[the-fandom-crossroads]

Just finished rewatching Advent Children with bro and wow that explained a lot more than I thought it would. Bro had never seen it and I remembered the white void showing up there and that the 3 villains were sephiroth clones. I completely forgot the other hints towards Remake.

But Spoilers for Remake and Rebirth I guess?

I now understand why everyone insists Remake Sephiroth is Advent Children Sephiroth. Like the exact same monologue about going to space with cloud. And Advent Children was him revealing this new bigger plan to cloud. If Remake Sephiroth was the original VII sephiroth he should still just want to use meteor because it's "mother's" will.

But like all that is old news for folks who remembered Advent Children when playing through Remake 4 years ago.

I think the things Rebirth builds on about the lifestream is more interesting. The pond that forms in Aerith's church in AC is a natural mako spring like the countless ones we find in rebirth. Flowers are able to grow there long after Aerith's death because of this spring just below the surface.

When Cloud "dies" in Advent Children he meets Aerith and Zack in the white void before they decide to put him back. He's released from the lifestream in the natural mako spring now in Aerith's church just like how Tifa is tossed back out when she enters with the whale.

Again for anyone who's recently watched AC it's obvious the white void is meant to represent the lifestream. But that means Rebirth is confirming the Lifestream is a bridge between the different universes. Zack enters the Lifestream and runs into Remake cloud who's also been pulled in. AC is all about how Sephiroth is still in the lifestream and that's how Kadaj is able to be possessed by him once he has enough Jenova cells. Cloud kills Sephiroth putting him back in the Lifestream. The Lifestream that connects all vii worlds.

AC Sephiroth then uses the lifestream to start appearing before a Cloud that has only just reached Midgar. His Meddling summons the whispers which fight back to keep things to the "cannon" timeline. Sephiroth of course tricks team Avalanche into destroying the head Whisper allowing him to take control of them. Again old news for anyone that knew Sephiroth wanted them to break the bonds of Fate.

But if Sephiroth is using the lifestream to mess with other worlds. it shouldn't be a surprise one of the Aerith's also already in the lifestream got involved too. As other's have pointed out the Aerith that gives cloud the not empty White materia isn't remake Aerith. But another Aerith that pulled him into that universe to give him a functioning white materia. But somehow Remake Aerith knew the hand over happened? Because in the white forest she asks cloud for the materia and they swap so she has a functioning white materia. That part confuses me a little. How did our Aerith know the handoff happened?

Also Rufus and Kadaj have a conversation about how everything's a cycle. That Jenova "Mother" will always try to destroy the planet and the lifestream/humanity will always fight back. Made me realize AC Sephiroth wasn't going back on his timeline to make a new one but hopping into the next timeloop. OG VII and Advent Children's cannon is locked in. Remake is truely that a remaking of the timeline made possible by Cloud and Co defeating the whispers that enforce the timeloops. So now instead of one spiral after another and infinite number of spirals are forming while the remake loop is still happening.

That's why Sephiroth waited until the *spoilers* cannon event to appear in Rebirth. It's an all the stars a line situation. All timeloops have that moment, regardless of how it's different in different versions.

But Rebirth's cannon event was just a test run. Sephiroth wanted to see how much power he could gain just from multiple timelines merging at one point.

Sephiroth already told us what he really wants. The Black materia but not the one from the remake universe no the ultimate black materia forged from all the black materia. And what's the next big plot point that could be a cannon event? Cloud's breakdown at the northern crater after handing the Black Materia over to Sephiroth. If there's any point where the timelines would over lap it would be there. We already saw the power boost Sephiroth got. If that power boost happens to the black Materia yeah that's a multiverse destroying meteor right there.

Wow was that a long wall of text about stuff everyone else probably already knows. But I just had to put all the clarity Advent Children gave me about Remake and Rebirth somewhere. Expect a spiral timeline graphic in the future. Cause I feel like i'm forgetting to explain some of it right.

* even if we go with the defence that ‘showing a gay bashing is important! bc it’s realistic!’, there was no need to end the clip/episode the way they did, with them lying semi unconscious on the ground. and then NOTHING for 12 hours. you wanna show how bad homophobia can get, so bad that it can turn violent? cool, don’t show it in detail and at such a length. show them interacting, holding each other and making their way home together. show a late night text b/w them asking each other if they got home ok. the fact that they just left them there and didn’t show anything for 12 hours?? ----> drama, angst, shock value

* why weren’t they together this morning??? they were planning to go back to robbe’s, the TRAUMATIZING attack happened, and they were like....yeah you know what, instead of comforting each other and healing together, let’s just go our separate ways in the dark all alone, spend the night alone with our aches and our happy thoughts, makes sense!

* how did they not need to go to the hospital??? you show them getting the beating of a lifetime, leave them lying on the ground semi unconscious, but they manage to come out of it with only a few cuts and bruises?? realistic.

* they went through a violent traumatizing homophobic attack, and less than 24 hours they go out to party, as if nothing ever happened? again, love the realism.

