Nope, totally not sobbing being reminded of not only the parallels, but at the fact Damian has finally had a change of heart and can see how special Fina truly is.

If the first episodes of the week made me uncomfortable..these last two have been a rollercoaster of emotions.

Usually, when I watch this kind of show I cried a lot. For the impossible loves, the unfair destiny, the desire that goes beyond every social law and every rational thoughts.

Well, seeing Marta de La Reina forced to come out to her father was something that doesn't made me cry.

It made me angry and sad, made me reminder some conversations with my mother and feel all the emotions that Marta felt in those moments.

At the same time I felt the gratitude for a lot of things, first for living in this era - even with all of its problems - and not back then.

Gratitude towards all the Martas of the time, because we know that this kind of conversation has happen at the time.

Gratitude for be able to see this story, so well written and even better acted that all of us were in these scenes, suffering with Marta and having her back emotionally.

For a brief second I even thought that Damian, when he was walking towards his daughter, was going to hug her at the end. Then I remember that he is the person who had cover Jesus worst actions, didn't tell Digna the truth, blackmailed Andres and Begoña for their love and pay for Valentin's false death certificate and for a fake letter to convince his son to marry a woman he doesn't love.

And in front of him Marta have always had to do more and to be more perfect than her brothers, so - even if her "sin" really didn't hurt anyone - Damian can't allow her to be who she really is.

Instead do you know when I cried? When Marta goes to Fina's apartament to tell her everything and she can't even speak at first because when she sees her at first she admires her in all of her beauty and she thinks that maybe it's really over for them but then Fina, after the initial fear, reassures Marta like only her can do reminding her that she won't give up, she will never leave her, never, no matter what.

And they start to think and realize that they have to fight against whoever want to hurt them. Together, always together.

All of this is perfectly shown when Marta come back home and talk again with her father: she is more sure of herself, of her Love, she knows that Fina will never leave her side and she clearly verbalize this self-awarness to Damian: "it's you the one who didn't understand. We are in love and it is a clean and honest love, I don't feel that I am doing anything bad so nobody or nothing is going to separate us.

Do you want to report us? DO IT!"

With the last line Marta de La Reina get out of the room with her head held higher then ever. And I can't be more proud of her journey and to be a part of a community that shows courage every single day.

# cant wait for the talk between fathers

# but especially I want a hug between Isidro and Marta

# come here hija, I'll be your father too from now on

# but you have to treat well my Fina obviously

Capítulo 2 & 3

- Mafin rewatch (Sueños de Libertad)

Watching the de la Reina siblings is a hoot. It's all so deliciously dysfunctional. Damian's three porcelain dolls, all dressed up and filled with generational trauma. How could that not be fun to watch?! I enjoy that Marta is the action oriented one of them. The boys bicker, but she refuses to play their game, instead tries for a solution and an action forward. It’s notable that both brothers turn to her as if her agreement, her word actually holds sway. They’re already making a point of this being a man’s world, but these men, even if it’s a means to play out each other, hang on her word and give it weight.

I’m kind of sad Jesús is such a right villain, because I enjoy him and Marta together. They play off each other well and you instantly get the nuances between them, making it super easy to envision how things were before Andrés return. The way they’ve kept that business afloat, probably stood side by side against their father on a number of occasions. I feel like they’ve kept each other alert, maybe a bit too guarded, but also with a sense of mutual respect despite all of the other muddled feelings of jealousy and resentment and old-fashioned sibling rivalry. In a world where Jesús wasn't such an evil man I think this could have been one of my favourite relationships on the show, if they'd taken the time to develop it more. Especially in the way she yields to him in the beginning and how her character growth comes into play later on.

Carmen is the boss you want to have before she’s even anyone’s boss. The way she is straightforward and stands up to Marta for her own and her fellow workers sake and safety. I wish she was my workplace Union rep. She’s such a competent lady and I'd gladly line up behind. But why throw fucking caveman Tasio around her neck like a noose I’ll never understand. Though I’m getting ahead of myself, or ahead of the show at least.

