#she was a bitch (derogatory) in s2 but then a bitch (affectionate) by s3

[inthehausofholbein]

for the character ask thingy: i wanna say ludmi and naty (you know me) but if they've already been sent then ill go with angie maybe? :O

hmm i have a slight feeling about who this is but i cant quite put my finger on why

“why not ✨all three✨?”, my ambitious self says (also no number 10 bc i just don’t wanna answer and no number 6 bc i think i would just say yeah sure)

also this is three characters and i am a very ramble-y person, so, “keep reading”:

~ Ludmila ~

First impression of them

“She is a bitch, I am going to love her”, but also, “She is such a stereotype and will annoy the fuck out of me”.

Current impression of them

I don’t think I have or ever will connect to and love a fictional character more than her (and Ámbar from Soy Luna, but they’re very similar character archetypes). There’s just so much I love about her: her sassy attitude (more in s2 & 3, really) and how the writers still kept it as an integral part of her personality post-redemption, her extreme love for astronomy, Mechi and her talent in general, and most especially her redemption arc. Her complexity in season 3 especially is too good for this dumb (half affectionate and derogatory) show. This stupid (very affectionate) girl is so special to me.

Least favourite thing about them

As a character, how little of a character she was in season 1. The writers had nothing going on for her besides the dramatic and bratty mean girl stereotype.

As a person, obviously how terrible she was in s1 and 2. That girl did some fucked up stuff that include (but aren’t limited to): putting strawberries in Vilu’s drink bc she thought Vilu was allergic but ended up sending León to the hospital, treating her best friend like an inferior for several years and literally breaking her leg by sending a skateboard flying her way, and teaming up with Diego for a whole year to manipulate Vilu and break her heart by the end of the it and then blackmailing Diego when he said he had feelings for Violetta and didn’t want to continue with the plan (this might be wrong but my memory’s a little foggy).

I love this girl, but she did some horrible things.

Random headcanon

Post-redemption, she’s always trying to prove to everyone, especially Naty, that she’s a better person even if they tell her they know. Idk, I feel like her past is not something for her that’s easy to let go and she’s constantly worried that she’ll either “turn” mean again or people will dislike her again (that last point highlighting her fear of rejection Priscila put on her). She also has a hard time showing emotions to most people since she basically had to repress a lot of feelings bc of Priscila just being Priscila.

Uhh, that’s quite angsty, so I’ll just say that she and Naty stay with each other for the rest of their lives bc I need that hehe.

Favourite crack ship

Well... *chuckles* well...

Okay, it’s Luty, I’ve been going crazy over them lately. Even though she was inexcusably mean to Naty, I love how she secretly cared for her when she was and how affectionate towards her she was in most of s3. This girl loves her a lot but is an idiot and doesn’t know how to show it. <3

Random fact about them

She surely needs therapy after 19 years of enduring Priscila.

A song you that reminds you of them

I mean, I have a whole playlist. It’s not finished, but yeah. Though, If I had to pick one, Supernova by Jonas Blue, Charlotte OC, and Dark Heart. Come on, it’s in the name. I also think this could be about her state of mind by the time season 3 rolls around (i love angst too much).

Unpopular opinion

I don’t think there’s really an opinion in this fandom about her that is really unpopular, but I’ll just say that I don’t like how they made her a jealous girlfriend in one of the episodes in s3 where Germán and Priscila took her and Vilu to Spain. It really feels like they just wanted cheap drama and that was the first trope they thought of.

~ Natalia ~

First impression of them

“Baby, get out of there. Get away from Ludmi.”

Current impression of them

I definitely did not expect her to be as complex as she is. First of all, she is a cutie and I love how chaotic (the acting direction is very questionable, to say the least, in s1 especially) and adorable this girl is, but second of all, her storyline with leaving that toxic friendship but not completely because she cares a lot for Ludmila is- Also her telling Ludmi that "I wish I could hate you the way others do, but I can’t because I love you” but still expecting to be treated better is- HOLY CRAP

Show me the competent writers who wrote Naty and Ludmi’s arcs because, again, these two are too good and complex for this stupid show.

Least favourite thing about them

I hate how insecure she is about herself and how she just settles with Ludmi’s mistreatment of her in s1 :( 

Random headcanon

She found out she liked girls when she was quite young and didn’t tell anyone but her family for years.

Favourite crack ship

OhOhO.

Luty. This idiot has been in love with her best friend for forever. Just how she cares for Ludmi even if she was mean, realized that she can’t hate her no matter how much she tries, and still likes to be around her while still knowing she doesn’t deserve to be treated inferior. Also in season 3 when she (aside from Germán) was the only one to believe Ludmi immediately when she said she didn’t push Vilu down the stairs and when she encouraged her to go to studio despite Ludmi not wanting to, assured her no one hates her, and is very sensual with her when everyone else was apologizing- 🥺😭 It gets me every time.

Random fact about them

She seems like she has some form of anxiety, especially season 1 and before.

A song you that reminds you of them

We tend to associate Naty with sunshines and rainbows, but this sad bitch will say Birdie by Avril Lavigne. Look me in the eye and tell me it’s not her breaking away from her toxic friendship with Ludmila (also the “how can i avoid the flames from your fire?” line matches with the “shine bright like the fires that burned ya” line of Supernova and idk, that’s cool ig).

Unpopular opinion

I don’t ship her and Maxi, I guess. Though I find some of their romantic scenes cute, I like them better as friends.

~ Angie ~

First impression of them

The first time I saw her was in Caitlin Mckillop’s Violetta 2 Song Ranking video and I hadn’t watched the show at the time and therefore didn’t know Angie and Vilu were blood-related, so when it got to the clip of Algo se Enciende (when Angie was leaving), I literally thought Vilu was her favorite student and that’s why she hugged her the tightest out of the kids instead of Vilu being her niece. 🙃👐

But the first time I watched the show (ep 1), I thought she was one of the most gorgeous people i ever saw pretty sweet, though also an idiot (affectionate).

Current impression of them

I don’t have much to say about her as Ludmila and Natalia, but just know that I love her and think she deserves much much better. :)

Least favourite thing about them

I hate how she just settles for Germán, because that man never treated her right :(

Random headcanon

Jackie was her first crush and that’s what made their breakup hurt even more. (There is a fic on ao3 that’s about those two and how they dated before and yeah.)

Favourite crack ship

Pablo and Angie is my favorite Angie ship, but it’s not really a crack ship, per say. Although I don’t ship it completely, this Tumblr Violetta fandom has opened my eyes to the possibility of Angie and Jade and... the more I think about them, I get more and more intrigued??

Random fact about them

She only said yes to Germán in the finale because she was put on the spot in front of a whole crowd of people and didn’t want to ruin the good vibes of the show. It’s canon, it just is.

A song you that reminds you of them

All Too Well by Taylor Swift and Towers by Little Mix. (yes, this is Germangie related. i feel like we always associate angsty songs with Angie but hey, there’s no one else to blame but the writers :))

Unpopular opinion

Idk how unpopular this is, but although Germán should’ve recognized Angie and definitely should have backed off from her, she was partly to blame for... falling for her brother-in-law that she knew was her brother-in-law...
