I have steered away from getting invested in ships bc I try to enjoy shows w/o fandom drama but the fact that Danielle & Stef are so low maintenance and don’t need the show’s promotion to hype them up is so refreshing lol. They’ve cultivated a lot of fans by just being super interactive, genuine and fun people who enjoy each other’s company. Shondaland is lucky that they have so much hype for a ship that doesn’t get nearly enough screentime. S4 – give us the content we deserve lol.

Oh, I agree, they’re great and it’s really easy and fun to be their fans because of how engaged they are with the fandom and if the writers were smart they’d capitalize buuut at this point, after seeing so many actresses’ charisma and chemistry squandered, I try to separate it from my investment in the fictional ship. I think in this case it just so worked out that Danielle is super hard-working and engaged on SM and pulled along an admittedly totally willing and compatible Stefania, but the ship could absolutely still go south and this could fizzle out, or vice versa, and that’d be that. I mean, I’m absolutely still gonna lap up whatever content they put out, but still trying to compartmentalize, however successfully.

Just got done watching Station 19 because of your gifs but it’s so dramatic the spoilers didn’t even matter lol. Came back and basically every question I wanted answered you talked about in your tags but one thing idk if I just didn’t see, was why you didn’t like Maya with Jack. I love and want her with Carina. With Jack I’m between indifference and disgust with him but I found Jack to be way more tolerable when he was with Maya. They would for sure be too messy together right now though.

Lol, it is dramatic, isn’t it. Glad my tag essays addressed most of what you wanted to know!

Oh, I just hate Jack in general. Not for any lofty reasons, not because he’s Offensive or Problematic in any particular way, I just don’t like him. I mean, I could give you reasons but it’d be subjective, and as I’ve said, who in S19 (or Grey’s or PP) hasn’t made themselves unlikable at one point or another (except Carina, lol). 

I didn’t want him with Andy either but when the show suddenly threw him and Maya into the same scenes, I was rolling my eyes at the soapy predictability of it all, since it seemed as much to cause drama with Andy as it was to pair off a couple of mains as a m/f couple. I stopped watching when that happened so I didn’t really see how different he was with her, but when I started watching again after they broke up, he was being all snippy and catty so I was like, good riddance.

Hi! Would you happen to know where I could download The Half of It (w/o subs) in 1080p? And also, where do you watch Hockey Girls s2? I was under the impression that it’s a Netflix series so it should have the latest updates but I only saw s1 episodes.

Hmm, for the first question, don’t know.

As for Hockey Girls, it’s not a Netflix produced series. If you can get a Spanish IP, the eps are actually up, 14 onwards (1-13 are season 1) on here, and they do put up English subtitles eventually too: https://www.ccma.cat/tv3/les-de-lhoquei/

And as with Juliantina, All the Lilies has been clipping and subbing the Florena parts quickly:

Also, sorry! I’d written the above and saved this in my drafts soon after I actually got it and then lost it in there until I was looking through them just now for something else.

I only knew about the Dani/Stef live because of the ask you got and I don’t really watch celeb stuff like that but everything sucks and it was there and I’m actually really glad I did. Obviously celebs are people and owe us nothing but it was so nice as a black woman to see two white women speaking so frankly about their unconscious biases/racism and not be all self righteous about it? When they started I was so wary but it was interesting. Just a nice change esp from nonblack celebs.

Oh, yeah! I was nervous about it, people are revealing so much about themselves in these times. When it seemed like they were going to veer away from any discussion in favor of “distraction”, as they had already said before it started, I was actually relieved, but I’m glad when they DID bring it up, it was mostly from a place of understanding why it was happening and, as you said, acknowledging their biases and privilege and what their role was.
