It was a bad idea... #mafin

Some incorrect quotes from our favorite primas

[scentedflowersong]

So, are we not gonna talk about the Fina Valero effect?

Doña Marta de la Reina went from being so nervous about intimacy she couldn't even undo the buttons of her own shirt....

... to fucking pinning her (ex)lover to a wall. What an absolute queen 👑

"Good afternoon, doña Marta..."

Favorite Marta and Fina Moments - Part 91 Sueños de Libertad

[my-little-random-world]

Marta: No, Andrés, wait. It’s ridiculous that Jesús knows the person who can hurt me the most in the world, and... and you don’t. Andrés: Marta, you, you’re scaring me. No, really, if you don’t want to tell me something, don’t. Don’t worry, okay? Marta: I’m going to tell you because I love you. And because with Jaime, I learned that sharing secrets with someone you know who loves you too is a good thing. Andrés: I hope I’m up to the task. Marta: Ah, I don’t even know where to start. You see, I’m not the person you think I am. Andrés: What does that mean? I don’t understand, Marta.

Marta: It means I’ve fallen in love with a woman. And she’s fallen in love with me. Andrés: Well, so... Marta: Well, it just happened. I wasn’t looking for it, I assure you. That’s why I feel like it’s... that it’s true love. For God’s sake, say something! You’re killing me with your silence! Andrés: I admit I have a lot of questions to ask you, but I’ll sum it up in one, okay? Are you happy with her? Marta: I’ve never been this happy in my life. Andrés: Then there’s nothing more to say. There’s no time for you to answer all the doubts that are running through my mind. Marta: Thank you. Andrés: Thank you for trusting me. You have all my support. You know I’m a big advocate for forbidden loves. In fact... Marta: In fact, you lead by example? Andrés: Marta, there’s something else. Maybe I’m being a bit reckless, but do I know her? Marta: Of course you know her... it’s Serafina Valero. Andrés: Our Fina? Marta: For God’s sake, how embarrassing. Seriously, with how sensitive and observant you are, you hadn’t noticed? Andrés: Sorry, but what’s happening between you two goes far beyond my sensitivity. Marta: Well, what’s forbidden is forbidden for a reason. We can’t exactly shout it from the rooftops like... like we’d like to. Andrés: Yeah. Come here. Marta: You’ve got such a big heart. What would I do in this family without you, hm?

-Next Scene-

Fina: Good afternoon, Doña Marta. Marta: Fina... Fina: What’s wrong? You look so serious. Marta: Well, more than serious, I think I’m confused, to put it one way. Fina: Why? What happened? Marta: I was talking with my father. Fina: With your father? About what? Didn’t you make it clear to him that you only wanted to deal with work matters? Marta: Yes, well, he made me an offer that has nothing to do with work, honestly. Fina: An offer? Marta, my legs are shaking just thinking about it. Marta: He wants to buy me a house in the Montes de Toledo. Fina: A house in the mountains? Marta: Yes, a little house with a garden. He says it’s very close by but at the same time, uh, isolated. Fina: Are you telling me your father is trying to buy your affection and love so blatantly? Marta: I think the offer goes much further, because he emphasized that the little house is for me to live with whoever I want. Fina: Well, of course, it’d be missing more if he started controlling who you invite and who you don’t. Marta: You don’t get it. You’re not getting it. You don’t understand. He already knows that I would only go live there with you. Fina: No conditions? Marta: No conditions. Fina: Well... that’s progress, isn’t it? Marta: Progress? It’s a Copernican shift! He’s offering us a house so that you and I can finally be together! Fina: So, have you accepted? Marta: I was left speechless, honestly. I don’t know. Fina: Yeah, it’s normal. Normal that you’re speechless. I mean, knowing your father, that house could be a poisoned gift. Marta: Yeah, I... I know. But I saw him so affected by our estrangement and so sad that deep down, I want to believe it’s not some Machiavellian plan. What are you thinking about? Fina: Oh, Marta, forgive me! I was daydreaming. Can you imagine the two of us living in a house in the mountains, away from everyone and everything? Just you and me. Can you imagine? Marta: You know, for so long I convinced myself that it was never going to happen, that now, with it so close, I’m terrified. Fina: Well, that makes the two of us. Marta: So, what do I do? Do I accept? Fina: I don’t know. He’s your father, Marta. It’s your decision. Marta: Because if I’m wrong, it might end up being one of his tricks. Fina: Yeah, it could be. But you know him better. All I can tell you is that whatever you decide, I’ll be here to support you.

