Moon Sign Interpretations

I used to not be a huge fan of pre-made interpretations, but I remember when I first started studying astrology how helpful they really were in getting me to where I am now. So, that being said, here we go.  *If you resonate with this post (or if you do not), please drop a comment and/or share. Feedback is always helpful! Plus, it’s always fun to hear what people who HAVE a certain placement have to say about their experience with it.* What is the moon? It represents our intuition, of course. How we see the unseen, how we feel what we can’t directly view. Each sign has its own way of doing that.  Moon in Aries: This placement tends to see things as they are. In fact, of all the moon signs, they’re the least likely to assume or read into anything. This is a double edged sword, as they read into something, but they are also extremely likely to miss something “between the lines” in another person’s actions. They also have a tendency to assume that everyone is as direct as they are, and can become frustrated by the roundabout other moon placements go about things. Their simplicity, however, allows them be firm in their opinions and devote less time to forming them and more time to acting on them. Sometimes Aries moons are inaccurately judged as mean or trying to be hurtful when they are simply unaware something was expected of them. This sign is almost never devious, and when they are upset, they are well aware and will make sure you are as well.  Moon in Taurus: This placement tend to decide very quickly whether or not they like something. It takes quite a bit to get them to change their mind, since their instincts are going to insist that they stand their ground. Even when they do change their minds, Taurus moons can be prone to harboring a lingering sense of their original judgement call. This rootedness in their opinion, however, makes them much more difficult to deceive, as they don’t forget their original perception of how something was once they see it. 

Moon in Gemini: This placement tends to be the hardest for other moons to pin down. Gemini is possibly the most versatile placement for the moon, as someone with this placement can feel one way one moment, and then completely different later on. This emotional range can cause them to be prone to a bit of an identity crisis, as they easily identify with very different groups of people. As quickly as they arrived at an opinion, they’ve found someone else with a new way to look at it to listen to. 

Moon in Cancer: This placement has an amazing capacity to gain an intuitive feel for just about anything. It analyzes and feels situations in great depth, far more than other moon placements do. Because of the amount of emotional energy this placement expends in gaining a strong understanding of its initial experience with something, it can become upset when it has to redo this learning in a new environment.  Their strong understanding comes from a tendency to estimate, because they instinctively know they don’t always see the whole picture. So, they fill in the details with their imaginations. On one hand, their estimations can seem almost psychically accurate, but occasionally they get too much in their own heads trying to figure something out and are a bit off. While it is capable of adapting, it takes it much longer to do so than faster placements because of the amount of work that goes into gaining real understanding rather than cursory knowledge. Cancer moons can be prone to “rejecting the new” (people, ideas, ect) as a result, but eventually do warm up to it. 

Moon in Leo: This placement is often hyper-aware, subconsciously, of how precious their time is. They can sometimes appear to other placements as conceited or too self-important to be bothered, but they are probably the only placement who realized how precious life is. Now, they tend to direct this thought more towards their own life, but they can also have extremely warm and inspiring opinions for those they care about because they intuitively feel how precious and amazing those people are. 

Moon in Virgo: This placement, while actually quite peaceful by nature, is easily stressed out. Once they are made aware of an issue (contrary to popular belief, they do not LOOK for things to correct, those things are forced into their awareness) they have an intense compulsion to fix it. Virgo is quite spiritual by nature and has a natural understanding that small things are best handled before they become bigger things. This sense of how things incur over time leads them to want to do everything NOW, despite their frustrating human limitations. They can also feel bitter because they are painfully aware of how many things they can’t control are going to snowball, but without them so many things that are in their control do NOT snowball, and most other placements do not realize how frequently this is the case. 

Moon in Libra: This placement has the unusual ability to understand both sides of an issue and simultaneously empathize with both points and neither of them at the same time. While most people assume those with this placement are stuck between seeing two ideas as equally good, they are more often in the precarious position of seeing both options as equally bad, and are forced to come up with an alternative. To reiterate, they do not have a hard time deciding. Most of the time, when given two choices, a Libra moon’s instinct is to sort of “nope” out of them both, giving the illusion of indecision. This is because they intuitively know there is a better option to be found somewhere. This can, however, take a lot of time to discover, and sometimes opportunities where taking the lesser of two evils would have been preferable to inaction pass them by. Just as often, though, they find an option that is better than either original proposition.  Moon in Scorpio: This placement tends to be pretty chill. While outwardly, they may seem sad, they typically just have resting bitch face (I’m sorry, but you know it’s true.) and are in a calm state. Scorpio moons understand that everything in our world is temporary. They’re actually capable of feeling immense joy because of how present they can be in an imperfect moment. Other placements can’t seem to understand why something makes them so darn happy, while they seemingly don’t care about anything else in the world. The simple answer is that when they’re happy, they know they weren’t owed it and there’s no guarantee it’ll happen ever again, so they feel it all at once. This can also leave them apathetic to others’ pain, because to them, the awareness of something’s temporary nature is so plain it’s almost funny to them when someone else thought something would last forever. They aren’t as callous as they appear, but they will always be reserved around those who do not share their understanding of how fleeting things really are. 

