WALKING DOWN MEMORY LANE ◆ [S01E11] Casi Ángeles. Argentina, 2007-2010.

[sparkles-oflight]

Last night I was watching Floricienta like the normal adult I am, and I'm finishing the last season. Here's some highlights of me screaming in the dms of my friend

note: she watched the Portuguese version, Floribella, so not all the names are the same so sometimes I refer to "ugly twin" or "pretty twin", for example, because that's what they were called on the show.

(also, this is auto translated by google)

[luci-hemwin-evanson]

If you liked Soy Luna, Simona, maybe even Violetta (& Floricienta obviously)

You HAVE to watch Margarita

It's on HBO MAX in latino america (they drop 5 new episodes every monday) not sure if it's available everywhere but they're uploading the episodes on Youtube as well

2, 22 y 42 para el ask de los libros <3

Hola Vivi! Gracias por el ask!!

2. what book are you currently reading

úQué fuerte que me hayas preguntado por el ask 2 voluntariamente tu también (gracias🥰)

Para no ser muy pesada porque ya he publicado la respuesta dos veces y tampoco es plan, te copio la versión resumida:

Estoy leyendo "Vox S.A.: El negocio del patriotismo español" de Miguel González. Tengo muchas opiniones, pero la voy a condensar en que es altamente interesante e informativo y al mismo tiempo muy accesible y fácil de leer. No lo he terminado aún, pero lo recomiendo muchísimo.

22: Pro or anti e-readers? Why?

Pro!!! Para empezar los libros físicos no se pueden piratear (sé que existen las biblios y las amo, pero llegan hasta donde llegan). Segundo, sabes que me cabe en mi riñonera o bolso de confianza cuando salgo de casa o tengo que pillar el transporte público? El libro electrónico! Pesa nada. Y tengo mil cosas descargadas para decidir que leer en cada momento según mi humor. Opciones infinitas, cosa que no puedo hacer con los libros físicos porque debería de cargar encima 5 o 6.

Puedes traerlo al mar o a la piscina sin temor de dañarlo. Las páginas de los libros no pueden decir lo mismo, se mojan muy rápido y ya nunca se recuperan. Y un largo etcétera. Mi ebook es mi mejor amigo, nunca falla y la batería nunca se descarga. He de decir que no es que no me gusten los libros físicos, los de bolsillo son especialmente mañosos, pero los libros electrónicos (o incluso el móvil en ocasiones desesperadas) son especialmente cómodos.

42: Which was the best book you had to read in school? Técnicamente la respuesta debería ser Marina de Carlos Ruíz Zafón porque fue una lectura obligatoria en el instituto y de todas ellas es la que más disfruté. Pero si me dejas voy a hacer trampa y a responder que para mí el mejor libro que leí fue Dos velas para el diablo de Laura Gallego. Es trampa porque no fue lectura obligatoria, el profe de castellano nos dio la opción de leer el libro que quisiéramos y hacer un trabajo y yo elegí ese por motivos obvios.

Little excerpt I deleted from Cruel Summer chapter 3:

“Um… We should, maybe, talk, right?” Ámbar said.

Simón swallowed, clearly reluctant judging by his face but resigned. “Yeah, huh?”

They both nodded their heads weakly in agreement, but neither said a word.

Then their eyes found each other again.

In a second, their lips were fused together, the paper bag falling forgotten on the floor as they lurched for each other. They were wrapped in each other’s arms, kissing eagerly; they simply couldn���t not to— the gravity was too much.

“You know—” Ámbar said between kisses, “technically— we didn’t give a deadline— to our last truce—”

“Uh huh,” Simón mumbled against her lips as he continued his assault on her mouth.

“So— technically— it still stands until we say otherwise.”

“Totally,” he breathed and moved down to kiss her neck.

“Okay, good talk.”

“Great,” he said and went back to her lips. She had zero complaints about that.

Perdon no queria comentar en el post porque en realidad se va de tema pero. Me hierve la sangre como van y hacen todo el teatro de que son latinos pero al INSTANTE que algun otro latino (y ojo que son casi siempre gente nacida y crecida en Latinoamérica contra quien arremeten) les lleva la contra, SIEMPRE empiezan con 'ya te gustaria no estar en tu pais sucio de mierda'.

Les falta el amor a la patria y la cultura que dicen ser suya. Les encanta sentirse especiales por ser latinos y los brownie points y hacerlo parte de su personalidad, pero apenas alguien los hace enojar les sale de los mas profundo del alma esa opinion muy de primer mundo privilegiado (y especialmente de los estadounidenses) de que Latinoamérica es basura, es mierda, es inservible y nada bueno puede salir de ahí.

