I feel fandom would get along a lot better if there was mutual understanding that liking a character, agreeing with a character, and thinking the character is well constructed/executed are all separate (if often overlapping) positions, each with their separate tastes and subjectivities. Also: character portrayals are intended to make the audience feel things; this is separate from (if often overlapping with) analyzing/appreciating their actions and role in the story.

IF YOU HAVENT READ THE HOW FAMILIAR THE DANGER SERIES (by LiterallyThePresident on ao3), WHY NOT

this isn’t from a specific scene. I was just aiming for the vibe of these two from this au because I’m absolutely obsessed with it and the characterization of Ballister especially will not leave my brain.

I just finished watching Skam (Norway) today and let’s just say I’m not kidding when I say this is one of the BEST shows I’ve ever watched. I did take a lot of time to watch all the seasons (spanning over one year) but I enjoyed each and every moment of it. Well, some a little less than others. Hence, I have some thoughts and please forgive my yapping.

Okay so Season 1. I actually liked it quite a lot. The acting was good, and it gave a nice start to the whole story.

The getting together of the girls was the highlight obviously, but I really liked the portrayal of Eva in this, as a kind of lost teenager who doesn’t have a lot of direction in her life and is mostly dependent on her boyfriend.

I did think the Isak plot line in this was a little badly done, but I guess it was necessary for the big reveal in the end.

I think the fact that Eva was able to resolve things with Ingrid was very unrealistic, considering they had literally been besties and she basically stole her man. But really idk.

Talking about Jonas, he was majorly gaslighting Eva during the season so I think their relationship was a little immature. Classic right person wrong time.

Penetrator Chris is SO HOT. Especially in that mf smoky eye makeup istg. But he’s a giant asshole and we do not support him.

Season 2. Okay. First let’s start with the showstealer. Eskild my man. I don’t think Eskild is appreciated enough in the whole series but I absolutely love him!! He is so mature, and is such a good friend. I love the dynamic between him and Noora and even him and Linn.

Now let’s address the elephant in the room because why not? I did not like Noorhelm all that much. William never had much of a character development and we never get to see him expressing a lot of emotions. I forever stand by the opinion that Noora was too good for him. Many people talk about William’s support of Noora’s decision to not have sex, but really, that’s like settling for the bare minimum that can be expected from a decent person.

I think the dickhead of a brother had more personality than William. So in conclusion, season 2 did not really impress me but I’d watch it again for Eskild.

Eva hooking up with Chris?? The guy she cheated on her ex with? Can’t say I like this.

Season 3 is SO well done. There’s no question about it. I love Isak’s slow acceptance of his sexuality. From being a closeted gay guy who made homophobic comments to fit in, to a happy and out gay guy in a relationship.

Absolutely adore the boys. Jonas, Mahdi, Magnus. I especially loved Magnus and his take on the whole situation.

Eskild coming in and stealing the show yet again?!!

Emma and Sonja are VICTIMS. As much as I love Evak, they fucked their girlfriends over pretty bad and I hate them for it. Also, Emma is soooooooooo pretty.

The story of Even. His whole character portrayal. The picturisation of his mental issues. Chef’s kiss.

Minute by minute??? Are you trying to kill me here??? It is SO wholesome and they both have matured so much, especially Isak, dealing with his sexuality plus his boyfriend’s mental issues so delicately.

Their chemistry. Their chemistry. Their chemistry.

Sonja should NOT have apologised.

Overall, this season is tied with the fourth as my favourite.

Season 4. Sana is my favourite character hands down. She is portrayed so well, we see all her insecurities, beliefs so beautifully.

Yousana is my favourite couple. Evak is a close second.

The understanding between them, the intellectual conversations, the level of maturity. Just wondrous.

I did think the whole situation with the russ bus was overdone. I never really understood why Sana was so involved with it in the first place. This could easily have been summed up in one episode leaving time for more Yousana development.

Yousef is such a green flag omg. He’s literally the cutest out of all skam boys( my opinion). I just wish he had more screen time.

Elias and Sana??? Whatever bits and pieces we got to see of their relationship were GOLD.

I. Love. My. Girls. So. Much. I just wish Sana was shown interacting more with all of them, not just Noora. Also Yousef and Noora working together to thaw Sana??

I canNOT stress this enough. Yousef and Sana are the best couple ( besides Evak obviously). The chemistry, the flirting, everything was done so right that it got me blushing furiously through the screen. And they managed to do all this without showing any kind of physical contact. Just lovely. The way they counter each other’s opinions with such delicacy and respect makes me believe that they are definitely going to last.

The situation with Even and Mikael and all the balloon squad boys should have been given more screen time.

The way Sana’s faith and her relationship with her family were handled are commendable. We see the dilemma, the cogs of her brain working, and how she accepts her fate and doesn’t sway from her beliefs. I strongly believe that her and Yousef will handle their differences maturely and still come out to be a strong couple.

I SWEAR SHE AND I ARE SOULMATES?????? Cutest shit I’ve ever seen.

Sana and Isak’s friendship means so much to me. In Season 3, we see her rising above her opinions and respecting homosexuality. Here we see Isak figuring Sana out and helping her see beyond her strong opinions. And wdym Sana??? You are best buds.

Okay. The last episode. I absolutely loved it. It’s one of the best season finales I’ve ever watched. We go into the lives of all the girls and some of the guys too. I literally teared up at the Eskild and Linn part!!( idk why they still address Chris as penetrator Chris when his face is literally on the screen like people we know it’s not our girl?? Idk I find it extremely funny). I wish they had shown more of Vilde and Chris’ friendship in the past and not just the final episode. The Even part was absolutely incredible. His insecurities, his fears, and we see him pacifying Isak and not the other way around. Yousef texting Sana from Turkey?? And saying he’ll take her there?? My heart melted.

