Okay so basically @royalarmyofoz asked for this and I need to let this leave my body so I can get over the fact that we never saw Lisa Ann Walter kiss a woman in The Ladies. Here’s how I think Blanche and Emma even hooked up in the first place. 

First of all, Blanche is a real estate agent and that’s how she met Pearl in the first place. She sold Pearl and her husband the condo when they moved into the community years ago.

Though Emma knows Blanche from her Summer visits as a kid, this is the first time she’s been there as a single, lonely, grieving, and aimless adult, so when she sees Blanche walk into the bar, she says fuck it and decides to shoot her shot because the worst thing that could happen is Blanche turns her down, and Emma’s been plenty humiliated the last few months (recently dumped, recently fired), so her grandmother’s friend laughing in her face wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen to her lately

Blanche is surprised when Emma walks up to her at the bar, she’s even more surprised when Emma flirts with her, and Blanche is bored enough that she’ll entertain the thought for a second. There’s no way anything’s going to happen anyway. She’s Pearl’s grandkid for god’s sake, she’s not an idiot. 

Except Emma talks her into a fifteen minute conversation that turns into 30 minutes, then an hour, and Emma’s funny, Blanche decides, and pretty--but still.

Emma doesn’t think she’s got a chance in hell when she first offers to buy Blanche a drink, and then, after the second round, she thinks oh, Blanche is obviously hot, but she’s also really easy to talk to, and Emma really loves making her laugh.

They talk about the Summer Emma got a sunburn so bad she spent the better part of a week covered in aloe, and well, timing has never been Emma’s strong suit.

Surely she could have picked a better time to suggest they go “somewhere quiet” than in the middle of a story of when she was 14 and Blanche was divorcing her second husband

“Absolutely not,” is Blanche’s reply, but Emma can tell she’s flustered, and she counters with, “What? Why not?” - “Honey, we don’t have enough time before last call to count the reasons.” - “So let’s go to your house and you can list them all for me there.” 

(gif cred: @lizmitches​ )

It shouldn’t work. That should not be a line that works.

“I have to pee,” Blanche says and Emma gives her all of two seconds before she follows. 

Emma kisses Blanche in the unisex bathroom, and when she’s got Blanche’s lipstick smeared on her own lips, and Blanche is flushed and telling her what a bad idea this is, Emma cannot believe her fucking luck

She can’t believe her luck even as she pulls Blanche by the hand through the crowded bar, and she definitely cannot believe her luck when she’s got Blanche pressed against the front door to her house with her hand up her shirt.

Blanche is...a little surprised at how good the actual sex is, and Emma laughs when she tells her this.

But Blanche is even more surprised when Emma stays and they fall asleep talking. 

Something tells her this will get complicated in the morning, but in the moment she’s drifting off to sleep with Emma’s arm draped over her hip, she can’t think of a reason to care.

if we were to look at it through a racial lens, I do find it very interesting that Jupe’s wife is white. that the audience at Star Lasso are majorly white. that he’s basically robbing the Haywoods, a black family, of their horses to feed them to an alien creature for white people’s entertainment. that he was the token asian adoptee in sitcom as a child. the model minority. fitting himself back into a system that used and failed him as a child, so he can find some semblance of respect and power as an adult man, only to still be swallowed up whole.
