Yeah, they’ve both been through the wringer. And there’ll be troubles ahead, really. Only at the end of the show, hopefully, will they finally get some peace. But you know, on the way, they’re getting their little happy moments here and there. After they were able to fake Lupe’s death and then until confessing to Guillle it was relatively mostly quite pleasant.
idk why but one of my fav juliantina moments is when they’re at the park and Val is tryna convince Juliana to let her buy Juls something nice to wear for guille’s party.. and val does her little puppy dog eyes and says please in that little voice and Juliana almost immediately gives in…. and then the lip bite jeeeeezzz …. ughhhh so softtttt
Yeah, that’s a great scene that highlights everything good about them. Juls is honest about her concerns and her limits as far as receiving things goes, and Val makes it clear to Juls that she has understood and acknowledged all that and is specifically working on Juls’s terms. It’s so important that they’re both hearing and thinking about what the other wants. Their friendship and relationship is basically about them trying to give each other everything it’s within their power to give and convincing them to accept it, lol.
So Juliantina has shared 3 kisses and 1 almost kiss…. all initiated by Valentina. What is the significance that she’s the more forward one physically but the one having a harder time being in love with another woman?
Wait, I’d say Juls initiated the one in the car. But I get your point.
I think, as the other anon said, she’s definitely more instinctive, and when she’s with Juls, it’s really easy to just want to be with her. But she wouldn’t be the first person to find it difficult to reconcile feelings with everything else that comes along with them, for us. We don’t get to just deal with the problems of a budding romance, it comes with having to change our conceptions of ourselves and dealing with homophobia and the politics of it all.
Juls is so introspective and has so many other priorities, it may be easier for her to have given it a think and gone, hmm, okay, I see. Val, her family’s far more image- and status-conscious. Even if she herself isn’t as much, it’s going to mean a lot of things for them and her. And she’s so bad with keeping things in, how quickly did she go and tell Guille! And even the late night talk with Lucia about love. Whatever shift this means for her, it’ll have to come out, and it’s going to be super messy.
During the car scene, am I the only one who thinks val purposefully left the toiletries bag so she can be alone with juls?
Well, first she takes along only Juls to buy groceries and then is able to somehow tell that one bag among so many is missing…you may be onto something there, anon. Hah, if so, clever girl. And smitten. Orchestrating that for a few moments alone. She hardly could have expected Juls would kiss her and things would escalate like that.
can we shoutout to the costume dept gay who put valentina in a “more than friends” shirt and then had juliana wear a gd denim vest over a rainbow shirt… doing god’s work truly….
We can and we should!
Val thinking, I’m going to sleep in the same bed as my friend who I almost kissed, I usually wear gray jammies or sweats to bed but what should I sleep in tonight……got it.
And denim over a rainbow and wearing jeans. Lest we forget, during her mom’s ordeal of being kidnapped and then shot and then threatened some more, what the real plot was. 😛
Hey, can you tell me when Amar a muerte ends, if you know? I read somewhere that Barbara Lopez leaves and that the series ends in March but I don’t know spanish and I may have understood it worng. And if it’s okay, can you tell me everything new you know about the series?
From @kchrystle1:
Okay, I’m gonna have to throw this out to other people, because I have not been following the BTS and don’t know anything about that. I know–I heard and could be wrong–that it was 87 episodes, which would, given that we are 55/56 along, line up with early March as the end date. I would assume that Barbara Lopez would stay on the show till the end so if you’re saying she leaves part way through, that is pretty weird.
The show finished filming a couple of months ago, all the actors are aware that if they get a second season they would start filming in summer I think it is both Maca and Barbara have said that they would love to do the second season so none of them would pull out of the project but nobody knows if they would have it or not. As far as we all know based on pictures of the last couple of days of filming Juliantina have a happy ending
Thanks!
I’m just thinking about if Val is actually Juls’ first kiss ??
…it’s possible, unless I missed it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first kiss than with someone really kind and lovely who you really like in a pool surrounded by flowers.
I mean, it’s not ideal that it happened while her mom was kidnapped but she should have thought of that before being a telenovela character!
Ya know, I wonder if Juls has been aware of their mutual attraction longer than Val has. Val is def more a “runs on instinct” type and during their first kiss and the almost-kiss at the party she seems to be just going with her gut while Juls seems like she realises what’s happening. Like you can SEE her thinking in the pool while Val leans in, and from her reaction at the party she knows what Guille almost walked in on. I wonder if our reserved girl was just waiting for Val to make a move.
Hmm. You’re probably right there. I think in the time leading up to Guille’s party and the almost-kiss, she’d been more aware of her own feelings and thus able to look at their whole dynamic through that lens, probably getting all kinds of confirmation while wearing that dress, lol. While Val was distracted by, to name a few things, Lucia’s kidnapping, fighting with Eva, Lucho, alcohol, drugs. And then that flipped around when Juls was distracted by her mom’s kidnapping/shooting and Val was the one who was able to concentrate on them. After Guille’s party they both had flashbacks to the almost kiss and Juls’s reaction was openly giddy while Val’s was shaken.
But you bring up an interesting point. Would Juls have never made the first move herself? Going back to her insecurities about her place in Val’s life, is this something she felt Val had to lead, to confirm her interest OR was this just her natural reluctance to put herself out there OR just the fact that they both needed to be in the same place? Perhaps all of that. A moot point, lol, since Val did indeed make a move. 😀
