matteo florenzi | silhouette (season 3)

Описание: matteo ♡

i don't really know how to start this off. ahhh, matteo florenzi. this boy. everything about him. i'm just in awe of how incredible of a character he is and how deep and incredibly leveled his development was over the course of this season. one of the most amazing things i experienced while watching season 3 live was the fandom immediately identifying with and seeing themselves in matteo. and even moreso, those who had no interest in seeing his season because he seemed like "one of those stoner kids" and then completely falling in love with the world through his eyes. i just can't say anything other than he is the most relatable main in the skamverse to soooo many people, especially mentally ill and lgbtq+ people, and i honestly thank druck and michi so much for that.

so this is an incredibly self-indulgent video based around his depression and anxiety. again, i can't even begin to explain how much it meant to me to be able to see his life daily from his perspective and just feel... so ridiculously understood and comforted. i love him so completely, it's really hard for me to put into words right now. and regardless of the fact that they never explicitly addressed it in words, i think matteo is one of the best representations of mental illness in media.

also uhh if you've been following my videos for a while now, you might remember i kept referring to a "whispers pt. 2" video that i've been wanting to make since literally last july. and so yeah. this is it. surprise :D

and like can we talk about michi for a second? the amount of emotional intelligence and understanding of the human psyche that was needed to pull off such a realistic and heart-wrenching portrayal of mental illness? he's incredible. i don't wanna hear any more nonsense about his acting.

but yeah this video is really special to me. i've been working on it for months and months (thinking about it for even longer). and it's really self-inserty because a lot of the stuff i highlighted in the video are things that i feel so strongly and again i am so so so eternally grateful to druck and matteo and michi for this. and i hope we learn more about matteo's mental state going forward.

okay i'm gonna stop cry rambling now. once again, thanks to my baby val for helping me out with this and for being my friend, i loved connecting to you even more through matteo and druck s3 and yeah this one's for you and for all the other lgbtq+ and mentally ill folk who also relate to this little gremlin

i hope you all enjoy ♡
