Grey's anatomy + lgbt+ characters

[sbd-laytall]

Random Grey's Anatomy Opinions (Part Four)

Arizona, Callie, Meredith, and Jo's short hair/bob eras were amazing, but Amelia's was so bad. Meredith's bangs era was also really bad, but Lexie's was really amazing (but then again, Lexie slayed in every hair era). Bailey and Maggie's season 19 hair styles were so pretty, and I bow down to the hair hair department for that. Simone's original curly hair was gorgeous, but I wasn't sure how to feel about her shorter and straighter hair, and I still have mixed feelings about it.

Even disregarding my dislike for Owen, Teddy's relationships with Koracick and Henry (say his name, Teddy!) were so much better and so much more compelling.

Eliza was not that bad of a character when she first started and people were definitely being so immature to her, but she did end up a really bad character (especially when she didn't tell anyone that Stephanie was missing).

Numerous dynamics that should've lezzed out at least once: Teddy & Cristina, Meredith & Cristina, Lexie & April, Addison & Meredith, April & Arizona, Cristina & Callie, Arizona & Herman, April & Cristina, Callie & Addison, Bailey & Addison, Jo & Stephanie, Lexie & Amelia.

Everyone guilt-tripping Meredith about leaving the hospital in season 18 was so immature and stupid because not only was it inconsiderate of Meredith's feelings, but it also indicated that the entire hospital would completely collapse without this one singular doctor.

Meredith is by no means the worst character, but she certainly isn't the best either.

While Amelia should've gotten to say goodbye to Derek and she had a right to be upset that she didn't get to, I can't really blame Meredith because her entire world turned on its axis and she was trying her hardest to keep herself together for her kids (and we all know Meredith is a constant mess on a good day).

In the early seasons, Izzie was a great, complex character (besides her really weird misogynistic hatred for Callie), but was quickly ruined when she slept with George and just went downhill after that.

Breaking up Winston and Maggie was a stupid decision because they were so cute, but I do understand that they had a lot of problems because Maggie and Winston did not really seem to know each other after their marriage.

Whenever the show brings out a new batch of interns, the show kind of shoots itself in the foot because it tries to balance the stories of the old cast and the new cast, but with more and more cast being accumulated, there's just not enough attention for the new members, so the general audience cares much less about them (there are exceptions with characters like Jo and Schmitt becoming fan favorites).

greys anatomy needs to be studied for how they turn all their lovable regulars into the most annoying bitches to ever grace television and if they’re lucky they’re redeemed by being killed off in a wild and graphic manner (other characters will not mourn or even mention them again after their exit episode despite everyone in that hospital being friends and/or related)

Also Arizona is called ‘our god’ in the same song

so in ‘Arizona march song’, Arizona’s state song, Arizona is called ‘our goddess and our queen’.

I wanna see someone draw that. That’s a great art idea.

sorry to bug again but if you get a chance I would love a 95 w/Arizona saying this to callie and callie responding with 42. i just feel like Arizona always has the big romantic speech so I would love to hear Callie say smt like that

Hey, thank you for your two prompts. 😊 I chose to fill this one and it took me right back into my Calzona feels! I hope you like it.

>>>>>>>>>>

It is a little after seven o’clock in the evening when they touch down at JFK, although their bodies are still on West Coast time. Sofia is curled up asleep in the window seat, unbothered by the bumpy descent. The chaos of packing, the emotions that came with saying goodbye to her friends, and the excitement of seeing her Mama again – not to mention today’s wedding chaos – had taken its toll on her, and she had passed out a little after their meal.

It had left Arizona alone with her thoughts for most of the five-hour flight. She hadn’t been able to concentrate on the movie playing on the small screen in front of her, although she had left it running with her headphones on so that she was not disturbed.

She has been feeling wistful all day, her head full of the memory of her own wedding day seven years ago. It brings a smile to her face even now as she remembers the vision of Callie walking down the aisle with Mark, of the vows they exchanged and the first dance they shared. Everything felt light and joyful in that moment. Even though there had been so many moments since that felt heavy and dark, her wedding day has never been tainted. It has always been one of her favourite memories.

