hi there, I'm looking for a fic and i'm not entirely sure you wrote it but i thought i'd give it a go anyways, its an evak fic set in a small village where the sun never sets, isak is sent there as dective to investigate a murder and even is the village recluse. its a bit of nordic noir with very dark, gloomy vibes. i also remember it being written for some event or contest. i hope you have any idea which fic im looking for
Dude. You are talking about Rest Easy, featuring this hot mess bearded hottie Detective. And his tall and intriguing love interest. So good!
Written by fandom homie @ghostcat3000- her first Nordic Noir story. This fic is made for rereading. The setting, the world building, the characters, the details, the gorgeous fan art! I love all of GC's Evaks but these two are one of my forever favorites. The way the love story unfolds is just...swoon. 10/10. I'll pass this message on to her- it's her birthday!
Or, my dad probably wouldn’t mind. But mom would?
It’s none of her fucking concern. We haven’t spoken since I moved out.
So you don’t keep in touch anymore? No.
The second episode (which you can listen to here) was mostly a lot of summaries and commentary about the season by the hosts and then more of the interview with Lisa Teige. I've translated Lisas parts:
(Starts at 09:30)
Torkil Risan (host): The main character in this season, Eva, needs help. A little randomly she’s at a skating ramp looking at Jonas skating to Wu Tang Clan, singing about shame on you if you’re cheating. At the same time we are watching Eva, who has just cheated on Jonas with Chris, open up and tell Isak about it. Shortly afterwards Eva is standing in the school yard, and straight up gets hit by Chris’ girlfriend Iben. A painful memory for Lisa Teige. *watches clip* Do you remember this?
LT: *laughs* yeah, I do. But I had kinda forgotten it, so I got a bodily memory of that hit to the face.
TR: It looks like the actor has actually closed her fist. And she get’s you on the cheek
LT: Yeah, yeah. And we tried this out very cautiously at the start “how are we going to do this”, and planned it. But I remember it hurt *laughs*. It’s that misunderstanding, a stressful situation and you see her coming, but I don’t think you ever think someone’ll hit you. But she does, with force.
TR: One thing that might, or might not, be surprising is that Lisa Teige, you have not seen this since it aired? You haven’t seen Skam at all, besides season 1 when it aired.
LT: There’s a lot of actors who find it very uncomfortable to watch themselves, who don't do it. So I know I’m not alone in this. Maybe it’s that it’s ongoing - you can watch what you did last week and you’re going to set tomorrow. That would’ve been very strange, to watch yourself on the screen and go straight to set.
TR: If you see Skam on the NRK site, what goes through your head when you get reminded of that?
LT: I’m like ugh and scroll past it. Or, I do find it nice to see the picture and that it says Skam but I would never press play on it. I watched the first season because it was so absurd to me to be in that position and get that opportunity. So I was very proud that I had made it. That I got that job and wondered how I would do and I could see it went well and people liked it. That was cool to see. And then there was so much attention and a lot of outside pressure so I had to distance myself from it. I hope that one day in the future I can sit down and enjoy it, but I’m not there yet.
(Skip to 22:55)
TR: This is the break up of Jonas and Eva, laid over a sex scene. A very well known scene, set to Take me to church by Hozier. A song that doesn’t only have good associations for Lisa Teige.
LT: That song is ruined- nah *laughs*.
TR: What’s your relationship to this song, because you’re the main character in a scene where this song is very important .
LT: The song is a emancipation song in a way. Really a very beautiful song. But it’s also this meeting between Jonas and Eva, where something is over, but you still like each other a lot and it’s not an easy thing to realize that it’s over here for us. But she stands quite strong in it and it seems like she’s thought a lot about it. But I do think she’s kinda mean at that moment.
TR: She is. But now she’s going to find herself, which I think is very mature of a 17 year old. Do you remember what the reaction was to this, outside of Skam? Because at this point in time, Skam is already big.
LT: I didn’t read comments, so I haven’t heard that much about it, besides those I’ve met that have talked to me.
TR: What do they say?
LT: Everyone wants them to be together. And you’re cheering them on if you’ve not been in a similar situation and can see that maybe I should've made that decision but I couldn’t do it. You look up to Eva for that. But you get very fond of them as a couple and wish for them to be together. So I think maybe it hurt for the viewers to see that they weren’t.
TR: Why did you keep away from the comment sections?
LT: In the beginning there weren’t that many comments but then it was so much. It’s been a platform to discuss and follow along in a different way to other shows and I never actively went there. But then you were contacted on social media and all kinds of places. And I remember Julie telling me that if you take to heart the nice comments, you’ll also listen to the mean ones. And that really stayed with me. So I listen to the nice comments from close ones and I’ve tried to keep a distance from the rest.
TR: What spaces does Skam have in your life today? And what has that process been like?
LT: It’s gone from being super intense, both with filming and being that small family on set, to it just ending. It was very quiet, very sudden afterwards. And that’s weird. Because it’s very intense working with film and tv. And you felt that you needed to take a step back from it and consider who you are and who you want to be, what’s your next step. And time has passed and I think it’s strange people come up to me and say “hey, I like Skam”, that they’ve watched it yesterday, because it feels so far away. And I'm struggling to remember what happened. It’s strange. But Skam sneaks its way into my everyday life. Constantly when I greet people they say “I think I know you, how?” and it could be that’ve met before but often it’s “Skam, yeah, I remember now”. So I can’t get away from it. It shapes my life in a lot of ways when meeting other people.
TR: It’s a lot of positive feelings of course. But do I hear right that there’s something you haven’t processed here, something difficult connected to it as well?
LT: Yes, of course. I constantly wonder what my life would have been like without Skam. At the same time you are so grateful for all the opportunities you’ve gotten. And I really didn’t know what I said yes to when I said yes to Skam. I remember they asked me during an interview “how would you manage being famous?”. And in that moment it’s just like “yeah whatever, that’s fine, it’ll be cool”. But then it’s difficult for most people. It’s not always easy. But there’s challenges with every job, so it’s part of life. But it’s a strange situation to be in.
TR: What’s the hardest part of having been part of Skam?
LT: I wouldn’t mind being anonymous. I very rarely feel like I am. Even when I’m on holiday someone can turn up and get starstruck from seeing me on the street. And it’s always nice when people come up to you and say hi, much better than try to sneakily record you from afar. But I forget I’ve been part of it and suddenly it’s in your face. I do like being anonymous and it’s strange to know that I might not experience that again like when I was 16.
Here's something I have always wanted to say: Tarjei and Henrik are working together again!! This is a film called "ANATEMA - a bold and emotionally charged body-horror drama currently in development with the highly original director-writer duo Ea Johanne Sandberg and Alpha Nord." 🎥👏🏼
The film also features Flo Fagerli and Lea Myren. I’ve included a description as well. 🤩 Please note this film is still currently *in development,* meaning there is a chance it will not be greenlit, but we are all going to cross our fingers!! 🤞🏼
Taken from the post's caption: A number of pictures from a couple of absolutely fantastic and hard days. After a series of process oriented stage re-enactments and extremely many cookies, we sit back with so much faith and hope for ANATEMA, and for the people who are part of the journey
Ps. Really nice people!
