Thinking About How Jess Was Practically Kicked Out Of His House By His Addict Mother To Go Live With

Thinking about how Jess was practically kicked out of his house by his addict mother to go live with his uncle, a man he barely knew, only to endure months of scrutiny by the citizens of Stars Hollow because he acted like a teenage boy. Thinking about how, for the majority of his time in Stars Hollow, Jess had zero friends and practically no one to confide in.

Thinking about how Jess started working two jobs and saved enough money to have a car so he could finally have some sort of security in his life. Thinking about how Jess had so much weighing on his mind yet Lorelai and almost the entirety of Stars Hollow acted like he was a delinquent when he was just a scared kid. Thinking about how Jess got kicked out yet again when he was eighteen with no car (because his had been stolen by his uncle), no plans, and no one to depend on.

Thinking about how Jess still managed to grow and make it on his own. Thinking about how Jess managed to become a published author at a young age. Thinking about how Jess’s book was so good he got offered a job at the press that published it. Thinking about how Jess was dealt such a bad hand in life and endured so much and was still able to make a good life for himself.

i think it’s interesting how in the book, percy killing ms. dobbs is described as “the only thing that comes naturally” that being percy swinging the sword and turning her to dust, and him killing the minotaur is almost accidental, he snaps the horn off by ACCIDENT and happens to come up with it positioned to kill the beast and how that contributes to his feelings of inadequacy, whereas in the show so far, him killing ms. dobbs was a complete and total accident, and you can actually see some of the thought process in the show of him ripping the horn from the minotaurs skull and driving it through his brain. idk once you get down to it, it shows a very stark difference between this is something that is happening to me to this is something i am doing, my mother told me monsters are real and now one took her from me and what i can do is take it in return and i do think it’s also exemplifying this tonal shift that the show has taken by not having percy’s inner monologue to explain his thought process as events unfold, and also their stronger focus on relationships and building up camp life to an extent

So I've been thinking about Bottoms a lot, obviously, but there's something interesting I've noticed in the fan reaction to it. Now, as a lesbian in fandom, many of my ships are non-canon because duh obviously, canon sapphics are not common. And one of the things I would consistently see is people shooting them down with statements of "They're just friends, women can just be friends it doesn't always have to be romantic" you know. On and on.

That said, I haven't seen anyone shipping Josie and PJ together. Not telling you that you can't, if you do more power to you, just saying I haven't seen it. Everyone sees them as just friends and there's no need to push it because, for once, they both have their own ships separately. Not only that, but there are enough women in the cast that there's also A TON OF JUST FRIENDS RELATIONSHIPS.

So for everyone that has said "You're forcing it to be gay when it doesn't have to be" I say yeah, maybe so. But look at what happens when I don't have to force it. When two canonically sapphic characters can exist in the story as friends while still having romantic relationships with other people.

There it is

genuinely, i think watching live theatre can improve your media literacy so much

like people who look at doctor who and are like 'lol the effects are so rubbish'

maybe watch a stage play where there's no backdrops and half the characters are played by the same three guys in different hats and maybe you will calm down
