the scene where Malthus was crying and asking for forgiveness then Hilda appears scrubbing his back happily while taking a bath (and with that music too) HAHAHAHAHA
In the flashback Father Nelson even made all the little boys wear modesty dresses when they were talking their showers. Like of course Malthus is freaking out. Poor guy like wtffff 😭😭
I’m laughing but seriously this is some deep religious abuse - they’ve made him this ignorant, innocent, fearful child & I can’t wait for him to break free of it all
i’m so thankful you’re publishing this because it’s what i keep looking forward to everyday!! i wake up and check even throughout the day i’m so excited thank you for your hard work! cant wait for the next episodes to come out
fr i can’t stand the mom, she isn’t even really doing so much to care for her child, all she sees him is as a saint but what about him as a person who needs the love and support from a mother? he’s human and i honestly feel like she’s fabricating those stories to keep herself and her son deluded
While I adore the dynamic between Hilda and Malthus, I also love the supporting cast and the way the show doesn't reduce sex workers to flat characters to be objectified or to helpless traumatized victims, either; instead, it just makes them feel like actual people. Thank you so much for translating!
REAL SHIT!! its cz the director is a woman lol. when i first started this show and saw how they portrayed the red light district, i could tell that a woman must have directed this show because its shown in a female gaze if that makes sense.
Thank you SO MUCH for translating, I appreciate your work❤️ I literally check everyday your site... This novela is getting better and better with every episode😩
Many are against Malthus mom tbh I think differently😶🌫️ I agree that she shouldn't force him to become a Saint. But what I can understand is that she doesn't accept their love. I really wouldn't think it would be great to hand my son/daughter over to a sex worker. As a mother, you always assume the worst. The first thought that comes to mind is that the sex worker is no longer capable of love. I think she just wants to spare him heartbreak too yk
What’s more is I think Father Nelson manipulated Malthus’ mother into going to the Red-Light District on her own. He even said “I have given up on trying to fight Hilda Hurricane.” Which is a bold face *lie*.
Regardless, it caused Malthus’ mother to jump into action - which of course is what Father Nelson wanted (he’s basically trying all his avenues of action). Even if it means sending this very sheltered woman into the heart of sin, a place he wouldn’t even dare step into himself.
He’s such a scumbag. I just hope some of Hilda’s friends find Malthus’ mom before anything bad happens to her.
I don't think it matters who Hilda is, if it would be any other woman, his mom and the priest would be mad anyway.. sure it doesn't help that she's a prostitute, but the mom's and priest's main issue is that this woman will make Malthus leave his "calling" to be a saint. But I agree that it's none of their business and should let him decide for himself :/
what was bad was that she didn't even know about hilda yet, she just knew she was a girl that malthus was in love with. she immediately jumped on him and made him feel guilty of having feelings for a girl, and that he should stick to his "saintly" duties. i can understand the sex worker thing, but she wanted malthus to be perfect from the start which is controlling and manipulative asf. she's in the wrong for that.
True, you should first know a person before you can judge them. It could also have been that it was a sex worker who was forced to do this. But when it comes to Hilda: of course she is a likeable woman, I also want her to get together with Malthus bc of the romance. But if we face the truth, Hilda came across as very selfish and heartless, especially in the first few episodes. It's not right to tell a person at the last minute on your wedding day that you don't want to marry them. She had enough time to think about it and as she says herself, she does what comes to her mind, which is not okay and she doesn't fear the consequences. Then the whole thing ends very badly, considering the stories that are told about her like men killed themselves bc of her and that didn't happen without reason. Even if Malthus' mother knew her and still didn't accept their love, I would be on her side ngl
even if she's a sex worker that doesn't mean she's not capable of loving someone, what I like about this telenovela is that they didn't give flat personalities to sex workers they portrayed them as people who have emotions, dramas, social life
She freaked out right away, even when Malthus told her it was just a girl. She didn't know then, but she didn't wanna hear it and straight up told him to shut up.
Right off the start I had a feeling she was a bit weird. She's not necessarily malicious, but controlling and misguided. She was a widow and raised in a village, so perhaps it was easy for her to find comfort in a dream and the priest enabled her. That's what I thought in the first episodes.
As the show goes on it becomes more and more clear that she is obsessed with Malthus being a saint and she doesn't actually consider his true wishes because she enjoys this status of being the mother of a saint and it's probably what kept her going all these years. She wants him to stay a child forever. She even ignores his distress until his sainthood is threatened and conspires with the priest, betraying her son's trust.
When Malthus told her he kissed a girl (and she didn't know it was a prostitute) and her first reaction was to tell him to shut up and act like he did something horrible confirmed my suspicions. It's valid for a woman of that time to not be okay with her son dating a prostitute: but she didn't know when he told her. Idk she's giving boy mom.
Omg - this episode WRECKED ME. Seeing Malthus taking off his robes, one layer at a time, shedding his Sainthood to see (what Hilda would call) the real person underneath, was mind blowing.
We expected to see perfect Malthus. Saintly Malthus. Both over and underneath the white robes. We expected to see perfect skin, a smooth and unblemished body, nurtured and loved by the Church and his mother. A “pure rose” as they say. But instead, we find scars. We are shock to find that this delicate pure and kind soul is covered in scars. Some fresh, some old, but slashed across his body like thorns.
He is not the perfect rose everyone expects of him. He’s something more. He’s human.
Mannnn… this show is so deep sometimes. I just can’t get enough of it. Thank you.
Also - the part where all the women prayed in front of the store - like c’mon, we all know what y’all were actually doing there. Psssh smh 🤦♀️
the beginning of this episode reminded me of that meme: maria man killer and thin waist plot: "lets arm wrestle" malthus's plot: *picture of Spongebob in Silent Hill* 😭😭😭 Cannot wait for more, this show is so fantastic!!
malthus: cant even look at himself in the mirror without breaking down, meanwhile hilda: laughing and giggling in the bathtub having the time of her life
I think this was my fav episode so far and I am still giggling about robertos reactions like the man was SHOCKED. fair enough tho I mean saint is(was) really the definition of a saint soo this is shocking. ALSOOOO I love love love u and I keep refreshing a few times a day in hopes u uploaded a new episode. Thank u so much this is getting better and better and so so exciting <3
I feel bad for Malthus, they keep gaslighting him to be a saint, I think he's just a good boy and obey & respect his mother but they all think he needs to be a saint because of that. Oh that poor baby malthus🥺
I feel so bad for Malthus, everyone has pushed him to be perfectly pure, when it's not humanly possible. They've kept him in a bubble, so naturally once he's exposed to the outside world, he doesn't know how to handle it. He's 22, and when he kisses a girl, he feels like everything he worked for is ruined, plus he's destroying everyone's expectations of him, especially his mom and Fr. Nelson's, when it's a totally normal experience. Fr. Nelson has even taught him to fear his own thoughts out of fear of God. Imagine teaching that it's wrong to love another person smh
I love how they didn't give sex workers flat personalities, they showed them as real people with many personalities and didn't reduce them to objects. Also it's kinda funny how Malthus and Hilda are reacting differently to the kiss, but I feel bad for Malthus being forced to be someone only because of selfish people around him.

