Ah, I was just catching up myself (on their parts only, I’m not following the show as a whole anymore). The first scene was so cute and reflective of their current dynamic. They’ve fought so hard to get here and now…
IDK even kana didn’t really give this level of focus and attention that juliantina are getting. They did certain parts really well but then went back to old tropes or put them back in the background when it seems they were getting in the way of other storylines. It didn’t feel like they were a priority. Juliantina feels different because even though they’re secondary characters, they’re still integrated in the plot when their love story isn’t the focus.
For sure, I can think of maybe a handful of ships where if you took the two characters out, they’d fundamentally change the story (Clexa, Shoot, Heartless, Killjoys, Harlots…? I feel like the show could continue without Isabella…but I dunno, her bro is the series-long big bad…), but Corrie is a soap. That’s different. You could take out any character or family and the show would still be what it was.
We all knew Kate and Rana were junior characters, and yeah, there were some missteps but we can and kind of have to love ships even if they’re not the one and only best of all time. And I did love them. I loved how relatively wholesome they actually were, for a soap ship that started on an affair, I loved the individual characters and how they interacted within the ship, I loved the soulmate treatment they got.
But also, looking at that ELKDTAL MV, I’ll miss the desiness of Kana too. To be able to listen to desi songs and actually match them with a happy, canon ship, to think of all the little desi things that could fit with them even if we never saw it on screen, to share that all with shippers from other cultures.
I’ve been in a bad mood since learning about rana. I mean, i don’t watch them anymore because their storyline was shit. But I still have a soft spot for rana. I just wish bhavna gets more and better acting jobs in the future.
Yeah, it’s staggering. In 2019? After the 2016 backlash? For all the research they must have done into this?
How did they think a death is better than a breakup! That is straight people talk! I understand that they think this is going to be some soulmate forever bond sealed by a death, but that’s not how it works. Not for us.
Wait what’s going on?
They’re going to kill off Rana soon. Bhavna wanted to leave and I guess she asked for this, thinking it’d be kinder on the fans if she died and there wasn’t a breakup.
I had so many things still planned for them… I wanted to see what name they’d pick after marriage and was gonna change her name in my tags. I was going to make a gifset paralleling the various times they’ve talked about their future and going off on adventures. I had 294 things for them still on my to-gif list.
Have you seen the news about Bhavna/Corrie? I hope it’s not true?☹️
Yeah, I saw. Looks like it is true.
To be honest…I’m heartbroken.
