I hated the guy but damn, he really was holding his arms out to protect Lupe and Val and put himself at the front to face the gun. He was a violent creep but I guess there’s hope for redemption for anyone.
What are the odds that 2 lesbians survive shoot-outs twice in the same show? wow
I remember last time this happened, somebody was like, AAM said fuck the BYG trope and I was like, I don’t wanna tempt fate or anything. But both get kidnapped, both have the other come to their rescue, basically bullets flying around EACH of them TWICE and yet? They’re still here.
heeey, what happen with the “f” anons???
They were able to reach each other. One was actually already following the other, lol.
THANK YOU! I knew I could not be the only person who saw Amaya and Sunfire Warrior and thought they’d make a good badass teamup couple once they both realize what’s going on. Of course then *spoiler alert* they reveal they had an actual lesbian couple and ofc they went w ~that~ plotline for them. So yes, they do owe us Amaya/Sunfire w a very dif fate lol
Apparently her name is Janai! And for real, they give me this and think I won’t ship it?
And omg, the existing lesbian couple. I was watching in shock as that all unfolded. Was I really seeing that? Were they really doing that? In a family show? In 2019? After Voltron? Surely they must have actual live canon rep on the way, to be so confident in thinking they could get away with it.
Something I noticed the aam writers did that perfectly reflects the struggle is the reactions to their sexuality To val: “you can’t be gay you’ve had boyfriends, you’re just confused” To Jul’s: “you can’t be gay you’ve never had a boyfriend, you’re just confused”
Ooh, that’s true. If anything, at least they’re going away from soulmatesexual, lol, the “exception”.
I really hope they return to the topic, especially with Juls after making her go through that. They seem to have set it up to be addressed, the conversations between Sergio-Juls, Sergio-Lucho, and Lupe-everyone have been left open, presumably purposely so?
You made gif set, there is still hope you wold be in this until the end. I don’t want to lose you like the rest that left. Your blog is one of my happy place.
Aww, anon. I’m not even sure if that many people have left, I would guess many are now waiting, just to see how things end up. And plus, I didn’t gif anything all for a couple of days too, not because I wasn’t still into them, but because I didn’t really find anything gifworthy. It’s not really the fun part of their journey anymore.
And thank you for saying that! You can always come off anon and talk to me personally, I’ll never react badly or be put off.
idk if you’re into clc or not, I remember you posted that “iconic” gifset of Yeeun for Black Dress. But they had a comeback recently and could really use help with voting ?
Voting for what and how? I did love that bit in the vid. The whole MV and song. Just a couple of days ago I was on Youtube looking up reactions and every single time they got to the cut and Yeeun with the short hair, people would gasp and start yelling, lol.”Dude, did she really cut it?”
Theory: Since Val isn’t listening to Sergio, would it be possible that he ends up explaining what happened with him and Juls, to Lupe? Telling her that Juls felt awful before and afterword and was only concerned about Val? I feel like the best redemption arc for Lupe would be her realizing that her meddling threw a wrench in her daughter’s relationship/happiness and then helping to get Juliantina back together.
Hmmmm. That would actually work in making both Sergio and Lupe look better, because right now, yikes.
But I don’t know what could make Lupe see sense, considering how she’s being. She could just be like, Juliana will come around. Yuck. I know it’s important to show but this prolonged hateful illogical homophobia is nasty to see.
Maybe after Juls is returned and doesn’t seem to be recovering, that would be the time for it?
it’s my first time watching a telenovela but i was not ready for the sheer quantity and frequency of kidnapping plotlines
Hah, I’m not sure if this is a typical representation of the kidnapping prevalence in telenovelas but I was told that since this is about narcos, it’s going to happen a lot. Still, I feel like every main character, of a large cast, getting kidnapped except like…Johnny and Guille? is a lot!
If my understanding of the show’s timeline is right: Juls slept with Sergio literally the day after she kissed Val and told her that she still had feelings for her; i honestly cant imagine how terrible it must’ve felt for Val to find that out. What gets me is that Val’s initial reaction(at least visually) wasn’t anger at her but a form of defeat which she stuffed down in her quest to save Juls, bc Juls is still the most important person in her life. I can’t. I need my girls to catch a break ugh
I think it might have been a little longer than that but yeah, that’s not really relevant, it’s still very recent and yes, exactly, she was crushed. That’s what I meant in responding to the previous anon, there are degrees of how much one can react and respond when they’ve felt so hurt. She could have been worried and still sat back at her house, like when Lucia was kidnapped. As a rule, Val is not particularly gung-ho except when it comes to Juls. Not even during her own kidnapping, a few days ago, that left her traumatized.
Other characters, or other people, really, might have felt so angry or betrayed they could have been like, it’s not my business. What’d she say, how you don’t know people at all? What thoughts must have been swirling through her mind.. But she is going against her own usual instincts and inserting herself into this and being the most proactive person, frankly, more than Juls’s parents.
