I am! I don’t know if she’ll be back but I don’t think you can trust IMDB right now, everyone’s ep counts seem off and the promos were so lacking in any kind of relationship drama, again, those aren’t signs. It wouldn’t surprise me if she appeared for a few scenes but I also wouldn’t be surprised if she was gone.
Yeeaaahhhhhh, but when Rachel was singing that song, she WAS NOT singing it to Finn and ONLY Finn.
Lol, that Quinn even ASKED. That was honestly such a “there is no platonic explanation for this” moment I literally use Finn and only Finn as shorthand for a scene where it’s really hard to understand where the writers were going if it wasn’t meant to be kinda gay. Like the Ocean’s 8 diner scene. Or the framing of the balcony scene when Cat confronted Kara about being Supergirl. Or the J/7 kneel.
But anyway, Faberry! Good times, anon, good times.
holy shit did you used to analyze faberry too
Lol, I don’t consider what I do now as analyzing anything, I just gif and answer questions–oh, wait, I already said I was an analyzer, not a creator, right. I’m not an analyzer, I’m a regurgitator. That’s better. 😛 But whatever it is I do, I did a lot less then. Tbh, I did a lot less of everything before. I used to get like 2 asks a month before this, did you know. Heh. But yeah, Faberry was my first tumblr fandom so it was just a bunch of terrible gifs. Another Tumblr Glee cliche. 🙂
And another anon:
you’re right, I’ll blacklist. it’s just, seeing people go through great lengths to tear someone down gets to you. especially since they claim to love barb. I miss soft juliantina and people freaking out in the tags about AAM. it’s starting to take a weird turn, a lesson I should’ve learned from glee and the 100. I guess seeing it unfold in real time like this when the tag used to be all kinds of fun is the worst part. i’m sorry for venting in your messages.
Yeah, it’s sad to see it happening but it’s not just f/f fandom or even just fandom. It’s…boredom, tbh. People want to hang onto an experience, some channeling that into deeper destructive places and creating causes and issues to be united behind. That could happen in anything, fandom, sports, politics. And then focus back onto fandom, there are those who create their own versions of actors–well, that’s probably true of everything else as well, huh. But yeah, people then have a hard time reconciling what they’ve been thinking with what they’re seeing.
We were fed unbelievably well for a while there but now that that new content is gone and as you said, it is a bit inevitable. The tag slows down, the posts you don’t like start to become harder to avoid because there’s less to drown them out. Hopefully with some time and maybe some fandom events, the tags can be replenished with the good stuff.
Lol, I was going to ignore your sorry at the end or say obviously you didn’t need to add it but since you reignited this little convo in my inbox and invited the next response, I am going to hold you a bit responsible. 😛
And another anon:
I hope everyone who hates Gonzalo also hates Cami//a Cabe//o for using the N word, but in reality 95% of the lgbtq community still stans her racist ass. If you’re gonna use something someone said in the past against them then at least be consistent about it. But literally the rest of the world knows the real reason they’re hating on Gonzalo, you can see it just by reading the hate they send him and things they say to Barbi about him, they’re just jealous and need to stop being hypocrites.
I was unsure about whether or not to respond to and thus publish this, anon. As much as I want to maintain a positive tone here, I do see the merit in what you’re saying. Did it need to be said? Maybe. Did it need to be said here? I don’t really know.
I am not nor do I want to be any kind of fandom voice or arbiter. There’s a difference between people saying something to me and saying something to what they imagine are my legions of followers through me. And in cases like this, I don’t particularly want to take the time and energy to navigate between all the issues here: yes, fandom can be hypocritical, yes, let people grow from mistakes, but also, no, you don’t have to forgive or like people who said bigoted things. There are people who dislike both of them, and have valid reason in doing so? Although obviously how they handle it is important and as you said, it’s not the reason for some people.
I don’t know, anon, maybe you were frustrated and wanted some commiseration. Maybe you saw me posting about it earlier and fired off a quick ask to impart some knowledge. But honestly, as much as I somehow feel like I have to respond to these (and pass over far nicer asks while doing so) because I feel shallow and irresponsible if I don’t, I don’t really care much about this topic or have much to say. If you have strong opinions you want to share, feel free to make your own post. You’ll reach as large an audience by posting in the tag as by sending this to me.
I really can’t take all of the Gonzo talk in the Juliantina tag. why are people so absolutely obsessed with tearing the significant others down. get your own lives and you won’t have to worry about who Barb dates.
Well, hopefully it’ll die down, anon. I imagine people don’t see it that way, they think it’s…a service? Them helping people, spreading…awareness? I don’t know. You could blacklist? Again, though, I don’t see it going on for much longer, it’s just because it all happened yesterday.
First, I have nothing against Santi but I just think that Gonzalo should’ve won.
Sure, that’s fair enough.
Well, may as well tackle the rest.
And another anon:
gdhdj i admit, while voting i thought to myself “barb’s bf or maca’s bro..” and ended up just skipping it haha.. but since he’s the only one who didn’t win it feels a little awkward now
It does, it stands out now. It wasn’t our job to win for Gonzalo but since we managed to win for everyone else, well. Still…what can ya do. I suppose it’s possible that Santiago’s fanbase was strong enough to overcome whatever votes our fandom threw in for Gonzalo.
And another anon:
i’m really really happy about the awards even though i haven’t slept at all lol. we’re the best. aren’t we? but i… i feel bad for gonza :/ i voted for him and was kinda positive he was gonna win, and i have this uneasy feeling i can’t quite get rid of :<
We are, anon, we are the best. Sleep deprived but the best. I get you, I mostly threw my votes his way as well, since I was in fact just voting AAM down the sheet but I would hope that nobody takes it too badly. Maca did actually ask the fandom to vote for her brother so as people were scrolling down that would have been an understandable reason in picking Santiago and well, it’s Maca’s brother, not AAM’s sworn enemy.
