i think the most realistic thing in skam is that Magnus brings up that he made out with a girl who had a cat tongue one time and all his friends immediately call him catfucker for the rest of the show, the change the name of the group chat to “catfucker and friends,” magnus doomed himself to be catfucker for the rest of their friendship
GUYS THE ALERTS WERE ABOUT NOISES (thanks to @arthurbrousard anon for pointing out the subtitles colours which helped me connect the dots)
First we had purple noise (also known as violet noise) which
has a lot of power in high frequencies which is why it will be a lot more annoying to listen to it for a long time. However, the subtitles and filter in the photo look more pink and pink noise is said to sound “flat” and “even” and have a rhythm similar to heartbeat - just like the music that was playing in the club
Conversation subtitles were white and they can correspond to the grey noise which is used to test hearing. White noise on the other hand
serves as a blocker for other background noises and makes our brain diminish them and is used to
help people who suffer with tinnitus
Finally, when the beat dropped and something happened to Arthur’s hearing we had red subtitles. Red noise (also called Brownian noise)
may be associated with a mild underwater feeling, similar to the way your blood flow sounds when you put a seashell to your ear
There’s also a blue noise
which is a bit more straining to the ear because all the emphasized energy is in high frequencies
- and I don’t know about you but all the flashing lights were pretty straining to my eyes and the whole clip felt pretty overwhelming
Now if we go the other way around and look chronologically at how alerts were posted and how the colours correspond with the subtitles:
the red subtitles were in the moment everything has changed and the high pitch sound was annoying and constant, just like Basile
the purple ones were indicating a steady beat, something stable, something always there, just like Yann is always there for his friend
the grey/white ones were showing a conversation and if we assume that red = annoyance and purple = constant presence,then maybe grey = acceptance and maybe Lucas will be the person Arthur tells about his hearing problems first
One time, I had a dream that I was making peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and most of them were the regular measurements in cups and stuff. But at the end of the recipe, instead of saying “2.5 cups of chocolate chips” it said “627 chocolate chips.”
So when I woke up, I made some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. And instead of measuring out chocolate chips, I counted them (and suffered a lot of odd looks from my family for it).
Well, it turns out that 627 chocolate chips is the amount that the recipe called for (2.5 cups). Not only that, but 627 was the exact amount of chocolate chips that we had left in the house.
