deleting dating apps and finding love the old-fashioned way (i’m a blond european prince who falls in love with a you, a guy that his (traditional) ruler and head of his family deems unfit for said love. I continue to defy this ruler for you, and create a love story that is so powerful that everyone who meets us can just sense it, usually before even we could, at the beginning. you have dark hair and are seen as an outcast by most other people in our (high) society. you also has a secret/are more than meets the eye.)

Wilhelm stopping Simon from punching August after Simon Finds Out: if you do it, he’s just going to have more ammo to use against you.

Wilhelm, rolling up his sleeves: but if i do it, it is justice directly from the crown

I am seeing wayyy to much Simon Eriksson hate recently. Y'all act like someone didn't have any right to be upset with wille. WE saw Willes confrontation with his parents in season 1, we see Willes pain every time he messes something up with Simon, We see the extent of the pressure wille is under to a greater extent. SIMON DOES NOT SEE ANY OF THAT. Like yes we know wille was backed into a corner and that's why he denied the video but to Simon it looks like Wille told him he was gonna admit it, didn't, and then immediately after was like "but we can still date it just needs to be a secret". Literally anyone would be upset by that.

You ever think about how much easier Simon and Wille's relationship would be if they communicated

It's true there are external factors keeping them apart but (and I say this with love) how much time did we spend going around and around with "you don't understand" "no you don't understand" "it's not easy for me" "it's not easy for me either" but now it her of them actually know anything about the other bc the straight up never explain. Simon says "it feels like you just brushed off the video like he's faced no problems" bc from the outside that's exactly what it looks like. it DOES seem like willes brushed it off and faced no consequences bc Simon doesn't get any of the scenes we get. He doesn't get a great explanation of really anything. And Wille doesn't get great explanations for everything either. But if they talked stuff out productively we wouldn't have drama.

Finally ththere's more understanding in the Reading/lit class scene(which I love, also no way ppl don't realize they're in love with each other)

You're on your own, kid is so Simon-coded

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I waited ages to see you live

I searched the party of better bodies (parties full of rich ppl he'll never be like)

Just to learn that you never cared(how it could've felt when Wilhelm denied them)

The jokes weren't funny( he has to deal with ppls treatment of him, he can't afford to get in trouble), I took the money(selling to august)

My friends from home don't know what to say(when he punches august and his friends are disappointed/after Wilhelm denies him)

I looked around in a blood-soaked gown

And I saw something they can't take away

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned(what's gonna happen with Sara, could be argued what happened with wille)

Take the moment and taste it(whole relationship with Wilhelm)

Everything you lose is a step you take(then end he loses Wilhelm but he stands up for himself and something is on his terms)

So make the friendship bracelets

You're on your own, kid(alone in a school of ppl who don't like him, who've seen his sex tape, he has Sara but she knew about august and didn't tell him)

You've got no reason to be afraid

Yeah, you can face this

You're on your own, kid

You always have been

Listen to The Very First Night by Taylor Swift and tell me it doesn't remind you of Wilhelm and Simon from Young Royals "I wish I could fly I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time" "Not tryin' to fall in love, but we did like children runnin' Back then we didn't know we were built to fall apart We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts" "But don't forget about the night out in L.A. Danced in the kitchen, chased me down through the hallway No one knows about the words that we whispered No one knows how much I miss you"

I JUST-

so as you do, i was listening to taylor swift and there's this line in cruel summer which is like 'i dont wanna keep secrets just to keep you' and i was like holy shiT that is literally simon in that scene except remarkably less upbeat