Creo que esa es la diferencia, que hasta yo he crecido con cosas negativas muy internalizadas sobre mi país, pero ellos no solo lo tienen internalizado sino que son, finalmente, quienes se benefician, asi que porque jamas intentarían desconstruirlo o si quiera cuestionarlo? Total si se aburren o ya no les conviene ser latinos, siempre pueden volver a ser los gringos limpios y civilizados

Yo tendria que ya estar durmiendo btw la rabia me saco el sueño

Nono tenés razón. Nos empezó a tratar de sucios y pobres al toque. QUE NOS ENCANTARÍA VIVIR EN LOS ÁNGELES O IR A DISNEY SKFJDK

[kirbyli]

' debe ser que estoy muy mimada y todos me dejan ganar, ' bromea, recuperando su semblante poco después, al no lograr aguantar el impulso de una risa que fuerza curvas en sus comisuras. la carcajada, apenas una risilla, se escapa con el golpe del peluche en su frente. ' pero supongo que podré superarlo ya que me haces testigo de tu humildad, estoy segura que fue un juego muy justo y bien ganado. ' aquello último, aunque cierto, también lo suelta como si fuera parte de la gran ironía en el tono de su voz. ' ¡así que no es necesario! ' se toma el atrevimiento de dejar caer ambas palmas de sus manos sobre los hombros masculinos, enfocando su postura en dirección a los dulces, cosa que no se fuera a devolver a los juegos, y dejando unas palmaditas sobre los mismos antes de voltearse y partir en dirección a los dulces. ' dime de qué sabor te gustan. ¡no! déjame adivinar. ¿de cereza? ¿de sandía? tienes toda la pinta de alguien a quien le gustan los caramelos de coca-cola. '

quejas y accionar femenino le roban una corta risa en lo que se acerca hasta el encargado del juego para reclamar uno de los peluches como su premio. lo guardará bien como recuerdo de su victoria sobre la cygnus. ' no soy tan tonto como aparento, ' sabe que no tiene no una pizca de tonto (se lo han dicho, además), pero es más divertido actuar como que sí. ' por supuesto que no me conformaré con un dulce ' se atreve a usar el oso de felpa para darle un suave golpe en la frente a la más baja, jugando. suspira dramático al final antes de emprender caminata en dirección al stand mencionado, esperando que la joven lo siga. ' qué mala perdedora resultaste ser...— ¿qué te hice yo además de tener mejor puntería y ser tan lindo? ' esta vez es él quien deja caer los hombros en un gesto derrotado. ' tendré que ganarte de nuevo '

No todo el mundo puede tener la suerte de estar con una mujer complicada.

Suerte sí, porque las mujeres difíciles son como el agua limpia de una cascada, son fuertes, brillantes, sinceras. Las mujeres difíciles no se conforman, pueden ser tan crueles como el diablo y adorables como el más bello de los ángeles. Huyen a menudo, se enfadan y aveces gritan sin control pero siempre te miran a los ojos... siempre. Son difíciles porque son inteligentes, muy inteligentes, incontrolables . Tienen los ojos casi siempre tristes, casi siempre felices, casi siempre las dos cosas. Saben amar, pero lo que se dice amar, amar fuerte, sin límites !!! ,no puedes detenerlas cuando aman, como no puedes detener una tormenta cuando llega. Y es lo que hay,,,,,Estar al lado de este tipo de mujer es vender tu alma al diablo, significa abrazar la locura, porque estar loco es lo que te hacen sentir. Luego miras atrás y piensas que tal vez sin ella habrías estado mejor, más tranquilo, mas sereno, quizás si , quizás no ... Pero con ella sentirás la vida y después de eso sin ella querrás morir !... Hay quien abandona a este tipo de mujeres, quién se va.... pero puedo aseguraros que nadie las olvida... porque son terriblemente hermosas, complicadas e irremplazables. Yo diría que son edición limitada, así de simple.... Creo que todos somos el manicomio perfecto  para alguien que está dispuesta a disfrutar de la locura...😉

FINALLY, 💥 𝑯𝑨𝑽𝑶𝑪 NEWS, FROM DIRECTOR 𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗛 𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗡𝗦 👏🏻

Today the reshoots that will complete the film began! I don't know how long they will take 🤔

This car scene looks like one they did with 𝗧𝗼𝗺 and he was inside, so he must be around there 👀

Which makes me think, then why couldn't 𝗧𝗼𝗺 attend the 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 premiere in Los Angeles and did almost all the interviews by video call, if the reshoots didn't start until today? 😅

I don't understand it, but well, at least now we know where he will be and that, if we don't see him in new photos, it's because he's busy with filming 💖

And by the way, 2024 is having a lot of 2021 vibes: around this time they were starting to film 𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒄, in July I'm going to the same place on holiday, they're going to release a new 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎 film in October... 😮

⠀⠀⠀⠀

POR FIN, 💥 NOTICIAS DE 𝑯𝑨𝑽𝑶𝑪, POR PARTE DEL DIRECTOR 𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗛 𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗡𝗦 👏🏻

¡Hoy empezaron las regrabaciones que completará la película! No sé cuánto tiempo llevarán 🤔

Esta escena del coche parece como una que hicieron con 𝗧𝗼𝗺 y estaba ahí dentro, así que él debe estar por ahí 👀

Lo que me hace pensar, ¿entonces por qué 𝗧𝗼𝗺 no pudo asistir a la premiere de 𝑩𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒍𝒂 𝒍𝒆𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒍 𝒂𝒔𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒐 en Los Ángeles e hizo casi todas las entrevistas por videollamada, si las regrabaciones no empezaron hasta hoy? 😅

No lo entiendo, pero bueno, al menos ahora sabemos dónde estará y que, si no lo vemos en nuevas fotos, es porque está ocupado con el rodaje 💖

Y por cierto, 2024 está teniendo muchas vibraciones de 2021: por estas fechas empezaban a rodar 𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒄, en julio voy a ir al mismo sitio de vacaciones, van a estrenar una nueva película de 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎 en octubre... 😮

WALKING DOWN MEMORY LANE ◆ [S04E40] Casi Ángeles. Argentina, 2007-2010.

