I AM IN THE MAGICAL LAND OF CANADA WITH MY AUNTIE AND COUSINS AND MY DEAREST COUSIN HAS ALL THE RIGHT OPINIONS (upon her declaration of love for Klaus/Caroline I hugged her so tight she started giggling all over me) BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS
THE IMPORTANT THING IS
THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GILMORE GIRLS AND THE SHAMEFUL SIN THAT IS LOGAN AND HOW WE BOTH WERE TERRIBLY CONFUSED WHY MARTY/RORY WASN'T A THING AND WHAT A DAMN SHAME THE WORLD IS AND ALSO HOW RORY/JESS ARE JUST NEVER IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND THEY KEEP DEVELOPING AT DIFFERENT RATES AND HAVING TO WAIT FOR EACH OTHER TO CATCH UP AND
*GASP*
SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW OBVIOUSLY MARTY/RORY WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER AND HOW BIG>OBVIOUSLY JESS/RORY WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER AND MY COUSIN (FOR SHE IS SO VERY WISE) SAID::
"WELL I KINDA JUST SEE MARTY AND RORY BEING TOGETHER FOR A FEW YEARS AND IT BEING REALLY SERIOUS AND GOOD BUT EVENTUALLY SHE'LL END UP WITH JESS"
AND THEN I SPAZZED OUT
BECAUSE WIDOWED-JESS WITH THREE CRAZY DAUGHTERS WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES AND HE THINKS THAT HE'S DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB AND IS LIKE THE BEST DAD EVER AND RORY COMES IN AND IS LIKE 'LOL THESE LITTLE GIRLS OWN YOU, DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO DAD???
AND DIVORCED-RORY ON AMICABLE TERMS WITH MARTY B/C THEY ARE STILL GOOD FRIENDS/BESTIES AND REALLY GOOD AT CO-PARENTING THEIR SON AND DAUGHTER
AND I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT YET WHY A DIVORCE AND WHY RORY/JESS ARE IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AT THE SAME TIME, BUT IT WOULD BE SUPER CUTE IF HE BROUGHT THE GIRLS BACK HOME TO GET LUKE'S (AKA: BEST GRANDPA EVER) HELP WITH THE GIRLS BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO START PUBERTY SOON AND JESUS, LUKE I AM JUST NOT READY FOR THAT
BUT THEN HE ABSOLUTELY FALLS IN LOVE WITH RORY'S KIDS WITHIN LIKE SECONDS OF MEETING THEM AND THEN RORY COMES FROM AROUND THE CORNER ALL PUT-TOGETHER AND PRISTINE AND HE'S LIKE
MY TIME HAS COME!
AND THE FIVE SIBLINGS ARE IMMEDIATELY ENRAPTURED WITH EACH OTHER AND KEEP TRYING TO PARENT TRAP RORY AND JESS MUCH TO LORELAI'S AMUSEMENT AND LUKE'S UNDYING SUPPORT
AND MEANWHILE MARTY KEEPS GETTING THESE MIDNIGHT PHONE CALLS FROM HIS YOUNGEST DAUGHTER CATCHING HIM UP ON ALL THE HILARIOUS DRAMA AND FINALLY HE'S LIKE
"RORY GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND JUST KISS THAT MAN ALREADY"
AND SHE'S LIKE
WHAT
AND EVERYONE ELSE IS LIKE
DUH
AND JESS IS LIKE
YO
AND THAT'S IT.
That's as far as I've gotten into the worldbuilding for this but it's a story that is very important to me. I need child names and personalities and for Pomegranates to actually have a plot and then I WILL START IT!
OKAY I WAS NOT READY FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY DO THIS TO ME
SO IN NO ORDER WHATSOEVER:
+ KLAUS/CAROLINE LOVE, BLESS EVERYONE, REALLY
+ i wanna talk to you about logan btw, i think i've always had less logan hate then fandom, heck, i ship rory/logan sometimes so i just wanna know what is it you think him a sin and i can then proceed to ponder my attitude towards him. tho i hope i discover that there is more than "he is pretty" that i like about him. i hate having a thing for the bad boy persona, i am weak
+ MARTY/RORY, I BOW TO YOU, BABE. I WAS SERIOUSLY SO SO SO UTTERLY CONFUSED BY THE SHOW NOT GIVING ME MARTY/RORY? LIKE, THEY WERE SO PRETTY TOGETHER AND LOVELY AND I WAS LEGIT SURE IT WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. AND THEN IT TURNED OUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING WHILE I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING? IT WAS A V. WEIRD EXPERIENCE, MARTY/RORY.