* sander tells robbe he loves him and that they have each other. 9 hours later he’s kissing britt.... ????????? not only does that make NO SENSE, this is also incredibly BAD WRITING. you can’t have a violent GAY BASHING one day, and have the typical high school drama less than 24 hours later! you can’t have angst on angst on angst w/o letting your characters and the story itself BREATH! gay bashing is SERIOUS BUSINESS, if you decided to go down that road, the least you could do is let your characters - who are supposed to be in love and the greatest love story ever told - HEAL TOGETHER. GO THROUGH IT TOGETHER. BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER. you don’t LITERALLY kick someone (robbe) when they’re down, just to immediately kick him again???? that’s fucked up, man. and yeah, i’m suuuuure sander will have a good explanation and everything will make sense later on and we can brush it off and forget it ever happened, but 1. you don’t do this storyline immediately after beating up your characters wtf 2. it doesn’t matter if it’ll make sense later, bc it doesn’t make sense NOW. clearly something happened b/w then (when they talked and sander said ilu) and now (kissing britt at the party), but WE HAVEN’T BEEN SHOWN ANY OF IT. it’s NOT THE SAME as og bc in og we SAW what happened to drive even away from isak, we saw isak make that comment - some people might not have realized that was the trigger (others did tho!!!), but it was THERE and it was obvious AFTERWARDS. here??? you can keep watching and rewatching, but NOTHING we’ve seen with our own two eyes could’ve possibly triggered this behavior in sander, bc robbe didn’t say or do anything wrong! i’ve seen theories that maybe britt said something to him, maybe he’s doing this to protect robbe from getting hurt again (which is bs bc unlike isak who can find someone who’s not mentally ill, robbe can’t find someone who’s not a guy bc, well, he’s gay?? then what are you protecting him from exactly??) - it’s all possible, but the point remains that we’ve been shown none of it, we’re COMPLETELY in the dark, and this is just another PLOT TWIST for SHOCK VALUE. not to mention!!! that at least og had even text isak that he needed a break. wtfock went from an ‘I LOVE YOU’ to NOT A WORD, not even a little heads up, to robbe. and if that’s not bad enough, THE IG POSTS. even if robbe hadn’t gone to the party and seen them kiss, he would’ve seen and found out about it from the ig posts. spare some break up text first at least??? this was a season long, well planned and well executed storyline in og. in wtfock there is no cohesive narrative, no coherent stroytelling. it’s just one random angsty clip after the other, with viewers being asked to fill in the blanks themselves based on what they know from og, or their own creative minds. there is no subtle slow build up to things, it’s just a trashy cw teen drama. (which can be enjoyable! but they’re light years away from being skam). *eta: also!!! THE CONTEXT in which these happened! the fact that sander does THIS to robbe after a VIOLENT HOMOPHOBIC ATTACK makes him look so much shittier than even ever did.....

* the end of that clip.....thought we’d save the suicide allusions (won’t be surprised if it’s an actual attempt) for sander in ep 8/9, but always trust wtfock to be the little overachiever it is and already do it with robbe in ep 6!

* is noor still considered to be the nicest and best emma, or.....?

* it’s funny bc this morning i was legit surprised they not only showed sander, but also showed him and robbe be cute together. it was very optimistic, when based on the past i totally expected one of them to pull away from the other immediately. i was like, damn! finally wtfock got something right! they’re actually gonna let them deal with this aftermath *together*, at least for the next couple of days (bc y’know, asking for more than 2 days of happiness in wtfock’s economy is unrealistic). silly me for even expecting those 2 days....if there’s anything consistent with wtfock, it’s that it’s ALWAYS gonna be ANGST ANGST ANGST, with maybe a day of some wholesomeness once a week. there is no balance. there is no pacing. there is no subtlety. and if you think THIS is rock bottom?? just remember 1. this is wtfock 2. there are FIVE episodes left.

* eta: the boy squad are still gross and bad friends. we love consistency!

Rank the Almost First Kisses from all the Remakes if you want to 🙂 I'd like to know what you think.

1. Davenzi obviously!! who would've thought lol. everything abt that scene is just... matteo having a panic attack and then seeing his crush cleaning up in his kitchen sjsjsksk. david saying "you look good today" and matteo just thinking it was irony instead of a compliment bc he doesn't believe that any boy could ever find him pretty. and then matteo literally tearing up and smiling and being relieved when david told him he was single. and the way matteo accidentally looked at davids lip but then david looking back at his and matteo smiling bc david looked at his lip sjsjsksksks. the tension in that scene!! the swallowing!!!!! the chemistry!!!! and the way matteo literally closed his eyes when david was still a mile away urghh and how david kept closing his eyes and opening them again in order to make sure matteo was fine and comfortable with it. their lips were sooooooo close and the entire scene is just the cutest and purest shit to ever exist. i don't make the rules

2. Evak !! even being totally even by teasing isak was just pure comedy. isak still seemed super shy and like he didn't know how to act around Even but the way Even was coming closer and closer was sdjdkskks super soft and just og superiority. so much tension in that scene urgh

3. Nicotino probably *never thought I'd ever rank italia that high lol* but that scene was super soft. them holding hands sjsjjsksks. and they were super smiley and cute when they realized that the other one wanted to go in for a kiss as well. the music choice sucked tho

4. Croana. i mean they had like 2 or 3 almost kisses which was a bit too much, but having the first almost kiss scene in episode 1 still suited their characters and their school partners- storyline and maybe girls in general to be that close from the beginning already, so it made sense. I liked what they talked abt and it was pretty cute and there was tension

5. Elu. didn't rly feel the tension and I still think their faces were too far away for it to even count as an almost kiss?? but I loved eliott saying "not necessarily a girl tho"

6. sadly rosander. I liked the scene, just not as much as the others ig. and bc of the timing it just still doesn't make sense to me.. their dialogue was good in it, but they were still standing too far away from each other and there wasn't rly any tension. sander and robbe were both super cute tho and I'm rewatching that scene 24/7. rosander has great chemistry as well. but mainly bc of the timing and how little they know abt each other, the scene still feels kinda weird to me. i get that it might be realistic in rl life to already kiss but it just wasn't a smart writing decision to introduce sander in ep 3 just for the sake of changing shit and him being on vacation with the others. feels rushed and they didn't have as much dialogue as the others. but yk maybe if s3 was actually in robbes pov, I'd feel different abt it if we had seen robbe stalking sander eg before but the way they did it just feels off

[masahikass]

okay so since i couldn’t resist, here’s some info about my random ie:go steven universe!au because i have no energy for online lessons :)

also i didn’t want to post about another au since @/primsbean is making so many posts about her ie:go madoka magica!au which i fUCKING LOVE OHMYGOD- but yeah, alternate universes are my favorite snacc. i have another one to talk about but first let’s say things about the SU one <3

under the cut because it’s LONG - and remember i’m not a native english so i might do some mistakes

okay so first of all, don’t blame me if there will be some events that don’t follow the plot (since i’m NOT remaking steven universe with ie charas!!!!! please keep this in mind) or events that Rebecca Sugar would have never inserted in her show. I respect everyone who worked at steven universe, and my intention is not to say their plot/story was bad, i’m just adding something that did never happen with any chara in the su series to make my au more original, that’s it. peace and love oN THE PLANET EARTH- okay that was the best su song hands down

also keep in mind gems don’t have “gemmic” names (if you know just a little of the su series, you should know all the gems are named after their gem, but i wont give that kind of names to the ie boys - or should i call them gems then? lol)

all the gems - for now - will be males too (as there werent any og male gems in steven universe besides steven, which is an hybrid though so...)