[yurnu]

en Deadly Sin au va a pasar la pelea del hotel pero esta vez con eva en lugar de Adam?

||🔱👑 Deadly Sin!Adam AU👑🔱||

Ocurrirá. Pero ella no morirá ya que Adam intervendrá antes de que Niffty haga su ataque furtivo.

(Escena)

Eva salió del cráter en la que había estado postrada, su expresión era de pura ira mientras que miraba a esos inmundos y repugnantes pecadores.

Eva: ¡USTEDES MISERABLES HIJOS DE PUTAS!— comenzó a despotricar— ¡USTEDES NO EXISTIRÍAN SI NO FUERA POR MÍ! ¡SALIERON DE MIS PUTOS OVARIOS!—Gritó con rabia—

Los residentes la miraron con una cara llena de indiferencia o algunos rodaban los ojos.

Pero de repente una enorme y gruesa liana verde salió detrás de Eva. Todos miraron sorprendidos la repentida entrada de dicha planta, la cual estaba sosteniendo a Niffty que tenía una mirada loca y hacia amagues de apuñalar al aire con una de sus agujas.

Eva se dió cuenta que estaba a punto de morir por esa enana.

— "Sabía que tu hija era una berrinchuda. Pero no sabía que sería hasta el grado de querer casi irse a una puta guerra contra el cielo"— una voz ronca resonó por el aire. Los ángeles exterminadores y los pecadores miraron hacia el origen de la voz—

Caminando hacia ellos con un caminar tranquilo se encontraba un enorme sujeto. Sus patas de carnero estaban cubiertas por un holgado pantalón grisáceo, dejando al descubierto su torso de un corto pelaje rojizo oscuro. Su cabellos castaños enmarañados y cubiertos por pequeñas flores amarillas parecía desprender pequeñas bolitas luminiscentes naranjos. Sus enormes cuernos curvos dorados brillaban con el cielo rojo del infierno.

Su rostro cubierto por su máscara los miraba con desprecio con sus cinco ojos rojizos.

Lucifer: Satán... —murmuró Lucifer. De todos los pecados capitales que el mismísimo diablo que pudieron aparecer, tuvo que ser él.—

No por nada siempre confundían a Satán con el diablo en las interpretaciones bíblicas o signos de invocación. Ese pecado tenía más poder que él y había hecho un sin fin de atrocidades por los contratos que los mortales firmaron para obtener lo que quisieron.

Adam: Si sabes... Que estás a punto de enviar al puto infierno a una guerra contra el cielo... ¡SOLO POR EL CAPRICHO DE TU MALDITA HIJA!—Rugió con rabia. Su cabello castaño se transformó en una gran llama flameante, teniendo casi la forma entre la melena de un león y una flor. Su tamaño se acrecentó— ¡IBAS A ENVIAR A ESTE PUTRIDO LUGAR A UNA GUERRA SANTA POR UNOS ASQUEROSOS PECADORES!— Se acercó a ellos con rabia, con cada paso que daba la tierra temblaba bajo sus cascos dorados— ¡IBAS A CONDENAR A UN MONTÓN DE HELLBORNS POR ESTOS ASQUEROSOS PECADORES!— Movió su enredadera que sostenía a Niffty hacia su mano y la agarro del cuello. Moviendola como si simplemente fuera una muñeca de trapo—

Lucifer: Satán, déjame explicarte —lo que menos quería Lucifer era batallar contra el pecado de la ira. Sabía de primera mano lo fuerte que era ese desgraciado—

Charlie: ¡LOS PECADORES MERECEN SEGUNDAS OPORTUNIDADES!—Gritó sin miedo Charlie, parándose frente a Adam con desafío. Tratando de agarrar a Niffty—

Adam: —Resoplo por la nariz. Pequeñas llamas surgieron de ahí — No sé si eres o muy valiente, o muy estúpida—le gruño y la apartó con fuerza de su camino y se dirigió hacia Eva. En el camino lanzo a Niffty hacia los escombros —

Adam se inclino ante ella.

Adam: En nombre de los otros seis pecados capitales. Le pedimos disculpas por este desagradable intercambio con el infierno. Quiero que sepas que ninguno de nosotros está de acuerdo con darle segundas oportunidades a estas almas humanas. Nosotros mismos nos encargamos de nuestros propios exterminios y los mantenemos en áreas apartadas de nuestros hellborns y ciudades. —hablo con respeto ante la que fue alguna vez su segunda esposa. Tenía unas enormes ganas de abrazarla y besarla. Pero él era un pecado capital y ella era una ángel. No quería mansillar su pureza—

Eva lo miro con sorpresa. El mismísimo pecado de la ira era mucho más racional que el que alguna vez fue un ángel.