Moon in Sagittarius: This placement has an intuitive understanding that there is always something more to be found, whether it be in a person’s actions, an event they watch happen, or even their own understanding and existence. They are constantly trying to figure out how things relate. The world, however, has many layers and while Sagittarius moons accurately connect some of those layers, sometimes they miss others and think they have the whole picture before they do. Often times, they have enough of the picture put together to make something work that everyone else assumed would fail, but other times they have to completely redraw their mental map from scratch, which they do with surprising glee and fervor. That forward drive allows them to recover from things that would cripple other placements, although they may find those situations are often self made. 

Moon in Capricorn: This placement embody’s survival of the fittest. They can seem cold, but really, the just have a strong sense of what will work and what will not. They are often ashamed of their own flaws far more than other placements, and tend to cope by compensating heavily with growing stronger. Capricorn moons have a very hard time ignoring facts for their own comfort, much less the comfort of others. Concrete truths ring true to their core, and as much as they may try to bend them, they always come back to what they know will work and what will not based on the facts. 

Moon in Aquarius: This placement has a natural curiosity unparalleled by other placements. They can be prone to intrusive thoughts and impulsive actions because they simply want to see what will happen, and may do things that go against widely accepted social codes both intentionally and unintentionally. They learn how to intuitively find solutions to a multitude of life’s problems, but are much more interested in finding the solutions than implementing them. This can leave them in a great position to give advice to other people and even themselves, but unless the circumstances are compelling, their unlikely to follow their own good advice. They simply prefer to find a different way to do something. It looks like reinventing the wheel from the outside, but for Moon in Aquarius folks, life is simply begging to be played with, and doing something the simple way isn’t living at all. It may take them years, but they almost always find a workaround. 

Moon in Pisces: This placement instinctively reverses everything it feels. While they do connect to the opinions and feelings of others, their tendency to also acknowledge the opposite position can leave them feeling equally connected and isolated, as if they have a second personality. Pisces moons can exist in two worlds at once completely, which tends to manifest as inaction on their part. While they may outwardly act one way, their imagination compensates by wondering how things would go if they did they exact opposite of what they do. Their dual nature can make them easy to connect with halfway, but almost impossible to connect with fully. They can seem a little melancholy on the outside because they feel a sense of sadness that other placements can’t keep up with how fast their imagination works and how crucial understanding their imagination is to understanding not just how they interact with the world, but how they feel about those interactions. 

FREE READING OPPORTUNITY

If you liked this interpretation of your moon (or someone else’s moon) and are curious about a reading with me, I’m actively screening for participants in a research project that includes doing a free reading for anyone selected. I have a survey to find candidates who meet the criteria I’m doing research on. 

https://www.survio.com/survey/d/R0Y8Y8C5U8B5U5S4U

I strongly encourage you to share this link with your friends who are maybe on the fence about astrology, as I’m trying to get a decent sample size. If everyone I survey are astrologers themselves it could impact my results. Normally I do not offer free readings to people I don’t know, but it’s essential I don’t have a personal relationship with the person I’m reading for this particular study. 

Anyhoo, I hope to hear from you soon!

[leonardovaldezz]

It is a known fact around Camp Half-Blood that you do not breathe a word of Leo Valdez and Nico Di Angelo’s relationship. Well, at least not when they’re around to hear. And it’s not for some nasty dumb reason like homophobia, it’s because the two idiots don’t seem to know they’re in a relationship. When Piper asked Leo what was going on there, the boy nearly burst into flames while he stuttered over himself trying to explain that he and Nico were ‘just friends.’ And when Jason had asked Nico the same question, he could’ve sworn he was going to be sent to the underworld that very night with the look The Ghost King gave him.

In all honesty, their friends totally get it, sometimes coming out with a relationship when they all live crazy lives is hard, or maybe the boys just wanted their privacy, that was fine too. So they never push the issue, even when Leo and Nico’s hands brush as they walk a little too close together, even when Leo shows up to the pavilion in Nico’s aviator jacket, and even when Nico starts wearing a necklace one day, a small silver chain with a gold L dangling from it. They pretend they don’t see the lingering glances, the longing smiles and the fleeting touches. They pretend they don’t know the L on Nico’s necklace means ‘Leo’, they pretend for the sake of their friends sanity.

Now, this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t get frustrating at times, because it does, way too often.

“I swear to the Gods if I see Leo make Nico blush one more time I’m going to hurl them both into Hades myself.” Piper grumbles, taking a long sip from her cup. They’re all seated in the pavilion, and it’s one of those days where they don’t have to sit with their siblings, so naturally everyone in their little friend group gathered at one table.

