Skins - Naoms ♥ Ems #860: Love really can conquer anything, if you're brave enough to fight for it

THE 860TH Emily & Naomi RELATIONSHIP THREAD

A STORY ABOUT TWO PEOPLE IN LOVE.

Naomi Campbell and Emily Fitch. Mrs and Mrs Campbell. Their story begins with once upon a time and ends with they lived happily ever after. They've loved each other since they were twelve years old, and though it was love at first sight, they were both too scared to tell each other how they felt. So Naomi ran and Emily chased. Emily saw something in Naomi that no one else did and that was what made her keep loving and chasing Naomi after so many years. And no matter how hard Naomi tried to deny her feelings or how fast or far she ran, she always ended up back with Emily.

They were each others' first and last kisses and each others' first and only loves. It was only when Naomi stopped running that they could become something. It was only when Emily took a chance and kissed Naomi again, that their story really began. Emily kissed Naomi and Naomi ran again, but not for long, because she realized that her feelings weren't something that could be pushed aside and ignored. They made love by a lake, held hand through a cat-flap, kissed breathlessly against the lockers, and laid their souls bare at the Love Ball.

But that wasn't the end. Emily kept giving and Naomi kept taking, until they tore each other apart. Emily became the runner and Naomi, the chaser. And again they stripped each other of everything until nothing was left but love. Real, true love. Their journey had been perilous and heartbreaking and more than they could bear at times, but it was all worth it in the end. They couldn't have gotten there -- the end, where their story both ended and began anew -- without the journey.

And so, heartfelt declarations aside, they'll love each other forever. Soulmates. Lobsters.

I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSER THAN MOST, BECAUSE
you are my heaven ;

PM Emma to be added to the list.

095. Because Emily saw something in Naomi no one else did.
096. Because they make each other laugh.
097. Because they couldn't let go, no matter what.
098. Because they've loved each other since they were twelve.
099. Because Naomi would die for Emily.
100. Because they had their happy ending.

The third series of Skins was the beginning of Naomily. They had a history, of course, but it was that one look across a crowded room that set things in motion. Naomi wasn't happy to see that Emily was attending the same college as her, but it didn't stop her from hanging around with Emily at every opportunity. Naomi was hot and cold this series; she'd pull Emily towards her only to push her away again when things got to be too much. But Emily saw something inside of Naomi and knew that Naomi felt the same, and so she kept on running after Naomi. And then they held hands through a cat-flap and everything changed. From a kiss shared at a pyjama party, to making love beside a lake, to declarations of love at the college ball, and walking off into the proverbial sunset.

THE moments

#1 | Naomi, 306

Emily: I can see it now, in lights: Naomi, get to know me.
Naomi: I thought it was quite catchy.
Emily: Yeah, well, so's AIDS.
Naomi: Do you think I can do it?
Emily: I think you can do anything.

#2 | Naomi, 306

Naomi: Can we go somewhere? Anywhere.

#3 | Naomi, 306

Emily: Do you want to do blowbacks?
Naomi: I never got blowbacks. Why can't people just smoke the damn thing straight?
Emily: It's fun. Have you even tried it?
Naomi: No. But, being all-seeing, I already know it's s**t.
Emily: Come on, everything once.

#4 | Naomi, 306

Naomi: Say something.
Emily: I'm all about experiments, me.

#5 | Naomi, 306

Emily: I know you, Naomi. I know you're lonely. I think you need somebody
to want you. Well, I do want you. So, be brave. And want me back.

#6 | Naomi, 306

Naomi: I do want someone -- need someone. You were right.
Emily: And?
Naomi: And, when I'm with you, I feel like I'm a better person. I feel happier,
less ... alone. Less lonely. But it's not that simple, is it? Being with someone.
Emily: Isn't it?
Naomi: No. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't think so.
Can't we just sit like this? For a bit?
Emily: Yeah, we can. For a bit.

#7 | Effy, 308

JJ: You girls like to wriggle, don't you?

#8 | Katie & Emily, 309

Naomi: Let's just be friends, okay?
Emily: We say that, don't we?
Naomi: Yeah. Have a good summer.
Emily: I'll miss you.
Naomi: I can't stand it. I can't.

#9 | Katie & Emily, 309

Naomi: Don't do that ...
Emily: No, you don't do that. I'm not your fcking experiment! ... I'm tired --
so sick and tired of it. We're still holding hands through a cat-flap, aren't we?

#10 | Katie & Emily, 309

Emily: I like girls. No, I like a girl. No. I love her. I love ... her.

why we love emily & naomi :
Why do we love Emily and Naomi? It's pretty easy to see why: they're made for each other. They've loved each other since they were both twelve years old, and while the journey was never easy, they never gave up and they never stopped loving each other, no matter what. Naomi and Emily are unique in the world of Skins, because the hugeness of their love is just so profound. Every time they tried to break apart, they just came back together again, bound even tighter than before. Their love is unrivaled in the Skins universe; there is no other couple that can compare.