Eva: No se preocupe, pecado capital de la Ira. Pero los cielos sabrán de este desagradable intercambio. Aunque me aseguraré que los cielos no toque los otros seis círculos a excepción del orgullo —declaró Eva y se dirigió hacia sus soldados — ¡Nos retiramos!—antes de que alguna protestará alzó el vuelo y se dirigió hacia el portal del cielo—

Cuando todos los ángeles exterminadores se fueron. Adam se enderezó y se acercó hacia Lucifer. Parándose frente a él con orgullo y ira.

Adam: Te esperaremos en la próxima reunión. Discutiremos sobre esta... Situación —gruño y chasqueo los dedos, un portal se abrió detrás de él. Se adentro a dicho portal. Llendose del anillo del orgullo —

Lucifer se pasó las manos por el cabello con nerviosismo, estaba jodido.

Muy, muy, jodido.

Mi Primer Día Sin Ti | Enzo Vogrincic

Estás borracha por las calles de Madrid y no puedes dejar de pensar en Enzo.

Este es mi primer día sin verte. Camino por las calles de Madrid, borracha, son las 21:00 de la noche. Desde Malasaña hasta Niño Jesús, mis pies ya no pueden más. Lo único en lo que puedo pensar es en caminar contigo, tú sosteniéndome del brazo y guiándome. Pero estás de viaje. "¡Pff... te odio!" Te fuiste, dejándome atrás, y ahora estás en Uruguay o tal vez en Los Ángeles. Ni siquiera sé dónde estás exactamente. Sin embargo, aquí estoy yo, caminando sola, bajo estas luces amarillentas de Madrid, esperándote descaradamente. ¿Y tú? Tú estás en Júpiter. Me dejaste, o tal vez fui yo quien te dejó. ¡Ay, Enzo! Cómo te echo de menos. Mis pies duelen mientras paso por el Retiro. ¿Recuerdas al gatito negro? Está por aquí. Acabo de ver su cola cerca de la verja del Retiro.

El gato se ha ido, al igual que tú. Exactamente igual. Aquí estoy, borracha, tratando de descubrir dónde se ha escondido. Tanto el gato como tú.

Ahora estoy frente a la barra donde solíamos pasar tiempo juntos. Recuerdo lo mucho que te gustaba ese vino puro de Italia; no puedo recordar el nombre específico, pero era tu favorito. Estoy tan borracha que apenas puedo recordar algo.

Decido ponerme mis audífonos y escuchar nuestra banda favorita... ¿cuál era? Ah, sí, Radiohead, ¿verdad? O ¿tal vez era alguna banda revolucionaria de Uruguay? No puedo recordar. Optaré por un poco de Charly García, ese álbum "Bancate Ese Defecto", ese mismo.

Enzo, ¿estás enamorado? ¿De alguien más, supongo? Porque te fuiste sin decir adiós. Solo dijiste: "No puedo seguir contigo". Y así, puff, te fuiste, como aquel gato negro.

Ya casi llego a mi departamento. ¡Ay, Enzo! ¡Cómo te extraño! Estoy un poco loca, o mejor dicho, borracha. Ya estoy ansiosa por llegar a casa, servirme una copa de vino blanco y escuchar alguna canción extraña de Uruguay o algo que me haga llorar, como alguna de Silvio Rodríguez. Ojalá.

Recuerdo cuando nos emborrachábamos de vino y poníamos "Cementerio Club" de Pescado Rabioso. Tú fingías odiarlo, pero sabía que en el fondo amabas mi alma rockera. Ay, esos fueron tiempos maravillosos. Antes de que fueras famoso... Pero debo decirte que estoy muy orgullosa de ti. Has logrado ser quien siempre quisiste ser: un actor estrella, reconocido por Hollywood. De verdad, estoy feliz por ti y te admiro mucho por eso.

Estoy ansiosa por llegar a casa, mis pies ya no pueden más. Ay, ya veo la farola cerca de casa, esa luz amarillenta me hace desear ir a buscarte y besarte, pero sé que no estás aquí.

Enzo, veo una sombra bajo la farola cuando me acerco a casa, pero tengo que entrar. El portero está dormido. No sé qué hacer. Decido pasar de largo e ignorar al tipo que está fumando cerca. Sin embargo, no puedo evitar notar ciertos rasgos familiares en él. La forma en que sostiene el cigarrillo... Ay, es igual a ti. Y su altura, sus jeans doblados al final... todo me recuerda a ti.

Ignoro al tipo y saco mi llave, pero al intentar abrir la puerta, ¡se atasca! ¡Ay! No sé qué hacer. El portero debe de estar en el séptimo cielo, no me atrevo a tocar el intercomunicador. Enzo, ese tipo me está mirando. ¡Ay, no! Se está acercando. ¡Voy a gritar!

“Dejáme, yo te ayudo", dice. Ay, Enzo, tiene la misma voz que tú. Parece ser uruguayo. Pero no puedo verlo claramente. Todo está borroso, estoy borracha.

Finalmente, cuando el desconocido se acerca para ayudarme, reconozco su voz. Es Enzo. Mis lágrimas comienzan a fluir mientras lo miro con incredulidad. "Pensé que eras Enzo", murmuro entre sollozos, "lo siento tanto".

