MAYA & CARINA | Station 19

[mayabishopgold]

Hello friend! formally asking if you can make a series about those Maya/Andy moments that could be read as "shippable". I feel like the show danced around them probably having feelings for each other, or at least Maya having feelings for Andy at some point down the line before they changed showrunners.

Hello! Done! Of course my queued post went live before I got a chance to answer your ask.

I do think it was something the original showrunner wanted to leave open as a possible direction. They even told Danielle to keep the same energy she had when she auditioned for Maya thinking Andy was a man, so that’s always a fun alternate universe to think about… even if I can’t stand Andy.

This first gifset is actually super fun because the show implies she's talking to Ryan and but then Maya shows up...

can you gif more carina on grey's? I loved her in season 14 she was so funny. And she had great chemistry with arizona.

I must be in the minority here because I never particularly liked Carina on Grey’s Anatomy. I only learned to love her once she moved to Station 19. I never found the whole “orgasm doctor” shtick that funny because it felt like that was pretty much her entire personality. It wasn’t until Vincenzo entered the picture that we got a tiny glimpse of what her inner life and backstory could have been. Not that they seemed particularly interested in exploring it.

Been trying to gif more of her on Grey’s lately and while it’s not something I enjoy all that much, there’s definitely more coming! 🙂

I Love Stefania but it’s crazy how she really thought of the best way to get the most amount of money for the least amount of work. A zoom call instead of a podcast, really? I don’t care about Danielle or her podcast but at least she’s doing something for anyone who feels like watching. Maybe this is just me venting for not having enough money to pay for that zoom call.

Like I said before, I’ve got to respect the hustle. Stefania’s approach is about selling access/exclusivity while Danielle’s is more about selling a sense of closeness. Now that I see it, I can’t really unsee it.

At the end of the day, I assume everyone involved is an adult making informed financial decisions.

If you don’t mind me asking which app do you use for gifs editing and is it on laptop or phone? I tried many times even with the good quality video but as soon as it turns into gif it’s blurry af 😭

I only use Photoshop on laptop! If you want, feel free to DM me and I can try to help you out.

Do you read Marina fictions? If yes then which one is your favourite and would you recommend reading any?

I haven’t read fanfics in a while, used to read a lot more when the show was airing and there were a lot more active writers around.

There are tons more, but off the top of my head:

When the Dust Settles by GhostAtMidnight

From the beginning by ladstars

Seasons by silkbonnet

Where's The Love You Saved? by CKillian

From The Ashes by wrackwonder

Maya Bishop | Station 19 - 1x06 "Stronger Together"

Do you have any favourite season to make gifs for or are all good to make?

I think it mostly comes down to the seasons I enjoy the most in general. For example, right now, I'm enjoying giffing Seasons 1 and 2 again and it was kind of boring to revisit Seasons 5 and 7.

[mayabishopgold]

Your gifs are so beautiful and the quality is amazing. How do you make them

Thank you! 🫶

Just do some coloring. It’s really all about the quality of the source material. My advice would be to get really good scenepacks/episode downloads because that’s what makes the biggest difference.

What was your favourite season, scene and why? And if you could add more to the show what would you add?

Seasons 3 and 6. I’m a Maya girl through and through, so the storylines that stand out the most to me are the ones that explored her childhood trauma and abuse, as well as her breaking point and mental health struggles. My favorite scene tends to change all the time, but it will always be a Maya scene from those seasons. Right now, I’d probably say either Maya with her 3 year old self or the hair cutting scene.

I used to say the first two seasons were my least favorites, but I’ve done a 180 on them. Have come to appreciate how much the Station felt like a family back then. After that, the show shifted more toward individual character stories, and even when they tried to bring back that sense of community toward the end, it never quite felt the same or as natural.

So if there’s one thing I would add, it’s the family aspect, but with Maya being part of that family. One of my biggest pet peeves with the show is how often she was left out or kept on the outside, even when the Station was supposed to be her home. I would have loved to see her included more and have those relationships explored.

Have you heard that at the last con Jaina was asked which character she’d like to play if she weren’t Andy and she said Carina so her job would just be showing up at the station and kissing her girlfriend? 💀that explains so much

Imagine spending seven seasons playing Maya Bishop's best friend and never getting the chance to kiss her. I would go insane.

Imo Danielle’s merch is not that expensive itself it’s mostly because of shipment from around the world second her patreon is also cheap but with Stef she have kept everything expensive her book which is stupid idea to because all her pics are available on social media other just maybe two or three lol and now her zoom call is also on expensive and you can’t even talk like come on 😭

I honestly can’t comment on this one because I wouldn’t pay for any of this stuff anyway
