What do you think Cassie’s favorite color would be?

On her e4 profile, she says that she likes “colors of the heart”- yellow, orange, red, and pink.

what music did cassie listen to / would listen to?

On her e4 profile she says: “I like David Bowie – space odditty, wow. The Cure. Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, Emmy The Great, Joanna Newsom (she sounds like an elf, she plays the harp. She’s the closest to magical a human can be). Hot Chip (for dancing dancing dancing!)”

We also see that she likes rap, particularly Ludacris, in her Series 1 episode.

I think in general she likes music and musicians that have an interesting, sort of strange quality about them.

Miss you and your posts :(

I'm still here! People don't message me very often on this blog, so I don't post as often. I'm also more active on my other blog, Uncloseted/Effy's Closet if you want to come hang out :)

Do you think Cassie has humanitarian beliefs , or do you think she's become too jaded by the end of Pure?

I think Cassie has always wanted people to love her more than she has actually cared about other people, and so even when she does good things for them, it's kind of self-serving. I think at the end of Pure, she finally learns through looking after her brother what it's like to love someone without any expectation of how they'll treat her. Because of that, she's matured to the point where I think she could become someone who actually has very humanitarian beliefs and really does work to improve the lives of others.

Do you think Cassie would like Kaiwai things or the kaiwai aesthetic?

I do! On her e4 profile, she says that, "I like foreign packaging on snack foods. And Japanese toys," "I’ll go to Japan and take photos of all the beautiful sushi. What an album that would make!," and "My favourite book is Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto," so she seems to like Japanese culture in general at the very least.

Doesn't Cassie wear jeans for a scene in or around Chris' episode in season 2? I swear I remember seeing her wear a pair prior to Pure

You're right! She wears them in series 2, episode 9 once she gets to New York.

could you see cassie studying graphics at university since she loves very pretty things and she’d find it fun to design shapes and texts and images all day long?

Maybe! But I feel like the show implies that she was planning to study an academic subject at university, probably philosophy.

Would you say Cassie is messy and unorganised

The opposite, I think. We know that she organises and tidies to feel in control of her environment.

Hi, do you know what Cassie wears under the yellow jumper in s1e5? If not, what do you think she would wear to match it?

I think it's a knit shirt, so she's probably not wearing anything under it? If she is wearing something under it, it's probably a base layer, like a sleeveless undershirt or plain long sleeve shirt.

Do you think cassie would like to wear jeans?

We never see her wear jeans in the original run of the show (although she does wear them a lot in Pure). Cassie doesn’t seem to like pants in general, and jeans can be a particularly restrictive material that I don’t think she’d like.

How long have you been on this blog and when was the peak of it?

I've had it since July 25, 2013, so just over 9 years now! I think the peak was probably 2014/2015.

Was Cassie a failing student? If she was then maybe I don’t have to feel so bad that I’m not doing very well in school 😭

I don't think so? She did well enough on her GCSEs to move on to A-Levels, and unlike Chris or Sid, she's never threatened with expulsion or being held back a year because of her grades. Plus, I've read that early drafts of the script had her going to Cambridge University (the same as her actress, Hannah Murray), which means she would have had to get A*AA grades on her A-levels. So I think she was at least pulling Cs in her classes in series 1.

But in any case, it's totally okay to not be doing very well in school. School is hard. There are lots of things that can impact your grades, even if you're super smart and capable. Struggling in school isn't something you should be made to feel bad about or ashamed about. It just means that maybe you need to take a different approach or to figure out what's making things difficult for you.

do you think Cassie would like K-pop?

I could see her liking the community aspect of k-pop, but I also think she might find it triggering because there's often a big emphasis on thinness and diets when it comes to female k-pop stars.

Was Cassie in hospital for her ED. Cause it was stated that she was in hospital before hand for suicide attempt but they never really say if she was in hospital for her ED. All we know was that she was in a clinic ( they always say it’s a clinic ). If so then was it outpatient or inpatient?

Before the start of series 1, she was in the hospital for a suicide attempt ("They let her out. She's just not allowed to handle knives") in addition to her eating disorder. Once she's released from the inpatient program she was in, she starts attending an outpatient program for her eating disorder at the clinic. 102 is her last day of that program, where she says that, "they'll sign me off if I've gained a half kilo." Then in 105, she has another suicide attempt and is put back into the inpatient program, where she stays until she leaves for Elgin.

Do you know of any other active Cassie (or just Skins in general) centered accounts? Not necessarily on tumblr

I actually don't know of any. Does anyone else have recommendations?

[cassies-closet]

Would you say Cassie is more extroverted or introverted? She seems more extroverted in S1 and maybe in the very beginning of S2, then she becomes really introverted, especially in Pure. I know it's normal for people to ebb and flow like that, but which do you think she truly is deep down?

It’s kind of hard to tell because of her mental illness, but I think Cassie is a very friendly introvert who needs attention and validation from other people. She seems to enjoy the company of herself and to not need other people around her and spends a lot of time in her own imagination, but she greatly craves someone who will love her and understand her and does a lot to try and get people to fill that position for her.

do u think Cassie would use social media like Instagram or Tiktok and post anything? i can see her just using Tumblr and a blog with maybe Facebook and Discord too but i don’t think she would like other platforms like Twitter, etc

I do! I think she'd like visual sites, like Tumblr, TikTok, and Instagram, where she can post beautiful things that she sees in her day to day life.
