Grey’s Anatomy rant…

Ah yes, the “Shonda Rhimes had a chance to represent my disability well on 1 of the biggest TV shows in America & instead killed him off & used us as an excuse to tank 1 of her most popular couples” arc. We love to see it. 😌 /s

Samuel could’ve had osteogenesis imperfecta Type III — like I do. Yes, it is a childhood full of operations. Yes, he would’ve been a “hospital kid” with a lot to overcome.

But folks, it is a Hospital Show. Some of the Main Characters are orthopedic and pediatric surgeons. Imagine the story arcs: Arizona could’ve dug into her own disability experience through his, Callie could’ve connected with her about it, Alex would’ve had so many opportunities to shine. He could’ve grown up alongside the other legacy Grey’s kids — Zola, Tucker, Sofia, Bailey, Ellis. He and Zola could’ve connected, she with her Spina Bifida and he with Brittle Bone. Maybe he could’ve become a doctor. Maybe they would’ve fallen in love someday.

His life would’ve been hard, but April was right: His life mattered. Deeply. And we deserved to be represented beyond “feel sad for these poor parents” and “look at silly religious April, giving her disabled child a chance.”

I'm pretty sure the Samuel Avery Children Centre is currently thriving in Boston.

speaking of japril's angel baby, they definitely would have honoured him in some way & i wish we saw that on the show. i can see jackson naming something after him like he previously did with the changing of the hospital name after mark & lexie's deaths and this would have helped april a lot with her grief 🥺 also with april, being out in the field helped her too and helping other people's kids e.g. kamal did something for her 🤔 this could have led back into the harper avery foundation somehow with some sort of program for bereaved parents, i think

Not sure why it isn’t showing up but this is called Impossible Pain by Rizzlestiva on www.fanfiction.net. Please note Trigger warning for infant loss.

oh look. I branched out. Sorta. This is the friendship we were robbed of and I will unlive on this hill. April and Amelia talk after Samuel.

Would you like to see a Japril spin off because honestly they were my favourite couple.

Their storylines were actually amazing and I loved their journey together except when April married Matthew after leaving him at the altar for Jackson especially since it was obvious Jackson and April were still in love with each other (this has to be one of the weirdest things that's happened on Grey's and there is many to choose from). Their chemistry is also out of this world.

Also just to note that both Jackson and April had the best character growth to me.

They also had some of the most underrated scenes -Samuel passing away in their arms; Ben performing a C section on April at home during a storm without any pain or nerve block meds etc. Their acting was during these scenes just blew me away especially Sarah Drew.

Hands down not even a question: I would love to see a Japril spinoff in Boston.

I totally agree-I think that Japril had a very beautiful love story despite all their bumps in the road. They were faced with so many challenges, and in the end it just broke them apart instead of brought them closer together (except having Harriet. that was the best thing ever for them).

My favourite moments of theirs were the rain scene in 9x24 when April screamed for Jackson when she thought he was dead. And then when she punched his chest after he got patched up. God, that scene BROKE me. Because she was so overwhelmed and sure physical hits are never the answer but I'll ignore it for them because you could see the panic in April's eyes. So damn good. (also the moments you mentioned were heartbreaking too. I still can't bring myself to watch Samuel die again, I always skip over that episode)

I have such hopes for Japril as a co-parenting couple because they were the OG ones. They didn't fight like Calzona did (do not even get me started on the New York shit), instead they worked things out like Amelink. It's what you do for your child that you share together. Japril will always have a special place in my heart and I love talking about them.

Send me Japril asks any day of the week, my friend. I love talking about them together, or separately!

Does anyone know a FanFiction of the missing scenes between 11x08 + 11x09 where Stephanie tells Jackson about Samuel’s osteogenesis imperfecta and where April finds out?

If not could someone write one?

22. Dr. Jackson Avery & Dr. April Kepner (Grey’s Anatomy)

"We don’t have a clear narrative reason why Jackson and April aren’t remarried right now on Grey’s Anatomy and expecting their third child. But there are so many other reasons why they’ve earned a spot on this list.

Japril is the epitome of the “best friends turned lovers” trope gone right. Perhaps that’s because the writers didn’t even realize what they had until two years into the characters’ tenures at Seattle Grace-Mercy West. Give them a few episodes at the medical boards in San Francisco, some stress-relieving sex, and some of the best natural chemistry on TV in the decade finally comes to light.

