#druck next gen

[kiyoitiepie]

ugh ok i just wanna get my thoughts out bc i literally feel like im about to explode. 

one. no i didn’t read the book. no i didn’t watch the movie so idc about accuracy or retelling. i honestly don’t think those things are necessary to tell a good story. coming from a place of fandom and fanworks, some of the funnest adaptations are the ones that take a different route. like druck. 

two. ima need them to break up. im struggling to grapple with how this relationship exists in a vampire context. like if they are spending eternity together does that mean that anything that can happen between them will happen? even if that includes love, abuse, marriage and separation. like how bad does bad have to get for them in order for us to actually classify it as bad. bc this is feeling pretty bad to me. but like a vampire fight where they know they’re both going to heal? is that still bad? i feel like yes.

three! louis stresses me out but we love an unreliable narrator so ONWARD. i     feel     so      bad for him. i also feel like him being black adds so much interesting and fucked up nuance. i think that’s why it’s so jarring and fun to watch as a black person. like i keep thinking about claudia telling louis that they are lestat’s slaves????? he escaped one thinly veiled form of oppression to go into another one?!!! fuck man.... like he’s not just black he’s creole. his family owned a plantation. so he has this power that affords him many pleasures in life. he gets to hang around all those big time white guys and pretend he’s one of them. but at any moment if he steps out of line it can easily be taken away from him. as we saw the night of the riot. it was a reminder. a violent one. and now if we look at louis and lestat they are in love. like louis said “he has a way about him”. they live together and have a kid and dance and sing and....    but he has to pretend he’s the help when they go to the opera. even louis’ family calls him big daddy lestat or whatever the fuck. because louis is a pet. at any point he deigns to fall out of line. lestat comes back with a “i heard your hearts dancing” or a near death experience. and they too are violent reminders. “i’ve given you this position”. “i put you on this earth.” and both of these actions can be easily reversed.

so excited for the next episode tho! gen

I just finished skam italia season 5 today and...... surprisingly i love it so much!!! I think from all of the original season that we got from the remakes, it deserve to be put on top 3 after druck's nora and skamfr's lola.

The whole thing about elia's body insecurity is makes a lotttttttt of sense. It may seems simple, but honestly penis size always become a great deal among boys and a lot of teenager experience it. It also feel refreshing because this kind of theme never got explored in another skam.

I also love how they potray how elia still can't get over his mother's death and despise his father for having a new relationship. I mean, I know it's not fair for his father, but it's always hurt most how the people that you expect would be in as much pain as yours slowly moved on.

I also really love how they handle the friendship dynamics between the whole cast. Contrabbandieri always be my favorite version from all of the boy squad, and it super clear that they learn a lot of thing from martino's problem in season 2. They notice elia is down? They immediately ask him why. They notice that luca is uncomfortable? They immediately say sorry.

And not only the dynamics within contrabbandieri, but also the dynamics between the whole group. Elia x fede bonding, elia x le matte heart-to-heart moment, elia x fillipo roommate bonding, elia x niccoló moment we've never thought about before, le matte's internal friendship, the fact that they also never forget to include rose squad everytime they having a party.

And!!!! we even get the contrabbandieri x villa boy moment that we've been waiting since season 1 (the fact that netflix once again bringing chicco rodi and mention rocco martucci because we obsessed with them is so funny lmao). I also surprisingly love viola and all of her friend. I love how similar they're to le matte in season 1, asia definitely stood out to me.

AND ONE THING THAT I'M SOOOOO GRATEFUL FOR is how sana mention that malik would convert back to Islam, and it's not for her, but because he find a great imam and finally believing in Allah again. I LOVE THIS MOMENT SO MUCH!!! We never got sana x practising muslim in any other version, so this moment got me in tears 😭

ALSO! The whole spera thing is a really massive plot twist. Butttt, I kinda like it. It show us that sometimes the person that you supposedly trust the most (he is a teacher + counselor, he is supposed to be one of the people that you should trust the most) could be a horrible person, a pedophile.

