just rewatched the first episode and a half of soy luna after literal years because the fourth season releasing sent me right back into the fandom and i have many many thoughts watching it through the lenses of someone that’s older and who already knows what’ll happen next… it’s the first time i manage to focus while rewatching a dcla show cos i usually cringe and can’t make it past halfway through the first episode but this time im actually endeared so here are said thoughts in no chronological order (will put under read more cos there’s a lot)
- i don’t think ambar intended for luna to fall in the pool of all places when she pushed her (tho she definitely wanted her to fall and get hurt as vengeance either way)
- unlike most of the fandom i don’t think matteo was going for a kiss in that scene where he gives luna her pendant back i think he wanted to kiss her cheek if anything
- nina’s probably trying so hard to get over her shyness and to befriend and get along with everyone so they don’t keep being mean to her my poor girl
- early s1 simon god i miss u everyday
- matteo probably spent his whole summer in cancun while ambar and sharon traveled around the world i know ambar was stressing about timezones so they could call and stuff and he did not gaf lmaoo
- luna didn’t your parents ever tell you not to hop into strangers’ cars?? so naive and pure lmaoo my sweet girl
- i did not remember amanda was a cook assistant too do we ever even see her cook
- i also did not remember rey wasn’t sharon’s driver
- why doesn’t the roller have an open air rink i feel like they should
- why do we never hear about the passes to the rink that nico mentions in s1 in later seasons
- they probably pre-write the songs for the season ahead cos they keep using the instrumental for sobre ruedas in the bg
- fab & chic was probably delfi and jazmin jumping on every trend to cultivate their popularity with ambar as the face of the channel cos she’s the most marketable one (also she probably had a few fans pre-show and the # mambar is probably canon)
- nico not knowing nina can’t skate even tho she’s apparently at the roller everyday proves they truly did not know each other as a group that well pre-show
- nico & pedro not fw jazmin and delfi is so funny considering what’ll happen next
- how old is everyone im so confused
- sharon genuinely does not gaf about raising ambar jesus christ no wonder she turned out this way she’s letting her do whatever tf she wants and only halfheartedly scolding her when rey gets actually annoyed about it and that’s it of course ambar would spend the rest of her life chasing after everyone’s attention
- rey getting too invested in the bensons’s life at times and sharon having to tell him to calm down… interesting considering what’ll happen next part 2
- monica always being stressed tf out someone massage this woman’s shoulders NOW
- ambar canonically liking burgers and tacos despite acting all classy and elegant i love her (she probably ate burgers everyday when she was in new york)
- foodger wheels being an international fast-food chain?? sure why not
- seer luna is canon i’m sorry you can’t just predict the name jam&roller in your dream w/o knowing about it beforehand
- the jam & roller having a website i forgot this was canon
- if i were monica & miguel i would be nervous asf living in my boss’s mansion when said boss will genuinely fire me the second she’s unhappy with my work
- also sharon paying for luna’s tuition is risky… the second she doesn’t like you guys anymore you’re homeless and luna can’t go to school i get that it’s a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity but if they’d been given more than ~2 days to think about it (or if they weren’t under an ultimatum) maybe they wouldn’t have accepted that easily
- the blake south college canonically having exchange students this should’ve been a plot point at some point i dunno
- luna’s mexican accent is so special to me they didn’t even try to translate it into the french dub
- the jam & roller seems way bigger than i remembered from outside there’s probably so much of it we never see on-screen
- the blake south college being top 10 best schools in the world… everybody in sl a child prodigy
- the jazmin-brittany (glee) pipeline… i want her to be a genius school-wise and an idiot irl
- autistic nina luna and jazmin canon #tome
- luna actually wasn’t ever poor?? obviously her parents’ jobs make a bunch of money… i dunno why i used to think she was struggling when she lived in cancun
- miguel & monica wanting the best possible future for luna and for her to have the choice to do whatever she wants with her life and sharon using that to manipulate them into agreeing to her offer and coming to buenos aires
- monica not being a fan of luna always being out in the streets w her friends but still thinking simon’s a good kid
