Anonymous said:Ā lol I'm the one who sent in that long ass ask that spanned over three different asks and yes I am still coming up with theories! It's hard to focus on schoolwork when you're worried about fictional characters! I was really thinking about when Even and Isak were talking about basically how their respective families would react to them being together and what if, if everything else he said is true, that what Even said about his parents loving Isak is the lie? We have legitimately (part 1... oh boy
Part 2) we have legitimately no background on Even besides a couple of snippets like his age and things he's told Isak and that video. What if he went to tell his parents about Isak and they freaked? As a closeted gay/bi/pan, however Even identifies, person, that can be a lot. You know we really give slack to Isak and his closeted behavior towards like Eskild and Emma but no one is really giving any slack to Even! It's making me a little mad actually, haha anyway! Sorry to bug you again! š
Reply: Bring all the theories my way!!! hahaĀ ā„ Tell me about it, I have so many papers to write and too many finals to prepare for... :/ Oh, yeah. I think itās super important to remember just how little we actually know about Even, whether itās about his past, his health, his future, or whatever. I think Even needs a little bit more understanding, at least until we know whatās actually going on :) It would be interesting if the problem was Evenās parents..! Youāre not bugging me! Please donāt apologizeĀ ā„Ā ā„Ā
theklainetomyglee said:Ā I want Emma to tell Even that Isak was there. I want Even to freak out, try calling Isak and have to beg Isak to meet and speak to him. Even has a lot of explaining to do and it would be beautiful to see Even giving the longing looks towards Isak from across the room for a change. Isak needs to be fought for. Even needs to prove to Isak that he wants Isak and only Isak. P.S - I love your work! We (the rest of the world) owe you everything to be able to continue watching. Thank you so much! xxx
Reply: Yup, yup, yup! I want this, thank you. It would be nice if Even had to chase for a little bit :/ Like, I mentioned it in an answer earlier and I really want Even to approach Isak, and for Isak to not be so fucking forgiving and understanding without Even needing to explain and work a little, dammit! PS - Thank you so muchĀ ā„ Ā And youāre more than welcome!!Ā ā„Ā ā„Ā
Anonymous said:Ā Hey, so i've been having a couple of theories but i need to know i am not the only one that noticed that when everyone was saying maybe Even had a illness, i went and watched all the episodes again and in the beginning of the season Isak seems to be coughing very often. It may lead nowhere but is something... i probably shouldn't over analyze everything.
Reply: Reply: Hello :) Hmm, youāre right, he is coughing an awful lot. I donāt really know if itās got anything to do with anything, but that wouldāve been really interesting! :) And pfff overanalyzing is all we do here in the Skam-fandom.. I think itās like our motto or something??ā„Ā
Anonymous said:Ā even knew emma's plans about isak and outed him to her as if to say - back off, the boy is mine. bangz
Reply:Ā What a shitty thing to do, he already had Isak?? That poor boy was head over heels lol tfĀ Even:(
Anonymous said:Ā Do you think Isak overacted when he saw Sonja and Even's kiss? I mean I completely understand why he was upset and that it broke his heart seeing it, but technically him and Even aren't together and the first time him and Even kissed (in the pool) he was still in a relationship with Sonja which Isak was aware of and didn't seem to care. I just feel like if he would have waited just a moment and not just run off, even if he didn't say anything things would have gone better.
Reply: Well... No? They might not have been together, but he also didnāt think Even and Sonja were together?? So now it just seems like Even was lying or some shit and/or went back to his girlfriend? On top of that, he was basically told by Emma that his biggest fear (coming out as gay) is bullshit and he just needs toĀ āman upā (which is soo damaging to day tf?).. So his entire world is just falling apart in front of him. AND heās drunk so possibly even more emotional than he would have been had he been sober?? And like, can we remember that heās a 17-year-old kid, and his first real crush kind of just broke his heart? Being a teenager is hard man.. haha :DĀ ā„Ā
Anonymous said:Ā What's up with that boy Even is talking to at the party before Sonja comes and kisses him? Like he looks way more taken aback than a random friend should've been, sort of like Isak looked when he first learned Even has s girlfriend... OR maybe hopefully he's a friend of Even and is surpised to see Sonja kissing Even if they were on a break? Ugh I'm reading too much into it but then again why would they put it there, skam is good at subtle hints... they MUST give us a proper explanation (sigh)
Also Sonja seems mature (that's the way she's portrayed I think, like a loving, caring, motherly even figure for Even, telling him to watch it with the alcohol and all), they've been together for so long and she must know if he was into boys as well (I think he's bi, why does everyone think that he's gay in the closet?) and even if he was, I don't see her outing him or Isak for the matter (ok maybe Isak if she was v v upset with Even for cheating? idk)
