Afortunadamente pude hacer que el logo de la camiseta de sid (S1 E8) se que no se ve tan bien pero hice mi mejor esfuerzo hice esto para que la gente que le guste esta camiseta de sid puedan hacerla ellos mismo o la puedan estampar, cuidense :)

I'm home for the holiday, ready to start my senior year but at the same time, I'm getting ready my teen drama script and I have already found actors ready for their parts, I just need a production company. But anyhow, I'm studying screenwriting of all sorts of shows, especially YA (since it's the genre I'm tackling the most). The most imposing shows I'm dissecting right now are The Sopranos, Buffy The Vampire Slayer (& Angel), Gilmore Girls, The Good Place, Veronica Mars, Ginny & Georgia (post season 1), Breaking Bad (& Better Call Saul) etc... I'm wondering, considering the importance of Skins of pop culture and teen drama writing, it's surprising that the father-son duo didn't do much after the show. I mean, when you look at showrunners of successful teen dramas, they often thrive afterwards :

- Beverly Hills, 90210 : After creating the show that has been a template for all the teen shows to come after, Darren Star went on to work on Melrose Place create Sex & The City (a show that still makes it on top greatest shows of all time) and then Younger (a less successul but long running show of 7 seasons) and then the awful but still successful show Emily In Paris. This man has left his print on the trashy TV content. The fact that he worked close to Aaron Spelling, who was Hollywood royalty at the time, probably helped a lot.

- My So-Called Life : After the way the show was acclaimed by the critics and hailed as Holzman's unique voice that changed the teen genre forever, Winnie Holzman went on to write for Broadway, which is huge and continued to create plays for theater that all received amazing reviews for their writing. And now, she's responsible for one of the biggest movies of our time : Wicked.

- Sabrina The Teenage Witch : After adapting the show and it being a success, Nell Scovell was a writer on multiple successful shows such as Charmed, The Simpsons and NCIS and wrote the book Lean In which had quite a good success and is still talked about (even tho not in the best light) and she is a writer on some of the biggest magazines ever such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine and Self.

- Buffy The Vampire Slayer : Obviously, Joss had a little boost as he comes from a respected family of screenwriters so success in the industry was a bit more secure for him and also he was respected as a script doctor before creating Buffy (as he worked on Alien and Toy Story especially) but it's after Buffy that people started praising Whedon for his vision and genius, creating in the same era two other very acclaimed shows : Angel and Firefly and then went on to a successful career of movies and shows, dominating a lot of the nerd culture and his dialogue (the Whedonesque dialogue) being cimented in pop culture for better or worse.

- Dawson's Creek : Well, I will say his big break came from how huge Scream became, with both critics and audiences and then his show Dawson just confirmed his innate ability to write YA contents that is smart and self aware, again his dialogue were very much specific to his work. He had pretty successful horror movies and then adapted another successful teen drama The Vampire Diaries (to skip that one, we also have Julie Plec and despite the fact that her writing sucks and she's the reason behind why the show fell off after season 3, she also had a steady career created shows left and right, granted a lot of them are flops but she managed to make two successful spin offs out of the TVD universe and adapated We Were Liars, terrible show but still addictive).

- Freaks and Geeks : After creating the show, Paul Feig saw his career blew up with writing on multiple successful shows like Mad Men , Arrested Developpement, The Office etc... He directed the Bridesmaids and continued to work and write and direct several successful projects. His writing and vision were praised , starting with Freaks and Geeks.

- Gilmore Girls : After creating the ultimate comfort show Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman Palladino was skyrocket to success. She was even proposed to write a Gossip Girl movie in 2004 starring Lindsay Lohan but the project was abandoned (and picked up years later but as a show). She created shows such as Bunheads and then The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, which was as critically acclaimed as Gilmore Girls. All the shows/movies she did had her trademark fast-paced dialogue full of pop culture references that became iconic on it's own.

- Smallville : After adapting the OG superhero coming of age show in 2001, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the pair were part of really huge blockbusters movies like Spider Man 2 or Hannah Montana The Movie, to name a few and continued to take part in TV, notably creating The Shannara Chronicles and Wednesday (the Netflix international hit directed by legend Tim Burton).

- Everwood : I guess this show wasn't as popular as the ones mentioned above, like it didn't have the critics attention of Gilmore Girls/Buffy or a passionate audience that much (even tho, I watched the show and the writing is really good). Anyway, it was still Greg Berlanti's big break. He created Jack & Bobby which was drawn in critical acclaim despite the low audience. He produced and wrote the show Brothers and Sisters that had the first same sex marriage on network TV. The man is praised for his vision and innovative ideas.