The final scene when le matte closing their radio is also an emotional thing for me, it kinda look like they saying goodbye and passing the torch to the next gen, I mean it's fine by me if they decide to have a next season with a next gen, but it just don't feel the same......

The only 'meh' thing I found in this season is the car crash. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE HECK all of the remakes seems super obsessed with car crash?! 😭 It didn't give any depth to the story itself. And also the moment in the finale when elia suddenly ready to have sex with viola? Right after he talk about it to the new school counselor. It just feel too rushed out.....

ANYWAY, I honestly love this season. The friendship is amazing, the storyline is good, the cinematography is top notch, i also love the effort of bringing almost all of the characters from season 1 - 4 (It would be perfect if we could see ele and incantava moment for the last time though), and the acting!!!! especially from francesco is super good, he definitely one of the best actor in skamverse. This season feels just like any other season of skam italia, and I honestly need to see more of them, maybe please give us another season netflix? 🤞

Part 4 “I’ll Be Fine”: Talk about Popculture, Druck and Gen Z Popkultur Festival Berlin 2022, wednesday 24.08.2022 with Eren M. Güvercin, Nhung Hoang, Naomi Bechert (social media team during s5 – s6, writer of s7 and s8) Moderated by Aidan Riebensahm Aidan & Naomi: (are having a long talk about how the series they watched in their youth were very different from Druck, mentioning OC California and 90210. Explaining that many millennials also enjoy watching Druck because they never had this kind of content when they grew up. Aidan mentioned that the Kieutou love story filled a lot of blank spaces for her, regarding queer representation.) Nhungi: One of the people in the audience was a writer of s6. (audience cheering) Uhm…what was the question? Aidan: I just wanted to say that I found it cool to watch that. (laughs) Nhungi: I also found it cool to play it. Especially for s6 it was important to me that this story is told the right way. And I was just very lucky. Sira is an awesome partner with whom I played it and we supported each other a lot and gave a lot of input. And we paid attention to small things. We call it the queer female gaze. That you pay attention to small things like hands or short glances. Like you said “blank spaces” which are not existing in a hetero normative style of filming. It was paid attention too very lovingly…in the scripts. (short silence) Eren: was that a question? (I assume the moderator looked at her) Aidan: I forgot what I wanted to ask. I was still so lost in…..how is the couple called? Eren: Kieutou. Kieutou! Aidan: That was my question. (laughs) Eren: So I was actually voting for “Fakieu”. I even was active in the comments and tried to manipulate it. Nhungi: He is the biggest stan. Aidan: using fake accounts for the youtube comments. Nhungi: “what, you said something against Kieutou?!” impersonating an angry Eren. (everyone laughs) Eren: I am really number one stan in Germany. Nhungi: Eren even stood at the set like “what happens now? Are they kissing, are they kissing?” Eren: 80% of the comments of the Fatou season where mine. Aidan: It really moved me in a good and sad way because I realized I never saw a couple with which I could identify in a german series before. But also the diversity in Druck does not lead to any structural changes. I also thought about the season in which you (Eren) played the mainrole and the title of todays talk kind of fits “I`ll be fine”. Yeah ok, I don´t think everything is solved with this but if I would have watched this content at a younger age a lot of processes would not have happened so late. But will you be fine? Eren: Well… Aidan: Let´s unpack. Eren: I don´t know I think this