Picspam: Skins: Sid/Cassie: Season One  
I recently watched the entire first season of Skins, mostly out of curiosity. I'd seen so many pispams and icons and stuff, and it got me interested in checking it out for myself. I liked it mostly, but I loooved Sid and Cassie. Like, crazy loved them. They're odd and quirky and I just fell in love. So, I did what I always do when I fall in love with a new show/character/pairing: I made a picspam. In this case, a big, long, fairly huge picspam.

It covers all of season one, so there are pretty much spoilers left, right, and center. I haven't watched season two yet, but it's on my to do list. Anyway, I hope you guys like it. :)







One of the things I love best about Cassie is that she's a bit bonkers. She gets less so later in the season, without losing that whimsy that makes her her. Sid is just so weirded out by her in the beginning...



...and yet he spends pretty much the whole party with her.



Does anyone else think there's a meaning behind Michelle standing between Cassie and Sid? Just me? Thought so.




I love the looks on her face. Her facial expressions in this scene are just fantastic.

And how much do I love this moment? So freaking much. They both just instinctively defend each other. Sid immediately says Cassie is doing better and Cassie spills water on Tony when he starts giving Sid a hard time. ♥


"Look up if you like me."
Classic moment. It's so cute. Plus I think Cassie looks incredibly beautiful in this scene.



I felt so bad for Cassie, thinking Sid was sending her messages trying to help her, and then being so darn sad when she finds out it wasn't him. :(


Again, poor Cassie. Sid is so oblivious it hurts.

Okay. So, this has nothing to do with Sid and Cassie, but I loved this moment and I couldn't resist.

Sid. Jeez, you're a freaking idiot.



"Wake up Sid."
Indeed Cassie. Indeed.



It feels weird to say that a scene where a character is trying to commit suicide is beautiful, but it is. I would love to be like "Sid you freaking idiot" and blame it on him, but Cassie had issues before this, so it's not all his fault for being so oblivious.


I love how mad Jal was at Sid, and how scared she was for Cassie. Jal was so great in this episode.

"She looks beautiful."
"She is beautiful."
"Yeah, she is."
Oh, Maxxie. As if I didn't love you enough already.





Finally.

One step forward, two steps back. I love that Sid told Michelle he was in the middle of something important, and the way Cassie smiled. Before it all went to hell again.

"Cassie, I'm shit with words everything always comes out so crap. But I've doing some thinking and everything is getting clearer. The thing is Cass, I've woken up this morning, and the sun's shining through the window and its making me think of you. Cassie it's not right you hiding away in that clinic you've got to get out in the world. Cassie I don't care if you think your odd, because I feel like singing when I see you, and your beautiful, and I've been such a fuckin' chapstick these past few weeks, and all I want to do this morning is sit on top of Brandon hill and hold you and tell you how wonderful you are, and I love you."
I loved what Sid wrote about Cassie. It was so beautiful (even the part about wanting to put his hand down her pants, I just loved his reaction to it). I loved that Sid realized he loved her just as Cassie was writing a letter to let him go.




"I love her."
I'm not a big Tony fan (like, at all), but I loved his reaction, him just being ready to help Sid. I liked Tony in the last two episodes more than I did the whole season.

Like when he gave Cassie Sid's letter.




Him sitting on the bus thinking about her. ♥ I love that shot of her jumping on the trampoline.



"Hi."
"Hi."
♥ ♥ ♥

They're pretty much my favorite things about the show. I love them like crazy. ♥

That suicide scene is beautiful. It feels weird to say so, but it is. And Sid and Cassie ending up there on that bench at the end of the season was a great bookend.

Thank you! :) The coloring tutorial by [info]mouthfullofdust that I linked is the one I use for all of my picspams and it's just wonderful.

Amanda: skins → cassie[info]isis2015 on May 8th, 2009 11:48 pm (UTC)
That's why I started watching it, because I was curious. It's a crazy show admittedly, but these two are my favorites by far (well, there are a few more characters I do love as well).

