Rory & Jess | How They Went Through The Same Journey

(+Sub ENG & ITA)
This is not like the fanvids I usually made, it's more a "take a look at their journey" video. It's something I don't make very often, but I've realized only now, after my annual rewatch, how this two went through the same 💩 but in differents time. I think I never noticed it before because I usually stop the watching after S4, (you know, when Rory slept with Dean even if he was married 🤦) and skipping directly to the two episodes in Season 6 when Jess appeared again, lol. That's why I think Jess can understand Rory better than anyone, because he knows what it means when you're completely lost and you have no idea what's gonna do with your life. He went through all this before her, and he knows how hard it is. The only difference is that Jess had to make through it all by himself, Rory had his grandparents who spoiled her, instead of facing her choices and it's consequences alone. And because of that Jess grew up a lot, but Rory not. That's why in the revival she still doesn't know what to do with her life, and that's why she still was immature and reckless. She didn't learn nothing from life because she always had someone who got her back. While Jess was the only one who never sugarcoat things to her, he always said what he really thought even if that would've hurt her. And in the end, he was the only one able to put her in the right path, every. single. time. If that's not soulmatish material, I don't know what it is. The only thing that makes me sad is that in the revival Rory still was so hooked up to Logan. Gosh, not to offend anyone's else taste, but they're so annoying. I do like Matt, but Logan is just the classic boy who looks all sweet and adorable and then you find out he has secretly cheating on you for all your life 😬 Nah, Jess was always the best in my opinion, he wasn't perfect, he had some issues (and mostly with himself) but you can be sure he will never went behind you back. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget that Literati rules, they're soulmates and they were always "supposed to be together" 🤘

He went from: Have a drink to DON’T YOU DARE BLAME ME! so fast, but he told her to sit and have a drink, not once, but twice when she was ranting about dropping out of school and got mad when she talked about how all she does now is party and drink.

It is so sad Jess always thought he was not good enough for Rory . Like in ‘swan song’ when Luke says “she picked you” he replies “god knows why”. The only time he actually knew he could take care of her and knew his worth and asked her to come with him she says she doesn’t want to be with him . He must have been so heartbroken . I love Jess btw 💓💓

[@StardustProductionsOfficial]

I know, right? It's so sad, he always felt like he was unworthy of love 😞 The funny aspect is that now, nobody is worthy of him, lol.

[@victoriab2849]

[@cawesomewhatever]

I mean look at him!! But yeah he also had the best character growth in my opinion. He helped Rory get back on track when she dropped out of Yale and Logan did nothing but yelled at her when she didn’t even accuse him of not doing anything. Logan was a good boyfriend yes he loved Rory enough to change for her and want to marry her, but Jess is the one who pushed her.

[@jordanpearson9883]

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! Everyone talks about how they hate who Rory turned out to be, but I actually feel the opposite. I think she was praised so much for being perfect when she was young that she had to go through all of this when she became an adult. And honestly, seeing how much it mirrors Jess's experiences and how they helped each other through it makes it all so perfect.

[@not-a-ghost2206]

Yes THIS!🙏🙏🙏

[@marrahailly__]

I never agreed this HARD to anyone ever before

[@maaiker2977]

Exactly! To me rory is the female jess...her story just lags his by a couple of seasons thats all. I think jess trauma bonded with rory cause he finally found someone who understands him. Both got abandoned by their fathers while parenting their ditsy dating moms. They have a lot in common, jess understand her...most importantly he sees whats wrong with her when others don't and he is healthy for her. Jess just had his "this is no longer ok. F it! I'm p!ssed" moment before rory did. Rory is a perfectionistic people pleaser....she can't act out or speak her mind. Jess got it out of his system by confronting his dad and reading the self help book. But by suggesting she write a book about her life..aka the feelings she bottled up. He is helping her get it out of her system. And you see her confront her dad and "someone" send emily a nasty letter....cause if emily was a better mother her parents wouldn't have spit up. I love rory unraveling and even the pregnancy (which definitely isn't logans). At her core, rory's perfectionism....a fear to make a mistake...and her people pleasing nature. I think its about Chris abandoning her. Logan is basically chris...with time she will outgrow him/her trauma. And her being pregnant while writing about her childhood. She will be reliving some things. I definitely think jess is the right guy for her....when she gets over her daddy issues. She doesn't need to be perfect with him...just real. And no people pleasing...jess doesn't give a rats A about the opinion of others and teaches her to please herself for once. He is exactly what's healthy for her.