Percy snorts, stabbing at his blue pancakes like they did something to personally offend him, “Yeah, good luck with that, I’m sure Nico would love to take Leo down there, like some kind of skeleton date or something.” Percy pauses, and then he shoves a piece of pancake in his mouth and talks with his mouth full, “Actually thinking about that now it’d be a cute idea, I bet Leo could like light a fire to show them the way-”

Annabeth slaps her hand over her boyfriends mouth, nose scrunched up in disgust, “Less talking more eating, seaweed brain, we don’t need to see your chewed up food.” Percy rolls his eyes but he listens, and as Annabeth draws her hand away she wipes it on her pants.

“I think it’s romantic.” She says, stormy gray eyes flickering up to look at everyone at their table, “Sure it’s a litte frustrating but that’s just from our perspective, I bet they’re really happy and who are we to say what they should and shouldn’t do?”

“Their friends,” Jason pipes up, “We’re their friends and we should support them.” He pauses, and then adds, “Even if it is infuriatingly obviously how much they like one another. Let them figure it out in their own time.”

There’s murmurs of agreement between them, but there’s also an unspoken acknowledgment that if the other half of their group were here and not in the Roman Camp there would probably be more of a discussion, maybe even an disagreement. Granted, there still IS a disagreement, bcause Percy is Percy.

“But,” Percy pipes up after a moment, mischievous grin on his lips as he pushes his tray to the side, “What if there was a way we could help them? You know, just to nudge them along?” He looks everyone in their group in the eyes, a silent challenge hanging in the air. Piper is the first to break, and quite honestly it’s probably because she and Percy have similar chaotic energy.

“I’m SO down!” She says, “Anything to get them together, it’s driving me insane.”

“Sick,” Percy says with a gin, reaching across the table to bump fist with the girl before turning to Annabeth, “What about you?” He asks, and when he sees the familiar look of doubt flicker across her face he adds, “Come on, you know you want to have a part in this.” That gets Annabeth to hesitate, and after a moment of contemplation she sighs.

“Okay,” She agrees, and even before she finishes what she’s saying Percy and Piper and breaking out into cheers.

“But,” She adds, holding her hands out to shush the both of them, “Only on the condition that we don’t interfere directly with their relationship, I don’t want to push them into something they might possibly not even want.” Both Piper and Percy easily agree to this, and then they turn their eyes to their last target: Jason. It’s silent as they stare at him, and he just stares back, blue eyes looking wary. In the end they don’t even have to say anything, because a second later he’s letting out a long sigh and saying, “I’m in.”

They all break out of in hoots and hollers of victory, and ‘they all’ is actually just Piper and Percy. Annabeth just watches and shakes her head at their antics, and then a thought dawns on her,

“Where even are Leo and Nico? They’re normally not this late to breakfast.” That has a way of getting everyone to settle down, and it’s a great question, really, because while they were all discussing getting their friends together the two said boys managed to pass the dining pavilion completely unnoticed. They’re trecking through the campgrounds woods, hand in hand, talking and laughing with one another in the secluded area. Eventually they find what they’re looking for, a large rock pile that sits deep in the dense forest, just a bit to the right. Leo drops Nico’s hand in favor of pulling off his backpack, and they get settled on the ground in front of the rocks.

Nico sits criss cross as he watches Leo set up their blanket and spread out their food. They’d decided to go on a picnic, it was always nice here in Camp, so why not? Besides, how could Nico say no after the trouble he knew Leo must’ve gone through to get them McDonalds.

“Ding ding, order up!” Leo sags once he has everything laid out, tossing his bag to the side and coming to settle on the ground across from Nico, giving him one of those knee weakening smiles; all blinding white and full of teeth.

Nico snorts, making the first move to grab some fries, “This isn’t some type of diner.” He says, popping a few fries in his mouth. Leo looks at him with an overdramatic look of disgust on his face, dunking his nugget into his sweet and sour sauce.

“One: How you eat fries without ketchup is beyond me, it’s boarderline disrespectful. Two: it is a diner. Today we are eating at Leo’s Dinner, it specializes in smuggling in food we’re not supposed to have.”

That earns him a laugh, and mentally Leo pats himself on the back.

“How did you even manage to get lunch food, it’s like ten in the morning.” Nico asks, pushing down the urge to laugh again as Leo watches him eat another dry fry in horror.

“It’s always lunchtime somewhere!” Leo answers, and Nico almost chokes on his food. His cheeks grow hot at the thought of Leo not only breaking the rules for him, but also going to a whole other time zone to get him the food he likes. It’s. Incredibly sweet, and gets Nico’s heart pounding in his chest.

“Well,” Nico says, suddenly feeling shy, tucking a few black strands of hair behind his ear, “Thank you. I appreciate it.”

Leo smiles, puts his nuggets down and leans across the blanket. He lifts Nico’s chin and they kiss, soft, sweet and chaste, hot skin clashing with cold. When Leo leans back he’s giving another blinding smile, “No problemo!” He says, willing himself not to set on fire. It’s been a little over a month and he still feels like he’s about to explode whenever they kiss.