i will list each chara’s gem and ability after the general plot <3

so, the actual protags (though all the charas are!!! these are the two) are Tenma and Fey, who are around 5,000 years old - please if you don’t remember how the gems’ years worked go search it up, there are so many threads about that - and protect inazuma city (insert shooked face) from corrupted gems’ attacks. these attacks are not really frequent and they seem to deal with the situation, but one day they start increasing, being more frequent than usual and also the gems who attack are stronger and different from the previous ones. Fey starts making a theory about a possible new attempt of the homeworld gems (i still haven’t decided which charas will “represent” them, though, since this plot is a kind of season 1 we could say??) to start colonizing Earth via war, as they already did 3,500 years before the current events but failed, with the terrestrial gems rejecting them but also losing a lot of them - since some of them got shattered during the war and others escaped to travel to other planets to start colonizing them theirselves so they could live a new, pacific life. Tenma, at first, isn’t that sure about what Fey said, but as the corrupted gems’ attacks kept increasing he realized he could have been right. as they’re the only two gems who protect their city, they start thinking they should ask help to someone, trying to find more powerful gems. 

Fey suggests to search for a trio (whose name is still not 100% sure... i randomly thought about Prism Trio just because I couldn’t remake Crystal Gems ahahah I still don’t know) which protect old war ruins in a forgotten area which is actually near Inazuma City though - but still, only some gems know about it, for example Fey did researches but Tenma knew nothing. This trio will be formed by your local ie:go chaotic trio aka Shindou, Kirino and Kariya (well, if i don’t get any more ideas for the name, then Gay Trio will be alright), who are respectively 7,600, 8,000 and 7,100 years old and actually fought in the first war. They find them fighting against a corrupted fusion, and try to join them to finish it easily and fastly. As they actually give the trio a good help, they still get scolded by them because they went in an area they shouldn’t have been to. However, the trio is still thankful to them for their help, and when Fey tells them about the situation in Inazuma City Shindou replies telling him his theory might be right as he had heard about the increasing attacks, also because the ruins were more attacked than usual in that period. Tenma kindly asks them if they could give their help back, coming with him and Fey and trying to reject the attacks together, even though he thought they’d never agree. Kirino is absolutely okay with that and shows positivity towards Tenma’s idea, while Kariya isn’t that sure since all of them should get used to a new routine, different from the one they were used to in the last millenniums. Shindou, who was neutral at the beginning, proved Kirino right since that would have been the best way to know more about the new attacks, and finally convinces Kariya to join them.

As they get in TenFey’s temple (which is the only thing IDENTICAL to the original SU one, except for the statue in the original version which is absent now), they start organizing their rooms (you know, in the temple there was that one door who led to each gem’s personal room, so the trio starts get used to them), they also keep fighting against new species of corrupted gems who keep attacking the city.

One day, then, all the five gems get to another ruins area, further from the ones the trio used to fight in, and at a moment Tenma remains alone and encounters... bepreparedtocringeihadnoideassorry... Sasuke. Yes, I did a Lion reference using Tenma’s dog instead. Original af, congrats. BY THE WAY,, he understands this gIaNt DoG (ohmygod the lion sounded better,, damn me and my dumb ideas) is related to gems somehow, and when he gets back - since Sasuke disappears after some seconds - tells the others about it, but everyone gets it as a joke and doesnt trust him. In the next fight, though, Sasuke approaches the gems and gives them help (still idk how, gotta rewatch all the lion episodes 382679345 times to get more ideas), so they all understand Tenma was right.

Some days after that, while Tenma is playing with Sasuke (gOOD BOY,,,,, I MEAN GEM,,,,,,,,,,), the dog drags him into a portal/warp (did i spell it good omg my english gets worse every day...) - just as lion sometimes does in the og series, lol - and since this warp keeps being open for some seconds, the other four gems enter it as Tenma might be in trouble alone. They all discover Sasuke led Tenma to an unknown area, which i wanted to be a desert bUT THAT LOOKS A LOT LIKE THE OG SERIES HOLY SHI- so okay, let’s make it a normal land, where there’s a fight going on. They notice a gem fighting a corrupted one all alone, and this gem seems really in need of help so they try everything to save him (oMg SpOiLeRs ThE gEm Is A mALe ToO!!11!!!111!) as they see he doesn’t have any weapon and only fights with the things he finds around himself, such as common rocks. That gem is no one else (???) than Hikaru *cries in i needed to add him hes so baby* who tells the five gems he had never seen such a powerful corrupted gem before and that he was used to reject the previous attacks in that zone more easily, and when Tenma asks him if he wants to come with him and the others to the temple Hikaru accepts without any doubt. As he gets to the temple, the others ask him if he has any weapon, but he tells them he never had the strenght to “develop” one. Perhaps, his ability (the only i’ll reveal here in the plot!!) is really useful, as he can generate light from his gem and make people and other gems blind for a limited amount of time - which, at the beginning, is really short but always increasing. He also wants to practice it as he wants to control the limit of time (for example, blinding people/gems just for a minute even if he could do for ten). When he shows his ability to the other gems, they all get blind... besides Kariya and here the ship sails *coughs* n-nothing, who is actually immune to the light’s effect. Being the only one who doesnt get blind, he starts helping Hikaru to develop his weapon.

I still haven’t thought about the rest of the plot, but there are still three characters I wanted to add. In order: Kyousuke, as an hybrid whose backstory will be way different from Steven’s in the og series (as he wasn’t born an hybrid, neither one of his parents was a gem), then Minaho and Manabe who are gems from another planet (not Homeworld, though) that are usually fused all the time... but, still, I have to think abt a plot ahah

If you’ve got this far, well... congrats? I know this is really long oh damn-

Btw, before I go, here’s the gems’ weapons and abilities as I promised! <3

Tenma: bow and arrow, he can control the wind

Fey: he basically makes grow poisonous creepers from everywhere (kind of inspired from Lapis in the og series as she generated water and could control it), controls nature in general

Shindou: sword, his voice can reach really high pitches so if he screams he can destroy things (and, maybe, he could start shattering gems too... who knows)

Kirino: lance, has a really high speed

Kariya: basically can make strong claws grow from his hands (idk how to describe it holy fuck,,, i cant draw either, if i could i’d have showed u), his ability is telekinesis

Hikaru: well, i don’t wanna spoil his weapon as i’m gonna make another post asap... i already said what his ability was, btw. also!! i didnt mention it before, but his age is around 3000 y/o

Kyousuke: katana, he can read any person’s mind for ten minutes if he had contact with them, same goes with gems but he must touch their gem in order to read their mind (age, in human years: 17)

Minaho: guns, he can understand if someone or something interacted with someone/something else just by smelling it (sounds cringe ik,, btw his age is the same as Manabe’s, 6,700)

Manabe: since i had no more ideas, don’t blame me if this sounds Peridot-ish, but he can actually generate small but powerful robots he can control and fight with, his ability is controlling technology in general.