Moving to New York is for Sofia, but Arizona feels like the move is opening up a part of her that she has kept locked away since she signed her divorce papers. A part of her that she hid from Eliza and a part of her she was too afraid to show Carina.

The part that has always belonged to Callie. She wonders if it still does.

“Hey sweetie, we’re here,” Arizona says, rousing her daughter.

As they wait to disembark, a message from Callie pops up on her phone, letting her know that her plan to meet them at the airport has been interrupted by a last-minute surgery. Arizona shoots her a message to let her know they have arrived but promising to see her later. After all, Arizona will be staying in the spare room for a couple of weeks until she moves into her own place a few blocks away. She had tried to insist that she stay in a hotel, but both Callie and Sofia had been adamant.

After collecting their luggage, they jump into a cab. Traffic delays their journey and the sun is starting to set when they arrive in the Upper West Side. They have Sofia’s key to let them inside and they settle into their rooms, before Sofia crashes out.

“Mommy?” Sofia says as Arizona turns off the light in her bedroom. “I’m really glad you’re here.”

“Me too,” Arizona says with a smile. “Sweet dreams, baby girl.”

It feels strange to be by herself in Callie’s apartment. There are family photos scattered around the surfaces: of Sofia at every age of her life so far, of Mark, even one with Arizona in it – the three of them, taken Sofia’s second birthday. None of Penny, she notes, and she wonders if that relationship really is over.

The evening is warm and Arizona pours herself a glass of wine before heading out onto the small balcony, making herself comfortable on one of the cushioned seats. She pulls out her phone. There are no more updates from Callie, and she scrolls through their messages until she finds the one from earlier today.

I can’t wait to see you!

The feeling is reciprocated, Arizona’s heart fluttering with a nervous excitement at the thought of seeing her ex-wife again. She thinks about the advice that April and Richard gave her earlier that day: to stay open to possibilities; about how the hurt of their past doesn’t have to define their future.

If they have a future. It is not like she knows what Callie is thinking or what is behind the texts she sends. That is a question for another day, she tells herself. For now, the wine is making her drowsy, the day catching up with her as her eyes start to droop, and she is lulled into a light sleep.

“Hey.”

A firm hand on her shoulder wakes Arizona a couple of hours later. It takes her a minute to remember where she is, blinking a few times before she looks up to see Callie standing beside her.

“Hey,” Arizona says with a tired smile.

“I’m sorry I’m home so late,” Callie says, sitting in the chair next to her. “How was the wedding?”

Arizona hums. “Let’s just say it didn’t go as planned.” She chuckles when she sees Callie’s eyebrows raise. “I’ll let Sofia tell you all about it in the morning. I promised her you’d go into her room when you got home.”

“I already have,” Callie says.

Her face lights up in the way it always has when she talks about her daughter and there it is again – that flutter in Arizona’s heart. She tries to push it aside.

“Did your surgery go okay?”

Callie rolls her eyes. “Another tourist who thought they could roller-skate around Central Park, even though they’ve never worn a pair of skates in their life.”

Arizona smiles, although she can’t stifle her yawn. “Sorry,” she says bashfully.

“You didn’t have to wait up for me, you know,” Callie says.

“I wanted to,” Arizona says, then blushes at what she has said. “I mean…”

She doesn’t really know what she means. Callie shoots her a look that she can’t quite read. Maybe it is the shadows or maybe she just needs some reassurance that what she is feeling isn’t one-sided.

“What happened with Penny?”

The question hangs in the silence between them for a moment.

“It didn’t work,” Callie says eventually. “I tried, but… I think I missed what we had so much that I was trying to recreate it somehow. I know what you and I had wasn’t perfect, but I missed it. I missed the joy and the warmth and the love. And I wanted that back, so I convinced myself that Penny was the one. But she wasn’t…”

She stops suddenly and Arizona can’t help but wonder if her next word was ‘you’.

“I’m sorry,” is all she says.

Callie looks over at her. “You are?”

Arizona meets her gaze and her heart flutters again.  

“I just want you to be happy, even if…” She hesitates, taking a long, slow breath. “Even if your happiness doesn’t include me, I just want you happy.”

