JOOOO JSKAGANSKN Since the first second I saw of this video I knew it was going to be so freaking special! You’re so talented gosh I can’t- the clips, the quotes, the parallels - all soo on top, everything works so perfectly together😭 1:40-1:50 the “talking” parallel like are you kidding me? My heart can’t handle it. And also how you show how similar is Jackson now to April in everything that he does and says. And fast speed of their key moments with the sound effect aaaahhhhh SO BEAUTIFUL. And the ending omg the ending!!! That’s where they ended up for me too “in bed, in love”😭💗 love you sm girl! Honestly what a talent!
If Sarah had stayed on the show, I’m sure Jackson and April would have found their way back to one another, but given that one was staying and one was going, I was willing to accept a happy ending for her, even if it meant letting them go. But who knows? Izzie and Alex got their happy ending after all these years. Maybe when the show ends or Jesse leaves Japril will too. Beautiful edit!
Sarah was FIRED on international woman day, to make Jackson single and available for Maggie. Sarah was and she still is DEVASTATED that she was gotten out of the show and that japril was buried.
@@ForeverFashionGirl21 Love isn’t always enough. Jo repeatedly used her abuse as an excuse to mistreat Alex. Him choosing better for himself and her kids was the right thing and as someone who carries that trauma, and now acts as an advocate, I was happy to see it. I’m just sad Grey’s lacked the gumption to have Alex say it to Jo himself.
Wow the feels!!!! Greys killed me with mark and Lexie, then merder, and now japril!!! These two should be endgame! The feels from this video... my goodness! Such an amazing job!
I went from hating April’s character to crying when she left... I hate that she left abs she and Jackson fell apart and suffered so much heartache. I know everyone loves Derrick and Meredith’s love story but for me it will always be Jackson and April. There’s is so much more realistic and relatable to me.
can I hate Shonda for destroying this amazing couple? Cause I do! god, this vid makes me want them back together so much, so sad, everything went to hell :(
Shonda doesn’t write the show anymore and she hasn’t for years. The show went completely down hill as soon as the girl who plays Katherine Avery started writing the show.
he is so lost without her !! can't love anyone or even do a real friendship after her she was everything ... i was watching Grey cause of them and she left i stopped watching for 2 seasons cause i couldn't imagine how i would see the show after them !! best story in a show i have every seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM CRYING! This is ART and what perfection looks like! But it reminds me of what we lost and I am so super angry! Japril was supposed to be endgame, they deserved that!
No Grey's couple has anything on them. They went through it all and neither of them did bad things to each other. Everyone else was cheating and having abortions and lying and they were just 🥺🥺 poor babies deserved better
I can't think of another tv couple that should have been endgame. Jackson truly loved April. April was inexperienced Jackson was her first in everything. Communication wasn't their strongest point which killed their relationship sorry the stupid writers killed their relationship. I'm way too invested 🤣.
Watching this is a rollercoaster of emotion ... as I still haven't braved watching their end as to me they will never be over, so I did not not know this had been Jacksons recent storyline. It's so bittersweet in the hardest way, to see him see things from Aprils viewpoint it must be breaking him apart going back over their relationship now she's just out of reach :( ,but I will tell you one thing nobody will ever convince me that any other relationship they have will truly last a lifetime, they will find each other again even if they are the most adorable old age sweethearts
Looking their story like this , fast , I realize, Jackson realizes what he had only after he has lost it... And I always blamed timing as a reason for their divorce but ... he is also a lot to blame 🤷♀️
I dont think thats true, throughout their marriage jackson really tried to save them but april pushed him away to the extent that he realised he wouldnt be put first by her when he would need her to. It wasnt any of their faults, she was having a hard time and so was he due to the child they lost but thats what ruined their marriage. He needed her but she didnt need him and after that realisation he decided he cldnt be in a relationship like that. After he realised that she wont put him first he pulled away, and then she realised and tried to fix it. So essentially they both tried but it was timing that ruined it all. Even after the divorce jackson always looked out for april but she didnt bother that much about him in that aspect. He put in a lot more into the relationship than she ever did. And the thing that made him believe in god was when he prayed to god for april and she woke up.
Also i love this edit so much like its perfect but it portrays jackson in a way like he was the one who ruined the relationship, so i do understand why you would say that. But theres a lot more april did that was shown and whatever jackson did was only ever in retaliation to april or due to the hurt she gave him
