It's legit insane that there are 19 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, yet here I am watching every week and eagerly anticipating the next round of mess as soon as I can get it!
I know they aren't going to kill Teddy but I'm excited to be emotionally beat up if they surprise me and give her long term pain. I want her and Owen to be happy. I'm pretty and I want Richard to drink so I can get more drama. I'm so happy for Jo and Link - at last!!! Those 2 + Luna and Scout are extremely adorable and I live for it
I'm honestly loving the new interns and I love how they are MAGYK as a homage to the OG interns - MAGIC. That being said, I'm really not on the Simone and Lucas train haha, maybe I'll change my mind soon. Kwan and Jules have the potential to be a gave for me - I won't lie though, I just adore Blue haha
I miss Maggie so much already and her exiting scene with her in the elevator standing between her two moms Ellis and Diane is one of my all times favourite scenes in the entire show and I got so emotional. I'm glad that she and Winston seem to be in a good place not but I was furious at them fighting for most of the season and I thought Winston was being a big bitch baby.
Meredith has taken a step back and I surprisingly don't really care? I hate that Nick took her back after how awful she was to him lol. And Kai & Amelia broke up which is no surprise and should have happened last season.
Addison showing up this season was cute. And I fill on cried when Bailey won the Harper Avery/Catherine Fox award - it was amazing and gave me all the happy feelings I needed
Anywayssss if you wanna hear our thoughts and watch out video about everything that happened in season 19, please watch our video and let us know what you think!
I’ve had some BenJulie stuff sitting around in the drafts that I never posted cause I never made one I was truly happy with until now. Benjulie at the beach!! :D))
Yet another update for Jay lol
He's a character I've updated the most it feels. But I like this redraw of him, so maybe this will be the last one in a long while, haha. But I needed to make an updated image of him for his groupshot image, and because I was never settled on his last image, so enjoy!💚
I want to talk about Julie as I’ve noticed she gets a lot of hate from all corners of the fandom. Omniverse fans consider her boring, some fans write her as a toxic girlfriend especially Bwen shippers and she got the short end of the stick from the writers. As an Asian American, I want more Asian rep as well so that’s another reason I’m defending her and am still salty about how OV treated her.
The thing is, she always tried to be supportive of Ben since the start of Alien Force. She was willing to help during Big Chill’s pregnancy and tried to reassure Ben after his identity was leaked. While she was upset with the way the arrogant clone acted in Duped, she accepted Ben had responsibilities as a hero. She only got mad at him after learning he snuck off to watch the Sumo Slammers movie. That wasn’t even the first time he did something like that. Back in Pet Project, he lied so he could stay home and watch a movie. That doesn’t make him a bad guy, he probably doesn’t get much time to himself as a hero. The problem is a lack of communication as they could have just talked about it.
As for the claim that she was boring, we see glimpses of her personality that go beyond tennis player. She’s a bit headstrong as she would often charge into danger, examples being Pet Project, Greetings from Techadon, and Inspector 13. She can be a bit stubborn about what she believes in and really wants to help people when joining the Flame Keeper’s Circle, something she shares with Ben who also has a hard time changing his mind and really enjoys helping people. It’s a shame we only saw her dad once. Something UAF didn’t do nearly enough was flesh out the characters families more. Let Julie interact with Carl and Sandra and vice versa. Have them stage an intervention with Ben and their concerns about his fame. Ben meeting Julie’s parents could have been a motivation to be a better boyfriend. Flesh out her relationship with her dad. Dwayne McDuffie was a big supporter of diversity in comics. It would have been a great opportunity to show a healthy Asian parent-child relationship as opposed to the Tiger parent stereotype.
Now onto Omniverse. For starters, like the AF trio, her design feels like a step in the wrong direction. Julie was always shown to be very mature and yet like Gwen, she dresses more like a 10 year old in OV. As @vreedleedleedle pointed out, her design looks much more like a racial stereotype than in UAF especially her eyes. Second, the end of Ultimate Alien made her important as a character where she was able to talk some sense into Ben when he was about to remake the universe in his image. You’d think from the ending that she’d be part of the team more often. Then OV doesn’t mention her until the end of season 2 where we learn they broke up. Even if you prefer them as just friends, they didn’t do nearly enough with her character and she doesn’t make another appearance till the harem episode where she’s used for jokes. Julie deserved better than how the writers or fans treated her and she’s not a bad girlfriend. She respected that Ben had a job to do and only got angry when he didn’t care about her interests. Again, them having flaws doesn’t make them bad people, they’re emotionally immature teens who’ve been through a lot of traumatic events. They’re going to make mistakes.
Ben is bottom dominant when it comes to rex, kevin and rook, but when we talk about julie he is submissive top, I still don't know of other partners he had or with whom he is related, but I have no doubt 🧐
That scene in “Rules of Engagement” where Ben tries to talk to Julie again while she’s trying to leave with her new replacement boyfriend lives in my head because like despite it being a lost cause, he still tries to say he “promises to always put her first” and that “he can change.” Like, honey no, there are some things you can’t change. You don’t need to be in a relationship that constantly demands that you change. And if that doesn’t work for her, that doesn’t make you bad.
