I'm probably VERY drunk atp but ya know

If all the gay tv shows were actual real people and if they were all invited to a costume party and told to dress up like a hot dog, Heartstopper and omfd and idk skam and all would wear those cute puppy ear headbands and paint whiskers on their cheeks but dbda would show up in a legit hot dog costume with a legit yellow heart-shaped glasses (mustard) and weird red boots (jam??? ketchup??)

Idk I was telling some stranger about dbda and they asked how is it differenf from the other gay shows and I said this. Should I have mentioned that there was a literal cat king here???

hi levok! i don’t know if you’ve hopped on the Rykter train yet, but it’s a niche norwegian teen drama with a gay storyline. i’m sending you this ask bc i feel like you of anyone would appreciate that i am full-on OG SKAM-level sleuthing for spoilers in the reddit thread ahead of the season 3 release. all the combing the cast’s socials and zooming in to translate a pixely photo of the script - it’s low key giving me brain rot but it also feels very nostalgic to 2015 times on SKAM tumblr!! anyway, i hope you’re having an amazing day and i’ll be here patiently waiting for august 19th premiere 🫶🏻🌈

Hi anon!

Ok so i decided to not answer your ask, before I went searching for this. Bc I was not aware of the existence of this series 👀 and behold, it turns out it was in danish stream all along.

So I gave it a go. 10 minutes episodes are right up my attention span alley! So I binged it all haha 😂 and I get your jam!! NRK just know their shit. That ending though??? Out of nowhere?? What is this??? Also I am invested in the Thea storyline. Why you giving me this when there’s still a month until season 3?? Hahah (no bless you - you’re too kind).

I need all the lore you are talking about. So pls come back and spill the tea. What do we know about season 3???

My day has been booked and busy to say the least 🎀

What is your Skam Story?

Late one night in 21, searching for another RWRB fic to read, I stumbled on Evak. A google search and four hours later, I’m sobbing at my phone as Isak clutched Even to him while O Helga Natt played. That was the first of many long nights reading Evak fanfic because I couldn’t let them go. Almost three years later, I still can’t. I was a beta in 21, a first time writer in 22, a mod in 23. Isak’s story hit hard. Like him, I grew up with a parent who struggled with mental illness. Like him, I ran at the first chance. And like him, I’ve struggled with those decisions. It’s no coincidence, my fics center Isak’s journey and his relationship with his mom as much as Even. Angst is my jam, but I’m always looking for my own HEA when I’m writing about his.

Why are excited to participate in the Skam Big Bang?

I’m not exaggerating when I say SKAM changed my life. I’ve traveled to distant places and made lifelong friends. This online group of creatives became my tribe and I’d do anything to see this community continue and thrive. I had so much fun with graphics last year I’m back for more alongside a wonderful team working hard to make it happen again.

20 questions for 20 writers!

tagged by @buffintruder thank you!!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

89 ! that feels like a lot

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

355,274 which also feels like a lot!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

usually whatever I'm hyperfixating on at the time! right now it's mdzs/the untamed, but I've got some scum villain wips in the works

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Handsome Mystery Boy -- Skam soulmate AU

hot dilfs in your area (not clickbait!!1!) -- HLVRAI modern au

Strider Bros Feelings Jam -- Homestuck post-canon

Let's Get This Over With -- HLVRAI dream-sharing

The Secret Boyfriend -- TAZ Balance modern au

5. Do you respond to comments?

usually! it might take me a bit, but I usually try to respond, especially if it's a more recent fic. if it's an old fic or the comment is just, like, a string of heart emojis or something, I usually don't respond. doesn't mean the comment doesn't make me smile though!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

tbh I don't write a whole lot of angsty endings? even if it's an angsty fic, I try to end on at least a hopeful/bittersweet note, y'know? I guess the angstiest ending would be Frayed Seams because it's in the middle of the series and is giving context to the strained relationship between the Kageyama siblings. they do eventually begin to mend their relationship by the end of the series! just. not in this fic.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

this is once again rather hard because I mostly write happy endings! and I have a lot of short fics that are just. pure fluff. I guess if I'm looking for a fic that's long enough to Earn a happy ending, it would be a tie between Plant Their Hearts In Community Gardens or the sun in the summertime! I love how much Mob and Reigen's lives have improved by the end of the show <3