He leans back in his seat, lets Nico compose the redness in his cheeks as they eat in a comfortable silence for a little while.

“You think they know?” Nico asks after a moment, dark eyes flickering up to look at Leo. The boy pauses, and then he shrugs.

“I don’t see how they could not, we haven’t exactly be super secret about... us.” Leo answers. Nico gives a soft huff of laughter, “And who’s fault is that?”

“Definitely not mine,” Leo jokes, feigning indifference as he drenches his fries in ketchup, “Don’t know how they could’ve figured it out at all. You’ve got me there.”

Nico grins but plays along, shrugging his shoulders, “Our friends are observant, it’s not like we have a sign over our heads that says ‘we’re boyfriends’ or anything, but I’m sure they caught onto the subtle signs.”

Leo grins at him, lopsided and mischievous, completely adorable in nature. “I’m sure they have.”

And really, in reality, they’re pretty sure that their friends know they’re together. So what if they didn’t come right out and say it? Or like, make an announcement of it. Their friends can put two and two together.... can’t they?

Or, in other words, that time when Leo and Nico are boyfriends but all of their friends just think they’re beating around the bush and try to get them together when they’re already together.

Pumpkin spice, and everything nice.

This was a request from @bobasheebaby as a part of @speedyoperarascalparty Hallween ask event!! For Leo & Aria, fluffy pumpkin carving with smuty... ok, here we go!!

"Look mommy, im a pumpkin monster raw." Five year old Noah came running up with pumpkin guts all over his head. "Oh my goodness, you scared me." Aria's hand exaggeratedly flew up to her chest. "Uncle Maxy and Noah are making a mess, they keep trying to put that stuff in my hair." Natalie pouted. Aria gave Maxwell a pointed look as he came running up. "Maxwell, am I going to have to get your wife on you?" She tried to stiffen back a giggle as maxwell approached her, pumpkin seeds stuck to his face. "Noooo please don't. It's just, maxine is still so little, and Bartie wants to hang out with Drake. Can we please play?" Maxwell danced around as Noah joined in, "paleeeze mommy?" He batted those bright blues at her. Jesus if this kid didnt look exactly like his father. "Fine, go play."

"Thanks mommy" noah hugged her hip. "Thanks litte blossom." Maxwell ran off after Noah. "Why don't you go see if aunt Ellie needs any help with Maxine ok?" She leaned down to kiss her daughter on the forehead. It was the annual pumpkin carving at the palace a tradition they started when the twins were small, and had now grown since their friends started families of their own.

Bertrand and Savana had just found out they were expecting again, Bartie was now 7. Maxwell and Ellie welcomed Maxine almost two years ago. Drake and Liv had Diavlos who was now 3, Liam and Anitah were expecting a little one soon as well. Even Bastien welcomed a baby with Elissa, Aria's cousin.

She smirked as she spotted her husband crossing the yard "well, she's changed and fast asleep in the nursery." He said wrapping his arms around her waist. Their 3rd baby, Sadie was born two days after Maxine, a kidless trip to the Bahamas with Max and Ellie produced a wonderful surprise.

"You know your super sexy when you're in Dad mode." She turned around placing a lingering kiss on his lips. "Is that so?" He grinned. "I like to think im the sexiest when im in naughty Husband mode." He kissed her neck "the maze is empty." He breathed into her ear, they took off to the maze before anyone could see them.

Leo yanked her into one of the corners, his lips capturing hers in a heated kiss. He lifted her shirt as her fingers fumbled with the button if his pants. "I've had this on my mind all day Love." He groaned as his stiff cock sprang forward from its restraints, Aria palming it as she dropped to her knees. Her tongue swirled around the tip, causing his breath to hitch in his throat, before she slowly took his length into her mouth. A low growl escaped his lips "fuck babe. God your so good at that." She smirked as she bobbed her head up and down. He pulled her up, not wanting to finish that way. He yanked her pants down, and she kicked them off, he hooked his fingers into her undies and slid them down her legs. "On all fours love." He ordered and she complied.

He lowered to his knees. Rubbing tight circles around her sensitive bud, he slid two fingers into her wet heat Curling them, Each trust hitting her sweet spot. "Jesus Leo, stop teasing me and fuck me alread, before I finish on your hand." she begged. "Mmm you know what happens to impatient girls." He growled as he pulled his fingers out, gripping her around the waist, he sunk roughly into her causing her to jump. He slapped her ass as he frantically thrust into her. "Oh god. yes Leo." She rocked her hips to match his rhythm. Faster and harder, their rhythm in synch. Their moans becoming more urgent as they both found their release, Aria first scraming out his name as she came undone. Leo following right after, spilling his seed deep inside.

