MARELLA'S 12TH TUMBLR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION special gifset for @crowley-anthony 🎁

We'll be okay. We found each other again before, hundreds of times. We can do it again.

I’ve been reading a LOT of Addek fanfiction and the topic of Derek’s death isn’t discussed enough

like that was her person for what 16 years and i know like really he and Meredith are like soulmates but Addison was married to him longer than Meredith even knew him

I think that the reaction of Derek’s death (especially since she already loss Mark) shoulda been something we saw in the show and it upsets me that it’s not explored enough

ALSO FINISH YOUR FANFICS

so i came across your addek sad baby theory post and can you talk about what you were referring to when you said “bc there is just so much stuff in the early seasons that could be interpreted as foreshadowing or implying things”? because i love this theory but as a first time watcher i didn’t pick up on anything myself

yes. i’m also a first time watcher (slowly trudging my way through season 13) i just spend way too much time thinking about the dynamics in those first three seasons. off the top of my head, i think there was a ton of subtext in their scenes together on addison’s first case in seattle (the ttts case she flew in for). there scenes in the NICU especially. when they’re talking about the baby and addison is all like “she just needs someone to fight for her” and it’s all emotionally charged. i don’t remember the exact dialogue but i remember it was clearly like they were talking about two things at once. and sure, it could be interpreted as addison pushing for fighting for their marriage, but i think that would be a weird metaphor for it. i think derek also says something along the lines of “don’t get too attached” or something iirc. and then later in season two when meredith is thinking about her father and she asks derek if his and addison’s marriage would have turned out differently if they’d had kids. there’s a very interesting expression on his face and a weight to his words. there might be more, but those are the examples that stick in my mind. plus the fact that they both clearly want children (bc they both end up having them) and they were married for over a decade but never had any. i think there was definitely a reshuffling of their backstory when they decided kate was gonna be in more episodes and then there was another reshuffling when they decided to give her a spin off.