honestly him crying and fighting w himself is so sad it hits kinda hard bc i also grew up catholic and deal w a lot of guilt. theyre also just placing to much pressure on him and its so weird how they are almost trying to keep im in a child like state.
I feel like Malthus's mother had some sort of post-pregnancy psychosis from her husband dying whilst she was pregnant. She was probably feeling extremely alone and scared and that's what's caused her 'visions' clinging to the hope that her son will become something beyond-human. Maybe she thinks his Saint-hood may save him from dying as her husband did, or ensure he will make it to heaven.
I have a similar perspective on this! Everyone on the village is quite religious so when she lost her husband while pregnant she must have turned to religion to cope, consciously AND subconsciously. Post-partum psychosis and religious ideas probably don't mix well, because you don't seperate delusion from reality. I think Father Nelson enabled her so she fell deeper into the trip and that's why she kept at it for so long. The idea of raising a saint is probably what kept her going. She's not malicious so far, just a lonely and misguided soul that is holding on to her son way too tightly.
I am just blown away by how well-written and complex these charcters are...
the juxtaposition of malthus's existential/spiritual crisis and hilda having a bubble bath has to be one of the best scenes I've ever seen in a show xD
I love Malthus and his dramatic ass 😭. But what I don't love is how selfish father Nelson is. He only thinks about fostering a saint not about Malthus or what Malthus wants in life, poor boy had a crisis the first time he ever saw a beatiful lady like Hilda and even another one over her shoe. And now he's having another one over discovering a boner. That's some deep ass religious abuse from Nelson and maybe some of it even from his mother. His mother's love is conditional, its obvious she wouldn't love him the way she does now if he never becomes a saint like she's always wanted. Oh poor Malthus he only ever did what his mother and father Nelson told him to do and in returnn he's become such an innocent ignorant boy. Ignorant of the natural ways his body would react or maybe even look like poor poor boy.
I’m sorry but Hilda is too selfish, she’s just thinking of marriage and how easy will be for her to get poor Santo out of the way to priesthood without thinking of how this whole situation is affecting him. She claims she loves him but yet she has never considered his feelings, she’s just too infatuated with what the fortune-teller told her and with her little idealized concept of the perfect love, it is actually so sad. I understand that Santo has all of that religious trauma that he has to work out but his love for God and the happiness he had before Hilda appeared was genuine and pure, and her making him turn his back to what he has worked and lived for his whole life without batting an eye is just SICKENING.
She’s having another one of her usually temporary infatuations because she knows he’s forbidden and I bet that if they actually end up marrying each other at the end she’s gonna end up having another one of her random senseless outbursts and just leave him behind.
The amount of ppl misinterpretating the mirror scene is driving me insane. It represents him shedding his holy-image, the image everyone sees him as, and looking at himself for what he really is: human. Bare, exposed, scarred, flawed, human. It's not about self-pleasure in the slightest.
the sequence of Malthus shedding the cassock off and seeing himself in the mirror, in the flesh, and then it gets to the bit of nelson leading how saints should bathe. so well-done,, i come from a religious household thats also deeply toxic, i understood him so much here

ReplyDeleteThe amount of ppl misinterpretating the mirror scene is driving me insane. It represents him shedding his holy-image, the image everyone sees him as, and looking at himself for what he really is: human. Bare, exposed, scarred, flawed, human. It's not about self-pleasure in the slightest.
ReplyDeleteCLOCK IT!

ReplyDeleteI WANT TO DRAG THOSE WOMEN BY THEIR K00CHI HAIRS I CANT DO THESE ANYMORE
ReplyDeletethe sequence of Malthus shedding the cassock off and seeing himself in the mirror, in the flesh, and then it gets to the bit of nelson leading how saints should bathe. so well-done,, i come from a religious household thats also deeply toxic, i understood him so much here
ReplyDelete+the whip scars on his back are a great detail
