Please excuse me if thought you were the one who thought Juls and vale were straight. Must have been someone else. Their gaydar must be working wrong as I started (almost ) from the beginning aswell, and let me tell you: nothing they did was straight. I get cultural context, but my gaydar is finely tuned and those girls were gay for each other from the start :)

No worries, buddy. I have no actual gaydar so I just go with the story. Or assuming/hoping everyone is not straight, that works too. 😛

I started watching the full show and honestly! the tension between Lucia and Eva! is wild! ??? so distracting hah

Yes! And this isn’t even a case where we’ll ship literally any two women in a frame. They took these two women of a similar age and power and gave them a specific dynamic around a person.

But then reinforced the strength of that particular dynamic even outside of that person.

And then took that person away. So we ended up getting so many scenes where these two women, played by really talented, gorgeous actresses, just kept on sparking off each other.

And it’s such a specific kind of back and forth, where the plot relies on their enmity and feeds on it. The moment they see or even hear each other, you can feel the hackles going up. The energy in the room changes.

I will say, though, that I wish they’d made up before the end. If there’s a season 2, I can’t see what it would be if not about Lucia’s transmigration, and then while she and Leon will be a major thing, her making up with Eva would be the natural step for both.

you should read a web serial called Charon Docks At Daylight on fictionpress. it’s a zombie apocalypse story and a lot of it is about the developing relationship between two girls, it is v angsty but SO GOOD

Okay, see, this is why I needed to consolidate my to-read list in one place because I DID actually have this recommended to me before at some point and I added it to one of my lists and then just…I don’t know what happened. Let me specifically add it now to goodreads. Woohoo, done!

For anyone else who wants to check it out, it’s actually free: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3095130/1/Charon-Docks-At-Daylight

Summary:

It’s six years after an infection turned a majority of the population into ferocious, zombie-like creatures that hunt during the day, forcing the living into a nocturnal state of existence. Survival is a continuous struggle when it’s hide or fight, and the creatures aren’t the only threat in a wasted America. Sometimes fighting is the only answer.

Hah, I do not mind that all. 

Thanks for the Priory of the Orange Tree rec. I just finished it and really enjoyed it! It was so good! If you have any similar recs, I’d love to hear them.

I’m glad you liked it! Welcome to the club. Because, uh, heh, we’re all stuck trying to find something that good and f/f that sucks us in and I don’t really think there’s anything similar. Personally, I went into A Memory Called Empire, but that’s scifi and the romance isn’t as epic. Anything I’ve read or liked recently is in my books tag, you can get an idea of what I’ve been reading or looking into from there.

That was a great Juliantina post! I was following you from December last year, and I remember you commented that you thought Juliana and Valentina were straight? It’s there in your history, but there’s so much stuff (thank you, btw) that i can’t link it. Comments?

Thanks! 

I said that? I don’t remember saying that… In what context, that I thought they were acted like straight girls? I definitely don’t remember saying that, or do you mean I thought they were straight characters at first? Considering I started watching for them, I don’t think I said that either…? Are you sure it was me?
