I am selectively rewatching Gabriela, and I forgot how much I adored Sinhazinha x Osmundo, my tragic tragic darlings. She's a religious woman trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage with zero joy or pleasure of any kind (she refuses to even let her husband see her naked because it's a sin and about the nicest thing I can say about him is he complies) who meets the town's new dentist and discovers love and passion but...

I love themmmm

Oh my God, people make Gerusa x Mundinho vids from Gabriela!!!! This made my day!!! They are one of my fave telenovela OTPs!!!!

Funny thing is Gabriela is very very loosely (super loosely; “inspired by” would be more accurate) by one of my favorite novels - Gabriela by Jorge Amado (one of my three most favorite writers) and I love both though they are very different - the novel is basically a year in the life of a town and changes that happen. Mundinho is a reformer outsider in both but Gerusa does not exist (and honestly there is no plot; it’s not that type of novel) but I am so glad someone who read it clearly shared my epic crush on him or at least realized he’s crushable so giving him a love story would make bank.

PS to continue “different country media is different” obviousness - it’s kinda funny because Gerusa is a teen who’s in convent school (though she’s certainly old enough to be courted and married by societal standards of the time and place) and Mundinho is in his late 20s I believe and that’s not in the least an issue - they got plenty of other issues (her grandfather is the leader of the conservative movement he fights) but age gap is not one of them.
