Yoooo…. I went through your juliantina tag from the very beginning and let me just say that I’m so glad you were convinced to check them out. This fandom is so lucky to have you. Your gifsets are ?, your tags are funny and smart, you are so respectful to a culture that you’re not part of by learning the context of things, and your responses to the ‘top discourse’ are so funny. Keep on being awesome, dear. :)

Whoa, that’s a LOT of posts and a lot of reading. Lol, me being convinced to check them out. The start of it all. Can you imagine if I hadn’t? I might not have had Juliantina OR MarVera. But I’d like to think both would have popped up on my radar eventually.

And, aw, thank you so much! Wow, you really did read through them all, I’d half forgotten some of this stuff. The ole top discourse… I think we all know now who it’d be. >_> And  oh, yesterday (or a few hours ago) was the anniversary of the TVyNovelas awards! I still don’t know why they decided to actually allow the polls to decide the winners but I’ll always love that they did and let AAM carry home every award we wanted.

I can’t get over the bit in the last ep of desenfrenadas were it cuts from vera and marcela’s confrontation outside the club straight to that like soap opera on tv where the lady’s saying “I gave you my heart, and you crushed it,” like the blatant parallel… exquisite

Omg, right?? God, ep 10 was just so good, from start to end. I was so pleased when I realized what they were doing, Marcela and Vera’s argument and then you cut to this soapy melodramatic treatment of star-crossed lovers, reinforcing how MarVera are supposed to be seen similarly. So deliberate and effective.

Love your gif of the strip performance! The reaction of the trio. Vera in awe, Rocio with a what I’m doing here face and also what are we going to do, Carlota being the fluffiest most supportive and adorable and of course Marcela shocked face! This scene was brillant!

Ah, thanks! My favorite scene. ;_;

Lol, yeah, that’s perfect for Ro and Carly, but you know, thinking back on Vera, she was such a mixture of so many things. Because later on when they’re waiting outside, she points out how she was yelling at Marcela while Marcela had to work there, understanding how bad that was, so I think there was definitely awe and some straight up thirst, but also some guilt and resolve, like, “I’m gonna get her out of here.” 

Man, I just didn’t expect that scene, even though the ep was inevitably building to it, I thought the point had been their reunion across the street, which I already loved, seeing how they both ended up there. But then! The music and the recognition, the one-sided recognition! And then Marcela finally looking at them! And the knowledge of the confusing, messy place Vera and Marcela were in and the inability of anyone to react in any real way. It was…masterful.