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not that comes to mind! I don't think I've ever gotten hate comments, so if people don't like my stuff they at least only complain about it somewhere I can't see it, which I appreciate

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

not really! I am usually a genfic writer lol though I have had wlwangxian robot sex on the brain lately for. reasons. and also I have a feeling some of my bingqiu fics are going to be like, scenes in the Middle of them having sex, because [gestures] bingqiu

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't done a whole lot of them, but I think the concept can be fun if executed properly! crossovers where the two casts meet don't generally appeal to me, but crossovers that function more like an au (characters from Series A in the universe of Series B) are more my speed. I have been pondering a svsss/hlvrai crossover....

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

god I hope not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yeah! I've had a couple fics translated into Russian, way long ago

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

not in a "we both were writing the fic in its entirety" way but I have written some aus and fics where I was bouncing ideas off friends so much that they might as well be a co-author. Let's Get This Over With would not exist without @neonlav's help

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

oh christ I have no idea. I'm a genfic person. bingqiu is doing something vile to my brain chemistry lately though

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

so many... so so many......... do not look in my google docs folder, there are too many untitled documents that have been abandoned........... I guess a more recent example would be a mdzs fic where wei wuxian is the juniors' camp counselor. I think the idea was v fun but I could not figure out where to take it. man I wish I was an artist so I didn't have to write plots for my silly little aus

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue! I love writing dialogue, especially when I feel like I really Get a character

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

fight scenes.... also pacing and figuring out how to end a fic, final lines are so hard

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I am not fluent enough in another language to pull off writing whole chunks of dialogue in another language! sometimes I'll use terminology from another language, especially if it doesn't translate well (like Japanese or Chinese honorifics and family terms) but otherwise I don't write in another language bc I would be too worried about it being incorrect

19. First fandom you wrote for?

it was, embarrassingly, for the since disgraced video game youtuber Cryaotic. in my defense, I was thirteen. the first fandom I posted fic for was for Hetalia, which is just as embarrassing. once again, my defense is that I was fourteen

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I am genuinely so goddamn proud of Let's Get This Over With. I had so much fun writing it, there are some concepts in it that I'm really proud of, and I just really enjoyed writing for hlvrai. those character voices were fun to play with

I'll tag @patron-saints, @scribefindegil, @localdisasterisk, @thatneoncrisis, and @notedchampagne!

Sot me shoqen e ngusht po mendoja sa njeri pa fat qe jam duke krahasuar jeten ton ne kto vitet e fundit: ajo e ka pasur universitetin me te thjesht ku ca profesor i dhuronin notat, kurse un i fitova te tera me djers; ne dashuri ajo cuditerisht gjeti njeriun e duhur shum thjesht kurse un ktu never been in a relationship crushing on someone I'm not talking anymore; ajo pati shum fat duke gjetur nje pun ne shtet ku pagueht shum mir edhe pse shkolla e saj sikur nuk kish shum te ardhme kurse un ne nje vend pune ku doja te ikja para se te filloja dhe ku paguhem sa gjysma e saj.

Ndoshta me ka mallkuar zoti se nuk besoj ne eksistencen e tij? Ose ndoshta fati ka ne plan gjera te medhaja per mua? Ose jam vertet njeri i pa aft por te tjeret akoma nuk e kan kuptuar?

Hello! 💛

I've had a lot of new faces pop up here since I became more active again so I figured I'd introduce myself.

I'm Taylor, 31 & I'm from and live in Scotland. I'm bigender (genderqueer/genderfluid/I'm still very new to this) & use she/her and he/him pronouns (no preference).

I'm a youth worker and a writer, I do bits of freelance journalism & editing. I'm currently editing my first novel Decompose which is a YA sci-fi dystopian story led by Harry, a bookish soft pansexual unlikely hero. If you want to beta read or find out more about it here.