Enzo me mira con ternura y me asegura: "Soy realmente yo". Me acompaña hasta la puerta, y cuando finalmente lo veo claramente, la realidad golpea con fuerza. Es él, mi Enzo. No puedo contener las lágrimas mientras le explico lo mucho que lo extrañé, lo confundida que estaba y lo siento por haberlo malinterpretado.

Él me abraza con fuerza y me susurra palabras de consuelo. "Estoy aquí, cariño. Todo está bien", me dice mientras me acaricia el cabello. En ese momento, sé que todo estará bien.

[hide-in-imagination]

Alright, I'm gonna talk about Margarita and why many viewers prefer Marrey over the main couple because the first season of Margarita just ended and I need to cope somehow.

Fair warning, this will be long, full of spoilers, rants, memes, and some references to Soy Luna because I can't help myself.

Okay so, just to give some context for whoever hasn't watched this show and came upon this post by coincidence: Margarita is a show by Cris Morena (same as Casi Ángeles) and works as some sort of continuation/spin-off of Floricienta because it follows the life of one of Flor and Maximo's children: Margarita.

The thing is, Margarita doesn't know she's Margarita, daughter of Flor and Max, because when she and her brothers were babies, some military man took over Krikoragán (the country Flor and Max ruled, yeah, they were royalty) and so everyone had to run for their lives, basically. Margarita grew up as an orphan because Cris Morena loves orphans, is obsessed with orphans, she can't not have orphans in her shows.

Anyway-- The main couple of the show, which is obvious from day fucking one, are Margarita and Merlín, who happens to be the son of the military man who dethroned Flor and Max lolol

Now, I know this sounds like epic romance, like, the daughter and son of enemies falling in love, blah blah blah. It could have been that way-- If Merlín wasn't so fucking stupid.

Cause here's the thing: Merlín is not a bad person, okay? He actually feels a lot of guilt because of how his father took over the country and basically destroyed Florencia's and Maximo's lives (who btw are M.I.A), so what does he want to do? He wants to marry the exiled princess Margarita as a way to return the throne to them. Noble, right? Sure. The problem is that, as I said, the real Margarita doesn't know she's Margarita. Instead, there's been a fake Margarita walking around all these years (who was tricked btw, she doesn't know she's a fake, she truly believes she's the princess), who everyone calls Daisy.

If you're thinking "Oh, this is giving Ámbar is season 2 when Sharon told her she was Sol Benson so no one would find out it was actually Luna" you are absolutely right, it's pretty much like that. The only difference is that Sharon was already rich before this; in this case, Delfina, Margarita's aunt, needed to lie and say she had found the real Margarita so she could access the fortune.

Anyway, moving on. The thing is, the show starts and Merlín is immediately going after Daisy and flirting with her, because again, he wants to marry her so he can give her back Krikoragán's throne. But at the same time, he and Margarita kinda fall in love at first sight (cause remember, they're the main couple of this show), so he's also seeking Margarita all the time and flirting with her.

So, we're not up to a great start, because it's literally episode 1 and this guy is already playing around with two girls at the same time. And listen, this could've worked, okay? Like, I get it-- He loves Margarita but because of his honorable desire to return the throne to the exiled princess, he has to go after Daisy, even if he doesn't want to. This really could've been a conflict of Love vs Duty, and it would've been fine... but. this. BITCHHH sdjkfnsdkdf.

I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD, MERLÍN IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!!! The number of times Daisy asked him if he had feelings for Margarita and he lied in her fucking face!! Even after Daisy finds out that he wants to marry her to return the throne to her, HE STILL INSISTS THAT THAT'S NOT THE REASON WHY HE WANTS TO DATE HER, HE STILL INSISTS THAT HE TRULY LOVES HER, EVEN THOUGH HE IS GIVEN 94823489 OPPORTUNITIES TO SAY THE TRUTH. And what reaaallly annoys me is that Margarita wants to tell Daisy the truth, because she's her friend. And keep in mind that at no point does Merlín stop flirting and seeking Margarita out, nonono. So, of course, our girl Margarita is like "If you say you like me so much and neither of us can stop feeling this way about each other, then we have to tell Daisy, because otherwise, we're just going to hurt her."

And you know what really annoys me? That Merlín agrees. He agrees, and he tells Margarita yeah you're right let's do that, they had an AGREEMENT-- But guess WHAT? Later that day, Margarita finds out that he didn't tell Daisy ANYTHING. In fact, I think he told her again that he loved her for real, u know, like a LIAR, and Margarita is like ??

"Bitch, didn't we agree we were going to tell the truth?" and Merlín is like "Nah, sorry, babe. I still love you tho." LIKE THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR HE IS.

Listen, when I tell you Daisy sat them both down and literally ASKED THEM, 100% sincerely and with no ill intent, if they had feelings for each other because if so she would step aside, AND MERLÍN STILL LIED. FUCKING BITCH.

This could've been so different if Merlín actually tried to fall in love with Daisy. Like, if he told Margarita "I really like you, but because of duty, I have to be with Daisy" and stopped flirting with Margarita and actually focused on Daisy. Like, of course they would still yearn for each other secretly, but that would be the fun angsty part of it that would make all of us ship it. If we saw Merlín really try to follow duty but being unable to let go of his love, and eventually Daisy realizing this too, that her friends are in love with each other, and freeing Merlín from his responsibility toward her so they can be together. IT ALL WOULD'VE WORKED OUT FINE. Especially considering that Margarita is the real princess, so when that secret came out, Merlín wouldn't have to choose between duty and love because he could marry for love.

