I’ve never been huge Calzona shipper because it always seemed like Callie was apologizing and compromising while Arizona just expected that Callie would fall in line to whatever she wanted. Her perkiness hides a lot of flakiness and meanness, in my opinion. Plus all the biphobia (yes it’s a product of its time but it’s still pretty shitty like she’s your wife). I actually wanted Arizona to die instead of Mark plane but that didn’t happen weirdly the cheating breathed new life to dynamic for me, but a break right after where they found their way back and eventually moved would’ve been ideal. Not the slow rot that ended up being their relationship. Like for as much as their relationship was groundbreaking and impressively for the time, I also think a lot of things fell to the wayside and would’ve rather had seen Callie get with somebody else and have that same consideration instead of watching her constantly begging for Arizona to just like, get her and give her some grace.
I agree with so many of your points here!
Arizona has always brought a very commanding energy to any situation - partly because of how she was raised and partly because she was simply in an authority figure role from the moment she stepped on screen. She was learning to bend for others in her relationship with Callie, but she was never very good at it.
And as such, Callie did become small in her shadow. Even when Callie was doing incredible things in her field. She was a remarkable doctor, they made that much quite clear, but she’d been through so much already by the time Arizona arrived and Arizona never quite seemed to fully understand all of it.
Which isn’t entirely any one specific characters fault; communication is a two-way street. And the writers just don’t always have time for those frank discussions in a 43-minute ensemble show.
Their story was revolutionary at the time it was told, at least for me. I don’t know about you anon, but I’d grown up being forcefully closeted by my peers and hearing adults connote homosexuality with being a pedophile. Callie and Arizona’s story was the first time I saw queer women safe and happy (and openly out! and bisexual!) on screen and it changed my life for the better.
That biphobia though… yes. It was ingrained in the fandom as a result. It was something I, too, had to unpack and unlearn as a young queer because I hadn’t been shown any different.
The cheating, while trope and sort of antithetic to positive queer stories, did breathe new life into their story. And shook them up in a way that they desperately needed to become themselves without each other again. How fascinating it would’ve been to have had Callie navigating back to herself with Mark as a support! Thank you for putting that in my head.

made this post for sapphic reasons
Edit: assume this post says “working class/woman who destroys the rich”, and not WOC ‘cause I got it wrong. Ana de Armas is not a WOC — she’s Caucasian and of Spanish/Cuban descent which is her ethnicity.

for the iwtv ask game 🐣 🕶️ 🦇🎤
Thanks for the ask!
🐣: Whose Fledgling would you rather be?
Lestat because I would prefer he not be in my head and also it would be massively nice and complimentary that he would find me beautiful enough to turn when I do not find myself to be beautiful.
🕶️: Would you like to read people's minds?
Yes. I would use it to manipulate humans into doing my version of reality TV or stuff like Jerry Springer. Lol
🦇: Fave scene from S1
I reallly love Daniel reading Louis for filth in the finale because Louis needs to be read constantly in his denial period. But also the Church Scene from episode 1 is fantastic and gives me chills every time.
🎤: What genre of music would you like to hear from Lestat?
Well if he's not Glam Rock as writ, this is a pop girlie, a pop diva, a pop icon in my head. I know a lot of people like the numetal or more grunge or emo stuff and I do get that. But, to me, Lestat is, you know, 🎶 Primadonna girl, yeah, all I ever wanted was the world, I can't help that I need it all, the Primadonna life the rise and fall, you say that I'm kinda difficult, but it's always someone else's fault, got you wrapped around my finger babe, you can count on me to misbehave🎵😜
#ask game#interview with the vampire#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#daniel molloy#i oversimplify with lestat obviously but he gives me glam rock and pop vibes#lile just a whole banger and then a deep ballad that makes you want to tear your eyes out#so to me he can be bowie and twisted sister and queen and yeah hedwig and rocky horror#but he's also cher and gaga and marina and st. vincent and florence and janelle and yeah even a lil chappell 🤷🏻♀️

Since my brain is still stuck on Starbreaker fake dating au I honestly think I actually like more than fake dating is fake engagement because then you get the characters vamping when asked to come up with a proposal story
#I know we’re leaning into Craigslist bf but I actually like the idea of them just. asking this favor of their teacherfriend it’s so fucking#so funny to me plus there’s the aspect of like#you think I can’t do this stardiamond????? I know you like the back of my hand. I know everything about you#I’ll be the best fake finance you could ever ask for. or the reverse#shut up Janelle#starbreaker

