it feels like im reading against the intended tone of the relationship and character but god. if you take dana’s actions purely at face value the kind of person it paints is like. One I have a lot of complicated feelings about.

#like dont get me wrong miguel needs his ass kicked several ways to sunday for the cheating #but man. is there something to be read in someone who #finds a scaple and digs DEEP when she wants to hurt someone. like hanging out with Stone - KNOWING he drugged miguel - because she wants to #needle him about not spending time with her. kissing gabriel while saying not to let the past affect his relationship w his brother now #LIKE. on one hand i can just chalk this up to shitty misogynistic 90s writing and theres absolutely an element to that #but on the other hand im like how do you fuck up interiority on this woman specifically SO hard if youre not going to interogate the actions #she takes or offer an insight into how this character thinks or considers others around her #when other women in this series like Xina and Conchata have really interesting and compelling dynamics and actions that you can dig at from #several difffent angles like #THROWING MY HANDS IN THE AIR! GOD! I want the writing to give a shit about how it constructs Dana and what that implies about the kind of #person she is #tunes talks critical #<- since there’s an element of me bitching shdhd #tunes talks 2099 #and like. I don’t need Dana to be a ‘good’ person! I want her to be a person that I can interpret the mindset of! and understand the way shw #views other people and herself and it just doesn’t feel like the writing gives her that grace