[@cassieclancy9495]

If we get another revival, I hope we find out Jess had a plan in telling her to write her book: 1. He already realizes all of this and waiting for her to see it, too. As she writes and reflects on her life. 2. He used books to draw her in from the beginning. Maybe her book will bring them back together (full circle) 3. He, his company, will publish her book. Working together on this will be the perfect time for him to crank up the charm, build her trust and win her back.

[@tobytheshih-tzu6329]

I know right like Dean is so perfect...all of them on the show had flaws, but he grew up, he was a young troubled kid nobody wanted him, his dad abandoned him, his mom dumped him off on Luke, everyone thought he was a screw up, but he made it on his own with no one else helping him, and he became a better person, and she inspired him, and he inspired her too

[@not-a-ghost2206]

[@tobytheshih-tzu6329]

@@siba1554 I know he would kick things, yell at her all the time, and manipulate her all the time. He even cheated on his wife, and emotionally abused her, and blamed it all on Rory. Dean affected Rory so bad in that way that when she got with Jess she kept asking him if he was mad even after he assured her he wasn't because she was so used to Dean blowing up on her. He made her panic because she lost her bracelet, and yelled at her in front of people, and in public. He was clingy and obsessive. He always love bombed her, and Logan did too because they spoiled her, so she would look past their bad traits. Jess was the only one she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself with. She let Logan run all over her, put up with his drinking habits, he yelled at her in public, leaves her at the restaurant, and slept with his whole sisters bridal party. He watches her as she is falling apart, and does nothing to try to help her. As well as breaking up with her at her graduation in front of everyone, after she said she wasn't ready to get married. Then he has an affair, cheats on his wife, makes her the other woman, knocks her up while he is marrying someone else. Oh yeah real catches! Jess did some messed up things too, like pressuring her to do it, and then leaving town without a word, but he changed, grew up, and bettered himself, then helped her to be better too. Jess and Rory were made for each other!

[@TheConfusedLifeUser21]

Exactly! Logan was with her when she stated losing herself. Dean was with her when she was trying to become herself. Jess was with her through it all. He always knew exactly who she was and who she needed to be. Even when he would leave, he was always the one to come back and not mess anything up. Dean came back but cheated on his wife. Logan came back, but cheated on whoever he was with, and so did she. Jess came back, and sure, he kissed her, but that's when he thought she wasn't with another guy.

[@mishhhya7324]

That why I am saying logan is her Christopher and Jess is her luke

[@inthought02]

I am completely and utterly in love with this because whenever people wanna argue against Jess yelling at Rory about Yale, I just wanna shake them and point them to this entire parallel because THIS!! This is why Jess is the only one who's able to take Rory out of whatever crisis she goes through in life when it comes to her work and her ambition. Because he's faced the same too. I do think that Rory having her mother/grandparents to back her up is partly the fault behind her not really knowing how to face the lack of career goals she has in certain moments, but I also think that it's an issue that she's obviously been put on this path by Lorelai to a certain extent, and was never given the space to fuck up when she was younger because she was always "supposed" to be the model child to a great mom. She has many expectations to fill out as a "good" kid and this ends up spectacularly backfiring on her later in life, whereas Jess was always considered to be a lost cause, so it wasn't until he was at rock bottom in his life (after Rory rejecting him and Luke telling him he won't interfere with his life anymore in season 4), does he begin to pick himself up and use his potential to better his own life, because it's not about pleasing anyone, but about putting his life together in a way that would suit him. While I hate the way the revival made Rory look (I would've been fine if she realized that journalism wasn't for her, I just wish it wasn't paired up with her cheating with Logan AGAIN and that being put in the center of her story more than her career issues), it's clear that this parallel is still valid and she and Jess will always mirror each other in some fundamental way, not just in how they grew up with single mothers (but had opposite upbringings), but in how they fail in certain moments in life, and they use each other's words and encouragement to go forth and become better. This is why Jess saying he "knows her better than anyone" matters, not because Lorelai doesn't know her well, but because he knows that she's a flawed human being who's capable of being imperfect and wrong, and that's ok. She's just gotta know how to not lose herself in the process, and Jess helps her find herself again.

