You know what I love about Ugly Betty? It looked like it was going to be a story of not-conventionally attractive awkward woman falling for handsome playboy Daniel but it ended up being four seasons of Daniel falling in love with Betty while she had an active love life, made loads of friends, learned a lot, built a career and eventually left the country to be super successful.
Total switch around.
And I loved that it ended with Betty being happy and successful and Daniel becoming her assistant. He’s the one making the effort to change his life to suit her.

I’m a Daniel was in love with Betty the whole time truther because what do you mean I’m on episode 2x06 and Daniel is threatening to have Henry fired because he knows he’s gonna break Betty’s heart again. Ntm this is coming a few episodes after he fired Gio after he was mean to Betty once. Like this is not normal friend behavior

Se los confieso, porque aquí estamos entre amigas y ustedes son chéveres.
La forma en la que Daniel mira a Betty me debilita las rodillas, es una mezcla de maravilla, curiosidad y renuencia, Gaitán sabía cosas.

It may took Daniel four seasons to understand his feelings, but Claire fuckin' knew that Betty sooner or later will be her favorite daughter-in-law after two days max they spent together.

Just finished binging the whole of Ugly betty cause i needed to know the iconness that is this show and i loved it except that i am so dissapointed on them losing literally one of the best slow burn potential ever that is Daniel and Betty . I have been whining over the ending for so long cause as the show progressed all i could root for ever as a couple was Daniel and Betty and finally when it was implied that they are endgame it just felt so lackluster cause it was such an open ending and i hate open endings, and knowing that they end up married in the og telenovela actually kind of hurt and healed me at the same time. Like i get the point of the open ending being that it would be sudden to have them end up romantically like that but like there were so many times they could've started by implying their feelings for each other but they failed every time and i am very sad over it . This is literally the first time ever i actually want to actively go ,search and read fanfics on a straight ship.

Good evening. This is your little reminder that Detty is real and Daniel wrote this letter in his last MODE issue before going to London, as per the ABC website back in the day. THE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS THO-
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
A Hundred Years of Attitude
April 15, 2010
A hundred years is plenty of time for a lot to happen in anything. Political powers change hands and change back again, cultural movements evolve into something completely different, whole empires rise and fall. And yet, this is somehow even truer for the world of fashion, one in which a constant state of changing attitudes is implied by the very term itself. For a hundred years, Mode Magazine has been a leader, an ambassador, a harbinger, an opponent of and a champion for shifts in the way our society sees itself, and our next issue is a celebration of that complicated legacy.
Of course, an institution like Mode cannot even pretend to the throne of molding the attitudes of culture if it were not full of attitude itself. And attitude is one thing Mode has always had in abundance. To be honest, sometimes I feel as though we at Mode pack a hundred years worth of it into one day, especially since my co-Editor-in-Chief, Wilhelmina Slater, came on the scene. Ah, but I kid...
...And yet, I don't -- the truth is, the field of fashion is one that is both fast and fierce, and sometimes you have to go through a hundred years worth of attitudes in a day to find the one that suits the precise pulse of our culture at that given point. It's an amazing and arduous process, but, to be even more honest, it's one for which I admit I am not a natural fit, one for which Wilhelmina is.
Since I've experienced so much attitude in my time at Mode, I'd like to posit an observation: One thing that is often lost in the changing of an attitude is the cause for that change. This is best understood when you consider attitudes on a personal level. I ask you, dear reader, to think back to a time when you experienced a major shift in your life. Was it an external change, something that happened outside of you, and forced a change of attitude to help you adapt to the future? Perhaps you saw a friend demonstrate a prowess that cast her in a new light. Heck, maybe it was as simple as your friend getting a makeover. Or perhaps that friend was undergoing her own life change, one in which she would no longer be present in your life, compelling you to make your own change to keep her in it, even if it were in a new context.
Just as important: Maybe the change was an internal one. Maybe you realized you were no longer interested in maintaining your status quo. Perhaps you wanted to try new challenges not only in your professional life, but also in your personal one. Or maybe one day something just changed inside you in the way you saw that good friend, causing you to want her to be more than, well, just a friend.
As you experience our One Hundred Years of Attitude Issue, I ask that you consider not only the attitudes themselves, but the causes that precipitated their change and coming to be. Often the changes in attitude that are the most powerful are rooted in causes that come from without and within. When that unusual synergy occurs, love is often the result. And take it from me: Love is the one attitude that never goes out of fashion.