Iqra Mughal agreed!! Jackson needed April and she was no where to be found!! Like yeah she left cuz she needed but she left for months without thinking what her husband might be feeling or that he might need support!
omg i hate Krista Vernoff, someone fire that woman and bring Sarah back, for God sake!!! Japril will always be endgame, and every single wise person knows it.
I think that that relationship is playing an important role for both of them because they're both coming out of two very different situations -- her losing her fiance [Ripley] and Jackson having this little bit of bumper cars with a couple of relationships since the love of his life left and the person he co-parents with [April]," Williams said Jesse Williams said that - i will never forget those sweet words about April being the love of Jacksons Life :) 03-11-2020
hahahah little bit of bumber cars i caaant hahahha im not an english native omg is that a saying? i love maggie as an individual but gaggie was really baddd
My own heart broke when they were appart. Especially when they were raising their child and being friends again. I really hoped that they would end up back together. Then April almost died and Jackson actually prayed. In that moment I thought I was absolutely sure they would be together again. When Jackson didn't stand up the second time she was going to marry Matthew I was so disappointed.
Denicea Christina Yeaaah totally, personally I would totally be up for it lmao even if it’s not realistic, soulmates are still soulmates and people are too stupid to realise what they feel before it’s too late 80% of the time
Great video! I was sad about the ending they got. But then i realized that the writers of 13x16 clearly meant it as reconciliation , and Jesse and Sarah played it like that. So that is enough for me and i dont care about the behind the scenes drama which messes up lot of shows ending, but especially on grey.
WOW! That was breathtakingly beautiful! The choice of music is just perfect as well! The whole thing made me so damn emotional! 😭 I CANNOT wait for your next videos! I've seen a lot of your other Japril edits and they're just as beautiful! You're so talented to capture the magic there was between them!
This was so beautifully edited wow. JUST WOW. this definitely has to be one of my favorite japril videos ever. I love them & I love this video... they deserved so much better.
Oh My God! I'm speechless! Such a beautiful and amazing edit you made! You're clearly very talented! I would love to see more. Thank you for doing this.
Damn this is SO beautifully edited and emotional, WOW!! You are SO talented and this is SO well done and mesmerizing throughout every second of it. :) Happy New Year to you too!! I guess I also want to add some thoughts about this storyline they gave Jackson. Sorry for just writing an essay right here on your video. XD I've loved Jackson/April as a potential ship since before their first kiss, since that time when most fans were still saying April seemed really annoying, and yet I related to April and hated that people were calling her annoying lol. XD I loved the idea of her getting this kind of a ship. I love how many scenes they got before their time was up on the show and how epic so many fanvideos about them then have the potential to be. :) I have many feels about their storylines and all the angst the writers put them through. But this most recent Jackson storyline... I mean I hate it. But you forced me with this GORGEOUS, beautiful fanvideo of parallels and music to put aside those thoughts for 3 minutes and try to immerse myself in appreciating exactly what the show gave us, for better or for worse. That includes the ridiculous "surprise April married Matthew after all" plot too but also the, to me, frustrating and ridiculous Jackson became a believer plot. You captured exactly what the show was going for with this Jackson arc in such a wonderful way and I really appreciate that you have taken me more deeply into this storyline than I'd let myself feel drawn into it before. I am an atheist. I'm not even just an atheist, I'm an atheist activist and by some definitions an "anti-theist" who has been paying attention for nearly a decade to especially how hard it is for people who are fully convinced their religion isn't true and their god doesn't exist after having been deeply involved in believing, and interested in helping make life easier for those people, in reassuring them that they are not horrible people and that they can have a deeply emotional life without a belief in a god and all of that. I'm interested in how harmful it is for people to believe God chose to let their baby die or for them to feel overwhelming shame at having lost their virginity before marriage or all sorts of stuff like that and I'm on that side of the whole... thing. Religion is not often brought up much on TV shows, at all, so you may think atheists are in a better position than Christians when it comes to TV representation. But it's not really true. A very liberal Christianity or *maybe* sometimes Jusiaism with a belief in a particular form of