Oh, huh, that’s true. I guess I thought Elementary took up her time, but yeah, no, there were quite a few years between. And she did well, relatively! It’s been pretty sad to see, both Krusiec and Lynn Chen on Twitter and other places have remarked on not getting the roles after Saving Face they’d expected and now it’s 15 years later and they’ve kind of aged out of those opportunities altogether. It’s getting a little better now, of course, but things with non-white leads are still very much the exception and are defined by it.
You know if there’s video clips of the scenes of motherland fort Salem? I don’t have free from where I live but I want to see the girls

godddd terminator dark fate was a whole separate level of gay. they’d written the dynamic between grace and dani so beautifully that if they did end up making them a couple it would have been a great wlw storyline! it was such a sucker punch when they reveal the whole motherly thing? like WHAT? i was so sure that they’d imply that dani and grace were lovers or at least super close bbfs – that still would have been better than the mentor stuff. even my Heterosexual™ mother thought they were gay.
I knowwww. It could have been this really cool intentional embrace of the romance, taking the original Sarah/Reese savior/protector roles and adding this element of like, timeline-shifting for each other, which is literally what it was! These two women just kept on trying to change time to save each other. That’s what the movie was! But in keeping it a mystery and then this VERY half-baked “you raised me” line while at the same time, Grace’s behavior toward her being like a dedicated solider/acolyte, it just confused everything. They spend too much time trying to both make it vague as well as try to show what it wasn’t.
It coulda been this genre-busting timeloop-breaking new movie, still taking core elements from the first two while adding this new thing to justify the third one and make it stand on its own. And your mom wasn’t wrong, the romantic elements were there, even with scenes cut out and deleted. It was all right there…
might only be new to me tho lol but i was watching the storm episode, and just now noticed how when everyone is panicking, specially Vera, it’s Marcela trying to get her to stay calm, and then she puts her hand on Vera’s thigh and there’s this look Vera gives like… idk what but she certainly noticed. And then tried to be calm while talking to the old guy. I think that’s the actual first 100% certain clue that they were going for romance but I only NOW noticed it! that entire ep is THE shift
Oh, that moment! I didn’t pick up on it at either, but other people saw it and pointed it out. Honestly, I don’t know that I’d have realized they meant to go somewhere from that one little look, y’all are way more prescient than me.
Hi, just wanted to say, the scene in the airplane (terminator dark fade) the where totally flirting omg are you kidding. In my mind they’re lesbian!!!
Ahhh, yes, the Airplane scene, such an important part of Dani/Grace canon. I mean, I wouldn’t call it flirting so much as Grace pledging her whole damn life and love to Dani. I don’t know if they’re specifically lesbians but in my mind they’re always either in love or falling in love.
So… I know you rarely stay long in one fandom, but… how over desenfrenadas are you? Because I’ve been rewatching and noticed something for the first time AND… you know how it goes, I’m awash with gush needs D: Also, new follower. Also, that tag is how I found you!
I’m not over it at ALL. I’m still listening to Cuando as my giffing song. When Coty posted this just a couple of days ago, I was like, this is their family now :’)
If you noticed something new, please, I want to hear it!
You know that gifset of Maya checking out Carina in the bikini is funny and cute but what makes it is how believable the actress that pays Maya’s expressions are. Idk if she’s gay/bi irl but sometimes I get so turned off wlw ships because the actresses are so obviously not into it. They do that oldtimey mash mouth kiss or look so deadeyed in any romantic scenes. It’s like, relax. we all know you’re straight! Just do your job (acting) well! Idk I noticed it lately in some CW shows, it’s annoying
Heh, what is it about this scene that prompts this kind of ask?
I do very much appreciate their chemistry and the intensity and believability Danielle Savre brings to the role, but I don’t think I’ve personally noticed what you’re talking about when it comes to actresses visibly not into it. So many different factors are at play, what kind of show it is and who it’s targeted at, what stage the relationship’s at, what life stage the character’s at, and then if there’s certain attention being paid to not come across as male gazey or salacious or just network pressure to tone things down and so on.
Yeah, of course there are actors who might be stiffer and awkward with female costars while offering a much smoother, more enthusiastic point of comparison with male characters but I don’t really notice it much, or look for it, I guess. It requires so much reading into motivation, I’m usually like, oh, there must’ve been a reason, and shrugging.
So I’m deeply crushing on Hannah John Kamen, as one does ? I’ve seen a couple of your gif sets of her from The Stranger, but I’ve heard she really isn’t in it very much. Are there any scenes of hers that you haven’t gif’d yet?
As one should. Oh, hmm, well, yeah, she isn’t in it as much as the lead, Richard Armitage, and I can understand someone saying she isn’t in it much, relatively, but there’s way more of her than I’ve giffed, especially ep 5. She’s not in just a couple of scenes, she’s sprinkled throughout.
THANK YOU for posting maya ive been trying to find her for the longest. I saw the gifs with her at the pool with like 21 000 notes and I was immediately ???interested lmao. That show has many, many gorgeous women (also vic? WASTED lesbian potential ugh) but maya is my fave. Also that uniform? It WORKS. eso when they just have the pants and t-shirt. I feel like I’m living in golden age of hot gay women on TV feeling #blessed lol
Heh, yeah, that clip was super fun! It had everything.
I wouldn’t say many women, most of the time it’s three? Barring guest stars, it’s mostly just Andy, Maya, and Vic. Who is, yes, totally wasted potential. Actually, I have a friend who ships her and Maggie from Grey’s but I guess it’s just gonna be Jackson in the middle for now. But never say never, with this show/franchise, considering Teddy.
The uniforms are a special bonus, especially when there are like three different versions of them. And the t-shirt and pants version definitely shows them off well. 3×06 was a Maya showcase in that particular outfit.
