SANDER MAKING A SHOW OF KISSING BRITT EYES ON ROBBE FML ?!?(!#!&

Visual Effects in Only Friends MV part 2

The second song on the Only Friends OST dropped today; So What? by the amazing Ford Arun. Much like the first MV for Only Friends, this one is also has visual frameworks that made me stop and stare.

Just like my first post on this subject, where I talked about the late 90s/early 00s aesthetic of the show as well as controlled voyeurism (aka we only see what they want us to see), these themes show up again here, but a little differently. Unlike the Let's Try MV and the BTS vids which use multiple different effects and transitions as well as framing a lot of the scenes to look like (possibly) 90s camcorder footage, So What? has two visual effects (I think technically three, and I'll point out why I say it this way in a minute).

The first one is the camcorder footage effect. Except that it's even different from the Let's Try MV. While the Let's Try MV has the "play" prompt onscreen and time stamps, it now, to me, feels more like CCTV video than camcorder video. The video effect on So What? is definitely camcorder footage because it is time and date stamped.

Now, the time and date stamp is February 1st, 2020 at 6:06pm for every screen it appears on, which to me cannot be an accurate date/time for any of the scenes. Several of these scenes were from episodes 4, 5, 6, or potentially yet to air. Chuem drops info about Covid in episode one and in February of 2020, we were so early into the pandemic during that time that I'm not sure she would have referred to it so casually, plus with no Covid precautions being taken onscreen it does feel the show is set currently (aka 2023).

Why this date? Why 6:06pm? WHAT IS JOJO TRYING TO SAY HERE? Is this a specific reference to something upcoming on the show? Is this date famous in Thailand for something? Did he just pull a date and time out of a hat?

Onto the second effect: the yellow text on the screen is back! It was heavily used as a visual effect in episode one, and after a discussion with @ignoranaxed I did add it to my Narrative Frameworks post where I'm tracking visual effects on the show. We discussed whether or not this was an homage or reference to SKAM Norway, an extremely popular coming of age teen drama that had an amazingly done queer season (Season three. If nothing else, stop what you're doing and go watch SKAM Norway season three. You can thank me later). The show was so popular it has been remade in Spain, Italy, France, Germany (named Druck), Belgium (named WtFock), the United States and has even been announced as a Korean (BL?) drama for next year.

Is this an actual homage? I came down on the side of maybe. I can't swear it is, but I can't say it isn't. That yellow text on the screen is iconic due to SKAM Norway, and it is used in every single remake of the show (if Korea doesn't use it, I will cry. Also, if Korea doesn't release/air it in the same way, I will cry). Leaving that aside, the yellow text is in Thai, and as yet, I have no idea what it says because my subs only translated the song lyrics, not the onscreen words. If anyone who knows Thai can help me with this, I would love you forever because there's one other thing that shows up in yellow on the screen, and it's this:

WHY AN ELLIPSES, JOJO? WHAT DID IT SAY BEFORE THIS? I NEED TO KNOW WHY IT'S TRAILING OFF. IS IT TO BE CONTINUED? THE NOT KNOWING WILL DRIVE ME INSANE.

Onto the third , but maybe not really an effect: Is Ford photoshopped in here?

I ask this because if he is (and I can't quite tell but I think maybe?) then does that mean this is future footage coming up on the show? Or, like Let's Try MV did with it's extra SandRay footage in the car, was this just shot for the MV? I'm curious to see what people think on this.

Now for the rest of the MV where I just melt down because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DRAMA BETWEEN YO AND PLUG, JOJO? YOU CAN'T DO THIS. Also, is this Sand hugging Yo?

You can't do this to my girl. This will hurt.

Do we think this is Boston and Nick potentially going ice skating or roller skating? Because if it's roller skating, JOJO I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.