"Oh thank god, there you two are." Maxwell ran up to them. "What the fuck Maxwell." Aria yelled, as Leo was still inside of her. "What? you act like none of us haven't seen you two before, as much as you two go at it." He rambled. "Get to the point Beaumont." Leo seethed. "Right, um there's an emergency, we need your help." He turned and ran away. They frantically dressed, running out to the yard.

Aria stopped dead in her tacks when she seen it. She tried her hardest not to laugh at the sight. There was Bertrand flailing around the yard with a pumpkin stuck on his head. A snort escaped her lips as Leo followed suit. You could hear Bertrand complaining under the pumpkin. "Oh for fucks sakes." Olivia rolled her eyes as she yanked Bertrands hand pulling him to the wall and slamming his head against it, causing the pumpkin to crack. Bertrand pulled it off with ease. "Your welcome. " Olivia stalked off. The entire group laughed hysterically. A short while later Aria was finishing up painting the pumpkin she carved. Leo came up behind her. "Oh a pink and blue pumpkin, thats not really Halloween colors is it love?" He pointed out. She grinned as she turned the pumpkin around, displaying feet carved into the side. "No, maybe not Halloween, but something else." She smirked. Leo sat there for a moment, trying to figure out what his wife meant. His eye went wide "Are you serious love?"

"Mmhmm, are you happy?" She asked. He grabbed her face, kissing her hard. "I am over the moon Love."

"Happy Halloween Daddy."

"Happy Halloween Mommy."

[bi-lullaby]

I already sent you the list of male characters, so here's a list of our amazing GA women to try to rank from your favorite to least favorite, no ties allowed! :) Meredith, Cristina, Bailey, Izzie, Callie, Lexie, April, Jo, Arizona, Maggie, Amelia, Teddy, Addison, Erica. Good luck, and as always, feel free to include your reasons why because I love your answers! I realized while typing this that overall I love the way GA writes its female characters a lot more than its male ones, btw

Oh honey, same! Here’s my list, whoch has some Solid Reasons but the main one is who makes me recreate this gif:

More enthusiastically, which is very personal, otherwise by level of awesomeness it’d be, like, a 10-way tie!

1 - Meredith. I feel in love with her in the first ep and that has only grow exponentially over the last 15 seasons. Is she perfect? As far for it as possible. She can be harsh and inconsiderate of other people’s feelings, she can be arrogant and agressive. I know that. But I also feel she’s the character who’s the most aware of her own flaws and who actively tries to overcome them. Her whole relationship with Derek was a six season long of her working over her issues until she felt ready to be more intimate and close to someone and marry him. I feel like everyone is a little too harsh on her (main character curse). Every other person on the show is allowed to have bad days, to lash out and mourn and be sefish whrn they’re going through a lot (i mean, Amy has a whole speech to Mer about how “she’s never lost the love of her life” and “she doesn’t know how that messes a person up, and yet I see so many people agreeing with that and hating Mer when she was the one in Amy’s position and also took some less than stellar, hurtful decisions) but Mer, who has quantitatively gone through the most (not a competition because I feel she, Jo and Amy are on equal footing, just by sheer number of bad things), is called whinny, bitchy, cold, uncaring, when she is anything but! She cares so freaking much she’s willingb to go to any distance! Donating her liver to her stranded father because of her loved little sister? Risking her job and career for someone she loves? Risking her life/career/license for patients? Welcomig people in her home with open arms? Operating through a miscarriage while her husband lies dying on the next OR? Being a great friend who defends, sticks by, forgives, comforts and protects who she loves from abusive exes, jail, judgment or tests? She has done all that and more. Also, she’s so empathetic/compassionate! She refused to bet on George’s failure on season one, she was the only one to try and shield that “tumor pregnancy” patient from judgment, she was the only one (not her best and oldest friend or hes husband, Mer) to get Jo to talk after she became depressed, she defended Cristina’s choice to Owen even if that was not what she’d personally do (she had tried so hard for a baby! She went out of her way to adopt Zola!) not just because she had empathy for the fetus that would grow to mimic her own situation, but for the woman who would mimic her mother’s (also, low-key one of the best speeches, damn)! She feels everyone’s pains and tries her best to help! She’s dorky and fun and smiles so often, no matter how bad her life has been! She pushes people to be their best (Alex, Cristina, Jo). She’s a great teacher! Also, one of the things that make me the softest is how she recognizes the flaws in her upbringing and tries her best to correct them and not continue that bad cycle with her own children! When she’s mad and needs to be alone, she tells Zola “you’re perfect, and mommy needs a minute”. When she’s dating, she puts her kid’s feelings first and foremost! When she’s away from them, she misses them like crazy! She talks about them with a brilliant, vivid smile! All of her relationships are fantastic (she’s such a people-person, as much as she tries to cover it up and doesn’t know how to truly express it) and some criminally underrated. She’s a kind, brilliant, loving, still flawed, beautiful woman who deserves the world and more, and I’m on Meredith Grey’s defense squad from now till forever!

