What’s The Opposite Of A Glo Up?

What’s the opposite of a glo up?

The Unbearable Weight of Staying

by Warsan Shire

i don’t know when love became elusive what i know, is that no one i know has it my fathers arms around my mothers neck fruit too ripe to eat, a door half way open when your name is a just a hand i can never hold everything i have ever believed in, becomes magic. i think of lovers as trees, growing to and from one another searching for the same light, my mothers laughter in a dark room, a photograph greying under my touch, this is all i know how to do, carry loss around until i begin to resemble every bad memory, every terrible fear, every nightmare anyone has ever had. i ask did you ever love me? you say of course, of course so quickly that you sound like someone else i ask are you made of steel? are you made of iron? you cry on the phone, my stomach hurts i let you leave, i need someone who knows how to stay.

stuff in the secret history that’s not even that abnormal like literally just a normal part of being in college

- frankly? the fact that richard becomes friends with them so quick and is like “these are the best friends of my life we will hang out forever and ever and ever” even though anyone with an outsider’s perspective would be like “bro these people are weird and toxic as hell”

- you can’t sign up for classes that seem like they would be very easy to sign up for and the only explanation an advisor will give you is that “professors are weird about this kind of stuff” and you’re like… isn’t that… your job… to get me into the class anyway???

- “ ‘were you at lunch?’ she meant had i been out of the room yet that day. i said i hadn’t.”

- when henry is like richard you were in stem for a hot minute right? can you do this extremely complex calculus/chemistry problem for me? and richard is like well first of all chemical substances are measured in moles and henry’s like what’s a mole

- that moment when richard is pacing frantically around his room thinking “oh my god i’ve been in college for three years and i still have no idea what i want to do with my life oh my god oh my god and i have to fill out these financial aid papers right fucking now because my major no longer exists” lmao that’ll happen

- the fact that simultaneously it’s the most action-packed and plot-twist-filled book ever and yet if you read closely sixty percent of the book is like “i woke up late. after class i did homework for five hours. no one talked to me. then i went and ate dinner at the dining hall. nobody talked to me there, either”. that’s exactly what college feels like!

- when richard finds out his friends committed murder and immediately has to finish his essay that’s due that day

- when they kill bunny and that’s the week that julian assigns them so much work that none of them would be able to do it even under normal circumstances

- when francis is like “richard you need to drive me to the hospital i think i’m having a heart attack” and the doctor is like “what you have is anxiety” and francis is like nah that can’t possibly be it

- “metahemeralism’s gotta be the ticket here, see?”

SKAM Remakes Masterpost

Since the deluge of SKAM remakes have started, I have had to keep track of a number of different sites/english translations/playlists/character names, so I’m condensing all the information I have into one post for ease of use as a resource.

If you’re totally new here, all of them are based off of the original Norwegian version. Skam = shame in Norwegian. There were 4 seasons. The show is centered around 5 girls at the beginning of high school. Each season focused on a different character and was presented from their perspective. Season 1: Eva. Season 2: Noora. Season 3: Isak. Season 4: Sana. One website was used to provide updates from the main character’s perspective with clips/social media posts/texts/chats.

If you want to watch the original translated into English go here (they also have full episodes of the remakes translated to english when available). This is the original Skam website.

As of the writing of this post, there are only confirmations of up to season 2 for any of the remakes. The main characters involved in those seasons are: Eva, Noora, Vilde, Chris and Sana: the girl squad. Jonas & Isak: Eva’s boyfriend & his friend. Ingrid, Sara: essentially rivals/ex-friends of Eva. William, Chris: “senior” boys.

Remakes are slated for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands & America. America, France, Germany & Italy have all started. Spain, the Netherlands have not. AmSkam (aka Skam Austin, Skam America) is being run by the original Norwegian team, including creator Julie Andem.

The currently releasing remakes are listed below in the order of their premiere. Please assume that official sites are geoblocked for the specific country.

Current as of 9 May 2018. I’ll try to keep this updated as more information is available.

It’s a bit lengthy so under the cut. (Please don’t steal this… it took awhile to make)

This YouTube channel uploads all the clips from all the remakes and generally they get English subtitles.

Skam France (aka Skam la série, Skam Belgique):

Started 6 February 2018. Takes place in Paris, France. Season 1 ended, 4 April 2018. Season 2 started, 9 April 2018. Currently on season 2 focused on Manon. It is, minus a few french cultural adjustments, exactly like the original series with plot and script. Unlike the original, unfortunately, Skam France doesn’t have a centralized website with clips/social media/texts.
