yes you absolutely can <3
blurb below the cut
order for frank with a shot of grey's anatomy
The elevator already felt small with Frank’s large frame taking up most of it, but with your silent simmering frustration filling the rest of the confined space like a dense fog, the heavy tension made it feel even more cramped. Subtly turning his head to look at you, Frank was clueless about why you seemed so pissed off. Everything had gone according to plan without a hitch. No bullets were fired, no blood was shed; the only violent thing that had happened all night was you shoving the retrieved key card into Frank’s chest when he met you in the alley behind the hotel.
Frank couldn’t tear his eyes away from you, not just because he was trying to figure out why you were so angry with him, but also because of how good you looked. The elegant gown looked like it was made to be worn by you, and the color suited you perfectly. Your hair was in a different style than normal, and he realized he’d never seen you so dolled up before. It suddenly dawned on him that he hadn’t mentioned your appearance once all night. Was that why you were upset? You thought he didn’t notice?
“You uh, you look beautiful.”
Frank thought it was the right thing to say, but the way you snapped your head in his direction and glared at him with fire in your eyes, he quickly knew he had been very wrong, and he was now even more perplexed.
“Oh screw beautiful, I’m brilliant! If you wanna appease me, compliment my brain.”
It was your goddamn plan that worked flawlessly. You’d managed to talk Frank out of jumping straight to beating the shit out of his target to get the information he needed, and instead presented him with a seamless plan to get the information yourselves. All you needed was the man’s personal key card to gain access to his office where he kept his restricted files, and you’d found out he was attending a charity event that weekend, which created the perfect opportunity to swipe it.
The plan was simple. You attend the event as a guest, innocently collide with the target, charm him long enough to pick his pocket, and make a stealth exit. Frank’s role was to keep an eye on you with a sniper rifle from above, ready to strike if necessary. Initially, he’d been stubborn and given you push back. He didn’t think it would work, and he didn’t like you putting yourself at risk. It was like pulling teeth trying to get him to agree to do things your way, and he kept reminding you up until the moment you went inside that he didn’t like it.
But it fucking worked.
It was perfect. You got in, got exactly what you needed, and got out in record time. The guy probably wouldn’t even realize his key card was missing until Monday morning. But did Frank say anything about how smoothly things went? No. Did he admit that he had been wrong to doubt you? No. Did he even acknowledge that your way worked? No.
Watching you cross your arms over your chest while you let out a huff of irritation, it seemed to finally click for him why you were so pissed, and Frank let out an amused chuckle which earned him another glare from you. Reaching out with his hand, Frank pushed the emergency button to stop the elevator, and when he caught the look of confusion interwoven in your expression of annoyance, the edge of his mouth quirked up in a faint smirk.
“Alright, fine. You were right. Your way worked better. It was a damn good plan, and I shoulda listened from the start. That better?”
Still glaring daggers in his direction, you stared at him silently for a moment before turning away to face the closed elevator doors.
“I’d like that in writing.”
“Think I got a napkin somewhere in the truck. That work for ya?”
“Don’t forget to sign and date it.”
Frank just shook his head at your snappy reply, pressing the emergency button again to get the elevator to continue its descent, letting out a light chuckle.
“Yes ma’am.”

Alright, I have updated my rules with one very very important section that i'll copy and paste below this. This is probably going to ruffle some feathers and might even cause some hate towards me but i want you to know that keeping this blog a safe space for myself is important. I have no interest in being here if the things I see on my dash are upsetting and angering for me. If these things bother you, you are free to hard block me right away.
_________________________________________________________
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE ; i am an avid supporter of people that write as female muses . i will not tolerate any kind of down playing or over sexualisation of female muses to the point where their personalities and actual interesting points are not recognised . female muses are not here to be your ship fodder and they are not here for you to use only for fantasies .
this brings me swiftly onto female characters that identify as lesbian or are canonically heavily implied as lesbian . i will absolutely not tolerate anyone taking a canon lesbian character and changing their sexuality so that they can be paired with men . it is something that will result in me hard blocking you without any warning . i'm going to give you some examples of characters that , if i see them being written as anything but lesbian , will result in me hard blocking you ; ACHERON , ROBIN , JINGLIU , YUKONG from Honkai : Star Rail & RAIDEN EI , ARLECCHINO , NAVIA , CLORINDE , BEIDOU from Genshin Impact .
note about clorinde ; while originally i thought clorinde might have been bisexual due to the connections between her and the famous French swordswoman she was based off , there is still absolutely 0 in game references to any kind of relationship with men . the only canon romance she has is with navia as far as we can see from the game . so therefore , i personally think that Genshin Impact's depiction of clorinde is lesbian . so until we know more about her , this is where i will stand for now .
Every single one of these characters are HEAVILY implied to be lesbian . while you might argue that 'nothing is really canon' i implore you to be aware that because these games are made in China , any kind of LGBTQIA+ representation in media is BANNED and therefore Hoyoverse has to be very careful with the way in which they give us diverse representation .
... and to be VERY clear , i am not doing this because i hate/dislike any other sexualities . myself i am a demisexual lesbian and i have seen FAR TOO MUCH LESBIAN ERASURE in the hoyo communities to the point where it just makes me sick . you can do absolutely anything you like with other characters , in fact i welcome seeing more diverse LGBT+ representation on my dash . i do not have any issue at all with that , i just really believe that the characters who are heavily implied lesbians should stay that way .

I don't actually think the show does well enough in terms of handling Claudia's backstory and internalized feelings re: a lot of what happens in the latter half of the season, but apparently that's an unpopular opinion of sorts in this fandom.
To put it simply, Claudia reminiscing about her past life prior to being a vampire in all but 6 lines is not a proper exploration of said life. In comparison to her parents getting a more expanded view of theirs (Louis thankfully had at least one episode prior to being turned while Lestat's backstory is even going to be repeatedly hinted at in season 2), she mentions a dead mother all but once (twice if you count an easy lie she tells in 1.06), an aunt beating her, having to deal with perverts at the rooming house she stayed in, and not having any more children to play with during the night because she's now a vampire. Again, all this is explored in less than 10 lines total. This isn't really us getting enough info on her so much as barely getting the most basic information that we can get on her past, and again, it's also not a proper exploration of a child suddenly going from an abusive poor household to a rich people's home, with two strangers that suddenly become her parents, and her becoming completely estranged to the life she once knew. Claudia remembers her past life in comparison to her book counterpart because she's 14, yet somehow I'm supposed to accept that she is completely fine with all of these changes until she suddenly isn't?
Subtlety is also not this show's Forte nor is it even the thing it's remembered by: we have Louis referencing books that are clearly meant for us to look up, we have a 10 minute domestic violence scene where the white vampire deliberately tries to kill his Black partner. This just makes the lack of info on Claudia obviously glaring because she is also raped, but her rape is never even talked about BY her. It's hinted at by Louis, it's nagged for more information on by Daniel, it's mocked by Lestat. The only time we even get Claudia referring to Bruce is in a scene that is clearly meant to serve as a not-so-subtle hint that Louis is being raped by his husband? So again, a hint of a moment that Claudia gives is again turned into a message about what Louis is going through. When a show has more men talk about this traumatic incident that happened to this girl than the girl herself, then yeah, it IS glaring and unless Rolin and Co. make some effort to rectify a general lack of attention they give her, or turn it into some commentary about how a Black girl's story is shaped and disfigured by all the men in her life that abused her, then it's still pretty glaring and lacking.