Another last thing... these nine characters are the same of the other au i mentioned (which is way more calm than this,,, i also have more info abt that, too), so look forward to that too <3

I’mma go now, bye!

S3 Rewatch - Episode 3 - Vendredi 21h36 - “Pas forcément une meuf”

And we are dropped right in the middle of the action, sound like a bass drop after the buildup of the previous clip, after a brief shot of the lit up foyer from outside (lol so not discrete guys) with a little powerpoint zoom effect on the timestamp. It works to immediately immerse us in the wild feeling of the party - everyone dancing, the angles askew, the lights flashing and swirling. Three things. First, Arthur looks hella fly in his James Bond tux, class act, hope we see that side of him again in his season. Second, how good must it have felt for Imane to be able to wear her headscarf in school like she wants but can’t do bc of messed up laws ? Also - the girl dressed as a whole ass shower with curtain and ring is a f*cking Legend she should pop up in fics more. Like the level of extra - why a shower ? Who even does that ? did she ever think about how complicated it would be for her to get away if they got caught ? Nope, she did it all for the Drama. She heard ‘Infiltration’ theme (so like, being discrete and shit) and she went and got the most out there costume she could find. Respect. Also I saw someone in a penguin onesie lmaoooo. 

Basile wants to vomit and we really needed to know that, I guess. Alexia has such BDE casually dropping the whole ‘oh yeah that cute girl that looked at me flirtily is my ex, paws off and yeah i have much more game than you also bye’ at Basile. And the way she casually comes out to her boyfriend and orders him to get her a drink as soon as he gets weird. Because she acts as if she is entitled to a normal reaction (and she is!!!) and anything else is annoying. I love her. Her boyfriend doesn’t deserve her. The painted wall behind them looks so cool. Then another hilarious instance of Daphy freaking out over rules even if she’s basically the biggest rule breaker since she started this, Imane protecting Daphy from Basile being yikes, again being the friend who does the Most, and we cut to Chloé dissing the music. Lucas asks her if she listens to Jul (an extremely lame white French rapper) which is hilarious - it’s a ‘as if you’re any better’ covert dig. And then it turns out that she does listen to music Lucas likes and the best part ? He doesn’t even care. He wants nothing in common with her. He listens to dubstep now and he’s gonna like it even if it’s atrocious. He’d rather be with Eliott and listen to annoying music than to be without him (foreshadowing!!!!). He doesn’t give a shit about Chloé and her snobbish ways. Also there is a sun projected on the wall behind Lucas (symbolism !!!) Meanwhile Mika in his metallic silver suit and rainbow shirt is being super extra and kissing boys without a care in the world, and the way Chloé talks about him is dripping with condescension - ‘did he get the wrong party’ as if everyone is not being over the top anyway, or talking abt gay men as if they’re party accessories. Alexia correcting her feels fitting - Eliott in this clip is all about being mysterious and witholding so it’s okay he’s not the one doing that even if him correcting prejudice would have been awesome. I just don’t quite see Eliott standing up for himself in the way Even did. He’s always so much more nervous when it comes to talking. 

The music then goes “oh oh” as Eliott arrives, as if on cue. Like hiding-in-plain-sight camo for Lucas, the fact that the mask is actually blocking out his face physically is very fitting (beyond looking hot as fuck) - like Eliott’s tendency to actually disappear and hide when shit gets rough. Also sorry but Lucille looks gorgeous right there - they both do. The petty “salut, mec” - l e g e n d a r y. I remember how we all thought that Eliott was going to be super sad and down after Lucas shooting him down and there he is, all smoldering ! I love that he’s never doing the expected thing. He’s sensitive, yeah, but he can be hella bold too. Eliott doesn’t even respond to Chloé and challenges Lucas with his super expressive downright bedroom-y eyes. Lucas looks so pissed off and overwhelmed and done and turned on at the same time. Like how did Chloé not notice anything, she really is next-level oblivious. Bubbles are floating around them, I love that, works with the ‘brief bubble’ they find themselves in later. 

I think we wrote entire dissertations about their remake of the ‘Call Your Girlfriend” moment - how much longer it was and felt like an entire conversation. It left me so wired and breathless after I saw it. Eliott’s little “okay we can play that game” smug smirk, open mouthed kiss, jumping in sync with Lucille, both of them looking so cool together like college kids do to high schoolers, all easy grace and racy confidence, and those neon rings around their necks like fallen haloes - whereas Lucas looks like he’s just bumbling around and smashing his face on Chloé’s clumsily out of sheer nerves and annoyance and jealousy. Lucas staring angrily at Eliott who seems absorbed in kissing Lucille and having fun without him for a moment. And then. And then. We can see Eliott pivot and the white of his eyes as they open towards Lucas. He’s staring back ! This is the first moment that we, and Lucas, unequivocally know he wants him back. It’s a culmination of three frustrating weeks of them running after and dancing around each other. But finally, there is absolutely zero misinterpretation possible. And after that, the kissing slows down, it feels like they’re both floating, and as they close their eyes - Lucas especially - we just know that they’re picturing kissing each other instead. Like for a moment, they’re caught in a trance together, in this moment of confirmation, of stolen bliss, of revelation. And bam ! Lights back on and it’s extra brutal compared to OG because it’s not just a random cut, it’s the janitor and they’re in actual danger of being found out, it adds to the ‘caught in the act’ tension. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

 And then they run, and they find each other. Eliott just grinning and thriving in the general chaos is so funny. Another reason why the forbidden party thing is awesome - in the panic, their first reflex is to look for each other, and that is very revelatory of their priorities, but it also gives them the freedom to leave together unnoticed. Eliott walking Lucas home gives us those romcom sweetheart vibes. and it’s so. obvious. subtletly whomst ? Lucas keeps having to make the choice of following Eliott - and I love that Eliott is giving him these choices, it’s a way for him to progressively ease into choosing Eliott entirely. 

