There are some more modern series, like Ginny And Georgia, that resemble the beloved series Gilmore Girls. However, many fans think nothing can compare to the story of Lorelei and Rory Gilmore.
There are several main characters in this series, but Rory's storyline of growing up and going to college, and then beginning her adult life was one of the most significant plots. Though Rory can sometimes be considered a controversial character, she is many fans' favorite. These memes sum up Rory's character throughout the series.
Books Are Life

One of Rory's best quotes has to do with her books. Throughout the series, Rory is often seen reading and discussing literature. There are various scenes when Rory is also seen in a bookstore or sale, even taking a job at the bookstore a summer in college.
Though Rory has a quirky, laid-back personality like her mother, she also has some unique personality traits of her own. She is a bookworm from episode one, expressing her deep love for reading. This meme not only points this out but gives certain audiences something to relate to.
Mannerisms

Only die-hard Gilmore Girls fans know aspects of the show, such as the cast not always understanding the pop culture references. However, the Gilmore girls use their pop culture knowledge and used their quick tongues to insert it into general conversation.
This is one characteristic that Rory shares with her mother. They include pop culture references in various conversations, whether they're excited, angry, or just chatty. Despite the fact that people don't always understand what they're saying, it does seem like a trait that makes them more likable.
The Father

Lorelei Gilmore had Rory at sixteen, choosing to not marry her father Christopher Hayden. This led to Chris deciding not to be present in Rory's life, for the most part, leaving her mother to raise her as a single parent.
Chris shows up at various moments throughout the series, but he doesn't stay very long except in the final season when Lorelei finally marries him. Chris likes to assert himself as a father despite the fact that he was never a father figure to Rory. Despite her love for her father, this is one of the most toxic relationships in her life growing up.
First Love

Dean and Rory's most iconic scene is when Rory finally opens up and tells him she loves him. However, he urged her to say it when he did, before she was ready to take that step. Dean was her first love and though their relationship had its wholesome moments, he put a lot of pressure on her.
In season one, they were celebrating an anniversary when he tells her he loves her. They hadn't been dating for very long, but he was so upset when she didn't say it back that he broke up with her. This relationship gave Rory experience in a long-term relationship but was also one of the most heartbreaking aspects of her storyline.
Frenemies

One unpopular opinion is that Tristan deserved better, and they wanted to see his storyline progress more. However, most of the time, Tristan's inclusion in the show only caused to create more drama for Rory.
Specifically, Tristan didn't help the matters between her and her high school rival Paris. Rory and Paris become life-long friends by the end, but they both had their ups and downs, especially in Chilton. When their relationship was becoming more civil, Tristan lying to Paris about Rory going on a date with him made her jealous. This meme emphasizes not only Tristan's fascination with Rory but Paris' anger over the situation.
The Big Episode

In the earlier seasons, Rory was mostly an innocent teenager who always tried to do the right thing. However, her most epic failure was so shocking it overlooked one of the most exciting moments when Lorelei and Luke finally share a kiss.
After Rory is in college and hasn't been with Dean for a while, she has an affair with him. This was most shocking because Dean was married at the time and this decision inevitably ended his relationship. This meme also addresses the point in which Rory begins making her early adult mistakes.
The Fights

Rory and Lorelei have one of the most wholesome mother-daughter relationships on TV. They get along like they are best friends, but Lorelei also knows when it's time to step in as the mother figure. This meme references how upsetting it was for fans to see Rory fight with her mother.
There are several fights the two women have, though they rarely have big fights that affect their relationship. The most heartbreaking fight is when Rory decides to take time off of Yale, causing the two to not talk for several months. Lorelei is Rory's rock, and it was difficult to see her manage the world without her mother's support.
Logan And Rory

Rory had a few serious relationships throughout the series, but her more serious relationship was the one with Logan Huntzberger. However, it didn't start off so smoothly. When they first began dating, Logan wanted it to be casual, intending to date others while dating Rory.
This didn't last very long, however. When Rory brings a date to a costume party, making him jealous. This meme emphasizes how much of a challenge this new relationship was for her, experiencing something outside of her comfort zone.
Grandparents Approval

As a teen, Rory had a relationship with Dean and Jess. However, her grandparents didn't approve of either relationship. It wasn't until she began dating Logan, a wealthy young man with a trust fund and "proper upbringing" that they approved of her relationship.
Rory didn't often butt heads with her grandparents, but when she did it either had to do with her mother or one of her earlier relationships. Her relationship with Logan proved that her grandparents were living vicariously through her, urging her to take the path they wish their daughter had taken.
Heartbreaks

Lorelei and Rory Gilmore had some distinct differences, but they also had some similarities within their storylines. Lorelei and her most serious relationship with Luke went through some rough times, with them separating a couple of times before a final reunion.
This meme compares Lorelei's relationship with Luke to Rory's relationship with Logan. More specifically, it compares the way in which they had their hearts broken while dating the same person on and off. It seemed for a time that Logan and Rory were endgame, but by the end of the series, Rory chose to reject his marriage proposal, ending their relationship.
