Ernest only has lovely things to say about you

I don't wanna talk to anybody else. I don't like anybody else.

NO ANON THIS TAKE IS SO CORRECT!!!! jess never does anything to make her feel smaller or less than him, he never demeans her, he never degrades her. like you said, he does leave, but i truly believe that came down to him thinking he wasn’t good enough for her, not the other way around. he’s definitely the kind of guy to treat her as an equal. it’s established that he values her opinion and wants to make an effort to be better for her (like spending time with lorelai, or going to the dinner with emily and agreeing to go again even after it was bad—not even dean did that). i think what jess really needed was a better sense of self worth and once he obtained that he was like, the perfect guy for rory. he found himself, he discovered his niche, and that gave him confidence. the lack of those things were really what broke down their original relationship. but anyway, not to get off topic bc ur right: he has always prioritized her and respected her ambitions, unlike dean (who made her feel like shit about wanting to go to harvard) and unlike logan (who encouraged her to ‘loosen up’ and mess around more, which ultimately lead to a really low point for her). i’m firmly in the camp that him asking her to go to NY with him in s4 had nothing to do with ‘leaving yale’. he was proud of rory for going there, so why on earth would his opinion change? i really, really think he was just worried about what the hell dean’s intentions were given his marriage to lindsay, and he wanted a chance to recreate that day in NY they’d had before + talk and smooth things over. he said they had to get away because of how much meddling had gone on before in their relationship, which really influenced their trajectory as a couple. plus yale is literally like an hour and a half from NY and they were out for summer break, so i don’t think he had any ill-intentions (though i do still stand by rory for turning him down, it was a smart move on her part). anyway. god. yeah. i think at the end of the day jess is the only bf of rory’s who truly admired her for her intellect and passion, and instead of wanting her to be more like him he just wanted her to be herself.

She sniffles and wipes her eyes with her other hand, mumbling, “Thanks, Jess.”

I never thought of that omg but I love it?? love it in that heart wrenching painful way where it depresses the hell out of me but in a good way. it’s just. god. he loved her so much and he knew they were right for each other but it’s the goddamn timing and the way the world conspired against them and he was. so desperate to right his wrongs but he couldn’t do that in their current situation. fuck I am not stable enough for this

oh my god?? you’re right?? hendnfnf it makes me a little bit insane to think about all the care that was put into establishing how deep their love ran like. this feels so deliberate the costume department was clearly team literati