Callie lets out a small laugh. “That’s the thing,” she says. “I don’t know if I can be happy without you. I’ve tried, but it turns out you’re pretty hard to forget.” She smiles. “It turns out… you’re the only person I’ve ever actually wanted to spend the rest of my life with.”

Arizona’s heart thumps in her chest and she wonders if Callie can hear it too in the stillness of the summer evening. She reaches out her hand and watches as Callie takes it.

“Well,” Arizona says slowly, “maybe you and I can go on a date sometime?”

She looks over at Callie nervously, but she isn’t left waiting for an answer for long.

“I’d really like that,” Callie says.

Arizona smiles as she squeezes Callie’s hand, her head rolling back against the chair so that she can look out at the city in below them. With that one simple question, her heart flutters with the knowledge that they are both open to the possibility of finding love with each other again.

another long obnoxious stream of my thoughts while watching greys anatomy for the first time (season 13 bc nobody has stopped me!!)

-oh my god meredith please just tell her you slept with riggs

-yeah DUH amelia you should have gotten to know each other better before you got married

-can i just say that i will never ever base my preconceptions of a show off tiktok again lol. before i watched this show i fully expected to hate maggie and april. i’m nervous bc i’ve also seen people who haven’t watched pp say they hated amelia but so far i don’t see why.

-i’m confused?? amelia has definitely mentioned her anencephalic baby to owen before. maybe she hasn’t laid out the whole story but she definitely mentioned him some time after derek died.

-oooh murphy is back

-bailey is not stupid so why is she acting stupid??? of course this prison has scarce medical resources and the doctors are overworked. what planet do you live on?

-trying to cut dr eliza some slack bc she’s just doing her job, but she could probably do it a way that’s less irritating

-imo alex deserves to be punished. way too many main characters get off too easy when they make fucked up choices. but i selfishly don’t want him to go to prison lol

-bailey is starting to seriously piss me off. i’m not saying all the attendings are in the right for the way they’re acting but what did she think would happen if she brought in some abrasive stranger to take a sledgehammer to their program and undermine the authority of a bunch of tight knit surgeons who are often times like a group of talented toddlers with scalpels

-they should have done a chemistry read with jessica capshaw before they cast minnick lmao. the flirting is so bad and the “sexual tension” thing they’re trying to is almost laughable.

-why on earth WOULDN’T you want an actual peds surgeon to supervise a child’s surgery? whatever phase two of your teaching program whatever…. but what the fuck?

-also “this isn’t about me it’s about edwards” rubs me the wrong way bc actually it’s about the fucking patient

-i think they’ve introduced new exterior shots this season. i like ‘em

-owen pisses me off bc he’s actually a really good friend, but an appallingly bad partner

-maggie could stand to chill out a little bit, even if she doesn’t know about the cancer.

-“a place she loved… by the water” RICHARD

-maggie’s mom is so real “orgasms. they are not a gift. it’s your right” “i wanna die with my eyelashes on”

-the synchronized lasagna eating is what finally made me cry. RIP diane

-“her heart beat for derek shepherd. it never occurred to me that she would be with anyone else” jesus fucking christ why don’t you chill out a little bit arizona

-i like this plane episode a lot. i know it’s not *technically* a bottle episode but it feels like one. what are the odds somebody can be in TWO emergency plane situations in the same handful of years

-meredith definitely fucked up and she should’ve told maggie about riggs WAY sooner but (and i feel mean saying this) maggie is being a little dramatic about a guy she didn’t actually date. it’s the principle though, so i get it.

-jo’s secret abusive husband is will shuester?????

-these fake outs with alex and paul are giving me heart palpitations.

-of course amelia speaks german. that’s so hot

-maybe i’m stupid but i think that if there’s a fire, all the doors to outside should automatically be unlocked

-minnick sucks ridiculously hard

You’ll Really Come With Me?

Arizona swore she wouldn’t meet anyone else. But then @brashdynamism started at Grey+Sloan and her world sort of flipped upside down in a good way. Eliza has been supportive of Arizona and her being Sofia’s mother and at a crossroads on what to do. She wasn’t sure if Eliza could take off, or even if she could. She knew they were both busy but Arizona just feels like she is missing everything if she was being completely honest. 