[@inthought02]

I went on a long rant and forgot to just say that I really adore this and I thank you so much for making it. It's so simple but so thorough and the way you place the scenes side by side only further help in showing how similar their stories are, just at different times in their lives. At the end of it, they're kind of in the opposite position of where they started (with Jess being the one with the pompoms, and Rory needing the encouragement) and although the execution of it wasn't the best, this is what makes their story so compelling for me. Thank you again for making this, it's beautiful and I love that it's long

[@StardustProductionsOfficial]

Thank you so much, you really got the point of this video, I was trying to show how they went through a similar journey but in a different time of their lives. They're just so meant to be, and I can't help but feeling sad for the way it all ended up. We deserve to see Rory realizing the she always loved him and that he was the only one for her. We deserve to see Rory succeed as a writer (because clearly the journalism path is not an option anymore) and finding a purpose in her life. And mostly I really want to see them all as an happy family, with Lorelai & Luke and Jess & Rory + her child. Can you imagine Jess raising a child and finally having a family that he never had when he was a kid? God, we could've had it all 😭

I'm still so pissed for what they did to Rory from Season 4 and on. I mean, she deserved better, it pissed me off how she's still so lost even in the revival. They really played dirty on her 😞 At least, they should make another Season to give her a proper ending. Which should be: her writing the story of her life in that book, and while doing it realizing that she has always loved Jess. I can also picture him being the only one there for helping her during her pregnancy. She gives birth, the book will become a hit, and she and Jess will finally get back together. That's how it should end up!

[@StardustProductionsOfficial]

Someone should send the screenshot of this comment to ASP and her husband 😁 Seeing this on the screen? A dream coming true. Btw, I agree about everything you said about Rory, seeing her so lost really hurts me because I've always loved her character till Season 3, then after Jess left she losted herself too. Just a coincidence? I don't think so 😉

[@macaroni1121]

Omg yaaassss (imma just gonna pretend that's the ending)

I always pictured the ending that now that she’s writing a book maybe he’ll be there one to publish it and that’s how they’ll finally be able to reconnect lol

[@paigepommerencke3635]

i think she was praised so much when she was young that she got too full of herself and let all that hard work slip away.

[@cmtaylor531]

I liked the Rory is lost and struggling job prospect wise storyline from the revival. It felt organic and real to me especially as a millennial. She went into journalism which is a hard career even more so with so many papers dying. So I loved to see the career struggle. What I hated was making Rory a horrible person. She had a BF that was butt of jokes in revival we never saw who she cheated on constantly. She was still sleeping with Logan who was engaged or at least with some else (can’t recall). It was like didn’t she learn that lesson didn’t we have the story line already. She at least felt guilty the first time. This time she didn’t even care. That’s just not what I’d expect of Rory. That’s what I hated. She seemed so uncaring about it all that I didn’t care who she ended up with because they would all deserve better then her. Then they end it on some cheap cliffhanger where no one knows who the father is exactly. Also a story line that would have made more sense and more impactful if Rory was in her 20s and not 30s. I know they wanted to do the mother daughter parallels. Seemingly setting Logan up to be the father and her Christopher and Jess her pinning Luke but it was all to on the nose. Ugh and even if they wanted to psych us all out and make her end up with Logan and have him be her Luke and maybe try to give the second version or lor/chris the ending. It just wouldn’t work because of how cheap they made Rory and Logan sleeping together in the revival. That’s not a love story thats toxic people hurting other people. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve ranted on and on and probably don’t even make sense now. 😂

[@rumaisaafzaal9576]

Notice the difference between logan and jess in this video (when jess is giving the whole no yale speech). Jess is knocking so much sense into rory’s messed up brain whereas logan isn’t encouraging her at all and just claiming that her not being in yale, being in the dar, living at her grandparents place is all just ‘temporary’. What i’m saying is that logan never challenged rory’s bad decisions and never took accountability of her smarts and how she was throwing away her life and all jess had to do was give a 20 second speech to knock more sense into her than logan did for the entirety of their relationship.

