i guess this will be a thread:
watching gilmore girls

[only starting with 1x02, bc I watched the pilot about a week ago]
appreciation tweet for this line though bc wow I felt that

"MOM"
"what? god... hi"
"what are you doing?!"
"having a heart attack"
please they're so chaotic i love it

"do you know what happens to people when they're late on their first day?"
"it's shorter..?"
lorelai truly has zero chill and i'm here for it

"you're feeling pretty good about yourself right now, aren't you?"
"yeah..."
"do you want me to get you a mirror?"
"i'm back, let's go"
these two >>>>>>>>

i already like this banter between luke and lorelai so it should be interesting

lucas scott... is that you??

old ladies: can you tell me where we can find the best antiques?
michel: at your house, I'd guess
PLEASE EVERYTHING HE SAYS DESERVES TO BE FRAMED

"now, walk smooth - that's the new Harry Potter on your heads. if they should drop, Harry will die and there won't be any more books"
they really said: hp rights

so luke seems happy that lorelai turned down the guy who wanted to go out with her huh

rory: you can not date luke
lorelai: i said nothing about dating luke
they're gonna end up married, aren't they?

"you can use your mother's old golf clubs - they're upstairs gathering dust along with the rest of her potential"
okay woman who hurt you

"no one forgets that"
"oh no, not being attacked by a band of swans - was it an all-boy band, kind of a scary feathery nsync kind of fiasco?"
oh my god

"you brought us used dessert?"
"it's not used, it's left over"
lorelai please never stop being such a dork

rory bonding with her grandparents while lorelai is left to drink wine all by herself...

"can I kill her?"
"not before high tea"
"fine, then I will curse you - constantly and in several languages"
hello this is officially my soulmate

luke just knowing exactly what lorelai and/or rory need because he sees and analyses their actions
LOVE that

(quite strong Donna vibes here)

ah look, I even found Harvey for the Donna in my previous tweet - how fitting ☻

"there's a man with a funny accent on the phone asking for you"
"really - did you guys exchange the secret handshake"
lorelai sweetie your sense of humour is my weakness

michel: ahahaha *2 seconds later* kill me now
did I mention how much I relate to this guy

"i repeat my question: why should we date"
"because we're clearly attracted to each other"
"well, I'm attracted to pie, doesn't mean I feel the need to date pie"
you should however consider dating that guy who serves pie, his name rhymes with duke if my memory serves me right..?

"mom?"
"hold on, I'm looking up aneurysm in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one"
drama queen of the month

"a cat?"
"yeah, a cat - it was a cat's funeral"
...
"it's late I have a big day tomorrow, mom"
"oh, what - you're going to a raccoon's wedding?"

"hey, rory's birthday is Saturday night, so start thinking up reasons why you can't come"
"i'm going to be out of town"
"well, you used that last year"
"i'll work on it and get back to you"
can he please give me a crash course on life

"she's not here yet"
"alright, you'll have to entertain me until she arrives. okay, burger boy - dance"

"will you marry me?"
"what?"
"just looking for something to shut you up"
OKAY BUT MY HEART LITERALLY SKIPPED A BEAT HERE

"you don't have to ask me, you know"
"i know, but i would like you to come"
"yeah?"
"yeah"
please what are they being so cute for I don't know how to handle it

"the best one was her 8th birthday"
"oh yeah, that was good"
"the cops shut us down"
"the cops shut down an 8-year-old's birthday party?!"
"and arrested the clown"
"i don't want to hear any more of this"
not me already picturing these three as the most chaotic family

"wrong table"
"since when is there a right table"
"since the coffee cake i baked for you and the stupid balloons i blew up are at that table over there"
"you blew up balloons for me?"
"yup"
"aw, luke - you old softie"
"i count to three and it's gone"
big dad energy if you ask me

okay who knows maybe i do like the idea of rory and dean...

so just when i was starting to wonder why luke wasn't at the party, he gets there, saves the day and basically first thing lorelai says to him is that he's the best followed by them hugging each other so tight?
can these two please have at least a little mercy on my fragile heart

"and this man with the ice?"
"luke"
"how long have you been seeing him?"
"luke? i'm not seeing luke, he's uhm... just a friend"
"mhmmmm"
I TAKE IT BACK emily gilmore for the win

"mom, i swear - luke keeps me in coffee, nothing else"
"he seems to like you"
"and you're judging this by what?"
"by the way he looked at you"
ha! even lorelai's uptight mom gets it

sookie: *gets behind the counter to help customers a little*
luke: *goes ballistic*
lorelai: *takes over the whole serving coffee and muffins thing while luke is busy arguing about the decorations*
luke: here, don't use your hands *gives her tongs for the muffins*
that's... LOUD

lorelai practically losing it bc rory kissed a boy and didn't tell her while luke is right there to talk her though all that and help calm down?
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL - KEEP IT COMING

"you want to hear something crazy?"
"cause all the talk up until now has been so normal?"
they gotta stop fighting like an old married couple (i really hope they don't)

"everything will be back to normal between us, right? right - okay, good"
"so you passed the need for an actual person to talk to several minutes ago"
"oh yeah, before the gelato stand"
"you're an amazing woman"
"thank you for noticing"
they're in L-O-V-E, your honour

mayor: *goes on and on about this very important anniversary for the town*
lorelai: yeah, but... wHeRe's LuKe ?
fair enough, can't blame her

luke snapping while rory and lorelai are sitting in the back like:

lorelai and rory really said: we're the proud members of luke danes fan club and what about it

(they totally came to that whole thing just to laugh over him losing his temper, you can't change my mind)

"12 guys stood in a row all night waiting for an enemy that never showed, they got stood up - they should have been wearing prom dresses!"
lorelai and rory, watching this unfold like it does every other year:

okay luke actually made some really great points there

"Michel, it's the first snowfall of the season - it's very lucky, make a wish"
"get away from me"
"oh, you're not supposed to say it out loud"
her love for snow is adorable

luke embracing both the silly reenactment thing and the terrible snow storm and practically smiling at the thought of making people happy by just bringing them tea/cocoa/coffee only to turn around and see lorelai kissing another guy..?