I mean seriously, what’s up with that opening credit?! Of all the characters, they get a two shot. In bed. The two of them who at this point in time have nothing to tie them together. A flimsy string of connection through fathers, through work. I wasn’t here from the start, but I assume they were shipped from day one? Granted by my arguing maybe Gaspar and Tasio should be shipped too, but at least those two aren't in bed together. And no, don't enlighten me if there are people who do ship them. Some things I'd rather go through life without knowing. This would be one of those.

Lol, Luz is so no-nonsense as she saves Damian's life. “Stop praying and let me stab him with a giant needle, you rich fools!”. Her and Begona sharing the medical field and a bit of empathy with each other is nice too. An ensemble cast that is balanced between men and women seldom leave room for a lot of female friendship, but this one does. I appreciate that.

Fina establishing from the very beginning what she thinks of men, and especially the fool ones like Carmen's deadbeat boyfriend. I feel you. And I am in love with the way she throughout all the episodes to date will be used as a way of voicing what the tired lesbian feminist in all of us wishes she could say, out loud.

If trolls exist, you know like proper giant ones, the kind that can be mistaken for a mountain, covered in moss and trees and then suddenly just opens its eyes and stands up to stretch. You know the kind of trolls you think of when listening to Grieg's In the Mountain King's Hall - yeah those. I imagine if they existed then they'd sound exactly like a sickly Don Damian, like a melodic stone avalanche. That said I’ve never envision mountain trolls to sound Spanish before now. But maybe that’s on me.

Joaquín is a bit of an ass, calling Fina (and the rest of them) lazy - my eyes are narrowed. It wasn’t actually something he developed when he got on my shitlist by flirting with the secretary while having a cute as a button wife or pointing a gun at Marta. Apparently the assery was a pre-existing condition. It’s interesting though that Luis is the one talking about taking over the company, yet he still comes off as the decent one of them.

“You don’t notice the boys?”- Petra, you blonde little snake, don’t call my Fina out like that. Maybe we're allowed to know she's a lesbian, but don't flaunt it in front of the entire canteen like that. It’s kind of funny though how Fina is so clear about Luis not being her type, yet there are so many common denominators between him and Marta both in personality and in physicality (except of course the most important one in this case, their sex).

I know he’s supposed to be one of the good guys, but honestly, Andrés is a bit of a douchebag, isn’t he?! Or maybe that's a bit harsh, but he comes across as pretty smarmy. He's like what the wall behind your stove would be if anthropomorphised, kind of greasy, kind of sticky and in constant need of being hosed down. But yay for not letting the roof drop on your employees, I guess.

[ahsokazworld]

Sooooo Marta is calm towards Fina and I'd say well done 👏🏻. She gets it. Let's not further stress out my already stressed out girlfriend.

But I'm not buying it 😆, Fina is, though, so that's good.

Also ... ehhhh .... awkward family time at the De La Reina mansion. Who is Damian kidding with this 😆.

Dudes not going to undo 40+ years of shitty parenting with 1 family coffee. It had disaster written all over it.

LOVE Martas unimpressed face during that entire fiasco. Although at the start she was slightly concerned, it was about her and Fina. Don't worry Marta, I think if your father knows about you and Fina, he's not gonna go for family bonding and pleasantly set the table........

But Marta pretty much told her husband she's gay and always has been gay without using the exact words. I'd say that's pretty f*cking brave. I just wanted to acknowledge that. Marta gets some shit for not being open enough, and that's more than fair, but this was VERY open and VERY scary for her to be this honest. Let's see where it will take us tomorrow 🤔

[lgbteca]

We know that Marta de La Reina can't leave Toledo for the sake of the plot. We all knew that Barcelona would not happen, but poor Fina, how I felt for her. Even if staying is also a good plan, it doesn't guarantee more freedom or quality time for their love and even though she was really happy for Marta, she has memórias do Vietnam and it's more than natural that on a more emotional and irracional level, even if for seconds, she always feels like second choice. So Marta really has to do something about it. Sleeping in the same house is not the same as sleeping in the same bed, Marta! Wake up, girl! Don't say stupid things! Fina wants you to be her mujer! So be her mujer! (I know you try, Marta. And I know you will do well once you realise you must do better.)