is one of the hardest questions that you can ask especially in the current time. I think its valid. Uhm I only know that at the moment there are so many things in this world that we need to pay attention too. Every generation has the bad luck that you don´t get born into a world that was made for you. And of course we also pave the way for the next generation but I find it difficult to have an impression of our generation, if there even is any. Because I have to think about climate change when I hear this question or about Ukraine and Russia or about many other conflicts like with the Uyghurs or Palestine/Israel. Now I just throw in all political conflicts that exist. Aidan: You are becoming the Internet right now. You are just showing all conflicts and bring then into one space. Eren: Yes exactly. But I don´t know. I don´t know. Nhungi: Well, when we spoke about the topic before this talk. I was like “ok, isn´t this a bit cynical?” because we are…. No we are not fine right now. And that’s somehow ok and just now when Eren spoke I thought, we have to try to navigate our own world. What moves me and what do I put my focus on? Because if we just absorb everything without filters then you quickly get depressed. And I answer to the question with: Yes we`ll be fine as long as we keep moving. And yeah trying to change things. Eren: I think optimism is very important at the moment. Not as a attitude but as a form of activism against the pessimism which kind of carries us all. Aidan: (talking about why pessimism can also give you strength because there is potential in saying “no its not good.”) Eren: I don´t mean that there is no validity to be pessimistic. I don´t want to start a general discussion about if this is ok or not. But I think its just very important to have hope in difficult times and even if you don´t have it, to fight for it. And especially if you are in a position where so many people listen to you. I know this from myself. Sometimes I don´t know how to handle it that so many people are following me on IG or are interested in me. I find it very weird to see that and to deal with it. I don´t want to use this the wrong way and make all of them think what I think, because then it would be very depressing. Then my account would only be black. I just know I definitely want to give positive energy and not in a pathetic way by saying “oh have a good life”. Nhungi: Not in a hedonistic way “we are all gonna die anyway” but trying to find something positive and getting your strength out of that. Because honestly, we could say everyday “ok life is shitty” there is climate change and this conflict and that one and everything is going to hell. But then we lose ourselves in this ugly nihilism where nothing makes sense. Instead we can say “shit, nothing makes sense, then I will just make the best out of it.” Eren: But I am asking myself if this is only our generation or if it was like that in the ´68s too. Nhungi: I don´t know... (apparently both looking at Aidan lol) Aidan: (pretents to be offended) you don´t have to ask me that! (everyone laughs) Eren: ok, ok, not your generation, I`m sorry. But I mean atomic wars were not unfamiliar to you. (short silence and then everyone is bursting into laughter). Nhungi: Eren! Eren: I mean you also have experienced things when you were young. Nhungi: the Great Depression?  (everyone laughs again and Eren added “I tried to save myself”) Aidan: What I can say is that that the older I get, the more relative time becomes. Eren it´s totally ok, its ok. I prepared myself for feeling very old after this panel today. So its fine. Eren: sorry. Aidan: No, no, no, no. I think I am in phase of my life now which aims at slowing down. I don’t spend much time on the internet. I have downloaded tiktok after finishing my master thesis. But I have a 15 minutes timer for the app. (talks about arriving in the “now” and slowing down)

