In hindsight, I think the writers just didn't push this relationship because they didn't wanna appear to force too much of a "gay agenda". Lesbian mothers. Jude was gay. Callie dating a trans man. BUT bringing Ximena over into Good Trouble does seem like a grand idea!
Because with every other one of her partners, they were introduced almost immediately as potential love interests. Ximena on the other hand was a good friend first, and they went through much more intense experiences together, which amped up the tension, especially because the storyline was well developed and well presented over a few episodes
no cos like i NEED to know what callie was going to say when ximena said she’d wait forever for her, like the way she looked at her and softened 🥺 why did they have to interrupt them right then??? and the fact she kissed her back and never said the whole “don’t worry about it but i’m not yano” thing like they really set us up for a callie and ximena end game and then she went back to chasing a boy who had moved on????? and then a whole republican ??????? after all the looks and flirtatious gentle touches do they really want me to believe callie wouldn’t have risked it for ximena in that moment?
I feel like they were considering it, but weren't quite sure if they had the time to develop it, and there might have been an issue with actress availability, as Lisseth Chavez might not have wanted to go on to Good Trouble, which i am of two minds of. It would have been nice to see a good relationship develop between these two, with how close they became and how much tension they had. On the other hand, that might have made the actresss unavailable for legends of tomorrow, and while that show can be hit and miss, her character is definitely a hit
GUYYYYYYYYYYS ! After seeing Connor (Jude first boyfriend) in an episode of Good Trouble (S03E04), it could be possible to see Ximena in the show as well. It's not impossible ! :3 Good video btw, the end had me dying with the "One more time" slowed and the "In conclusion : Bi Flag" :')
Oh my god I do and not gonna lie that made me ship them more because they had a enemies to friends kinda story and they could have ended up being lovers instead of her dating Jesus!
My favorite love interest for Callie. Catching up on good trouble and seeing her with Jamie is just ugh, I miss ximena. I don't hate Jamie, it's just that I find him about as compelling as wet cardboard
Aight, I'm here again after seeing the Good Trouble season's 3 finale. We should do a petition guys for Ximena to be on Good Trouble. Shoudn't we ? They did us dirty with the kiss and nothing happening after it. x)
Does anyone else feel like they were planning to get them together, but the show was cancelled during the mid season break and so they had to rework the storylines and leave this one on kind of a loose end
I'll be honest, as cute as they look together, part of me is glad Callie stayed straight because I never liked the Armoured Closet Gay cliche where the tough homophobe suddenly realizes they're gay or has been in the closet the whole time, especially when they're a bully or like Callie, an ex-con who stopped being a homophobe a little while after a lesbian couple took her in. But they should've at least addressed Ximena kissing her or that they kept in touch all this time. BTW, I had no idea until now that Spooner from Legends of Tomorrow was Ximena, looking up her filmography.
No cap I think Callie was and is PAN. Also there is internalize homophobia. I don’t think she was a bully or homophobic she just didn’t know n there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you grow.
