It's been two months and I still have only one question. Why the perpetual need to undermine the original skam ? I had the pleasure to listen to Rocco and Federico today, and one thing struck me, how much they look up to Skam, esp s3 the work Henrik and Tarjei did before. They were so lovely in their comments. Not one mean word. So I don't understand why their fandom wouldn't act the same. It doesn't validate the remake more, on the contrary.
I’m guessing this is about this post, right? listen, honestly I see nothing wrong in liking a remake more than the original, as long as you’re respectful you can like what you want and how you want to. apart from this particular post (that tbh I don’t even see as mean, it was said in the euphoria of the moment and maybe I could have put it better but the feeling remains and it wasn’t a drag to the og) I have never said something mean about the og and if you looked at my blog you’d know it. first of all because I’m aware that without it we wouldn’t even have a remake in the first place, right? second, because I truly love the og with my whole heart. Isak and Even were the ones that made me discover skam and I’ll forever be grateful to them because they gave me so much! at the same time though, this remake is giving me life in a completely different way. I was the first one to be skeptical about the whole concept of the remakes and especially the italian one, because it would have turned out to be either complete shit or a masterpiece. honestly? I’ve been positively surprised ever since s1 and I think they’re outdoing themselves in this second season. in addition, as Fede said yesterday at the convention, ITALY NEEDS SKAM RIGHT NOW. we are living a disastrous time in terms of politics and homophobia is still a huge problem here! just like Filippo said! I am even a bit sad that it is “just” a web series because I personally think it should be broadcasted on the national tv! people who watch it, as far as I’m concerned, are already a lot very informed about such topics like homophobia and mental illnesses (just to mention this season), and this is why it would be great to have it on tv, because people “need to wake up” and this season is a big fuck you and a slap in the face to a good portion of our population right now! it is literally making history in our country, having the first coming out by a teenager to his best friend and quite honestly being maybe the first italian series ever to have a gay character as the main protagonist. THIS is why, personally, I feel more attached to this remake in some extent. because I feel it much closer to my life. again, I loved and love the og with my whole heart but I never truly managed to put myself in the characters’ shoes. I loved them from afar, you know what I mean? skam italia gave me the possibility to feel everything on my own skin. I have goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach almost every time, really, and this is impossible for me to ignore. so, to wrap up this whole discourse, I am sorry if you see mean comments about the og because again, you’re free to like what you want just as long as you’re respectful. but at the same time I suggest you try to look more underneath such comments, especially if they’re not mean.