God, and heaven is the norm on television, and you see it in many characters on Grey's Anatomy: greysanatomy.fandom.com/wiki/Faith_and_Religion . You see in Boy Meets World and Everwood and these shows I grew up adoring these casual references that of course God exists and it's very rare to have characters who aren't cruel, caustic, autistic, socially inept, and emotionally stunted ever be actual openly nonbelievers in God and in Heaven. I know many of us adore the nuanced role of Cristina Yang on this show, but let's be real, Izzie literally called her a robot because of how she acts when it comes to emotional stuff so for her to be the atheist character we got was just another stereotypical representation where religion is for people who are less robot-like. We got such a character in Jackson, I thought, although I guess all along I was ignoring that he did seem relatively agnostic the episode where Samuel is born because he did talk to God in the chapel then because April believed. Other scenes implied though he was pretty close to atheist representation that I crave. I do think the writers of the show don't know how to let anyone be a full atheist. Amelia was an atheist in Private Practice th-cam.com/video/qGPX3kMGEsg/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/7oGLF1_w8uc/w-d-xo.html and yet she believes in God on this series now, and Jo's abusive ex, Paul, had a fiancee Jenny who said "Do you think he's evil? I mean, I'm a scientist, and I think I'm an atheist. But there's a little part of me that's worried that the girl in Billings is getting an evil kidney." She seems only agnostic with that statement lol. Still these are more explicit atheist representation than I'm used to ever getting. Anyway I'm upset they decided to write a storyline where he "Found God" and it's mainly because we don't get to see another character losing their faith and never getting it back to balance it out, if you know what I mean. I wish they didn't erase a minority identity (atheists are not the majority of the United States population, Christians are) and it may be a selfish wish, but yeah. So this video focused so heavily on this arc that I've decided I hate lol... And so I wanted to share that I've REALLY thought all this through. That being said you made me appreciate that there of COURSE is beauty to be found in this storyline, and in fact the acting from Jesse Williams is so impressive and phenomenal and I imagine I might follow him wherever he goes after Grey's Anatomy (or his arc on it) ends. :) And I do love how you captured this.
I stopped watching the show after april left so i'm a little confused. Did jackson want april back? I'm crying 😭😭😭 This video is so beautiful, amazing editing.
GlamorousXOXO1 yes! April got in an accident very similar to Meredith when she nearly drowned, she almost died. Jackson then found God and prayed that he not take April away even though he knew she was dating Matthew again. (Yes they get back together). April woke up and heard him praying and mentioned later him praying to God. He tells Maggie later that one thing they never saw eye to eye on was God but after the accident now that he’s finally found God she was already married to Matthew and moved on so he needed to move on as well. I hope this helped explain it
He told Maggie that now that he believes,it is too late because April is married and happy with someone else..That he would never do anything to take her happiness away..But he is grieving what they both lost,,what their daughter lost..the bad timing..
its not too late because of their faith. its too late because he couldnt get over the fact that she needed to heal differently than him. that she chose to repair the things life broke without him. they talked about god, but ultimately, their marriage ended because of him not accepting that what she needed was jordan and that she couldnt be there for him not out of spite evil but because of lack of mental capacity...
i would actually love for april to come back. make a story about police brutality and her raising a quarter black girl...lets have her talk with jackson how it wouldve been for samuel if he was alive...let jackson explain to her ,,the talk''...there is so much to unpack in their co parenting..also i want matthew to be all ,,but not all cops'' ,,theyre just doing their job'' kinda way so april and him fight and it turns out he's far more conservative (now that would ne realistic with all the religiousness) .. and she realizes thats how middle class white christian americans can be and her saying sth like i still love you matthew but i cant accept this on harriets or samuels behalf...her struggling with her faith again...jackson consoling her and since he is now religious too they find back together hehe the end
I Wish Matthew and April get divorced and then Jackson and April end together That Mer has her happy ending That Owen moves to Switzerland to be with Cristina again And then Grey's anatomy could end
Makes me wonder even though April is not in the show how do we think her and matthews marriage is? Does she think about Jackson often is there a chance that if Jesse leaves before the show ends or even just when the show ends could Japril happen again I sure hope so 🤞💔😭