+ BUT YES, WATCHING THEM FOR A WHILE AND THEN JESS/RORY YES, THAT WOULD BE SO UNBEARABLY LOVELY.
+ I LOVE YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE STORY, YOU REALLY DO NEED A GOOD DIVORCE EXPLANATION, GUH. THIS IS HORRIBLE. ALSO YOU'RE MAKING ME WANNA REWATCH SEASON 4, EARLY COLLEGE YEARS. THO CAN I SURVIVE THE DEANNESS OF IT ALL. dean imho was a sin as well
+ BUT HM. THE DIVORCE. ~DIFFERENCES? JOBS? MARTY FINDING HIS OTHER SOULMATE?
SORRY I REALLY JUST LOVE TALKING ABOUT THIS NOT SORRY AT ALL
+ KLAUS/CAROLINE I MEAN IT WAS JUST THE BEST TALK EVER
+ idk my feelings on logan are very 'well dean was the worst but what does rory actually see in you?' and also 'BUT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MARTY ARE YOU SERIOUS' and are also very highly I totally understand after a lifetime of your mom not wanting you to be involved in the class structure that your grandparents and intellectual peers (aka Paris) belong to, that Logan is a totally legitimate exploration of that world and a coming to grips with what that world would mean for you but then ultimately I think the episode when Jess comes to see Rory and it's like *wham* who even is Rory when she is with Logan? she's not the girl I fell in love with in season one and that's normal and natural, but also so frustrating to sit through - because I didn't feel like Logan treated her very well, but I also totally get why she thought this was a good thing. And after Lorelai being so damn controlling and hyper-active in her life all the time, it is a relationship that makes sense, but I don't see it as being healthy
+ honestly 900% of my Logan-angst probably comes back to
BUT MARTY
I live in a state of utter daily confusion that Marty/Rory isn't canon. Like. They argue like old marrieds, they are compatible, they are totally in-sync. I just love them.
+ I'M SO GLAD YOU LOVE THIS NOT EVEN WRITTEN YET STORY
+ I'm leaning towards a career shift with Marty/Rory - something where they were super comfortable and everything was ~fine and then he/she had to move away and they did long distance for a while and after a couple of years were like: 'we'll always be best friends and we'll always put our kids first, but it isn't fair to keep holding on to each other' and also a little bit of 'we are so terribly compatible that we don't challenge each other enough and that was great for a first marriage and I'm so glad that we are parents together, but we are also totally okay being apart, too'
Like originally I wanted it to be about Rory getting a job in California and moving to a new place and finding Jess there, but it makes more sense that she and Jess are both back in their hometown together at the same time. Possibly even with hilarious 'we live in the same house' hijinks for a little while.
I just really want happiest-grandpa!Luke with five kids ruining his life and Lorelai like 'woah you have never been cheerful in your life until this moment' and him totally having no impulse control and being so happy all the time and freaking everyone out.
I want a passel of kids to own Luke and terrorize Miss Patty and parent trap Rory and Jess and the whole town thinking it's the cutest thing to ever happen and Rory/Jess to be clueless but also dopey in love like....
I just want happiness Doris.
And I don't think I can do this justice until I do a rewatch so that I have all the characters right but in the meantime:
Jess has three daughters, 12, 9, 7 Rory has a 10yr old boy and a 4yr old girl
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES???
WHAT ARE THEIR INTERESTS?
I secretly want the oldest girl (or middle girl?) to be super ~sporty and for Rory and Jess to constantly be like o_O what are sports?!?!? and for Lorelai to think this is the best thing to ever happen and she paints her face for all the games and is super embarrassing
LIKE JUST THINK OF ALL THE POTENTIAL PLOTLINES WITH FIVE KIDS RUNNING AROUND GROWING UP AND BEING INDEPENDENT AND BEING JESS/RORY CHILDREN?!!? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE WONDERFUL AND ENDLESS AND SUPERB!
+ i love jess only having daughters. he must be so confused all the time.
SPORTY GIRL SOUNDS LOVELY. I AM NOW IMAGINING HER AS BLAKE LIVELY IN THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS, FYI
OBVIOUSLY DIVERSITY IS FUN WITH KIDS? sports kids, geek kids, confident kids, self-conscious kids, playful kids, serious kids, there's so many options!
