This time around I don’t feel anyone pressuring them to speak english. I know it happens sometimes but this time I think it was just people knowing they both speak some english and therefore asking questions. And to be honest I feel for the people that can’t understand them in their native language, they miss a lot of content because of it and have to patiently wait for the kind souls that translate things. [1]

Obviously that doesn’t give anyone the right to be rude, but I didn’t notice anyone over the line this time around. Also about the LGBT question, they both answered it in Spanish as well precisely because they can be more eloquent that way, Maca made a joke about answering in Spanish as well because this way they can speak faster. Anyway, for the people that are waiting for translations, I believe All The Lilies is uploading it with subs. [2]

Oh, okay, that’s good, I wasn’t sure about it, I hadn’t tuned into most of it and then wasn’t watching the comments. But like, it can be just the sheer number of people asking that becomes kind of overwhelming in itself, you know? But yeah, I do get it, like I said, it’s just an individual asking, they’re not exactly bargaining collectively. And oh, okay, awesome, glad they got a chance to finetune their answer. 

Ah, awesome! Ole ATL coming through again.

This is part 1, they’re doing it in big chunks:

And I think this other user is also doing it?

The fact that there are like at least three different entities sitting down to do this hour long video is…so lovely, lol.

Barbara and Maca are sweet for answering stuff in English, but tbh I get irritated af at people’s entitled insistence that they speak English. Ppl can be so rude about it online and it’s so obnoxious. AAM is in Spanish. It’s been translated w English subtitles by lovely people, but it really makes me feel some type of way to see English speakers demand that they speak English (I kno u & others aren’t demanding it, I’m commenting only on rude ones I’ve seen) esp in this moment.

Aww, yeah, that does suck. I guess I assumed it was mostly people requesting it but for sure, the more there are, the more overwhelming and like an instruction or demand it seems. Even if people aren’t from countries where English is the main language but it’s the overlap language they can understand, they can hope the fans translate and if not, just, that’s not for us then. 

Like, that really weighty question about how to be respectful as straight allies, which, I understood the answer precisely because they answered in English and I really did like their response, but it was clear they struggled a bit finding the right words to convey these very precise, sensitive sentiments and it was a bit unfair on them, in that sense.

I don’t really know how to resolve it, though, each fan is acting as an individual, they just want to understand and communicate and in turn, Barb and Maca want to please them. It’s not like that person asked that the response be in English (I don’t think, anyway), so. I guess, just, be cognizant of the situation and dynamics and be respectful. 😡

The barbarena live was crazy, they were number 1 on the trending topics in Mexico, number 8 in the world and trended in 42 countries total. All that with one day notice. They still got it, which is amazing giving how long it’s been.

Oh, wow, I hadn’t realized that about Twitter. Where WAS I when it was happening, honestly, I seemed to have missed it totally until the anon sent me the ask. Well, I guess I was here on Tumblr. D: But yeah, like, the fandom is just hibernating, they’d so awaken if there was legit new content.

The last live made people go crazy about barbarena again. While I think is stupid to ship people irl, I find funny all the jealous maca videos they share

I was actually kind of surprised so many people tuned into a live that had I guess like a day’s heads up. Were they getting 11k even during their heyday? Well, they didn’t do lives together, just regular ole interviews. It was so unexpected, after all this time and knowing fans had been burning for one of just the two of them since the start of the lockdowns and now this pops up with them sharing a sofa. 🙂

And, what, jealous Maca??? Wasn’t it the other way around last year? Fandom’s creating a whole separate telenovela in their heads.

According to the movie they said that exactly yesterday they both spoke with Bardasano, the idea is there, and theyre committed on making it happen, I believe they are going to be involved in the writing of the story (they kinda wanted to say that but they started whispering and talking in code lol) but they don’t want to give dates or anything cause that would be giving false hope, and right now things have been difficult with covid, but Maca was like Yes guys, write to them! Lol

Okay, it’s understandable that covid’s delayed things, but what, the script’s still not final? What are they doing with it…I mean, I guess on the one hand I’m happy they’re being careful with it, certain plot points are definitely potential firestorms but it’s been a while. Hm. Anyway, thanks for the info!

Maca showed Bárbara the questions and she said she wanted to answer the one about the sexuality, she pointed to it and was like: Yes, that one, I want to answer that one. And proceed to explain that a while ago she said that considering her age and experience she was straight, but now that really doesn’t make sense with her, that she feels that if it happens then it happens, she said in a very nonchalant way. It was, may I say, insightful? Yeah

They were also asked about the movie, and they said they really really want it to happen, I even remember a few months ago that they spoke about it too, and that they will make it happen, even if it means that they have to make it themselves, like really getting involved. They are committed, that’s for sure. Ps: different anon here! I also sent you the previous about the sexuality question.

Oh, so she chose to answer that one and now…hmm. Does sound super insightful! It’s kind of interesting how for people even now, it’s not until they’re acting (or writing) an LGBT role and it makes them learn and think more and reconsider some things.

Is the movie in doubt or like, were they just reaffirming their commitment to it?

And thanks! Love that this ship is made up of so much crowdfanning, as always, we’re so grateful to you all for volunteering to share your translations! 🙂

Barbarena live, thought it’d mention some things they talked about: 1. They’re both slytherins lol 2. They have a surprise they’ll reveal Sept 14 3. Someone asked who they thought was a better teacher, val with swimming or juls with dancing. Barbs said val with swimming bc they got a kiss out of it lol then they rambled about wether the dance scene came before the kiss, And maca said that it def came before the kiss otherwise the dance scene would’ve ended differently.

Cont. someone asked if they ever saw themselves dating someone of the same sex. Barb said that before she would have answered differently, but that now she says, if it happens it happens. Then of course maca mentioned not liking labels (but also understanding why people like to label themselves) and that she just wants to love who she loves, and that who she has sex with is her choice. Im still watching the live rn lol

Thanks so much for taking the time to send this in! And for actually doing it so quickly, last night, despite me taking so much time to publish.

1. Hah, all right. That’s the cool house now, huh.

2. September 14th, huh. It’s almost that time again. Juliantina Day. 🙂

3. Barb’s right, the swimming sure was more effective. It’s funny they get confused about the order of scenes, it must be quite different on their side, but Maca winning out with pure logic in the end.

Heh, people still asking those sexuality questions. But interesting answers nonetheless. 😮
