Rocio did say they would feel over excited/aroused lol
Hah, she did, and theyyyy did.
And you know, they had a whole beach full of non-judgmental strangers, including actually very nice men, to be ~aroused~ over but stayed stuck on each other. I actually really liked how earlier, when Vera found out she’d been cut off and was totally unfairly taking it out on Carly and Ro, they understandably bailed, knowing her mood, but Marcela stuck by and calmed her down. Like what does that say, that she’d prefer to stay with her even like that over playing around in the beach.
And then through the trip and its effects they kept on returning to each other, whether or not Carly and Ro were there or other people tried to join in, running around, in the water, dancing around the fire. Even in that state, some part of them sought out the other.
About that anon asking if Vera is a lesbian, well… I don’t think we’ll get labels for their sexual orientations, I don’t know exactly why but here in Mexico we are with the “I don’t need a label to love” discourse or something like that. So we’re getting our gay ships but they don’t label themselves… Just like they did with Juliantina. ✌?
Yeah, there’s a lot of that up in the US too, heh. But it’s fine, as much as labels can help with specificity, it’s also easier to not write them, or at least easier to not mess them up.
But I just hope they still follow this up in the next season (and that there is one), and don’t go, oh, it was just two opposite but similar girls connecting in a moment of stress, nothing to see here.
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.
juliantina/desenfrenadas cross over AU where Lupe had to put Juliana up for adoption when she was small due to the danger of Chino’s choices. Years later Rocio is a young resident on her first solo night shift media mogul Leon Carvajal is stabbed… I cant stop thinking about all of these crossover possibilities! i’m obsessed!!
Ooooh, that would be VERY interesting. Juls/Ro is the doctor who meets Val that way…nice, nice, nice. Because of her dad is the most important person to her and here is the beautiful young doctor who saves him. There are SO many possibilities, lol.
At one point I myself was like, wait, why am I thinking of Vicente vs Tobias for Ro when we have Vera and Val both as daughters of magnates with at least some stakes in journalism. Maybe they know each other:
(And they also know freaking Yalitza Aparicio for some reason, lol.)
And then maaaybe Vera could introduce Val to her childhood best friends and perhaaaaps things go from there.
ALSO. I heard that Barbi was supposed to be Marcela at first? Which on paper, might have seemed like Juls at first but can you imagine, lol. Still, I feel like there’s an interesting AU in there somewhere too.
What did you think about desenfrenadas last scene?? I love how the girls communicate without words. It starts like a circle Ro/Vera, Ro/Carly, Carly/Marcela, Marcela/Mike, Marcela/Vera and it ends with a teary eye Rocio, but you don’t feel sad like you said you feel optimistic that whatever live throws at them, they have each other backs.
Oh, I loved it, for exactly the reasons you said. It highlighted ALL the different friendships, this wasn’t just a show of one set of people, but this sisterhood, and they managed to save Marcela and show just how strong they were together, and how strong the bond was, for trying at all. A perfect place to end the season on.
Again, I really would love for s2 to pick up directly from there, but I would understand if they didn’t want to ruin the beauty of it and just left what happened next to our imagination and did a timeskip.
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.