But no. They had to make him a detestable cheating liar. Because, do you think his history with lies ends there? NONONO, MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD, SIT DOWN, THERE'S MORE!

Eventually, Daisy doesn't believe his lies anymore (GOOD FOR YOU, GIRL) and is heartbroken but totally breaks up with him. And you, as a viewer, would think "Oh, okay, so he can be with Margarita now, there's nothing stopping them--" WRONG. Because then Petra shows up: Merlín's arranged betrothed. And Merlín makes eyes at her and seeks her out. And, okay, to be fair, he wanted to convince her to renounce her titles of nobility along with him, but did he need to make eyes for that? Debatable. Anyway, that's not even the main issue. The problem is that Petra somehow CONVINCES HIM to pretend to be ENGAGED FOR REAL, OUT OF LOVE, and show it to the world in a LIVESTREAM, so that they can later on renounce of their titles before the wedding and therefore making it a much bigger scandal internationally than if they just announced it on a regular Wednesday.

And since Merlín is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, he AGREES TO THIS!!! This stupid, unnecessary plan!!!

And, of course, for this plan of theirs to work, they have to keep it a secret that the engagement isn't real, so Margarita is none the wiser. Merlín, for once, actually wants to tell her the truth, which would be okay I guess, if it weren't because the main reason why he wants to tell her is because MARGARITA IS DATING SOMEONE ELSE.

Please, picture this for a second. Margarita has been led on and then disillusioned by this guy for like two months by now. Eventually, she decides that enough is enough and she needs to find a new love (GOOD FOR YOU, GIRL). She does find a new guy to fall in love with, who also falls in love with her, and they start a very cute relationship, and then, THEN, THIS FUCKING COACKROACH, BLOODSUCKING PARASITE, has to come SEEKING HER OUT AGAIN because he just can not fucking let her be happy, I swear to god!!

So Merlín goes after Margarita, desperate to tell her that the engagement to Petra isn't real, tells her to keep the secret, and also that he loves her, and that he knows she loves him too, so they have to be together, and she can just forget about her boyfriend because she obviously doesn't love him like she loves him either way.

And listen. Again. This could've worked under different circumstances. If Merlín was somehow forced to pretend to be engaged to Petra for some reason or another, or if he was dating Daisy for real, like I said in the previous scenario, but seeing Margarita with someone else finally made him realize that he couldn't choose duty over love and so he begged Margarita to be with him, it would've been fine. I mean, still shitty for the third-wheel guy, but as an audience, we would've supported it, because they're the main couple and he's the main guy and we want them together.

But NOOOOO because Merlín is literally only doing this out of selfishness!!! I mean, let's keep in mind that the whole world really believes he's really engaged to Petra, and they have to keep it that way for their plan to work. So, when Merlín seeks out Margarita now, telling her that they love each other so they have to be together, what is he really offering her? He literally can't offer her more than dating in secret from literally everyone, because otherwise, his plan with Petra would go to hell. And did he ever consider that Margarita might not be happy with that??? To be his dirty little secret?? Like- she's already dating this other guy, who wants nothing more than to make their relationship public because he really likes her, and Margarita is supposed to set that aside for... secret kisses behind closed doors with Merlín??

No wonder Margarita tells him no. MORE THAN ONCE. And she tells him it's too late now because she's with someone else.

BUT DOES THAT STOP MERLÍN? NO. BECAUSE HE'S NOT ONLY A MYTHOMANIAC BUT HE ALSO CAN'T RESPECT MARGARITA'S WISHES TO SAVE HIS LIFE!!

Remember when they agreed to tell Daisy the truth and he didn't? Yeah. And now Margarita wants to move on but he's like "Nah." And in future episodes, he quite literally puts her on a plane and takes her to Krikoragán with him AGAINST HER WILL !!! I---

And they wanted to make it look comical, I'm sure the idea was for it to be funny, but by this point, we're so upset with Merlín that he could cure cancer and I'd be pissed about it.

I just think it's frustrating because I know what they wanted to do, I know what the writers wanted this story to be, but I'm sorry, you wrote this guy so completely wrong that we can't even sympathize with his struggles anymore. I just don't care if he doesn't want to be prince or whatever-- cry me a fucking river somewhere else.

And here's what's really frustrating about all this.

Let me introduce you to Rey. Real name: Juan, but everyone calls him Rey. Also known as: the third guy in the love triangle. Also known for: EXCELLING AT EVERY SINGLE ASPECT IN WHICH MERLÍN FALLS SHORT.

