God, one thing LGBT stories everywhere–whether they’re from countries new to them or…a bit less new–need to learn to do is treat outing like the horrible thing it is. It isn’t some sharing of a juicy secret.
Cheating is bad, everyone knows that. A lot of people don’t seem to get that outing is terrible! Shows will still do it for the drama, fine, but condemn it within the narrative.
For what it’s worth, anyone who’s commented on it that I’ve seen has said they hear the mi amor first up. But as much as I try to LaurelYanny myself into trying to hear the perdon at first, the first couple of times always seem like mi amor.
Is it wishful thinking? Even perdon is so sweet in this context, she was the one who was attacked but after she takes like a split second to collect herself (and then jumping to lock the door–a frighteningly real little detail), she’s just thinking of Juls? That’s pretty great either way.
I did get an ask about that and to my super untrained ear it does sound like she says it! On the one hand, I’m not sure if she’d say that in those particular circumstances but on the other hand, is there anything swoonworthy Valentina Carvajal hasn’t said yet? And she is super focused on Juliana’s safety, her first thought when she sees Lucho is Juls and then she literally tries to block Juls from him (who is just as eager to get at Lucho to hopefully claw his face off, lol) and then she apologized to Juls after it all. So.
Headphones on, gun to my head…I think she says mi amor at first, and then possibly perdon after. I dunno, I dunno. Go with your gut! Don’t play to the masses!
She got mad when he pretended to be sympathetic about her mom’s “death” and asked how it happened, since she knew he was responsible. She’s so protective of her mom. Which, given she’s literally the only person Juls has, and perhaps has ever had, yeah, as you said, it makes sense.
This thing with Val must be blowing her mind, especially who and what Val is. Oh, I did actually love her jumping in yesterday when Lucho attacked and then shouting at him to leave.
Loved that get outta here gesture.
But I dunno how much of confident/feisty Juls we’ll see again anytime soon. That move with Val re: the drinking kinda backfired. That’s probably the thing I hate most about the fight, what it’s going to do to Juls’s insecurities. Like yeah, she started off unsure but twice now, she’s said, hey, maybe we should take a break, and both times Val has very awesomely been like no way, this is the best thing in my life. But that last time, when bringing up the drinking and then throwing out wanting to leave…when has Val ever agreed about letting Juls go easily? Playfully and sometimes quite seriously, she constantly asks for Juls to stay, including that very morning. So I feel Juls is going to be on the back foot a bit now. 😡
Haha, I legit was like, what weird slang are you using until I realized kitchen. She really is. I think that these last couple of eps have at least put paid to concerns after the morning after that there might be any second thoughts or regrets. They were about to go for round two.