I think I'm obsessed with doña Marta's left profile. She's perfect, I'm saying.

Creo que estoy obsesionada con el perfil izquierdo de doña Marta. Ya digo yo que es perfecta esta mujer.

[mevuelvelocatuboca]

The scene we deserve should go on with Marta continuing to undress Fina and all of that comes with it.

Closed doors and no interruptions.

#Doña Marta, what are you doing?

#Fina Valero, you know I can't resist you!

[nerdishpursuits]

I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pero que atrevida usted, doña Marta 😜

[lgbteca]

First time I saw the scene I had issues with the perceived lack of passion. They have been building the tension between them and I tought that the most evident way of resolving the conflict was with passion. It was not. It was with reason.

Revisiting the scene after taking all my expectations out of the equation gives me back its beauty. Do I wish it had been argued a little more? Yes. Do I wish Fina had allowed Marta to explain herself better? Yes. But, as far as it goes, the scene has everything that we need. Fina's authority, which will always have to be the pillar on which Marta rests. The confrontation of Marta's fear. Reminding her of how things were before Jaime arrived and how they can be again now that he is no longer an obstacle. Marta's inability to deny her love for Fina. And Fina, always Fina, the wonderful Fina who wants to be happy "pese a quien pese". The way she enters the office, a woman with a mission, and the way she controls the whole situation is admirable. There could be no passion here. There could only be reason. Marta was too fragile for that fire and Fina, knowing her, loving her, offered her the promised cariño with which to fight fear.

Passion will come and it will be very interesting to see how they return to each other's skin. How long will Doña Marta resist? Fina won't make it easy for her...

From the conversation with Jaime, I liked that Marta mentioned fear again. It will continue to exist and I think the interest of the plot from now on will also lie in seeing how Marta masters it and overcomes it.

I think our initial disappointment with the scene is linked to the need for emotion after so much suffering. But, thinking back, all the difficult conversations I've had about love - some that have determined the future of relationships - haven't ended in bed. After conversations like that and fights like that, there's a process of rebuilding that has to be done, of getting closer and of discovering the other person again. Someone said on Twitter that this was the start of a new relationship for Marta and Fina. I like the idea and I especially like the fact that this implies a new period of mutual seduction.

Things about today’s episode as I’m watching it:

1. Marta’s face when everybody’s welcoming Jaime and she is trapped there with them

2. Marta and Jaime actually look like they genuinely get along?

3. Marta taking Jaime to the shop straight away so that Fina knows what’s going on as soon as possible

4. Fina’s face and Marta’s caress on her back

5. Guapa mi Fina y guapa mi Carmen

6. Y un cojón va a irse la doña de travesía con el marinero!

[thecirclesquare]

I’m still thinking about how Marta threw in “tu boca” while listing the things she loves about Fina. And then thinking about how flustered she was when she wiped the Suiza crumbs from Fina’s mouth. La Doña is in love, but she is also in lust, and I appreciate that.

Diablo Ballena

Diablo Ballena, also known as the Moster of Lake Tota, is a creature from Colombia. According to the earliest sighting, described by the conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, the Diablo Ballena is a black fish, larger than a whale, and with the head of an ox. It has also been described as "a monstrous fish", "a black monster", "the Dragon", and as a "divine animal archetype".

In 1676, the Colombian priest and historian Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita, presented his General History of the Conquest of the New Kingdom of Granada: the SCRM d. King Charles II of Spain and the Indies, as requested by the Bishop of Santa Marta. In it is this statement on the Diablo Ballena:

"Quesada says that in his time, trusted persons and the Indians affirmed that it was the devil; and for the year six hundred and fifty-two, when I was at the place, Doña Andrea Vargas, lady of the country, spoke about having seen it.”