1. Doesn't lie: Rey is very honest and direct about what he thinks and what he feels. When Margarita asked him at one point why he knew how to pick locks, Rey could've lied and make up some excuse, but instead, he honestly said that his dad is a thief, and so he taught him how to steal from a very young age, but Rey doesn't want that life. Which brings us to the next point:

2. Has a more compelling/interesting backstory: Rey starts off as one of the bad guys of the show. He's conceited, mean, and bullies the neurodivergent kid of the group to the point that he leaves the house they're all staying at (he comes back tho). At first, no one likes Rey, the audience doesn't like Rey, because we have no reasons to. BUT it all changes when we start to see different sides to him. We come to see his mean behavior as an act, an armor he puts on because in the family and socioeconomic context he grew up in (aka, thieves, thugs, the strong devour the weak, bully or be bullied) he had to be like that to survive. We see how incredibly sweet he is with his little siblings and how he works his ass off to give money to his mom now that his dad is in jail. In summary, Rey is the typical character who comes from a shitty situation and wants to escape it, be better. He sees the art he makes as a way of salvation, his ticket to a better life, and when we, the audience, see that, we can't help but support him. It's a tried and true character arc and dynamic: people always root for the underdog.

Compared to his struggles, Merlín's theme of 'I don't want to be the prince, I want to return the throne to this other girl' simply... falls short. Especially when you've got Rey's dad threatening Rey with separating him from his family if he doesn't help him in his bad deeds, and actually does separate him from his family later on in the show, much to Rey's hurt and frustration. Compared to that, Merlín's goals and obstacles seem simply superfluous.

3. He's direct with what the wants/doesn't go after two girls at the same time: Rey, being a bad guy at the start, had a thing going on with the bad girl of the show, Única (picture Ámbar for reference, except Ámbar is MUCH better, maybe I'll talk about that at some point.) Rey wanted an actual relationship with her, but Única was being hot and cold, so, Rey told her that he wasn't interested in being played with and took distance from her. Then he took an interest in Margarita, and when she asked him about him and Única, he was being 100% sincere by saying they had nothing going on anymore and he was 100% single and available, because it was the truth, not at any point did Rey continue to make eyes, flirt, or anything with Única after he took an interest in Margarita-- UNLIKE A CERTAIN SOMEONE.

And once he started liking Margarita, he was honest and direct and told her. He told her he felt some chemistry between them and he was more than interested in seeing it through, and Margarita doesn't really deny there's something there (because she likes him too), she just says it's not the right time (she's still hung up on Merlín)

Which brings us to...

4. Respects Margarita's wishes: Sure, Rey flirts a lot with Margarita at the beginning-- he gets all close, tries to go for a kiss-- and some people could say he was being pushy, but considering Margarita was about to kiss him two times prior to that, it wasn't like he didn't have reasons to believe she might want to. When push came to shove though, Rey asked her: "How long are we going to keep fighting this pull between us?" And Margarita was honest in her reply: "I like some other guy, but I do have feelings for you, I just don't think right now it's the right time. When I feel like it's the right time, I'll let you know." Rey accepted that and he didn't push-- He still spent time with her, but he didn't try to kiss her again or anything like that. He waited for her to make the first move.

And she did. Margarita was the one to initiate their first kiss, in a moment when Rey was being completely vulnerable and HONEST (he could've hid the fact that his dad was threatening him to do bad things but instead he opened up to Margarita about it (MERLÍN COULD NEVER)), and it was a great moment.

5. LITERALLY TOOK A KNIFE TO THE STOMACH FOR MERLÍN: That bad thing Rey's dad was forcing him to do? Well, he wanted him to help two thugs kidnap Merlín so they could ask for ransom, but Rey stopped the kidnapping, getting stabbed in the process of protecting Merlín. Following this, Merlín tells him that he now considers him his brother, because he saved his life.

HEAR ME OUT:

But how did Merlín repay Rey, his "brother", for saving his life?

BY STEALING HIS GIRLFRIEND.

6. Respects Margarita's new relationship instead of trying to sabotage it: Remember how I mentioned before that Merlín could not fucking let Margarita be happy with someone else? Well, this is what I was talking about. Merlín knows Margarita is with Rey and doesn't give a shit. He keeps going after Margarita, telling her they love each other so they have to be together, meanwhile, let me remind you, HE IS PUBLICLY ENGAGED TO SOMEONE ELSE. And sure, no one can 'steal' someone else's girlfriend, said person has a hand on it too, BUT considering Merlín literally put Margarita on a plane and took her to Krikoragán against her will... well, I'd say it was pretty close to stealing.

I mean, remember: Rey is direct, Rey is not up for games. Rey asked Margarita if she still had feelings for Merlín and she lied to his face and said no. Later, when he found Merlín and Margarita alone together for the Nth time, he was rightfully pissed. He told her, quote: "If you want to have two guys fighting over you, be my guest, but I don't want any part of it. I'm not interested in being in a relationship with a girl who isn't sure what she wants."

Keep in mind that Margarita told him several times to back off but Merlín did not, Rey also told him to back off and focus on his own girlfriend (RIGHTFULLY, BC WTF ARE YOU DOING FLIRTING WITH THIS OTHER GIRL WHEN YOU'RE ENGANGED?) but Merlín did not, and even after Margarita explicitly told him "It's too late, I'm with Rey now", Merlín still proceeded to take her to Krikoragán with him. He just doesn't give a shit what everybody else wants, apparently.

And, sure, let's be fair and mention that, by the time he took Margarita to Krikoragán, her and Rey were pretty much broken up-- BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE HE SABOTAGED THE RELATIONSHIP. RELENTLESLLY!!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ICONIC BEHAVIOR. All second male leads should learn to be like him, tbh.

