That Skins show again...

Feb 15, 2009 13:10

(Note: A comment from modernsaints made me realize that I completely failed to be clear in my efforts at pimping. Skins is a show that's been running for two years, but in s3, they almost completely replaced the cast, making it effectively a new show. So if you're interested in watching, you can just pick it up at #3.01.)

I've been capping random bits of Skins s3, but I haven't yet figured out how to put them together into a cohesive wallpaper. So, in lieu of fan art, a capspam. Yay.




"Sweet." I love how confused Cook looks in this scene. Or maybe he's just checking out Effy's tits. It's these kind ambiguities that make Skins. ;)



"Oh... we hate her." I love this scene. Also: Kaya is ridiculously beautiful.



Freddie is pretty and dumb. Pretty... dumb. (Sadly, my Photoshop mojo was not enough to completely remove his ORANGE GOATEE. But I tried.)



Jack O'Connell is weirdly attractive. (This will be a theme of this picspam...)



Preeeetty.



UGH. The way this scene was shot is unbelievably beautiful. Look at that beautifully-constructed... softcore porn of teenagers. /o\



I had forgotten that Cook propositioned Pandora in 3.02 and she replied, "You're beautiful, but my tuppence feels funny." Heh!



I love strangely-beautiful scenes shot in ostensibly-ugly urban locations. Swoon.



This will be the first of a series of caps of Cook looking angsty. It's a thing.



Is it obvious I Photoshopped the shit out of this cap for no reason? ... Yes? Okay then.





Angsty boyyys.

Side note: Capping can be an interesting way to get extra nuance from acting performances. In the case of Luke Pasqualino, I would hover over the Capture button, waiting for his facial expression to change subtly and it NEVER DID (ahahaha), whereas I could feel every second of Jack O'Connell's acting, even with the sound off.



Okay, this is pretty much the end of the angsty Cook caps. See, he kind of feels bad for beating the shit out of Mackenzie Crook. He's a psychopath with a heart!



Emily is pretty. And her fringe bugs me less at this angle.





Girlkissing!







Ahhh, my sociopathic OTP.



The LIGHT in this scene is gorgeous. Unfortunately, this cap is crappy. :(



Panda and Cookie = adoooorable!



I love that Effy is randomly wearing leather in this scene.




My commentary on these caps might just devolve into "pretty!" and "OTP!" Fair warning.



Pretty people standing in front of grafitti is my bulletproof kink. (See also: IAMX - Spit It Out video)



Ahahaha. I have Katie's (cream) top. It's from TopShop. /o\



Pretty!



OTP!



Pretty!



OTP! (...see what I mean?)



Ending on the best cap. I love the composition of this shot. Dammit, show, you robbed me of the inevitable Tony/Michelle/Sid threesome -- you'd better not also rob me of Freddie/Effy/Cook (OT3!).

Also, because I'm obsessive, I rewatched the "Coming up on Skins" preview from 3.01, frame-by-frame (…I KNOW /o\), and, while I am spoiler-free, it was pretty exciting to see the following:

Effy wears her hair in pigtails! :D!





Naomi and Cook make out (…have sex? It's Skins; they probably have sex)! Maaaan. Much as I love Emily/Naomi, I am especially excited about this. Skins is one of very few shows (the other one being, IDK, Hollyoaks? :/) that accepts bisexuality, including casual bisexuality, exists.

(Side note: LOL at Jack's tattoo. Stay classy.)





Bike rides! LESBIAN BIKE RIDES! \o/





Seriously, boys, if you're gonna stand that close during your altercation, you may as well just make out. Throw the fangirls a bone. (…Or something.)

To reiterate: don't spoil me for the specifics of the above scenes; I want to be (mostly) surprised. Feel free to squee with me, though. ;)
