I only know about S19 from your edits, so I’m sure I’m missing parts, but how do you feel about the whole maya sleeping with another person thing? Doesn’t seem like it was resolved and now they’re moving in. But I guess nothings normal in covid times

Well, I hated it, and tbh, that kind of changed how I engaged with the ship. It was a huge reminder to put this into the “enjoy the good things while you can” pile instead of something to get invested in on a emotional level. There will be episodes where it’s going to be cute and consistent and then others where it’ll flip entirely for what the plot needs *cough*FILTHY RICH Ep 9*cough*

Even without covid, they might have moved in together quickly, just because the writers have to think of something to give them to do and this show will always lean toward what creates drama. But given that it is covid times, as you said, I don’t really think it’s that out there for these two, who can be already be impetuous but now would surely be happy for some solace as emergency workers during the start of a pandemic as well as some general companionship, aside from trying to get back to the makeup stage of their…physically affectionate relationship, heh.

Is it going to be problem-free, given how recent the cheating was and the added pressures of moving in and the pandemic? No, but they’ll get some good drama and processing of everything out of it, hopefully.

Just to be accurate: during the videocall Carina says “bambina, it’s not safe etc etc”. Bambina literally means “little girl”, but we use it like a word of affection: it’s like baby, honey. We use it a lot in Italy, especially here in sicily ? it’s cute. Xoxo

Oh, awww. I didn’t catch that at all, and the closed captioning had it as “I mean” but it does make more sense that they didn’t both start consecutive sentences with “I mean”, heh. Thanks for the correction! That definitely makes that scene even cuter.

I saw people commenting about Maya and Carina’s kissing being bad, do you agree? Now that someone pointed that out i see it

Uh, no, I haven’t really ever thought about that… I don’t really focus on that, as you know, I’m pretty into the emotional aspect, and I see so many complaints on general but it’s so many factors, right, what network, what timeslot, what genre, the age of the characters, the stage of their relationship, if that particular kiss is supposed to be affectionate or romantic, the fact that f/f kisses have an extra spotlight on them to not seem male gazey or “porny”, etc, etc. I’m pretty non-judgmental about all that since I don’t know what’s going on BTS. 

But I can still see how they are even if I don’t judge and these two never really stood out as being terrible to me? I guess we haven’t seen much of the actual kisses, they’re mostly just about to, hence me making a whole gifset about them smiling into their kisses, or like…hidden by hair or whatever. There was that good one in the office last season, though? When Carina flipped her hair?

Carina is a obgyn. I am sure that she makes plenty of money. Moving to whatever place would be no issue for her. I wonder whose house they will move into. I kinda hope that it will be Carina’s. I wanna see a new set and I am pretty sure that Carina also has the bigger house.

True, true, she can probably do whatever. I think from the promo pics of 4×04 it’s Maya’s kitchen so sorry, no new set. It’s probably for the best, this show would never do justice to what Carina DeLuca’s place would be like. 😛

So I started watching Filthy Rich and I got up to episode 9 and I know there’s one more episode left but I’m confused? What was the point of putting Becky and Ginger together if they were just gonna break up in the next ep? Like if it was hust for the divorce then why have that convo about how they wanted to give their relationship a shot? Like th divorce is the only way the show has been affected so far so I’m just very confused.

And another anon:

I’m all confused as why they were gonna have them together Becky and Ginger to break them up so quick?

I know! It’s just so weird narratively?? They didn’t need to do that if they didn’t want to, it barely had any impact on the rest of the show. Now I’m not even sure why Becky is a character that exists at all, for all the effect on the show she’s had? Unless she’s going to take up Paul’s mantle, but even so, what does this all have to do with Becky/Ginger and why have the convo they did in 1×08…I don’t know… Ugh, it’s so much harder to deal with badly written drama than effectively written but devastating angst.

I love that even you, that notoriously don’t watch many movies, watched happiest season. I think it was a kind of movie many of us were craving. I’m glad you enjoyed it too

Yeah! I really liked it, much more than I expected to.

Though, I was really happy at first to be sharing in this popular f/f thing, since I’ve missed out on some of the recent big communal experiences, I’m honestly a little sad and hurt at the attitude about closeted people I’ve seen from shockingly so many people, people who I know try to approach other things with kindness. I feel more distant from the community than before so it’s been a little soured for me, sadly.

I’m sorry I’m replying your positive ask like this and I’m truly glad other people are enjoying it! 🙂 We did all need something like this, especially this year.
