your tags on the post with all the insanely dumb excuses people give for wtfock completely blowing it with the pov!!!! i’ve been yelling the same thing on twitter for a couple of days now. the mental gymnastics to justify it! simone biles is shaking. anyway just wanted to agree!! also while i’m here YEAH GIVE MICKEY THE WORLD!!!

i try to mostly yell about these things in my head bc i don’t wanna be a party pooper, but some of the things i read just made my eyes roll back so far in my head that i had to yell them here. ‘simone biles is shaking’ 🤣 no but REALLY, they’re reaching so much their arms must hurt. and i mean i get it, when you really like something (or *want* to like it) it’s hard to admit that it’s bad so you try to make excuses for it, but……please, it should at least make sense?? robbe hates attention *so much* that sometimes he isn’t even in the clips!!! (robbe @ wtfock writers: hey guys, i don’t want all this focus, i didn’t ask for all this focus, so please show more of my friends ok? i’ll still be part of the season, but don’t make me be a main ok, i’m shy. thanks guys!) 🙄 just acknowledge they’ve been making some bad decisions this season (lbr that’s true for alllll the remakes, even the so called ‘superior’ ones, hell even og (*besides og s3, that season is 100% flawless i take no criticism)), and enjoy it anyway if you can. trying to come up with some profound symbolism to make this all make sense will just end up in disappointment for you!

hi hel!!! would you make a gifset of the three times eliott walked away backwards from lucas? the time he didn’t kiss him in ep 5, the time after he ran back for more kisses in ep 8, and then when he got on the bus in ep 10? thank you!!!

hey!! here you go ✨

[tommolinson]

if you’re in the mood for gif requests i would LOVE something of lucas and eliott with “wild heart” by bleachers. the line “well everything has changed / and now it’s only you that matters / i will find any way to your wild heart” in particular gives me extreme elu feelings (also the lines about being brave, actually). anyway, if/when you have time i think it would be beautiful! thanks either way — love your work. 💖

loved this request so much! hope you like the end result 🙊 (i love this song so much – after i watched love simon i’ve listened to it on repeat for the whole night 🙏🏼❤️) here you go!

Viri, Hugo and Dilan

@liftupyourhands brought up on twitter that Viri is now the William to Hugo’s Noora and Dilan’s Vilde. Like Vilde, Dilan showed interest in Viri and made his move first. And like Noora, Hugo has started bantering with Viri, this banter is clearly working for both of them, but Hugo has made his move behind Dilan’s back. So Hugo is essentially breaking bro code, and Viri is coming between two good friends. She clearly likes Hugo, or at least likes the banter, whereas she doesn’t have the same feelings for Dilan. 

I love the idea of a Vilde (of Viri!) getting character development by finding herself in William’s place in a love triangle, BUT. I hate what this means for Dilan.

I’m going to try and explain what this potential love triangle means for every character in it:

HUGO: Hugo is most likely Viri’s endgame. Not just because he’s probably Magnus, but because as a result of his involvement in this love triangle, Hugo has finally gotten a birth date, a last name and his own instagram account. Hugo’s actor Álvaro Cobas’s interest in freestyling has also been incorporated into the character. So Hugo is now the third character whose actor’s interest in music has been made part of his character, after Tomy Aguilera’s Jorge and Nicole Wallace’s Nora. 

Much like every other Magnus before him, Hugo has to deal with Viri being more interested in guys like Alejandro than guys like him. Viri sees him as the typical boy whose interests are gaming, football and now rapping. It’s up to Hugo to prove himself to be more than that, or at least to turn Viri on so hard she no longer cares Hugo isn’t an Alejandro. 

Hugo gets an endgame, a larger role and character struggles out of this love triangle.  

VIRI: I feel like most Vildes are highkey interested in sex and talk about it constantly, while Viri had remained something of an outlier in this aspect. It’s not just that she didn’t get to finish the job with Alejandro. Before she had to come clean about what had really happened, Viri described the event vaguely. While Viri has been romantically interested in Alejandro all this time, she hasn’t talked about sex (with him or another dude) as much or really at all. The last time before this episode that Viri showed an interest in the physical side of romance, was when she asked Cris if girls are better at sex. So, out of the gate, what Viri gets out of this love triangle is a new angle as a character. Viri can have sexual tension with characters! 

But also, having Viri be the William of her own love triangle is galaxy-brained. However Viri handles this love triangle going forward will have repercussions for Hugo and Dilan’s friendship. Vilde never had that kind of power. She sort of settled for Magnus because he was cute, because he was nice to her and because the girls pretty much told her she needed dick, instead of being jealous of Chris and Kasper. In s1, Vilde wanted to be a romance heroine, but events led to Noora taking the place Vilde wanted for herself. Vilde never got to find out what it’s like to be the Noora and thus decide whether it really is nice to be in that position. However, Viri has the opportunity to know not what it’s like to be the Noora, but what it’s like to be the WILLIAM, the person who comes between two friends and prefers one over the other. Because she is a straight girl from an underprivileged family, the power dynamics between all three characters are different, but this love triangle should get Viri to think of herself and the people around her in a much different way.