Hiii!! I saw your tags on the video I shared and by watching the video I also remembered how stupid and loveable druck boy squad was!!! I truly miss the days when we were watching the og druck generation…the boy squad’s talk did not make sense half the time and they were so funny but nice too. they had their weird and original dynamic. it was just a whole other feeling following the og gen both watching it and being on here while watching it

Guten Morgen,

right? Watching og gen of druck was something else. I remember all of it so well. I remember Hanna's season and the awkward wait are we canceled already in like week 3 when the hiatus happened? I remember crying when they broke up and crying when Hanna and Leonie talked. I remember watching Mia's season while I was still on Erasmus. I remember how we were constantly impressed by the cinematography. I remember people gradually starting to like Alex to their own surprise since they hate Wilhelm. I remember how they changed Jonas x Hanna's story in s2 where he was the one to be messed up by the break up. I remember the first appearance of beanie boy. And I remember the week between s2 and s3 when the theories were running wild. I remember how we've all fallen into Matteo's season, for the boy squad (fucking Kathete discussion?) how we've fallen for beanie boy David. I remember the epic highs and epic lows. I remember how much we were all discussing and analysing and criticising every single clip. I remember how quickly we started calling the boy squad the one braincell squad and how we started calling ourselves clowns. I remember how much we were rooting for Jonas and Hanna to get back together goddammit. I remember how hurt we all felt when the David outing happened. But I also remember the epic high of the last episode of Matteo's season. I remember when in Ich check' Frauen nicht the one braincell squad has reached its peak stupidity. Truly the most stupid boys and yet so so so lovable. All of them. I remember how we all thought it's over but then the insta content just kept coming and coming and they kept posting days after and then we got the special and learned about the existence of Stefan and how much we instantly hated him because he's come between our Hanna and Jonas. I remember how we were all convinced that Essam was nonbinary because of his insta bio. How we were thinking everyone is queer the second they appeared. And then we got Amira's season and I remember how we've fallen for Mohammed instantly. I remember how much we were loving Amira's summer season and were gushing over her beauty, how we loved the changes they made to the storyline while also still criticizing it some things. And I remember how quickly Amira's season was over and then Druck did the worst decision ever and has the two episodes dedicated to Mia and Hanna and how angry we were and how we were boycotting Mia's episode completely (I actually still haven't seen it) and decided to have Amira's appreciation weeks instead. But by the time Hanna's episode came about we've come to somewhat accept it and thought we might at least get some Hanna x Jonas reunion out of it. How we all expected the stolen nose to make a comeback and how much we were happy when it did. I remember the last week where the speculation of what comes next were at it's wildest. I remember Lukas' instagram posts and tweets adding to the confusion. And I remember the fan event of course. Meeting our awkward druck gang. The bis bald message only adding to our confusion. Seeing the cast few meters from me. How the first question asked by the audience was immediately why the fuck would you make Amira's season shorter?  How I almost missed my bus back because I was still standing in line to meet the cast. Theo ending up in my photo with Lukas and the others lol. I remember Hussein having a One Piece tshirt and how excited I was about that. Oh the epic high of that evening even as we were all angry about Amira's season being short still.  I just I remember it all. I don't participate in fandoms often because most of the time the fandoms are not like that. Most of the time, I don't feel like I know everyone in the fandom. I don't feel like people want to have actual discussions about the topics the shows bringing up. Most fandoms I feel don't have that proper communal feeling I only got from skam's s3 and start of s4 and from druck's fandom during the og gen.

Sorry this is just a wall of text. I just have such fond memories of the time.

#druck #should I tag this? #it'll end up in the tag #I don't know if people in the tag care about my wall of text of memories lol :D

[na-klar]

The only good part about finn randomly being close with mailin is that we also get to immediately spend a lot of time getting to know him and like … finally. Mailin should become besties with yara next lol

Also idk if the druck team confirmed this was the last season with this gen but is anyone else getting the vibe that mailin might be getting the amira treatment? Idk the plot just seems to be developing super fast and idk if it has enough substance for the full 10 episodes. (I would kill to have a nora/fatou pov episode. But also if isi gets screen time at the end I feel like it would only be to make up w constant pain)

i wish this could've been finn's season, i'd love to know more about him and his family and it would also make sense bc then we'd have 2 cashqueens and 2 instas seasons. like i wouldn't even mind mailin being his li, i just want to see more of him. not to mention all the josh and finn best friends goodness we're missing out on

they never openly confirmed that this is the last season but they created playlists named "druck generation 1 (s1-4)" and "druck generation 2 (s5-8)" so it's safe to assume this is going to be the last season, at least for this generation

and also i feel like we all want mailin to get the amira treatment like i'd do everything for another nora or fatou episode 😭 idc about isi so they can keep that but if they get one i want it to be about isi's gender identity, like i just want to hear the other characters use all pronouns for isi and not just he/him like they've done so far in the show

Around the end of season 7, I was upset about how it went, upset that it ended, and confused about what to want for the future. Here’s a bit from the first post:

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” — bet, I’m sad because season 7 is over AND because of the way that it went 😅

This time around, though, I’m not sad that the season is over — like a number of people, I’ve been thinking “end already” for a few weeks — but that this generation is, and the ending made me emotional. But for the show, an ending is for the best, as is, I suppose, the fact that I valued it way less for months before that ending because of how much it declined 😅 How much more would it hurt to part with DRUCK if we weren’t separated from Nora and Fatou’s seasons by over a year and two of DRUCK’s worst seasons, but instead an awesome Ava and Isi seasons were added on, for example?

Lots of people were upset with the change to a new generation and especially the way it was announced, but I bet the reason many of them gave it a shot is because until then, DRUCK was a good show! If DRUCK does a third gen, though, they’ll be changing to a cast viewers don’t care about yet AND their recent seasons won’t recommend them. A bunch of people left in the past few months with this familiar gen — how many will stick around for another?