Canal St-Martin ! I’ve been there ! It’s very cute and romantic ! Then we have the conversation of absolutely Unsubtle Fishing.  I love that they keep giving each other outs -  to protect each other and their own hearts, to make it easy so they can deny if they need to (so it’s serious with this gf ? so you it’s really hot between you and this Chloé - lol Eliott you know it’s not - ? so you don’t want to be in a couple ? ) and just. NOT. TAKING. THEM. And being like no Chloé is too much it’s annoying, no my couple with Lucille is coming to an end, no bitch it’s you I want !!!!! It’s that reciprocal dance they do, Lucas tentatively coming out of his shell, Eliott giving him time but also making it easier for him (and more enthralling lol). But I did NOT expect Eliott to come out like that. Like ! I was in the tram when I watched this lol (I was still not aware of the importance of Vendredis back then) and. i. just yelped out loud like a moron lmaooo. I wanted to cheer him on like he was a football player that just scored. It’s just such bi/pan goals in particular to come out like that, so nonchalantly, because you’re so easily assumed to be straight and it’s kind of a pleasure to turn ppl’s expectations around, but it demands a certain level of confidence. I love how the music rises and it goes in a second from ‘friends hanging together all casual like’ to ‘yeah they want to jump each other’s bones’. Daaaaamn Manon. 

This clip is just so thrilling. Last Vendredi was the wonder of discovery but all very uncertain - this is confirmation that the special someone likes you back, and it’s such a high, they transcribe it so wellllllll.

11 questions asked and answered – SKAM edition

Rules:

1. Always repost the rules!

2. Answer the questions given to you by the one who tagged you!

3. Give 11 questions!

4. Tag 11 people!

I was tagged and asked by @fille-lioncelle​, thank you, babe <3 (this was fun!)

1. If you could change one thing about the OG/each remake you’ve seen, what would it be?

Can I just say... William?

From what I saw regarding Druck, I guess would have liked to get to know David better. There were quite a lot of hints about him and his previous life that were never followed up on, plus that his screen time was pretty limited. 

Regarding Skam France, which is the only other remake I’ve watched a substantial part of… if I have to pick only one, I guess I'll go with the writers having Lucas basically thank Chloé for outing him to the whole school. Not a very great message to young people.

2. Do you speak any of the languages it’s been (re)told in, and if so have you watched it? What was it like? If not, do you wish you did?

I do understand some French and some German, but not enough to really understand – but it was kind of interesting to see how much I could pick up. As for Norwegian, I didn’t understand too much when I first watched Skam – let’s just say my Norwegian has improved since then ;)

3. Do you have a favourite season? Which one?

Season 3, hands down. It’s pretty much the most perfect season of television I have ever seen, perfectly thought out (all the symbolism! the character arc! the subtle storytelling!!!), perfectly executed, perfectly acted.

However, season 1 follows very closely behind. I LOVE Eva’s journey and how the conclusion of her season is that she doesn’t need to focus on a boy or romance but on herself. What a great message to send to young girls!

4. Do you watch any of the remakes?

I’ve watched parts of Druck s1 and s2, and almost all of s3. And I watched s3 of Skam France until somewhere around episode 7.

And just single clips of Skam Austin when it started airing.

I’ve been kinda curious about Skam NL and Spain since many people seem to like them (plus! wlw storyline!!!) but I haven’t really found the time to watch them.

5. Do you think there are things the remakes have (notably) improved on?

….no.

I do like Druck’s adaptation of the original story in s3 (haven’t seen enough of the other seasons to say anything about them) –  not that I think they improved it per se, rather that they made their own version of it and made it work surprisingly well. 

6. Are there characters you wish had gotten more attention in the OG/remakes?

I wish Chris Berg had gotten to be more than the fat, funny friend (even if her own clip did show some promise for that). And I would have LOVED a Vilde season.

7. Do you (still) follow any of the OG/remake instagram accounts?

I haven’t had the heart to unfollow isakyaki, lol :)

8. Do you like the cabin episode from OG s2?

I’ve only watched it once, but I did like it then! (Good enough reason to rewatch, thank you! :))

9. How many jackets is too many jackets for one character?

HAHAHA best question ever!

If one should compare it to RL, one jacket is probably enough for one season at least (I’ve worn the same jacket for the last four winters or so?) (The obvious exception here being Even – the boy who somehow looks better the more layers he puts on, hahaha)

10. What’s your favourite party happening in any of the Skams?

GREAT question. If it wasn’t for it taking place at William’s house, I wouldn’t have minded being at that rooftop party at the end of s2.

11. Do you think you’d have been/would be friends with any of the characters in your teens? If so, who?

I would probably have been good friends with Noora, admired her quite a bit, and secretly have been pretty much in love with her.

My questions (these are all regarding Skam, lol, but you're welcome to answer for one of the remakes instead if you want):

1. Name a favourite scene from each season.

2. Did you watch Skam in real time?

3. Have you watched any of the remakes?

4. Which is your favourite character, and why?

5. Two characters that didn’t really interact on the show, but that you would have liked to see on screen together?

6. Your favourite musical moment in Skam?

7. Your favourite slo-mo scene?

8. Name a friendship that you would have liked to see explored further in the show.

9. Has there been a remake made in the country where you’re from? If so, how did it feel watching it in your own language and/or setting?

10. You get to take one character with you to a deserted island. Which one?

11. Whose season would you have wished for the most?

Thank you @homofilskammer and @hufflepuff-ish for tagging me, guys! I appreciate it, you rock!

1. When did you first start watching skam?

It was during Christmas right after season 3 of og finished, I binged all three seasons in a few days.

2. What is your favourite season to watch out of the 4?

Season 3 without a doubt. I love that season with all my heart.

3. Favourite remake

That’s a hard one, I feel like I can't really choose. Season 1 is my favourite in Skam it and Skam nl, season 2 in Druck, Wtfock, season 3 in Skam fr, Skam it and Skam es and Druck (i just said all of them lol), season 4 in Druck even though just one episode is out.

4. Least Favourite scene to watch

The one in season 2 where William leaves Noora crying on the ground because I hate that, and hotel scene in season 3 because it hurts too much.

