Tbh it was a missed opportunity that heartstopper didn’t get the actors who played Lucas and Elliot in skam france to do a cameo when they went to Paris

watched everything everywhere all at once today (finally) and the sandman 1x05 and WOW both were so good

THE crisana song

[sramz]

I definitely got eva vibes from eva. though I like how they didn't go way overdramatic with her being lonely in the first clip like some of the remakes do. I think the subtlety is what makes it relatable. instead of pushing it down our throats how lonely she is skam should show us through the negative space. her lack of people to spend time with. her lack of friends. her reliance on jonas when he's not there. her paranoid about where he's been when he's not there.

only time will tell if the sram will be able to capture all that but I'm hoping!!!

I also loved how when jakov and eva were on one side of the bench it felt lively and then when he sat up and left suddenly she was framed in the middle of the bench with nobody but the background of her peers to her side. that was a really cinematic detail to end the clip.

Croatian skam putting a lesbian couple cuddling in the background while eva is trying to ask nora to hang out with her is... a choice.

A little analysis of Walter (young royal)

( Tumblr is literally my only safe space to share my Walty opinions)

So- y’all remember that scene in season two where they were at lunch ? And Walter starts like explaining how you need a back up girl and how girls like competition and stuff and everyone looks at him funny and they like spend actually a lot time (for background characters) on that scene and Henry even tabbed his chest literally internally begging him to stop? Yes? So

For people who watched skam(France)- it’s so similar to that scene where Lucas starts talking about girls to overplay the fact he has absolutely no attraction to those and his friends literally look like him like he lost his mind because no one actually talks about girls that way??

( I know they probably put that in for completely Wilmon centred reasons but the parallel is actually funny)

Next up:  The Time of our LIves, written by Ana (@zoennes), with art from Pau_wo. Drawing inspiration from film and bringing to the page with Zoe and Senne, we can't wait!

Ana what was you inspiration for this fic: A simple insta story showing the actors re-enacting the famous lift from the movie as (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life played in the background was enough inspiration to have me imagining a canon divergent story where fate brings their characters together to do the same. I for sure am having a great time writing them dance to that song while they rehearse to perform it in a dance competition.

Pau_wo what inspired your art: Dance and Zoenne, the greatest combo. Being a fan of dirty dancing, I could not pass on the possibility of creating art for this story. 

The SKAM Big Bang starts June 21st! Follow us for more sneak peeks and share!

ROBBE IJZERMANS, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST! 

Available on Ao3 - Summary: “The strobe flashes oscillate between red, blue and purple. The psychedelic effect slows Sander's movements making them more fluid and sensual. Intermittent, brief and colorful lights make his silhouette ethereal, incorporeal, almost magical. He sways his hips and gyrates, following the relentless, hypnotic rhythm of Argy & Omnya, the pounding bass lines and the Gregorian chanting in the background. Sander looks like a fallen angel with the devil in his body.”

Today's the day when everyone is required to add their thoughts on The Eighth Sense ep. 6, yes? Here are mine, and I'll throw them under a readmore because there are spoilers.

It would be nice to be the kind of person who carefully screencaps and illustrates their posts, but alas and alack, there's only text.

I've seen a lot of theorising on most/all of ep. 6 being a dream or a hallucination, and while the cinematographic choices certainly point in the direction of the trip not being entirely real (the bright and slightly fuzzy filters, the sudden jumps, bringing nothing -> suddenly having all the camping gear you could wish for, the dreamy (hotel?) bed room, the shift from both of the guys sitting on the beach to Jae Won sitting alone in the exact same position), I think it might be an unreliable narrator twisting the "real" events of the episode. Not a dream, I think, but not quite a hallucination either.

I raised an eyebrow at the rest stop shop guy (side note: who is he. I want to see more of him in other shows/films) giving Ji Hyun the memory stick, and both eyebrows at him giving Jae Won the fireworks, because it made no sense at all.

But it does make sense if a narrator is edging into an idealised version of his story, where everything is bright and inviting.

From the rest stop on, I (and everyone else...) found the episode very unsettling, and the sudden camping gear really threw me - spare boots, really? When a few hours ago nothing was ready and you'd buy any thing you needed? At the entirely too bright and perfect morning on the beach I was practically squirming. It was so off compared to the cinematography up to the trip starting.

The unreliable narrator is most likely Jae Won. He's teetering on the brink of something, with his therapy and his meds and his father and the broken camera coming to a bit of a crescendo, and while he might not be all out hallucinating, he may be glossing over some things and blowing other things vastly out of proportion. We haven't been shown any hints about Ji Hyun being this unreliable.

So what sort of reality will we get in episode 7? I'm not even going to try and guess, it could go any way from a SKAM type mental crash and return to near normal and happy ending to all out horrible heartbreak and loss.

SKAM (I wonder which version(s)) was apparently used as an inspiration/preparation, according to a live they did, and SKAM's happy solutions for the mains was not necessarily the couple lives happily ever after (Eva breaking up with Jonas because that was the best for her at that point).

