I’ve just finished watching Young Royals and I swear if there is no season 2 I will hurt someone, most likely myself with tears but thats beside the point. I need season 2 like now please.
sometimes I will look at this hug and wonder if he knew. if he knew that it was going to be the last time he would be able to hold simon like that and actually have simon hold him back. if he knew that he had to deny the video no matter how much he begged and tried to compromise. if he knew that no matter what he did he would let simon down and just wanted to bask in the happy moments he would have left before it would all be taken away from him. i wonder if he knew.
it’s interesting to me to see just how quick people are to assume that the new character will be a new love interest to either simon or wilhelm when that really doesn’t have to be the case. all we know about the new character is that he will be a reoccurring character and that he is a guy their age but that could literally be anything. even if he would be a new love interest doesn’t mean he would be simon or wilhelm’s. it could be for felice, or for sara, perhaps even august, we don’t know. it could be an old friend, a new classmate, anything. though simon and wilhelm’s story are a main part of the plot doesn’t mean it’s the only one and he might not have anything to do with any of it. it isn’t just simon and wilhelm’s story. usually, based on other shows i’ve watched, a love triangles and cheating storylines tend to occur when writers doesn’t really have a clear vision of where they want their story to go so they add another love interest to create drama and conflict when they don’t know what else to do to. however, lisa gives a clear impression of knowing exactly what story she wants to tell and therefore for her to turn to such an easy-solve that a love triangle often is doesn’t feel likely at all. don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying we can completely disregard the idea but the relationship between simon and wilhelm has enough stakes to it as it is. it wouldn’t be relevant for them to add another factor to it to keep that story interesting, it already is on it’s own. i feel like a lot of people tend to read into it and get scared because edvin and omar mention that they want more drama as if they know something we don’t but i don’t think it has to be that deep. they are actors and very dramatic scenes are often the funniest ones for actors to play out so for an actor to want to play those types of scenes isn’t weird or has to mean anything. it however seem to make people fear for the worst when that isn’t necessary. in my personal opinion it would make the most sense for the new character to be someone like an old friend of wilhelm’s. someone that wilhelm reaches out to in his loneliness after everything has fallen apart for him. someone that could give wilhelm perspective on the whole situation from the outside looking in while simultaneously give insight to us as viewers to the person wilhelm was before hillerska and before simon. all this while still being someone wilhelm would have enough trust in to open up. but that’s just what i think but i have faith in lisa that it will be great no matter what.
I will take the pieces, put them back together Even when the grass isn’t green enough Taking all the branches, build ourselves a mansion Love you in the way that you needed love.
There is just something in the way he says “Yes, please.” that’s absolutely sending me, like it has a hint of happiness in it. As if he was just happy in that moment because Simon wasn’t pushing him away despite being noticeably annoyed with him. He was just so content in knowing Simon was there regardless something he probably wasn’t used to at all.
listen, i love how the announcement was purple as if the blue that represented wilhelm’s royal status and the red of the school and his second life there, not to mention the color of love now is merged. like he won’t separate the two anymore.
The scene where Wilhelm screaming to August. I can’t watch it like.. i feel something about it, it’s full of emotion and i hate it (not in a bad way). It reminds me of one time that i got mad to people (underclassmen) who bothering my brother ‘till he cried and i scream like literally in front of everyone :// i scream exactly the same way like Wilhelm did, full of emotion.
That’s why i can’t watch that scene, my heart remembers the feeling, the scene really caught me, it brings my feeling at that time back to my current state of emotion (which is more stable than at that time) and i feel so embarrassed cuz there were so many people (and plus I’m an overthinker). I was too emotional, and Wilhelm too. We’re teenagers after all, we can’t control our emotions, we can but not that good yet, especially when it involved our beloved person, it feels so real, the feeling (even tho i hate it)! Hands down best acting Edvin!
Another reason why Young Royals is the best series!
LITERALLY FELT THE SAME FEELING; ANXIOUS. I stopped reading/watching both at the exact position bcs i get so anxious and continue like about 3 days-a week later. It’s hard to deal with my anxiety:/
A scene where Wille and Simon are in Wille’s dorm, it’s night and Simon can’t fall asleep. He rolls around, still held in Wille’s arms like how they laid before Wille fell asleep. Simon smiles to himself and after a bit of hesitation, he gently hovers his index over Wille’s face, delicately tracing his cheek. His eyes wander, taking in the state of peace Wille is in. Earlier, the pads of his fingers smoothed the creases across Wille’s forehead, before sleep naturally took care of the rest. Simon knows now that he has to learn that he can’t fix everything, no matter how much he desires for this rare calm to be forever etched on Wille’s features.
In the quietness of the room, his heart unravels itself, having been caged for so long and now finally feeling safe to act without a thought on the unfathomable amount of longing there’s for the boy beside him. “I think you’re fast asleep. I watched you sleep two times, now three, it’s not much but I think I can tell. But just in case, blink if you aren’t,” Simon whispers, his tone is light and playful as if his heart isn’t racing in his ribcage from the fear and the anticipation of being on the edge of being poured out. A second, two, three, four, five, six, seven, pass by and when he’s met with no reaction, only soft puffs of breath, he softly begins, “I trust you, but if you aren’t sleeping then pretend you’re, okay?… I haven’t said it yet and you might already know it, because I’m here again. But you deserve to hear it still- shit I’m contradicting myself here, sorry.” He lets out a nervous chuckle. There’s no way now Wille isn’t awake, however still his index gently slides across the bridge of Wille’s nose as he proceeds, “I love you too. I love you so much, I really do, Wille. I wanted to say it back, I just couldn’t… I didn’t think it would change anything, what was the point of saying it when we couldn’t even be with each other the way we both deserve? It would just somehow hurt more than it already did. I just spent Christmas break and the two weeks after being miserable and hoping you knew somehow how I feel, hoping that in those couple of weeks of us being whatever we were, I made you feel loved enough to know I love you without me having to outrightly say it. I'm… I’m going to try to sleep now, if you heard this, kiss me three times when you wake up so I know. If you didn’t, I’ll say it again tomorrow. I don’t think I can hold it in anymore, I love you so much.”
