[[WMG: Lorelai has ADHD.]]
We get an example of her thought process in Season Seven and she jumps from one train of thought to the next in a way that feels like a mental example of a WikiWalk. It would, of course, also explain her forgetfulness and perceived immaturity. It's possible that Rory may also have it, but if so Lorelai is more on the hyperactive side while Rory is more on the inattentive side.

[[WMG: The show is ''Rory's'' fantasy. Lorelai actually gave her up for adoption and she didn't meet her biological parents until she was sixteen.]]
Lorelai, not wanting to risk marrying her boyfriend at sixteen or raising her child alone ''or'' just having her child grow up in the ever so strict Gilmore house, decided to sacrifice her baby girl for adoption. Rory was adopted by a set of (young adult) parents in Stars Hollow and named in honor of her birth mother. While Rory was being spoiled by her adoptive family, Lorelai and Christopher had a slightly more healthy breakup, with Lorelai finally leaving her parents after graduating high school and going to business school while working as a maid. Rory found out she was adopted at sixteen, and decided to reunite with both Lorelai and Christopher. She suddenly becomes close to Lorelai and yearns for her attention and approval while having mixed feelings towards Christopher. This leads her to imagine what her life would've been like if Lorelai had just kept her. Rory even manages to fit her caretaker and older friend Luke into her story by making him Rory's paternal figure in place of Chris. This explains most of the unrealistic things that occur on the show, like Lorelai being constantly portrayed as a "cool hip mom" and the two Gilmore girls always being portrayed in the right regardless of how right their detractors were.

After getting pregnant with Rory, Lorelai and Christopher get married and live with her parents. Christopher gets into the insurance business but hates every minute of it, and over the years becomes cold and distant towards his wife and daughter, whom he resents for taking his freedom. Lorelai also feels stifled and depressed, and has a strained relationship with Rory, who is a fairly normal if somewhat spoiled rich kid. The show is Lorelai's fantasy about how life could have been if she had struck out on her own. This explains the somewhat unrealistic ease with which she juggles her various responsibilities. Stars Hollow doesn't actually exist, and is simply a creation of Lorelai's imagined ideal town.

[[WMG: Kirk is actually a series of Replicants]]
There's multiple Kirks built to perform menial jobs throughout Stars Hollow. We only happen to see one at a time. This is why Kirk shows up in so many jobs, and seems to lack an understanding of human social conventions. The one dating Lulu and attempting to buy the Twickum House is one that has become more similar to humans.

Ever since Christopher and Sherri's relationship has been going downhill, Sherri has been having intimate relationships with other men. But when Sherri heard that Lorelai and Chris may be getting back together, she immediately announced her pregnancy to him, easily claiming he was the father thanks to both PlausibleDeniability and RuleOfPerception.

For the brief period he was on the show, Jamie was treated as a generic cute boyfriend before being discarded in favor of Paris' zanier romances. But when you actually pay attention to the scenes and the plotlines involving him there was something fishy about the guy. First he ghosts on Paris after a seemingly good date. Then he waltzes back into her life months later when it suits ''him'', downplays his ghosting with a non-apology emphasizing ''his'' needs and priorities, and "doesn't take no for an answer"--nonchalantly confiscates Paris' textbooks to make her follow him (when Tristan did the same thing to Rory we were supposed to be angry along with her). More importantly, he low-key takes advantage of her in terms of their first sexual experience--even though we never see how it actually played out, Paris clearly expresses she didn't expect to have sex that day and didn't initiate it, and it's obvious from her reaction she wasn't in the least bit ready for this experience mentally or emotionally, as she seems to be left with an insane amount of anxiety and guilt instead of any contentment or warm feelings. Her jumping right into Asher Fleming's arms would also seem less out-of-place if she was actually seriously unhappy with Jamie, even if she wasn't entirely conscious of being mistreated (due to low self-esteem, everyone else's high opinion of Jamie etc).

[[WMG: Rory was neither more or less of a jerk than most kids.]]
As the child of a single mother with the emotional maturity of a teenager, Rory spent her childhood being sweet and agreeable to ease her own sense of guilt. There is no reason to assume she was unaware they were struggling, or that she never felt like she was the reason her mother never had a long-term relationship. So basically, she was a regular kid, and as an adult she is more like her mother, but the contrast between that and what she acted like as a kid makes it seem worse.

** I wouldn't be surprised if even ASP had that in mind (almost certainly not when writing the series, but when writing "A Year In The Life") that Rory's book is supposed to be the 7 season series we had watched. I don't think the character differences were so jarring in the revival, except possibly for Rory herself. It certainly seems, given the PuritySue status Rory seemed to have in the series (and ''not'' in the revival) that it's easy to interpret the series as having been written from Rory's point of view. If one looks at it this way, the one period Rory looked kind of bad in the series was when she stole the boat and ended up dropping out of Yale-- not really for that, as she was right that she shouldn't be spending her grandparents' money at Yale while she was unsure what life to pursue (regardless of how much they had), but for the inertia after that, for which Jess when stopping by called her out. One can imagine that was the one time period she wrote negatively about herself because she felt bad about how she behaved then, so she wrote negatively about that, but came off very positively otherwise, as she was the narrator.