Reply: Haha I noticed him too?? But Iām not sure if heās actually of any significance or not? I think itās all good fun though, reading into things and tinhatting a little haha :D It wouldāve been interesting if he was someone.. well, interesting, though. And they are good at subtle hint, so who knows really?! I donāt know why anyone is assuming heās gay. He could totally be anything else as well :) I hope they keep Sonja as a nice and sweet person, I really do :) (Though her being mad at Even and Isak would not make her a bad person or a bitch, just to make that clear! :D)ā„Ā
Anonymous said:1/2 I don't think Sonja just kissed even to get back at isak because then Evan would have pushed her away. I think that from her side they are still a couple. But I want her to be nice as well, that's more interesting and also i feel
2/2 like even has a good taste in people. Can we talk about how super beautiful Sonja is?? I'm developing a crush on her, despite the circumstances haha
Reply: Hmm, yeah. Maybe he would, but so would he if he thought they had broken up and she didnāt? :/ I just really donāt want them to go with the bitchy ex-gf trope, lol.. I want girl-love and girl power hahaĀ ā„ If he is, in fact a good person himself, Iād imagine he has good taste in people, yeah haha No, sheās cute, I get it!! :D
Anonymous said: hey, as a thanks for all your translating (seriously thanks so much!) I thought I'd share my crazy theory... so I know a lot of people think Even might have a mental illness but what if it's actually Sonja who does? And so when Isak made the comment it made Even feel guilty about leaving Sonja (as much as he actually wants to be with Isak) but he's trying to do what he thinks is the right thing by going back to her
Reply:Ā Hello! Youāre welcome (seriously youāre very welcome!). All crazy theories are welcome here! Thatās one I havenāt heard before, haha! Interesting.. Iām not saying much about mental illness-stuff though, because I donāt know enough to talk about it without the possibility of hurting/offending anyone and I wouldnāt want that :/ But please do tell more about it, though it would be great if you could also maybe tell why and what? :DĀ ā„Ā
Anonymous said:Ā my theory about the preview if it's not isak/even: isak went on grindr and decided to meet with some guy to forget about even, maybe they made out a little and then he changed his mind bc he likes even. nothing happened and there's no sex scene
Reply: I really hope this isnāt the case though. I donāt know, I know a lot of people thinks this could be it because a sex scene with Even would be rushed after everything thatās happened... But taking Isakās internalized homophobia and current state of mind, I feel as though it would be super rushed and weird for him to find someone on Grindr??? :/ But what do I know really hahah
Anonymous said:Ā I hope it's not a Grindr hookup :/
Reply: Noooooooo. Please, Isak. Donāt go Grindr-hooking, lol.
Anonymous said:Ā Hi I'm very new to this fandom although I've been loving SKAM for longer. I don't know if I have a theory or not about Even's behaviour, but unfortunately I have some personal experience that resembles this situation a lot. I fell in love with a guy who already was in a long term relationship with another, he told me that they had been drifting apart lately and that he loved me and wanted to be with me instead. He then talked to her and sort of broke up with her. It was only a few weeks later -
I realised he had lied to me & hadn't talked to her at all. They were still very much together & even living together. & every time he came to visit me (we didn't live in the same city) he apparently told her he was visiting a friend. & when he was with me he ensured me they were finished & that they were splitting up. I found out because friends of mine just had become friends with him on Facebook & told me his relationship status was still linked to hers.He had blocked that info for me to see-
So yh, I guess I just mean that unfortunately, how shitty it might seem, Even could've lied to Isak about actually talking to Sonja. Just because he's lost & don't know what to do. But that he also doesn't want to lose Isak, & he knows he can't say he's still with Sonja as well as seeing Isak. :/ Hopefully Even will decide what he really wants to do & then commit to it rather than trying to juggle them both. I think he might be scared to hurt any of them. After all, he's been with Sonja for long
Reply: I am so incredibly sorry this happened to you :( You didnāt deserve to be treated like that.. I really dislike cheaters and players. Itās totally possible that this is what is going on, but Iām really hoping it isnāt. To be honest, if Even really have been playing this whole time, I hope him and Isak donāt end up together. Isak deserve so much better than that. But Iām still holding on to my belief that itās all been a misunderstanding, and then Iāll start disliking Even if Iām proven wrong hahaĀ ā„ Ā Again, Iām really sorry for what happened to you. That is never okay, and no one deserves that. Hugs :) ā„Ā
Anonymous said:Ā just a random thought i had whilst watching skam back, i think Even does have a mental illness, but i dont think he's got depression like everyone is saying, i think he might be bipolar
Reply: That could be, anon! :) Frankly, I try to stay away from actually theorizing about the mental illness-part myself. I find it super interesting, and Iām sooo glad itās being talked about in a show as popular as Skam, but I just donāt know enough about it personally to actually theorize about it. I donāt want to mistakenly diagnose someone, and generalize and offend :/ But please keep them coming, and it would be great if people could also explain why they think Even or Isak has a certain illness :)Ā ā„Ā