- The O.C. : After creating the OC, Josh Schwartz created a slew of TV shows in the same kinda style but it always worked : Gossip Girl, Chuck (a spy show tho but still incredible), Dynasty, Hart Of Dixie, The Carrie Diaries etc... (and is about to create another YA show on Prime Video, Sterling Point). While working with clichés, his writing somehow always clicks, he's truly masterful.

- One Tree Hill : While in the works of the One Tree Hill, he wrote multiple teen movies, even tho all of them were flops. In 2008, his creation of OTH was enough to be a top candidate to be creating a Melrose Place spin off, which is quite huge. He then created another TV show, The Royals, that had every ones of his trademark : slut shaming, fat shaming, cliché heteronormativity ideals and conservative ideas, while not having the depth and witty charm of the early years of On Tree Hill. Thank god his career ended with the allegations.

- Veronica Mars : While VM was not popular audience wise, it was darling critics wise, receiving praise from Buffy's creator Joss Whedon, author Stephen King etc... Which was enough to hail Rob Thomas as visionary and makes him a name in the industry, developping two particular TV shows that, despite not being huge in the mainstream, still were high in the critics eye and proved his screenwriting abilities : Party Down and iZombie.

- Friday Night Lights : With the show's critical acclaim (and the movie's both of which are considered some of the best sport-related media ever), Peter Berg was even more respected as a writer and director, which also goes for showrunner Jason Katims.

- H20 : Just Add Water : Even Jonathan M.Shiff thrived on the success of the show, created a spin off (Mako Mermaids) The Elephant Princess and another more recent magical show : The Bureau Of Magical Things. Basically, he's known for creating successful Australian kids/teen shows that are pretty well written and allow Australian actors to be successful. Even now, he's about to do movies in the same realm.

You got, I'm only going to do shows from BEFORE Skins because if not we will be here for hours but so why, in spite of Skins's international and critical success, Jamie and Bryan didn't go on to be more successful, like they didn't create on thing since Skins, I really tried to see but nope but I'm exciting about an upcoming show of Bryan Elsley called Counsels.

This is my first ever run of skins and I just finished 4x02. And I am most definitely not okay.

First of all, wtf Naomi? Like actually, wtf was that? 💀

It pains me because i friggin LOVED their storyline, I found it so realistic and so similar to my own experience as a 28 year old lesbian who only came out two years ago.

I mean I had just stopped laughing at how the Mexican hats and drinks were such a good example of a lesbian date, and by the end I was in a puddle of tears.

Never in my life had a show sent me from "yay, tequila!" to "I want to fucking die" in the same episode

And when Emily says "you ruined it, we were special" and you think that she's going to jump and you realize that if she jumped she would have been the second girl who killed herself for Naomi... Like that was too much for my brain to handle at once

Anyways, this is probably my favorite skins episode by far. Great storyline, great character buildup, great acting, great writing. I wish I could erase my memory just to experience what I felt when I saw it before for the first time because this episode just ruined every inch of rewatchability for the second generation.

Particularly in the earlier seasons - how do I “recreate” her wardrobe??

Hello, how are you? Well, I'm someone who has struggled with an eating disorder (anorexia) for years.

A while back, I decided to watch Skins, where Cassie is. To begin with, the person who wrote Cassie's character doesn't understand anything about the e.d....

I think that was a very generalized view, with far too many opinions on how Snorex actually works! Just as an example, she "goes all day without eating", That's a myth that's been debunked a long time ago... in fact, that's just one of several examples I could use.

I also think it gets worse when we remember that most of the fans are 12-year-old children who want to imitate everything they see. (This also applies to Effy, who I think they treat the part where she does drugs as a romanticization.)

Finally, The Eating disorders and drug use in the series sound like a major romanticization to me.

(PEOPLE, I AM NOT FLUENT IN ENGLISH! IF I EXPRESS MYSELF POORLY, IT'S THE TRANSLATOR'S FAULT!)

There's not a single mention of this in the show. In Season 7, Cassie mentioned traveling with her boyfriend, but it's not necessarily Sid.

Sorry for the 3 last one the quality is awfull

Haven't watched skins in years, i've been doing a few rewatches to study the show and i completely forgot about this cameo entirely holy shit!. So nice to here him use his Glasgow accent here esp as a fellow scot!!!.

