I dont think you guys understood when it was said that this girl is extra af in her acting. Is not just the dramatics: the body language, the tone of her voice, the facial expressions, is even her goddamn eyes. “The eyes chico, they never lie.” No they dont, but they sure as hell cam act!! Today in: even one more reason why Juliantina has set the bar too damn high.

Yep, just one more thing to make them inimitable. Whatever trick it is, most likely simply some particular sensitivity to dark, it just added to the whole falling deep and hard and fast effect they had going.

And another anon:

You got me all triggered now. How dafuq Maca blows her pupils that much? Do you know that scene where she’s sitting with Sergio (mad as fuck about their drunk tingy tingy) and the place is so illuminated that her pupils are so small and all you can see is blue? Maybe Maca’s really incorporated her character, I read some place that your pupils might change according to your emotions too, as you said, it’s not just about the lighting 

Lol, I think that is what some people might be getting at, and maybe it is something she can somehow…influence, but there are plenty of times when she’s with other people and in other situations and they’re also like that.

And another anon:

my eyes are as blue as macas, they are Very Easily dilated in places that are even slightly dark. so while id like to believe its bc juliana, its not :/ even so if you analyze their scenes her eyes are never dilated at the park or bright places which they should if the theory was true. sorry buddies. also watch some of macas other work and you’ll see a pattern, her eyes are just sensitive as sad as it is lol

wait i found a good example, look again at the “tenemos que hablar” interview, the light is lowish but bright enough to see everything perfectly and her eyes are STILL blown tf out

Yep, that’s probably what it is. She’s just one of those people.

And another anon:

Looks like she’s wearing contacts lense? ??

I think so, yes. She wears glasses, right? 

Yep. (Sidenote: I googled her with glasses and omg, she’s just so pretty.)

And another anon:

Oooo yeah I also read that your pupils dilate involuntary when you look at someone you you love/like/admire (like doesn’t have to be romantically, can be friendly too such as family or friends) so maybe her and Barbara just became super close super quickly

Heh, maybe she just has a great affinity for everyone.

And another anon:

Well the eyes never lie…I still stand by what I said about light eyes sensitivity, but who knows?

You’ve probably hit it, though, it is the light eyes sensitivity. Heh, she’s going to be such an effective actor because of some random quirk of nature.

And other anons:

Movies and tv shows often use special contacts that give the illusion of blown pupils for close-up scenes. That’s also how they do it for portraying drug addicts. 

To the two anons about the dilated pupils, I read somewhere that there are many safe ways to cause an actor’s pupils to dilate. Apparently it’s a popular way to tell the story visually. It could be FX contacts or the way the lightning is set up (If the actor’s eyes are lit by minimal lights then it won’t affect the dilatation if the set is well lit) CGI is also often used and I think aam cinematographers went that route with Maca.

Possssible but I just don’t know if they’d do anything that elaborate for this. I think it’s just a thing that happens with her? 

Hey there! I’m really sorry if you’ve answered this already but I couldn’t find it in the FAQ’s! Is there anywhere where much longer length videos of juliantina have been uploaded? Like a few hours long? Thanks so much for all the info you put up! It’s really appreciated!

Ooh, thanks for checking the FAQ! I should update that. zeroty is now starting to upload longer vids, you can find links to them here (each comment offers multiple links for each vid): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVdq4TJwt23ZFRJC8jxL7_A/community

maybe maca smoked some weed before filming the scenes where her pupils were dilated ?? no but i wonder if there’s a way you can ‘make’ them dilate? if so, maca is even more talented than we thought!!

Lol, anon. Hmmmm. https://lifehacker.com/dilate-or-shrink-your-pupils-on-command-5072854 Hmmmmmmmm.

But would she bother to do that? I’d think it were more likely it was related to her contacts or something. This is turning out to be quite the mystery. Well, with this fandom, I’m sure someone will ask her sooner or later.

To that anon asking about the dilation on pupils… i think it has more to do with their sensitivity towards light (it happens to all of us) but it is more noticible in people with light eyes (maca, alycia etc)

Yeah, but Eliza Taylor has very light eyes too and I don’t think it was noticed in her in the same way? Maca in particular looks practically belladonnaed, we get closeups of Val looking at Juls so frequently and her pupils are blown the heck out. You can barely see the blue for the black.

Lol, now I’m curious. I mean, I noticed it before (how could I not, several anons did send asks about it) but now I’m curious as to the how. There doesn’t seem to be a lack of light in either situation either.

hey can you make a power hour voting where we only vote for barbara? apparently both girls are winning but maca is at about 90% while barbara was at around 45% and the person in second place was at 43%. maca has secured the win so we can relax with her category but barbara really needs all the votes she can get

Hmm, yeah, I heard about that. I’m not sure we can trust any numbers coming out, though, and I’d hate to suggest leaving aside either, they’re both so close it can’t take that long to vote for both. But I do get the reasoning, we did clearly see during the Instagram voting how much more competition Barbara had. 

It’s up to everyone else, if they want to concentrate on Barbara for a while, it might help push her up and get a safety buffer. Or just vote more for both.