The layers this movie has, almost like an onion.
#glass onion#knives out#im still not over all the parallels OTL this movie#its about how miles always uses someone elses work and words for his own#and so helen and blanc use his own monologue against him in the end#how the shitheads truly cant do anything on their own#either the puzzle in the beginning or stand up for the truth as helen asks them or basically their whole live to be non dependant on miles#and how blanc is essential for the help there but the final actions and words belong to helen *mhaw*#glass onion spoilers#glass onion a knives out mystery#daniel craig#janelle monae#benoit blanc#helen brand#mine#gif:knivesout

@tired-old-men Seth: ALRIGHT FUCKERS. PREPARE YOUR ASSES TO GET RATED OR MORE LIKE ROASTED. I must break you all down if you are to be built up again. I will start bottom to top.
"Okay. First of all, I must ask...is it normal for the people in your universe to be just NAKED?! Don't you ever get cold? or uncomfortable? or even get scuffed up at all?! And those gloves... Knuckles, honey, how can you pick up anything with those? Those don't seem at all practical. The shoes are...fine. I don't understand them but MY Knuckles wears the same so I suppose I can't complain too much... 4 out of 10... I can't bring myself to go any lower for some version of my grandson, even if he's not mine "
"Well, you're still without pants, but at least you have something covering your top half. Albeit something UTTERLY plain. Everything about your ensemble is PLAIN! I can feel myself YAWNING the more I look at you! Without the boots and those dysfunctional gloves, I would've thought you stepped out of a shower! Spruce it up a little! 5 out 10"
"...(sigh) Okay, I see that pantlessness is going to be a norm. Lets see what else here. Yet again, a plain and and questionable fit. A tunic? just cause your an older man doesn't mean you need to look ancient! And those IMPRACTICAL GLOVES! Are those ALSO A NORM IN THIS FAMILY!?! Not sure how you can type on that keypad there without your FINGERS! (huffs)... I'm not sure if the monocle is simply for aesthetic or has a function specifically but it at least draws people to your face. That's something... 5 and a half out of 10"
"...Hon... it's giving roadkill. HOW can that be comfortable? That looks so bug infested and scratchy that it makes ME feel like ltching! And those beads... Those shoes, I'd recommend sandals over those if you REALLY want your toes out. Those are gonna slip off SO easily! Eugh, those beads, it looks like you got a bunch of candy on your spines! A kids gonna come and chew on 'em at any second. AND WHAT'S WITH THE MARACAS AROUND YOUR NECK?! 2 outta 10 this fit is a mess. I get wanting to be eccentric but this AIN'T IT"
"Girlie... why the bathrobe and slippers? It's giving GRANDMA not GUARDIAN. Surely as a Guardian, that CANNOT be practical on the job. I can't imagine even ME being able to do my work in a bathrobe. And I can do it in heels! Unless you're working from home, you need a change, sweetie... but other then that. It's fine. 6 out of 10".
"Boy, you better be grateful I don't have any scissors right now BECAUSE I'D BE ON YOUR ASS TRIMMING THAT BIRDS NEST. WHAT IS THAT? IT LITERALLY LOOKS A BUNCH OF WEEDS IN A GARDEN. THIS ENTIRE LOOK JUST... GAG. These colours do NOT go together at ALL! And it hurts my eyes more cause your purple fur could be SO GOOD! And don't even get me started on those SHOULDER PADS- 2 AND HALF OUT OF 10!!"
"Oh CHAOS-talk about leaving NOTHING to the imagination! Somehow this upsets me more than Knuckles! Adding a boring vest doesn't make this an entire outfit, but I think what makes me more mad is. THAT. WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR HEAD. IS THAT YOUR HARDDRIVE? A SCANNER FOR YOUR HEAD? WILL IT BEEP IF I TRY AND SCAN SOMETHING ON IT- (lowkey wanna try that now-) AND HOW IS THAT EVEN STAYING UP THERE?! This whole outfit boggles me and leaves me upset. 2 out of 10"
"Hm... While I'm not sure WHAT you're going for, at least you're sticking to your aesthetic. I dig it. AND your fully clothed. Good. I'm unsure about that helmet but if your not uncomfortable then go for it. Not the most practical but you seem to make it work. 8 outta 10"
