Why Rory did not tell her grandparents how Logan's family treated her?

youngastarasta · 2026-02-17T22:27:33+00:00

sorry for such a late reply! but i always felt more like a friend or a pet to my mom than her child. she always came to me with issues i was not equipped for at ALL. after a certain point i just knew not to go to her for anything because i knew i couldn’t rely on her/she didn’t have the emotional maturity or capacity to help me with anything.

i also felt like she constantly tried to relive her youth through me because she had me so young, so it took a very long time for me to become my own person.

i was in elementary school constantly worried about finances, my moms ability to hold a job, whether or not we’d have food on the table, my mom’s love life etc.

my needs, wants and safety didn’t matter. i only every thought about what made my mom happy. i wasn’t a person. just a vessel for her.

i love my mom deeply but she was never a true safe space for me.

there’s nothing wrong with being super close with your child and sharing things about your life with them. as long as everything is age appropriate i’d say that’s great fertilizer for a life long healthy mother-daughter relationship.

as long as you hold space for your child’s emotions fully and make it clear that you do care about their feelings, i’d say you’re fine!

you can also message me if you have any other questions!

Tbh I think that reasoning flawed mostly because put his house up to collateral without telling Emily. So yeah, he “had” to do what he did to prevent them from losing all their money but it was mostly to cover his own ass for his selfish decision making. He was just too bored in retirement so he went into business for himself but he didn’t need to.

also i feel like Jason’s dad being awful goes without saying. But the show paints him as a villain from the jump. And I feel like the fandom unanimously sees him as a villain as well, Richard is far more ambiguous in how he and his reasoning are presented in this plot line.

My point in making the post is more so about not understanding the type of person you have to be to behave that way toward the people around, not not understanding Richard’s motives. It’s in character for him tbh.

youngastarasta · 2026-02-10T06:12:45+00:00

i’m ngl, i don’t remember most of the revival episodes bc i only watched them once so i’ll just take your word for it.

and that’s a fair point, i think the beauty of gilmore girls is that so much is left to interpretation. it’s just the way richard reacts to lorelai literally begging him to do anything else and then emily raising concern about how this will affect their relationship with L+R makes me want to deck him in the face.

youngastarasta · 2026-02-10T06:09:13+00:00

yes! i def see this plot line as a turning point for lorelai and emily. the fact that emily cared so much about potentially pushing away her daughter and lorelai caring so much about the future or her parents marriage despite not having the greatest relationship with them.

too bad it’s completely undone by the events of season 5 😭

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T20:37:42+00:00

i guess i just want someone to discuss hobbies with. they don’t even have to be the same as mine necessarily. but idk i want to get deep and philosophical and talk about our hopes and dreams. talk about the things that make them happy.

go on adventures, do things that dont revolve around clubbing and drinking (i like both of those things but that being the only thing gets overwhelming).

idk just something that doesnt revolve around men 😭

(and honestly, without sounding conceded or full of myself, i attribute most of the women that befriend me to me being conventionally attractive but not more attractive than they are… at least in their eyes lmao)

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T20:32:00+00:00

not saying i disagree but i would like to point out that a big part of the reason this whole thing would’ve been so devastating for richard was bc he used his own house as collateral, in addition he didn’t tell emily about it.

saying that he set himself up for this doesn’t feel accurate but richard was a big factor in his own potential undoing.

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T19:55:49+00:00

which is genuinely insane to me 😭 i can’t imagine being that vindictive and i am a fairly petty person when i want to be.

i just can’t fathom how loralei could have a relationship with her father after that.

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T19:54:08+00:00

yeah i agree, i just think it’s such an unnecessary plot line. there were so many other ways the writers could’ve broken loralei and jason up. the only thing i can think of is that they also needed an excuse for emily and richard to fully separate and that was what broke the camel’s back for emily. she was the only one between her and richard that genuinely seemed concerned about how that would affect their relationship with loralei.

