Ohhh, I see. That’s disappointing indeed. i do get that these are shows under their own showrunners and networks don’t really control decisions at this level, but still, considering the positive exposure and media praise they were getting for multiple ships last year, pretty sad.
Sylvanas is canonically het, but it’s swell that you can interpret videos in a way that works for queer shipping. Gives lots of ideas.
Canonically het so far. 😛 We’ll see!
I mean…she’s a bad guy, right, so no true expectations no matter what, but I’ve jussst dipped my toe in the Sylvania fic anyway. There are so many arranged marriage AUs, I couldn’t resist.
They are called Clara and Maria José or Majo and i’m generally flabbergasted at the audacity of Televisa doing this knowing how vocal and great Juliantinas were, i know this always happens but still this is where we should channel our anger instead of against our own who try with all they have to give us what big studios don’t. I think Mexican fans could tell it was a disaster that’s why they didn’t try to promote it.
Hmm, yeah, I see a few clips for them but nothing in English but what exactly is happening that’s so bad?
To take you away a bit from the Happiest season mess, did you hear about the new “ship” from Televisa? I put it in brackets cause damn i’m disappointed i thought the network has learned from Juliantina and will only progress from there, i guess i was wrong.
Thank you for the distraction? Heh, but tbh, I’d actually welcome external homophobia at this point instead of our own community.
And no, I hadn’t heard of anything! That’s really disappointing because exactly, all the things Juliantina did and achieved and this? Aside from it just being mean to do poor rep? But what are the details exactly? And we do have to remember (look at things in the US community right now…) that these things do tend to advance and then go back a step and so on, the end result still being forward prorgress.
Remember this cool ass cover?

I read the available preview and liked it enough to once again chance an ARC request and got approved!
While there is a part of me going hmm at this North African-inspired fantasy also having white colonialism run rampant, I’m assuming (and hoping!) that breaking free of that will be the triumphant endgame, so really looking forward to it. Aside from just how incredibly hot the lead looks above, lol.
