100 ways to say “I love you” Gilmore Girls edition

❛  You’re still a contender.  ❜

❛  Ernest only has lovely things to say about you.  ❜

❛  This thing we’re doing here? Me, you. I’m in. I’m all in. ❜

❛  If you jump, I jump, Jack. ❜

❛  I’m ready for this. You can count on me now.  ❜

❛  Think of how dull your life would be without me.  ❜

❛  I don’t want to talk to anybody else. I don’t like anybody else. ❜

❛  You looked it up!  ❜

❛  You really did only like me for my looks, huh?  ❜

❛  If you come with me, I won’t get on the plane.  ❜

❛  Because you’re special.  ❜

❛  If all else fails, you can marry rich.  ❜

❛  I don’t know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her. ❜

❛  You’re the greatest kid in the world.  ❜

❛  You’ve given me everything I need.  ❜

❛  You are important.  ❜

❛  We could go to a bookstore. I’ll watch you browse for six or seven hours. ❜

❛  I know you better than anyone. This isn’t you. ❜

❛ It is what it is… You, me. ❜

❛ All I can say it, you’re lucky I’m back in your life because clearly you were lost without me. It’s a miracle you’re even still alive, right?  ❜

❛  She gave my picture out ‘cause she thinks I need a man.  ❜

❛  Doesn’t matter what time it is. I’ll always be around.  ❜

❛  It’s like my life isn’t even real to me unless you’re there and you’re in it and I’m sharing it with you.  ❜

❛  I promise I will dance just as spazzy as you will.  ❜

❛  Is everything okay?  ❜

❛  You’re full of hate and loathing and I love it. ❜

❛  It’s so good to have someone to share this hate with.  ❜

❛  Will you just stand still?  ❜

❛  Will you marry me?  ❜

❛  I like looking at you.  ❜

❛  I’m sorry about that. You want to push me in the lake? It’s cathartic, I hear.  ❜

❛  I just wanted to put some notes in the margins for you.  ❜

❛  I can’t catch my breath.  ❜

❛  You didn’t say goodbye.  ❜

❛  What? Did you think I wanted to come over here and see you?  ❜

❛  I knew that if you could sit down and stop shaking it around that you could do something like this. I knew it. I knew it.  ❜

❛  C’mon, Ace.  ❜

❛  Right now, I don’t need to do anything but be right here with you.  ❜

❛  I don’t want to stop seeing you.  ❜

❛  You trust me?  ❜

❛  You have to tell me why we’re committing a felony before it do it.  ❜

❛  I even cleaned the table using something other than the sleeve of my sweater and my spit!  ❜

❛  Get back in your pajamas, go to bed, eat nothing but gallons of ice cream and tons of pizza.  ❜

❛  Every relationship is just a big honking leap of faith. ❜

❛  You’re the man I want to want.  ❜

❛  I’ve been looking for the one, that elusive soulmate – I really have. I just believe it’s you. It’s always been you.  ❜

❛  Now repeat after me: I am completely helpless.  ❜

❛  In fact, I demand to die first. Am I clear?  ❜

❛  I’ll get the champagne!  ❜

❛  You know we’re supposed to be together.  ❜

❛  I couldn’t have done it without you.  ❜

❛  I haven’t been able to shake you all these years. We’re going to be friends for a very long time.  ❜

❛  You’re gonna do such great things with your life.  ❜

❛  It takes a remarkable person to inspire all of this.  ❜

❛  I think we should get married.  ❜

❛  How sappy is it going to sound if I say that I’m proud of you?  ❜

❛  You’ll be okay? You’ll go to bed soon?  ❜

❛  I just like to see you happy.  ❜

❛  I’ll make some coffee.  ❜

❛  I’m here. I’m always here.  ❜

❛  I appreciate it – everything – the money, living room.  ❜

❛  I pick you… I pick you! ❜

❛  I made sure she was okay. ❜

❛  I cannot to this alone. I need my mommy and I don’t care who knows it.  ❜

❛  I want you to come over here to this dresser, open up the top drawer, and take out everything that you’d be embarrassed to be wearing during a car accident.  ❜

❛  Stay photogenic, I beg of you.  ❜

❛ I think I’ll miss you most of all.  ❜

❛  I will never leave.  I will never think about leaving.  ❜

❛  The only way out of this is in a body bag.  ❜

❛  I like the new look.  ❜

❛  My life meant nothing until you used my toothbrush.  ❜

❛  You’re in a skirt, keep your knees closed.  ❜

❛  I know,  I looked for one that you hated, but it was really short notice.  ❜

❛  You’re my best friend.  ❜

❛  I haven’t been able to shake you off all these years. We’re gonna be friends for a very long time.  ❜

❛  Don’t you understand that I can’t talk to you because it hurts?  ❜

❛  You have to sleep. It’s what keeps you pretty.  ❜

❛  You should do anything you want. You could be anything you want.  ❜

❛  Come with me.  ❜

❛  I know you couldn’t count on me before, but you can now, you can!  ❜

❛  Just a thing between us.  ❜

❛  Do you want me to have you committed or would you prefer to check yourself in?  ❜

❛  I appreciate it…  everything.  ❜

❛  In a relationship, any relationship, it’s important to let the other person know you appreciate them so you don’t create barriers that delay any hope for reciprocation.  ❜

❛  I’m here. I’m always here. ❜

❛  You can move in with me.  ❜

❛  People can live for one hundred years without really living a minute. You climb up here with me, it’s one less minute you’ve ever lived.  ❜

❛  When that giant asteroid heads towards earth, I want you in that fighter jet.  ❜

❛  I could have lost you.  ❜

❛  You amaze me every day. Everything that you do, everything that you are.  ❜

❛  I don’t know a lot, but I know I want to be with you forever.  ❜

❛  I’m tired of not being around you.  ❜

❛  I’m so proud of you.  ❜

❛  You are very odd, you know that?  ❜

❛  It was a nice kiss – very nice.  ❜

❛  I’d kiss you goodbye, but your boyfriends watching.  ❜

❛  You made me an ice rink?  ❜

❛  It is a big deal. It’s a very big deal.  ❜

❛  You are not failing.  ❜

❛  I love you, you idiot!  ❜

[andrewgarfield-daily]

Andrew Garfield and Teresa Palmer in ‘Hacksaw Ridge’

So then you’re over that, huh?