[@angelaholmes8888]

[@bellaloves2815]

Jess started to grow up and Rory started to revert into the teenager that Jess was and others thought she should have been. They switched. I think that’s why the writers didn’t put them together in the end of the original run, because they became each other’s past selves and that didn’t work out because they weren’t ready to be together. They kept missing each other. I think that in the future they would become their own version of Luke and Lorelei and end up together but during the show, they weren’t ready yet

[@katysanchez9107]

OMG OMG OMG!!!! How I didn't saw the big picture before! 😱 This is the proof of what I've always thought: they're soulmates, they're meant to be. 4:44 Logan: Don't you dared blame me! Can people explain me exactly why they like Logan? I mean, c'mon, he's so inconsistent. All surface, no substance. I also think that Tristan was meant to be Logan, if Chad hasn't left for OTH. But Jess, man, Jess was something else. He's an anomaly. He should've been the bad boy of the situation with the leather jacket and all, but I've never seen a bad boy so smart, so interested in literature and books. Jess is unique. And he's always been the only one for Rory, period.

[@thead.5720]

I watched Gilmore girls when I was a teenager, and I was shipping Rory and Logan, but after seeing this video, and this extract (when Logan is yelling at Rory for no reason), I cannot explain why I used to like Logan… He is a jerk, and he does not help Rory at all.

[@StardustProductionsOfficial]

I'm so glad my video helped you realized it. The thing is Logan never did anything to help Rory realizing how wrong her choice to left Yale was. Instead, he has always "encouraged" her attitude, by not taking any position on it. I have always felt as if in this relationship, Logan wanted to change Rory and shape her in his image and likeness. Rory was her true self only around Jess. He always wanted the best for her, and I think that was the mainly reason why he left at the end of Season 3. He didn't felt worthy. He had to work hard on himself to becoming a better man. And at the end, nobody's worthy of Jess now, lol

[@hmm600]

The most important thing that people keep forgetting is it wasn’t just one encouraging the other... both of them kept encouraging each other. Both of them constant with how they saw so much potential in other. In earlier seasons, Rory said this to Jess so much and then in later seasons, it was Jess who encouraged her to find her potential. Also, they both had the most substantial at the same time, most casual conversations. They were talking about books, ambitions, careers at one time or just sitting silent by the pond, silent, comfortable in each other’s company the other time.

[@elenabhatt5024]

Rory and Jess deserved to be endgame because they fit each other an pushed each other to be the best versions of themselves. Rory believed in Jess and Jess helped Rory get back on track. They just fit and they should've ended up together. It hurt that Rory denied the chance of a re-kindled relationship when Jess was ready to be in one and he was finally ready to be with her.

I’m a sucker for parallels. Rory and Jess are my absolute favorite OTPs ever. And let me say that was an amazing 8:52. I loved every second. The fact that you showed a major parallel between Rory and Jess that no one realized is just truly amazing. I always thought Rory and Jess were soulmates but this further proves it. It makes me rethink about them as if we have new storylines of them but even though as much bad of a journey Rory went thru in s6 and the revival her story always connected to Jess. They were so alike. He ends up saving her (in both s6and revival) like how she saved him. Truly phenomenal thank you for this! ❤️❤️❤️

In the first scenes, Jess's headmaster and Mitchum are even wearing the same outfits! Same blue shirt and nearly exactly the same pattern of tie!

[@hmm600]

You’ve done such a wonderful work with this. People including me have always wondered why they dragged Rory’s character downhill... what she said about always having things figured out and now not knowing what she really wants hits home. Also, Idc that Rory didn’t choose Jess in the end. I for one was actually pretty happy with ending how she broke things off with Logan (because NO MATCH there). As for Jess and Rory, they stopped their catch and chase. Jess, pushed her to write a book... start over and when time is right, she’ll find him. I am happy that for once, Rory was enough for herself... they didn’t put her up with a man to multiply her happiness. But yeah, Rory and Jess are the endgame no matter whose baby she’s carrying.

[@31WinterWolf31]

Their stories are completely parallel and opposing all at once. Jess started out lost and in a bad place and ended up successful while Rory started as someone with dreams and aspirations and ended up lost and unsuccessful.

[@VioletEmerald]

I commented before but now I wanted to add that it's interesting how similar they are in a few other ways too - his mother had him at age 18 and her mother at 16, they both have half siblings born when they are pretty much adults (Rory with Gigi when she's 18, Jess would've been 22 I think in season 7 when Doula is born).

Their mother also had different approaches to dating. Liz dated guys who weren't ready to be a good partner to Liz and father to Jess and yet Liz kept dating jerk after jerk. Whereas Lorelai kept her dating life separate from her parenting Rory until Rory convinced her it'd be ok to start dating Max. Liz didn't care who she had around her son as long as she had male validation (not a horrible character entirely just flawed). Lorelai cared who she had around her daughter (even Rory would ask why it didn't work out with whoever Lorelai was with following a break-up).

