Sorry if my english is bad but I can’t stop watching the scene of the ballon squad in the karaoke club and I’ve noticed a few things.
I’m really starting to think there’s something with Elias. When he sees Even, he looks like ‘oh shit, troubles’ and touches Yousef’s arm to get his attention.
But it’s not like he’s worried for Yousef, he doesn’t even look at him. His eyes are on Even the whole time.
And then in the second shot, he’s looking at Even and Isak from head to toes like 'who’s that, wtf’ (but I can’t tell if it’s in a positive or negative way).
He’s the only one to really look at Even and Isak. Adam and Mutasim don’t give a damn. Mikael disappeared (no idea why but it seems weird because Elias is the first one to notice Even and Mikael is not even in that shot so?? Could he see him from the entrance?)
And for Yousef: he doesn’t have a huge reaction. Like, Elias seems a little shocked as if he hadn’t seen Even since Bakka but not Yousef. He actually has a small smile while looking at Even singing with Isak in the second shot.
(I swear he smiles! Maybe not much but you can see the difference between his face and Elias’)
However, he quickly turns his head (while Elias doesn’t. so seeing Even is not a big deal for Yousef?) and faces Sana and taht’s when his 'smile’ fades away. He looks a bit mad but not because of Even since he didn’t react as much as Elias did.
So why is he mad then? There’s this theory that Sana’s mom told him to stay away and that Sana talked to her about a muslim guy she likes, so maybe he’s upset because he thinks Sana is playing with his feelings but since Sana’s mom texted her that she will stop meddling with Sana’s life (don’t even know if that’s correct English but who cares? not me! kidding, I feel like a disaster), it doesn’t make sense.
Still, Yousef looks mad. Is it why he kissed Noora? To hurt Sana back? But it doesn’t make sense since he sent her outside. Or maybe he saw Sana when she came back inside the karaoke club but she went straight to the bathroom. If he wanted to hurt her because he was mad that wasn’t the best timing. Well, it was lol but if he planned for her to see him kiss Noora he should have waited until she came back inside the club and make sure she could see them, right?
(No, I’m not posting the picture of Noora and Yousef kissing! Nei, nei, nei!)
And I don’t get why he didn’t go outside to defend his friends. It doesn’t fit his personality at all to me. At first, I thought Noora may have told him to stay with her or something but in the clip when him, Elias and Sana try to force the pepsimax girls out of the Bakkoush’s house, we can see a girl trying to talk to him and he is like 'nei, nei, don’t care’.
I feel like he would’ve done the same with Noora. His friends (who are in an upcoming fight) over an upset but cute girl he talked to once or twice, right?
Also, he runs into Sana and touches her (which he never did before, he always respected her private space even is the kitchen’s clip) like what he is about to say is a big deal
(that’s good quality lol!! By the way, thanks to skamenglish for their videos!)
but he doesn’t go outside? That doesn’t make sense either. And it actually doesn’t fit the he-was-mad theory, either. If he was really mad he would’ve been distant, right? Or if he was so worried to the point that he forgot his feelings towards Sana, why didn’t he go outside to help?
Plus, I rewatched the youtube video in which the ballon squad talks about Even. Mikael is looking at Yousef like 'yup, maybe we shouldn’t talk about that’.
He seems more worried about Yousef than about himself. However, in the next shot he disappeared (again! can’t you just face the facts Mikael?!) and the boys are waiting for him but when he comes back, he doesn’t seem to be sad or upset.
I don’t know why he left but to me, his reaction suggests something like: 'something not cool happened, we lost a friend, that’s not fun but those things happen, it’s life’. He doesn’t sad about it maybe a bit nostaligic.
Yousef is more affected. It seems to me that at first he is surprised to hear about Even :
and then he doesn’t think it’s a good idea to include him in the challenge:
and then it looks like he don’t wan’t to talk about it anymore, it makes him sad:
On the opposite, when Mikael says 'Even’, Elias is the only one who doesn’t express surprise, he doesn’t look like 'what?!’.
The next shot is him shouting 'flameemoji’. Some people say this is Elias refering to Even going to hell because he is gay. We don’t know much about Elias, that’s true, but I really don’t think it’s something he will do. Or maybe as an illusion to protect someone else but to me, he doesn’t hate gays. He described Yousef as the most muslim guy he knew because he respects everyone.
Here, he implies that the most muslim thing to do is to be kind to everyone (and to not drink which he did at least once so I think he’s struggling with something in relation to his faith (not necessarily him being gay)).
Plus, Yousef doesn’t react to Elias saying 'flameemoji’ which I feel like he (or the others maybe?) would’ve done if it was that rude, right?
Then, we don’t hear him much in the video but still, he seems interested in what his friends are saying about Even while Yousef is not that much. And in the shot in which Mikael disappeared, I don’t know what they say but Elias looks at Mutasim like 'oups, what have we done?’
Sooo I’m really confused about that video. I don’t feel like the boys reactions to Mikael saying 'Even’ in the youtube video fits their reactions in the karaoke club’s clip.
In the video, Yousef is the most affected and Mikael protects him (or Even? I’m not sure. He looks at Yousef and looks worried. And then prevents the boys to talk about Even by saying 'it’s not important’ (well, yes, it is!))
While in the fight scene, Elias seems to be the most affected.
And Mikael (with Adam and Mutasim) tries to separate Elias from Mahdi. We can also see him trying to separate Adam from Jonas. In no way, Mikael is fighting against someone, he always tries to separate and thus protect his friends.
When the fight is over, we can see Mikael running after Elias and reaching for his arm.
But still, in the youtube video, they say something happened between 'Even and Mikael’. Mikael!
Some people say Yousef is gay but compared to how Isak flirted with Emma, Yousef seems to really like Sana, more than as a friend. It’s obvious to me in the scene in front of her house. I couldn’t find the perfect moment to screenshot because I feel like it’s all about his attitude when he’s with her but let’s be honest, in that whole clip, he looks at her like he admires and wants her. Isak, on the opposite, was always exagerating when he was flirting with Emma and was not himself. I may be wrong but Yousef seems sincere to me. I don’t feel like he is faking it.
(by the way, don’t assume I’m a yousana fan and I want them to be endgame. I like Yousef as a character but I don’t care if they end up together or not as long as the story is coherent. Sana-happy is the endgame I want)
On the opposite, Mikael could be gay. But I don’t know because this theory is all based on him wearing nail polish. In the SMS roulette video + the OVERSETTE EVENTYR CHALLENGE video + the REAKSJONSVIDEO - POLICE FAILS video. I’m pretty sure he also had nail polish on in the video about his job interview but I couldn’t screenshot his hand properly. It’s always on his left hand which I find a bit strange but maybe he likes it this way (or is it a weird trend in Norway?)
I don’t want to go too far in this theory about Mickael being gay because even if I’ve never seen a straight guy wearing nail polish I feel bad about labelling him as gay just because of his nails. That’s not fair.
Anyways! I’m completely lost and I don’t understand shit but I feel like Sana’s capacity to love and protect her friends matches Mikael’s.
What’s your opinion about all this mess?