She walked from her bedroom after getting off the phone with Sofia and walked downstairs to join Eliza. She plopped down on the couch beside her and she rested her head against the back of the couch and sighing. “Sorry about that. I would’ve been here sooner but Sofia wouldn’t let me hang up until I promised I would come see her when she’s out of school for a week, which I want to, but you know? I just can’t promise with our line of work. But I also feel like I’m missing so much out of her everyday life, that I feel I need to go.” 

This was Arizona sort of thinking out loud and also talking to herself but needing advice from Eliza if she was listening. She knew what she needed to do and wanted to do, but would her job allow her to take the full week off? And besides getting on a plane, still isn’t easy for Arizona as well.

omg feel better! excited for your return :)

i'm new here and just finished s12... kinda regret going through with this it's painful at best. i'm realizing that jealousy means two very different things to callie and arizona post divorce. do you have thoughts on this?

first off, welcome! and kudos for finishing s12

i think what a lot of the jealousy issues in calzona boil down to is that arizona doesn't really feel like she has any right to be jealous throughout their relationship. first, it's because they've just started dating, then arizona's not ever allowed to have any negative feelings about mark, then arizona's depressed and miserable, then she cheats and loses (in her mind) any right to feel possessive over callie. and for callie, until arizona cheats, i don't think she ever really felt like she needed to be jealous. arizona never really was disloyal/moved on in any way, even when they were broken up (which tbh can't be said for callie - *cough cough* the knee girl *cough cough* mark) it never really occurred to callie to be jealous, beyond that moment in s8, but even then, none of those women were at all serious with arizona, which, i think, made callie seem more secure.

as for post divorce, so much of arizona's behavior in s11/12 is super overcompensation. she's trying so hard to not hold callie back, not be the one clinging to their marriage, that she's out there with the whole "kiss everyone" thing. she was jealous of callie moving on, but she was also hyper conscious of the fact that she wasn't allowed to be jealous anymore. and we never really see callie in a situation to be jealous post divorce, but tbh i think she'd take either of carina or eliza pretty poorly.

i wish grey’s did these little messages thing they do with cristina sometimes but with calzona throughout season 13(maybe even add a few phone calls from arizona’s perspective). like, them fighting over texts? sign me up. arizona leaning in to kiss eliza or something and suddenly her phone chimes and it’s callie and she’s suddenly a dumbfounded mumbling mess? everybody cheered

UGH wait this would be so good oh my god! imagine if all of s13 and 14 was spent watching calzona get to the point where they actively flirt via text, all while they’re literally both in relationships. we were so robbed

ailesswhumptober day 16: drowning / hostile environment / "i don't know how anybody could survive that"

chapter 2 / 7 of you fall and you crawl and you break | not rated, chose not to warn

a chorus of car alarms began as the street rumbled. jackie instinctively moved towards the window, to see what could have possible caused such a loud sound, but her dad's firm hands on her shoulders pulled her back.

"remember what they said on the news, baby."

jackie nodded. a week full of emergency broadcasts interrupting everything from early morning cartoons to the weather was hard to forget. 

"if we see the hulk, we can't let him see us," jackie said. "but why? he's a hero, like the falcon. and he only hurts bad people, and we're not bad people, are we, and also are we sure this isn't just an earthquake? we learned about earthquakes in school last week. miss eliza said that - "

"jackie. you keep still, you keep outta his sight. if he can see you - and he shouldn't, baby, we'll be far away before that can happen - you don't look him in the eye." dad made her promise that she wouldn't, and she agreed, 'cause he promised her that there wouldn't be a chance of it happening, but it did. 

their entire block seemed to collapse within a minute. the hulk's roar was even louder than the helicopters that hovered above him. they looked like jackie's toys when they were so close to the hulk's large hands; he even crushed them like she would when playing pretend. 

the hulk stood in the middle of what used to be a house, surrounded by flames and scraps of cars. jackie gasped as she saw him, 'cause how could she not, and somehow he heard and slowly, slowly turned his head around. green eyes, so bright that they could rival the glow-in-the dark stars on her ceiling, stared right at her. neither of them moved for the longest second of jackie's short life, and then the hulk crouched and jumped away.

"i don't get it. how can anybody survive that?"