I literally don’t think Noorhelm is going to last long even though they have reconciled. Something just seems off. Joneva is back??? Didn’t really like the buildup but I guess they could be a good couple as they are more mature than the last time.

Okay. So that sums it up more or less. My favourite was season 4, closely followed by season 3. My favourite characters were Sana and Eskild, they were just so amazing. I related to Sana fiercely all through the show.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk. Feel free to give your own opinions please!!!!

Fav season of skam story wise?

definitely season 3 for so many reasons i love the queer representation and mental health issues being looked at in such a real way not romanticizing it or making it go away because you fell in love. Also the symbolism and parallels were amazing. Isak is also my favorite character so his season will naturally be my favorite i love watching him work through his internalized homophobia and him and Jonas in s3 make me so happy as well as him and sana. The o helga natt scene might be the most beautiful scene in television that I’ve ever seen i love it sm. Anyway i could rant about s3 forever but My favorite season in all the remakes/universes but Norway did it the best in my opinion

I have this Dark headcanon that I've become very attached to. We know how Eva dies, but we don't really know how Adam dies. We know Jonas/Adam kills every version of Martha: the Martha from his world, the young Alt-Martha, and Eva. I really like the idea of everything being paralleled with Jonas and Martha, so I like to think that Adam is killed by alt-Martha just like his other younger self.

We know that after Adam fails to destroy the origin, he goes to Eva and kills her (in the reality where Claudia doesn't interfere, of course). When you think about it, killing Eva doesn't really accomplish anything: she has already given birth to the Unknown, she has already set everything in motion for the loop to continue, killing her just perpetuates the loop. It's nothing more than a desperate act from Adam after seeing that his plans failed, that he killed the love of his life twice, ruined his own life and it all was for nothing. So I like to think that after killing Eva, he travels to whenever young alt-Martha is with her young son, and tries to kill them both in a last attempt to end it all. Martha defends her son and ends up killing Adam, closing his loop just like he closed Eva's loop.

I just love the idea of these two fated lovers, who are both perfect for each other but also completely wrong. Who are destined to always love each other no matter what world they are in, but also destined to ruin each other's lives and kill every version of the other. In my mind, Jonas and Martha must always die by each other's hand.

I Love You I’m Sorry x Last Kiss

“You were the best but you were the worst, as sick as it sounds, I loved you first, I was a dick, it is what it is. A habit to kick, the age-old curse, I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad. I stare at the crash, it actually works. Making amends, this shit never ends. I'm wrong again, wrong again… — So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep, And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe. And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are. Hope it's nice where you are, and I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day, and something reminds you you wish you had stayed. You can plan for a change in the weather and time… but I never planned on you changing your mind… The way life goes, joyriding down our road, Lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me, I love you, I'm sorry. — So I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes. All that I know is I don't know, how to be something you miss… The way life goes, I wanna speak in code. Hope that I don't, won't make it about me… I’m wrong again, wrong again… And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are… Hope it's nice where you are (hope that I don’t won’t make it about me) I love you, I’m sorry”

“Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me? But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave, and I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen… Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be, 'Cause we're crazy. So tell me, who else is gonna know me? At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger, and put it on the one people put wedding rings on, and that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding… who’s gonna hold you? Nobody. No fucking body. And I wake with your memory over me. That's a real fucking legacy, legacy (it was maroon) And I wake with your memory over me, that’s a real fucking legacy to leave.”

So... how long do we have to wait for Netflix Nordic to pick up & make a reboot of SKAM? You know, just asking for a friend *cough*

I just had another fanfic idea which I’ll eventually write

modern!AU singer!Sansa, guitarist!Theon

Sansa writes a song which is very similar to Halsey’s Strange Love and EVERYONE thinks it’s about her guitarist Theon because of course they are friends since they were kids and they are always together and they actually would make a nice couple and during a concert she looked at him while singing that specific track so the internet goes crazy thinking they cracked the code of the mysterious boyfriend.

Except that they couldn’t be more wrong and the song is actually dedicated to Sansa’s real boyfriend (footballer!HarroldHardyng; they somehow managed to keep it secret) and YES, in that specific gig she was looking at Theon while singing the damned song but only because her brother, Robb, who Theon had been in love since they were teenager was in the backstage

[tailsbeth-writes]

I may finally finish this series, I've got such an urge. If I can't find the original plan for the last episodes though, I might have to do a rewatch and mix it up. I always felt so bad for leaving it open like that (damn life getting in the way) so hopefully we can finally give Magnus a send off!

Season 5 - Magnus (entry for @skambigbang 2019​)

Magnus Fossbakken is entering his final year of school and everything seems to be cracking, including himself. When the family have to come home early from their holiday because his Mum has another manic episode, Magnus starts a journey to rock bottom. He’s scared, numb, frustrated and he has no idea how to handle it. When poor decisions make things go from bad to worse, Magnus has to learn how to get back up again and talk to the people who care for him.

My fanfiction baby has finally come to life! I’ve been working on the ideas for this for so long when this year’s big bang came along, I knew I had to finally write Magnus his season. You’ll notice little callbacks to previous seasons and maybe an easter egg or too. It’s a personal season, dealing with family, mental health issues like depression and the symptoms to actually look out for in friends and family. I hope you enjoy reading this series as much as I have writing it.

Massive thank you to @chloevlntine for creating this beautiful artwork for the season, I absolutely love it.

You can follow the season playlist on spotify here, links through out the fic lead to each individual song.

[Episode 1-6 are currently up, 4 more episodes will be uploaded by the end of the week. If you’re feeling nostalgic and can resist reading ahead, I plan on realising the season in real time over on @shame-in-norwegian, starting April 16th! Follow over there & the tag #season5magnus for updates 💛]
