Is it just me or was one of the TBH writers a Gilmore Girls fan and April and Stirling their shot at writing that Rory Paris fanfiction come to life they always dreamed off

To be honesttttt. Maybe? 

I mean, really, the good girl with the great family who everything seems to fall in place for, including the academic accolades, and then the strident rich girl with the loveless home trying to compensate by being super ambitious and overachieving who people don’t warm to and who resents the other girl for seemingly easily getting everything she had to work so hard for? I don’t know of any screenwriter for a girl-led TV show now who wouldn’t have at least watched Gilmore Girls, soooo. I mean, we’re joking, but like, it’s possible, it’s so tropey and fun and right there. I cannot believe the journey they went on, canonically.
