hi! here are some of my fave mutuals who also happen to have really great blogs!!

One of the Things I just love about Skam, is the character developements. Each season one character seems to have an issue, or something they have to learn how to deal with. I think that Isak has had the most impressive character developement, but I want to mention all our main characters so far.  

In season 1, Eva learns how to take charge in her life, and be more independent. She starts out with low self asteem, lonely and without friends, clinging to her boyfriend Jonas. She also struggles with feelings of guilt, because she has stolen Jonas from one of her best friends, and jealosy because she feels she can`t trust him. In the end of her season, she seems to forgive herself, and she grows stronger. She tells Jonas that she has to find out who she wants to be, and she has to do this alone. 

In the beginning of season 1, Nora is a touch, cool girl, that seems to hide her insecurity. She is kind of a control freak, that has strong opinions and high morals, and she seems a bit judgemental both to herself and to others.

In season 2, Noora developes a lot. She falls in love with William, struggles with guilt and gets harassed by his brother Nico. She gets stronger from these experiences and learns to be less judgemental, and to take a leap of trust and let someone come near her. She learns to give people a chance before she judges them. After some time she understands that William is more than a bad boy, and that they can understand each other, if they talk to each other. And listen to each other. In season 3, Noora has left William, and seems to find herself in a new way.  

The one character that impresses me the most when it comes to character developement, is Isak. In season 1, he seems to be an insecure, but cocky little brat that tries to keep his buddy Jonas to himself. Of course, this is how he appears from Eva`s perspective, but there is probably a hint of truth in this. He is smart, and works hard at school. We also get to se that he can be a good friend and helpful in many ways, but he also tricks Eva, and basically breaks up two relationships.

In the end of season 1, we see that he struggles, because his father has left his mother, and his mother has had a breakdown, and because he`s ashamed of what he has done to his friends. He possibly also struggles to come to terms with his sexuality. He tells Eva that he has been in love with her (and most of us guessed that he more likely was in love With Jonas).

In season two, we hardly see Isak, except that he makes out with Sara in the background. We learn that he tries to take revenge on the Yakuzza boys because they hurt Jonas. Via hints we understand that he gets enough of his "crazy" mother, and runs from home. Noora and Eva suspects that he is gay. Eskild finds him one night, drunk at a gay bar, and takes care of him. Lets him stay in the basement of the Collective.

In the beginning of season 3, Isak has become a cocky charmer on the outside, while he still is as insecure on the inside. He seems to be making out with girls at parties, and wants to be cool, but is also clumsy and keeps a lot to himself. He struggles with his sexuality, but has prejudices against homosexuality.

He meets Even, that he gets curious about, and he starts to accept that he is gay (I`m not gay, or maybe a little gay). This is a difficult process to him, mostly because he believes that Even has gone back to his girlfriend, and Isak isolates himself. After good advise from the School "doctor", he finally dares to talk to Jonas, and tell him about his feelings. This is a huge developement. Through support from his friends, he gradually learns to become more honest about his feelings and who he is. He comes out to his friends and dares to let himself fall in love with Even. He also decides to live real and not fake, like he has done before.

He also learns to come over his fear and judgement towards psychiatric difficulties. In the beginning of season 3 he has stopped talking to his mother, because she is "crazy". Then he learns of Even`s bipolar disorder, and he is lead to believe that EVen has no feelings for him, and that he`s just manic. Isak`s first reaction is to withdraw, and give Even up. Luckily, Magnus helps him to see the normality of Even`s disorder. Isak is a smart kid, he listens, and he learns. And he grows so much. He choses Even, and choses to take one minute at the time. "Livet er nå." 

This one is easy. I love Eva/Jonas, Noora/William, Chris/Kasper an the possible Vilde/Magnus, but this one is just the most romantic relationship so far: Evak, or Even and Isak. <3 I googled and found this gif, by the way, don`t know who made it,

Isak + Even - High For This (Skam)

Skam 30 day Challenge - Day 15 - A scene with a song I like

The soundtrack on ths show is like a character on its own, it`s so important. The way they present the music so it fits the scenes is quite amazing actually. I have several favourite songs and melodies, but I will pick  "High for this" (Weeknd) in "15:15-21:21", the last Clip of episode 8. I feel like this is the easy, popular choice. But it`s true, I really like it. It works so good with the scene.

I also love "Hate me now" (NAS) in that scene Returned. I will never forget that scene. Another favourite is "Waiting" by Nils Bech, which is on the trailer for season 3 of Skam. And, of course, "O Helga Natt" in episode 9, sung by Nils Bech.

Skam 30 Day Challenge -  Day 14 - Most underrated character

Linn is sooo underrated. I relate so much to Linn, I am Linn. I would stay in the sofa for ages, if I could. :D

My favorite Skam quote: 

Vær der for han. Og når alt virker håpløst, bare ta en dag om gangen. Og når en dag blir for mye, bare ta en time om gangen. Og når en time blir for mye, bare ta et minutt om gangen. - Be there for him. And when everything seems hopeless, you just Take one day at a time. And if one day becomes too much, then just take one hour at a time. And if one hour becomes too much, then just take one minute at a time.

Here are some of my other favorites:

Jeg er nødt til å finne ut hva mine egne meninger er. Og det må jeg gjøre alene - I have to find out what my own meanings are. And I have to do it alone.

Folk opplever helt jævlige ting hver dag, og de klarer fortsatt å være hyggelige mot andre. Å være en drittsekk er ikke bare noe man er født som, eller noe man blir. Det er et valg.  - People experience horrible things every day, and they still manage to be nice to each other. To be an asshole is not just something you ar born to be, or something you become. It`s a choice. 

Vi må tro på rettferdighet. Vi må tro på at det gode vinner. For helt serr. Hvis ikke vi tror på det, hvem skal tro på det da? - We have to believe in justice. We have to believe that the good wins. Because, seriously. If we don`t believe that, who is going to believe it then?

Krig starter ikke med vold, det starter med misforståelser og fordommer. Så hvis du sier du er for en fredelig verden, så må du jo i det minste prøve å forstå hvorfor andre tenker og handler som de gjør. Også må du akseptere at ikke alle ser verden på samme måte som deg. -  War doesn’t start with violence, it starts with misunderstanding and prejudice. If you say you want world peace, you have to try to understand why others think and act the way they do. You have to accept that not everyone sees the world the way you do. 

Hvis ikke du engang har gjort et forsøk på å forstå en du elsker, da blir jeg pessimistisk på verdens vegne. - If you haven’t even made an attempt to understand the one you love.. Then I’ll be pessimistic on behalf of the whole world. Everyone fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always. 

Tror du det er noen regler her? - Do you think there are any rules here?

Jeg synes at før du har tatt den kampen selv, før du har turt å stå opp for den du er, så skal du være jævlig forsiktig med å snakke og heve deg over gay pride. - I think that before you have fought that battle yourself, before you have dared to stand up for who you are, you should be fucking careful with raising yourself above gay pride.

«Islam sier det samme som alltid. Alle mennesker i denne verden er like mye verdt. Og at ingen mennesker skal baksnakkes, krenkes, dømmes eller latterliggjøres. Så hvis du hører noen bruke religion for å argumentere for hatet sitt, så ikke hør på dem. Fordi hat kommer ikke fra religion. Det kommer fra frykt. -  Islam says the same as always. That all people in the world are equal. That no one should slander, abuse, judge, or ridicule. So if you hear someone using religion as an argument for their hate. Don’t listen to them. Because hate doesn’t stem from religion, it stems from fear.

Alt er lov(e) - Everything is love/ Everything is allowed

Du er ikke alene - You are not alone