In the book The Journey of Gaspard Théodore Mollien by the Republic of Colombia in 1823, Mollien describes his plan to visit Lake Tota, and “the evil character inhabits its depths in dwellings”. He goes on to say that there was “a monstrous fish can be seen only briefly”.

Another account comes from the book The Pilgrimage Alpha for the northern provinces of New Granada in 1850-1851, in which Colombian writer, politician, teacher and journalist Manuel Ancízar talks about a similar creature in Lake Tota, calling it the “freshwater devil”.

There are also references to this creature from the Muisca, an indigenous people and culture of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense, Colombia, that formed the Muisca Confederation before the Spanish conquest. Stories of the mythical origin of Lake Tota mention that “Monetá", an indigenous priest, was preparing the "already extensive and powerful Muisca Confederation" to "exorcise the cruel and evil spirit, Busiraco" in the lake. A ceremonial spell was performed against the Busiraco, of Diablo Ballena, in hopes to resolve a summer and water shortage believed to be caused by the cryptid. It should be noted that there is a difference in description from the Muisca, claiming the it is, in fact, a large black snake rather than a fish.

La tiendita de DOÑA MARTA

“La Tiendita de Doña Marta” es el primer webcomic de Plétora Network, creado con el objetivo de ofrecer una experiencia narrativa única y envolvente.

[my-little-random-world]

Isabel: Doña Marta, Miss Fina Valero. Marta: Tell her to come in. Isabel: Right away. Fina: Well, well, well, Marta! The private sale was a total success! You should have seen Carmen; she was walking right up to the clients as they passed through the door. Marta: I know, Astrid Madariaga just called me, all excited, to tell me about it. Fina: They cleared everything out, huh? Marta: What great news! Fina: And why didn’t you come by? I’ve been waiting for you all afternoon. Marta: Because I had to take over my new position. Fina: What new position? Marta: You’re looking at the new director of Perfumerías de la Reina. Fina: What?! Are you serious? Marta: Yes! Fina: What?! Marta: My father removed Jesús and offered it to me. It all happened so fast, which is why I couldn’t tell you before.

Fina: But, but congratulations, right?! Congratulations! What wonderful news, honestly! Because... because it’s good news, right? Marta: Yes, yes, yes. I’m on cloud nine. And for my father to have trusted me... Fina: But does that mean...? Marta: That we’re smoothing things over. Fina: Oh my God, Marta! You have no idea how much you deserve all of this, truly. You’ve fought so hard to get here. You’ve had to break down walls that your brothers, just by being men, can’t even imagine. Marta: I won’t deny that. Fina: And... and what about Barcelona? Is the move still on? Because I doubt your brother will take long to expose those photographs if you don’t step down from the position. Marta: That’s not going to happen. Fina: Why? Marta: Because my father destroyed the negatives. Fina: Are we out of danger? Marta: The nightmare is over. Jesús can’t hurt us.

—Next scene—

Marta: We no longer have to run, and you can stay by your father’s side until his last breath. That’s what you wanted, right? Fina: Yes, yes, yes. Marta: Does that sound good to you...? Fina: Of course, of course it sounds good to me. I felt so guilty about having to leave him. Marta: Well, now nothing and no one will stop us from continuing our lives here. In fact, now with my new position, I’ll make sure no one bothers us in the colony. What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy? Fina: Yes, of course. Of course I’m happy. I’m really happy... But in Barcelona, we were going to live together in the same house and... that’s it, it’s fine! I was excited about it, but it’s fine. Marta: Fina... Fina: No, don’t “Fina” me, Marta. You just said it yourself. Here, we’ll each go back to our own lives, each in our own place. Marta: We’ll find a way. Just last night you were sleeping at my place. Fina: Your place, but in the downstairs rooms with my father, because I thought those were the last days I was going to spend with him. Marta: We’ll figure it out, hm? The important thing now is that you and I are safe. Fina: We’ve really lifted a heavy weight off our shoulders, haven’t we? Marta: I would’ve never forgiven myself if something had happened to you because of my brother.

[blancdansnoir]

People, I can’t deal with these feelings. What should I do.

FOR GOD’S SAKE, JUST LOOK AT HER.

MARTA BELMONTE, YOU ARE WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL MY LIFE. WHY ARE YOU SO FAR AWAY.

😮‍💨
