Oh, no problem. I think you had a pretty interesting and original interpretation of the situation and it can be true at the same time. What Val felt and why is one thing, and I would say that if there are two people involved, then surely the partner’s feelings are extremely important, but it’s also an extremely romantic and I would say true observation that Juls remained deeply in love with Val the whole time. So what you posited wasn’t entirely inaccurate either. It just depends on how you look at it.
You put up with 86 pages, wow. That’s super flattering but also, I’m really glad you got to see some of the really cool things anons brought up. Val stopping Juls from biting her nails like killed me when I saw that, the fact that it happened, that Maca and Barb shot it, that a director let it happen, that an editor included it, and then someone noticing it. The anons sent so many amazing asks over this experience.
Unrelated, wow, 15 posts a page..almost 1,300 posts, out of like, 7,150 total, that I’ve posted over 8 years. That few months of Juliantina makes up almost a fifth of everything I’ve posted. That…is a hyperfixation, huh. And a large amount of those are replies, which is new for me. I’m really pleased you did send me this, though, because I do love getting asks, I just want to give them all the attention they deserve and sometimes I’m not up to that. But thank you so much for letting me know, I very much appreciate when people take the time to write. 🙂
That details how to vote through Twitter or IG aside from the website. If you can’t understand, google translate is actually very accurate and details what counts and what doesn’t for IG and Twitter.
For the website, try a VPN or IP switcher and go to an American IP, not just USAmerican, but if that doesn’t work or it’s too much effort, IG and Twitter votes are still ways to do it.
Wow, that’s an interesting and nice way to look at it. It could apply to Juls, where she feels, “I’m definitely still in this. I can’t be with Val right now for so and so reasons, but I’m hers.” But then that feeling of betrayal during the Sergio bullshit probably came from the fact that she felt she HAD broken it. Even though she hadn’t stopped being in love with Val at any point, do you think Juls felt she’d kept it?
I’m afraid I do think that–even if for understandable reasons–Juls broke it. I’ve never blamed her or thought badly of her for it but it’s a promise she made to a person, not just to herself, not just about herself. If you’re in, I’m in. Val was in, through quite a bit of trouble and in fact, that was precisely WHY Juls backed out, she thought that’s what would make it easiest for Val. Val in, Juls out, better for Val. But what she failed to see was that she was what Val wanted and needed the most. So all Val saw was that she’d put in the effort but when it mattered the most Juls had backed out.
She can’t read Juls’s mind, she couldn’t know how much Juls was still yearning for her, what was going through Juls’s mind and why her reasons made sense to her. Anything she could actually totally correctly tell herself about how Juls was still calling her up and looking at her the same way and treating her the same way–well, but she wasn’t in, was she?
ps to clarify im not a bts stan or anything trying to be cocky haha. im not rly into kpop now but I was rly into another big group for a long time years ago, and kpop stans now are even more intense now than they were then
Hah, yep. Though, it will be interesting to see if the big ones will even deign to participate? There are so many things for the huge fandoms to keep an eye on, often they won’t rally to participate in this kind of thing unless prompted.
From what I’ve seen, people definitely seem to be voting hardest for best pair over best fandom. The only people I’ve seen actively voting for fandom (over pair) are Maca and Barb, lol. 🙂
I wanted to know if you think that Val was Juliana’s first kiss ever
Heh, you guys asked this right before the Sergio stuff went down, although the the second ask was like, a week before so kudos for wondering before the show even really hinted at it, because I DO think that headcanon became a lot more likely. The way Lupe was like, how do you know, and Juls was like, how do I know? I wouldn’t necessarily say her life in Texas made it easier or harder, as we saw, it didn’t really take much actual friendship or time to escalate, but given she even needed to compare… yeah, this coulda been her first EVER kiss.
While we are at it, can we ask him for an HD quality of that deleted scene from the finale?
Yes to HD deleted scenes, please.
