I just started watching Desenfrenadas yesterday. Bárbara’s accent is so different than in AAM. Which is interesting considering my Spanish is Americanized af. I also think she’s much more interesting in this show. While I loved Juliantina, Juliana’s character was kinda bland for me before. I feel like I’ve seen more depth and I’m so impressed. Hope they get a second season!

Oh, I did hear that about the accent! Didn’t pick it up myself, of course, but it’s neat it’s that noticeable.

Heh, can’t agree on the second part. Love Ro, as I said about Abigail from MFS, I like a perfectionist stifled by family pressure, and instead of the bratty flavor, it’s the mom friend type, but Juls is Juls. I love her.

do u think Vera loves her job? for someone who lives by appearances, the fashion world can be a good refuge

Hmm, that’s a interesting question. I think she is genuinely interested in it and, as you said, she’s so image-conscious it works out well. But is that what’s best for her? The Vera we saw at the beginning wasn’t happy at all but worse, she took it out on her coworkers. That wasn’t a person who loved her job. But that’s more to do with her, I guess, she’d be like that anywhere.

If you keep her interest and eye for it, and if she changes how she approaches people, she could come to love it. Even though her coworkers justifiably called her out for her bullying, they still seemed shallow and self-involved and I think she genuinely likes all that, the affectations, expensive things, the one upmanship. She even loved those blouses they bought. As long as she’s not hurting people, I think that is still the world for her. She’s not going to come of this so different she’s going to become, like, a social worker.

Marvera and ass grabbing *chefs kiss*

It was such a good sex scene overall! A mixture of gorgeous and explicit and sexy and passionate and loving, perfect for these two characters. I’m not even kidding, the ass grabbing did its part to ground it.

And because I know what this ask was hinting at and it’s 4:30am, I will upload the gifs but behind a cut: 

What is the new show Barbara is on ? I keep seeing your gifs but have like 0 clue what’s happening. Is it set like a reality show of characters.. is the blond girl in love with in of the tan girls?

It’s that new Netflix show that was announced last year! We’d thought it might have been a movie, but no, it’s a 10 ep show called Desenfrenadas or possibly Unstoppable.

It’s just a regular scripted show, not at all like a reality show. 

Tan girls?? There is one dark-skinned girl, yes, and the blonde girl does seem to be into her.

Another anon (or the same?):

Is Marcela the blond or is that Vera? And who likes who really?

Vera is the blonde. I’d say they both like each other.

Same anon:

Also in desenfrenadas why do the blond and other girl look like they’re living underground or something

Heh, what do you mean, the sex scene being so dark? It’s like, twilight, but they’re out in a beach. And earlier, when they’re dancing around a fire, it’s also just dark out. And…wait. I literally just counted off on my fingers and yeah, pretty much everything I’ve giffed of them is in the dark, either they’re in some dimly lit cabin because of a storm, or they’re in a car during that storm, or they’re in a strip club. Or they’re arguing outside during night again. It’s just a coincidence! They’re not actually Morlocks. 

Whata re your thoughts on the scene outside of the strip club for Marvera? I like how Vera came in with attack thinking Marcela was going to give it back to her but Marcela is just like listen it wasnt like that. Vera then just kind of doesnt know what to say. So she tries to change the subject making it about the ring but we know it never was about that. Then i loved her outburst cause she could hold it in. “You cant just ask like a FRIEND and then disappear”

Ugh, that’s one of my absolute favorite scenes. There’s so much they want to say and so much weight in their interactions now because of their recent history and both were so open with each other and had worked so hard to get there, considering the kind of people they are, and now have their masks on again because both are so afraid of getting hurt because they know the potential to be is there!

What I loved most was the clear shifting of balance back and forth, as different emotions took over. Vera’s up first, as you said, on the attack, using the ring. Marcela is on the defensive because she knows she was in the wrong but she blusters through. And then exactly! It’s not about the ring at all. Now there’s a shift because what Vera really wanted to know was about them. Why did Marcela leave? Was it because of her? Were they friends? If so, how could she just leave like that? And Marcela sees that vulnerability and something inside her responds, but she can’t give in, there’s no way forward for them here, so she tries to end it, claiming they’re too different. A confrontation that started with Vera wanting her ring back ends up with Marcela yelling at Vera before Vera hurts her by bringing up those same differences, which now would cause so much more hurt after their time together.

Everything I see the Marvera scene I kind of laugh because of that one shot of Vera like licking Marcela. When shes on top of her ?

Oh, hee. It took me a while to realize that happened! On first watch, I was so surprised the sex scene was happening at all and it was so damn dark, I didn’t catch it. It was only later when I was giffing it, brightened, that I noticed it, and even then I thought it was a nose kiss. 

And then when I was RE-giffing after the proper rips came out, I was like, awww, look at them gazing at each other all soulfully and then bam, Vera licks her nose! And then her forehead? I guess in fairness, Marcela was licking her all over too, heh.