I'm curious to see how they'll manage this.

I keep thinking about why they decided to make Fina freak out when Marta told her about the change in plans because of Jaime. So when I saw this scene today, my first thought was "oh, that is not over yet. This somehow relates to that..." I'm probably wrong, as I always am, but the writers never do things without intention. My masoquism allows me to believe that. That scene struck me as odd because it was not necessary, and because I still see truth in Fina's words. The same truth that her quiet disappointment spoke today. Fina also knows that they are not safe just because Marta is now CEO and under Damian's protection. She knows that if anyone has to fall, it will be her.

The plot thickens and I love it.

opiniones mías sobre house of the dragon

.

esto es irónico y hasta contradictorio con alguno de mis viejos post, pero me han gustado más las escenas de los verdes especialmente las de aegon ii y aemond el cual encuentro que es un villano divertido

del equipo negro creo que los que más me gustan son jace, baela 🧍‍♀️ y también siento que intenta retratar al consejo de renada como malos porque no confían en ella, pero siento que tienen buenas razones para dudar de ella

ahora sobre renada es un personaje confuso y contradictorio ej. le dice a damian que lo necesita porque los verdes son sus enemigos y luego ella está en modo "esta es la guerra de damian" o cuando se ve más afectada por la hoja de papel que le envía alisaint en lugar de estar enojada con los términos de "paz" donde sus hijos menores serían rehenes en todo menos en nombre, y por último cuando llora por la perdida de luke y luego está diciendo que la paz todavía es posible.

sobre ella siendo infiel, no me sorprende porque tiene una tendencia que cada vez que damian la deja, ella llena ese espacio con alguien más en el burdel con criston, en la boda con harwin, ahora harrenhal con mysaria, pero igual me decepciona que sentido tiene promocionar algo como "una gran historia de amor" "destinados a arder juntos" para que luego haya una infidelidad

damian se me hace patético y hasta siento lástima por él lol, el show establece que él quería volver a Pentos y ahora está peleando por el reclamo de su esposa/sobrina la cual duda de sus acciones u opiniones (a pesar de que tiene cierto sentido) tiene una mala relación con sus hijas las cuales han sido retratadas más como hijas de laena o nietas de rhaenys.

no sé siento que el personaje no gana nada al luchar por renada, tipo si es rey-consorte no parece tener el respeto de nadie, su hijo no será heredero y si bien su hija sería futura reina-consorte el show nos dice que ellos tienen una relación complicada, si yo fuera él tomo mi dragón voy por mis hijos (viserys y aegon + stormcloud) y me voy

I (pa Milena mi reina(?)) Y A (pa Damien <3)

𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭

Send a letter and I will respond with a headcanon about the ns/fw topic that corresponds to it!

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Siento que Damian, por más que a veces se pase de ego y todo, es un amante mimoso, no dudaría que sería de dar muchos besos en la frente, de dar caricias en el cabello y mantenerse en un abrazo, muy de piel, incluso de susurrar cosas bonitas, o cosas pendejas, para reírse suavecito, como que un poco de fluff dork.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Definitivamente Milena es una persona muy pasional, muy dominante en general, le gusta mucho la reciprocidad, ella hará muchas cosas, pero esperara que la otra persona también, no necesariamente lo mismo, porque depende mucho de personalidades. Miro a Milena muy de buscar la iniciativa, dar los primeros pasos, pero permitir que la otra persona haga lo suyo, ya si mira mucha timidez pues alv se los come (if you know what I mean) con amor. ¿Por qué pongo esto en intimidad? Porque ceder algo para Milena es sinónimo de intimidad, el hecho que ella pueda dar paso a que la otra persona le muestra cariño es parte de ello.