Sarah Drew and Jesse Williams make each other better actors. All you have to do to recognize the truth behind this statement is to watch a scene where their characters’ emotions are simply motivated by each other. Jackson standing up at April’s wedding to protest is one of the most iconic moments in “modern” Grey’s Anatomy history.

While their subsequent marriage is soaked in tragedy, there is a world in which it survives thanks to genuine friendship, love, and passion for each other. Through the death of their son Samuel, the show was able to tell a story that still resonates with parents who have lost children today. Plus, there is nothing more beautiful to watch on screen than a husband praying to a God that he doesn’t believe in for the miracle his wife needs.

Their daughter Harriet is the joy that came after the pain of their divorce. At one point on the show, she almost brought them back into each other’s arms where they belong. It’s bittersweet to think about. But fans will always have Montana."

You can erase two characters but you can't erase history.

moment of silence for my friend who is at the point of season 11 where April finds out she's pregnant and is now going off about how she looked up that they named the baby Harriet

[babyjapril]

[japriet]

I could see April getting a tattoo of Samuel’s footprint on her foot in memory of him. I don’t think she would ever get a tattoo for anything else but I think she would do that. Or maybe just his initials in a hidden spot.

This project started here during the summer hiatus for 30dayswithjapril but for some reasons I never finished it. Today is my birthday so I thought it would be a good time to finally just post it.

[noonemonitorsmyscreentime]

Make it make sense,

I’m gonna give my opinion on some major deaths on Grey’s Anatomy because I am pissed about DeLuca.

10-makes sense;

5- wether they were alive or dead the story wouldn't have been affected;

1-thanks for the shock value buddy, you a bad storyteller;

Thatcher Grey 7/10

By the time when he died, Meredith was done with needing him. It was a death that finished her storyline with her father, which had been finished for a long while. It was a death that showed more Meredith's development than anything else.

Ellis Grey 6/10

One lives, one dies. It’s not a bad end, but it was a wasted death. There was still much to be explored in their relationship.

Adele Webber 9/10

For Richard to move on, it made sense; they had explored a lot of their past relationship by that point and she had moved on from him. Divorcing a sick woman would have just been cruel on Richard’s part and would’ve made him look like a dick.

Doc the Dog- -1/10

Undeserved, he was the goodest of boys

Henry Burton 8/10

Teddy’s husband was a sweetheart and they could have done a lot more with him, but that would have meant him working in the hospital and since he hadn’t any degree related to a medical field it made sense. I wish it didn’t, because I really loved him. His death also gave a new dynamic to Teddy’s relationship with both Owen and Cristina

Reed Adamson & Dr. Charles Percy 7/10

It was a mass shooting, people die. Here the writers really had a free for all on who they wanted to axe. Reed’s death was better than Percy’s.

Denny Duquette 9/10

It had repercussions on the story. I wished he would've lived and he was always fun on the screen, but yes, it makes sense.

Dylan Young 0/10

The bomb was out. Severd no purpose, other than to have George's weird sex dream realised in a fucked up way. Really the guy deserved to live

George O’Malley 4/10

He really could have just left. Sure, it was emotional and it was a big loss, but really he could've just left.

Dr. Craig Thomas 3/10

He was old, okay. Did he really need to die? No. He was a wonderful man that would've helped Cristina realise that returning to Sloan-Grey was the right move.

Derek Shepard 10/10

Derek was toxic, he sure as hell was and I loved the man either way, but without a complete character assasination him leaving the show would have made no sense.

Mark Sloan 3/10 & Lexie Grey 2/10

I'm grouping them because their deaths happened in close proximity, but something could have been invented for them to move in. Not even Sophia would've been an issue.

Samuel Norbert Avery 2/10

I'm giving it this grade because it led to that whole Maggie/Jackson nonsense. It was badly done on the long run.

Heather Brooks 1/10

-she was a good kid and the way she died was mean and just for shock value.

Paul Stadler-Jo’s ex husband 5/10

I get no one wanted to write an episode where Jo goes to court but and drag out the story some more but I would've liked it to be done.

Andrew DeLuca -10/10

Like George, he could've just left. He was one of my favorite characters so I'm extra salty about it and I went into it in another post.

Alex Karev's entire story ark -3/10

Here is a character whose death would have made more sense. What were they smoking in the writer's room when they came up with this, because I'm pretty sure it was expired.