And another anon:
I don’t know how I feel about Gonzo; he’s so different to his character in the sense that Guille looks so soft and puppy like, yet with his tats and shades, he looks rougher around the edges, and his outfit to the award show did seem really funny when compared to the classiness of all the dresses. But hey, I’m glad Maca, Barbie and he all got to work together. Maybe he is a softy in his own way, to say he and Barbara have been together for so long, and I’m glad they’re both happy together.
Doesn’t everyone have tats nowadays, I don’t think that makes you rough around the edges. 😛 His Captain Haddock look was definitely more casual but I didn’t really notice until somebody else pointed it out, lol.
Anon, you don’t need to have an opinion or feelings on him at all, actually. Beyond the common courtesy and respect you’d afford for every person and in this case for being someone Barbara likes–Barbara who we all like–it doesn’t have to be a big thing. You can be neutral on people. I personally find it easier in life to have a generally more laid back outlook, it just helps everything in the long run, but you don’t have to force yourself to like someone. Just, I don’t really see the point of actively disliking him here because that’s just going to sour the experience? So I think you have the right idea, we don’t know anything about them or their lives so, good for whatever makes them happy, and that’s that.
And another anon:
do you think santiago is aware of the support he gets from his sister / juliantinas?
I would think she told him, yes.
And another anon:
from what i’ve seen gonzalo is not known in mexico really in terms of acting, he is only recognized as the guy from the trivago commercial so he really doesnt have a fanbase at all
I don’t know about that, I think any young good-looking dude probably has some fans, lol.
And another anon:
actually Santiago and that chic who was Bárbara’s biggest competitor are from the same novela and the girl had a huuuuge fan base so i think he would’ve won either way
Well, if she has the huge fanbase why would he…well, if he caught some of the spillover? Yeah, I can see that. It’s what happened for AAM, after all.
And another anon:
Santiago has a pretty good fanbase because his novela is a teen oriented one but the juliantina’s ended up voting a lot for him because he is Maca’s brother and he is a pretty sweet guy, some even voted for another actor that is from the same novela as Santiago and is also his friend and was competing in the same category because the dude asked people to vote for Barbara
Heh, fair enough. I’m still mostly just surprised the guy from the m/m couple didn’t win it so I don’t really know what happened in this category.
And another anon AND FINAL:
Everyone is saying how petty this is, all I can think of is Santiago Achaga has his sister’s eyes!! And I couldn’t just pass them and not vote! I have been conditioned to love them unconditionally, sorry
Hahahaha, at least you were honest, anon. Probably the best justification yet.
The international fandom should try to make Netflix to buy season 1. Those who had Netflix I mean. Don’t you think?
I think anyone can actually go to https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest and ask for it and
I think those that have actual Netflix memberships can start a support chat while logged in and then request it? But I believe the issue here is that Televisa has its own streaming network so isn’t fully prepared to put its media on Netflix? I think it’s somewhat hazy.
But it really can’t hurt to try, I think this whole Juliantina experience has kind of…debunked that whole cynical “don’t put so much effort in, that’s embarrassing” attitude? People don’t do things for looking desperate and then when nothing happens, they say, see, we were right, but here, people are trending for clips, creating petitions for spinoffs, voting super hard for awards, and even if they don’t all necessarily pay off, those actions are noticed and valued.
So yeah, above link to request a title and if you’re logged in, you can mention it in a support request. I think if people want to trend or try another approach, somebody else would be better in arranging that.
Who got their award first, Maca or Barbara?
Barbara. Which was good for our collective nerves, lol, since that one was by far the most hotly contested and keeping us under suspense. It was fairly early on, I think Beltran’s actor won and then a flurry of awards for categories that didn’t apply to us, then some song performances, including Carlos Rivera performing the AAM theme song which was really nice, both for being our theme but also because it’s a great song and the audience seemed to agree, a lot of people even from other shows singing along, and then he actually won for it, which made 2/2 and then Barbara.
When Maca’s category did come up, there was some sudden last minute tension in the fandom because gays always prepare for the worst, “what if we win everything except the most assured category” but she was obviously fine. Even Barbara was already recording her, ready for the win. ^_^
I started watching proven innocent after seeing trailers and i thought it just looked interesting, but now i’m much more into it cause HOLY CRAP OUR GIRL IN BI AND CANON
I know! I actually really like her character already, I mean, yeah, she’s gorgeous and that hair, but she’s good, she’s just…good. I was already happy with ep four when she was like, uh, this is clear bigotry because this woman is Muslim and they’re making a pro-life example out of her and I won’t stand for it. Uh, sold! I hear criticism of the show for not being complex enough but like, I would much rather it be this earnest and well-intentioned when dealing with this subject matter than some “nuanced” gray area take that really just refuses to commit to any side.
But also, she kissed a lady!
Juliantina won against ar*stemo on best kiss! :D:D All we do is win win win!!!!!!!!!! www*lasestrellas*tv/espectaculos-1/tus-estrellas-1/juliantina-gana-votacion-mejor-beso-aristemo
Oh, lol, HERE’s the original HQ clip of what that earlier anon wanted.
Yes, we won, by a LOT. I think we maaaay have to give up the Eres best kiss, although I think people are continuing to vote even now but we thumped them in the Televisa one. We started off losing marginally and I think people expected us to get the same result as the last time we went head to head on a Televisa poll, when the fandom was still a lot younger, but boy, did we come back strong, AND not to mention the 15 awards last night.