I think what i love about this ship is that Rory always believe in Jess potential when everyone else is saying he is a lost cause and Jess can manage to slap the reality of Rory. too bad that their relationship ends prematurely,

[@paigepommerencke3635]

no one ever gives jess the credit he deserves. he brought out the best in rory. no one ever considers that fact. it’s always “but her and logan are cute” or “dean was sweet to her” but no. jess was the only one who actually cared enough to push her to be the best she could. i can’t believe anyone would disagree with that.

[@cassh.7463]

right person, wrong time :(((

[@LovelyxImperfect]

WOWWWW this is just genius I've never seen a video that shows their connection so well and how they constantly support each other and inspire one another to go after their dreams. This is so unique and beautiful! Ahhh I love it and them so much!! Fantastic job, this made me see even different aspects of their stories I had never even thought of. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece. If anyone ever needs proof their soulmates I would just tell them to watch this video

[@StardustProductionsOfficial]

Aww, thank you so much, sweetie ❤️❤️

They were perfect for each other. They deserved endgame

They are literally soulmates. He knew her more than anyone does! He convinced her to go back to college, to write a book and she believed in him too when no one else did too! 💙

I never noticed how similar their paths were. Its truly incredible how amazingly this story line was written

THIS IS INCREDIBLE holy crap I was not prepared for this at all I'm gonna go rewatch this 100 times and cry some more

[@veronicasorrentino3815]

I NEED A HAPPY END FOR THEM, THEY MUST BE TOGETHER

[@maryam9977]

I love this video with all my heart coz so many parallels I didn't realise existed. So glad Rory went through similar stuff later on because she at times gave Jess crap for the same thing coz she didn't understand him. Also They never really spoke about their shared experience of having an absent father, it's so similar yet different which is crazy. And they both had Luke as that figure which was great

[@ruth1335]

rory and jess are soulmates :) the parallels and everything>>>> well done!

This is the best Rory and Jess video I have ever seen, and I've seen them all

did not know i was going to cry tonight

Wow. Just wow. This is really creative and such a great meta essay in video form aided by all the text in the description. I really love the little fanvideo about them being soulmates at the very end too. This is so beautiful with the super HD pretty clips and the coloring too. Thank you for making this and giving me something to reflect on that maybe I can use in fanfiction if i get back into writing. I don't know

I hope you'll find inspiration again, I know for experience how it feels when you're stuck. Thank you so much for the comment, you're always so kind and sweet 💕

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! WHAT A MASTERPIECE!! Such a unique idea sweetie!! I love all the similarities between them and you really showed it so well. This is such a great edit you did and it really showed different sides of their relationship and how they both struggled and then concurred. Love the ending as well!! ❤️🥰

[@StardustProductionsOfficial]

Thank you so much, sweetie!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@arim2011]

WOW...Just...WOW. I can’t believe I haven’t come across a video like this sooner. It seems so obvious now looking at the side by sides, but how even some of the specific scenes parallel. It’s just perfect. Don’t even know what to say except, you did a phenomenal job, and this just shows why I always felt these two needed to end up together in some capacity. Whether it’s romantic or platonic, they’ll always be there for each other. I mean, let’s be honest, they set it up so clearly at the end of the revival for him to be her Luke.

[@maaiker2977]

