#Betty/Daniel

[writingherhope]

The fact that we didn't even get the fake Daniel & Betty kiss when he was high in Level Seven Land hallucinating Molly really irritates me. I just wanted one on screen kiss yall. Not cool.

I'm so obsessed with your answer to this!!!!!!

I FULLY AGREE that the rest of the cast is amazing and iconic!!!!! Everyone just meshed so well together and fit into each other's lives, even it seemed like they wouldn't at times. 🥹🥰

And I agree that the show ended too soon and that we SO need a UB movie!!!!!!!!!!

As for my favorite episodes...!!!!

Of course I LOVE the entirety of 1x13, aka the all night date episode!! Like, for real, EVERYTHING about it makes me crazy and love Daniel and Betty's friendship so much!!!!!!!

For one, Betty literally QUIT her job at Sofia's magazine cos of what she did to Daniel and was so worried about him that she went over to his apartment (even though he wasn't even supposed to be there lmao)!!!!

And I loved the episode where she met Claire for the first time, which was two episodes after that. Betty needed a person like Claire in her life and I love how Claire always just accepted Betty and her entire family no matter what!!

And I also loved the season 2 plotline where Claire was on trial for Fey's murder...that was hella epic storytelling all the way through!!!

The perfume and diary pages that proved Claire's innocence?? HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

And I also like the episode where Bradford was in the hospital!! Claire breaking out of jail to talk to Betty and then how Claire went to see Bradford?! YEAH! Also the part when they came to get Claire and Daniel asked Betty to stay with his dad is so special to me cos that's when Bradford revealed that Daniel needs Betty to be in his life!! Last but not least, the very last scene of that episode makes me feel feelings...Betty placed her hand on Daniel's shoulder and then he put his hand on top of hers and leaned back into her. 🥺🤩💞

Oh, and how can I forget the one during season two when Betty went to Daniel's apartment and it caught on FIRE?!?! Loved it! #BadassBetty

Season three was so good and is a big part of what made me want to get into editing for a career. 💓💖

I loved and appreciated the aspect of Betty dealing with so many life changes between work and her family.

And it was also fun to see Willamina (the spelling for her name looks wrong, but I'm on a roll right now and don't wanna look it up lol) find love with Connor, even though he was also embezzling from Meade Publications!!

Another favorite moment for me is anytime someone from Mode came over to Betty's house in Queens. 😂💯💞 That happened more in the first season, but it was still always a good thing to see!!

Another thing I adored was Mark and Willamina's friendship!!! Some of her best one-liners came from moments when she was with him. "Who do you think canceled. Your. Subscription. To Dude Cruise Dot Com?" and "Why are poor people so cheap?" are two lines I for real think about at least twice a week!!

And don't think I forgot about Hilda's salon!!! Her character arch was so good and I was very happy that the writers and production staff did right by her character by letting her have that salon!!!!

Christina and Betty's friendship is also an important aspect that makes the show so special!!

Anyway...!!

There's other moments and episodes that mean so much to me, but the ones above are the parts that stand out to me the most!!

Oh, and before I get to Detty: Gio was my favorite out of Betty's love interests!!!!! Henry and Matt were fine at first, but then they both annoyed me. Not because I am a Detty shipper, but just because of how they were written. (And I was never a fan of Walter lol)

Ok, and so now...it's time to discuss Detty❣️❣️ 🥺🥹🤧💗💞

I totally get what you're saying about how you didn't ship them until season 4 and honestly, SAME, especially when I first watched the series for the very first time and then later when I re-watched it for the first time.

In the years and multiple rewatches since, I have come to see their friendship as very romantically coded. Like, Daniel just says things that make me go 👀🤔🧐🤨😱😍

He just had always loved Betty so much, even before he realized that he was in love with her.

And I really love how they went through lots of life things together!!! They had fights and moments where they didn't like/was disappointed in the others actions BUT they always made sure to talk things out and get back to supporting and being there for each other, no matter what!!!!

Their entire relationship is one of the best things I have ever seen on television and I definitely look up to them in regards to what a healthy, friends-to-lovers relationship looks like. 🥺🥹😭🤧💗💓💞

In conclusion, it is amazing to find another person who is just as passionate about Ugly Betty as what I am!!!!! I absolutely love how in-depth you went with this response and appreciate everything that you have said!!!! 🤩💯🔥💥💞

I JUST NOW NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE GIFS IN YOUR HEADER IS OF BETTY SUAREZ FROM THE FINAL SCENE OF UGLY BETTY!!!!!!!!!! *insert screaming cat and Kermit heart images here*

Betty is so special and important to me!! She's one of my most favorite characters ever and I love how 13 years after the series finale, she hasn't been forgotten about. 🥺🥹😭🤧💗💓💞

OMG! It makes my heart so happy to hear that you are also an Ugly Betty fan! What are some of your favorite episodes/moments? 👀

I adore Betty Suarez & Co. I do a series rewatch every year, it’s my favorite comfort show. It was canceled prematurely, and I'm still waiting for my Ugly Betty reunion movie.