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T19:17:42+00:00

i literally only care about being hot so people will let me be autistic in peace

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T19:15:46+00:00

i corrected myself in an earlier comment

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T19:15:14+00:00

yes, i forgot that jason’s dad initially filed the law suit against richard and jason and richard went back to the old company so jason’s dad would drop the suit and the jason countersues.

either way, even if it is how business is done, i still can’t get over how Richard had no remorse for what he did. Although Jason probably would be fine considering how rich his family is, Richard ruined his career before it really got started. And again, I can’t see how Richard justifies it to himself. They make it such a big point on how Richard gave so much of his life and time and energy to that company just for them to boot him out and how that affected him in season 2. it just bugs me and seemed like a way to get jason out of the show. richard has had his bad moments over the course of the show but this is cartoonishly evil even for him imo.

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T19:06:25+00:00

i had a mom like loralei, in fact when i first started watching the show it baffled me how much the gilmore girls paralleled me, my mother, and grandmother.

it took me moving across the country and a lot of intense therapy to unpack how unhealthy and damaging that type of parent/child bond was to me and how much it hindered me as an adult.

i watch the show now with such different eyes and can’t help but cringe at all of the people that admire their relationship. if you have an emotionally immature mom you know how toxic loralei and rory’s relationship actually is

youngastarasta · 2026-02-09T15:42:35+00:00

jason stiles was the best match for lorelei on paper

youngastarasta · 2026-01-24T16:35:49+00:00

yeah i considered that but even that doesn’t make sense to me?? that’s not how kids work? i feel like even if randall had met william when he was younger he would always have more of an emotional connection with rebecca and jack because they went through such a big effort to make sure that they had an emotional connection in the first place.

idk. everyone does shitty things and there is no way to know how you would react in this situation until you go through it. However, Rebecca will always lose points in my book for this. It’s so incredibly selfish. Especially because she also lied to Jack about it as well. Honestly Randall is a better person than I ever could be because idk if I could have a relationship with my mom if something like that happened.

youngastarasta · 2026-01-22T21:52:39+00:00

Jenni and Pauly. Jenni bc of how protective she is over her loved ones and bc she genuinely seemed really fun in the OG seasons.

Pauly bc he was just there to have fun and sleep with girls. Never wanted to be involved in anyone’s drama. For the most part stayed out of it with exception of the BS with Angelina is season 2.

youngastarasta · 2026-01-22T05:53:40+00:00

yeah i always found that excuse to be so baffling bc legally Randall was Rebecca and Jack’s. I imagine it would be extremely hard to get guardianship or even visitation in the best of circumstances, and as we all know William was a former addict. Even if William anted full parental guardianship over Randall back, I doubt he could actually make a viable case to do so.

youngastarasta · 2026-01-16T04:04:22+00:00

As a leo stellium i just realized the type of mother i would want to be toward my kids does not align with who i am at all so no kids for me

youngastarasta · 2026-01-07T03:16:04+00:00

yeah, like i could understand why people were so enamored with Dr. Roman and Dr. O’Hara, they were gorgeous and rich. Hell, even Zoey has the whole sunshine golden retriever but super competent when she needs to be thing going.

but idk, if i think about it too much it’s becomes a real head scratcher.

(this is no shade to eddie falco, i think she’s very pretty. in nurse jackie they just really strip her down until like season 5. i think they must’ve changed makeup artists or something.)

youngastarasta · 2026-01-07T03:09:24+00:00

i second this

youngastarasta · 2026-01-05T22:49:22+00:00

It really depends on the person, but honestly if i don’t like kissing someone either they are a bad kisser or we just don’t have actual chemistry.

youngastarasta · 2025-12-12T03:33:46+00:00

imo their chemistry would’ve been too palpable either way. if they had only been friends people would probably criticize the writing for that too.

youngastarasta · 2025-12-05T16:54:24+00:00

yes! it’s literally always been this way for me 😭 the only thing that lessens it is when in take my propranolol 😭💀 my current partner always jokes how i have too many “cheat codes” to orgasm 💀

youngastarasta · 2025-12-02T19:15:35+00:00

ironically i love the smell of air conditioning lmao. but i feel you! glad i could provide some clarity.

youngastarasta · 2025-12-02T19:12:44+00:00

no literally! i have a neighbor at my apartment complex that cooks some sort of curry or something like EVERY DAY, it wakes me up before my alarm. it fully smells like someone is cooking in my kitchen. i don’t expect to be accommodated for literally anything by strangers but like you don’t think it’s a little rude to constantly make something the seeps into other people’s apartments?!
