Yoooo Tessa did something horrible, she stole Mariah’s journal to make her songs, why is she like this, Mariah is a good person and doesn’t deserve this lmao bye Tessa

Oooh, that’s shady. But I mean…soap level shady.. Is it framing her as like, romantic and stuff because of it? To make songs for herself or for Mariah? Not that it makes it better if they’re for Mariah. So she just like stole a person’s diary and used it to write a song? Well. That’s gonna need some extreme strength redemption for the ship. 

And okay, I get the feeling maybe you don’t think there can be redemption. And obviously that’s fine, of course. But I do think it can still be shippable, soaps are just built so differently from everything else. They go out of their way to be so contrived and wild only so characters can then do something equally big to redeem themselves. It’s just a constant neverending journey of upping the stakes.

Do you know if Imran is Rana’s younger or older brother?

Older. 🙂 I don’t even know if they said it, he just seems like one. But I looked it up and he’s mentioned at least in articles as being the older, so there we go.

Unrelated to that, but did you notice when they were at the bistro together with their parents and Zee and because he’d been demoted from his golden child status for separating from his wife, Rana’s parents were like, why don’t you sit at the head  of the table, Zee? Like…they’d rather replace him with their son-in-law than their daughter. She’s never going to be enough on her own, it was her marriage to Zee that’s raised her in their eyes. Is it any wonder that she’s loath to tell them?
