Oh, apologies! Another question on the fic - just resting now after wisdom tooth surgery, woops - is "aces" Peter's slang or Hobie's? I swore Peter used it first, but obviously they're picking up eachothers slang now (vv cute btw).
don’t apologize!! i appreciate the interest so much!!
you’re right, “aces” is noir’s slang. the only time hobie says it is to reaffirm parker about the mosh pit—otherwise, he always uses “ace.” i just like that they have compatible but not identical slang. except also yes they would absolutely mirror each other’s slang over time omg
for you, a lil drawing of them arguing abt it <3

I honestly respect Jaime. Aside from the classic behavior of entitled white man he displayed at times (well it is the 50s, patriarchy etc), he is more a decent person than not and I’m glad the writers chose consistency over cheap drama.
We learned to love Marta and she’s spoken of as strict but just and that is who she is. She is intelligent and kind behind the tough exterior, she said she admired and respected Jaime, she herself called him good. She got married believing herself to be in love so it’s only natural and consistent that she chose to marry a man that reflected her personality a bit.
It’s the 50s. Jaime could have reacted in a number of ways that would have all of society behind his back but he chose to have an honest conversation with Marta without throwing accusations around. He even tried to understand her despite being very hurt. Because betrayal hurts - a lot! - and he was betrayed in more ways than one.
The writing was consistent even with making him trying to put all the blame on Marta. The whole “why did you let me sacrifice everything” can sound annoying for the audience rooting for Mafin but… it’s fine he feels this way? As far as he knew, Marta was just uninterested, the marriage cooled off, it was salvageable maybe - he didn’t know she was in love with someone, and a woman, no less, which is something he could never give Marta.
Also, mad respect for the way he talked to Fina. Mad respect for him as a professional, not letting personal deeds interfere with his attitude as a doctor nor towards Isidro as his patient.
Mad respect for the writers not falling in the trap of stereotypes and cheap antagonists!
Also, I think Jaime + Luz has been hinted a bit and that is a pair I would like to see!! Although sad for Luz if he just parts from this world which is the path that was laid down on the past.
Can’t believe I’m ranting about Jaime and not Mafin. I think I’m just happy for once I don’t hate male characters. Cheers to the writers!
But my god the medical aspect of it I cannot
