#l mean the people I usually interact with when it comes to skam are already fairly educated on the subject of MI

My mom watches SKAM 💫😌

Season 3 Episode 8 (well, shit)

- "Is he gone?? AGAIN???"

- "hahaha Eskild and Noora are two seconds away from flirting with him"

- "he cooks? Isak, keep him"

- "in all seriousness, I don't get Even. What is he playing at?"

- "yeah yeah but you left last time so his uncertainty is justified"

- "Good Isak, stand your ground"

- "huh? What? He's barely making sense"

- "Idk....I don't think the Sonja thing is true...I don't trust him"

- "Is he gay in real life? He's not?? Wow he's a good actor"

- "man of his dreams? Ok yeah that's cute"

- "I'm glad he's happy but umm.... I still don't trust Even"

- "aww he just wants kisses"

- "His dad doesn't care for him does he?

- " *gasp* he's telling his dad??? Holy shit he told him"

- "...crap....hmm ok but I still don't know what's wrong with his mom..."

- "oh...Sana knows, she wouldn't be telling him that if she didn't"

- "Sana's very smart, she doesn't let herself fall into a prejudiced mindset. Completely agree with everything she said" (my mom's religious so she really relates to Sana in that sense)

(when I tell you I cried for the first time ever watched the Sana and Isak scene bcs my mom was next to me-)

- "Magnus hahaha.....ok just expose your friend like that"

- "Sonja?....oh"

- "I'm getting a bad feeling. Something doesn't feel right"

- "Does she want to tell him that Even just plays with people???"

- "oh he's telling his mom...hope that goes well"

- "a suite? Where do you get the money for that?"

- "Is he joking or just flirting with her...?" (Wow she really can't trust him at all)

Hotel scene...

- "I'm too attached to Isak to watch him have sex...." (Translation: he's her son now)

- "umm...."

- "Isak's uncomfortable. I can tell he's uncomfortable"

- "Is he okay?"

- *notices me about to cry* "what's wrong with you? What's going on?"

- "Is he going to jump out the window?"

- "oh god pls don't tell me he...dies...he doesn't right"

- "he went out naked...."

- "Manic? What's that? What does that mean?"

- "what....? What does that mean..?

Highlight (not so much of a highlight tbh)

So I explained to the best of my ability what Bipolar is and how it's affects people and how you can see it in Even. She sort of understood but not exactly. I mean, even after understanding what Bipolar meant, and the Sonja thing and why Even saw her as controlling, she kinda kept the "oh so he's like crazy....he loves Isak but he's a little crazy" mentality. It's late and I didn't really want to fight her on that so.... I'm very excited for the next 2 episodes hopefully helping her change that.
