What did Catia say to Susana at the bar? Also, does Catia know that Susana is in the mob? And is Susana suspicious of Catia knowing she’s a cop?

I believe she very imaginatively hit on Susana by suggesting her drink was too strong for her, to which Susana, a master of subtlety herself, replied she liked things that are strong and hard, so Catia’s like, actually, that’s what people accuse me of being and then of course they start making out.

I’ll go back and gif stuff with dialogue, when I can. I think Catia does know, I thought we were gonna get a reveal where she’d like, open a case folder and see Susana’s pic, but I guess she already knows. I don’t know if Susana is suspicious, there’s a bit more I’m gonna gif, but I think of the two, it’s Catia that probably has more to suspect. If Catia really was gonna investigate Susana, sleeping with her with her badge in her pocket was…not the best detective work.

Also! Apparently Catia’s canon gay and Susana’s canon bi. Like, it’s not just two ladies thrown together because why not.

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?

Different anon but the chocolate maker Rana AU reminds me of this one PC game released like a decade ago. Where a lady has to rebuild her choclate empire after her younger sister travels the globe and gives away all the recipes. I’m blanking on the name of the game but Rana totally seems like the younger sister who happens to fall in love with a certain someone on thr European leg of her travels.

I’m sorry, what? A quick google reveals what you must be talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolatier_(video_game) Heh, that’s so specific and cute.

How is this chocolate maker Rana AU a real thing, I’m laughing. I’d love to see these kids in different roles, falling in love again and again. 

Actually! You know what I’ve been hoping for and expecting? A GBBO AU! They’re already British, which is like the biggest obstacle for most other ships, and they’d fit in perfectly! I know most people would say, oh, Rana is Nadiya of course, but I see her more as like, a mix of Chetna because I think if she put her mind to it she’d be hella awesome with the flavor profiles, and then Candice and Ruby Tandoh, with the standout physical appearance (I mean, if you look like Rana, your looks are gonna be noticed) and then a ton of attitude. Kate’d just be super nice and affable, lol, my first thought was Martha. Just a combo of Martha and all the bakers who were really good with the basics, Nancy, Holly, Ruth.

Someone write this for me, please.
