Liveblogging, kinda...


A Lily Loveless interview in three parts: 1 | 2 | 3
Laya and Nick promote Skins the novel. 

IT'S STARTING. I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN SO SURE THAT I WOULDN'T BE DISAPPOINTED BY SOMETHING, so one could say that I have rather massive expectations (also no idea at all how to make this bloody year go by faster).  

 Ín case you haven't been following these characters on twitter: Mini and Franky designed the clothes together. They share interests now and everything. And Mini stares rather longingly at a picture of Franky, and it's like Skins looked into my brain and made all my wishes come true. Franky likes people and Mini likes Franky. (and I am actually also quite fond of tragic, unrequited love and stuff).

THAT'S THE UGLIEST TRACKING DEVICE I'VE EVER SEEN. Are we meant to believe that Grace didn't NOTICE the evil red light? 

Rich looks likes... a sixteen year old boy. Who might be in a boygroup. Alex Arnold was probably happy to be rid of the wig though.  

"Do we need money?" LOL.  

"What's in the box?"  

 I actually watched the first episode yesterday and it's brilliant how this scene contrasts with Franky's horrible introduction to Roundview via girls' locker room - no "earth to oddness", no "is this like, an actual choice". 

Liv's hair is glorious too. I can't go to any comment sections anymore because of all the unreasonable hate she is getting - I don't get people who only watch a show for one OTP, and hate everything that they believe is in the way. We're all friendlies here, so let's just be friendly (and, regardless of the fact that my heart breaks for Mini and all that, I wouldn't be able to settle for ONE pairing. Which, I guess, is going to kind of be the point of this episode). 

A BACKSTREET VICAR. 

Nick's drunk already. I'm a bit sad that he didn't really get anything to do after his episode but there's always the next year. 

That's always a good idea. Mixing complicated emotions with drugs.  

AWWW. Franks. 

"A fucking glockenspiel from their bones and shit" LOL Nick.  

 THE WAY HE RUNS. LIKE A TINY PONY. 

 This is the first time ever in the history of Skins that I enjoy the triangle square of doom. 

SLIDE OFF ME, SWEATBOX. 
NICK NEEDS A CALM DOWN CUDDLE. 

Nick should always be drunk. I'll write a petition. 

It's not like Skins hasn't been flirting with the idea of a threesome since the first season, and... I don't know. I think the power balance is considerably less fucked up than it was with Sid, Tony and Michelle.  

And it is kind of like they've walked through a door into another world, into an adventure, and I guess eventually there will be a revelation that Franky's past matches Matty's, somehow?  

 Cause Matty knows that it won't solve anything? Or?

ERM ROODNESS. 
Mini is CHASING Franky. Literally. Oh Skins, with your grand love stories. 

Fuck, Liv, when did that happen? 
"And that girl will always be lost."

 I think Rich is reconsidering marriage. Don't pull a Xander, Rich. It never ends well. 

 FRIENDSHIPS. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THEM BEST. 

And Mini feels no need to pretend anymore. 

Banana, icu.  

It's like in her film. 
An environment slowly turning hostile and terrifying. 
I don't think that's the drugs though.  

Cliffhanger. Literally. OH WELL.  

Can they just all become adventurers and solvers of crime in the next season and travel the country in the van while having slightly complicated but never too dramatic relationship issues? I'd be fine with that.  

Grace's parents wear matching clothes. 

 FUCKING AWESOME MATES. 

tin man. hearts, hearts all over the place.  
What will I do without those lovely people for the next ten months. PERFECT. Everything.