In summary, the visual frameworks are back in play once again and what they're choosing to show and how feel important.

omg i picked up skam (og) again bcs i was bored and i’m really getting into it all over again jejdjdjdj btw which ver is ur favorite (s) and why ?

i feel like i can't say that one version of skam holistically is my favorite. it's more like it depends on what i'm valuing. most people's obsession with the og peaked with evak. like you really had to be there in 2016 watching each update drop bc it was all over tumblr. noorhelm was popular in its own right and then there were the iconic scenes of the girls walking to the party or willhelm and his gang walking into school that went viral during their season but i don't think most people actually liked willhelm and frankly neither did i (albeit og noora was adorable and i love her!). the sana season was frustrating but sana and youssef had insaaaane chemistry, so i still really cherish that along with the evak season

other than that, skam italia and wtfock do noorhelm best (esp italia. i could write essays on incantava. i have written essays lmao i was absolutely obsessed with every facet of their season) but i don't particularly care for any of their other seasons or content (albeit i do have a soft spot for sobbe in wtfock). druck is probably the best overall adaptation but i only really care for amira/mohammed and spiderwitz. skam espana does vilda/magnus best but with the rest of the ships i only enjoy the initial development before ultimately losing interest bc they insert weird plot twists. skam nl aesthetically is gorgeous and has one of the best depictions of the central girl group, but that's about it. i don't even register skam france. and skam austin is too weird to process in my head bc i live in texasgjdfhklgdfg

💌 if ur still doing these <33

ofc I’m still doing these and even if I wasn’t I would make an accepting for you <3 first of all. the raven cycle (I know it’s a book series I know nothing else), the entire country do canada (whenever I hear about somebody or something in canada I wonder if it’s by you), wtfock (sorry), the ocean (that first icon of yours that I saw was well. Iconic.), and going along with that is sky blue. actually just blue. it’s your color what can I say

[gezellig]

she is beauty she is grace. she is an icon. she is a poc lesbian actress we didn’t spend enough time talking about

yess she deserved her own season so much!! (if written by other people because wtfock obviously doesn’t do well with writing women of color). i wish yara the best and i hope we’ll get to see her in something else someday!!

Prejudice plunges us into a world of fear and hate. That's no way to live.

The fundamental basis of life must always be the freedom to be who we are and to love who we wish at our side. What matters most is not 'what' we are, but 'who' we are.

I'm going through a moment of how much I NEED Sander Driesen back 😩 so I have a question for you. If wtFock hadn't chosen David Bowie for s3 which musician do you think they would have picked?

no because at this point i would give up a vital organ just to see sander walk past as a background character in the wtfock new gen like it’s bad for me

as for your question honestly david bowie being sander’s thing is so iconic and perfect that even considering something else feels so fucking wrong

but if i had to think about it against my WILL i’d say i couldn’t see sander’s favourite artist being anything other than like something rock, alt rock adjacent. if i was being boring i’d pick something similar like queen but that’s not fun. i think i’ve said before that i really think sander would like the kinks (who always get overlooked because of the beatles but let me mind my business)

it would’ve been cool if it was like the smiths i feel like the lyrics and sound would really reflect sander’s character or if we went with something more modern a band like the strokes or the white stripes or my chemical romance would be interesting. elliott smith or death cab for cutie could also have been cool picks

but ultimately i don’t think any of these really drive home who sander is as a person or a character like david bowie does. because bowie wasn’t just a musician he had all this mythos around him he was always evolving, he was like seven different people but somehow always himself. he was magic he was unbelievable and i feel like that’s how we’re supposed to see sander because that’s how robbe sees him but also bowie was a person he was really just a man, with a lot of thoughts and a lot of hurt but also a lot of love and sander is that too and i genuinely don’t think any other artist fits quite right.

The fact that the most important plots in the season aka absent parents, struggling with dysfunctional family, discovering your sexuality, SA which still unnecessary, first love and struggling with finding your place and voice was used as subplots and the most ridiculous and stupid one aka hanne bring hit by a door is the main one... like the biggest miss of wtfock writers and still they Managed to create an amazing ship who could rival the iconic ships of skam franchise and instead of nurturing them they are destroying them without need like honestly is Bobbie is still behaving like a jackals idk. I'm seriously starting to believe that they never intended for them to end up together at the end.

Exactly, like they had do many good plots, but then had hyperfocus on Bobbies addiction and weed use, and now we're here, its so annoying