"we did, baby." dad coughed. "we did."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

old mrs. melrose's version of the story lined up with the cop's and the father's in the way that a late night talk show host's monologue of the news is technically but not usually accurately considered a news report. it was more amusing, and a welcome distraction from the actual story, but it wasn't one jackie could afford to waste time on. 

"he was a monster," the old lady had said. "a devil," said the priest whose name she already forgot; she could always rewind her recordings and check the transcript, if necessary. the bartender and the cop loosely identified another witness, but with all that went on and went down after the fight in the church, no one bothered to follow up on him. 

on the record, no one else seemed to connect that the witness in south dakota matched the description of the john doe from the gas station in arizona, which matched a similar body in colorado not far from where bruce banner supposedly called the EPA into a cemetery. no one wanted to think about the implications of all the sudden gamma related deaths charting a similar path. no one except walter langkowski, to jackie's delight and her editor's chagrin.

the herald couldn't afford to cover the expenses, but langkowski had no such qualms and was glad to pay for anything and everything they might need as they headed towards tennessee. he talked with great enthusiasm and theatrics as he described his past with bruce, and actually managed to surprise jackie with some of the stories.

"i gotta be honest with you, mcgee, i'm concerned at how much people have forgotten these things or if shield's scrubbed it all from public record."

"there's another option," jackie added, "which is that they simply don't care. what i don't understand is how he could've survived all that."

walt shrugged from just outside her peripheral. "he's the hulk. that's what he does."

"oh, i've accepted that long ago. i meant bruce; the things you said about his parents and what happened before he arrived at penn, i don't know how anybody could survive that."

they slowed to a stop at the red light, and their conversation stalled with the car. walt sighed as he ran his hands through his wild mane of hair, then asked, "remember what i told you about replicating bruce's process?"

"what you said two minutes ago? yeah, it's gonna be hard to forget that." 

the light changed to green, and walt's energy returned.

"one of the things i tried to be sure of was that by creating my own hulk, i'd be the one in control, not him. and it was so, so easy to do that, mcgee, to move around as sasquatch while still being me. everyone kept praising me for it. they figured that since my body was stronger than bruce's, and i had a better handle on it than he did, that's what made it easier."

he paused and gave her time to hear what he hadn't said. 

"it wasn't the body. or it wasn't just the body, or the differences in your physicality. or the way yours was a deliberate transformation, each time, while his was accidental. bruce… bruce didn't survive all of that, at least not on his own."

"now you're getting it, mcgee."

jackie had believed walt when he said he had total control over sasquatch. she thought she had seen proof when the knife was plunged into his back and he bled uncontrollably. 

and then bruce banner arrived at the hospital and told her to get everyone out. "he's got the same gamma signature as i do, you understand? walt may not make it off that operating table, but someone else will."

---

the hulk that jackie met in minnesota resembled the one she remembered from arizona, in the way that he was massive and green, but that's where the similarities ended. the hulk she remembered from her youth gained strength and power through his anger; the more he was pushed, the harder he pushed back. he didn't seem to be aware or care about the people behind the guns and aircraft attacking him, and that's what scared her.

the hulk in minnesota, the one who fought a beast who was neither sasquatch nor langkowski, was mindful of their location. he avoided the corpses already on the ground, tried to prevent another from joining their ranks, and used himself as a vessel to contain what was left of walt's gamma radiation. he spoke with the same urgency and clarity as banner, carried the same tension in his shoulders, and clenched his jaw and his fists and listened instead of tearing the place apart.

"gamma makes me stronger," he explained, and left it at that. 

he pieced together that this wasn't an ordinary story for jackie, told her to tell him exactly why she cared to follow them around if she couldn't even look at them, and that's what scared her. 

"fine!" she confessed as she stood up to look hulk in the face. "it is personal, and i have to ask - how do i get to be what you are?!" 

the hulk merely sighed, told jackie to go home, and walked away. 

she went with walt to the alpha flight station instead, learned of the one below all, and wished for a brief moment that she never heard of the hulk. she blamed the adrenaline on the stupid question which she already had the tragic answer to, eavesdropped on carol's plan to take down banner, and waited for the station's comms to alert her of the news.

if anybody could survive a fight to the death against the avengers, it would be hulk.
