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.

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.

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

[starry-bite]

dear @vegawriters tagged me to share my top 10 albums of all time and it was hard!! these answers have to be for up to now since it's otherwise an impossible choice!

1. the blessed unrest - sara bareilles

desert island album. next.

2. hadestown - the original broadway cast of hadestown

anyone surprised? brilliant, poetic, magic music. love letter to altos, activists, and dreamers.

3. dance fever - florence + the machine

love florence always, this album is just particularly beloved.

4. abba gold - abba

raised me. grew up singing along at the top of my lungs with my family.

5. the gabe dixon band - gabe dixon (and his band)

soundtrack of late night backseat rides home. music i love and can hear my mom harmonizing to.

6. ghost quartet (live at the mckittrick)- dave malloy, brent arnold, brittain ashford, gelsey bell

weird fuckin musical theatre (?) dream project of mine, a circular, multi-plot, time-strange delight. live album preferred since it gets you the little scenes between songs!

7. dirty computer - janelle monae

afro-futurist filmic feast. nourishing words, beautiful shots, unapologetic queer femmes of color that were especially important to me as a middle teen.

8. montero - lil nas x

banger after banger, underscoring of late teens/early twenties. so clearly rooted in country, despite what the gatekeepers of the genre would like us to believe.

9. kamikaze love - kate klim

simple sweet songwriting i remember hearing in a lovely little listening room when it was released. "somewhere" is particularly special to me.

10. just crazy enough - shel

dear friends who make wonderful music (and music videos, check them out)! just the flavor of odd, multi-media, polymathematic art i needed as a youngin.

not a tagger, but if you want to share, i want to hear about it!!

[tosahobi-if]

I honestly don't have any idea how I can expound this in a way that makes sense.

But out of all blogs that I follow I imagine Parliment Funkadelic would descend to uplift your blog first to uplift the funkadelic vibes.

i'm a little confused adjfdjf but i do like parliament funkadelic! i did a project on contemporary afrofuturism in western music before so i've listened to their work (￣ω￣)

Happy pride month! Could you recommend any queer songs? I only know Born This Way.

Okay here’s the thing idk if I can name queer songs because I usually just listen to queer artists. I also listen to a lot of pop, alt-pop, electronic and alt-rnb music and I feel like that’s just not common or well-liked music?

Here are some queer songs I can name off the top of my head:

“Cherry” by Rina Sawayama

“Got to be Real” by Cheryl Lynn

“I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross

“Vogue” by Madonna

“Take Me to Church” by Hozier

Here are the queer artists I really like (and listen to often) though:

Syd

Amaarae

Kelela

Kaytranada

WILLOW

Kehlani

Janelle Monaé

Queer artists I listen to, but not as much:

Frank Ocean

Rina Sawayama

Doechii

Steve Lacy

Kamaiyah

Yaeji

Kari Faux

Kara Jackson

How do you feel about Amelia and Monica? I see the potential (especially after this week) but I’m not sure the writers can pull it off

I have been rooting for them since that first tense meeting in their patient’s room, tbh. They have a fun back-and-forth and Amelia is so good at shooting her shot at all times.

Monica reminds me a bit of Erica? I’m not entirely sure why, though.

But yeah, I’ve been yelling at them to just make out already for a couple weeks. I have zero expectations for how or where it’s gonna go beyond the ✨ chemistry ✨ so the writer’s can’t fuck it up for me (yet).

We’ll see how they do?

since I love the idea of the Jaceclones being stand-ins and intermediary’s for Jace when he and Porter are on a break, and like, lowkey it was implied that sometimes happens in IYWD a part of me thinks the j2 fic should be set in that same timeline. But also I can’t reconcile the fact that like. Porter is so devastatingly obviously in love with at least some fuckin version of Jace in IYWD yet would be able to fuck a j2 clone. Makes IYWD a lot less impactful. But also Porter being devastatingly in love with Jaceprime is kinda the point. Like. At the same time, the clone deserves it. The clone is like ok. So Porter can fuck post-Jace with the intent of recapturing what he had with pre-Jace, that’s beautiful and real and true. But if I wanna climb that tree just so Porter can try and recapture w/ me what he has with jaceprime all of a sudden we have a fuckin problem
