At first, without reading the text in your "what would young Kristina have worn?" post, I genuinely thought that was Wille's face photoshopped into Sara's photo. I call that good casting

It really is such good casting! Not only are they phenomenal actors, but they really do look alike, especially from certain angles! I have no problem imagining they're mother an son. Look at this:

buckle up it’s ball scene time (not that one, this one)

First thing Wille does is make Marcus comfortable, putting them on the same level.

He meets Simon’s eyes quickly but looks away as soon as he does— this conversation isn’t really about Simon himself, is it? It’s about Wille letting go of staring at Simon, willing him to look back, trying to send signals. The only signals he’s sending are okay. This [he] is what you want. I understand.

He’s doing everything he can to put Marcus at ease, complimenting him, (smart to dress as a waiter) being jokingly self-deprecating (these wigs hurt like hell // puffy pants aren’t your style?), making eye contact when he asks a question. These are royal manners, guys. It hurts to watch this because we know he’s not feeling how he’s acting at fucking all. He got to the ball with red eyes from crying, for fuck’s sake.

Back to the scene. Simon is confused— obviously we know all about how he’s feeling cause of epic analysis posts, but Wille cannot focus on him right now without breaking apart and we know that too.

This bit here I have so many thoughts about. He looks to Simon and asks if he would shoot with them— including him, but casually, as if no one there is aware of their history. This is almost disregarding the closeness they’ve had, for Marcus’s sake.

Look at Marcus, bro, motherfucker is probably thinking “he doesn’t know Simon like I do” and patting himself on the back for being such a stand-up guy.

This face and nod Wille does just screams “oh, my bad, I guess I don’t know him that well, he’s not even my boyfriend, he’s yours.” He 100% knew what Simon’s answer was going to be, and he only asked the question to get Marcus feeling even more comfortable and vindicated as Simon’s #1.

He asks Marcus to hand him a spoon and says something else about them dancing, Marcus specifically making himself comfortable at the ball, and sits down in the room with them. See how not a big deal this is? I can give you so much space, emotionally, I don’t even need to physically. I’m so fine with this, I’m so okay and distanced, I don’t even have to flee.

This entire interaction is about backing down, showing Marcus he’s backing down, showing Simon he’s backing down. And he did it fucking perfectly, performed down to the minutiae, read the room and wrote himself a script that worked because he knows how to do that and he’s better at it than it sometimes seems. Absolutely none of it was real, though.

You only see how hard it was for him to do that once they’re gone, when he leaves the party, when he’s alone and no one’s watching and it hurts. He can’t hide away for the rest of the night, he’s got to face the music. He's so strong and I wish he didn’t have to be.

Poor boy was not expecting a crowd

It also shows how everyone is interested in his life and wants to see what happens

watching young royals s2 using my campus' extremely fast wifi is unparalleled. only downside is that I have to act normal and not react while watching.

[halfway-to-houston]

I love how in s2 of Young Royals, Simon is kinda just doing his thing, living life, meanwhile every scene Wille is in, he's losing his shit over Simon and cannot stop thinking about him. Simon literally lives in his head rent free

[halfway-to-houston]

I just don't understand why I can't fall in love with [Marcus].

What does it say about August’s feelings for Sara that even with a gun to his head he wouldn’t throw her under the bus?