Matthew needs to die or something bcs she can’t leave him again, that is just cruel and if he dies or something japril can come back for ever

This is so incredibly stunning! I really wish they hadn't ended April's story the way they did. Her and Jackson deserved better.
The side shot of April and Jackson fleeing from the wedding is absolutely perfect. It always gives me all the feels.
inside, he wanted to be with her. but when he realized it was already to late. they would've been so happy..😕
he is so lost without her !! can't love anyone or even do a real friendship after her she was everything ... i was watching Grey cause of them and she left i stopped watching for 2 seasons cause i couldn't imagine how i would see the show after them !! best story in a show i have every seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“who else are you talking to?” “April” and the build up and then 1:50 jaksissj LITERAL CHILLS
The best 3 minutes and 16 seconds of my life!!💜💜😍😍😭😭
The ending of this video is everything. April’s monologue of saying of how she wanted things to end “in a bed, in love”. I lost it🥺

You said it
If anything makes me cry it’s this. A true love and heartbreak story in one. Will never forget when she hid the pregnancy and got the divorce.

I think that that relationship is playing an important role for both of them because they're both coming out of two very different situations -- her losing her fiance [Ripley] and Jackson having this little bit of bumper cars with a couple of relationships since the love of his life left and the person he co-parents with [April]," Williams said

hahahah little bit of bumber cars i caaant hahahha im not an english native omg is that a saying? i love maggie as an individual but gaggie was really baddd
No words.. They deserved so much better. I loved them.
japril was hands down the third best relationship on that show next to merder and slexie
My own heart broke when they were appart. Especially when they were raising their child and being friends again. I really hoped that they would end up back together.

Yeah, the poor guy. Just imagining Jackson standing once again to their wedding made me laugh god I’m that horrible
@@ludivine4043 Hahahaha poor Matthew, if Jackson would have done it a second time, it would have just been a cruel joke
Denicea Christina Yeaaah totally, personally I would totally be up for it lmao even if it’s not realistic, soulmates are still soulmates and people are too stupid to realise what they feel before it’s too late 80% of the time
@@ludivine4043 True that. If Jackson would have believed or respected April's religion sooner, their marriage would have gone differently.
they deserved so much more...
A piece of me is still hoping that they get back together (even tho it might not happen)
I'll never get over this

This breaks my heart
Great video! I was sad about the ending they got. But then i realized that the writers of 13x16 clearly meant it as reconciliation , and Jesse and Sarah played it like that.

So this video focused so heavily on this arc that I've decided I hate lol... And so I wanted to share that I've REALLY thought all this through.
That being said you made me appreciate that there of COURSE is beauty to be found in this storyline, and in fact the acting from Jesse Williams is so impressive and phenomenal and I imagine I might follow him wherever he goes after Grey's Anatomy (or his arc on it) ends. :) And I do love how you captured this.
I love Jackson 🥺🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

I stopped watching the show after april left so i'm a little confused. Did jackson want april back?
I'm crying 😭😭😭
This video is so beautiful, amazing editing.
GlamorousXOXO1 yes! April got in an accident very similar to Meredith when she nearly drowned, she almost died. Jackson then found God and prayed that he not take April away even though he knew she was dating Matthew again. (Yes they get back together). April woke up and heard him praying and mentioned later him praying to God. He tells Maggie later that one thing they never saw eye to eye on was God but after the accident now that he’s finally found God she was already married to Matthew and moved on so he needed to move on as well. I hope this helped explain it
He told Maggie that now that he believes,it is too late because April is married and happy with someone else..That he would never do anything to take her happiness away..But he is grieving what they both lost,,what their daughter lost..the bad timing..
its not too late because of their faith. its too late because he couldnt get over the fact that she needed to heal differently than him. that she chose to repair the things life broke without him. they talked about god, but ultimately, their marriage ended because of him not accepting that what she needed was jordan and that she couldnt be there for him not out of spite evil but because of lack of mental capacity...
Fateli tornare assieme❤ April e Jackons💕x sempre
hey, i really love this video (i've watched a million times hahha) and i would love if you told me which app you used to did it🥰🥺💚💚
This is so gorgeous xoxo
i would actually love for april to come back. make a story about police brutality and her raising a quarter black girl...lets have her talk with jackson how it wouldve been for samuel if he was alive...let jackson explain to her ,,the talk''...there is so much to unpack in their co parenting..also i want matthew to be all ,,but not all cops'' ,,theyre just doing their job'' kinda way so april and him fight and it turns out he's far more conservative (now that would ne realistic with all the religiousness) .. and she realizes thats how middle class white christian americans can be and her saying sth like i still love you matthew but i cant accept this on harriets or samuels behalf...her struggling with her faith again...jackson consoling her and since he is now religious too they find back together hehe the end
OMFGGG YOU BE THE FUCKING WRITER PLEASE I AM BRGGING YOU!?!?!?
they were always better than meredith and derek, there, i said it
🤣" there I said it"
Hahah that is so true, i like merder but japril is so much better. There the best from the whole series
Japril x siempre ❤️
Aquarius and Scorpio
dang it now i have to fix my mascara
I hope she in season 17
Que regresen a la nueva temporada 16 .. otra vez Jackson y aApril por favor .I love
I Wish Matthew and April get divorced and then Jackson and April end together
That Mer has her happy ending
That Owen moves to Switzerland to be with Cristina again
And then Grey's anatomy could end
A beautiful couple though 🤩 after Derek and Meredith, Alex and Jo 🤩
Makes me wonder even though April is not in the show how do we think her and matthews marriage is? Does she think about Jackson often is there a chance that if Jesse leaves before the show ends or even just when the show ends could Japril happen again I sure hope so 🤞💔😭
I love Japril very much. But even the thought of April leaving Matthew for Jackson again is super duper cringe.
They did
Amo vcs🥰
Im sure they will get back together
