i just realized that Barbara & Maca are actually over with the filming of “Amar a muerte” so that thing is in post production, and they could EASILY just forget about it, but they are out there, accepting interviews about it, raising awareness, thanking the fans, posting on social media. never, ever, have we been this lucky. i feel loved? and accepted? and cared for? and obviously, grateful? Our fierce captain and brave champion (pls publish)

Yeah, when it’s a ship like this, there’s always the extra dimension of how the cast and crew behave toward it, since this isn’t in fact “like any other ship”, it’s something where there’s a real risk of them wanting to stay away from it outside of taping it. And that it’s one of the first big ones adds to that risk, people aren’t sure how to handle it, in the show side, the media side, or the public.

Aside from just being really nice to the fans and engaging with them often, these two have been really fantastic ambassadors for something where they’re in a real position to make a difference. And I think it’s pretty nice that the network and media are seeing this wave of positive response and playing into it.

rewatching juliantina scenes crying over the way valentina burrows into juliana, in two very pivotal moments, 1. when Juliana just straight up says she wouldn’t stop the make out, and then that they’re in love 2. when waking up from their first time together, Juliana wants to leave, and Valentina can’t even handle the thought. can they stop being so soft please? i am dying

1. when Juliana just straight up says she wouldn’t stop the make out, and then that they’re in love

AND Juliana reassured Valentina that whatever they felt, it was for them and not anyone else to judge.

2. when waking up from their first time together, Juliana wants to leave, and Valentina can’t even handle the thought.

I kind of love that after their first time, their reactions are completely in character, Val being extra clingy while Juls wants to take a breather to process it all, including waking up in a romantic partner’s bed for the very first time and to the immediate threat of discovery at that. But a drowsy needy Val snuggling into her calms Juls down too and we know she can never resist her.

Now, I hope you don’t mind, but I have a few more I wanted to mention too. 

It’s clearly become a habit, a kind of safe space for Val. After the confrontation with Lucho, she just helplessly falls into Juls.

The next one is similar, born out of a desperate need for comfort, but it’s not exactly the same. I love these kinds of developing motifs in their relationship. Gift-giving, clothes-exchanging, teaching other things, handholds, playing with hair, pinkie promises. And like in real life it isn’t just plain repetition but evolving, and often something changes to give it even more significance. The pinkie promises are now part of their pact. And the neck snuggling after learning that Val loves how Juls smells? These things all add to it. That THAT’s actually her safe space.

And the thought that they fell asleep like that?

And then a really fun little bonus? Maybe this is all when it really started. 😛