5. Character you relate to the most

I guess it could be Eva, since she was feeling alone in her season, she was trying to find herself, trying to belong somewhere. And Even because of his mental ilness.

6. How many times have you rewatched skam?

A lot of times lol. I don’t usually rewatch other series but Skam is the exception. It always makes me feel different things. I always find smth new in it that I haven’t noticed before.

7. What remakes have you watched?

All of them, Im obssessed ok.

8. Which characters do you wish would get their own season after season 4?

Engel from skam nl, that girl deserves it, she would be an amazing main.

Elia from skam it, Eliott from skam france.

I’m buzzin‘ about Arthur’s season, i can’t even describe how excited I am.

9. Remake with the best soundtrack

Druck and Skam nl use amazing songs. And actually, what i didn’t expect at all was the soundtrack from Skam fr season 3, even though they had a low budget they used such an amazing artists that i haven’t heard about before.

10. What country would you want to get their own remake?

I would love to see a Slavic country, like Polish maybe. I know it wouldn’t be perfect, it would probably be a disaster, but i would watch it anyway. Also what about a Vietnamese skam? That would be wonderful.

11. One thing you would have changed in Skam and/or the remakes

It would certainly be the moment from season 2 where William walks away from Noora while she is crying and begging him on the ground, I hate that scene to pieces, that’s why I’m so glad that skam it and druck got rid of this scene

Also, I would love to get a season 3 without cheating, and I would change season 4 of og and france because Sana and Imane deserved so much more.

---------

 1.       If you could create an ultimate girl squad, who out of the skam universe would be in it and why?

There would definitely be Noora and Sana from og, Eva from Skam it, Cris from Skam es, Kiki and Amira from Druck, Imane and Alexia from Skam fr and Engel, Isa and Liv and Janna from Skam nl, and Zoe from Wtfock.

2.       If you could change one thing in each remake, what would it be?

(same answer) It would certainly be the moment from season 2 where William walks away from Noora while she is crying and begging him on the ground, I hate that scene to pieces, that’s why I’m so glad that skam it and druck got rid of this scene

Also, I would love to get a season 3 without cheating, and I would change season 4 of og and france because Sana and Imane deserved so much more.

3.       What is one plotline that you wish to see in a remake of your choice? (go wild lol)

Mental illness. I know that they acknowledged mi in season 3 but that's not enough since it's not from the point of view of a person dealing with mi. I feel like so much ppl would be so grateful to finally get our Even season since we didn't get it in the original. I want to get into his head, to feel his struggles, pain, thoughts.

4.       Which side character would you want to have their own season?

I would give my life for an Engel season. I love that girl to pieces, she is so well written. Also, an Elia’s season would make my life so much happier lol.

5.       What do you wish the fandom would appreciate more in each remake? (could be a season, a character, a scene, anything)

I feel like season one of each remake is not very appreciated. Like I get that it doesn't really have the biggest plot twist or whatever, but it's so important. The loss of friends, trying to find new ones and belong somewhere, finding yourself, struggles in a relationship, people deal with these themes on a daily basis. It's actually so helpful to see it on the screen.

6.       If you could create a crossover between the og/one of the remakes and a movie/tv series/book, what would it be?

Can we get a Skam in Harry Potter’s world? How freaking amazing would that be? The characters being wizards in Hogwarts while dealing with the problems that are acknowledged in Skam. Now I want this really bad.

7.       A crack ship that you wish would happen?

Elippo! pls made it happen

8.       Is there a character that is very different from you/you never thought you would like, but you ended up loving?

I have never really been a fan of Jonas, idk why, he wasn't bad or anything just not a person I would have a lot in common with but that changed with Giovanni, he is the best friend you could get, so helpful and understanding and omg everyone should have their own Gio.

9.       What is your favorite friendship? 

The Italian boy squad is the definition of friendship, also the Skam nl girl squad.

10.   Do you read any og/remakes fanfiction and if so, do you have any favorite fanfictions?

Actually, i don't. I used to love fanfics when I was younger but now I don't really like it as much? I am certain that the ppl writing these are doing amazing jobs and maybe I will give a shot to some of the fanfics I sometimes see on my dashboard, but now I'm not really in the mood for it.

11.   Would you have preferred if Skam worked a bit more like Skins did, in terms of every character gets a full episode from their pov instead of an entire season?

Definitely not. I loved Skins but just the thought of not being in the main character’s head for like three months straight? no i don't want it lol

But i wouldn't have a problem with the entirely last season to have episodes about the characters that didn't get their own season.

My 11 questions:

1. If you could get a Skam from any country where would it take place?

2. What character in all Skam universes is your least favorite?

3. If there would be a chance to get a Skam feature movie, about which character would you want it to be?

4. If you could play one of the characters, who would you choose?

5. What would you say to your favorite characters if you met them?

6. If you could create one Skam character, what would the person be like?

7. Which Skam would you choose to get renewed for their own seasons?

8. What character is the most similar to you?

9. If you could change one season from Skam and do it your way, what would it be about? (it can be anything)

10. Would you want to see Skam taking place in your country (if it already doesn't)?

11. In which girl/boy squad would you love to belong to?

SKAM

Skam Ranking

1. Skam (Norway)

 - started it all, absolutely unique and refreshing, great playlist, I love all of it’s characters, this show was made so no one would be hated - like literally no one

2. Skam NL

- awesome chemistry, it feels raw and quiet, reality, own flavour and twist, great gang, the things you did not feel on the original version can be felt here, the changes whether subtle or big is good, it did not feel suffocating, it never felt like you are watching something the you already know about, it is new yet familiar, it feels real, great aesthetics, awesome playlist

3. Skam Italia

- movie value, good chemistry, awesome characters, great acting, intense, you understand that this is a play / movie / film, portrayal of reality

4. Druck

- different, German, changes are good, twists made it different, changed to it’s culture, has annoying characters

5.  wtFOCK

- character based casts, vulnerable, changed with the time, good chemistry, too close to the original, the story needs more character - it needs a life of it’s own, some characters I can never get in touch with, needs more depth, strong characters are strong

6. Skam France

- has it’s moments, I love French, needs more character, the mirror of the original, I love the dramatic parts, great looking men, chemistry in some parts - not at all in others

7. Skam Austin

- the only Noora-William relationship wherein I did not feel chemistry, too Hollywood, it has it’s moments of reality, awesome side characters, I need a connection, too cold and distant (maybe that is the reality of America?)

