"My bubble is so pink and so...pretty."

Educational Sciences is from the devil. Pointless theories about issues that are obvious and self-evident to begin with. Ugh.

Anyway, something fangirly now. The dichotomy and juxtaposition between the following pictures amuses me greatly. This is mostly because I suddenly realised one could easily explain the entire idea of Rizzoli & Isles to

Yes, exactly! I see subtext everywhere, I can femslash pretty much anything up if I want to - anything but Meredith and Christina. Their relationship is exactly what female friendships are all about. Comparing these two to Rizzoli and Isles...the difference is staggering, heh.

Those promo pics? God's gift to mankind. Unf. ♥ Especially the Rizzoli one makes my heart flutter in a weird way.

Arizona Robbins is the most adorable thing ever! Pink bubbles and fairy dust, omg. Only she can make that adorable girliness work.

I've tried and I really can't explain why Meredith and Christina aren't shippable (if that word isn't in the lexicon yet, it should be!). Tt has to be the brilliance of the writing, because all the ingredients for femslash are totally there.

The Meredith/Christina friendship. It has always been one my favourite things about the show, and I think it was this sort of a friendship that the writers of Rizzoli & Isles originally aimed for (we all know how that turned out...).

Exactly. BFFs, you're doing it wrong! If Meredith and Cristina ever spooned (and I think they have), I would see nothing sexual about it. Zero. If Jane and Maura ever spooned, I'd be watching for hand position, be wondering how close their hips were to each and generally thinking it was foreplay for future sex.

Also, Jessica Capshaw.... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!

[lysachan]

Precisely. Short of actually kissing, I doubt Meredith and Christina could do anything that made me even consider shipping. Remarkable!

With Jane and Maura, part of the "problem" is the utter gayness Jane seems to ooze - it's very hard not to see thing in a femslashy manner when a character is a walking cliché of a lesbian. :p

Very, very true about Jane. But also the fact that Sasha Alexander oozes sex appeal even when playing a kinda goofy know-it-all, and when she puts those gorgeous eyes on the "walking cliché of a lesbian", it all becomes so... sexual.

[lysachan]

Yes, that too! I'd love to know if Sasha intentionally turned up the flirtiness, because at times it seems too obvious to be accidental.

Wasn't it Dorothy Snarker who said lesbians will stop referring to themselves as "butch" or "femme" and simply use "Rizzoli" and "Isles"? /points at those pictures. :D

THIS.

Nope not just you. At first I couldn't put my finger on why the whole thing was so familiar, and then the Pepa/Silvia comparison hit me. Because yes, it's totally similar. And then it depressed me all over again. lol

[lysachan]

The Los Hombres de Paco parallel is definitely there, absolutely. There are even similar character traits, though I suppose they were more 'pronounced' with Pepa and Silvia. Still, obvious.
