Big difference.
I love how Lincoln is making such a "Link" face! 😉
i wish i could put things more eloquently but right now i’m too sad and i just need to air my thoughts out.
april kepner embodies a messy, often antagonistic without wanting to be, funny and lovable character. she isn’t effortlessly sarcastic like cristina yang, or simply cool like meredith grey, no, she’s a mix of characteristics that makes her feel real, like a friend - almost, like someone i’ve watched grow on screen and feel deeply connected to. in april, i found myself, i recognized myself.
april once said she “sees eight sides of everything”, and that’s how i’ve always felt, in an underlying plateau between knowing who you are, who you want to be and the endless possibilities that could sway you both ways.
i find comfort in knowing that whatever direction they decide to sway april’s end of arc in, she lived her life, she had the child she always wanted, she laughed and cried and made friends and had her big, epic love. her once in a lifetime soulmate.
i thank you, sarah drew, for the beautiful job you did at creating my most beloved character. your performances were ethereal, raw, and often left me in tears.
i laughed with april, i cried with her, i fell in love with her love story, and i will continue to love and cherish her well beyond the show that treated both actress and character wrongly.
thank you, sarah. thank you, april.
You want to make my dreams come true? This is my dream.
Shoutout to all my trans/NB Mythical Beast loves. You’re amazing. You’re beautiful. And you’re loved.
Grey’s just completely gutted all of the Japril fans. The direction they chose to take their storyline in and they way they did it is so heartbreaking and disrespectful to the fans and all the love and emotional investment and attachment we have built for their relationship. It’s disrespectful to their journey, to the albeit bumpy but uniquely beautiful story they shared. This is disrespectful to all the amazing things about Japril: their friendship, their chemistry, their deep love for one another. Also, this is a slap in the face to what Jesse and Sarah have created, their commitment and dedication to the characters and the fans, and their own long term investment in building this relationship. Even introducing the idea of this storyline, it feels like they've ruined, or at least tainted, the beauty of Japril.
