File:Isi & Sascha - Start Again -+7x10-

I've only started & caught up with Season 7 a few days ago but I still read reactions and opinions on tumblr while new clips would come out and I saw a lot of negative opinions on it which surprised me as soon as I caught up and watched it. Then again, I was able to watch the first 9 Episodes in One Go that way and didn't have to wait several days, being all frustrated, for a new clip, so I guess that's why I personally don't have any negative feelings towards this season. Plus, I actually felt like there was a reason why Isi was so infatuated(?) with Lou, considering they always felt so different and like she didn't fit in anywhere and were actually really insecure, so meeting someone like Lou with a "IDGAF Attitude" who is super confident, made Isi feel really good probably. In the end I also really adored their friendship.

I'm glad that Isi decided to distance himself from Konstantin but I also hope Konstantin gets some therapy and works on his own mental health.

I think this Season was the first that did the Childhood Friends to Lovers Trope in the whole SkamVerse if I am not mistaken? And they did an excellent job, since it felt just super natural between Sascha & Isi and it didn't feel like anything really changed between them as soon as they got together except that they now kissed, and that's realistic and how it's supposed to be. They are already comfortable around each other and know everything about each other, they don't need time to get to know each other first haha.

Sascha is the human version of a golden retriever and if I had to describe what a comfort character feels like, I would show them Sascha because he just radiates comfort.

I also really love Isi and what a complex character she is. They aren't perfect, he made many mistakes, but I still adore them because after all, we all make mistakes and learn from them.

Like most people, I enjoyed the second half of the Season the most, because it focused more on Isi's journey on figuring out their gender identity and with which pronouns he feels the most comfortable with. (Still wish they would've focused on that a bit more, maybe Isi talking more about her body dysphoria considering they heard that word for the first time from David and after, it just didn't get mentioned again. It obviously got portrayed in scenes where they had trouble breathing or he took off his earrings etc. but I wish Isi would've talked about that with another non-binary / trans person to make sense of things and feel understood. I'm guessing he will continue joining that queer youth group and talk about it with others but only off screen, which is unfortunate. )

The scene between her and her little brother on the football field made me cry and I can just applaud that brother's actor, because he's so young and still did an incredible and convincing job acting.

Can I just say I rewatched all of the scenes Isi was dancing in several times? Those were just really feel-good scenes that made you smile because they were so freeing, and Isi was finally themself.

(Also can we talk about that final scene and the tension between Isi & Nora, and Isi & Yara??? I thought they were gonna kiss, it was so intense and they had great chemistry. I'm sorry Sascha, you're my number 1 I swear and you deserve the whole world and an incredible partner, but for a few seconds I was distracted by the chemistry between Isi and the Girls haha)

Both Paul and Eren are incredibly beautiful but the amount of gender envy I felt while watching Eren was unreal haha. :,)

I hope you liked this edit! I might make another Druck edit focused on just Isi, their gender identity, and the problems they had to face along the way.

Name of the Show and the Songname is in the end of the edit. :)
