ok real talk coming out of my hibernation to say this but i genuinely have such a deep spiritual connection to skam i do think it made me who i am today and i do think im a better person for it, specifically sram
writing zagreb's last muse taught me so much about writing in general and made me found a passion i thought i'd lost and showed me i CAN write long works (still to this day my longest piece of fiction ever) and novel-writing IS feasible and i CAN plot effectively and i've since been accepted to a writing summer camp and a competitive writing mentorship and it taught me so much about community and i made so many good online friends as a result of it and it got me through what would've otherwise been an incredibly dull summer
i seriously owe so much of the last year to sram and my early teen years to skam in general, i still mourn matej, i'm still deeply in love with the entire franchise and everything about it, and i don't think i'll ever not be
skam is the type of media/fandom that sticks with you. it's infectious, and it's euphoric, and it's brilliant. it's a global phenomenon. even outside of queer rep, it has done so much for so many communities (muslim teens, trans teens, mentally ill teens, teens who have been SAd, teens with EDs, teens with shitty home lives and shitty boyfriends, etc etc etc)
i love skam
