WHAT THE FUCK LILITH IS IN HEAVEN!? (Charlie got her nose from her??)

Is she imprisoned there??? What's going on???

And what was it with Alastor? Who did he sell his soul to?? Lilith is in Heaven so it's most likely not her.

But awwww he grew somewhat attached to the group.

I was really holding out hope that Oisin would turn out to be at least CONFLICTED but noooooo he’s the sort of dude who steals your friend’s boathouse and insults your job and also is evil

Mind you. Marta’s only been the CEO for a week or so, if we’re considering the show’s timeline. And in the unenviable position of having to clean up after everyone’s mess. So it kinda cracks me up that but one day ago, Fina was telling Marta that she’d have patience, of course. That to love, also means knowing when to yield. When to compromise. Looks to me like that’s going to be tested.

Would Marta, on a whim, cancel their date night in Madrid, after all the planning she did and how enthusiastic she was about it? The answer is no. If anything, it must be killing her, to be letting Fina down in what feels like a sequence of failed plans together. I don’t think, for one moment, that Marta wants Fina, and their relationship, to be sacrificed at the alter of corporate interest. The look on her face, when she told Fina she cannot go, was one of profound sadness and frustration with the unjust hand she’d just been dealt.

As repetitive as this particular storyline feels, there’s also the truth that, often, things don’t go as planned. Marta accepted the reins of the company and everything that entails. Now, as the CEO, she has to answer to clients and continue to secure employment for the workers. Not to mention that, as a woman in charge, there’s even more pressure to ensure everything runs smoothly. It’s 1958: she’s going to be tested, and contested, left and right. Should anything go awry? She’ll be blamed first. Because in that kind of a social climate a woman cannot be entrusted to lead, lest the consequences be dire. She’ll be seen as either weak, or hysterical, or unprepared, or not decisive enough. She’ll be accused of lacking business acumen or of being too lenient. Even as the most prepared person in the room, they’ll always find her lacking, somehow. Marta’s life right now? It’s a walking nightmare and a hotbed of endless, bone-deep stress.

Is the situation ideal? Hell no. Marta’s is in such hot water right now. She’s basically, single-handedly, trying to keep the company afloat and save them from disaster. A disaster caused by Luis, who refused to comply with contractual obligations. Which, in turn, has landed them in a difficult situation with one of their most important clients.

But lo and behold: does anyone hold Luis responsible and drags him off of his high horse? No. Does Andres step in to help his sister? Of course not (he’s too busy chasing after his own personal interests). And so many others are just waiting to see Marta fail. The Merino who, for some misguided reason, have decided to paint a target on Marta’s back, as if she’s solely responsible for their suffering, not Damián and Jesús. Jesús himself, who is all but salivating at the thought of Marta failing, incessantly plotting against her. And countless other men in positions of power, who will want to get their way in negotiations and business deals. Marta couldn’t find herself in a more impossible situation, work-wise, if she tried.

That being said. Do I think Fina is wrong in feeling utterly despondent and like Marta is failing to choose her too? No. I think it’s perfectly normal to feel discarded at this point, to feel … invisible. But I also remember it’s only been one week or so. There’s no way Marta can assume leadership and organize it all in such a short period of time. That’s impossible. Were they both counting the minutes until their date night? Definitely. And I hate that, once more, we don’t get to see them go to the opera together, sharing much needed time as a couple. Do I think Marta needs to find better work-life balance? No doubt about it. Does she need to delegate? Yes: if only there was anyone she could delegate to, anyone she could trust. Also, let’s not forget there’s tasks she can only handle herself, by virtue of her position. To say nothing of the current impossibility of coming home to Fina after an exhausting day at the office. Which further complicates things, because they get so little time together.

In the end, patience is needed. Fina’s a bit of a powder-keg, and we love her for it, but she needs to remember her own words. Marta’s spread too fucking thin right now and she’d never cancel on her by choice. Marta herself told her she’s the most beautiful thing she has, the rest only a string of endless problems. That she’d never set them aside, if she could help it. And never willingly.

Do actions need to match words? One hundred percent. And they will. Marta is a woman of her word. We all know she wants to be with Fina just as badly. It’s just that some fine-tuning is needed, until a semblance of balance is found. That being said: they’d both benefit if Marta showed Fina, first-hand, all the shit she’s dealing with. A sort of A Day in the Life rundown. They need to find solutions together. Hopefully, they’ll do just that at some point.

At least we got a really great conversation between Isidro and Fina. And he’s right too. Fina doesn’t cease to be Fina if something has come up for Marta. She has a life too. And she shouldn’t put it on hold, but live it. Are Fina and Marta better off together, unstoppable as one? Always. But they are their own persons too, and formidable ones at that. They’ll find a way, eventually. Until then: drama galore because the show must go on.

Things will get better. And, as always, when in doubt? Marta and Isidro still haven’t had their famous conversation. So nothing’s lost. As much as Fina wants to set fire to the company right now? It feeds them all. And keeps roofs over their heads. Many people depend on Marta doing her job well. They just have to keep it together, for a little longer. The sun will shine again. And the stars too. They always do 🤗

P.s. Fina defending Jacinto? Expected nothing less from her. Let a beautiful friendship commence!!! 🥳

P.s. 1 How is a woman of Carmen’s calibre married to a troglodyte like Tasio? Make it make sense. Love may be blind but this kind of a situation never ceases to be a conundrum 😤

Karliah, knocking on Brynjolf's bedroom door: Are you decent?

Brynjolf: Not morally no, but I'm wearing pants if that's what you're asking.

Two hands meet at zenith

Nothing comes between us

Dancing like ballerinas

Under, the moonlight all night long

How these plain and simple scenes

Get painted so vividly by you

I just wanna stay with you

My friend said it gives off an "old photo" vibe. And it's so cute that in my mind from now on it's a photo taken by Fuuka after ending. EVERYTHING IS COOL, AND EVERYONE IS ALIVE, ALL OF THEM JUST CRAVE SOME SLEEP. I NEED IT SO BAD PLEAAAASE

I have a severe brain damage caused by lacking of happy endings. Like REALLY HAPPY ENDINGS. Without any twists or conventions, that bitters an outcome.

I WANT MY KIDS TO BE ALIVE AND HAPPY. ALL OF THEM. NO EXCEPTIONS.

I do love complex stories, dramatic ones especially, but come on.

I'm and old hag, and I can't stand this much hurting anymore. I want everyone to be happy with minimal loss.

Things turned out very sweet deep in my heart.

Dixi.

I was trying to process the Neil Gaiman situation into a shape that didn't hurt my brain too much, and accidentally formulated the phrase "He's the Other Mother of social justice tumblr."

Now I'm kinda' distracted by how catchy that sounds.

To clarify, it's because he was really good at fulfilling the fantasy of an idealogically pure cinnamon roll. I think we should work to be a lot more accepting of people who can't do that, and little more suspicious of people who can.

It's actually safer to accept people who don't conform perfectly to our highest standards. People Too Good To Be True are sometimes telling the whole story, but usually not.

All this talk of crackships reminds me of an old fanfic I wrote pairing Tom the boulder with the frog Twilight turned into an orange. It’s still on fimfiction.net, called “A Diamond Grove.”

Everyone else go home, this is the writer that went the furthest anyone has ever dared. the ultimate crack ship