2 - Arizona. As a bubbly blonde wlw who’s interested in being a pediatric surgeon, has authority+parental issues and an older sibling she loves, Arizona is one of those “I see myself in them” characters that just make me so happy! I felt both represented and inspired to try my best, to be at the top of my game but jot let go of my humanity and compassion and happiness. It’s weird because I didn’t quite like her in the first few eps she appeared, as she was rude and biphobic and kinda crass. Then she grew on me enormously. I think her relationships are all so criminally underrated, and that she should come back with Callie and Sophia and April in tow and make my day. I suffered when she suffered, and when she smiles, I feel lighter and happier, truly! She showcases some important messages! I have said this in a previous post, but I love that she... Came into the show and left pretty much the same. Her arc wasn’t as much about change as it was about finding herself again, glueing her pieces back together again. She entered a bubbly, hardcore, brilliant peds surgeon who had a very strong, clear set of values, was able-bodied, enamorated with Callie Torres and didn’t want to have children, out and proud and beautiful. She left a bubbly, hardcore peds+fetal surgeon, a mother, with a very strong, clear set of values, woman with a disability, enamorated with Callie Torres, out and proud and beautiful. Some things changed and she grew, like any healthy, normal human being, but seeing her get lost in such a dark place where so litte of the true Arizona showed through and then have her come back to who she truly was, stronger and wiser and more determined, really puts out a hopeful message that I adore.

3 - Amelia. Has she been inconsistent? Did they apparently slap the tumor storyline on her already suffering character just to make up for it? Yeah. But overall I completely adore Amy. She has been through so much, so repeatedly, and I’m amazed at how she’s still... Such a deeply good person. She smiles and laughs and cares and helps and works and saves and emphatisazes and worries and loves. She’s adorable with children and so loving with Mer’s. She’s kind to the point of almost being a pushover, but knows when to stand up for herself. I adore her and Mer’s relationsjip and wish it was a lot more developed! I love those two strong, tragedy-plaged women having each other as a support system! I love how soft she is with Maggie, how she’s so considerate of her! I love how she fughts to be in Leo’s life! I love how she worries about what’s best for everyone! And I hope she has a lot of good coming her way those next seasons. She deserves the world.

4 - Maggie. She’s such a breathe of fresh air! She’s bubbly and awkward and stuttering and idealistic and worry-prone! She is learning! She feel so real, so relatable! Can she be annoying? Sure! A lot of the times! I have been annoyed with her a lot! But there are so many characters who have that flaw and worse and are so loved, why is she so scorned? Being brilliant, young, still figuring things out, hard-worker, sensitive, those are not flaws or bad things. Maggie deserves a world of happiness and some kids of her own to smother with that gentle love of hers, and to have more developed relationship with everyone in that show. Also, the lady-chief trifecta gives me life! She’s a good balance to all thsoe tragedy-stricken, life-weary people at GSMH and I stand by that.

5 - Bailey is fantastic and badass and one part of a powercouple that owns my heart and a goddamn talented surgeon and an adorable mother and probably gives the best hugs and the actress is SO DAMN TALENTED like that eye acting? A MASTERPIECE. She’s also one of the hearts of the show and it’d not be the same without her. She reminds me a lot of Peggy Carter - golden hearted badassess who’ve been put through the ringer by people who ask her to measure up to her male (and, in bailey’s case, white) colleagues - and who not only does it but is usually better than then. Not gonna lie, when she got chief, I felt like it had been my own flesh and blood being promoted to her dream job! But I don’t feel like it did her too well (neither does the narrative, apparently, since they had her get a heartattack and a sabatical and relationship problems because of it). I know it wont happen but I wish she’d, like, take a nice trip, maybe write a book, vacay, breath, work on her mental health and come back feeling good and ready to take on the world! One of the scenes that makes her be so awesome to me is her talk with Cristina when they’re both pregnant: Bailey, cuddling her stomach and loving her unborn baby, telling Cristina (wary and tired and absolutely not wanting to be carrying a fetus) that no one can judge her for her choice and that she is able to make that choice! Talk about supporting women on different paths than you! What pushes her “ranking” a bit lower on my list than what it’d have been in the first seasons is that the fandom put her on such a pedestal that she cannot be or do no wrong, ever, and that quickly makes me sick of a character. Bailey commits insurance fraud (changing the hour on a surgery so it’d be covered) to help a patient? Have never seen anyone even comment on it. Mer/Alex do the same? Oh nooooo, go off on them, Bailey! Bailey’s such a hardass she’s nicknamed “the Nazi”? BADASS (and she was). Any other character is hard on their interns/residents? Monsters, bitches, poor things. It’s more an issue with the fandom, ofc, but well, that has made me hate characters I previously loved, so I’m really sad it happed to her (not that I hate her, I love her, I’ve just became annoyed with the character), and with characters that become “mouthpieces” to the narrative (wanna show the character is wrong? Have Bailey yell at them, even if Bailey might be on their side/not care/have done the same or similar/isn’t that close to them) and thus, loose a bit of their authenticity. Plus, there’s this one thing that’s core to her personality and makes me annoyed (probs irrationally): any doctor: screws up bailey: I RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THIS. Like, you... Didn’t? They were grown-ass adults when they came to know her, were her interns for... Under a year? (it felt like a long time to us but the first three seasons were a year and they had vacation and she went on maternity leave). And then went their merry ways with her being a resident and them too (not to count the ones that weren’t even her interns, like April and Jackson. Plus, have you considered that with all their screw-ups (and there have been maaaaany), she should either realize that she isn’t responsible for their actions and stop pulling that tired, over-used, untrue card, or that she might not have “raised” them so well, if she insists that’s what she did? I get the feeling and it’s sweet, just... not True and kinda overused.