Personally my favourite character in the entire series is Freddie, I know some people say he's boring but I don't really see that. He's a great boyfriend to Effy much better than Cook ever is.

If I get a few responses I'll make it into a tiktok with my thoughts to the opinions

They were unforgettable

i noticed one of the main complaints of gen 2 overall is that freddie is brutally boring, and i think one of his things his character needed (alike to gen 2 as a whole tbh) was more fluff. SOOO i wrote a one shot of a freddie unseen short !

i loved the unseens and while freddie's canon one is funny i think they needed to contextualize his relationship with katie more so this one shot is about them. i also think he needed to be more active and less reactive during his screentime. anyway this would take place between naomi and jj's episode in series 3.

lmk what you think. also if you enjoyed check out the skins au on the same profile, will update soon :3

You can see some new uploads in a playlist for America, but i don't think you can see everything. I read that the episode uploads were censored in the UK on the skins channel, so i decided to check it out. 1st thing i noticed was Tony's bed sheet being censored, and the neighbor in the widow.

No sé si a alguien más le pase, pero Skins se convirtió en una de esas series que se te quedan en la cabeza. No porque quiera copiar todo lo que hacen, sino porque pocas series logran hacer que sus personajes se sientan tan reales.

A veces me pongo a pensar que estaría chido vivir una vida como la de ellos, las fiestas, las amistades, los amores intensos, las aventuras, sentir que cada día pasa algo diferente. Pero al mismo tiempo la serie te recuerda que casi nada de eso termina bien. Hay infidelidades, drogas, alcohol, problemas familiares, ansiedad, depresión, pérdidas... y aun así siguen intentando encontrar su lugar. Creo que eso es lo que realmente representa Skins.

Mis personajes favoritos son Sid, Cassie, Effy y Freddie. Cada uno tiene algo con lo que, de una forma u otra, me identifico. No porque quiera cometer los mismos errores, sino porque entiendo muchas de las emociones que cargan. La forma en la que aman, se destruyen, intentan salir adelante o simplemente fingen que todo está bien. Se sienten humanos.

También me encanta esa vibra melancólica que tiene toda la serie. La música, la fotografía, los silencios... todo hace que quieras perderte un rato en ese mundo. Sí he pensado que estaría chido encontrar a alguien con esa misma energía, alguien con quien escuchar música, salir de noche, hablar de la vida durante horas y sentir que el mundo desaparece por un rato. Más por la conexión que por el caos.

Y si hay algo que de verdad me marcó fueron las amistades. Se pelean, se equivocan, se lastiman, pero cuando las cosas se ponen feas casi siempre terminan estando ahí. Ese tipo de amistad es muy difícil de encontrar.

Creo que por eso el fandom sigue tan vivo. Siempre hay alguien que encuentra un personaje con el que dice "ese soy yo". Y no porque sea perfecto, sino porque se siente entendido. Eso es lo bonito de Skins.

En resumen, Skins no es una serie para ver solo por las fiestas o el desmadre. Es una serie sobre crecer cuando nadie te enseña cómo hacerlo. Sobre equivocarte, sentir demasiado y tratar de encontrar quién eres. Si nunca la han visto, neta denle una oportunidad. Puede que no les cambie la vida, pero sí les deje algo en qué pensar.

to me this was one of the saddest tv deaths 🥀

Woww I just finished season 2 and was hoping for Anwar to change from the beginning on. After seeing the first scene of him praying I was like “oh he’s chill” but then he turned out to be a se.. addict and had no moral compass whatsoever. On top of that he dislikes his best friend for a while for being gay, even tho he was since he was little and Anwar just now came to the realisation that he doesn’t accept it. As if he came back to his senses on that topic but at the same time still drinks, smokes and does it with whatever girl agrees with it. His best friend got stalked and he didn’t take it serious at all, instead he started f.. with the stalker because she wanted it and even brought her to Michelle’s birthday, doing it while everyone else was there. He is such a ridiculous and stupid character with not a single positiv site. And I know this show is about messed up teens and all, but everyone had something likeable except Anwar. I just wish at the end, before joining max and his boyfriend he would have changed and become nicer as a person.

Now I know where all those pictures of them partying hard came from!

I know anwars dad doesn’t care about maxxie and we see that later on…but why did anwar suddenly become so aware that maxxie is gay when he’s always known??? I just don’t get that. Does he think he’s better because he’s thirsting over a woman???

Anwar just started acting differently after seeing maxxies drawing of a penis…. He’s so random to switch up on his best friend