I've been a huge fan of America Ferrera since "Real Women Have Curves," but Betty Suarez is my ultimate favorite of her roles. Like you, Betty is just so special to me. I'm always telling people to watch the show (many mutuals on Tumblr will attest to this 😂). I talk about the show so much you'd think it was still airing. I started a new job five months ago, and just last week, I was having lunch with one of my new colleagues, and she saw my Ugly Betty Pop figure on my desk (I commissioned it, and it's one of the best gifts I've ever given myself tbh). When she saw it, we spent half of our lunch discussing our favorite scenes. Ugly Betty is essentially my friendship litmus test lol.

Betty is my favorite fictional character of all time, no contest. But I also want to shout out the ensemble because WOW. The entire cast was incredible and hilarious. The show was a true dramedy; I was often in tears, either from laughter or an emotional storyline. Judith Light AND Vanessa Williams? ICONS. Michael Urie and Becki Newton? What a DYNAMIC DUO. Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato? PERFECTION. Eric Mabius? The TALENT. Daniel could have easily been such a vacuous character, but Eric gave him a depth that surprised me. Plus, his chemistry with America?? EPIC. I loved Betty and Daniel so much (shout out to the bridge scene in 1x13!).

I often wonder how unhinged I would have been if Tumblr had existed when the show was airing. My enthusiasm over your ask indicates that I would have been absolutely bonkers and loved every minute of it. 😆

If you're interested, this is my favorite Detty fanvid edit and my favorite Detty article. I loved their friendship through season 3 and didn't ship them romantically until about season 4. While watching the ATX reunion panel in 2016, I realized that Eric was also Team Detty, and I so wish we could have seen what happened next!

Anywho, I've rambled enough lol. Thank you so much for giving me a reason to shout about my all-time favorite character/show!! 😁💜

You know what I love about Ugly Betty? It looked like it was going to be a story of not-conventionally attractive awkward woman falling for handsome playboy Daniel but it ended up being four seasons of Daniel falling in love with Betty while she had an active love life, made loads of friends, learned a lot, built a career and eventually left the country to be super successful.

Total switch around.

And I loved that it ended with Betty being happy and successful and Daniel becoming her assistant. He’s the one making the effort to change his life to suit her.

I’m a Daniel was in love with Betty the whole time truther because what do you mean I’m on episode 2x06 and Daniel is threatening to have Henry fired because he knows he’s gonna break Betty’s heart again. Ntm this is coming a few episodes after he fired Gio after he was mean to Betty once. Like this is not normal friend behavior

Se los confieso, porque aquí estamos entre amigas y ustedes son chéveres.

La forma en la que Daniel mira a Betty me debilita las rodillas, es una mezcla de maravilla, curiosidad y renuencia, Gaitán sabía cosas.

[cherish--these--times]

Good evening. This is your little reminder that Detty is real and Daniel wrote this letter in his last MODE issue before going to London, as per the ABC website back in the day. THE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS THO-

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR A Hundred Years of Attitude April 15, 2010

A hundred years is plenty of time for a lot to happen in anything. Political powers change hands and change back again, cultural movements evolve into something completely different, whole empires rise and fall. And yet, this is somehow even truer for the world of fashion, one in which a constant state of changing attitudes is implied by the very term itself. For a hundred years, Mode Magazine has been a leader, an ambassador, a harbinger, an opponent of and a champion for shifts in the way our society sees itself, and our next issue is a celebration of that complicated legacy.

Of course, an institution like Mode cannot even pretend to the throne of molding the attitudes of culture if it were not full of attitude itself. And attitude is one thing Mode has always had in abundance. To be honest, sometimes I feel as though we at Mode pack a hundred years worth of it into one day, especially since my co-Editor-in-Chief, Wilhelmina Slater, came on the scene. Ah, but I kid...

...And yet, I don't -- the truth is, the field of fashion is one that is both fast and fierce, and sometimes you have to go through a hundred years worth of attitudes in a day to find the one that suits the precise pulse of our culture at that given point. It's an amazing and arduous process, but, to be even more honest, it's one for which I admit I am not a natural fit, one for which Wilhelmina is.

Since I've experienced so much attitude in my time at Mode, I'd like to posit an observation: One thing that is often lost in the changing of an attitude is the cause for that change. This is best understood when you consider attitudes on a personal level. I ask you, dear reader, to think back to a time when you experienced a major shift in your life. Was it an external change, something that happened outside of you, and forced a change of attitude to help you adapt to the future? Perhaps you saw a friend demonstrate a prowess that cast her in a new light. Heck, maybe it was as simple as your friend getting a makeover. Or perhaps that friend was undergoing her own life change, one in which she would no longer be present in your life, compelling you to make your own change to keep her in it, even if it were in a new context.

Just as important: Maybe the change was an internal one. Maybe you realized you were no longer interested in maintaining your status quo. Perhaps you wanted to try new challenges not only in your professional life, but also in your personal one. Or maybe one day something just changed inside you in the way you saw that good friend, causing you to want her to be more than, well, just a friend.

As you experience our One Hundred Years of Attitude Issue, I ask that you consider not only the attitudes themselves, but the causes that precipitated their change and coming to be. Often the changes in attitude that are the most powerful are rooted in causes that come from without and within. When that unusual synergy occurs, love is often the result. And take it from me: Love is the one attitude that never goes out of fashion.     - Daniel Meade

It may took Daniel four seasons to understand his feelings, but Claire fuckin' knew that Betty sooner or later will be her favorite daughter-in-law after two days max they spent together.
