I'm sorry, but zoe and yara didn't happen yet but it STEPS on isi/sascha and finn/mailin so hard, like you know the new writers are bad when the background couple is already 10000 times more interesting than their main ones

No but if yara is the girl zoe is crushing on, i'll like it, but i'm gonna be so sad because they CLEARLY could've used her as the li for s7 and i'll never get over how the storyline would be much better with her than just adding two white characters with almost no personality, one as a fake li and another as a the "real" li who barely had any development with Isi

Druck putting couple goals in a clip that features the worst couples of the new gen (sascha and isi/finn and mailin) while kietou and spiderwitz exist and are fan favorites??? They are just trying to force the couples the new writers wrote and and it's just embarassing at this point

Y'all surprised at mailin and finn getting together out of the blue, when last season all Isi did was ignore Sascha, ditch him and chase after another girl for half of the season, so they could say they had "true feelings for sascha all along 😝" and make sascha forgive them in 3 seconds, even though both him and km said isi treated him like constantin treated them, so the two could get together??? Like, they acted like treating someone poorly, ignoring them and basically being all over someone else = having a crush. So, it's obvious they couldn't care less about finn and mailin having any development?

If one thing these writers have is being consistent in writing terrible terrible couples

[alexcollix7]

Are they really going to to break up nora/josh or kieu my/fatou when sascha and isi are right there??? I'm sorry, but spiderwitz and kietou were literally the only good couples of the new gen, not to mention the only ones who had good development. It makes no sense to make them break up for some sort of "impact" while letting couples who have unbalaced/underdeveloped relationships be together ( that includes finn/mailin, and ava/mervan).

After we found out this isn't ava season, I want to discuss how badly druck and skam in general have treated fat characters over the years.

The ONLY fat character we had in the og skam was Chris, and she was mainly used as comical relief, instead of getting a storyline for herself. While the romances between the other girls were seen as serious, Chris hook ups with guys and attempts to flirt, were always represented as something "funny", having Isak and even her own friends laugh at her in such scenes. The two versions of Chris in the remakes who got more of their own story shown, was Cris from skam españa, who was playbed by what? A skinny actress, and Alexia from skam france, who was sidelined as Arthur's love interest for a skinny actress aswell.

Now we get druck having one fat character in the show: Ava, then introducing another fat girl, Lou, only for her to be used as a fake love interest for a character who was confirmed as fatphobic to Ava, got a season before her, and had their acrions excused by a four minute clip. And who ended up being the real love interest in the season? A skinny guy.

Hanna, the main character on druck season one, was also just given space to talk in one scene about how bullied she was for being "the fat girl" when she was younger, and apparently "saved by Leonie" because she decided to be her friend.

Now, season 8, that was antecipated by many to be a season about Ava, was given instead to Mailin, another white skinny girl who had way less development than Ava as a character, and way less story to tell.

So fat characters, or mainly fat girls, in skamverse are either not present, and if they are, their characters are constantly sidelined, (usually by skinny actresses and actors), used as comic relief, and never shown to be truly desired or desirable. They can never be love interests, and they can never be mains, instead they can only play characters who are in the background, no matter how much potential they have. Their stories always have to centered around being bullied by their weight, or being made fun of, but yet fatphobia and it's repercussions is never explored as a real theme in the show.

It's just really hurtful to see skam after skam remake cast talented plus sized actresses only for that to be their roles. And is especially hurtful seeing this coming from druck when Ava's actress actually speaks out by fatphobia and body positivity, and that's obviously an important issue for her.

People being like "you don't know if Ish post is about druck" like Druck's new team didn't solve Isi's fatphobia towards Ava in a four minute clip (while Ish is someone who talks and cares about body positivity), then casted her aside and decided have more screentime about the struggles of white character that barely had any personality, Sascha, regarding Isi's actions over hers? In the same season they also used a plus sized girl as a fake li, and gave more attention to new white characters instead of the poc main/their poc friends?

And not only that, but they also didn't have Ava in the final episode, and gave season 8 to a white character who had no background story whatsoever, while Ava had plenty that was being developed during season 5 and season 6? The very same character who was totally insensitive about race issues to both Fatou and Ava?

Druck had a very different concept by the start of season 5, and that was what the actors signed up to. It was clear that Ava had an important storyline and role for the old writers, but that suddently seemed to change in season 7. I'm glad Ish is speaking out and letting her feelings be known, because she deserves a whole lot better than this.

Finishing that thought, I know you love the characters, but do not give druck s8 any views. Especially now that even the cast is letting us know the situation is not ok at all. The new team sure as hell don't deserve the attention, or any praise. If you want to support the actors, try to watch and follow their other works, and let them know of that support, especially when they are trying to let themselves be heard, like Ish did.

I'm sorry, but sascha and isi are, in terms of development and storytelling, the worst couple of druck so far. I mean the fact that we had 5 episodes dedicated to Isi ignoring Sascha and being insterested in someone else, while we got 10 episodes dedicated to the dynamic between every other couple of druck, plus the fact that you can literally do an entire compilation of clips of just Isi treating Sascha badly, is all the proof you need in order to know that.

And no, chemistry between the actors doesn't replace story/development, especially in a season about unhealthy relationship where their own was showed as one.

So yeah it's hard to believe the biggest part of the fandom doesn't love them for the simple fact of Sascha being a white cis boy. Especially when people hated on every single girl people liked Isi with.

[alexcollix7]

The way Finn and Mailin can take the place as druck's worst couple from Sascha and Isi now, unless they get a little development, because that's really all it takes to be better than them

[alexcollix7]

The way druck excused Isi body shaming Ava for years with 4 minute clip, casted a fat girl in season 7 to be a fake love interest to a main that was literally fatphobic to their friend, only so a skinny guy could be the real LI. And now just gave a season that clearly should be Ava's, to a white skinny girl who had way less story/development than her. They really said fatphobia rights!!!!

Honestly at this point, I'll just ask for y'all to not give druck more views. I know a lot of you love the characters, but I really doubt they are going to change the new team, or actually give Ava a season at all, and if they do, it's most likely not going to be respectful to her character. Giving this season more views will just prove the thought they have that focusing on white mains, and putting dark-skinned/plus sized characters on the background, it's the right decision in terms of maintaining an audience.

It was great while it lasted, but it's clear this new team has a very different proposition than the first one did, and although we might like the cast, it's not the show we signed up for. Aicha deserved this season, and she deserved to have a lot more screentime in season 7, but they chose to sideline her for new white characters who barely had any personality.

The new gen we loved and we're looking for to see belongs to the old team, and I'll forever mourn the fact they didn't get to bring the tragetory they had for the characters they created to life. But it's done.

So in the end of the day, although I know you love the characters, and the pairings, I ask of you, if you can: don't get druck more views.