I have chronic migraines/episodic cluster headaches so disabled representation is super important to me. Same goes for bisexual & genderqueer representation, reading fiction/fanfiction probably helped me work out a lot about myself 😅

I have written for Riverdale & Teen Wolf in the past but now I write primarily Red White & Royal Blue fanfic but I also accept requests for Heartstopper, Young Royals, Bridgerton, Skam & Schitt's Creek.

Also just pop in my Asks/messages if you ever need a book/fic rec, wanna collab, need some proofing or just need someone to vent to - community building is my jam 😎

Home of Ficlet Friday - DM me to be tagged in the next one, whatever your fandom!

Toodles 🫶🏻

skam españa really said “let’s throw back to valentina’s middle school days” with the song they used for the opening of the clip but it’s also so fitting bc the lyrics basically say “people point at me / they point their finger at me / whisper behind my back / and i don’t give a damn / why should i care / if i’m different from them” and i just can’t get over how well it fits amira and the theme of her season

[nicolinocolino]

we have not talked enough about federica with the bongos

[doremifamoon]

"I will survive" is the song Liv sang to Isa and Noah complimented by saying "Good song". Now Sander and Robbe wash their hands playing the same song. When I'm telling you they're related and that's definitely a song their family sing when they all get together at holidays or smth is because it's true.

Not My Brother (Eleonora and Martino)

I haven’t written fic in a long while, but since my favorite fic tropes were always Filling in the Gaps and Found Family, and since Manon and Lucas made me a full sucker for any and all possibilities for good Noora+Isak friendships... well, I couldn’t resist writing this silly thing after seeing how Eleonora went to Martino for help with Eva, and hardly had to use any words to get him to understand what she needed...

It starts on a peaceful Saturday, a rare occasion when Eleonora has the apartment to herself. Fili is out, an uncommon occurrence for a weekend morning. Ele is taking full advantage and positively wallowing in the solitude. The doorbell buzzer goes off while she is watering her little balcony garden. The roses are starting to bud, and the baskets of geraniums, lobelias, and alyssum that she’s planted look to be poised to thrive. In fact, she had been in the middle of dreamily imagining the riot of color that the balcony would become in the summertime when the buzzer sounded the first time. When she jumps in surprise, water from her little plastic can dribbles all over her slippers. She frowns. The buzzer goes off again as she sets the can down. "Who is it?" she snaps into the intercom. Silence, awkwardly long, and then, "Ah, it’s, ah, Martino."

Eh? "Why are you here?"

Another awkward pause. "Is Fili there?"

"No, he’s got a morning photography class this spring, they meet on Saturdays to do group assignments."

"Oh."

Ele stares at the intercom for a moment, and then, for whatever reason, presses the speaker button one more time. "Do you want to come up?"

"...sure."

And he does.

It’s weird, that day. Fili is due to be out for hours and Ele can’t figure out why she let Martino in. They hardly know each other, and really, only because of Eva. And the radio station, of course, but the hours they record their shows don’t really overlap, and Martino doesn’t really speak up in meetings. They’re friendly with each other, but not friends.

They sit on the couch for a while, in silence. Martino taps away on his phone. Eleonora reads a book. Sometimes she sneaks a peek at him through her eyelashes. He doesn’t pay attention, just keeps to himself, very quiet, very polite.

She offers him tea and he accepts, and for some reason he follows her into the kitchen. Eleonora doesn’t know what to make of him at all. He leans against a counter while she fills the kettle and prepares two cups for them. "Sugar?"

"Please."

Ele likes silence, but as they linger in the kitchen and drink their tea, it’s finally too weird for her to stand anymore. "Why did you come to see Fili?"

Martino’s eyes widen at the abrupt question, but he answers readily enough. "I wanted to visit with a friend."

She does recall that Martino and Fili had struck up an unlikely acquaintance over last autumn while she was gone. She hadn’t known it persisted. And why would he come see Fili when he had his own little gang of friends already? "But you couldn’t visit Gio?"

Martino looks uncomfortable. "He’s out. With a girl."

"But Elia? Or the little one - Luca?"

"They’re out, it’s a nice day, they went to the park."

"And you don’t like the park?"

"They went to try and pick up girls."

Oh. "I see."