To be determined... Skam España

Maybe my certain views gets better.

100520191500

Skam Italia - Ele needs to stop closing her damn eyes, where is the Ele I can connect to. She is a good actress, she needs to act less, naturality suits her.

100520192014

wtFOCK - finally! I am connecting to you. You are turning out to be one of my favorites. Skam Austin - great reaction from Grace - great change from the OG plot, still feels a bit off, natural friend reaction

I NEED A “WILLIAM” THAT WILL REACT DIFFERENTLY - I need a change, just curious. Noah? Senne? My hopes?

110520191205

Skam NL - Liv...that fade away shot. Aesthetics is great. Amazing. The best Skam so far. I may need to change the rankings now. If Noah ends up fulfilling my wish, well. End of.

110520191720

wtFOCK - Senne is so vulnerable, he is the only “William” that I have found so far that makes me feel like we have to shield him from all the crap that is coming because he has had enough of that already - like a puppy. When Zoe whispered - heart is melting. Zoe also feels so vulnerable, the way they changed the scene when Senne / William asked if she was done ranting - magic.

Little things always make the remakes so much more than the same storyline, they are telling their own story.

Skam NL gives me all the colours and wtFOCK is giving me the solitude I look for.

110520191831

So... I have been rewatching that scene a couple of times now and Skam NL, I just realised, is not going with the same timeline as the other versions. It’s usually “Noora” confused --> tries to figure out what happened --> thinks everything is okay --> tries to get back with “William” --> receives the message --> completely goes into solitude

Druck also changed it but it was mainly because they changed who did what to who -- old friend instead of brother.

I really think (hope) that Noah would be the change I am looking for. OR... they could totally shit me and send Liv away to disappear somewhere else.

120520190855

Skam France - yes, I said create your own story arc but I never said to ruin what is working for the show. The thing that worked best for Skam is the relationship of the bus girls, that no matter how annoying each individual person gets - they stick up for each other - they got each other’s back. This is why I was not very happy when Kiki was demanding Mia to break up with Alexander - THAT IS NOT HOW THIS STORY WORKS! Tweak everything you can but you should never have a conflict between those girls, you are not supposed to. That is how friendship works, you question every decision the other person makes but you ALWAYS hold their hands. DUH.

Skam NL - killing me now, just give me Noah’s reaction already, song was on point, I thought that I would not be able to forgive you for my Monday with no video but you have proven me wrong - at this point I think I can forgive almost everything that you do.

Skam Austin - .

140520190230

Skam France - get over it laready, what I absolutely liked about Skam was that it did not dwell too much on the negativity - this is just DRAMA! Also, Yousef and Sana’s relationship was not confusing, they like each other. End of. There was that conflict with Noora maybe but that only lasted for less than an episode. GET OVER IT NOW please...it also was not this annoying.

Skam NL - why torture me this way? Hoping that all these days (one day) without even a chat or something means I get a really good reaction from Noah, you got me at the edge of my seat here.

wtFOCK - please do not fuck this up. Hah. Pun intended. Love the chemistry between Senne and Zoe, they are the most real teenage William and Noora so far, I love that Zoe is still the strong character that she is but remains a girl on the inside, hopefully she reacts differently when Senne fucks up - maybe that’s what I need from this version... not a different William but a different Noora. Love it!

Skam Austin - I just don’t know how to connect with you.

150520192021

Skam NL - that was a great change to the storyline, that part kind of never made sense to me - when that happens to you, it isn’t something that you can talk about. I should know. Knowing how Noora’s character is so independent and strong, she would definitely pretend as if nothing has happened and just move on. Accidentally finding it that way is way more believable. I then love how Isa, after seeing the video, immediately looks to Liv. She immediately has that pull to see how her friend is doing, that look just said a lot of things to me. And that ending, it’s a band of strong independent women.

wtFOCk - Senne is turning out to be the best bad boy William so far.The way he kisses Zoe is amazing, these two have a great chemistry together. I just need a bit more change on how they approach the storyline, they need to create a story of their own because I can totally see Senne to be the William that looses it and beats up his brother when he finds out what he did.

Skam Italia - Ele needs to get back to the natural acting part but Edo’s cry. Wow. Just when I think that I am movng away, they do something that draws me right back in. I love how she tells him what happened instead of him hearing it from someone else that leaves any normal person to have questioning loyalty. Good job.

180520191116

Skam NL - the aesthetics and sound is always on point, the latest clip breaks my heart more than anything else - I admit that I was expecting a different “William” reaction, more like hoping really, but I have to say I was not disappointed. Maybe I am too far out loving the series that I cannot find fault anymore *hearteyes*

wtFOCK - Zoe and Senne, wow - chemistry to the highest level, the girls dynamic here is also like NL which I love, they can not tolerate something from one another but they definitely love each other

Skam France - DRAMA! I actually liked how Imane is trying to explain herself but I also get why the other girls cannot understand her because she is not opening either but all this Manon and Charles drama is too much for me, the OG focused more on Sana and how she becomes an adult and showing her vulnerability through love - this is just DRAMA!

Skam Austin - you do nothing for me

210520192011

[lightsandlostbells]

Skam France episode 8 reaction

everybody’s favorite gross-out scene, made even grosser

Clip 1 - Emma going for blood

I didn’t think that anything could live up to Woodkid’s “Run Boy Run”, which is one of my favorite songs even before it was on Skam, but surprisingly they managed to pick one of my other favorite songs, “Hard Times” by Seinabo Sey. I have both of these songs on a writing playlist titled “revenge.” And I actually like the sequence of her walking over there and yelling for him outside his door.

I do like Yann. I’ve been critical of him but I don’t actually loathe him as a character or anything. I’m just really have not rooting for him and Emma to get back together in the same way that I had feelings for Eva and Jonas, like that relationship had plenty of problems but part of me still wanted those wacky kids to work it out. I really don’t feel Emma and Yann are good together, like I think being with Emma makes Yann less tolerable for me and a lot of his beef with her feels less like disappointment or betrayal, but a growing problem with who she is as a person, who her friends are and what she’s interested in, and that’s a way bigger red flag. It’s a big surprise because I had a good feeling from them at the start.

