Re: wank containment area
(Anonymous) 2018-08-08 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)I have SO MANY feelings about Valenica, especially about how she's juxtaposed against Rebecca in the narrative. Valenica starts out as "the other woman": she's hot and snobby and bitchy. But she turns out to be kinda nice and kinda awkward and the Heather & Valencia & Rebecca friendship is one of my favorite things about the show, as is Valenica's scoffing and wanting nothing to do with Rebecca's ~feelings~ about Josh. I'm so salty that we know nothing about Beth! And that we didn't get to see them get Valencia's wedding planning business off the ground! I know why the timeskip was necessary but ughhhhh I wanted more.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-08 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)I KNOW, RIGHT. We didn't even get enough of Beth for me to feel like I've got a handle on her to write fic about her and that part of canon.
I kind of wonder if they were considering a Valencia/Rebecca endgame at one point, because that would have been amazing.

(Anonymous) 2018-08-08 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)Valencia is so fascinating to me too! And honestly I would have loved for the show to dig into her relationship with Beth (...I really don't care about Nathaniel, and so a lot of the second half fell flat to me)
There's a lot of comp het stuff around everything to do with her relationship with Josh, and the way Rebecca sees her through this exoticised perspective, and basically I just love Valencia a whole lot