"Oh the hat's a nice touch! I always like a nice hat. The green isn't a bad choice colour wise. But the rest of the outfit I feel could be improved... especially the giant T on the top. I can't quite take that seriously, just makes me think of kids in an old sitcom or cartoon. BUT it's not bad. 6 out of 10".
"Ah. I see where the hat came from now... but hat can't save you from that bizarre piece, what even is that? a vest strap on? A harness?? and AGAIN WITH THE INITIAL ON THE CLOTHES?? If you at least wore assless-chaps it wouldn't be such a shocker with your cowboy looking ass. Dear lord. 3 out of 10"
"(Deeeeeeeeep siiiiigh)...I really wanna like this. I really do. I can see you have a specific vibe. I can SEE WHAT YOU WERE GOING FOR but... IT FUMBLED!! HARD!! No wonder you need that stick you fell off hard. You could get such better robes, hon. 5 out of 10"
"Is... is this a joke? You look like you got a piece of cheese SLAPPED onto your forehead. SMACK- looking like a farmer with those denim looking overalls... well almost cause what a surprise. NOTHING ON THOSE LEGS. Bland. Boring. Just a bad fit buddy. 1 out of 10. "
"Annnnd barely any improvement on the next one. Minus the random slice of cheese on the head, just traded that and the denim looking top for a useless belt, boring vest and random little accessory on the spine. I don't even have anything to say about this. There's just NOTHING. 1 out of 10"
(the sound of a facepalm) "Oh Chaos-...I KNOW I SAID BORING WAS BAD BUT THIS ISN'T ANY BETTER!! WHAT-WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? ARE THOSE THE RIGHT PRESCRIPTION!? CAN YOU EVEN SEE HOW YOU LOOK RIGHT NOW?! Theres high fashion and then theres fashion you pull off when your HIGH- YOU SIR ARE THE LATTER! 0 OUT OF 10. I would say i'm sorry... but I'M NOT AT ALL SORRY! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!"
"And back to boring... you are literally just wearing a long V neck and some boots... so many basic bitches in this household my GOD- 1 out of 10".
"...Now. While I'm not entirely sure about the idea of dressing like a tv show character in my day to day... you're at least sticking to it. You're committed to the fit and have the passion behind it, that I can get behind. While I'd rather an INSPIRED fit than just the exact replica as an outfit, this is at least a more interesting yet still not an eyesore to look at compared to the other outfits I've seen so far. 7 out of 10".
"...my sanity at this point is hanging by the thread...THE SAME THREAD I'M ABOUT TO USE ON THOSE DAMN BROWS OF YOURS. You are LITERALLY WEARING NOTHING BUT A BELT, BOOTS AND THOSE GODDAMN GLOVES. AT LEAST KNUCKLES DOESN'T WASTE TIM WITH A USELESS BELT. IT'S NOT EVEN A FASHION STATEMENT. THAT WOULD REQUIRE IT BEING FASHIONABLE. 1 out of 10. The only reason your not a zero is because of the rings... I like some good spine rings but that IS ONLY SAVING YOU BY A ZERO BY AN INCH. PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON".
"Now I was about to say this is basically a repeat of another outfit, version 0.1... but I then noticed YOUR NOT WEARING THOSE GODDAMN GLOVES. Immediately an improvement. Far from perfect but this is still much better than many others... but WHAT is that on your head... that looks like something people use to look at gemstones. Thought you were supposed to be a scientist...".
Seth: Phew... Right? That everyone in that picture? Well. Those are my starter notes. Now, how about I give some suggestions on what you could all wear to-
Fae: SETH! GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK!! IT'S BEEN HOURS!!
Seth: Hold on Fae, I'm not finished!-HEY! DON'T YANK ON THIS JACKET THIS WAS NOT CHEAP! THIS COST MORE THAN YOUR PHONE- STOP IT!!
Fae: GIVE ME MY PHONE! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH!
Seth: Oh please I've barely scratched the-HEY HEY DON'T SCRATCH THE JACKET- OKAY- OKAY! HERE! I'M SORRY!
Fae: thank you...
Seth: (clears throat)...Well. I best be off now. Tata... Get yourselves some pants though, seriously. Fae: Seth, please... Seth: I'm going- byeeeeeeee~
Fae: (sighs in embarrassment) Sorry, guys...