Clip 2 - Daphne “back” with Ingrid

The girl squad dynamic is certainly one of this remake’s strengths and I enjoyed this conversation. Imane’s comments about Obama are a good point and an interesting perspective. Actually I think it fits with the message of Druck’s opening monologue pretty well.

I am here for Alex’s version of the Hunger Games.

Daphne is so deeply awkward. Even more awkward than Vilde, because Vilde managed to put on this cheerful smile and say some positive (wistful) things about the girl squad’s bus, and when Pepsi Max walked in she managed to keep it together a bit more and come up with “I’ll go get my jacket” which is not a terrible excuse in the moment, but Daphne got so flustered and like WHOOPS GOTTA BLAST.

Clip 3 - Boy fight

I like Yann so much more when he’s not with Emma. Like it feels like he shows his not-so-great qualities in this relationship, which is not actually her fault, but it makes me want them to be apart.

Even compared to Jonas, Jonas suggested that Eva contact Isak and when she’s like oh yeah,  forgot, he just has a little confused look. But when Yann tells Emma to contact Lucas and she’s like, oh yeah, I didn’t have time, he questions it and pushes her to do it. Now I get it, he’s looking out for his friend in a hard time and “I forgot” (mistake) =/= “I didn’t have time” (excuse), but it’s just a subtle difference in their relationship dynamic.

Raptor Alex is even more a dick than P-Chris, man. Alex actually seems like he’s entertained by the situation while P-Chris seemed over it and well, awkwaaaaaaard.

This fight feels so forced, lol. Charles just stepping in and getting hailed as a hero … bruh, whatevs.

Literally my favorite thing William ever did on this show was slowly descend the stairs without any hurry or change in his expression and casually intervene in the fight. Charles seemed more on top of it.

Yann for fuck’s sake, Emma did not actually make Alex be a dick to you and she didn’t make you shove him. That’s your own fault. I get it, he’s still mad that she kissed Alex and this is just a reminder, but also, chill. Again: I really am not rooting for Emma and Yann to be together at all.

Eva seemed like she was trying to calm Jonas down and he stomped off, but with Emma apologizing and Yann glaring and walking off it straight up seems like Yann is blaming her for what just happened.

Clip 4 - Camille invites Emma

This scene doesn’t quite have that tone of “girls gotta support girls” but there is at least the message that girls should start paying attention to stuff other than boys who cause drama.

Yeah that food looks nasty, I wouldn’t touch it either, Camille.

Clip 5 - Girl squad love fest

I am all about that Eva/Noora in OG Skam but I think I kinda ship Emma/Ingrid here. And I’d be kinda down for a French Ingrid season, unlikely as that is. Loved her sitting with the squad.

Also good: Alex telling Manon how sexy she is in a random (made-up?) language. As well as hoping girls will “fight” over her at the party. Missed opportunity to see some of that in action!

Oh thank god they moved the Lucas confrontation to a bedroom. Can you imagine how awkward it would be in that open kitchen area within earshot of everybody?

I loved how Emma is like Lucas 😊😊 I have to tell you something! Making it seem pleasant.

Man, okay. I don’t want to rag on these actors, but my initial reaction to this scene was like “if Lucas’ big secret were that he has a bunch of bodies buried somewhere, I would believe it.” 

I just don’t get much ambiguity, vulnerability, or subtlety from him? I know they can’t all be Tarjeis but he was so damn good in this scene, even better on a rewatch, when you knew what was really going down, you could feel all the conflicted emotions underneath. Lucas just feels super blank. I think some of it is his eyes? They don’t feel very expressive.

His body language and facial expressions are so weirrrrd and stiff. I know Isak/Lucas is supposed to be fake fake fake prior to S3 but this doesn’t feel like there’s anything below that surface, and I need something to go on to have some sort of attachment to him, especially when he’s done something very shitty and hurtful. Like the way he segues between these mood shifts/ personalities is robotic.

Even the way he asks Emma not to tell Yann is creepier! It’s less like he’s worried or vulnerable and more just like ominous, though some of that is the lighting. I don’t think it’s intentional, it’s just the acting, sorry. I can see that he’s trying? It’s just not coming across well.

Was some dude taking pictures of Daphne after she collapsed? How helpful.

The way all the girls carried Daphne together was lovely.

This scene had a lot to live up to and for the most part it did a good job. The girls were sweet and had some good reactions. Though I think some of the irony/humor was lost from the fact that the song choice was pretty damn serious. The contrast of Vilde vomiting to this angelic Christian song is a funny part of a serious scene, here Daphne vomiting here and the girls laughing did feel more out of place, tonally.

Also the vomit effects were so gross. Grooooosssssss.

Imane’s facial expressions after Daphne barfed in her lap were great, though.

How much do I love that shot of Imane curling up around Daphne? How muuuuuuch ❤️❤️

The ending overhead shot of all five girls was great.

Clip 6 - morning after

It’s really odd that this scene was placed at the end of the episode instead of leaving it on the girls in bed? Especially since it’s not a Friday clip. IDK what the logic or reasoning was except juggling time limits for each episode.

We didn’t get Eva’s iconic line about blackouts but there was a nice line from Imane about God having better things to do than erase drunk people’s memories. And Manon cuts more to the chase and is more directly comforting and huggy than Noora, who brought up Vilde’s pregnancy in an awkward, roundabout way and lightly tried to play it off as just a trip to the school doctor. Manon has more of a nurturing personality.

Yo, not to take away from this touching moment and all, but am I the only one who’s concerned about the proximity of those pastries to a stick that’s been peed on? My priorities.

General Comments:

I don’t know how I feel about some of these text messages where the girls recap whatever just happened in the last clip. It happened in the original sometimes but IDK, I prefer to read random conversations about silly stuff, or stuff we can’t get in the clips.

Emma being like “Charles was great” about the fight in the chat … girl … Daphne is still in the chat. And Daphne was massively hurt by that asshole like a week or two ago. Him stepping into a fight isn’t a call to glorify his ass.

I’ve been kinda ehhh on a lot of the social media, mostly from overkill, but my favorite IG post so far is Yann and Lucas reenacting the bike scene from ET to the theme music.

The music felt a bit downplayed in this episode and used most in scenes where it was relevant, so good job.

The girl squad group dynamic is definitely one of the strongest parts of the show.
