Friday I'm in Love

Oh yes, it's that time of the week again and I'm still stuck on shipping.

However, sometimes - more often than not these days... or years, really - I find myself quoting 'Brokeback Mountain' and thinking "I wish I knew how to quit you" when it comes to my dear Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins shipping heart.

But then something will come along that gets my Calzona dreams going again.

This time around it's an awesome fan-made video set to a beautiful Adele song.


This makes me a Calzona believer all over again.

Friday I'm in Love

Welcome to this week's edition of Friday I'm in Love... with these ships!

But in order to keep myself in line, I've decided to focus on the three C's that are Calzona, Clexa and Cophine.

Calzona

Ah yes, it used to be amazing heartbreaks and sweet moment and coming together again for Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins, but these past years it's been pretty much down hill.

Ah yes, the good ol' days

Grey's Anatomy creator, Shonda Rhimes, used to say the were MFEO [Made For Each Other], but she pretty much seems to have forgotten all about that.

And really, where is Sofia? Their daughter, who mysteriously never needs either of her moms since they're both working, dating and/or over-coming yet another tragedy at the same time.

But when they were good, they were good.

Callie Torres can undress with her eyes perfectly

 
Clexa

Fairly new ship from The 100 (not the one-hundred. just 'the hundred', which still really irks me!), where Clarke Griffin and Commander Lexa have become increasingly close.
 

Yup, that's pretty close

And so it became canon

But this is a ship that the creator, Jason Rothenberg, ships at least as much as the fans, and so far he's using the show's third season to make Clexa fanfiction come true.

How they're keeping it going

Cophine

There's no doubt that the immediate online fanbase was a huge part of the Orphan Black success. And while the success on sites like Tumblr was absolutely due to Tatiana Maslany's amazing ability to portray 80% of the characters in the cast, it quickly became obvious that especially one of the characters she played (science geek, Cosima Niehaus) was getting a lot of attention because of her relationship with another character, (follow science geek puppy, Delphine Cormier) and together they became Cophine.

Now, as we prepare for the fourth season of Orphan Black there's been an almost alarming lack of publicity for the show - especially compared to last year, when Twitter and Tumblr were fed clips and images to build up a frenzy.

The last kiss of season 3

Personally, I'm convinced it's simply because they don't want to reveal too much of how Delphine will be part of the story. Season three ended on a cliffhanger, but I have hope for the puppy turned wolf.

I better see you two lovebirds soon!

So, who are you shipping? And what's your favorite ship?

Friday I'm in love

Or FIIL cause everything needs to have an acronym these days

After two full years without any posts - mostly due to my love for Tumblr - I've had to acknowledge my own shortcomings. But in the face of overwhelming evidence that I can't follow-through, I've decided that I need to pull myself together and set some goals.

This is the result: Every Friday I'll present you with something that makes my little GayGirl heart soar over the rainbow with joy.

Inspired by Dorothy Snarker's Weekend Crush (after all, they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery) and also because it's a good way to end any week; With love!

Anyway, to start off this new endeavor, I've decided on something that I remember with fondness... actually, I think it may have made me gay. I'm kidding (obviously!), I know I was born this way - but maybe I realized early on that I was gay because of this.

I am talking about women in suspenders!

So without any further ado, here's GayGirl's very first edition of Friday I'm In Love

My current favorite image is probably this one of Hayley Atwell

Agent Carter could rock this look on her down time

And of course, I should include Kristen Stewart, since she always seems to come up whenever I search for anything gay adjecent

Rock n' Roll suspenders

And also this image, we might call "Flirting with myself"

Maybe KStew has a thing for suspenders as well

 My first memory of finding a woman in suspenders extraordinarily intriguing belongs to Courtney Cox from an episode of Family Ties
 

The best image I could find, I'm afraid

Of course, the fact that my only other memory of this girl was from the Bruce Springsteen video Dancing in the Dark where she looks like the cutest baby dyke, so I can't really be blamed

Look at that cute little androgynous cutie

And finally, someone we'd love to call one of us - and she certainly always stands with us in any fight - the wonderful Sarah Shahi

Okay, that could be a gun-holster, but I'm not complaining
