Tristan Dugray: The One That Got Away

First things first, Tristan was an ass. There's no sugar coating it, no defense against it.

The thing that intrigues me is that his character clearly had a purpose. He didn't just show up throughout the entire first season just for the sake of having rory be in a love triangle, partially he did. He was going somewhere. There was mentions of his family life, particularly his parents and his grandfather. Then there was his messy dating history and troublemaker persona.

That's more than dean was ever given and he stayed for 5 whole seasons.

ASP said in interviews that Tristan was supposed to be Rory's "christopher" and they were supposed to be an on and off thing throughout rory's school and later college life. Which makes sense because later when Logan comes around, he's basically tristan 2.0.

Now if it wasn't for CMM's abrupt exit from the show, rory and tristan would've started dating in either season 2 or 3. Another thing I heard is that jess was written in to be a filler character for him. If jess wasn't there, then we probably would've seen Tristan outbidding Dean at the bid-a-basket festival (he's rich. duh) and they had already kissed once in season one and their kiss at the end of season 2 would've been like a kind of resurgence. It also would've made sense for dean to be insecure over tristan given the history in the previous season. Also, paris and rory have a falling out over francie in season 3. I could see it happening because rory starts dating tristan.

It's pretty obvious rory was going to date a "bad boy" at one point. That's why Jess was introduced as a stark contrast to dean.

Now, even though he's a jerk, he's so much fun to watch on screen. CMM play's in a way that's so charismatic like one example I can give is Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl. You hate these guys but you still wanna see them. A lot of the love that these characters get from fans not excluding myself stems from the fact that they're played by conventially attractive actors. I think it's important to point that out. jess and logan also falls into this but dean's character decline becomes so sour that nothing can save it.

It would've been so much fun to see this story but then again if that happened, paris and rory never wouldve became friends and we never wouldve gotten the jess storyline (with which we struck gold) So, I guess its better that tristan left.

I think of it as a very entertaining alternate reality.

One of my favourite things to do is to associate taylor swift's songs with anything and everything.

these are the songs I associate with rory gilmore's love interests. (From the guy's pov)

Jess - say don't go

Logan - sweet nothings

Dean - it's time to go

Tristan - enchanted

Would anyone be interested in reading a Gossip Girl x Gilmore Girls x One Tree Hill crossover where Brooke, Blair and a Gilmore OC are cousins with Brucas, Chair and OCxTristan?? 💚

Bc people don’t seem to acknowledge the fact that we could have an interesting dynamic between Lucas and Tristan as twins and that seems like a missed opportunity to me
