Obligatory Thursday Skins Post

I'm going to have to rename this tag AGAIN.


OKAY SO I'm just going to pretend that Mini was only kind of a bitch to Franky at the beginning of the series instead of a heinous bully, because that's the only way I can rationalise my RIDICULOUS LOVE for her this episode. Yes, that's right: I finally enjoyed an ep of gen 3. (And predictably, it was the one where the pretty girl gets woobified. I'm so easy.)

Also, really shipping Franky/Mini after that scene they shared. Obviously this is hugely problematic considering how awful Mini was to Franky - I don't think she deserves forgiveness just because she has insecurities of her own - but I can't help it. :(

I also started to like Liv this episode (I didn't really have an opinion before) even though it was awful of her to fuck Nick. So that's three whole characters I like now! I might end up liking Matty when we see a bit more of him, so it could go all the way up to four characters, but I think I've seen enough of Nick, Rich, Alo and Grace to be pretty sure they're not going to win me over. Still, it's finally starting to grow on me.

I'M SORRY I CAN'T HELP IT IF WE'RE BOTH AMAZINGLY RIGHT ALL THE TIME.

I FEEL LIKE MAYBE I SHOULD BE UPSET THAT I ACTUALLY MIGHT LIKE SKINS NOW, EXCEPT I'M JUST GLAD I MIGHT LIKE SKINS NOW.

G2 WILL STILL OWN MY HEART FOREVER AND EVER, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO STILL NOT HATE SKINS, REGARDLESS.

YES, THIS. GEN 2 WILL ALWAYS BE MY GEN, BUT IT'S JUST NICE TO WATCH AN EP OF GEN 3 AND NOT BE FILLED WITH BOREDOM/RAGE.

MTE SERIOUSLY.

AND I FEEL LIKE AT SOME POINT I MAY ACTUALLY WANT TO WRITE MORE G3 FIC, SO I FEEL BETTER ABOUT THAT NOW.

YOU SHOULD SO WRITE FRANKY/MINI. PRETTY SURE THE SHOW ISN'T GOING TO GO THERE SO I NEED FIC TO FILL THAT VOID.

WELL I ALREADY WROTE THEM ONCE SO OBVSLY I HAVE TO WRITE THEM AGAIN.

I HAVE A STRANGE DESIRE TO WRITE LIV/MINI/GRACE TO EXPLAIN WHY MINI AND GRACE STILL ~LOVE MINI EVEN THOUGH SHE'S A TOTAL CUNT.

You have no idea how loud I laughed at the last line of your comment. Also, re: the fic idea: write it, please?