Finally someone else sees it as well! But I think this goes beyond this. I think jess is a recovering co-dependent. He had an unstable homelife probably had to take care of his nutty mom after the next loser left. Untill he reached puberty and was in the "THIS IS SO F-ING UNACCEPTABLE!" stage. He acted out until he got luke who took care of him for once. He read the self-help book and got some self-knowledge and closure and realised what toxic behaviour he wasn't gonna stand for anymore...nor do himself. But rory is lorelai's/gilmore's co-dependent. She mothers her mother but who mothers her? She needs to be perfect and makes pro/con lists cause God forbid she ever makes a bad decision. She is a people pleaser pleasing that entire town....but she doesn't please herself. And when things go wrong she falls to pieces. She dates guys like her father who are toxic and abandon her. And at that job interview she couldn't answer the question why she wanted the job.....cause SHE doesn't want it. Jess knows rory better then rory knows herself....cause jess is the male rory....he is just way ahead of her in his recovery thats all. He snapped at an earlier age while rory kept torturing herself emotionally. Rory could bare it longer thats all. Rory just only reached the "I can't take this anymore!" stage during the revival. While everyone thinks rory is fine....jess looked worried...he knows. Thats why he advised her to write that book cause its jess going " write everything out of your system,baby. Get it off of your chest. How did your childhood make you feel...is this acceptable to you now". Its self-help book time for rory. And what followed was rory confronting her dad about him just leaving and not having the guts to fight to be in his daughters life. And Emily got a nasty letter. People pleaser rory will never say a bad word to grandma. But thats how she feels about how grandma's actions effected her life. Internally she is as p!ssed off as jess was when he first came to town. Its why that book just flew out of her and felt like she had the story in her head her whole life.....cause its the feelings she had been bottling up her whole life. Thats why she felt like she NEEDED to write that book. Jess gave her a way to let it all out. Its why she is so excited...she is getting rid of the emotional baggage. Good job jess.😘👏 Both rory and jess are caring people who took on the weight of the world while they basically grew up parenting themselves and parenting the adults around them as kids. They are independent, smart and strong willed. But only jess has rory's back and truly understands her and cares for her. But rory is currently too messed up to see jess clearly. But from the moment they got into that car accident, jess just wants to be the one to "help her get what she wants by standing in front of the car screaming in a foreign language". He wants to be the guy she relies on. And he wants her to get everything she wants in life even if she is too insecure to go get it. And he is being that guy...Rory just can't see what he is doing for her thats all.

[@TheMarkmcr]

Not sure about jess, because codependency is described as having an unhealthy interest in a person's well being (which sounds more like season two dean), but he was never really there for rory at all while they were "dating". Rory is definitely not codependent. She's psychotic.

[@maaiker2977]

@@TheMarkmcr I got narcissistic vibes from dean. He was very guilttrippy, controlling and manipulative and wants to be SEEN AS the good guy. Gave me the creeps. Yes rory and jess dating was toxic as hell cause jess was a mess. But I still think they are both co-dependents. Jess is just over it and thinking of himself for once. But rory. She doesn't follow her dream cause grandpa wants yale. She dates logan who grandma wants for her. To the point that she is lost in life in the revival.

[@TheMarkmcr]

@@maaiker2977 dean's behavior in seasons 2-4 was terrible, but I was just pointing out how a codependent person's desire to be needed might lead them to act overprotective of others. Rory didn't have the right type of childhood to cause codependency (lorelai may be immature, but she doesn't have any trouble with taking care of herself), and she definitely wasn't concerned about pleasing lorelai when she wanted to quit on chilton because of meeting dean in the pilot episode

[@maaiker2977]

@@TheMarkmcr Thats a good point. She wanted to quit Chilton because of Dean but ended up staying because of Lorelai/Emily. Their desires for her to be in Chilton outweighted her desire to be in a school with her (boy)friends. Their needs before her own. Rory is the one that has to pick lorelai off of the ground again every time Chris does what he does. She even tells her father that when they argue. Rory protects and emotionally takes care of Lorelai. She mothers her mother. Even the last scene with jess in the revival....what does rory do?..she puts a clothe on someones head...she is mothering someone. Is that her responsibility to do so?....no. And thats the other reason jess looks sad through the window. Its not just "he isn't over her"....its also "he is worried about her". Jess sees rory isn't ok when the others think she is fine. She is about to emotionally blow thats why he suggested the book...its an outlet for her bottled up emotions. Good boy jess.👏😘 I agree both dean and jess (and logan) were toxic. But I think with dean its a personality disorder you can't fix. And with jess its childhood issues he has already overcome. And not only isn't he toxic as a grown up....he is actually healthy for rory.

[@TheMarkmcr]

@@maaiker2977 I don't think we saw enough of dean as an adult in the revival to determine that he is a genuine narcissist. However, haven't you considered that your initial interpretation of dean in your last comment is in fact what rory's doing? What we're seeing from her is love bombing/manipulation, not true codependency. Rory was probably projecting her own issues with christopher onto lorelai. She demonstrates textbook narcissist/psycho behavior during the sandeesays interview and when she tells lorelai about her book idea at the cemetery. She also remorselessly cheats on her boyfriends, stole a yacht in revenge for mitchum's bad review, is shown laughing about the situation of luke having to close and remodel the diner due to a car crash, and actually makes a joke about paris possibly spending night in the hospital (7x12). Somehow I doubt that a normal, mentally stable person would find any of that funny.

