ASP wrote Rory as having little resilience, but would have other GG characters praise her to the skies over every little thing. It made Rory so unrelatable and was so mystifying.
For example Headmaster Charleston stating in AYITL that she was internally stronger then everyone else. I mean that is so puzzling.
And the Yale newspaper staff fawning over Rory to have her run the paper was just plain bizarre and laughable.
ASP tried to make us--the audience--believe Rory to be strong and good and kind hearted by having other characters tell us that, but she failed to SHOW it.
I so loved "early Rory", it's a shame that she became so very entitled and uncaring in later seasons/AYITL. 😡
