might only be new to me tho lol but i was watching the storm episode, and just now noticed how when everyone is panicking, specially Vera, it’s Marcela trying to get her to stay calm, and then she puts her hand on Vera’s thigh and there’s this look Vera gives like… idk what but she certainly noticed. And then tried to be calm while talking to the old guy. I think that’s the actual first 100% certain clue that they were going for romance but I only NOW noticed it! that entire ep is THE shift
Oh, that moment! I didn’t pick up on it at either, but other people saw it and pointed it out. Honestly, I don’t know that I’d have realized they meant to go somewhere from that one little look, y’all are way more prescient than me.
In Chapter 6, when Vera asks Marcela if Joshua was her first boyfriend and Marce replies that she only used him to fuck, Vera’s expression changes before asking if she has fucked many men. I wonder if she felt any jealousy? Or maybe I’m being dumb and Vera was just genuinely interested in that…
Hmm, it does change quite visibly, but I think my first reading of it was that she was thinking about her own relationship with guys, which was pretty terrible (for understandable reasons).
It looks like she’s turning her thoughts inwards, you know? And especially since Marcela isn’t even talking about the depth of her feelings for Joshua, instead highlighting the physical aspect. While Vera seems to be thinking over how she doesn’t seem to enjoy the physical side at all.
But later on, when she asked about him in ep 7, “How’s it going with, what’s his name, Joshua?” I think then there might have been a little something. And then definitely in ep 10 at the hotel room when Carly tried to make her laugh about Joshua bringing Marcela to that room and instead just ended up making Vera really jealous. Also later on in the same ep when they were outside and Carly called him handsome and Vera was so irritated and immediately went no, mames.
Talking about marvera this and that but PLEASE TALK ABOUT VERA’S FACE WHEN MARCELA GRABBED HER THIGH WHEN THEY WERE IN THE CAR IN THE WOODS BEFORE THE STORM AND WAS CHASED BY THAT OLD GUY WHO HELPED THEM i mean her face was like “excuse me ma’am that’s my thigh you grabbed” I KNEW IN THAT EXACT MOMENT THAT THEY’RE GONNA FUXK
This face?
That moment was great. In the middle of this hurricane, car stuck, scared of some random guy driving up behind them, everyone shouting over each other, it’s a goddamn mess, and Marcela grabs Vera and tells her to trust her and IT WORKS. It calms her down and she listens. And that face, lol. In hindsight, you’re right, it was obvious where it was gonna go from there. Instead of tearing off her head like she normally would have, that little thoughtful glance, like, hello.
Can we talk about Vera wearing Marcelas button up? Meaning Marcela gave it to her like the good girlfriend she is.
Aw, she did! And the way Vera gave it back, all polite and awkward:
I can’t believe they deprived us of seeing Marcela offering it to her, probably, take this, flaca, you’re shivering. Their dynamic is one where it’s easier to be blunt, or even rude, even if they’re being nice underneath. Every time Vera gets all somber and quiet, Marcela cheers her up, usually with some affectionate mocking, which is their Thing and which works. She is honestly on her way to be a great girlfriend.
