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.
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.
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.
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.
I don’t know… One the one hand, she’s created this misleading idea about all the guys she’s slept with but it’s just a few and she’s never had an orgasm before, so her first and so far only is with a girl but on the other hand, she can drive, so. 😛 But really, on the other hand, there is the trauma that might account for the first part, not that she’s a lesbian.
I don’t really suppose it matters either way. But I think that as a fictional character who is the first billed of this series, it is less likely that she is written to be a lesbian.
Yeah, I don’t think they know. Surely not. And exactly as you said, Ro shouldn’t have said that in any case, but knowing that??? No. I feel like even aside from that one time, if they knew, they’d allude to it in other ways, tiptoe around it, mention it at some point, reference it in hushed whispers. I don’t think Vera told anybody, not them, not her parents.
Oh? What’d it say? As I think I’ve mentioned, I’m not even that good with accents in English, people speaking in Spanish would be totally over my head. Even when y’all talked about Maca and her Argentine accent, I was like, sure, whatever you say. I guess you’re saying her accent as all three people is different? I’m impressed!
Ah, well, then sorry to be as negative as you expected! Heh, yeah… Been kind of a long downward trajectory there. Which, admittedly, did make it easier to just trail off paying attention, at least for me. And thanks!