However, I note that the domestic trailer is far more upbeat than the international one, it seems from that like it's supposed to be feelgood overall. So maybe an open or happy ending? Yes please?

I also wonder why the tone in the domestic and international trailers are quite different. Could be something about what tends to lure the domestic audience in vs. what gets the international attention, and I don't know enough about the Korean audience to guess whether they enjoy getting a cheerful trailer and then a horrible heartbreak episode.

As for SKAM, back in the remake bonanza days there was indeed talk of making a Korean SKAM. It never came to be, and I absolutely don't want to call The Eighth Sense a Korean SKAM, but a beautiful Korean show that deals with sexuality and mental health? Yes fucking please. Also the reminder that SKAM lurks in the background here gives me a hope to cling to for a reasonably not-unhappy ending. It was utterly horrible watching Even's manic episode and Isak's panic at Even's text in O Helga Natt, but it turned out well.

Life is now, and don't trust your five senses too much?

I don't usually tag my poor mutuals in rambly posts, but perhaps @mynameisnotthepoint and/or @lurkingshan may be interested?

Tag game: List 10 of your comfort shows, then tag 10 people

I was tagged by @twig-tea thanks for the tag. Like you I'm having trouble narrowing it down so I cheated a little and some of this are grouped together.

Group One is the Detective group, I used to love detective stories, which means I watched a lot of cop shows, there are some that I can't watch anymore because of the new awarness of the copaganda but these are the ones that I still find comfort in: Cold Case, Elementary, Murder She Wrote, Columbo and Ris Roma (italian version of a CSI like show, this is the first and only spin-off which I like more)

Skam OG S3 and Eyewitness and Skam Italia s2. These I am not reaching for as much since I have BLs now. But they are still comfort shows. Skam Italian s2 in particular I reach when I want to feel better about the borderline semi-fascist hellstate I'm living in, since it's the best gay rep we italians got.

Animated Group: Animaniacs and Tiny Toons along with Looney Toons cartoons I use as background noise kind of shows. And along with the anime Kodomo No Omocha (Rossana in Italian) they remind me the most of childhood. Side note sometimes I listen to intro of Rossana anime and feel like a kid again, cartoon intro used to be a pretty big deal in Italian dub cartoons 80% of which were sanged by a single woman.

Old Sitcom Group: The Golden Girls, Boy Meets the World, Full House and The Nanny

Leverage (not the new seasons, I don't really like them, just the old ones)

Community

Living Single

Superstore

The BL Group (the most recent and the one that I am now leaning to most of all): Until We Meet Again, Be Loved In House I Do, History 2 Right or Wrong, Semantic Error and My School President are the ones that bring me the most comfort.

This is mega cheating because they are not really show as in tv series. But they always bring me the most consistent comfort: Assorted Musicals and Theather Live Recordings. In particular = The Sound of Music, West Side Story 2021, Moulin Rouge, Les Misarable 25th concert, Into the Woods (the 90s recording), Much Ado About Nothing (the 2011 recording with David Tennant), Cats and an italian one Notre Dame De Paris an Italian-French Musical based on the Victor Hugo book not realted to the Disney version at all)

Bonus: the ones that are no longer comfort shows because I can never watch them again: CSI (all of them but I used to love NY), Law and Order, and Veronica Mars (which I haven't been able to watch since I saw s4)

And the ones that didn't make the list: My favorite Power Rangers series (they range from Lost Galaxy to RPM)

Tagging: @thehollowprince @heretherebedork @callipigio @benkaaoi @slayerkitty @respectthepetty

It's not 10 but I am bad with names so these are I could think of. No pressure to them of course.

every time I see a black background with a yellow font my brain goes "SKAM??" I fear I may be scarred forever

9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

I was tagged by again the lovely vish @puppy-phum and wonderful rae @yakdee. Thank you so much <3

3 Ships You Like: I know ppl has stopped talking about them because the actors had a fall out *cough* but my ult ship probably would be ManType (hate me for it). Aoki and Ida. Tinn and Gun.

First Ship Ever: before I even know what shipping was, I remember that I liked Frankie and Matthew from 'The Sleepover Club'. I even read fanfictions about them. Idk if anyone even remembers this show lol

Last Song You Heard: Sabrina Carpenter - Taste I wanted to bring you through memory lane with a skam song BUT I made this post yesterday and didn't published it so new day new song

Favourite Childhood Book: Zahrah the Windseeker. If you ever come across this book READ IT, I beg you. It's wonderful and I still can remember how I got soaked into the book and could visualize all the things on how the book is written.

