Japril Will Be Forever Endgame.

I have looked at you in a million different ways

                                    and I have loved you in each and everyone of them. (insp.)

CALL FOR A GREY’S ANATOMY BOYCOTT #ForKepzona

This is so fucking wrong! Not only has grey’s anatomy written off April Kepner in order to make a ship NO ONE FUCKING WANTS happen, THEY HAVE ALSO FIRED JESSICA CAPSHAW WHO PLAYS ARIZONA ROBBINS, AKA ONE OF THE FIRST TV LESBIANS

THIS IS UNFAIR TO THE ACTORS WHO HAVE HAD ONLY 2 DAYS TO PROCESS THIS AND THE CHARACTERS, NOT TO MENTION THE FANS

WE ARE NOT STANDING FOR THIS BULLSHIT ANYMORE

WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THESE TWO AMAZING WOMEN BUILD A FRIENDSHIP TOGETHER FOR YEARS AND THE FACT THAT SOMEONE CAN JUST FIRE THEM BECAUSE OF A CREATOR’S PET IS INSULTING

THIS SHOW IS ALREADY TERRIBLE, BUT WITHOUT THEM IT WILL BE UNBEARABLE

KEPZONA IS THE ONLY GOOD PART OF THIS AWFUL SHOW

FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, SHONDA. NEXT WEEK, LET’S NOT WATCH THIS SHIT

PLEASE DO THIS FOR THE JAPRIL FANDOM. PLEASE BE VOCAL ON TWITTER. THEY’LL HAVE TO LISTEN TO US

THEY THINK THEY CAN WALK ALL OVER US AND WE’LL JUST KEEP WATCHING. WELL, THAT’S OVER

I don’t know how to do it, I don’t know how to shut it off. Shut what off? How I feel about her… I don’t even know if I want to.

I love Link and his close ups were gorgeous but let's not forget about this beauty! I mean, look at him!

I haven’t watched Grey’s for a few years now and I honestly don’t know why it’s still on air. Shonda and Co. have repeatedly ruined our favourite characters and relationships. There have been repeated tropes and storylines, relationships we don’t want, and useless characters.

Grey’s should’ve ended long ago. That way we would’ve have to suffer these fucking stupid ass decisions and firings.

If there’s anything to take away from the recent news of Sarah and Jessica’s firings is that y’all shouldn’t watch anymore. ABC and Shondaland are no longer respecting their audience so y’all shouldn’t respect them either.

Thanks for everything, Kepner

You didn’t have it all together when you first came on the scene. You weren’t really sure what your exact purpose was, but you knew you had one. It was so easy to see you had a heart of gold and while you were a bit idealistic for my usual tastes - you were genuine. I liked that. 

I watched you struggle, make mistakes, and fail. I saw you get knocked down more times than I can count, but I also saw how many times you got back up. People didn’t make it easy for you. It was a little too easy to pick on you and pick on you they did. You were the butt of many jokes, but you took it right in stride and kept your eye on what you wanted. You knew who April Kepner was and that is all that mattered. 

I watched you fall in love with your best friend. I watched you change a young man who could have taken a very different path without your influence. It was so frustrating that you couldn’t see yourself the way he saw you. It was even more frustrating to see you make the wrong choice when the right one was in front of you. You were finally coming into your own professionally and I wanted to scream that you couldn’t seem to get it together personally. 

I watched someone who had always been so calculated and cautious throw it all to the wind and take a risk. I watched her finally follow her heart. You married your best friend and were the happiest you’d ever been. The kind of happiness that is palpable. Yeah, it was crazy but that’s what made it all the more wonderful. 

I watched you struggle through the early days of marriage. Learning to live together, learning to share finances, learning to navigate the differences in beliefs, and the Mother-in-law. Oh, the Mother-in-law. I sat in my living room with my jaw on the floor the night you very abruptly announced you were pregnant. I was so happy watching you prepare for the addition to your family. This person who had struggled so much in the beginning had finally come into her own. Trauma surgeon, wife, and very soon….Mom. 

I cried as you were given the worst news possible. I sat there shocked as you made the hardest, most selfless decision a person could possibly make. I sobbed as you struggled with the decision and gave birth to your baby boy. My heart was broken as you let him go. 

I watched you struggle in the aftermath of losing him. I watched you push everyone and everything away. For someone who had been knocked down time after time and gotten back up - this was bigger than all of that. You couldn’t find solid ground and you did what you had to do to survive.

I watched as you discovered that sometimes the hurt is simply too great, but that second chances were possible. I was equal parts horrified and elated to watch your baby girl come into the world. I was so certain she would be the road back. Things didn’t go quite as I’d hoped or even liked, but you made it. At the end of this wild ride, you made it. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, you made it. 

In a world full of Merediths, I thank you for teaching us it was ok to be an April. It was ok to march to the beat of our own drum. It was ok to fall down sometimes just as long as we got back up. It was ok to make mistakes. It was ok for life to be a mess. It was ok to stand for what we believe in even if it’s not the popular thing. It was ok to not be ok. It was ok to be ourselves.

So, at the end of her 9 year journey, I simply want to say thanks for everything. I laughed, I cried, I grieved, and I celebrated while watching the crazy, wonderful, messy, beautiful life that was April Kepner. 

Wow, that truly unexpectedly hurt a lot.