Sid/Cassie are love ♥ That scene at the end of the season is perfect, I was so happy when I realized that he had gone to find her there.

Great picspam!
Amanda: skins → sid and cassie[info]isis2015 on May 9th, 2009 12:35 am (UTC)
I have so much love for this ship, it's amazing. I loved how the season ended with them on that bench, after all the near-misses that night. Not to mention all the crap that happened before. I love these two to death. ♥

I felt the same way, which is why I gave the show a try. There are only 9 episodes in the first season, so it doesn't take that long to get through. But, OMG, the crazy. Sid and Cassie's relationship is probably my favorite part of the show.

Amanda: skins → cassie[info]isis2015 on May 9th, 2009 06:30 am (UTC)
She has great clothes, that's for sure. :) I felt so bad for her in that scene, though.

Amanda[info]isis2015 on May 10th, 2009 03:19 am (UTC)
Things always seem to come up to keep them apart, that's for sure.

I'm glad you liked this, thanks. :)

Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit.: skins - sid & cassie[info]expanding_soul on May 30th, 2009 04:58 pm (UTC)
hi! i moseyed on over here from your cassie/sid photo stuff from series 2

i never noticed in the first episode of series 1 that sid looks at his blunt like it's causing him to think cassie is totally insane (when, really, we know it's just how she is, but he doesnt know this yet). haha, do you see what i mean when you look at the photo again? in the scene where he's standing by the trampoline
i never realised that he did, indeed, spend the entire party with her, even though he was surprised by her behaviour. i love it.
i never noticed in her episode, too, of them both defending each other. i did notice that cassie purposedly spilt liquid on tony, but i didnt notice sid defending her. going to have to watch it again! :D
my boyfriend and i reckon that episode 1 was filmed kind of much earlier than the other episodes, mostly because of how cassie acts much more crazy than she does in episodes that follow. although maybe that's how she always acted before meeting sid, or maybe sid made her nervous. i never thought about it before now. cos in 'unseen skins', when she and michelle go to the wedding store, she seems totally fine. i'm rambling.

i never thought there was a reason for michelle to stand between sid and cassie. i thought just now though that maybe she doesn't want sid to get hurt by cassie, but i doubt michelle had ever thought that. maybe she's pissed off that sid is still a virgin? hahahahaha!

thank you for posting the facial expressions photos from the second episode. everyone in real life that i've introduced to 'skins' has said cassie is their favourite character, and of course i feel the same, and my boyfriend and i have discussed the fact that one of the reasons is because hannah murray (along with joseph dempsie) has the best facial expressions. she owns the character and gives her life that i doubt many other actresses could probably do. anyway, yeah, i absolutely love the many facial expressions of cassie.

haha, the whole relationship in both of the series is so painful. you really keep on thinking that the point will be reached that sid will wake up. and then he does, for a short bit, then he fucks it up again. and cassie never gives up in the majority of the first series, until the suicide attempt. ugh, too heartbreaking.
but i still love them so much. haha, i never have become one of those people who loves ships, but this one has broken down my walls - i love them so much.

the ending of series 1 is just so beautiful, though. just...haha, i guess she really doesn't give up even after the suicide attempt...and she gave him another chance. i loved it so much, the ending.

I love your piscpam. I immediatly love this two characters right from the beginning. Cassie and I have so much in common (yeah, really) and Sid is the "right" guy if I can say that.
I like the way you manage the pictures together and I agree: the suicide scene is gorgeous even if it's sad and tragic.

thank you so much again! Now I'm meming this one! ;)

For some reason I like these two a lot better in S1 than in S2 but that might be because I liked everything better in S1. But yeeeez - this is so amazing. thank you much! you did a great job!
Amanda: cassie → eat[info]isis2015 on April 2nd, 2010 07:52 pm (UTC)
I agree with you, I prefer nearly everything in season one to season two (with the exception of Tony, whom I hated in season one and adored in season two). :D I'm glad you liked this, thanks. Looking at it again brought back memories.
