rewatching juliantina scenes crying over the way valentina burrows into juliana, in two very pivotal moments, 1. when Juliana just straight up says she wouldn’t stop the make out, and then that they’re in love 2. when waking up from their first time together, Juliana wants to leave, and Valentina can’t even handle the thought. can they stop being so soft please? i am dying
1. when Juliana just straight up says she wouldn’t stop the make out, and then that they’re in love
AND Juliana reassured Valentina that whatever they felt, it was for them and not anyone else to judge.
2. when waking up from their first time together, Juliana wants to leave, and Valentina can’t even handle the thought.
I kind of love that after their first time, their reactions are completely in character, Val being extra clingy while Juls wants to take a breather to process it all, including waking up in a romantic partner’s bed for the very first time and to the immediate threat of discovery at that. But a drowsy needy Val snuggling into her calms Juls down too and we know she can never resist her.
Now, I hope you don’t mind, but I have a few more I wanted to mention too.
It’s clearly become a habit, a kind of safe space for Val. After the confrontation with Lucho, she just helplessly falls into Juls.
The next one is similar, born out of a desperate need for comfort, but it’s not exactly the same. I love these kinds of developing motifs in their relationship. Gift-giving, clothes-exchanging, teaching other things, handholds, playing with hair, pinkie promises. And like in real life it isn’t just plain repetition but evolving, and often something changes to give it even more significance. The pinkie promises are now part of their pact. And the neck snuggling after learning that Val loves how Juls smells? These things all add to it. That THAT’s actually her safe space.
And the thought that they fell asleep like that?
And then a really fun little bonus? Maybe this is all when it really started. 😛
There is an extended version of the kiss in the van, a full make out scene that they censored that’s why we on Twitter are asking for it.
Oh, okay. That’s why, lol.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Barb & Maca say in the Raze interview that there was a scene in the jeep where Val was supposed to get mad bc Maca grabbed her boob? But they censored it, so the script changed and they did the new scene. Based on what they said, i got the feeling that they never filmed the first version. Im just wondering why ppl are trying to get the van scene when we already got it. (granted i wouldn’t mind if it was longer) Is eeryone confused or just me
What? People are trying to get the van scene? Well. It worked once already, right.
I thought two different things happened, one was that scene changing, not even necessarily because of censors, somebody just made a creative decision, and frankly, I think, for the better. As if Val would get mad about that. Not in a million years, lol.
But, I also think what did end up getting shot for the van scene was longer than what was aired. Tbh, I think what we got was good enough, clearly they were interrupted as it was about to escalate so we got the start and the end, there are just bits in between that are missing? But then I thought the first time scene was it aired was okay too so what do I know? I’d say let the fans do what they want and show interest and maybe have fun while doing it. I just hope they don’t get frustrated if it doesn’t work this time. Getting the first one was crazy enough.
Wait, when did Leon change his mind about val and juls being together? The last thing I remember is him venting to his friend and being pretty upset about it?
I think he was just frustrated about everything changing too fast and him not being able to keep track of what was going on or do anything about it, it was just another thing on a list, and–wait. Do you mean venting in this episode or before, after he first found out? I think at that point he was mostly just shocked and feeling like it was another sign he didn’t know his kid and then there was also the fact that he’s Val’s father in Juls’s father’s body, lol.
Overall, I think he’s a temperamental dude, his moods seem to influence his thoughts. In last night’s ep, after being in a better place to have a longer chat with his daughter than the last time, he noticed how unhappy she was and well, he’s spied on them enough to know how good Juls is for her. How else should any loving parent advise his daughter?
So I’m only on like episode 38 and I know girls in general are allowed to be more affectionate with each other (and it’s less weird in Mexico) however I do like the fact Juliatinas intimacy isn’t weird or hesitant even as new friends. They’re dancing together, holding hands, sleeping in the same bed, touching each other’s hair and it’s never awkward or taboo, and I really enjoy this type of freshness or comfort they have with each other. Idk I just needed to voice this!
“Juliatinas intimacy isn’t weird or hesitant even as new friends”
Yes! That’s what stood out to me from the start, the moment on the park bench? At first I was like, well, this is kinda awkward but cute, and then Juls cracked that joke and they were instantly so comfortable? Walking along, holding hands, cuddling, even before the rise of the Feelings, they were so open. It was so lovely to see.
I’m going to sound like a total nutter now, even current me is side-eyeing past me, but when I was first catching up, I literally remember saying to a friend, this friendship is so rare in how well done it is, I almost don’t want a romance to come along and ruin it. Hah. Can you imagine!
woah woah woah did you know that there’s a scene of valentina and guille playing tennis in a non-subbed video (Valentina Carvajal 19). Her abs. in motion. I’m having a stroke.
Did I know? Anon, it was a bit hard to miss! It is kinda subbed though, with wlext’s subs that still need some work, but if you go here, to timestamp 12:19, you can mostly make it out.
León said “amiguita” which translates as “little friend”. But there are things to consider: As your other anon said, -ita -ito are added at the end of a word and it’s a term of endearment. The translator’s emphasis on referring to a girl is because while “friend” doesn’t specify a gender, saying “amiguita” specifically refers to a girl. And also the way León says that word implies he knows there’s more than a friendship
Ohh, okay, that’s what he says. Shows how much I don’t know, lol. Thanks for this too, it’s all becoming clearer. From what I understand, basically Jacobo is saying, Val and Juls, sitting in a tree

And Val understands the implication.
In espanol any time “ita” or “ito” is added to a word it’s to make it more endearing. Like I call my wife mi amorcito which literally translates to little love but it’s not meaning I only love her a little. Adding those is like putting more emphasis on how you feel in a way. Mijita is like just a little more love than mija. A lot of people will say mija to you even if you’re not their daughter but probably only really close people would say mijita.
Awww. Mi amorcito. 😀
And @caesir adds:
yeah, he uses the ito/ita diminutive (flashback to the little brother discussion) which would be something like little friend but in this case he obviously means “that female friend you also kiss/special friend”. i think girl-friend plus the quotation marks does the job.
I think it does, yeah. 🙂
Do you happen to know how was Leon referring to Juls? In the translation it was special girl-friend?
Oh, yeah, I was curious about that too. The person I go to for all translations, @caesir, translated it as “girl friend”, with the quotes for that kind of emphasis where the speaker knows there’s more to it than that. By the different translations around it, I’m guessing it’s something without a single direct translation?