7. Has better words of endearment for Margarita: Rey calls her Bonita (like Simón calls Ámbar, yes, we stan) and also Marbonita, which is a mix of her name and bonita, which, in case you don't know, means 'cute/pretty'.

Now let's take a look at the reverse. When Margarita and Merlín start dating in the last few episodes of the season, does Rey try to get between them? No. And he's still in love with Margarita, the show makes sure to let us know that. But he doesn't try to sabotage it in any way despite this, in fact, he tells Merlín he's HAPPY FOR THEM ????? EVEN THOUGH HE'S CLEARLY BROKENHEARTED??

MERLÍN COULD NEVER.

Meanwhile, Merlín's love declaration to Margarita right before their first kiss was: "You are the queen of garbage and the queen of my heart <3"

Which brings us to:

Seriously, who wrote this? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS ROMANTIC? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?

8. He's simply better in every way: Seriously. Name any aspect and Rey is far superior to Merlín. The only things Merlín has that Rey doesn't are 1- Money 2- The ability to make Margarita queen by marriage. But Margarita is not some social climber interested in money, so these shouldn't be important factors.

I would say Rey even has more emotional responsibility than Merlín, because even after he broke things off with Margarita and was angry at her for sneaking around with Merlín behind his back, he apologized for it ??? He was literally like "Hey, I'm sorry for being cold and rude towards you lately, I don't want to treat you like that, I'm just still hurt about what happened."

I-

AND YOU STILL EXPECT US TO SHIP HER WITH THE OTHER GUY???? BE FOR REAL !!!

Even in the final fucking episodes of the season Merlín could not stop lying. His uncle was threatening him with killing his little brother if he didn't immediately return to Krikoragán and marry Petra, but did he tell Margarita about this? NoooOoOoo. Their last interaction was him being all romantic and assuring her that this was not a goodbye, even though it WAS A FUCKING GOODBYE AND MARGARITA POINTED OUT THAT IT FELT LIKE A GOODBYE, BECAUSE HE CAN'T. STOP. LYIINNGGGG. Literally, it costs zero dollars to tell the truth, Merlín. He wasn't even threatened to keep the whole thing a secret, it wasn't like his uncle told him "Oh, and tell anyone about this and I'll kill your brother", nonono, he had complete liberty to tell Margarita what was happening, but he. chose. not to.

Margarita found out later anyway and called him, right as Merlín's plane was taking off, and you know what his last words to her were? "Please wait for me. Wait for me for your whole life."

WAIT FOR ME FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE?? MY DUDE, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET MARRIED TO SOMEONE ELSE. YOU WANT HER TO STAY SINGLE INDEFINITELY WHILE YOU SOMEHOW FIND A WAY TO EITHER 1-DIVORCE OR 2- GET PERMISSION TO HAVE A MISTRESS?

And I know this was supposed to be a very emotional moment. Merlín was crying and everything. The actor is good, don't take me wrong, we have nothing against him. But the characteeerrrr. I just can not sympathize with him anymore. He always has 49238 chances to be honest and communicate and make things less complicated, but he ALWAYS. CHOOSES. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE !!!

And I'm not saying his character should be perfect-- ALL characters are allowed to have flaws, in fact, they have to have them, otherwise they wouldn't be believable. But when the same character keeps making the same mistake over and over and over again, I'm sorry, but my patience only goes so far.

(Also, a lot of people like to point out that Merlín is 21 and playing around with two 17-year-old girls. Personally, I wouldn't criticize him for it because we don't know how old Rey is, and if later on we find out he's 21 too or something, everyone's going to have to swallow their words 😂)

Alright, so this was my rant about why the main couple of Margarita is so annoying and most people in social media are begging for #MarreyEndgame

Do I actually think Marrey has a chance to be endgame? To be honest, no. Looking at the narrative, I don't see how they could make it make sense after the ending of season 1. If the ending had been different, there could've been more hope, but with the way things are, it just makes more sense for Margarita to end up with Merlín. How could they make her end up with Rey without the viewers being genuinely confused? Because everything is set up to build Marlín. The only way to get Marrey would be to kill Merlín off (*cough* like in Floricienta season 1 *cough*). Or, I don't know, have Margarita lose her memories?? And while she has amnesia she falls so in love with Rey that once she gets her memories back she's unable to get back together with Merlín?? But I can't see the writers doing something so drastic.

Of course, they could just say fuck it and give the people Marrey even if it doesn't make any sense in the narrative. By this point, I'd be cool with that, but I don't think Cris Morena cares enough about what the audience wants to do that. She knows the story she wants to tell and she's not going to change it because some people are pissed about it. Because when you're in this industry, you learn that you can't please everyone-- Why would she try to do that now? For numbers? For money? Would it really make that much of a difference if she doesn't make Marrey endgame? Doubtful. Sure, some people will not watch season 2 if there's no Marrey, but even then, people have to be watching to find out if there is Marrey or not, so... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, this was long, so if you read all of it, I'm both grateful and very sorry kdfjns.

RIP Marrey, you were bigger than the whole sky, you were more than just a short time 🥀