6 - Lexie. Death I cried the hardest. She was such a baby, trying her goddamn best! So smart, so kind, so passionate! I also really identified wither her “dorky, clumsy younger sibling who most people would (wrongly) name “the smart one”, the overeating and the romanticism and the passionate arguing over facorite characters). She’s just not quite as far up on my list because A) It’s been so long and I’m not yet on my rewatch where she shows up, so I feel like I might be glorifying/glossing over her flaws, B) Her immaturity in the relationship with Mark is annoying, C) The fandom glosses over all her flaws and always, always, always places her as 100% the only, sole, victim, which turns me off a lot, D) She was kind of a Mary Sue. I mean, photographic memory that allows her borderline superpowers and being so sweet it was almost nauseating and never being wrong and being irresistible and and and...and E) SHE HAD THE AUDACITY TO DIE LIKE THAT AND BREAK MY GODDAMN HEART.

7 -Callie! My sweet angel Callie! She’s just... I don’t even have words! Her relationships are all funny and amazing and I loved her from when she first appeared, as much as she’s changed throughout the seasons! I love that she is selfless and brave and wild and fun and quitky. It breaks my heart to see her sad, and I’ll never forgive her mother for the treatment of her! She definetly deserves better. I am so sad she’s not on the show anymore, just hope that she’s happy with Ari and their kid (s? Now? Maybe? Wouldn’t that be great?).

8 - Cristina. He character is refreshing, because she is allowed. To continue not being a people person. To have moments and realizations and weakness without taking a 180° turn and going from a type A to B in a second with no explanation (like in every Holidays movie in which a successful business woman who’s dedicated herself to her career all her life moves to a small city and suddenly, after meeting one “soft”guy, is a farm girl at heart who wants to have ten children and a traditional wedding and quit her job to stay-at-home because reasons). To have an abortion. To continue not wanting children. To marry and divorce and still be a whole person. To have her years of sacrifice and hard work pay off with the biggest career glow-up. Sandra’s acting knocks it out of the park, too, there’s no contest. Also, for a “robot”, she has some of the most emotional, deep, telling scenes in the show! Taking care of Mer before the boards even if it might mean she’d get sick too? Her scene with George’s dad? Crying to Webber because she “lost her edge?” The “i’m free” scene? Talking about her father? Ugh, my heart! I placed her “low” (Still top ten female characters and top ten Grey’s characters tho) because, as amazing as she is, she also reminds me a lot of people that ruined my life or made it miserable. That sass and arrogance and and self-centered tendencies might be endearing in-character but irl, I’d suffer if I had to be around her. Also, because I’m too much a Mer stan (and I admit that this point is a total bias), I kinda still can’t let go of their fight in season 9 (when Mer had Bailey and Cristina felt left out and just... Was not nice about it). Humans make mistakes! She wasn’t 100% in the wrong! Mer said some crap too! But as I said, this is based on feelings more than fact and that one fight left me so uncomfortable and I felt Cristina crossed some really personally-important-to-me lines. Plus, there’s this glorification some things of her that just... Make me angry. This is coming from someone from a family with lots of doctors, who’s studying to be a doctor, who’s had all her teachers stop in class to beg us to ask for help and work on our mental health, whose choice in profession was the reason the university kick-started one of the country’s first mental health support system for students (that now includes all curses but was created for Med students): The profession is sick. Doctors are suicidal and overworked and unhealthy and tired and dropping dead like freaking flies, and that’s even worse in surgeons. My uncle (also a cardiologist, funnily enough) died at fifty from a heart attack because he worked himself to death. My aunt died from a manageable condition in a minor procedure because she let it go on to long before treating (working). My other aunt has lost many close doctor friends to heart problems. My cousin and another uncle are depressed. My sister almost developed a tachycardia from trying to stay awake using energetics during her residency. My class is all physically sick (I’m writting this from bed) because we’re so overwhelmed with a course that’s not only integral but demands so much, and we’re just students. A doctor in my city died with his son in a car crash that left his daughter severely injured and on the brink of death coming back from the beach in the middle of the night because he was going to be on-call!

