# There are probably gonna be 9839384839 CE videos to this song after series 7, so I might as well just go with the flow. There's another CE video with this song by Dazzleme7, way better than mine, so go check it out :P You should all expect so many Skins videos from me for now on. Vale, baby, this is for you. Not yet your original late birthday gift, but it's a gift, and it's all for you, and I really hope you enjoy it and that it doesn't bring you so much pain - just general CE pain and a bit of hope. I love you, amore mio! You know you have my heart on your sleeve.

# Oh, Cook and Effy. My babies, so grown up... We all knew they wouldn't interact - yet I felt they were always kind of lost, like they didn't know what to do, looking for something that they didn't know how to reach. And that something in my opinion was each other; I think that both Fire and Rise's writing was supposed to make us feel like Cook and Effy would never be home without each other. And that's why I - knowing that Skins would have an open ending - am 100% sure that they will find each other one day, and be together. They'd both seen death. They'd both seen it all. They'd both tried faking yet... But now it's so clear. She doesn't need someone that makes her believe she's good at something; she's fucking Effy Stonem, she's not supposed to hold it all together, she's supposed to be brave. Her smile in the end against all odds made it very clear to me. She's ready for him now.

As for Cook, in his words: "you also think you know life. you stand on the edge of things and watch it go by, but you're not living it. not really. you're just a tourist. a ghost. then you see it. really see it. and it gets under your skin and lives inside you. and there's no escape. there's nothing to be done." / any chances he's not talking about his signal and how he's finally embracing that he cannot escape it (what he would of course do after Freddie's death), and that he's going to look for her?

# It's very clear to me after series 7 (which I loved by the way, even though I wanted to see Freddie mentioned as well, even though I hated that Naomi was sick, even though I wanted JJ to show up, even though I wanted Tony to be there -- Pure was one of my favorites actually because it aknowledged the past like neither Fire nor Rise did), that Cook and Effy are the greatest love story of Skins. AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY ABOUT IT.

# No, I also have to say that I really really really loved Emma and was devastated that she died (SHE WAS SO GOOD FOR HIM OKAY) and I hated Charlie with the fire of a thousand suns so I'm so glad they didn't end up together and that he was like NO BITCH YOU AIN'T GETTING MORE COOK. okay thanks. oh! and old creepy Freddie look-a-like that Effy dated was creepy. Dom was my choice.