"at some point in your life, you're gonna have to decide that some guy is worth opening that front door for"
very true, that's just not you - her guy wears a cap, plaid shirts and makes delicious coffee, so... bye?

"what are you doing?"
"getting rid of the avocado"
"since when do you not like avocado?"
"since the day i said, gross what is this, and you said: avocado"
thank you i knew i loved her for a reason

so when are we getting paris and rory as bffs because there's just no way she will stay the same arrogant and snarky know-it-all for long

awwww dean and rory

i actually thought lorelai finally getting along with her mom meant all three of them would be really close from now on huh

wow she really just uninvited her from the family Christmas dinner like this?
unless lorelai is spending this time with luke now i don't want it

the two of them just casually jumping into parenting rory conversations
i love how they're pretty much a family without even realising it

"do you care?"
"obviously you do"
*proceeds to explain to her exactly why because even she herself didn't understand it*

"what did you do?"
"you wanted something festive"
"you made me a santa burger"
"it's no big deal"
"he has a hat and everything"
please she's so in awe - this one is definitely a keeper

they were bickering and she called him "honey" like it's the most natural thing in the world

a bunch of guys *trying to talk their way into getting free hot chocolate*
lorelai (breaking luke's sacred no phones allowed rule) oh my god
luke: shut up *turning to lorelai* what's going on?
we love one tough guy with a soft spot for his girl

he literally closed the cafe on probably the busiest night without hesitation just to give her a ride?
MEN TAKE NOTES

"i can't imagine anyone seeing you as a disappointment"
can they please stop because my heart is going to burst for real

"i bet you'd buy a barbie for your daughter"
LORELAI NO I DON'T HANDLE THIS KIND OF CONVERSATION WELL PLEASE CHANGE THE SUBJECT I BEG

"you'll make a great dad"
"you make a great mom"
THEY REALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO GO THERE I-

"were you on a date?"
"what?"
"you have an escort"
"no - it's luke, mom"
"which is her way of saying we weren't on a date"
"i'm sorry i didn't mean it like that"
emily don't listen to her they were pretty much on a date yes

no one:
literally no one:
lorelai's mom every time she sees luke: are you dating him? how long has it been going on? are you in love with the ice man?
SHE'S MY HERO

"luke"
"i gave your mom a ride, we weren't on a date"
he sounds like a teenager that was caught doing something inappropriate - that's so cute

"god, this sucks"
"hey, c'mon - you gotta think positive here. bright side, good thoughts: rainbows, unicorns, clowns, little cute furry... okay i'm out"
"thank god"
luke trying to do this pep talk:

"okay, listen - why don't you go home?"
"you want me to go?"
okay OUCH

"you don't look so good"
"thanks"
"that's not what I meant, you know you always look good"
"yeah?"

"oh, what? so i said you look good, we're not in fifth grade - you look good, big deal... stop staring at me"
she really has no idea

"so what exactly is going on between the two of you?"
"nothing, really - we're friends. that's it"
"you're idiots, the both of you"
SHE'S RIGHT AND SHE SHOULD SAY IT
(has anyone actually ever said those exact words and meant any of it, can't remember a single example)

seeing luke and lorelai hug truly does things to me

"thanks for the hat"
"you're welcome, looks good on you"
"good how?"
my shipper heart isn't strong enough for their cute little banter

"buttercup is a special dog, she is extremely skittish and tends to react badly towards blonde-haired females, brunette males, children of either sex, other animals, red clothing, cabbage or anyone in a uniform"
"hey, we just found a doggy version of you"
my golden trio

"do not let these two anywhere near a dog, they can barely feed themselves"
that's true, he's the cook in this family

luke offering to clean lorelai's skates and tighten the blades
not that anyone asked but yes i am now imagining their date on an ice rink

"you know, if you ever want to talk-"
"hey, we're not friends"
"well that i know, but if you ever do want to talk about..."
"i will, if i want to"
"okay"
"but i probably won't"
"that's fine"
"but if i do-"
"i'm around"
"okay"
HA WHAT DID I SAY

"i give up"
"that's the spirit"
if this isn't my inner dialogue whenever i feel unmotivated

no one:
literally no one:
lorelai: let's go to luke's

"luke, that is an exceptionally good batch of coffee"
"yeah? i added a little nutmeg"
IS MY LIFE A JOKE TO THEM

"first i gotta watch a man walk out on you, then i have to watch you eat alone? nope, too pathetic"
"i'm not eating alone, you're here"
ma'am that's straight up flirting

"god that's nice"
"yeah"
"the whole first date/beginning of the relationship glow, everything's new and exciting"
"every joke is hilarious"
"every little touch is incredible"
*pats luke's arm and smiles at him*
WHO ALLOWED THEM TO BE LIKE THIS

"god it's a good feeling"
"it is at that"
"i miss that"
"you'll have it again"
"*looking back up at him* i guess"
VERY SUBTLE

"maybe sometime we could-*
THEY JUST HAD TO BE INTERRUPTED IN THAT VERY MOMENT DIDN'T THEY

"you know, i had a good time the other night - the cards"
"oh yeah, me too"
"good"
"in fact, you rushed out of here before i had a chance to, uh..."
"a chance to-"
"kick your ass in poker"
"you wish"

"maybe we could do it again sometime"
"oh yeah, well... i would like that"
you mean, ignore your feelings for each other? like you do basically 24/7