DILAN: Okay, so for starters, we are halfway through s3 of Skam España and we don’t have a definite spelling for Dilan’s name. He’s Dilan in the episode credits and at least the latest chat about him, but he’s Dylan in the subtitles that Movistar+ offers on their platform (not the fanmade ones on youtube! The ones for Movistar+ subscribers). 

We know Dilan isn’t Viri’s endgame for the simple reason that his romantic interest in Viri didn’t result in an instagram account of his own. And, because Skam España only adds characters to the profile page when they get an instagram, that means we don’t know his birthdate or his last names either. 

And also, it is pretty fucking gross of Skam España to take the show’s only other regular character of color besides Amira, not give him any storylines until s3, and when he finally gets one, he’s second fiddle to a white character in a love triangle. in such a way that isn’t even really meant to develop his character (because we all know Hugo is the endgame), but rather to empower Viri, another white character. Will the writing develop Dilan beyond Lucas’ other funny friend? Will they even acknowledge that Dilan is a poc and where that leaves him not just societally, but also in terms of this specific love triangle? Or are they just... Going to throw in a few references to Ecuadorian food and act like they’ve done so much better by him than Skam did by Mahdi? (Not at all coincidentally, another character whose name still gets spelled as Madhi in some corners of fandom.)  

So yeah, bring in this love triangle, but dude, I really hope the writers have anticipated all these questions. Because between this hot mess and fandom being 100% ready to do away with a role that was conceived for an actor of Turkish descent (Yousef) in favor of the whitest white dude in the world (Dani)... It doesn’t look awesome for men of color in Skam España.

At midnight today, May 25, 2020, I recorded about an almost five minute long music video of me playing the Second Violin Part for the Filipino American Symphony Orchestra's @faso_ig Virtual Orchestra Music Video Recording Project of us performing the Lift Up Your Hands piece from Basil Valdez, composed by Cecile Azarcon and arranged by @louieramos22. This is a Filipino composed piece for Orchestra and Choir. They will merge my music video here together with the rest of the participating Orchestra Musicians and Singers into one finished product! Amazing how they can produce virtual performances that we can all do together from our homes. Here is a one minute sample of me playing my Second Violin Orchestra part. So honored to be a part of this project and look forward to seeing the finished result! 🏠🎻🎶📱🙌 #longbeach #home #Violin #Violinist #secondviolin #Musician #classicalmusician #music #musicvideo #liftupyourhands #basilvaldez #cecileazarcon #filipinomusic #PhilippineMusic #christianmusic #churchmusic #popmusic #filipinoamericansymphonyorchestra #FASO @faso_ig #virtualmusic #videomerge #coronavirus #covid19 #makemusic #raw_concert @raw_concert #abc7eyewitness #cbsla #ktla #nbcla #samsungs8plus (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnRDxhJdkK/?igshid=mpi0a1id6qq9

your skam reactions are good and you should feel good!!! i made a post earlier that touched on one thing you said which is that if eliott and lucas had been texting since friday it all would’ve felt more meaningful bc they would’ve been actually establishing a connection. instead it’s just a jumbled mess. and the fact that these changes probably won’t wind up changing the next things that happen is so irritating to me. there should absolutely be a ripple effect but so far there just isn’t.

just went and read it and high five, ia! it just doesn’t make sense that they *wouldn’t* text??? they already have such a great connection, why aren’t they teasing each other in texts in the meantime? i can understand if the thought of facing lucas again might make eliott nervous, but surely texting is ok? at least with that you’d still have this connection b/w them going strong and growing even more. but also, i feel like there was no point to eliott not showing up other than to serve as a plot device to push lucas into chloe’s arms again, and i’m really wary of how that’s gonna play out. it’s becoming this pattern where: eliott and him flirt —> lucas ignores chloe —> eliott takes a step back —> lucas goes back to chloe. it’s….unnecessary?? and makes eliott’s behavior seem odd and makes lucas look really, really bad.

maybe i’m jumping the gun and there’s a point to all of this and if i just wait patiently this will all make perfect sense from a storytelling perspective. who knows, maybe lucas will confront eliott about this and eliott’s explanation will somehow allude to his mental illness, which lucas will ofc not understand, but we’ll be all ‘ohhhhh i seeee’ later. buuuuut for now, it just feels like they just want more drama and more angst, and that’s it. 🤷

(just so there’s more context to this, i’m c/p my tags from a different post:  #isak and even also had this ‘one step forward one step back’ relationship at first #but it’s happening more frequently with lucas and eliott #in both cases there was that first friday spent together - only to find out even/eliott have gfs #and in both cases there was the almost kiss - only to be turned down the following day bc even/eliott have prior plans #but here’s where things are different #after turning him down once even then invited isak to go with him to the halloween party and made plans to pregame together #plans he didn’t cancel but followed through! (with a couple of changes that were out of his control like the gfs being invited as well) #and not only that but he also texted him THREE times during that week - two stupid memes and once about the change in their pregame plans #and these are texts that happened OFFSCEEN #meanwhile in skamfr we haven’t gotten any offscreen texts b/w them #AND their relationship took an additional step backwards when eliott stood him up #it just feels….idk too much? like it’s becoming a pattern? #and assuming the locker room scene happens in this version too #then it’ll just keep on happening #idk how i feel about this)
