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).

[ovrarches]

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)

[the-walrus-eliza]

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.

[horsetailcurlers2]

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

[spookyrobbins]

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.

Last Song: Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land - MARINA (I'm working on a playlist for my new D&D character)

Last Movie: my friends all watched Princess Mononoke the other day

Currently Reading: I wish I could say a book but mostly OFMD fanfic. Two recs for your consideration: A Hook AU that's very good, and Sugarcoated, a new baking AU by the authors of the tiny house AU that I love.

Currently Watching: random true crime vids on youtube

Currently Consuming: AriZona Fruit Punch

Currently Craving: chocolate ice cream but I don't have any :(

[pearlcages]

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

[nthspecialll]

Hiii! I love all your character analysis posts and theories so much, and was wondering if you have done any theories about where the gang was before Blackwater, by chance? I think I saw a post recently mentioning Montana but I can't for the life of me remember if it was you who posted it or not! 😅

But I've wondered about their locations before RDR2 a lot and would love to hear your thoughts about it. I remember reading a very early page in Arthur's journal about how they were in the Northen Grizzlies? But apart from that I can't remember anything else about locations, if there were any mentioned. And I'm sorry if you have done a post like this already, it's just a little piece of the backstory I'd like to hear theories about 😊

I have not talked about it but I definetely can! Also thank you for liking my stuff!!

Well, firstly, some places that exist in real life does not exist in red dead and those are the places on the map. Texas is New Austin, New Orleans is Saint Denis and Luisiana is Lemoyne, meanwhile Californa and New York does exist in game, meaning we can't completely be sure what places exist unless they are directly mentioned.

Firstly, we know they have been in Chicago, that is where Dutch and Hosea met! Then in 1877 the pair went to Kettering, Ohio, where they scammed 300$ out of the residents, later that year we know that they met Arthur in the Northern states somewhere, which could also be Montana! We do not know more than it was someplace in the North.

We also know some time before they met Arthur, they went to Blackwater once but exactly when we do not know.

In 1885 we know they were in Illinois, saving and picking up John Marston and two years later they robbed their first bank Lee and Hoyt, which we do not know where is.

But between then and 1898, they robbed 36 banks across the frontier as stated by Ross in rdr1, which is where we get the famous "We were told there was a price when we reached 50." The wiki page of the VDL gang does say they came to Montana in 1898 but they won't give me source to confirm it, which is a little annoying, but just mentioning it.

We know at some point between 1893 and 1898, after Bill joining the gang, they went to Canada, him, Arthur and Uncle robbing a bank together.

At some point between 1895 and 1897, we also know they went to Tocson Arizona, where Javier and Arthur robbed a bank together with Karen who dressed up as a nun and hid firearms under her clothing.

We also know that for a while they would return to the same places for Arthur's romances. Both with Eliza, where he could pop by every few months and for Mary, whom they at least returned to after 1894 when Abigail joined, and before the deaths of Annabelle and Bessie.

Either way, now we come to the fun parts, around winter 1898, the gang was up in what is called the Northern Grizzles, we only have access to the western (Around Mount Hagen) and Eastern (O'Creagh's Run), so I would assume that the Northen are outside the map, probably up above the Wapiti Reservation somewhere.

They traveled down the "Western Foothill of the mountians", not sure what road they took as it could be one off map, which I would honestly guess, probably traveling around the cold of Colter and coming in from left side of the map. Either way, they most likely ended up somewhere down by and Big Valley, which can match up with the fact that Arthur mentions that life was good and food was easy to find. That area does have a lot of easy food access and so forth.

Now I have seen a few people say Dutch met Micah in Strawberry, which is honestly very fair assumption, it matches up with a lot, but a simple fact is forgotten, Strawberry does not have a bar, which is where they met.

I would say that Micah most likely had been in Strawb and done, whatever business he had with Slim and Martha (I believe their names were), and traveled up and out of map where he met Dutch and then decided to join them back down.

Afterwards they traveled down to Blackwater where they "hid in plain sight" right outside town as Arthur says he does not like being so close to the town, and considering how close they were to Valentine, I would guess they camped at the ledges where Charles and Javier hides when going to find Sean, either there or the other side of the town.

But even though they were camped so close to down, Arthur funnily enough still stayed in town from time to time. It does however not seem that they were settled there or in Big Valley for very long, as Arthur also says that they have been running more than normally those weeks.

Now we get to a bit that confuses me because suddenly the group goes from the southern part of the map down in Blackwater, to suddenly appearing up by Spider Grove by Colter, and Arthur mentions that they headed "east over the Grizzlies" so they went west from Blackwater, out of the map, and then up North only to go east again. Not to mention that it seems they did it in a fairly short time, they haven't had proper time to talk about what happened, they were still shook, Davey was not yet dead from a gut wound and Jenny was burried not far from where we first see the gang?

See that is a little confusing, but I hope that answers your question! I had a lot of fun answering it at least, rereading Arthur's journal and all.

More Live Music

Nancy and I managed to last three hours today at the Sunday edition of the 39th Annual Tucson Folk Festival. We got to see some of The Jane Heirs, Carlos Arzate & the Kind Souls, Mark Insley & the Broken Angels, Sophia Rankin & the Sound, the Out of Kilters, and Ron Pandy & the Wild Pitch Band.

There were other performances both Saturday and Sunday we would have liked to have seen, but we just couldn't stick around long enough or run back and forth to different stages quickly enough to manage that large a selection.

There have been a lot of wonderful acts at the Tucson Folk Festival over the years. Eliza Gilkyson, Tish Hinojosa, Asleep at the Wheel, the Austin Lounge Lizards, Richie Havens, Watkins Family Hour, Ray Wylie Hubbard, David Bromberg, Chris Hillman, Pokey LaFarge, Guy Clark, and many, many more.

Every year since 1986—except for 2020, when it was cancelled due to COVID—the festival has featured multiple stages of music in traditional, contemporary, and cultural genres. It has grown to be Arizona’s largest free music festival and annually attracts more than 20,000 fans and talented performers from all over Southern Arizona and across the country. I have been fortunate to attend many of the festivals over the years.

I joked with some people that we might just come back to Tucson for the Folk Festival every year. One person mentioned that Eugene has a good music community, so we look forward to exploring that once we get settled.

[brashdynamism]

Fear had never stopped Eliza from doing anything, but when it came to children, she thought that she would never get over that fear. However, meeting Arizona had shown her that maybe it wasn’t so scary. Eliza knew from the moment she started dating Arizona that she had a kid and that child was a massive part in Arizona’s life. What better way to show Arizona that she was ready to meet Sofia than to book plane tickets?

“I know I didn’t have to do this, but I wanted to. You should be there for Sofia’s big soccer game at her camp anyway.” She said, a smile crossing her features again. “I know you hate flying, but I’ll be there. I’ll hold your hand every step of the way.”

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.
