I think I see Alexis's shoulder on the right there. The things that excite me is getting a bit sad.

that’s such a nice picture of Milo and Lauren together and that is her shoulder

**Lindsay** · 03-17-2019, 02:11 PM

Very nice pic of those two! On a side note, I loved Lauren's hair that color. I like it when it's darker. I think it was too light for me in the revival.

So handsome! And yes, his eyes are gorgeous.

You know, I don’t know how many people I’ve heard say that they can’t stand Jess because he’s just this conglomeration of tired “bad boy” cliches…and they’ll even mention the tameness of what makes him “bad.” And they don’t see it. They don’t see that really isn’t who he is at all. All of those things are the camouflage. You know why Jess ticks all of those trite, outdated, vaguely-but-not-really “bad” check-boxes? Because the hoodlum/screw-up/bad boy/rebel is somebody you take at face value and don’t expect anything good from. And that is exactly what Jess Mariano wanted. He wanted people to dismiss him. He wanted to deflect their attention, and he didn’t want them expecting for him not to screw up. He assumed that no matter how hard he tried, he would always screw everything up, and people would always hate him and either leave him or drive him away. So it was better to start things out that way and not get anyone’s hopes up, including, and especially his own.

But, none of that is who he was.

Inside, he has all the love and loyalty and steadfastness of Luke Danes…the insane work ethic, the determination, the instinct to protect and do everything for the people he loves…the humility and disdain for the spotlight…the small everyday helpful gestures. Everything people love about Luke is there, on the sly, in Jess. He only needed the emotional safety and the maturity (which, despite the many ways in which he legitimately ought to have been stunted, flourished younger than most) to be able to let it shine.

These observations are courtesy of my reading “Crawling Back” by Yikkety…and particularly the quote, Rory speaking to Luke: “I know, but Jess isn’t really the person he makes everybody think he is,” she smiled guiltily; “he’s a lot like you.”

What a great analysis of our boy. It's so easy to take him at face value, but scratch beneath the surface and he is a complex, fascinating character

I didn't know there were books.

Nice Jess aesthetic.

Litlover73 · 03-20-2019, 09:58 PM

That is nice, but never really thought yellow was Jess's colour

. Much too bright and happy for him.
