Low Opacity Elrond: The Trifecta

Low Opacity Elrond: the trifecta

ily bill i miss you come back

As I watch more Gilmore Girls, I can't help but think about relatable Rory's journey is.

Yes, I'm going to talk about AYITL.

So, as we all remember, Rory's career and life takes a downturn in the limited series and when that first came out it just led to uproar from fans (me included).

Rory a smart kid. Rory was a gifted kid. How did she get to this point in her life? Why does she feel so above it all? She's a mess.

Set loose into the real world, Rory was hit with the realization that things aren't always easy, and her smarts can't always get her to where she needs to be. She had one big moment of glory and then nothing else happened.

It's something a lot of gifted kids can experience, where we excel in a very structured learning environment like school but the moment that structure is gone, it becomes difficult to find motivation and get things done.

And the longer it takes for us to get to that next step, the worse we feel about it all because we were such a great kid in school. Everyone had such high hopes for us because of our talent.

Was AYITL good? No, there were so many flaws in the writing, too many to count. But I understand what they were trying to say with Rory's storyline and I think it could've worked.

i like how dean represents rory’s humble small town stars hollow world and logan represents rory’s wealthy ivy league world and rory being torn between these two worlds is basically the theme of the show, so you’d think that the narrative would be very dean vs logan. yet both of them are intimidated not by each other but by this little guy who comes out of nowhere during both relationships, displays an undeniable connection with rory and dips. i love it.

No plan (fic outline) ever survives contact with the enemy (the word doc page).
