no, i’m sorry but justifying your creative team’s bad decision making by saying your young actors agreed to it and so it’s okay is such a bad playbook move out of the skamverse. and yet we see it come up again and again.
we saw the same move with race and religion in the sana seasons and in seasons with a poc main in which any criticism was swatted away with “oh the actor would never agree to star in this story if they thought the depiction was damaging, etc.” or “xyz actress is muslim so this storyline is okay.”
when in reality, these are young actors just starting out their careers. who holds the power here? certainly not ayumi or flavie or even low ranking members of the crew who may also be of that minority representation. no one wants to get the reputation of being difficult especially in the film/tv industry. have we not heard these stories during #MeToo of how being outspoken has damaged one’s career?
so then for shirley to try that same move here is gross and demeaning. like girl, be unlike your avatar tiff and actually own up to your mistakes.

Feeling kinda bad for the mailin actress like imagine seeing all the negative reaction at the possibility of your character being the main 🥴
I will absolutely guarantee her season will have more views than fatou and isi’s so she’ll be fine, it’s nothing against her specifically but the choice of main deserves criticism

people calling this ooc for maya clearly don’t remember mercredi 12h56 and the iconic greta thunberg line from lola 😐 she’s clearly upset and unable to process her emotions and therefore lashing out in a way that’s self destructive aka doing what 99.9 % of skamverse mains have done 🧍🏾

just gonna leave the following facts here:
the queer party event today is called “holy rainbow night” a pun for the christmas song “oh holy night” which we know is “oh helga natt” in norwegian
since the trailer dropped, people have been making comparisons between matteo and isi, not necessarily as mains but more as how similar their trailers were (flashing matteo/ismail in yellow and black, quotes/phrases on screen, trailer literally being clips of characters from previous season talking about matteo/ismail)
the gig starts at nine which gives them the opportunity to do an ohn paralell/21:21.
this is season seven episode nine and ohn happened in season three episode nine

i’ve been rewatching this season over the past few days and controversial opinion, it’s actually decent. crazy, i know, just bear with me. the main issue with this season isn’t the material itself, it’s how the material has been presented/developed.
examples:
love triangle to help isi understand the difference between platonic admiration and romantic infatuation? brilliant. making it last five weeks with little to nothing else in the background? unbearable
sascha being neglected by isi to highlight their tendency to be a bad friend and connecting this to a toxic friendship where isi is the victim? big brain. only focusing on it properly seven weeks in? painful
presenting a non-binary main who feels like they have to fit into multiple different boxes to please people around them? never done before in the skamverse. not taking time to continually develop this (even if only in the background) so it would make more sense later on in the season? no words.
ava apology? fucking finally. making it a single sub four minute clip? rage inducing, ava bby u deserve sm better
isi finally apologising to sascha for all they’ve done to him, recognising that they need to change and making a conscious effort to do so? brilliant self awareness. doing this but neglecting to properly focus on the beautiful black girl who’s gone through the same thing and been hurting for over a year? will piss me off forever
bringing back an old gen non cishet character to help a new gen non cishet character? probably the sexiest idea they had in that writer’s room. not following through with the queer party clip and not coming back to it since episode 6? when they catch these hands-
highlighting the struggle of umut understanding the changing identity of isi especially when he’s constantly in a toxic masculine environment (football)? so so smart. solving it in one conversation after a sudden character development from isi? frustrating.
childhood friends to lovers? bro sign me up. developing it properly at a time where sascha is barely on screen? no one hmu im mourning
my point here is, the writers genuinely had the right idea when developing this season and if you rewatch the season from beginning to now, especially episode seven, you can see it.
these writers have clearly never written for skam before and we’re so used to the format but it’s actually very different to all other forms of tv writing because content has to come out constantly and you have to think of social media and how these characters’ relationships change all the time and in REAL TIME.
i just dont think they realise how short ten weeks is: in under three months you have to constantly present and develop stories for the main to make the season well rounded and hope the audience feel like they’ve learnt something. but also how long ten weeks is: focusing on one thing (eg the love triangle) is fine, but you have to have something(s) going on in the background too that are being equally developed so your audience doesn’t get bored/tired of constantly seeing specific characters.

Oh, so we're having a whole conversation about whether or not Ismail is a good person and we're not mentioning Ava once?
Got it.
