What could make juls drink? I’m been thinking about that a lot. Is HC obviously she’s not going to do it

Well, I don’t think anything? She literally doesn’t like the smell or taste, what comfort would she find in it? 

I know people have floated theories that maybe she associates it with Chino and his behavior and perhaps even other trauma, which then presumes she keeps away from it more for fear of its effect than any actual dislike toward it, but she literally makes a face when it’s given to her. 

She’s not one to give in to peer pressure and not even Val at her most winsome could persuade her to try, so I don’t know how she could even acquire the taste and get over the initial revulsion.

I’m confused. Is Valentina a lesbian or bisexual?

And another anon:

I don’t get it. Is Val a Lesbian or bi? one moment she says she likes women and in the next she says she only likes 1 woman 

And another anon:

If there’s one thing I don’t appreciate it’s the whole insistence that val doesn’t like women she just likes Juls,, like it’s the trope where she just has an exception

I actually don’t really see this as one of those situations. Val has already said sex with guys didn’t do much for her, she’s said that she’s never felt the same way with a boy, she didn’t even believe in love before. I don’t think anything about the writing is saying Juls is the exception to her otherwise only liking men.

What is a possibility is her only liking Juls out of…any human, that is the trope these storylines fall into more often, where once someone realizes they’re in love with a woman, they’re still only about that one woman. But even that, the whole “do you like girls?” “No. I like Juliana” and “I like women, actually, no, I like one woman, I like Juliana” thing is more to sell the drama and the romance. That long pause after she says the “No” to Eva’s question was to make us think, oh, is she going to deny her feelings? BAM, no, she’s gonna say it’s only Juliana, all romantic-style.

She could be bi or gay, still, and they might leave it vague, it doesn’t matter to the story what she defines herself as, Juls is her soulmate.