And that doesn't just apply to the Skins universe. There is no other lesbian couple in the history of television that has had a story and love as great as theirs -- they rank among one of the most epic love stories of all time in any world, ever. They have made people believe that there is someone out there for them, made them realize that being gay is not only normal and okay, but that gay couples are just like heterosexual couples. And gay couples and characters, just like in real life, can be happy. Emily and Naomi have given strength to countless people, encouraging them to be open and honest. To just be themselves. No other couple can make that sort of claim.

Emily and Naomi love each other, so we love them. They bring out the best in each other, and even if their romance hasn't always been lovely and sweet, they've always managed to endure the rough spots and come out as a stronger couple than before. Naomi gives Emily confidence and Emily lets Naomi be herself. They support each other, they are each others' shadows; it's easy to see why they're so in love. They're beautiful together, and that's why we love them.

why we love lily & kathryn :
LilyKat -- they're the actresses who made Emily and Naomi as epic as they were. Kathryn Prescott (Emily) and Lily Loveless (Naomi) originally met at drama school together and then three years later found themselves in Skins, playing best friends and lovers. Kathryn and Lily are best mates; they spent most of their time on set together and frequently attend events together. They're as awesome as their fictional counterparts. Kathryn has said that Lily knows her the best and Lily has said that Kathryn is the one she gets along with best. Naomi and Emily could not have been nearly as great without Lily and Kathryn.

Kathryn and Lily are of course the biggest shippers of Naomi and Emily. When Naomi cheated in Series Four, Kathryn and Lily actually had arguments about it. They genuinely care about their characters and their fans, and it really shows. They've both said that they love their characters and are glad that Naomi and Emily's story was so groundbreaking; they are happy that the story they told made people feel comfortable about themselves and love and sexuality. Neither of them can see anyone else playing their characters, and neither can we.

Emily and Naomi spend their summer in a state of loved-up bliss, but things start to go downhill quickly as the second year of college comes around. Emily discovers Naomi's infidelity and their relationship falls into a state of complete disarray. Naomi vows to make it up to Emily, but Emily, who's heartbroken, doesn't know how to forgive Naomi and let them move forward as a couple. They spend most of the fourth series tearing each other apart, but Naomi finally comes to her senses and realizes she's got to fight for the girl she loves. The two get their second happy ending, and this time it's for forever.

Naomi: Fck it! If it's rubbish, we'll just go back to ours.

Naomi: I love someone.

#6 | Katie, 404

Emily: Naomi, darling, got any of your special powder?

THE soundtrack

DISC 1 DOWNLOAD | DISC 2 DOWNLOAD

the beginning of a most epic romance.
It's panic and it's desire and it's anger and it's terror and it's sorrow and it's impossible,
impossible hope, and I'm only talking about this very second; not the whole story that
extends at the same time into the past and future in ways neither Naomi or Emily or you
or I can even understand yet.
― HEATHER HOGAN, AFTERELLEN

naomi asks emily to make her believe.
But Emily breaks the rules of love. She holds out her arms and opens her hands
and promises you don't have to earn it, promises you don't have to strive for it. It's
there: the biggest love in the world. A love you can never exhaust. A love you can never
repay. Naomi is a moonbeam and Emily is lightning. Naomi is frost and Emily is fire.
― HEATHER HOGAN, AFTERELLEN

i knew they would find a way.
I wanted to say in one image that they have just had the best summer of their lives.
― ED HIME, WRITER

yes, it is enduring love.
This series was basically Emily and Naomi beating the crap out of each other nearly the
whole time. They were bloody and bruised but saying I still love you. It's beautiful to know
that as a couple you have been tested in that way and come through it.
― ED HIME, WRITER

you're my ally sheedy.
And then there is Naomi. She said one thing so loud and so long that she convinced everyone
around her it was true, except the person she wanted to believe it most. Naomi pretended,
back then, that Emily was saying, I want you, I want you, but what she was saying was,
I see you. The wanting: yes, of course -- but that was the effect. Naomi didn't lack the desire;
she lacked the courage. And now we know why.
― HEATHER HOGAN, AFTERELLEN

again, the contrast, their perfect fit.
They'd be married and travelling the world, because that's what they'd want to do.

eliph · 06-18-2010, 05:17 PM

If Rob haven't kept quite and told Jenna about the cheating. She'd go all "I told you so" on Emily making a bad situation unbearable.
So that was very thoughtful of him, he might be a bit naive but he's not dumb

Skinsfan · 06-18-2010, 05:20 PM

Rob knows Jenna so he knew she would be like she was in the pool scene. Insensitive and petty with "I knew she'd screw you up". So Rob wasn't going to let Jenna make Emily hurt more than she was already.

It was also a good idea not to tell Katie as she would have also carried on and that wouldn't have helped Emily. Rob knew Naomily belonged together and he knew mistakes could be made even when you adore that person, so they are worth a second chance.