Cabe resaltar que si es una persona a la que no le tiene cariño ni nada, si es 100% dominante y sin esa pisca de intimidad.

[ignorant-rat-carcass]

You know when you think you can’t possibly love a character more and then she turns around and tells her love that she’s her wife…

Remember when Carmen found out and Marta wanted to end the relationship out of fear, and then Damian found out and Marta said it was all over, and then when everyone found out and Marta doubled down and told Fina she was her wife.

Marta de la Reina, boys and girls. One for the history books.

Ep. 63 | Ep. 92 | Ep. 234

[nerdishpursuits]

And this is one of the countless reasons I love chatting about Mafin with @midniteowlet: she's my very own toma a Tierra and grounds me, so I can approach things more rationally.

Upon concluding our debate of the current turn of events on the show, Mafin on the whole and their narrative? I've come to look at things as follows. The show very much reflects society as it is: a sad state of affairs where good people hurt and unsavory characters often prevail. The fact that we want everything good and wholesome to triumph at every turn? Idealistic, not realistic. Not to mention lofty expectations actually prevent one from truly appreciating the show, with all its ups and downs and winding roads. And personally, I'd like to keep enjoying it, without getting dragged down the utopian rabbit-hole.

For the most part, the representation we get is actually well crafted: Mafin feels organic, tried and true, and the chemistry between them is undeniable and thrilling. More so? Their story doesn't feel forced and thus, can be promoted to any viewership without it coming across as preachy and condescending, or having an agenda. If anything, Mafin is by far the best developed, healthiest relationship on the show. I, for one, much prefer the portrayal of good communication, heartfelt romance and overcoming obstacles together than a deluge of r-rated scenes. And honestly? We are being offered a damn good story here, even as it fails to satisfy everyone's hopes and demands (which in all honesty, it never could - at the end of the day, someone will always be disappointed)

I'm also reminded of Marta B. mentioning in a recent interview that the show is not aimed exclusively at the sapphic community. As such, it will not depict or cater to its particular needs. It's part of a larger ensemble and needs to appeal to a broad audience. And, when all is said and done, it actually manages to accomplish more with this kind of storytelling: one that's simpler, one that doesn't try to be pedantic. Ergo, they will not linger and preach to the audience. What they will do instead is allow the characters, their circumstances and actions, to speak for themselves. And they will trust they're doing a good enough job to let people draw their own conclusions. So far, I think they've achieved that: there’s heterosexual people watching the novela who love Mafin and think they’re the best couple on the show, there’s elderly people learning to be more open-minded, everyone loves Damian's character development, everyone hates Santiago and acknowledges he is a despicable lowlife etc. The show is moving the pieces along the board quite deftly and it makes for an interesting, if not always gratifying, game.

As for today's episode? There's no doubt that Marta and Fina only have eyes for each other. They're an established couple who will face anything thrown their way as they always have, as one. No mustachioed men will ever change that. Marta and Fina's narrative will never be whether they desperately adore each other. That they do couldn’t be more obvious. Their story? Ever has it been, and will continue to be, about their fight to attain freedom: freedom to live their love in a society that forbids it.

Therefore, I've reached the point where I'm not worried at all about either Santiago or Pelayo. Based on Pelayo's reaction upon learning Marta is a lesbian? I doubt he'll help Santiago in his attempt to sink Marta's ships. To me he comes across as a calculated businessman, but not a heartless one. He stands to profit more from a partnership with the de la Reina family than throwing Marta to the wolves. He also didn't bat an eye at Santiago's reveal, wasn't surprised or outraged. Which, I'll go out on a limb and say, is telling. He's either gay himself or simply plans on advancing his business / political career by securing a partner that won't demand his attention or affection. The first scenario ensures he remains socially upstanding while the second allows him to live as he pleases. To a man like Pelayo? It's a jackpot either way. Hopefully, the benefits outweigh the costs for Marta as well, should the plot move in that direction. And given all the signs? It's already halfway there.