Silence again, briefly, and then, "Nico is out of town with his parents."

It hits her, then, as he fidgets awkwardly with his half-empty tea cup. He’s lonely. He came looking for company. He’s not like her, someone who can enjoy being alone. From the little she knows of him from Eva, he’s been forced to be alone too many times in his life. Solitude has probably never been Martino’s friend, never a welcome gift for him as it is for Eleonora.

He doesn’t need to talk, clearly, based on their quiet interlude on the couch. He just wants to be around someone.

Ele looks at the clock on the kitchen wall. "Fili probably won’t be home for three more hours. He usually goes out to lunch with his classmates after they finish the assignment."

"Ah."

She watches Martino for a moment as he fidgets some more with his tea cup, and inwardly sighs, kissing her day of blessed solitude goodbye. "We can watch a movie?”

His smile when he looks at her is hopeful and a little sweet. "Sure."

It begins, there. That first spring Saturday. It’s not the last.

He doesn’t come every Saturday. And he doesn’t always sit with Eleonora, sometimes Fili is home and they get into spirited conversations. Sometimes he comes during the week and he brings Nico.

After a while Marti has his own triple-buzz pattern on the intercom and when she hears it, Ele just automatically buzzes him into the building and leaves the apartment door open a crack so he can let himself in while she bustles around the kitchen making tea and setting out cookies.

A while after that, Ele is setting the dinner table for four more often than for two or one, most nights of the week.

And a while after that, Ele finds Marti helping her do dishes, or organizing her bookshelves, or assisting her with laundry or dusting or watering the plants, any number of household chores, he’s has just sort of taken to helping her do whenever he’s there. They chat and laugh and and argue and tease each other over bedsheets and geraniums and dusting cloths. She makes tea. They watch tv. Or do homework. Or work on radio programs. Or they sit together and do nothing at all until Fili comes home or Nico comes over to find Marti - he doesn’t even text Marti first, Nico just knows that he’ll be at the Sava apartment, with whichever Sava sibling happens to be there.

Eleonora sometimes thinks it’s almost like Marti has become a Sava himself. Part of their family, a natural fit between her insular introversion and Fili’s rambunctious way of going on. He’s a balance between them, his presence often that of a peacemaker and mediator when Fili pushes Ele too far over some absurd issue.

She hadn’t understood how much she and Fili had really needed a third presence in their lives. They’d been on their own for a long, long time now, stoic and self-sufficient. Of course Eleonora loves her brother, but sometimes, she realizes, she needs her solitude not because she truly enjoys it all the time, but because she hasn’t had anyone around to buffer and balance out her relationship with Filippo, so sometimes she just needs a break. They were family, but they hadn’t had a family in a very long time.

With Marti, they’ve made up a sort of makeshift sibling unit. His presence is as valuable to Eleonora as hers and Fili’s are to him. They bicker, they tease, they laugh and, sometimes, there are tears - maybe Ele’s mother has let her down again, maybe someone has said something horrible to Marti and Nico in the streets. Once, they are there for Fili after a surprise late-night heartbreak.

By the night of Edoardo’s fundraiser party, it’s natural for Ele to approach Marti when she has a problem to be solved, when she needs help getting a drunken Eva away from two douchebags at the bar. Shock whooshes through her and turns her ice-cold as they turn on Marti. Relief and confusion flood her as Edoardo joins Gio and Elia to come to Marti’s defense.

"Why did you do that?" she asks, much, much later, one night when they’re half-asleep and talking in Edo’s bed.

"Those assholes were in the wrong. They had to go. Besides, why wouldn’t I help your brother?" he answers, perplexed.

She laughs. "Marti isn’t my brother. You know he isn’t. You met my brother, at Federica’s birthday party. Don’t you remember? Filippo is my brother."

He shrugs. "Cousin, then." When she laughs again and shakes her head, he sighs. "Surely you’re related somehow?"

"Not even a little."

"Well, you act like it," he says, a bit grumpily, right before he buries his face in the crook of her neck and falls asleep. 

“Okay, maybe a little,” Eleonora says into the air, and, content with this assessment, she follows Edo into sleep.
