i watch aam with my mom and sister (living in mexico, still closeted) and they both immediately started commenting how eva’s on the wrong here. and, it’s been nice that for the entirety of this show, the relationship has been framed as positive and that most of those who are against it are being depicted as obviously in the wrong by the narrative. it is making some people change the way they think about thee things, so i’m very thankful for that
Awww, I love that! That must have been so great to hear. I’m glad for you, anon. 🙂 Maybe…one day…
That’s the vital thing about these kinds of stories. And, why they tend to start off so wholesome and sympathetic. You’d have to be pretty terrible to side with cheater sibling-bullyer Eva on this one, after we, the audience, have seen how sweet and genuine Juliantina are, all the things they’ve had to go through. Actually, as much as we hate watching that kind of stuff, it probably puts even more neutral people in their corner–though there is a fine line to walk before that becomes just a ton of gay pain to lecture straight people on how Tough it is. At the moment, it’s all been pretty well balanced, a lot of sweet moments in there too, we just saw their very first fight, and Val doesn’t get into any more trouble than her stepmom.
have you seen the scenes from todays episode? i dont understand spanish but it obviously didnt go well with eva. why couldnt guille stay with val during the talk as support??
Because drama. He should have been there, there was no reason for him not to be. But man, it turned out to be a good scene without him, right? Damn.
As much as I hated watching it, there’s something pretty awesome to watch basically two of the very main characters going at it and about this topic. It was just nice to see some of Eva’s screentime, which is usually taken up by Alacran and the company, be shifted aside to here, and like, in a natural way, of course Val is a major priority of hers. Ah, obviously I hope it won’t go on for too long but we’re getting the very tropey forbidden rootable love story but with two women. 😀
Omg fuck Eva, she is suuuuch a controlling asshole. She cares more about the family’s appearances than her sister’s happiness. Obvs fuck Lucho too, he’s been a dick from the start. I will say tho that I was nervous about today’s ep but it went better than I expected. There was no violence, which I hope continues. I do wish they’d had Juls and Val talk more about the outing. Juls’ response wasn’t quite what I would’ve wanted to see.
Hmm, how so? Val’s biggest issue is her unwillingness to deal with things. She chooses to hide, whether it’s in alcohol and drugs or pretending everything’s fine between Lucia and Eva or wanting to run away. She’s gotta deal with things.
I did like that despite the awkwardness at the start, they (Val) did calm down enough to acknowledge what’s really bothering her. Man, kid is messed up. Yeah, you’re probably right, Juls is right in that they can’t just run away–well, they kind of literally can, she’s an heiress and Lupe wants to leave too, but it’s more that running away from problems is a hard habit to break. BUT, despite her being right, she could have offered some more support and really, Val should come out on her own terms, especially when Juls was the one saying to hide it from people even though Val did immediately tell Guille.
I understand both of them, Juls isn’t really maybe feeling in a place where she can offer much input on Val’s life and family and of course Val is super scared. I’m just glad they were able to make up that small amount.
