carina x maya – Page 10 – Just another WordPress site

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.

Hi, so I started watching Station 19 due to your gifs and I really like it so far. I realize that I’m probably in the minority, but I liked Jack and Maya when they were together. I didn’t think they would last longer than they did, but for me it made sense that they would have gotten together. Both of them had trauma in their upbringing that each helped the other get through. Maya was taught to keep moving forward no matter the carnage she leaves behind and all that mattered was winning. 1/

And Jack had experienced abandonment throughout his entire life and thus had learned to figure it all out on his own. Maya came in and showed him that he didn’t have to do it on his own and that they were people who had his back. And Jack allowed her to enjoy life and that they were people who wanted to get to know the real her and cared for her. They were what each other needed at the time. However I much prefer her and Carina. 2/

Carina and Maya are good together because Carina isn’t someone Maya has to compete with and possibly hurt. She someone that Maya can enjoy for what it is and close enough to understand the choices Maya makes every day. She doesn’t push and lets Maya decide how fast she wants to take things. which is what she needs. The problem with GA and S19 is that the cast are so incestuous that everyone will inevitably hooks up with each other. Ex. Dean and Vic, Travis and Dixon and Andy and Rob. 3/3

Fair enough, anon, you can like what you like and those reasons do sound good! Jack just rubbed me the wrong way from the start and it never went away, it wasn’t him being problematic or whatever, I just don’t like him much. He does have his moments but for me that’s when it’s something not related to women.

But the Carina and Maya reason does sound good too, lol, one I’ll definitely agree with. Even Maya’s friendship with Andy has suffered because of her competitiveness, Carina offers something so valuable in being an also competent, ambitious professional woman who understands just what Maya’s job and life entail, but being removed enough to not actually be someone Maya feels she has to compete against. Although, like…Maya has to address that. There’s healthy competition and then there’s what her dad instilled in her and is making her think of death as a release from pressure and wrecking her relationships. Who’s to say she won’t think of a reason to compete with Carina anyway, like who’s earning more or gotten the most promotions within a certain amount of time? It’s silly to think like that but that’s what you end up fixating on.

Though of course she is working on it, she seems to have made more progress within the last few eps than she did in the whole show before. Well, the competitiveness was dormant earlier, but clearly it was always lurking and she knew it was and was almost scared of it. And it’s not that the progress is because of Carina, it’s that the writers are writing the two things together, exploring her more, she’s understanding that her way wasn’t working (the “I’m the truck” breakdown), the panic attack. And Carina’s there to support her and also be someone who’ll stand against her “personal relationships only distract” mentality. I’m so curious to see the next ep, Maya with her mom and Carina both. So many threads meeting!

Haha, Maya’s welcome to the Seattle Fire Queers was awesome. I love Bishop and I’m really glad they had her go off on Chief Dixon this episode (though I suspect that’s not going to come without repercussions) and show her goofy side with Vic/Travis. Also, Danielle’s arms … yeah. T-minus 13 days till Carina meets the fam too. These last 3 episodes should be great.

I love that there are three distinctive characters. 🙂 Their own little club. And the Grey Sloan doctors when they visit add like, at least…four more?

Oh, for sure, I’m glad she got to have her cool moment with Dixon but it feels more than ever like her time as captain’s limited, that sooner or later Andy’ll claim what everyone in the station considers her rightful spot.

God, she’s buff! It’s so hot. Ah, yeah, I can’t believe after seeing those BTS pics we had to wait not just past yesterday’s ep but an extra couple of weeks after that. I hope Carina’s in all of them but I have no idea how they’re gonna handle whatever was supposed to happen on Grey’s during this.

OMFG CARINA IS GOING TO MEET MAYA’S MOTHER IN THE EPISODE 314 ??????? IT BECOMES VERY SERIOUS BETWEEN THESE TWO ???❤️❤️❤️???

Yesss! I’ve become interested enough in them to regularly check series updates and was SUPER hyped to see these pics (more at source)!

It looks from the rest of the pics like there’s some kind of lunch set up for the firefighters’ families, so maybe Maya invited her mom? Or just Carina–I wondered if she might not have invited her either but I feel like they’ve moved past that? But the way the ep summary phrases it “Maya’s mother, Katherine, pays Maya a visit”, and the way these look, I wonder if she showed up uninvited and Carina’s trying to defuse the situation.

I’m curious about the situation between them! Because her mom let her be abused, but is also an abuse victim herself. So like…how do you navigate that? But Maya seems to still be talking to her dad and on “good” terms with him (because so far she keeps meeting his expectations), so I can’t think she’d kick her mom out of her life but not her dad. I’ve missed so much of the show I don’t know if Maya’s mom is still even with her dad, maybe she left or is about to and Maya resents that.

Or it could all be unrelated to that, lol.

Wait, what scene in the captain’s office on Station 19 do you mean? ? Btw thanks for all the gifs for the various fandom, you’re great!

Thanks! Tthe scene in the captain’s office comes from the live with Danielle and Sfefania from the Thursday when the vacation ep aired and there was a question about favorite scenes together and at first they were like, they’re all great, and that the bed scenes were cozy to shoot, but then Danielle said that she’s really excited to see a scene in the captain’s office that hasn’t aired yet. No guarantee it’ll be a positive scene, of course, it could be another fight but they both seemed hyped about it.

I started laughing about what you said about watching and the stopping for a bit when Maya and Jack became a thing because name ??? for real though, even if my hopes for Maya and carina are low as hell, I hope they stop yanking Maya around like a plot device for whatever story they want to do with Andy.. it’s not doing either of them Justice and it’s wrecking a pretty nice friendship…

Lol, yeah, as soon as Maya started casually showing up in Jack’s scenes, I was like, nope. I hoped they wouldn’t go there because of that ep where Ryan helped with her brother (and god, their dad did a number on them) and I’d been afraid THAT might have been a thing and of course it wasn’t, but no such luck this time. I would have preferred Ryan, tbh, I just dislike Jack in general, for both of them. I like Andy with Ryan and I actually like her a lot with Sullivan, it’s not hating m/f in general. But Jack…like, so many deaths and he’s still alive? Okay. >_>

And right! Maya’s plots are often not so much about her as they are her doing something to Andy. Now this new thing, which AGAIN, Andy might be mad at Maya about. You can just make it a solid relationship, show, there doesn’t have to be this drama. Although I guess that’s literally not true for them, as long as it’s on screen, there has to be drama attached. Which applies to all serialized media to some extent but this franchise takes it to an extreme.

It’s our luck that the one independent thing Maya had, with Carina, might not even shown to its fullest this season. It looked like DeLuca’s storyline was picking up at the end of the Grey’s finale, which was originally just a regular ep but had to be made into the finale because their taping was cut short. And we also know that since they want to pick up where they left off next season, they’ve edited out any parts from S19 that reference what would have happened in the rest of the Grey’s season. I’m just guessing but some of that might have been related to Carina and her brother. Maybe Teddy and her cheating, but I can’t imagine the S19 people care tons about that. I just hope we still get that scene in the captain’s office.