Amen to your last post! It's beyond me how skamit fandom is screaming for everyone to respect their show, because it is its own thing (when not really, but okay). And yet, they're the first one to disrespect the original story by comparing the two. Even worse, by highlighting that Isak/Even connection was not as good as the new one. When the italian ship only had like one scene together right ? So it makes me nicely laugh. Nothing will ever match Isak & Even. No matter the amount of copies.
It's like a competition they so need to win. In my mind, that's how it plays. I'm not watching skamit, but you should be able to appreciate this one and the original, while respecting both story. Remakes would not even exist if that wasn't for Isak, Even, Eva, Jonas, Noora, etc.
Hiii! :)
It’s also so frustrating that people complain about not being ‘allowed’ to watch or the like the remakes, when they are the first ones to turn it all into a comparison competition. Skam might not the most aesthetic pleasing or whatever, which i don’t agree with but it’s okay if people think so, but that was never what Skam was about. Skam was raw and real. It’s was relatable because just how real it was and how the characters weren’t perfect or dolled up. Also, Skam wasn’t perfect in anyways and hey, if people want me to list things that annoys me about it then hit me up.
And honestly right now it feels like the people who are making the comparisons haven’t really watched Skam or S3 of Skam, or maybe they don’t remember it because you have to take in the characters and their developments when making claims like that. Isak was a character full of joy in S1 and then it slowly faded in S2, and in S3 he was grumpy and annoyed af, but he was also anxious and closed off, and he was sleep deprived and so much in the closet.
Also, saying that isak & Even’s connection wasn’t as real or as intense is just looking at the scenes without actually remembering how isak and Even’s story was. IMO, you can parallel the scenes because hey it’s the same storylines but comparing them means that you have to take note that Isak’s journey started in S3 and Martino’s in S2. And that means this:
When we got Isak’s POV we had this:
Isak already having living in a freaking basement
Isak running away from home.
Isak living in the kollektiv.
Isak getting religious texts from his mom
Isak being so deep in the closet (like there’s literally a plot about his freaking locker/skåp) and how he struggled with it.
Isak googling how to be into kissing girls, because he didn’t want to accept himself.
Isak’s internalized homophobia.
etc.
And this was all shown to us before he met Even, and when he saw Even for the first time it was almost like Even was something that he wouldn’t let himself have or look at. So yes during their first meeting, when this mysterious stranger just took all the paper towels and started thinking about dicks, Isak put up a guard a bit. But that didn’t change the fact that both Isak and Even were enamored/mesmerized and intrigued with each other during their first meeting.
So much that Isak wanted to go to another kosegruppa meeting to see Even again, and when he found out about his last name he googled him right away (so if people want to make comparisons, i can go all day), and then during the clip in Even’s apartment it was pretty much Isak and Even becoming friends and starting to get to know each other better, and possible there being something more. Like talking about school and music, and things they like and Isak noticing Even’s drawing and ‘e-box make a beat’ and kardemomme sandwiches, like that’s how you build a story. That’s connection, if you want it.
And by saying all of this, it won’t make Martino’s journey any less important or amazing. And i’m excited to see it because it’s going to be so different. Because Martino is in a total different stage of his life right now. He still got his crush on Gi...italian!Jonas and he’s still living at home, and he’s still carefree and open and so he dares to flirt with the boy that he likes. And that’s okay. Martino’s joruney is going to be different than Isak’s, and Martino and Nicco’s journey is going to have a different dynamic Isak & Even’s, but that’s the point of the remakes. Enjoy that because both journey’s and dynamics are important and amazing in their own ways. Stop downplaying Isak and Even’s.
(you didn’t ask for this long ass reply, i’m sorry. lol

Girl, that meeting in the bus between Isak & Even was a complete accident. It was so spontaneous, Isak asking for the beers and Even inviting him over. He had not planned anything there. And the min Sonja walked in, he straight forward said she was his gf. While, Ella's story is lies upon lies. She has been planning that date with Simon for A WHOLE WEEK, when he was still nothing more than a stranger for her. Oh sorry a stranger she sniffed the hoodie from, to make it worse really lol
2/3 her hairstyle, she even bought a dress for the occasion, to be pretty for him. And once the day came, she did not mention once her having a boyfriend, that trip to India, she is making it with “people”. She kissed him willingly, and 2 sec later was sending a good night text to Mats. As if those 3 cute hearts would make the guilt go away. She cheated. Not just on her boyfriend, but best friend and even Simen too. Lying to everyone, when really nothing is preventing her to speak her mind.
3/3 She is not trapped, contrary to Even. Not by Sonja, but by his own mind.
so your logic is that a person invites their crush to their place without having any intentions? how naive are you? even deliberately took the opportunity to say he forgot his id to get isak to his place. it’s true that that encounter wasn’t planned, but he did plan to get closer to isak, and he’d been planning it from the first day of school, as he admited in episode 10. he straightforwardly introduced sonja as his girlfriend because there was no other choice; she was there and that was true; him saying that doesn’t make him noble.
you cannot compare even and ella because ella is pov character and we never got even pov; we know she bought a dress and tried to get prettier for simen and her “not date”, but we have no idea what were even’s thoughts and actions off-screen during s3.
“even was trapped by his own mind” - if he was then everyone is, especially in today’s world. nothing and noone was forcing him to stay with sonja; he chose to stay with her because he needed a safety net. he should have left her instantly/sooner instead of constantly taking her for granted and disraspespecting her (he made out with her while looking at isak!)
ella never takes the initiative, she always does what people tell her to do. now when she finally does something on her own, she knows it’s wrong and is trying to overcompensate by giving attention to mats.
(as i said, i don’t have anything to say or excuse ella’s sniffing of simen’s hoodie, lol)
admit that your fave is ‘problematic’ and move on.

