Jess Mariano|| I’m Just A Kid

[@SamOnAQuest]

Poor Jess. He’s my favorite out of Rory’s bfs

[@gracemorris3587]

Mines logan

[@gilmoregirlyedits470]

Logan treated Rory the best though

[@SamOnAQuest]

@@gilmoregirlyedits470 I disagree. He cheated on her. Jess just didn’t know what to do, didn’t know how to handle the fact that he loved her, so he left. But then he came back. Logan, in my opinion, was kind of a jerk to Rory. When he’d get drunk, which was a lot, he’d be super rude to her or would pressure her to have s*x with him when she told him to go to sleep. He never appreciated her. When they first met, they were my fav couple, but when they grew used to eachother, he started treating her badly. I respect that you like him though.

[@its_leah8776]

I personally liked Logan at the beginning.. but once we got to know him more I started to not like him.. he slept with other girls while they were practically still together.. and he also peer-pressured her.. I also didn’t like Dean I’m not sure why I just didn’t like him.. Jess was my favorite because he understood her and they liked mostly the same things and I wish they were together longer.

Same girl

[@cawesomewhatever]

One Jess moment that kills me every time I watch it is when he is yelling at his dad saying “you have nothing? I have NOTHING!”

[@clarabenedict2364]

Oh my gosh it literally shatters me every time 💔💔💔

[@mileysmith5683]

i always cry

[@Aubrey9209]

“I made sure she was ok” ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[@rebecca._holloway]

Jess honestly deserved SO much better. When he yelled at his Dad "I have NOTHING!" that's really the saddest moment with him, it's really vulnerable. I love him so much. I wish he stayed with Rory.

[@Alivia_775]

He yelled at his dad when he said “I have NOTHING”

[@rebecca._holloway]

@@Alivia_775 oh, yeah! My mistake, I forgot :)

[@theatregirl0368]

He really was just a kid who was dealt such a bad hand… 🥺

[@pop-tart..3]

“I made sure she was okay” I cried.

[@icy9000]

That lip bitting tho🛐

[@suzanneallard9053]

one of the best things about him

Yummy

[@michelleleon6170]

I was thinking the same thing 🥴

[@downtownbooklover]

THATS WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAYYY

[@urrockstargf111]

I love lorelai so so much but I think she was a little hypocritical since she was the same as a teen except he went though worse. I get that she wanted to protect Rory but still-

[@acelovesdiyschristopher7023]

People really treated him like crap from the beginning

[@ChicaBuenosAires]

Lorelei was acting the way people acted with her when she got pregnant at 16

[@emmabetty8391]

Jess Mariano was one of my first tv crushes (i think I was like 13 lol) and he was/is my fav Rory bf!!!! He loved her so much, he just had some tough crap in his life that he processed through in a rebellious way!!

[@willow-faye2425]

Hes better than the other ones tho- 😃

[@areebatanveer7043]

Jess is my favourite guy and I love Lorelei so much but she was WRONG for assuming shit about him and hating him. I never expected Lorelei to ever treat him that way. Also, I hate how people just assume whatever they want about this poor dude it's sad :((
Jess >>>> ♡

[@jsd004]

But tbh Lorelei was right. He wasn't a great guy during high school and he was the one who broke Rory's heart and while trying to steal it. She was wrong for assuming but most of the time he was rude to everyone except Rory and had anger issues just like Luke as the r traveled when Luke nd Lorelei get engaged and April comes into his life. He didn't have much and was a better adult but he was not a decent guy during high school

[@Bellas_videos987]

@@jsd004so Jess just needed so love

[@anniehale5507]

This hits hard when you know he was actually alone because of his absent Parents so he really just had himself. " I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare. I'm just a kid and I know that it's not fair. Nobody cares cause I'm alone and..." 🥺

[@ienutapirvu48]

Best caracter of Gilmore girl

[@lillyiglesias1926]

i love lorelai but i don’t think she shouldnt have been like that when she didn’t even know jess. like emily and taylor i expect that from but lorelai? come on

[@Kim-ng4ti]

Especially because she was a kid *just* like him. He could be young Lorelais twin.

[@liobas.secret3849]

​@@Kim-ng4ti I agree with you, but maybe it was BECAUSE he was so similar to her. She might have been scared to have Rory make the same mistakes, she made at her age.

[@Kim-ng4ti]

@@liobas.secret3849 Yeah I think so too. But as an adult I kinda expected her to realize why she's so hard on him and be able to think about what she needed when she was at his age/position when it felt like it was her against the whole world. Instead of judging him like she was judged. I totally get it but I just expected more. Especially because when they did try and get along that one time, they actually did, something should've clicked then.

[@liobas.secret3849]

@@Kim-ng4ti I totally agree with you on that :) I also got really angry at how she treated Jesse. I hated that as well and she could have done better.

[@Kim-ng4ti]

@@liobas.secret3849 Yes and not only how she treated Jess but I think what made me really angry is how she was constantly trying to convince Luke to not take care of Jess and that he's done enough and should just give up on him. Like, hate him all you want but stop trying to deny him the only parental figure in his life that ever gave a crap about him. She should know what that feels like. Now that I'm talking about it I'm getting angry again, sorry😂🙏

[@Macey61408]

Jess is so misunderstood, rory was the only one who saw the good in him

[@ladonnarea1552]

Yes,she really did,and it made him want to become a better person

[@subhasreepanda3916]

My obsession with this fictional character is insane....and this when he actually had less screen time than the side characters 😩

[@rachelirby.]

jess is my type

[@haunted.1315]

I hated how everyone was so quick to hate on him when they don’t even know him especially Lorelai, she shouldn’t judge him so quickly. Btw the song suits him so well because after all he is just a kid

[@skyler2582]

Jess dealing with neglect be like -what?😂

[@ItsPrim133]

I have a huge crush on him like he is so gorgeous ❤

[@pop-tart..3]

he just needed to be loved.

