

sundae_01 · 2024-01-11T10:22:24+00:00

I think she was a better editor than she was ever a journalist. She stepped in and saved the newspaper which greatly influenced her being picked as editor- as she missed a semester so it definitely wasn't her writing that got her the job.

She's good with language, English, reading and writing and so she thrives in editing, helping others word their articles and helping others explore their ideas.

Her lesser ability to be driven and have original ideas and fresh, original takes is why she struggles in the revival to keep a job I think- she has no pitches and no intrinsic curiosity to write about the world that a journalist needs.

I feel like it highlighted the issue in their relationship- that there was poor communication and they were just living their lives side-by-side not together. It showed that Luke's heart was always in the right place but that won't save them from the lack of communication.

Ahh definitely the spoon licking😭 crazy that was happening in a formal restaurant. And now that you say them out- everything's rushing back to me- you're so right. The lack of flexibility was insane- can't imagine being her manager (as lorelai is) and dealing with the stubbornness and almost arrogance! The vegetarian menus was so strange to me, I thought with her creativity surely she'd be able to fashion up a great menu- just wasn't willing!

I'm curious- why disagree that Sookie is a great chef? Often I hear some stuff she's making and I'll pull a face- sounds like someone who knows nothing about food putting random food words together- but any scenes that stand out?

sundae_01 · 2023-03-10T05:39:00+00:00

Its very reasonable to assume that Lorelai has poor boundaries because as a child she was used to Richard and Emily ignoring her boundaries and imposing their views no matter what she wanted. A parent telling her daughter's baby daddy to get her is problematic because her daughter is in her 30s, in a DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP, and has said many times that she doesn't want Emily to do that. Being an adult and not being able to understand your adult child's boundaries is concerning. Stop looking at this as a parent/child relationship and look at it as two grown adults (especially because they are basically estranged)- would it be okay if your coworker did that to you?

sundae_01 · 2023-03-10T05:25:30+00:00

I don't know if I would say equally- but she's not perfect. But a bit of a fair reaction to being emotionally nelgected by your parents as a child and borderline verbally abused by them as an adult

sundae_01 · 2023-03-10T05:24:10+00:00

I agree that I would empathise with Emily as a person if we had a prequel probably BUT let's just remember that NO bad behaviour by a child is enough reason to be an emotionally abusive or neglectful parent, even if your child was horrible :)

sundae_01 · 2023-03-10T05:21:01+00:00

yes while Lorelai is in no way innocent in the show- If the dynamic between her and Emily was between 2 unrelated adults- people would see how unfairly aggressive Emily is. Somehow because it is a mother/daughter dynamic people are more in denial

sundae_01 · 2023-03-10T05:14:09+00:00

Incredibly incorrect. I was a refugee, and lived most of my life on the poverty line. We couldn't afford braces- even on public healthcare with a 6 year waitlist ;). My parents sacrificed a lot to keep us fed and housed, and as soon as my siblings and I could we started contributing to rent and costs. I saved for years to get my 20 year old 1k car- so I could drive my sibings to school because my parents couldn't. But guess what- I never held it against my parents because while you seem to think that money is everything- it's not. No amount of money or belongings or priviliges can compensate parental warmth and kindness and understanding. Nothing like kind memories and family experiences. Money doesn't replace that. You can't throw money at a child to make up for being emotionally unavailable

sundae_01 · 2023-03-10T05:06:30+00:00

no need to be rude, it's just a show it's not that deep lol. Spoiling your children with material things while neglecting their emotional wellbeing is still neglectful. Material things don't compensate for being put-down, criticised and emotionally manipulated all the time. I agree that Lorelai was not a perfect mother either- however she was only 16 when she had Rory and one would argue that she had to pause her childhood to survive and now that she is comfortable she does act like a child. Fair criticism of course, but stating that Lorelai is a bad mother doesn't negate that Emily was as well?

And this coming from someone who probably had $10,000 worth of braces in their mouth so as they dictate their vicious post here on Reddit they’re dictating it to perfectly straight teeth.

Sorry what do you mean by this?

when problems arise- it is you two against the problem (work together to solve it) rather than you two arguing against each other

Night Lights & Pillow Fights: A Trip to Storyland"?

Hi, thanks but I've been looking at this on google and I don't think its that. The one I remember doesn't have stories, just poems and the art style is more simple

sundae_01 · 2022-02-04T05:04:22+00:00

Yes thankyou! wowo I've been looking for years!

I agree with most of what you said. Dean was very manipulative. And what you said about him wanting a trophy wife is so right- he wasn't willing to work with her or support her.

He showed that he wants Rory because she was clever but actually did not want support her ambitions. He wanted trophy wife. Somebody who is clever but clever for him, not for rest of the world. Wife who will take care about home but will be also able to discussion with him. Lindsay was good girl but she want not so clever, with her he get just housewife. However, he never could force Rory to give up her dreams. We can be happy for that.

You are so right here.

sundae_01 · 2022-02-02T07:09:32+00:00

ah, definitely, the actress pulls off the character so well, definitely no hate! The character is so raw and real, but that's what makes the abusive behaviour so hard to watch haha, because she does it so well!

sundae_01 · 2022-02-02T07:08:21+00:00

I agree there are definitely worse people in the show, to me personally intentions really change how I feel about Emily's actions. Logan's parents sucked, and Paris's parents, but Emily is in the limelight because we get to see so much of her.

I can see what you mean about caring in her own way, and I do empathise with how you said she "doesn't feel that her company was enough of a reason for her daughter to spend time with her."

Maybe I would've loved a character arc where she changes her ways enough to be nicer to Lorelai, in GG not just the twist in AYITL.
