do u think Vera loves her job? for someone who lives by appearances, the fashion world can be a good refuge

Hmm, that’s a interesting question. I think she is genuinely interested in it and, as you said, she’s so image-conscious it works out well. But is that what’s best for her? The Vera we saw at the beginning wasn’t happy at all but worse, she took it out on her coworkers. That wasn’t a person who loved her job. But that’s more to do with her, I guess, she’d be like that anywhere.

If you keep her interest and eye for it, and if she changes how she approaches people, she could come to love it. Even though her coworkers justifiably called her out for her bullying, they still seemed shallow and self-involved and I think she genuinely likes all that, the affectations, expensive things, the one upmanship. She even loved those blouses they bought. As long as she’s not hurting people, I think that is still the world for her. She’s not going to come of this so different she’s going to become, like, a social worker.

It’s crazy bc the last place you want to be is NYC. Even the White House (I know they’re a bunch of idiots lol) told ppl to self quarantine for 14 days after you leave New York. The amount of cases there is pretty alarming. Anyways I hope she stays safe. Some people are dropping their guard with the virus but it’s just started.

For sure, which makes me wonder why you’d head there unless you had a good reason. And as the experts keep saying, when nothing’s happening, people will feel like they’re doing all this for no reason and venture out again, which will undo all the work done.

And another anon:

Her actions do not match her words. The pandemic had already been declared and I remember her posting being out and about with many friends, even going as far as jokingly making Corona references. Sadly, just goes to show she’s just as out of touch as any other privileged celebrity. The same rules don’t apply to the rich and famous. That is a fact. And we need to start making them accountable for it rather than blindly idolising them.

Ah, if that’s true, that’s not so good. A lot of people were taking it so lightly early on. Hopefully she’s following the rules more strictly now that NYC is such a hot zone.

Hey just wanted to say that I’m actually glad you’re not a stay in one fandom forever. It’s refreshing, I’m like the same and love to actually switch content all the time. So you know thanks to you I get to discover new things all the time!

Aw, thanks! I do like that difference myself. Even when I’m posting old stuff, I like to vary it up.

You know I sometimes do shake my head at my clearly last-first mindset, even right now, I’m like, so I’m just gonna ignore Killjoys, El Embarcadero, and Desenfrenadas?? My so-called faves? So fickle! But at the same time, aside from how much I like watching and discovering new things, even if I were to stay in just one fandom, which would it be? It wouldn’t have been Juliantina. If I’d still been focused on finishing everything before moving on, I’d probably never have even gotten to them. 

I do wish I could manage my time better, but I think my current approach is better than the alternative.

Carina and Maya are stupidly adorable on S19. I watch all their 30 sec scenes with a giant grin on my face. I’m really curious to see how they play out. So far so good, but it’s been in small spurts. Next week should be interesting because I don’t think Maya knows how to relax but I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for the gifs you do of them.

Lol, anon, you’re not even exaggerating. They get this tiny cute little scene each ep. Even Maya’s going THROUGH it, by the time she has her scene with Carina, it’s mostly wrapped up. But at least that keeps them short and literally quite sweet. You know that as soon as they get more time, then starts the drama~

And yes! It’ll be interesting to see what they do now that they’re going to have that extra focus. From the promo it looks like Carina’ll try to get her to relax, even if that means she can’t let go of her competitiveness and gets into push up contests by the pool, but then the five alarm fire alert will force her to decide if she’ll stay with Carina or head back to work. And then I guess we’ll see if Carina’ll remain as incredibly good-natured as she’s been or start to resent it a bit. As cute as they’ve been, it’s mostly been pretty surface level, with Carina absorbing whatever particular issues Maya’s having, which, okay, it’s Station 19, Maya’s show, and she’s going through a tough time and they only get a minute at most, but you know. Carina’s struggling with her brother and I don’t think we’ve ever seen them discuss that. Give them more minutes! But still end in fluff, please.

Ultimately, they’ve passed the first hurdle I’d been fearing for them, the breakdown Maya was heading toward as an unpopular captain whose best friend felt betrayed by her. Hoping they pass these next ones, I don’t really know how long they’ll plan on these crossover couples (aside from Bailey and Ben).

Any thoughts on Maca flying to New york in the middle of this? She said it was basically to follow her boyfriend but alot of people are upset because of how selfish and irresponsible it all is. Then she went on her live talking about being safe and basically trying to give advice. She even created a “hashtag” so they can help each other in this time.

Ah, I don’t really know what to think. I would say it’s pretty unwise, at the least, but I don’t have all the info. If it seems so ludicrous as to be unbelievable, maybe it is and we don’t know the real reason. But I don’t want to make excuses either, maybe it is selfish, I just don’t know either way. I just hope followed the proper guidelines and continues to.

A follow up to the image of Sjukt oklar! Anyway happy to heard that my ask kept you, even for a bit, away from the news! As you said they have been really bad (what kind of apocalyptic year is it…) I hope you’re doing well wherever you are!

Ah, well…sadly, I have been unable to tear myself away from the news. Republicans are…garbage.

But yeah, thanks! The person who gave the earlier shooting detail also said they finished on Jan 28th, so I guess there probably was some post-production they needed to do that might have been halted or slowed by all this. We’ll see, I guess.