- miguel being simon’s #1 fan the lumon fans weren’t exaggerating
- the jam & roller staff also supervising the rink why do we never really see that post-s1
- luna visibly having way less technique on wheels than matteo is so satisfying to me i love paying attention to those details
- luna’s crooked teeth i love her
- most of the kids going to the roller probably don’t go to black south since it’s so selective of course they’d treat Academically Gifted and Skating Prodigies mambar like they were the elite of the place
- the jam & roller canonically being more crowded on school days everybody in BA on those wheels fr
- jim & yam rambling together canon
- jim & yam going on vacations together canon
- them having to sign up to sing at opens i did not remember that either
- jim & yam harassing pedro to post the open registration and them wanting to be the first ones to sing canon they’ve probably wanted to have a music career together for a while
- ramiro my comedic king i missed u badly
- sharon being exhausted 24/7 man the fandom wasn’t exaggerating
- matteo #1 ghosting king never answering his fucking phone
- matteo canonically knowing how to breakdance #muchtothinkabout… ramiro and matteo breakdancing together is a canon possibility… (also ruggero’s stunt double being painfully obvious in ep1 and them hiding his face with a bench is comedic gold to me)
- ambar wanting to be hyped up by delfi and jazmin 24/7 my girl craves attention and approval so bad
- matteo avoiding his gf… mambar avoidant attachment vs anxious attachment final boss
- sharon being wealthy rich and influent enough to welcome the congressman in her mansion?? i did not remember that bullshit
- soy luna having immaculate portrayal of how entitled and insufferable rich people are
- sharon possibly knowing how to play chess… maybe ambar does too then… maybe they play together…
- they’re abusing tf out of those chico fresa / chica delivery nicknames
- ambar whitewashing herself with makeup in s1 girl why you so pale
- pedro being bad with electronics canon
- gaston calling jim & yam the fantastic twins canon
- the one having the sun pendant first in the show being that roberto guy (possibly one of the benson family employees?) and him being consumed with guilt over the fire is a pretty dark storyline actually they explore it so little that i had exactly 0 memories of it
- simon’s moles being visible in s1 before they hide them with makeup is so important to me
- matteo’s rolled up jeans… his ankles always visible… i’ll kill that guy no joke
- ambar would unironically like matcha fight me
- ambar calling them moni and lunita… condescendingly but still much to think about
- luna and sharon thinking each other’s faces are familiar in ep1… the foreshadowing
- amanda being in everybody’s business lmfaoo
- they ate with the casting of nina’s mom
- nina reading with music because she got used to it by hanging out at the roller so much canon
- gaston watching fab & chic canon
- nico being late to his shifts most of the time canon
- every nina hater will start coughing in three days im so serious
- nina’s nerdy rambles i love her so much
- you get a year-long free pass if you’re a rink assistant… so do u have to buy a new pass monthly?? is it daily?? how does that work?? #tofigureoutlater*
- pedro doing the bartending and nico doing rink-related work canon (?)
- someone write a fic about the foodger wheels staff i love them and their five seconds of screen-time
- *my theory is that they get some sort of monthly subscription that gives you the right to a pass everyday if you’re a registered user (i hope those are rechargeable or something or else that’s an ecologically questionable system)
- everybody’s outfits being overall Not That Bad and then there’s matteo and his catastrophic pulls why is fashion icon ambar smith not dumping him (he knew not to go and see her with that yellow-green cardigan in ep2 she would’ve thrown up at the sight /j)
- luna saying hello to employees from random restaurants on her way to foodger wheels my social butterfly queen
- unpopular opinion but i forgot i used to LOVE simon they really butchered his characterization bad post-s1
- sharon having pictures of lili and bernie around her living-room to honor them even though she spent her life envious of her sister… sharon with big complicated feelings i love u
- watching sl now that im older feels so different they’re all genuinely kids (it’s even more evident regarding ambar like that’s just a regular bitchy insecure teenage girl… s1 ambar listens to olivia rodrigo)
- i love love love luna’s room in cancun i too would be sad to move into the benson mansion’s room after that
- rey and ambar beefing that’s it that’s the tweet
- valentina’s accent sigh im in love with her
