Yes, number 3! I’m so pleased, for a f/f canon ship, it’s so rare to place that high if something horrible hasn’t happened. I pretty much halted so early, so I can only be grateful that the rest of the fandom kept that flame burning.
And aww, thank you, that’s so nice of you. I’m curious, which gif was it?
Actually, if anybody still following me started watching Juliantina because of a gif I made, what was it?
Oh, hah, I didn’t even think of that. You’re the superior shipper, anon. I’d love to ship them but there just seemed too much friction brewing there at the best of times. All kinds of vague resentments and jealousies under the surface. But I mean, that makes for good conflict to work through for a ship, if you’re so inclined.
But you saw the translated first kiss, huh? I know what you’re about, anon. 😛 “Use these lips for something other than talking”, oh my. I’m interested too, keeping an eye on the youtube subs as they come out.

And I’m totally not here for it. The dad isn’t sympathetic. He’s a monster and it pisses me off that they have all these women coming to defend him when he’s clearly disgusting. I think the worst so far has been what they did w Edie’s mom. Having a black woman carry water for a God complex white man who went around sexually assaulting women asdfghjkl SEE THIS IS WHY THIS SHOWS A TRAINWRECK but I’m not invested in it so there’s that. I can’t compare to glee Bc I was gone af for Santana lol (2/2)
Lol, LOOK AT ALL THE WAYS THIS SHOW SUCKS but I’m not mad. 😛 But no, I get you. I think I’m just mad that it’s so egregious and so needlessly so. Like, critics were mad at the first eps at how they’re softballing the dad so like…stop? Surely not all these eps were shot before the first were released? Or maybe they were, it’s hard to remember we’ve only had seven eps so far, it feels like this show’s been going on forever.
The last ep was the first time I was mad at Edie, before then, it’s been a somewhat understandable back and forth for someone who’s closeted and dealing with major identity issues, but we’re supposed to now understand that ep 6, that ambush in court, was Edie “choosing”? Not even just…telling Amanda? After telling her she was falling in love with her? And then going over to hang out with Lorenzo? This is literally why Amanda didn’t want him involved! If you’ve made your choice, cut things off! I don’t know what Edie wants, tbh. And I don’t think the show does either. I think they’ll just do whatever’s convenient for that ep and hope the audience will do the heavy lifting and come up with some reason. We know her mom isn’t homophobic, so is it about…trying to project a perfect image? Is it about not wanting to hurt Tim? But you don’t choose someone to live the rest of your life with and say you love when it’s about not hurting them. Before the affair with Amanda even started she could barely be with Tim. “Sorry you picked such a broken person to be married to”, like, where is the brokenness coming from!
Also, how are we just not really getting any reaction from the kids on how terrible the dad is? Just vague allusions to compartmentalizing, but like, the point should be that it’s barely working, that their disgust and conflict is just suppressed. Instead, it’s like, yay, sisters, and Edie and Julia actually happy that the case to defend their garbage father is going well. Every female character is spending way too much time defending him.
But anywayyy. Yeah. Heh.
Oh wow, thank you! Not one of the biggest fandoms on here, so that was nice to hear. 🙂
I won’t say they’re from a totally different show, because they get the same writing as everyone else, but they seem heaps more adult and professional. Even though they’re having a very soapy affair, heh.
I am 200% watching for Edie and her outfits and chemistry with Amanda, because I have not learned your zen, anon, and actually get like, angry. I’m just constantly like, why you are acting like that? Why would you say that? When were we supposed to pick up this sudden new development you’re acting like was implied at all before this moment? And most of all, why are they acting like we should sympathize with the dad??
Lmao, yes! I actually really loved that, and was trying to figure out a way to gif in parallel to watching it on screen. For a while, everything was going all right on Jamestown and it was just so charming and absurd and lovely to see. These incredibly educated, smart, brave humans sitting up there on the moon, acting out and laughing at a sitcom ep. And the fact that even Ed and Dani were into it, who tended to be more serious at times, all of them giddy and acting like children. I was so mad at NASA for not sending up more tapes! If they had any idea what they were going through…
Oh, you’re welcome and same! To be clear, it wasn’t an “instead of Kate or Betty” situation, but just wanting all the ladies to be f/f. 😛 So far, yeah, the For All Mankind story’s been impressively written and impressively acted.
Hey, thanks!
Okay, so, remember how I was predicting that maybe Ellen and Larry would get married to take the heat off? I had ALMOST added, as a guess that I then decided was too soapy, that Pam and Ellen would split up and maybe reunite years later, but it seemed too dramatic, why wouldn’t they just continue to treat it as the artificial but necessary arrangement it was? But the next ep picks up in the same general time, no large timeskip, Larry and now Ellen are continuing to face pressure, and when the boss suggests they take that next step, while they’re considering it, to Pam, that would be it. It’s too big and meaningful for her to ignore, so if they went for it, she and Ellen would be over. And then one of the final scenes is Ellen and Larry getting married.
