so I agree that he could’ve been better developed as a character. I would have loved for more character development but cmon I idk I feel like you could ask what what any couple talks about? What did Jonas and Eva have in common? I don’t think we need to see them both liking tennis or something to find commonality. They both had shitty parents and shitty childhoods that caused them grow hard shells and always fight for their (possibly shitty) opinions. (1/3)

on screen you saw them notice how the other one talked about their parents. They fell in love when they weren’t like that to each other when they were sweet and soft like when he worried about making hot chocolate for her or they were soft and playful when they shared a bed in 2x 3 or when they woke up in 2x 5. And also every relationship grows. They all start out being attracted to the other person and being attracted to who they are, (2/3)

but they grow more solid as they learn more and more about eachother. We basically saw them onscreen as they got together but not that part, so it’s realistic to believe their relationship changed in the months we didn’t see. Basically, I just think while there are definite issues with their storyline thats not one I see being their biggest issue. They probably talk about life: their friends, their career aspirations, their studies, books, movies… (3/3)

I can see what you’re saying. It’s definitely true that attraction is the start that then gets built upon. I just don’t think they showed us much detail with them? Skam is always very economical so it can be the matter of a couple scenes. Jonas and Eva aren’t really a good point of comparison since they’re an established relationship (though I’d say we get a lot more everyday from them: their Netflix and nachos and school talk and going to movies with Isak and hanging with his sister, more specifics), Isak and Even work better as the pair who just met. With them, I really think you get much more onscreen to extrapolate from. Even before they meet, you get Isak watching the video of Even talking about something he loves furthering his spark of attraction and watching Romeo + Juliet to understand him better and then obviously their conversations while smoking together cover both superficial interests (their taste in music, Even likes to draw, Isak’s “skill” at beatboxing) and deeper ones (the philosophy of parallel universes which Isak likes but Even is scared of, Isak’s love of science) and fills in Isak’s backstory. idk, maybe for N**rhelm fans, things jump out them that didn’t make any impression on me. But when I compare the two, I have a lot of ideas about what Isak and Even talk about from canon while with N**rhelm, I have to more generically imagine it up. 

I think you do have a fair point, it’s hard set aside your bias and not to be more critical of things you already don’t like. And I was long set to dislike both William and their relationship since what really set me off was pretty early, when he dismissed that he was manipulating her into a date in the first place and denied he had even wronged Vilde, so every scene after that became “what are we supposed to see in this guy??” for me. So yeah, I probably do hold them in a much more critical lens on every front. And if I liked them, their sweet scenes could have hit home for me even if I still don’t think they were as specific and character building as they could have been. 

I do think that not knowing much about William’s interests is a relatively minor sin. It doesn’t make him a particularly interesting character to me but I think the most important thing was his actions, his arc as a character and within his relationship to Noora. Which is what was a disaster for me, lol.

okay i got 2 whole likes here we go

this is specifically about ranboo's new skin

why does the ghost part just look like a tarp draped over ranboo's normal skin and why is this so unbelievably suspicious to me only ghostbur looked and sounded like an actual ghost but ranboo just looks like a kid on halloween that forgot to make any costume so they just threw a sheet over their head and went with it the blood looks like it potentially could be real though with the dripping and stuff but if he is actually dead then i present to you the much more exciting option: demon ranboo we know vaguely how actual ghosts work and ranboo is currently. nothing like them in some ways hes like the opposite both ghostbur and glatt had the thing in common of they are only a shell of who they used to be. ghostbur was the more sweet side of wilbur and couldnt remember the bad things in his old life, and even though glatt wasnt a huge character with a lot of onscreen time, it is heavily theorized that he only remembers the bad things in his life (and also parallel to ghostbur, only really kept the not so great parts of himself, ex the addictions n treating quackity like shit etc but ranboo is like. almost completed via dying before he died he was having these problems of memory loss, indecisiveness, anxiety, but now that hes dead all of this has. gone away he can remember his past. he doesnt care about sides. in his own words his stress just poof gone what im trying to get at is that ghosts and whatever ranboo has become are both so fundamentally different from eachother that they're almost parallels????????? from what i can tell about ghosts is that you lose a part of yourself. you only are able to keep a small portion of who you were when you were alive but ranboo practically gained the parts of himself he hadnt had before ranboo's anatomy is so different and up in the air that i have no clue if he even has the same system as the others hes a similar deal to slime like. what the fuck happened to either of them lmaooo the only reason im not saying its possible that ghosts could be the opposite of who you were when you died is because schlatt was a fairly shitty person when he was alive. wilbur had a sweet side to him. the only reason that would even work would be FOR ranboo because he practically is the opposite of himself hes happy, hes sarcastic, he can remember everything in his life, hes not stressed anymore, hes just overall laidback WHICH IS WHY i have the theory of ranboo being somewhat reborn as a demon and not a ghost like actually think about it. it would have soooo much more potential than him just being a ghost even though we have no proof persay that the hybrid dna he has (which we dont even know what one of the halves IS) just. makes ghosts differently it would be SO much more exciting if he was a demon also people already have headcanons of him having horns right?? like so many people already draw him with horns its practically canon he has them in fact he couldve had the unidentified side be some kind of a demon the whole time but thats kinda stretching i suppose anyway i mainly have this headcanon because it would explain both why he looks like he has real blood dripping out of his stomach and also why it looks like hes faking being a ghost with the whole sheet thing

hello who would like demon cranboo headcanons copypasted from discord