whenitisreal replied to your post: whenitisreal replied to your photo: ...
really ? all from oslo ? wow that just makes it even better. Thanks for adding that extra magic to our Xmas <3
Haha, yes, couldn’t risk having someone recognize it from someplace else, now could I? ;) For some reason the writing on some of the ginger bread hearts in the first gif is in Swedish though (Swedish is very similar to Norwegian so I guess whoever makes them just sell them in both countries). One of them says “God Jul” (”Merry Christmas”), one says “Du är så söt” (”You are so cute”) and one says “Jag älskar dig” (”I love you”).

i'm maybe full of sweet illusions, and that's only one of his favourite shirts. It could be an explanation. Have you noticed how many times Henrik wore that same shirt, every time at skam conventions ? He knows that's not the kind of events meant for Tarjei, and yet, it's like Henrik's way to still bring T with him. He's never too far. I feel their connection even when that's just H, and the way he speaks about their characters, Isak & Even. It comes from the heart. They're rooted in him. I CRY
hiiii! :) ..........wow. wow. this was an attack. i didn’t expect this.
“He knows that's not the kind of events meant for Tarjei, and yet, it's like Henrik's way to still bring T with him. He's never too far.“ hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaahhahaaha it’s the natural connection. But also how he talked about him and Tarjei tried to act with their eyes, and sometimes it worked and sometimes it was too much...but it was important to the isak and even story. Because...when you are in love, what’s the point of words when you don’t show it with the eyes????

don't ever apologize annika for being an incredibly good and inspiring human being. I saw those kinds of messages you were refering to, and it hurt my heart so much that there are people out there threatening the tiny bits that make our days a bit brighter, a bit better. For this, i'll fight even harder, to spread a bit more positivity around. This starts with sending you lots of love,and shielding you from harm because you are part of the ones who make me smile daily. Thank you ♥
ps: if that wasn't clear enough, that means kidnap you and lock you up in Isak & Even's love nest. Tiny place, 4 people, we'll make a cocoon out of it, they won't mind, don't worry ;)
Ahh Sabrina this made me smile so hard, thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥♥♥ You’re always such a bright beacon of positivity in this fandom, keep fighting the good fight and you’ll find me right there beside you. (Also yes to the kidnapping and everyone else who feels like joining is absolutely invited - there’s going to be beer fifa and plenty of cuddles coziness and loving to go around because deep down we’re all as soft as they are haha

Ma petite merveille, i hope you are doing okay. I'm just right there to give you a billion hugs and remind you how important you are. Seeing Even doing so well today, I had a thought for you, because I know how much he means to you. You've made me emotional too many times through his/your eyes. This will be you too one day, in a tiny lovely flat, with your spouse. (and a billion babies and kitties with squishy noses ah) You're a precious light to this world, and i love you
this brought tears to my eyes
i love you so much, from the bottom of my heart.
i love you i love you i love you i love you

whenitisreal replied to your photo: It wasn’t long ago I made one of these to mark 500...
of course they would, this set was lovely, might even be my favourite you created. (im a sucker for Xmas) Anyway just passing by to say how happy i am for you, even if you deserve even more <3
Aww thank you, you’re too sweet! <3 And I saw your tags for the gif-set, I’m glad the waffle one amused you - that one I probably my favourite from the set because it kinda ties in to something that was actually talked about on the show, haha. And bonus fact, all the extra “clips” are from footage of actual Oslo Christmas markets, to make it as “authentic” as possible. ;)
