Paralells - Tumblr Posts
Tengo que hablar de algo muy importante. Si, paralelos de Byler con It.
Mucha gente lo compararía con Reddie (Eddie y Richie) pero narrativamente no encajan del todo, a pesar de sí tener similitudes.
Lo que quiero decir es que hay un triángulo amoroso en ambos universos.
Un triángulo amoroso en el que dos personas buscan el amor de ese interés romántico, el cual es bastante despistado al respecto. Uno de los personajes enamorados le hace un regalo al interés romántico, pero este piensa que el regalo es de parte del otro personaje, el que es más fácil de amar.
Por si no es obvio, me refiero al paralelo de Beverly siendo quién Bill y Ben quieren contra el de Mike siendo quién Once y Will quieren.
Ben/Will le daría un regalo hecho desde lo más profundo de su corazón a Beverly/Mike, quien piensa que el regalo es de Bill/Once, y prefieren no discutirlo a pesar de que no tenga mucho sentido porque es más fácil amarlos, en el caso de Beverly, es más fácil amar a Bill debido a que (si, seré cruel) es más atractivo. En el caso de Mike, es mucho más fácil amar a Once, porque ella es una chica.
Tienen que pasar 27 años para que Beverly por fin se dé cuenta de que ese regalo nunca fue de Bill y estuvo detrás de la persona incorrecta. (Y al final termina con Ben)
Si el paralelo es como yo pienso, Byler siendo endgame es más fácil que nunca.
Why do they give off the same vibes? The art is not mine

"There’s a part in the movie where you can see right through the acting, where you can tell that I’m about to burst into tears, right before I burst into tears."
Same energy?
(I should have taken adult versions of Selina and Bruce, but that's all I found.)

Buffy vs. The Gilmores
I have been thinking about the similarities between Gilmore Girls and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While there are not that many, there are some striking ones that made me wonder. They didn't make me wonder very much, but nevertheless, wonder I did. Lets go through a list:
7 seasons?
check
mother and daughter with absentee father?
check - Lorelai & Rory, Joyce & Buffy
[note: pre-season 5 Buffy. Granted, the relationship between Buffy and her mom is very different than the one that Lorelai and Rory shared. Also, Christopher is more present than Buffy's dad, but the title still holds for the most part]
first three seasons about high school then off to college in the 4th?
check
drops out of college?
check - Buffy never returns, but Rory does
[side note: I never understood why Rory dropped out of Yale until I went to college and found myself seriously considering dropping out for a semester or so. I didn't, but I was this close]
sleeps with first boyfriend, which causes far more problems than it is worth?
check - Buffy sleeps with Angel, he loses his soul and almost brings about the apocalypse, after doing some other nasty stuff. Rory sleeps with Dean and they continue their affair. Even after his wife finds out.
[note: while Rory didn't sleep with Dean until season 4 after she had dated Jess he still remains her first boyfriend]
boyfriend with bad hair during season 4 and the beginning of season 5?
check - Riley, Dean: the bad hair is self-explanatory
said bad-haired boyfriend just seems to hold protagonist back?
check - Riley feels inadequate to Buffy and her Slayer strength/powers. Dean can see that his and Rory's lives are heading in two different directions.
season 5 ends with sadness?
check - Buffy dies. Rory gets arrested and ultimately drops out of Yale for a bit [note: Rory getting arrested is not as heartbreaking as Buffy dying. But I was upset still]
dark phase for protagonist during season 6?
check - Buffy, having been ripped out of heaven by her friends, goes into a dark depression because of being alive again and no longer at peace. Rory drops out of Yale, becomes estranged from Lorelai, and joins the DAR with Emily.
relationship that began as a hook up ends badly but ultimately leads to a stronger one in season 7 but the two still do not stay together?
check - Buffy begins sleeping with Spike in season 6 when she is depressed in order to feel something and finds he is the only one he can confide in. Is it because she hates him almost as much as she hates herself? Maybe. After she ends it he tries to rape her, she stops him. He goes to Africa to get back his soul and during season 7 the two form a trusting friendship and are truly there for each other. But then he burst into flames during the season finale, saving the world. Rory and Logan start hooking up casually because Logan feels like he is not boyfriend material. They soon do enter a relationship, but a fight about Jess gets them on a break/broken up and after reconciling Rory learning that Logan slept with three of his sister's friends did not go over well. Season 7 they are back together and, while there are some rough patches, they truly seem happy. But then Logan proposes and Rory says no.
protagonist breaks up with boy who is arguably her soul mate in season 3?
check - Angel leaves Sunnydale for Los Angeles, Jess runs away. While Angel being Buffy's soul mate is arguable, anyone who questions whether or not Rory and Jess were MFEO is completely insane. I will always have a soft spot for Angel, though I do enjoy Spike.
said arguable soul mate continues to show up every once in a while, sometimes causing tension between himself and new love interest?
check - Angel ruffles Riley's feathers and in a particularly humorous exchange:
RILEY: Sometimes things happen between exes and when I saw that he was bad-
BUFFY: He's not bad.
RILEY: Seriously? That's a good day? Well, there you go. Even when he's good he's all Mister...Billowy Coat, King of Pain.
Angel shows up again in season 7 and some jealously arises between him and Spike. Jess shows up in season 6 to see Rory and Logan is a jerk to him. I don't remember if he ever confronts Dean in season 4.
snarky dialogue?
check - do I need to provide examples? I don't think so.
Let me know if I missed anything.
oh. by they way, there are spoiliers in this.
I dance everytime I see these destiel/other romantic couple parallels ❤️

Hey, @margarittet these are a load of the parallels I could find.
How can it have so many parallels and similarities to in the end simply mean nothing????