That being said. It remains to be seen what happens to Santiago. I assume, and hope, his little ploy at denouncing Marta to the Civil Guard will cost him, dearly or otherwise. His own thirst for vengeance pushed him to make the wrong move which is, in my opinion, seeking out Pelayo. And while there's plenty of outraged cries that Marta & Fina don't need another man to save them? Let's not forget it's 1958. The likelihood of neither of them attracting a suitor, fake or otherwise unwelcome, is as doubtful as improbable. The fact they managed to successfully evade them so far? Quite the feat.

As for what awaits? Marta won't go to jail, I think, since that card has already been played. Or who knows? We might be surprised. The fear they need to instill in her requires new heights, in order for Marta to reluctantly accept another cage. Mind you, she's still trapped: as much freedom as she currently wields, Marta remains a woman whose very social status entraps her, singling her out as prime real estate. She's the proverbial golden goose, especially as dictated by the mores of society back then. Marta and Fina's shared dream of freedom remains, for now, a dream. One they've almost had at their fingertips, which makes their current circumstances all the more painful. I will say: it stings that Fina won't be the first to read Marta's journal. Undoubtedly, at some point, she will. After all, that journal is a mirror of Marta's very heart. It lays out her deepest fears, her innermost longings. It chronicles the fiercest battles Marta has had to wage with herself, her losses and triumphs, her meditations and hymns, the anguish and the deliverance of her love for Fina. To have it fall into the wrong hands? A violation of the utmost personal, a desecration of what is deemed sacred and untouchable. The diary symbolizes Marta having a safe space to call her own, one where she was allowed to embrace her true self, one that initiated her journey to freedom, her quest to rid herself of her shackles. Santiago has no honorable bone in his body and his hatred towards women, and Marta in particular, drives him to invade and vandalize her privacy, this blessed sanctuary she got to call her own. Let's see if Pelayo rises to the occasion and proves himself as a noble character. You can never have too many allies. Do I still take issue with how certain things are handled, with the inconsistencies and shoddy character work? Definitely. But I’m also able to simply sit back and enjoy. Let's see where all this goeth, shall we? Hello pain, let's go again.

[multifandominfj]

I’m over Damian, Jesús and Jamie.

Damian continues to protect his mini me, Evil Mr. Clean, yet punishes his daughter, the ONLY LITERAL GOOD THING IN LIFE…for simply falling in love?!

Jesús continues to commit numerous illegal crimes, and Damian doesn’t want to throw him in jail because “he’s the first and can do no wrong”. Not to mention he’s a fucking idiot because outing his own sister reaped no reward for his selfish gain.

Jamie has lost not only Luz as a friend, but Marta as well. He knew about Jesús knew about her relationship with Fina and how he could use it again her; didn’t even bother to say anything. On top of that, he knows Jesús is poisoning Begoña, and didn’t bother to tell Luz.

Andrés may be an adulterer, but he’s the only good man on this show at the moment.

Marta de la Fucking Reina (@ignorant-rat-carcass cit.)'s Pride has been composed by a lot of phases:

Negation when she says to herself and to Fina that she is not like her.

Doubt when she thinks about Fina all the time.

Restrained Desire when she denied the kiss in the kitchen, when she is trembling the first night in Llescas.

Fear when Fina told Carmen about them and everytime she thought that someone can discover their relationship.

Attempt to hide the obvious when Jaime asked about her love for Fina.

Acceptance of herself when she tells Fina that she could drop off everything but her.

Unrestrained desire when she kissed Fina in the shop, when she brings her into the bushes.

Recognition in front of others when she calls Fina by her name in front of Jaime, Damian and Jesus disdain.

Pride when she doesn't care anymore what his father thinks about her life's choices.

At this point I'm waiting for a freewill coming out, it would be the natural next step. She already seems on the edge to do it with Andrés before and then with Digna.

And when she'll do it then she will be at another level, all her enemies should really start to run because she will be more powerful of them all.

#I'd like a coming out with Begoña first

#or with Digna

#with a woman, in short

#i want them to team up

#then I'm still waiting for the Marta/Isidro talk