This scream soulmate, dean was a good first boyfriend for Rory but I love Jess and Rory together I wish they were together. I don’t like Logan. I like how Jess was the one who gave a wake-up call to Rory when he found out that she dropped out off yale. They are perfect for each other.

[@sherrinfords]

This is what I've been waiting for all my life, haha! Fantastic job. This is proof that it was always about Rory & Jess ♥

the end.... i letterally cried😭 Jess and Rory are the defenition of ✨ Soulmates ✨

[@emmastonehouse]

That Dawson’s Creek quote at the end ahh goes so well!!!!

[@eringrady9531]

Rory and Jess were meant to be from the minute they saw each other. Dean was a good boyfriend yet only 3 months after starting to date he threw away the key and told her he already loves her!! Like it takes time, not 3 months! And ever since Logan came into the picture, everything went downhill, theft of a yacht, missing relationships, living with her grandparents, dropping out from yale, having other relationships while in one with each other, or basically cheating on each other!! And yet there are still so many mistakes and wrong turns. Yet jess did some terrible things to rory too. He left her in the dust several times, rory was always giving him encouragement but he always shoved it aside, getting into fights, ditching school, not taking her to her prom, and so much more. But I still think that they were meant to be cause they understood each other than anyone else.

[@belhlv]

Jess and Rory are ENDGAME

[@PitaBorges]

melhor análise que já vi sobre GG. Congrats and thanks for sharing :)

[@smoakdesires]

You greatly encompassed how both of them made each other better people, pushed each other to their limits and always knew what would be the best for each other. I know a lot of people believe Rory and Logan belong together. But I don't think so, I never did. Jess was always the one who pushed Rory back onto the pedestal towards greatness. And Rory always knew Jess was meant to do so much more, be more, he never graduated or got a degree but he became the best person. The kind of person Rory knew he could be - the best version of himself. This video is amazing!! I am absolutely over the moon😍 but it also broke my heart - again. Knowing that these two never ended up together...

[@madeline982]

You’re a genius for noticing these parallels in the first place

[@estelabdcrezende7358]

This edit is just perfect!! I loved it! I also always loved Jess and Rory, they are the perfect match. I wanted them to be the endgame couple.

[@easo4839]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING JESS RORY VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED. I never ever comment on KZbin videos but the way you put these parallel storylines together in this exact sequence and the voiceover perfectly illustrated their relationship, their chemistry, and cemented the fact that Jess and Rory are soulmates who have always struggled with “right person, wrong time”. Thank you for creating such a beautiful video

[@cd9213]

I’m crying! This has to be my favourite Gilmore Girls edit! I love Jess’ journey 🥺💖

[@laura_aviana]

I loved this video so much, even the soundtrack is perfect. I never noticed this parallel between their histories, it's perfect, I wonder if it was intentional. I always thought they should have ended up together, when Jess vanished from the series everything became a little strange. For me, Logan seemed a wrong piece in the puzzle. I'm rewatching the series now and my opnion didn't change, this video only made it stronger. Plus, it's also cool to see how Lorelai and Luke were their for each other during the Jess and Rory dramas haha. Rory and Jess have a real thing, a deep one, and I think we all want that, someone that will always be there, even if he/she are not actually there, even if it is not in a romantic way. It cannot make sense for others, but what matter is that will always make sense for us

[@so2622]

Wow! I have no words. A stunning piece which you have obviously put a lot of work and thought into. Congratulations. These 2 are so complex and complicated and I love their story from beginning to end. How anyone can think they aren’t soulmates is beyond me. I am going to be thinking about this all day now. Thanks a lot lol.

Both of them went through very similar stuff, the diferente is that Jess dealt with it in a different way than Rory, a better way, maybe it's bc everything happened way sooner for him They were soulmates, the timing was just awful

My eyes are full of 😢tears.. A beautiful parallel edit.. Perfect sweet and emotional short love story.. Honestly, logan is asshole..Nobody actually understood them, only they did for each other..

This is amazing! I’ve watched the show so many times and I love both of them so much but I’ve never even thought how close they were in their experiences but at different times in their lives it’s insane how similar.
