in my modest opinion before making a ranking, the eras should be well defined, to avoid confusion lol… but I would rank hospital era as the second best. for me, the first meeting/park dates/swimming lessons would definitely rank first, and Lupita’s kidnapping/hospital era would be second.

Anon, you’re so right. But, but, you would put Lupita’s kidnapping in hospital era? It had the kiss! It should be separate. 

Okay, I have these:

  • Meeting and getting to know each other, until the fight
  • Guille’s party
  • Lupe’s kidnapping
  • Hospital
  • Tentatively getting together, the kiss in the car, the talk in the cafe, breaking up with Lucho, sex
  • Getting outed left and right, breaking up, Val’s hostage situation
  • Separated but then still hanging out together, investigating the Jacobo thing, Lupe finding out
  • The Sergio thing and Juls’s kidnapping and rescue
  • Getting together till the end

Is that too many? Maybe Lupe’s kidnapping should be merged with the hospital…

Guille’s party was so good too…and after the hospital…honestly, every goddamn era until the last two was amazing. And even the last one had don’t provoke me.

Oh my gosh, but isn’t it? It’s gorgeous! It’s literally art on its own. There’s something so wonderful about art you like inspiring more art and both are elevated through your connection to them. 

Not to mention, many of us used to English language media keep overlooking or just plain forgetting the significance of Juliantina. Not the quality, even we are amazed and unused to that, but the existence, the scope, the worlds of difference between censored lesson-teaching and…romance. Pure romance.

There was another soft hug moment from the hospital. When the sicarios leave and juls asks if val can grab her moms meds by herself because she didn’t want to leave her alone. Val does this little hop and they kind of dance around ech other then val goes in for the hug and you see juls hesitate a bit with her body/hand but then she gives in and you see the mouth/chin part of her face land on vals shoulder and her hand come up to the back of vals shoulder and it was just so SOFT and perfect. Ugh.

Omigosh, I LOVED the buildup to that moment, the awkwardness was the most delicious thing ever, but I never concentrated on the hug. How soft… :’)

Honestly, real question. Was hospital era best era?

Those hospital part were some of my favorites too. Also I loved that during those episodes you see val always running after juls trying to keep up lol. The moment you just gif then the moment were juls thought val paid the hospital bill where shes walking away and val is talking about chocolate and trying to keep up and then when juls realizes val didnt pay and she turns around and starts walking away and you see val again running after her and in other scenes too. Thought those bits were cute

Also that moment when juls is leading val away after lupita catches them. Ugh that angry walk of hers is hot lol

I was thinking about how many moments there are when one grabs the other by the hand and leads her around (spoiler alert: a LOT) and how natural it was for them, despite it being a kind of intimate thing, no? But Val started it immediately, the first time they met, and coming from her, it really could just be friendly, she’s so naturally tactile and open, she feel she does that to everyone. 

But Juls returning it is definitely not such a normal thing. @dealanexmachina pointed out how careful Juls is when she touches Val, how aware and watchful she is around her, and that’s not just a Val thing, she’s as guarded with people as Val is open. But somehow she’s been able to take Val’s cue on at least this, deciding it’s just something friends, becoming second nature.

Sure, in the hospital and away from Lupe, it’s more a protective thing, wanting to get away from a situation and taking Val with her. She didn’t need to do it, Val was going to come with her anyway, it was just an additional reassurance to have Val’s hand in hers, a way she could feel better about being so helpless otherwise.

Even in this moment, when they’re about to have an enormously significant conversation about their feelings for each other, and so this might have been the moment to put a bit of distance between them or maybe it’d be too awkward? Nope, Val’s feeling down, so let’s take her to a place to do what she wants.

And here she kind of needed to actually physically pull Val along, even if it was all in front of her overbearing strict sister.

image

But very early on, it was a natural instinct.

So natural she does it when she’s taking Val literally three feet away. 😀

Now, the chasing is totally different and adorable. It’s kind of the opposite of the above, Juls is too focused on something to grab Val’s hand.

Ah, this one, when Val’s happily chattering about the chocolate she’s prepared and Juls is angry and preparing for their Talk (which, Val handled so maturely! All babe, no, I would have but you said not to, remember? So cute).

image

And this shot that they included right after just made it so extra cute, with her duster billowing behind her, lol. One of the things I loved about the hospital era was that when things were happening to Juls, the show included Val, a lot, her thoughts and feelings, but let the focus be on Juls.

image

And here we see a Valentinius Carvajalas chase her not-girlfriend in the direction of literal gunshots.

Bonus: Val chasing Juls

And catching her.

Hey do you know what ‘barbarena con yordi’ means on twitter? The original tweet is gone for some reason but everyone’s talking about it and I don’t speak much Spanish so I’m really lost.

Hmm. Don’t they pick like, different phrases/hashtags to try to trend them and often they have to do with specific publications or shows? Scrolling through the results for that one, I guess it’s the two of them with this person (con meaning with)? https://twitter.com/YordiRosado/status/1111495913250283520

I dunno if it’s a request to them or to him or a celebration of an interview being confirmed or what, though.