[@pari1466]

I wish they were the endgame😭😭😭

[@anniehale5507]

And I hated when he was going through the worse of it all that they gave him less screen time the entire time I been wondering when he'd come back because I wanted to know he's ok 😭

[@dramastar_waca]

Poor Jess🥺❤

[@vlogsby_ashee]

jess was the best boyfriend out of everyone else their only bad thing was their lack of communication

[@Noone-py1yt]

Jess biting his lip>>>>>>>> anything else

[@Sturns_are_better]

I was so upset that lorelai hated him so much especially since he was by far the best bf Rory had 😭😢

[@downtownbooklover]

He was so misunderstood. he was good for rory. he’s my favorite out of all of her bfs and she should’ve picked him.

[@user-kz3uc1qh3g]

Jess❤

[@theinvisibleme4104]

As everyone had Rory on a pedestal they thought Jess wasn't enough for her

[@milliec28]

HE👏IS👏BETTER👏THAN👏DEAN👏

[@Shiiroi999]

Yeeesssssssssssss !!!! So much !

[@anniehale5507]

He really needed more help from the begining everybody gave him the label that he's bad so he became it but really behind every "Bad, Troubled teen" is a Really hurt struggling teen they just mask it behind their teenager self. Jess needed someone. A therapist, an adult, a friend, mental health professionals he needed people.

[@Bepster927]

[@Neptunenovelties]

He really was just a kid

[@AleighBrock]

Love Jess 😋

[@alainavr]

Jess was my favorite of Rory's boyfriends but everyone but Rory treated him like $h!+ When he was just trying to grow up and learn from his mistakes (which he did). Also he was the only one that made Rory grow and made himself grow. Also dean was over protective and jealous making Rory scared to have guy friends.

[@EllieDempseysVersion]

Logan was my favorite bf of Rory's, but I always felt bad for the way Jess was treated. Nobody helped him, they just told him things that got in his head, and no matter how hard Luke tried he couldn't get them out (metaphorically speaking)

[@rudycalvo925]

I loved Jess!!
But he needed therapy so badly, and limits... He had so many issues
I think he challenged Rory and that was exciting... And at the same time they shared a lot of things..
That's why she fell in love, but he had just so many problems and was so angry... 😢

[@Preppy_X_Hazel]

“You have nothing? I have NOTHING. I have no place to go, i cant stay at Luke’s, i cant stay in stars hollow, my mother is a WHACK JOB! So your telling your this loser and what? You don’t wanna take me off the terrific path I’m headed down right now? Im not graduating high school! Idk what i’m gonna do with my life but something’s telling me i better find out soon, or I’m gonna be that guy out on the board walk sellin the hemp hats!”

[@user-vh6il7lt7f]

Meanwhile, Luke to everyone: I don’t care!!! That’s MY messed up kid so back off
Luke to Jess in private: WHAT the fuck is wrong with you

[@cobrakaigirl244]

So sad

[@bear6699]

They were all correct!

[@masoomsyed9377]

Jess is by far the most tragic and misunderstood character in Gilmore Girls.

[@ItsMadelineJayne]

The fact that in the end he actually gets into a better position than Rory kills me because they never gave him a chance the only person who did was Rory 😢

[@Sofmack0407]

DAMNNNN

[@TC-ku4vv]

I love Jess and relate to him so much. But I wondered if Rory thought she could fix him.

[@monicacorona373]

Yup, but at least he was straight forward about his feelings to Rory and supported her... not like Logan who manipulated her and contributed to her dropping out of Yale

[@euusoofia]

poor Jess

[@kianajack1960]

I think I went deep but that’s fine, haha. Deep thoughts: I’m not done with the show, but the season and episode I’m at, I don’t like how Jess treated people. I guess I’m thinking for me, how I would want my future boyfriend/spouse to treat others, and that would be with love, and with love, kindness towards everyone. So, with Jess, I didn’t see that. But I also have to think that what he grew up with was difficult, plus he was talked badly about and so he turned away from them and rebelled. I believe Luke believed in him to grow as a person, and so did Rory, and that’s what he clung too. So, overall, I’m believing for him to grow as a person, and I think the time he took to be away can actually be good.

[@Chuck0856]

JESS is out of control??? Logan jumps off building for fun. What's THAT?

[@eliotsharples5221]

Tell me I’m it crazy for this. Lorelei kinda looks, talks, and acts a little like….. Taylor swift. PLS TELL ME U SEE IT

[@ax666]

Woman you got knocked up at 16, cut him some slack.

[@bear6699]

its so misogynistic how all of the fangirls LOOOOOOVE jess despite him being an abusive person. meanwhile they LOATHE rory because she....took a boat on a joy ride lmao

I love loreli but she got on my nerves when it came to jess

i would expect everyone but lorelei to assume that shits about jess but she had too many prejudice and that’s my only disappointment about her

[@ur.fav.ariya.]

Jess>logan

[@nethrakesanapalli4432]

Nah but he was the best fs
and absolutely no hate to dean, he fucked up (a lottttt) but then again rory also treated him like shit too
girl could’ve broken up with him the minute she started feeling feelings for jess but nope, she lead him onnnnnn
so yes. i sympathize with dean. a lot. i rest my case