(Had to split it in paragraphs bc tumblr) Two doctors under forty-five died from sudden heart failures from being over-worked this year! And that’s just in my city (which is not a big city! At all) ! And being like Cristina (obsessed, power-hungry, sleeping at the hospital, eating basically crap to save time, havingonly one really close friend to the point that when they fought, living at the hospital, feeling like surgery is the only thing that completed her) is a recipe to disaster. You know what the profession also is? Divided. From the society that some consider they are “a gift to” to other health professions that they put themselves on a pedestal away from and everyone else is inferior, and from themselves, students that sabotage each other or refuse to colaborate and thus create teams that don’t work together, doctors that don’t communicate, don’t appreciate each other’s specialties and knowledge and help. Cristina doesn’t meet all that criteria, but some really remind me of her. So it kills me when I hear people say she was the best doctor, because she reminds me of so much that’s just... Wrong, that I see everyday, and it frustrates me. That is incredibly personal, and applying too much of the optics of reality to the show, but it’s my truth, and no matter how iconic the character is, I can’t shake it off.

9 - Jo. Baby girl is so ready to take on the world! I said this in my “Meredith x People” post, but Jo reminds me a lot of Mer! Same fierceness, stubborness, same rough edges, talented, caring, protective. Love her and Camilla’s acting makes her one of the deepest, most fascinating characters, and her storylines tell so many important messages! I just... Don’t have a lot to say about her, now that I’ve come to think about it, I feel like she’s pretty self-explanatory. Loved her-centric eps!

10 - Erica. I didn’t understand then and don’t understand now why the fuck is there so much hatred for her! She stood up for her rights! She didn’t take Cristina’s crap like everyone else (Cristina has her quirks and was bound to meet someone with whom they clashed who wouldn’t stand for it! That happened to be Erica!) She was ethical! She was so sweet with Callie! She was a great doctor! She wanted the hospital to be great and was willing to work for it! I feel like the main factors in it are that back then we were told, through the narrative, that we should and we were all young so we accepted that, and because the actress isn’t one of those bombshell model-likr beauties. Had it been, like, Jessica playing her in a more recent season, I doubt she would be that hated! Anyhow, I miss her.

11 - Addison. She was so great! Maybe not my favorite, but she had great moments and was criminally underrated! Maybe one day her coming back won’t be a delusion and I’ll have more to say here. What I do have to say is that she can be another example of the “show’s mouthpiece”, at least in regards to Derek. Like, we have her come back to Seattle and promptly scream at Mer for “letting Derek go” like he was the best thing in the world (lmao) without even knowing what had happened when... In reality... She literally cheated because she felt neglected and forgotten in their marriage, had a talk to Mer where she learned Derek had hurt her too... It feels cheap and unauthentic and gets in the way of my immersion.

12 - April. I can feel the confusion at why she’s ranking so low, but... April never really spoke to me. She had good moments, she was sweet, a good doctor, had great relationships and went through bad things, but in none of those moments was I standing up on my seat like I was with others. She went through a journey like Arizona’s, to find herself after something terrible instead of to change who she was, but still she’s called “the biggest evolution” by some fans and I just... Don’t see that (maybe it’s because Sarah Drew got even prettier with time so it was a visual evolution). I like her well enough. Lets put it that way: I’d not be at all opposed if she came back into the show, but I’d be also disappointed it wasn’t some other character I love more. I widh he had gotten more of her, actually! I’d probably like her more! I wanted more developed relationships, like with Mer (we could have had it aaaaaaaalllll x3) or Owen (they were in a war zone together and we barely see the aftermath besides a couple scenes with her telling hima bt the baby and at her first wedding), maybe with Riggs and Alex and even more fleshing out of Japril instead of more drama! She’d feel more real and appealing. Plus her whole storyline with taking the position of head of surgery and switching sides after she’d been one of the main advocators for Webber, then refusing to acknowledge she might not have been the nicest for it, kinda threw me off a bit (not a lot, it just felt random? Like, didn’t feel like something she’d do, but I didn’t think I knew enough about her to say it wasn’t, for sure?).

13 - Izzie. Again, she never appealed to me personally. She had amazing moments, but they were just moments. Opening a multi-million dollar beneficiary clinic? Top shelf-good. But she also had bad moments and, more importantly, bad patterns. She judged and judged Mer’s inappropriate relationship, almost got to the point of talking about it around the hospital to get her in trouble, called her a slut basically to her face, and whined about George’s “too fast, not based on anything” relationship... But would not accept to be judged on her own, even more inappropriate (and illegal) and equally rushed relationship. She did not approve when someone made a decision that she would not have made. She berated Meredith’s and Cristina’s close friendship like she was entitled to the same treatment and like she also didn’t have a best friend. I was bored by her most of the times, angry others, and only rarely pleased/happy/empathetic with.

As you can see, I only dislike the very last place, and hate none, so go girls! Hope you liked this!
