YOUNG ROYALS 3.06

Your “happy birthday, Simon” fic is so so well-written. You portray the characters and their voices so well. Especially Wille with how he might get some things wrong but how he tries so hard (we love to see the emotional growth) and Micke with how he clearly loves his kids but he never quite gets it right (he could’ve at least sent Simon a guitar pick instead of just money). I really loved it.

I know I'm a gazillion days late, but this is so sweet, thank you for taking the time to write this. I'm so glad you thought the voices were believable, it was something I'm really trying hard at and hope I get better at. And yess I want so many of my fics to focus on Wille's emotional growth now that he's free. As well as explore the dynamic with Micke/Simon more, because we did not see that at all past season 1! I LOVE the guitar pick idea, do you mind if I shelve that away to potentially use in some form later??

Ok, I surprisingly got a few asks about this? I didn't realize this was much of a discussion on here. I don't have much faith in the YR fandom's activism/morals to be honest. I know people will think of delusional responses, but I'm gonna be assume those asks were sent in good faith. I'll only speak on this once in this way, no I will not be watching the new movie that some of YR cast is in, because I will be partaking in the boycott due to the director's/cast's actions. I'll just attach a thread from twitter on here that explained everything better than I can. It addresses a lot of arguments about "he's not a zionist, he's a journalist", omar's "silence" being "as bad" (it's not but even if they were...why would you support them lol, this isn't about celebrities?). It also addresses the importance of boycotts like this, and how zionism comes in many forms. I'll also attach a thread of a convo I had. I guess I'll go by what I said in my tweets, if you guys want me to dig up screenshots you can dm me, and I can try, but really our focus should be on Palestine. Boycott to show solidarity if you choose, but regardless please remember this is a real genocide. It is about holding people accountable, but it is not about defending or hating celebrities. Please spread resources, take your activism beyond just the internet. Since I'm planning on being more active on here, I'll be sharing some links. Also lastly, I don't really care if this gets me any hate lol, but to be clear, this isn't me hating on anyone and it's weird if you take it this way. I'm assuming people asked in good faith, so I'm spreading a way to show solidarity. This is my decision because of what Palestinian advocates have said- people can make up their own mind. But yeah, I won't be posting about that movie, this blog is going to be about young royals/my fics as of now. That's all! Free Palestine.

For the YR fic requests, could you please write a fic where they are both in college or in their early twenties? Maybe something with a conversation between Linda and Wille?

yessss!- sorry I'm so late! I'm kind of planning on writing an enemies to lover fics where they'll be in this age range...but I'm also considering writing a one shot based on this request. Do you have any other specific things you'd want out of it? Any plot points? Any preferences for what the convo between Wille and Linda should be about?

YOUNG ROYALS Season 3 Episode 2

I'm back bitches, back and ready to write

A letter to Simon Eriksson (and Omar Rudberg),

I knew I was going to write this at some point after Young Royals ended, but I've been putting it off because a) it'd make me emotional and b) I wouldn't be able to do justice to how I feel with words...but after the cast's goodbye video, here goes.

I am so, so, so grateful Simon Eriksson exists. Few characters have taken such a deep spot in my heart, but Simon is on that top tier of characters that I will always love so deeply. He is very important, not just to me, but I honestly believe his character existing is important for the media/world in general.

While I only recently started being more active in the fandom, I watched Young Royals just around when it first aired in 2021. What inspired me to watch the show was a clip online. It was Simon's iconic scene in the first episode where he says the monarchy is the country's biggest welfare receiver. And I was instantly hooked! Not just because I was absolutely shook at how beautiful Simon was, but also because of his personality that shined through. Brave, strong, defiant, and independent in the face of all the bullies. Simon is a phenomenal character period, but for him to also be a queer POC makes him even more special because we don't see it often on screen.

When I started actually watching the show, I got even more attached to Simon than I thought possible. The audience witnessed how loving, compassionate, and driven Simon was. I loved how we saw Simon's bravery in different ways throughout Young Royals. He was brave as he kept forgiving people and giving them second chances. He was brave because he kept his heart open to love even after being hurt. He was brave to put himself first when he needed to, even in the face of the royal family. He was brave to stick to his values in the face of all the exhausting bullying and archaic traditions of Hillerska. He was a snarky teenager but also mature beyond his years. He learned how to love others without losing himself. Seeing Simon be such a complex character and good human being made me fall in love with him.

Omar, I'm in awe at this being your first acting job. You are a natural, talented, and hardworking artist in every sense of the word. You have not only excelled and singing and performing, but acting too. Simon is Simon is because of you. You brought such heart and lovability to the character, as well as your beautiful voice. It is also clear that your compassion and empathy, which you were able to use to understand/play Simon as artfully and earnestly as you did, comes from your own experiences and your own identity. You're brave too, for daring to be yourself unapologetically. You've helped so many people.

Thank you to all the cast and crew as well, who played a primary role in making all the characters and this show into what it was. Your role doesn't get highlighted all the time, but you deserve much more credit for the acting, the characters, the ambience, and all the creative choices in Young Royals than audiences realize.

I'll love Simon Eriksson always. We'll keep making fan content and loving this show, thank you for trusting us with Simon now.

Love,

Brekkie

My first tumblr fic request for @manateia-seriallove, "Happy Birthday, Simon" is done! I had so much fun writing this.

"I mean, he'll twist your nuts off if you do that."

"What?"

"Okay fine, Simon won't because he's too nice and won't want to make you feel bad, but I will. Because you and I both know he'll be unhappy with it, even if he doesn't say anything about it."

Summary:

Wilhelm tries to find the perfect present for Simon's birthday and the gang throws a surprise party for Simon. Tumblr fic request which was meant to be a cute fluffy one shot, but it turned into this whole thing. Also some insight into how the gang spent their summers post-season 3.

Send me any fic requests you may have! I'd love to write for them.