Currently Reading: Ellbogen by Fatma Aydemir IF only some of y'all would understand German and read her novel... her previous novel I read is also very relatable but this one... a young girl with migration background tells about her story about how her parens came to Germany, how she tries to find herself and her 'home' between the cultures. I'm still not far in the book but it's CHEF'S KISS. I can't wait to see it visualised on stage

Currently watching: Due to my busy schedule (and being currently on vacation) I can't/don't find the time to watch more dramas (which surprises me though) - 4 Minutes, Cosmetic Playlover, Good Partner, Love Next Door, SunsetxVibes (asked myself three episodes ago why it's still on my watching list), Terror Tuesday: Extreme, The Loyal Pin. I really want to start with First Note of Love, The Frog and The On1y One. There's another kdrama coming out 'The Devil Judge' can't wait for it

Currently consuming: dk the sun lol. Since I balance my working time (uni stuff), help and spend time with my grandparents and watch my dramas it's really balanced out and I'm less stressed. In fact I'm spending a lot of time at the beach and watch the sunset. It's truly a different feeling and different air you breathe a more relaxed one

Currently craving: ramen. yeah there's a specific type here in Türkiye which Germany doesn't have and I bought it two weeks ago but never could find the time to eat it

#25 Summation, reflections and plans for 2024

Now that the calendar is over I want to wrap things up with some thoughts and facts about of what have been and what is coming.

The calendar

In this calendar I've written about 24 series that have meant something to me through my life. There are other series I might actually like more than some of them today, but they've all changed how I see things or how I feel about a certain subject. I started of with M*A*S*H, which will always be my all time favourite and which came into my life early. I ended with Julie and the Phantoms, which just recently came into my life and about which I still have a lot to learn. Some posts almost wrote themselves, while others needed some rewatches and reminiscing.

Here are all the posts:

#1 M*A*SH

#2 The Big Bang Theory

#3 Gilmore Girls

#4 Sex and the city

#5 Oc

#6 How I met your mother

#7 New Girl

#8 Please like me

#9 Modern family

#10 Glee

#11 Gossip Girl (2007)

#12 Miss Fisher's murder mysteries

#17 Young Royals

#18 Emily in Paris

#19 Find me in Paris

#20 Sex Education

#21 Ginny and Georgia

The list for 2024

I stream A LOT of media, and mostly series, some weeks up to 40 hours. This because I usually have something on in the background, it makes me focus even better. I work from home about half the time and the TV is always on, on these days. But it's normaly rewatches and comfort series and I have a hard time starting new ones. So, to help with this, my goal for 2024 is to complete a list of series I want to watch, but haven't dealt with yet. I might not complete them all if I don't like them, but the goal is to start them all.

The unlisted

The irregulars

Raising Dion

Cloak and Dagger

Everything sucks

Heartbreak high

Elite

Derry Girls

[rodolfoparras]

Trevors shirt covers him up like just enough so they don't have to constantly like censor his dick😭 the ghosts are pretty used to it by now and don't care, as long as he doesn't raise his arms which causes the shirt go lift up😭😭

Xnsnznns💀 the way I knew you'd like Thor, big dumb hairy man that is smelly🙄 I'm not big into piss or sweat personally (I'm sensitive lil baby and will possibly vomit at certain smells😭) but I will admit that man is so fine😋

I can't say for certain, I've only just finished season one of the show but Thor has spoken a norse language in one episode I believe? I couldn't really say anything more specific than that😭💔

!!! Isaac is gay🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 him and the British solider are the biggest homos ever🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Isaac was closeted but like... It was made of glass... The doors were wide open... Bro was only fooling himself and Hetty somehow😭 bro was sharing a room with Hetty and he goes up to the other ghosts like "oh I bet you're all wondering if yk me and Hetty😏" and they just stare at him😭😭😭 like they definitely did not think you were hooking up with a woman Isaac you can't stop being horny for MEN🔥

I really have no idea why the did different versions, I guess to maybe update it a little or make it more relatable in the US??? Really can't say, just happy that it exists because these characters are yummy😋😋😋

Also I'm making a silly oc for Ghosts!!! He's a goofy little jester, died like right after a carnival nearby the woodstone manor, as he was dying stumbled off onto the property and became a ghost with the others😼 he died with a bunch of shit in his sleeves from all his tricks and he's actually able to share his stuff with the other Ghosts as like a "ghost power"

Sasappis is so heartbroken that oc did not die with pizza somehow shoved up his sleeve😔💔 truly tragic. oc is like the type to observe everything, everyone could be fighting and he's just sitting in the background like :0 while munching on a snack from his sleeve😭

-🌱

Well at least that’s something!!!😭 but also I can’t help but imagine how funny he must look only wearing something on his upper half 😭

He looks absolutely delicious!!! I’ll happily piss on him upon request it could be for healing purposes or just for the fun of it I really don’t mind ☺️

I’ll def have to check it out then partially to hear him speak and partially to ogle at him 🏃🏻‍♂️

Isaac sounds like the silliest ghost to exist I absolutely adore it😭 also i love the comedic elements of this show like I’ve genuinely not heard of anything similar 😭

Well that does make sense!! I rmr skam making different versions in different countries and they’d adapt it so it would be suitable in a French society or wherever else it got released

Also not the poor jester dying with a bunch of stuff in his sleeve 😭 I’m imagining him constantly pulling stuff out of it especially at inappropriate times and the rest are just like not now 😭

Tbh I can understand sasappis poor ghost just wanted a delicious meal after being dead for so long 😔 also i absolutely love that!!! Does he have a hat with little bells on? Bc if so im imagining him watching a scene head whipping side to side and you hear the little bell sounds every time 😭
