i’m so torn with sergio. i want to like him cause i think he’s just a dumbass who’s a good person deep down but like he keeps doing the dumbest shit. like he cannot keep his mouth shut. first he tells nayeli about val and juls then lucho abt their breakup?? wtf dude

And another anon (from a week ago):

so do we hate sergio anymore? i’m torn… ? 

And another anon (from before even that):

sergio is .01% better than lucho but only because he’s not actually violent

I don’t really think he’s anything deep down, I think he’s just a normal, easily swayed dude. He couldn’t have stood up against the homophobia when it was happening? If he felt strongly enough about it to bring it up now, I mean. It’s one thing if he didn’t have a stance either way and grew and learned from it, but he did apparently think it was wrong, but didn’t say anything then.

I liked that he let Val know he supported her but other than that, the “good” things he does are so minor and usually after allowing something much worse to happen first. And I can’t forget his attitude when he found out Juls sold lottery tickets on the street and only started liking her again when she wore that dress. It feels like he’s set up in direct opposition to Val who didn’t care at all about the tickets and whose reaction to the dress only reinforced existing feelings, not changing them completely. Juls didn’t need to look or be different for Val to fall.

Oh, I have a plot question! Do we like Lucia? I’ve only seen her interact with Val a little but they seem to have a good relationship? On the other hand she killed Leon so is she good or bad? And does Leon know Lucia killed him? If he does, is he not mad?

We do, we do like her. 

She’s definitely flawed and has made mistakes but she gets a lot of narrative sympathy. Not only does she get those flashbacks to Leon that show she’s missing him, something that endears her to the audience, we also get glimpses of her background, where she was forced into prostitution by her mom. So a lot of her need for security and acceptance come from that.

Also, she didn’t kill Leon, she thought they were going to steal from him, but Johnny jumped the gun and had Leon killed. She’s continued protecting him so of course she’s not an innocent victim in it but I would say that we’re meant to root for her to finally find some happiness with Jacobo/Leon.

I need your fowollers (and everyone) to start voting for our girls in the Tv y Novelas official website. Bárbara is on the most difficult category and we (she) REALLY need the votes. Vote for Amar A Muerte too, in all categories! Go and vote a million times incognito mode at the official website, IG is only going to count 1 vote per account/person.

So this is a bigger deal than I first thought, huh.

Here’s the link: https://www.tvynovelas.com/mx/

You don’t need to vote for every category, just clicking on the text for a name is a vote (not on the picture).

And obviously also Maca above in the Mejor Actriz Co Estelar (Google translate: 

Best Actress Stellar Co) category.

i was thinking and it must be even harder for Juliana and even Lupe to believe in Jacobo’s story since Leon is treating them exactly like El Chino. He is impatient with them, all conversations he has had with them since the beginning was full of him yelling at them and being completely insensitive. Leon/Jacobo is checking all the boxes of Chino’s behavior so a transmigration thing is already hard to swallow and combine that with his attitude with Juls and Lupe…

That’s true! Why do my poor Valdes girls always get treated like crap? I kind of like Jacobo, especially with Val (except for that one ep with Lucho) but he’s not been great to the Valdes women. Although I did find it endearing when Lupe got kidnapped and he felt so guilty and was tracking Juls so closely. 

But yeah, face to face, he’s not been great to them, and really, Juls is so totally justified, who the hell would believe her lying dick of a father when he says “I’m someone else”. He would say that, wouldn’t he. After seemingly escaping from an execution?

Gonna answer a few other plotty questions here. Another anon asked:

Hi sorry I have a question, why doesn’t Leon just tell his family like how he told Camillo? Other than that we wouldn’t have a soap opera to watch if he did

Actually, at first Camilo advised him not to, but even after Camilo saw how the kids were suffering and that Val at least was open to the concept of all this, maybe he should, Leon’s still wanting to get revenge for his murder and just wants to keep everything a secret. It is a bit forced for the drama. But I imagine he also genuinely likes to move among his family and find out things he wouldn’t have and interact with them in a way he didn’t before.

And another anon:

How was Juls let back in the house after Eva banned her. Was this mentioned?

They didn’t mention it as far as I saw, I was really hoping that the Camilo-Eva talk would maybe push Eva to very reluctantly let Juls in to help her depressed sister, but nope. Probably at this time, if yesterday’s kidnap victim wants anything, the rest of the household is going to accommodate that.

And another anon:

I shouldn’t ask that much of a show like them but I’d hope if Camilo talks to one of them or both about their relationship. Like give them advice that could help them get back together

I wish, I wish, but I don’t know if his advice would help? It’s so many other, external things, although, yes, yes, it is Juls’s state of mind being the main thing keeping them apart, but I don’t know how he could handle that? Not in one quick session.

And another anon:

There’s have to be a time jump. But most of the telenovelas had the time jump even at the end of the last episode. They put it in there for showing how are the characters in the future.

Right, right, but an epilogue is a pretty far cry from a mid-plot time jump. It really does, to me, seem like it’s going to be the former.