I’m realizing the chances of that crowd including me are no higher than the show becoming good again. So unless I somehow get into SKAM Italia or France, this is almost certainly the end of my SKAMverse, predominantly-DRUCK era 🙁 As someone wrote at the end of season 4, I think, which I quote occasionally, “it’s been real, it’s been good, it hasn’t been real good.”

I’ll be around for at least a few days, given I have a bunch of season 7 and 8 posts to reblog and a handful of other things in my drafts. Maybe in the not-so-distant future, I’ll want to post along with other shows, and rebrand as an account for those 🙂 Heartstopper and Our Flag Means Death hold my passion right now, so maybe their next seasons 🤗

Thoughts on Clip 1 of Mailin’s season:

Okay I have to admit: I wasn’t really looking forward to this clip or her season in general.

However I’m actually really happy about this clip. As a demisexual who’s never been in a relationship, it was crazy how much I was able to relate to her. Sitting there while your friends talk about something you have no experience of (and maybe also don’t feel the need for) can make you feel really stupid or awkward, like there’s something wrong with you.

Hopefully they go the route of showing her somewhere on the asexual spectrum as I crave the representation so much (especially in german television!)

Also I have to mention the Cashqueens! Loved especially Nora’s and Ava’s looks!

Okay

1) sad that isi took all the praise for making the shelves when he didn’t. It’s like that one kid who does nothing in a group project but they is the one taking all the credit for the way it turned out

2) and I like Lou and all, I just don’t want a love triangle. Like I just don’t want it, don’t need it, my anxiety can’t handle it. I just a want a clear story. And I just want isi and Sasha together. Because the whole “I’ve been in front of you the whole time” is poetic cinema to me

3) stop making Sasha so sad ISI!!

4) Sasha and Ava friendship is something I didn’t know I needed but something I really want now

[visionaxry]

it just makes sense

1. eva = nora

both form a new friend group after they’re rejected by their former friends (+ get out of a relationship)

2. noora = fatou

the closest friend of the first season main character. both fall in love with a mean popular kid.

3. isak = ismail

a character outside of the main girl friend group.

4. sana = ava

the bold, outspoken friend of the group, who used to be bullied, and is badly perceived by (some) audience.

Nobody likes ismail? You don‘t have to. But i can relate to ismail. It has been a hot minute since I have been 17, but I wasn‘t perfect at all. I was kind of a bad person a lot of the times (not excusing it at all) I drank to much and such, I used people, I cheated on people, I was loud and outgoing, brush and insensitive. All while having feelings, which I tried very hard to suppress, so that I would‘t appear weak. While being extremely confused and under a lot of pressure. Idk but that is the realm in which people exist. And a show can show life like it exists, good and bad. I relate to ismail. And I think more people than would like to admit can maybe too.

A part of me feels sad and dissapointed about how s8 has developed so far and I know I should just stop following it and move on. But the other part of me still feels very emotionally attached to the idea of what this gen of Druck promised us to be during s5 and s6 (partly s7 too) and I am scared of missing out on the last chance to follow a season life, clip by clip and post by post.  I am realizing that we are already in week 6 and not only does the fandom feel half dead but also it becomes clear that even if the next weeks would be surprisingly good and well written (haha) it is too late now to turn this season around completly. The only spark of hope that still remains is that there might be one more or multiple POVs in the last week(s).  I feel tired and disillusioned after thinking over and over again: “ok maaaybe they will go in this direction with the plot and then it all will make sense.” or “maybe there will be a twist like that...” and then nothing really happening except of the most obvious things.  Yes it still cheers me up whenever I see IG content of Sascha, Isi or my other favorite characters <3 and I will also continue to share my excitement about any crumb I get of them here on tumblr.  But at the same time I feel like I am slowly falling out of love with this generation of Druck and seeing how its all ending now, it makes it even harder to enjoy re-watching the previous seasons.  Maybe I am just having a bad day (or a few) but I wanted to share my thoughts, just in case some of you feel similar and can relate.
