I wonder which season they'll start with, if this gets made. There was vague talk about a South Korean remake in 2018/-19, but now there's a casting call and information about a production company and a director.

having now finished druck s8, I’m incredibly saddened at how this season has gone, considering it’s the end of the second generation, and it’s unlikely that we will see any of these characters again. after 10 weeks, mailin is still a cipher—she had no internal struggles; her flaws were left unaddressed from previous seasons. there was no growth. overall, this season felt incredibly pointed towards silencing BIPOC members of this cast—particularly ish, which isn’t surprising given her comments. every episode, repeatedly, had ava and fatou either comforting or praising mailin for her “feminism,” her “girlbossing,” when it’s clear in seasons produced by q3/jünglinge that ava, in particular, would not say these things. for a season where finn was the LI, we learned nothing more about him or his family, besides that they run a furniture business impacted by the pandemic. yara was given a romance plotline with zoe, but that was entirely offscreen until the last two episodes. kieu my was only allowed to criticize the action mailin and zoe engaged with once, and it was apparently because nhungi and the others intervened on set. season 8 was also a season pointed towards conservatism—nora upheld purity culture in her final clip before departing for three weeks, and essentially shamed mailin, one of her best friends, for taking pictures of herself. in one of their fights, finn also did the same to mailin. zoe and mailin’s activist action with the destroying of books was essentially a parody of Teenage Activism™️, while in earlier seasons, activism was treated as something worthwhile, something important to engage with and discuss.

but the thing is, it just wasn’t season 8 of druck. season 7 had much of the same issues. the instas and sascha were static. the season, while hinting at the ideas of toxic friendship, did not touch on that internal struggle within isi from season 6, choosing to instead show the topic of gender dysphoria. while this topic is incredibly important, the new writers and SM team did not remember how isi was the one who introduced kieu my to the LGBTQ+ community, queer terms and language, and how she already was following drag queens and non-binary people on IG, and would have had some inkling into what was happening with themselves. the writers chose an easy route instead of building on the nuances already in the character. lou’s actions from s7 with the tampons could also be seen as a parody of true activism, and she also may have been a character created to fight back against the “isi is fatphobic!” allegations—but he was. that four minute clip in which he apologizes to ava for the bullying, and then it is never addressed again confirms it. the LGBTQ+ youth group & david could have been incredibly important for isi, but they were only shown in two clips; same with the turkish community, where they made a nameless neighbor into a bigot and homophobic and transphobic, rather than addressing the issues where consti essentially assaulted isi and made terrible comments towards her head-on. sascha, much like finn, didn’t have a personality beyond plant boy and LI either, and isi treated him like shit in his shoe until a bogus apology in ep 9. screentime was taken from BIPOC members of the cast and given largely to two white newcomers. eren had to fight for the pronoun scene, but also mentioned the efforts of the team/castmates to help them in that fight.

it’s sad to see the parallels between s5/s6 and how s7/s8 turned out. this last clip really showed me how much this cast had to fight tooth and nail to try and protect these characters who they loved. the cashqueens memory scenes consisted of s5/s6 references; as did the montage in between the cast speaking, again primarily about the early generation 2 seasons. overall, i wish the cast the best, i wish jünglinge & q3 the best. their talent is stunning, and i can’t wait to see what they do next. thank you, mina, sira, eren, frida, ish, zethphan, nhungi, madeleine, elena, anh, casper, paul, and paula. thank you for these characters. they will always have a place in my heart, even if the writing doesn’t. rant over!!

#good overview of what some of my issues were #i think they tried to make mailin feeling comfortable with her sexuality the internal struggle of the season #but it was kind of all over the place and not well displayed and it made it unconvincjng #druck #meta #ds8

I really appreciate that Q3 took the feedback they received after s4 and worked to create a generation that featured the stories viewers wanted to see. Thanks Jonas for writing Freundinnen First and thanks Jasmina for being so involved with the fandom and devoted to the show.

Thanks Jünglinge for all that you brought not just in terms of casting, character development and directing, but also making it a condition that all cast and crew attend anti-racism workshops and hiring crew of color behind the scenes.

Thanks especially to Raquel Dukpa and Naomi Bechert, who did a lot of good work with casting (Raquel) and as social media manager (Naomi in s5-s6). Druck was for them both one of their first credits as writers, and they got a lot of shit for their trouble.

Thanks Lukas for all that you put of yourself into s7 and how much you offered to gen 2.

And finally I want to thank the cast, but most especially Mina, Sira, Nhungi, Madeleine, Paula (girl, sorry this fandom hated you for getting between their beloved boy ships) and Eren.

AND OF COURSE AICHA, the most robbed, the most outspoken, thank you for everything that you gave us. I'm sorry we couldn't give you more in return. 💛

#druck #meta #good to shout out the specific people who really cared about the same things we did and worked to make it happen

the undeserved mailin praise was so unnecessary . BUT the montage of all the seasons and the actors also getting to voice their opinions on this generation and representation was so beautiful ☹️. shoutout to whoever decided to reuse forever young for this.

It's all so bittersweet cause Ik damn well that the actors must've cringed trying to act happy during the 3 min long mailin praise. Praising druck for its representation after having butchered the last two seasons must've been weird as well. druck's rep in general is great but what they did with it since s7... it's all so heartbreakingly conflicting and bittersweet💀

Some highlights from the Eren livestream 🫶🏻

”How do you feel now that Druck is over?” “FREE“

”What I would’ve changed about *giggles* Season 7?? *giggles* -next question“

“Do you know why they never mentioned the word non binary in S7?“ *utter silence, stares at the camera in silence for 30s straight*

”Ava deserves much more, she deserves the world. I think y’all know what I’m thinking“

“Did you prefer Season 7 or season 8?" *cracks up and laughs for a min*

It's kind of sad that's it's over but in they way like if your cousin you used to be really good friends with suddenly became toxic because of some guy they're dating and now they're not invited to your graduation. Even if they broke up with that guy yall aren't really friends anymore, yknow? That's druck kfjcjdj. At least most of the seasons were decent and you can tell that for so many of the seasons they really cared about the story they were telling and what it meant to the audience. It will always be quite special in that way <3

Most undruck season because even though the protagonist is doing things, it's so unconnected to anything. We see what the tensions are (apologize or be expelled, cognitive dissonance, etc), but they've taken no time to show how mailin gets from mindset A to B putside of plot points. It's aimless. Shame because these are topics I feel are true to og skam's message and focus, it just seems like druck won't put in the effort it used to and leans on the audience filling in the blanks for them. :/

Your post about Druck couples just made me remember that article that came out during s7 showing "10 Sas*ha personality traits" and almost all of them where like "He is Isi's friend" "He likes plants" "He is Isi's neighbor". That was one of the funniest things ever.

i am so glad they made clear he didn't live in a little secluded hut in the woods without any neighbors :) he really is the most bland character to have ever graced out television screens
