31 Days Of Skam NL: Day 2

give milan an OSCAR

This has actually always been one of the aspects of the show that has most confused me. Noora and Eva (and later Isak) all have relationships with their families that almost feel too hands-off? Of course, this type of situation does exist but I do feel that with Noora, for example, in the US two parents who "don't love" their high school age daughter, still wouldn't leave her to sublet an apartment with random adults. William and Eva both seem to always have an empty apartment, which maybe feels a little more realistic but also convenient. I think until Sana's season, it was easier for the show to remove the focus from the parental relationships and make it more about pure teenage stuff. But it does sometimes take me out of the show a bit because Noora specifically is living SUCH an adult style life that it makes me forget that she's 16? 17?

Homework for Week #5

How are you feeling about SKAM's representation of family life so far? Do the familial relationships you've seen or you've heard reference to feel realistic or no?

31 days of Skam NL: Day 1

Favorite Female Character: Liv Reijners 

Liv is strong, kind, smart and just an incredible version of Noora. I am always so inspired by her to be more confident and outspoken and to wear clothes that might not be what everyone else is wearing, but what I love. I love that she redefined what I thought being Noora meant and made me adore the character even more. She is one of my favorite characters in the entire skam universe. Liv is a character that has stuck with me and I love that she is so spunky and fierce. I am incredibly excited to see the rest of her season, and in (hopefully) future seasons. 

not noa retweeting a maga’s tweet with a proven fake story about joe biden.....

I think there is a more conscious reasoning behind the absence of parents in Isak's life, specifically in drawing the parallel between his mother and Even (his mother having mental health issues is also established in season one.) I was a little confused by his relationship with his father, and think that it still feels in some way that the lack of parents is contrived so that he can live with Eskild. But compared to Eva and Noora, the show really makes an attempt to immerse us in the way that Isak sees his parents, which is distant from him. They definitely play a larger role thematically even if they are present less than Eva's mom for example. Not Isak's parents, but I think the scene in episode 9 with Magnus talking about his mom is really great.

Homework for Week # 8

How does SKAM's treatment of Isak's parents differ from its treatments of Eva and Noora's parents?

does anyone know the name of the songs from the new clip??

wait is the main that girl who posted the photo with lola last season?!??

day 3: favorite male character → noah boom

to put it simply, he makes my heart go “boom.” i am always a sucker for william, but noah is next level. he is, by far, my favorite william remake and just all around one of my favorite characters in the entire slam universe. he is smart, talented and yes, he can be a dick, but i can truly see that he is a loving and caring person. he is honestly someone i could see myself falling in love with. he is flawed, but poignant and relevant. which, to me, makes the best kind of character.

ok after that disaster i need some positivity, please comment your best theories on how they can get out of this mess
