I really love how many quotes from literature fit them

Can’t really say the same for any other couple I know tbh

Yes, loved that.

God reading these posts rn

Sorry for the huge quoted blocks of text but I had to share

I’ve been in the mood to re-watch their season 4 episodes lately and now want to even more for the sweet angst/pain

The love she felt for Jess was really so much more profound than what she felt for her other love interests

And I’m definitely standing by it being fate that they were both there during the firelight festival

and the parallels are so significant

Quote:

You get the real sense in Season 4 that her feelings for him (still!) are this gaping, hemorrhaging wound that's never been healed or cared for properly, and has only grown more angry and infected. I just think that the depths of her bitterness are a strong indicator of how strong her feelings for him really were. The wretched woundedness in her eyes when he first approaches her at the Firelight Festival! 😫

now this one……… this right here. its not okay. idc what anyone says i will forever love their s4 arc and how messy and painful and wretched and neverending it is for the both of them like oh my god they are never going to escape each other.. everything you said is so so interesting bc YEAH. love just does this sometimes. like is there really any bigger love confession from rory than her admitting she has been obsessing over what jess would say to her if he ever came back that shes been pushing everything down and it keeps coming back up is there any bigger love confession than admitting this one person can hurt you like nobody else can leave you wounded like nobody else can. im like wailing in despair she did look like a wounded animal her big hurt eyes…. even before then. every time she ran into him just. SEEING HIM LOOKING AT HIM its like she can’t breathe when she does it she looks at him in such a strange hurt way. another thing is that i really don’t think rory believed jess when he said i love you. rory’s a very logistical person (with the emotional intelligence of a bag of rocks) she always has been and she’s always defined love in a very specific way, always understood it in a very specific way. and i don’t think she could even understand the breadth of what she felt for jess much less what he felt for her. what she says about dean after they sleep together is so. illuminating it makes me insane. aren’t you glad it happened with someone who really loves me? I CANT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT ITS TOO MUCH. EVERYTHING SHE DID WAS ABOUT HIM… all she can understand is that whatever jess has left her with is PAINFUL and that can’t be love it can’t be love when he turns and runs away from her and when he gets in his car and drives away from her and when he shows up out of nowhere and asks her to come with him. I CAN’T HELP IT, I’M IN LOVE WITH HIM. LOVE, HUH? jesus christ.

the fact that jess came back to stars hollow on the same weekend that rory came home from yale like. this was ****ing fate you cannot convince me otherwise. he could’ve come back any other weekend to get his car back or not even in the weekend itself like on a random day but the fact that he came back on the weekend with the winter festival where a boy broke her heart 3 years ago because she didn’t said “i love you” to him VS the same ****ing festival he showed up 3 YEARS LATER to tell her that he loves her and not expected anything in return he just wanted her to know AKESJRDJDJ I’m a mess

they are just mad crazy insane…. the firelight festival and its strong meta connotations w love oaushssush… dean said i love you expecting something and jess said it just to say it bc he meant to say it a long time ago. the way that luke told jess to stay away and jess TRIED TO but they kept ENDING UP IN THE SAME PLACES!!!!!! MOTHS TO A FLAME!!!!!!! seeing rory FORCED jess to take the money w him instead of giving it back to luke bc he couldnt help it he had to talk to her he never could just see her and not talk to her. even when she hated him she unintentionally made him better forced him to take care of himself bc lbr jess NEEDED that money and he wasnt going to drive back to stars hollow to give it back bc he was too afraid of running into her again. THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS…

re-that link to that article you shared

I personally would say that Jess was always right for Rory but I would say so he was more emotionally ready to be in a committed relationship in season 6

Quote:

That the only reason Jess and Rory were both at Weston's was because they were both trying to avoid Luke's, and they were both avoiding Luke's diner specifically to avoid seeing each other... but they both had the same idea... 😫

Oh yes

Litlover73 · 01-03-2023, 04:12 PM

Oh wow yes…and of course they were both naturally drawn to the bookstore but he tried to hide in the corner on the floor.

atwoodsmariano · 01-03-2023, 05:05 PM

Oh yes the bookstore too because they both find comfort in literature

So true

Quote:

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW EVERYTHING JESS BECAME LATER ON IS BECAUSE RORY INSPIRED HIM???? SHE TOLD HIM HE COULD BE AND DO ANYTHING HE WANTED TO AND HE BECAME A BETTER PERSON BECAUSE OF HER!!!!! I AM SOBBING HONESTLY!!!!! HE WROTE A BOOK ALL BECAUSE OF HER INFLUENCE AND BELIEF IN HIM!!!!!

Now that we have had the revival and it gave a very clear indication that there is a chance for these 2 in the future I feel like I can watch these heartbreaking moments with more appreciation of their significance, and not avoid them like the plague. Milo produced an excellent performance in this scene.

atwoodsmariano · 01-04-2023, 05:15 PM

Milo really did some of his best acting in season 4 and I’ll forever stand by that

I’ve always loved watching all their scenes though even the angsty heartbreaking ones like this one

interesting

Just Rory giving Jess heart eyes through season 6 ❤️ | Nothing could convince me that she wasn't still in love with him look at her! We all talk about how Jess looks at her but even still all that time later she still saves a look just for him & no one else! 🥺❤️

This is cute

Thanks for the latest.

That's interesting about the 'Dodger' scene. But that makes sense.

Litlover73 · 01-06-2023, 02:59 PM

The way these 2 look at each other in season 6 is just magic. They are glowing