[ellenarcher]

I can’t believe Jess Mariano named the show Gilmore Girls

[failvillain]

Half of me: Jess and Rory should’ve ended up together

The other half: Jess deserves more than a self absorbed serial cheater

*GILMORE GIRLS SPOILER ALERT*

okay so you know what is grade-a piSSIGN ME OFF about people’s criticisms of gilmore girls a year in the life? (stop reading now if you don’t want spoilers - i’ll tag it accordingly too so that this doesn’t show up on anyone’s dash who’s blacklisted gg spoilers) but the thing that’s really yanking on my fucking chain is that everyone seems to be so uPSET and soo fucking #TRIGGERED by the fact that rory is in her early thirties and she doesn’t have it all figured out, that she doesn’t have a steady job, that she doesn’t have a permanent home, that she isn’t married, and popping trust fund kids out every nine months like clockwork to keep the huntzberger legacy alive whilst still maintaining a perfect figure and pouring herself into size two clothes. people seem to be so upset that she doesn’t know what she’s doing, really, she doesn’t have a two year plan let alone a ten year one, she’s not fully applying her degree in journalism from fucking YALE for crying out loud, how can that be?! WHAT A WASTE! rory gilmore, o perfect one, why oh why isn’t your character pandering to that perfect, together, i-know-exactly-what-i’m-doing persona that everyone, for some reason, thinks a woman should have as soon as she hits thirty (extra brownie points if you achieve this level of togetherness in your twenties). WELL LET ME TELL YOU: BECAUSE LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY. so many people are fucking butthurt about the fact that she doesn’t live in a penthouse on the upper east side of new york with a six figure salary and a chauffeur called anton at her disposal, but let’s get real here for a second: THAT’S. LIFE. shit happens. plans fall apart. desires and dreams fade and change and disappear and THAT’S OKAY. stop feeding in to this really dumbass, rigid notion that unless you’re in your dream job/life by the time you’re 30 then you’re a failure and a disappointment because you’re fucking not omg

tl;dr let me just learn you one thing here right now. it’s okay that rory gilmore is in her thirties and still doesn’t have a crystal clear direction in her life. and you know what? it’s okay that you don’t either.

[beebutts]

gilmore girls has managed to be peak white feminism in the revival where they praise jennifer lawrence and discuss amy schumer and even laud gross ass lena dunham but kick acclaimed korean-american chef roy choi out of their restaurant and to a tire shop???

and i get it, lorelai misses sookie, but when rachel ray came to the dragonfly, they were polite, they had a conversation and lorelai didnt make racially coded remarks about the smell of the ethnic food

that, combined with the plot line where emily finds her maid’s extended family living with her despite not being able to understand anything she’s saying because she speaks in some “unknown language” is bullshit.

[studythenchill-blog]

Gilmore Girls Revival:

Luke: Work, huh?

Jess: Yeah, work.

Luke: So, you're over that?

Jess: Long over.

Interview with Milo for EW:

EW: One cryptic tease you can offer?

Milo: "It’s never over.”

[theinvisibleside]

History repeats itself. Lorelai & Christopher… and Luke. Rory & Logan… and Jess.

[cheaptr1ck]

The book Jess is reading during Fall is called “My Struggle: Book 2: A Man in Love” by Karl Ove Knausgård. How appropriate.

[gilmoresgirls]

“JESS MARIANO was treated so badly on the revival” “i’m so mad jess mariano deserved better” y’all what do you mean? the boy is doing good, working on a job he loves, finally having healthy relationships with his family, being close to luke and actually being comfortable showing emotions/feelings….. if by being “treated bad” u mean he didn’t end up with 3-times-cheating-champion rory gilmore then??? check urself

[malyen0retsev]

However much of a mess this may have been, I have one thing that makes me feel ever so slightly hopeful.

The revival all but confirmed that Literati is real.

The way it was ended was to create a full circle effect. It was to create that parallel with Lorelai’s life. That Rory now was going to raise a baby, be a single mother, because the father of the child ultimately isn’t the right person for her - just as Christopher wasn’t the right person for Lorelai. 

Jess’ look at her through the window at the end? He still loves her. Jess will always love her. Just as Luke always loved Lorelai, whether he admitted it to himself or not. Rory’s true soulmate is the man who never gives up on her, who always wants to help her, no matter what. You can almost guarantee that history will repeat itself with Jess helping with her child, just as Luke helped raise Rory. 

No, I’m not happy. No, this is not the ending I wanted. And yes, after this, in many respects, I actually feel that Jess Mariano deserves better than Rory Gilmore.

But as far as I’m concerned, with all the mirroring they’ve decided to do here, they made it implied very clearly - that Rory and Jess are, and always will be, endgame. That just as it took Lorelai and Luke forever to get there, they got there eventually, because, “it was always meant to be Luke.” 

It was always and will always be Jess for Rory. That is indisputable.