I think if gay men can have that one specific female artist they fawn over and if lesbians can have their special little guy they're obsessed with, it shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for arospec folks to have a crush or two on their favorite fictional characters or random person they'll never actually end up with in the long run
#Hayley Speaks#Before anyone asks or reblogs this; I was thinking about Bill crushing on Quentin Trembley#And also Dipper crushing on Wendy and Pacifica but mostly that first thing#Also don't get it twisted; I wholeheartedly support the gay men in love with Lady Gaga or Janelle Monáe#Or the lesbians who want to study those dudes from Disco Elysium like bugs

If you could redo Calzona how would you have them end up?
Oh God, WHAT A GOOD QUESTION.
Okay, so Calzona fell apart for me when they stopped acknowledging what they’d given us in If/Then (arguably one of my top episodes). IF they were telling us that Calzona was endgame, THEN they needed to honour that. (I wished.)
So, toss out all the bullshit about Arizona cheating because of the miscarriage. That was total crap, in my opinion - Arizona needn’t have gone through an additional trauma to have made a mistake. If she’s a human character, she makes bad choices and can understandably be a bad guy sometimes. Nobody is perfect and nobody loses value because their choices don’t always align with proper morals. Also, her wanting to be pregnant after not wanting kids at all? Crap crap crap, total bull crap. That was a leap for me.
I would’ve had them take a break from each other somewhere. Arizona had been through so much trauma from the plane crash and her amputation and needed to figure her shit out. The cheating was her trying to FIND something and what she needed to find was a bunch of therapy.
And honestly, so did Callie. She was so clearly experiencing caregiver burnout AT THE SAME TIME as experiencing grief over losing her best friend. Still have her find out she couldn’t have another baby and like… let her work through that. With her own, separate therapy.
I don’t remember even watching the stuff with the custody battle or them dating other people. But if they took a break, no custody battle? Date other people, whatever. And then when it came down to either of them wanting to move somewhere else… sparks fly?
Like, if they’d just been taking a break and hadn’t actually gotten divorced or anything, they could’ve sat down to discuss things regarding Sofia. Arizona would’ve been further ahead in her career and more capable of making changes. Callie would’ve been feeling more herself. They wouldn’t have battled uselessly over their child, so they would’ve been equally invested in her wellbeing and known what she wanted better.
A dinner could’ve become two. Or three. Wine at one of their places after Sofia had gone to bed. And maybe they could’ve realized that they wanted to try again now. That their family together was ultimately going to be better for all of them.
Then they would’ve moved to New York together and lived happily ever after and spawned yet another Grey’s Anatomy spin off for ABC to mine money with for 4000 seasons. Big Apple Anatomy: Life in the Med City.
#a spinoff in which they adopted or did end up using a surrogate to have more children or whatever if they wanted#and Callie did more studies like that cartilage one#and Arizona saved babies in utero#you know all the classics#grey's anatomy#callie torres#arizona robbins#calzona#greys anatomy#Janelle’s asks#Will forever wish they’d just let Arizona be a bad guy without trying to redeem#her for it like… shut up she never needed to be perfect#but Callie did need to be angry and find herself again

OK YEAH NO LITERALLY SAY THAT. I was gonna say LJ3 could do Odysseus and Penelope. Both of them pursued by other/many loves, some even godlike, and still come home to each other.
YESSSS literally!!
You're favored by the god of war. He grants you victory, grants you life (you were a gift for him, at least in the beginning.) You grow to hate the war (you grow to hate the god). You want to go home.
You're deeply in love, and you're alone. Your love ran from war as far as she could (it nearly drove herto madness) and could not escape it. War comes to your shores, as well. He comes seductively, he fills your halls, he does not actually want you but he wants what you represent.
You are pursued by gods. They do not want to let you go. They say they love you. If you stayed, you would be so irrevocably changed from yourself that you would not longer be worth loving. You flee. You are pursued by gods.
You are pursued by men. Man. You cannot escape him. He fills the house you cannot leave. You wait for your love. You will not replace her. He demands your time, your attention, your loyalty. You smile so sweetly he doesn't look at your hands as they unravel.
You are unraveling. You are the prisoner of a god. The god is lonely. The god is possessive. The god puts you somewhere you cannot leave. You escape. War follows you home.
War never left your home. War is tired of waiting. War demands your surrender.
You kill War in your home.
War dies in your home. War stands in her home. You're deeply in love. Still.
You see your lover. You love him/her anyway.
#esme writes meta#sorry if this makes no sense#or is off-base#but my god does it compel me#LJ3#clone enjoyers anonymous#also hi janelle thank you for the ask!!#i missed you!!

None of the other staff really understands the Jace n Zara vibe bc they do they make out on the occasion but Lucilla and turpsicore are both convinced it might be meant to be taken as a kind of performance art. But like. They’re really opaque abt it
#shut up Janelle#the agreement is understood! it doesn’t need to be explained to anyone!#I think Jace loves Zara in the way that gays love Gaga#Jace: if Porter asks me to define what we are one more time I’m gonna throw up#Jace to the rest of the staff: oh so just bc we’re friends doesn’t mean I can’t give Zara a little kiss goodbye?? sex negative#also Jace to Zara: god had to nerf us by giving us completely different sleep schedules just to keep us apart#jace stardiamond#zara sool
