Trailer for the short film ‘Loss’. I choreographed this in collaboration with Amaya Alvarado. I also composed and produced the music. It is exploring the joy and grief of love those close to us, of losing those close to use. The voices in the recording our the grandmothers of Amaya and myself, within a year of their passings.

Please tell me someone has already done an AU where Haly's Circus saw how well Cirque du Soleil was doing and either sold Haly's to the larger Cirque du Soleil company or attempted to mimic the contemporary circus style bc crack downs on animal handling etc.

Please I'm begging

Horror is always rooted in the contemporary fears, particularly the fears of the creator. The Red Scare brought us Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, fears of rape and forced birth brought us Alien, and fears of casual racism brought us Get Out.

In this sense, I believe that the primary fear behind the psychological horror of The Amazing Digital Circus is fear of the commercialization of real humans to make everything corporate-friendly. I feel like this fear definitely reaches out to creators more than anyone, but overall it's a natural fear for anyone to have in our depressingly capitalistic society that values profits over human happiness.

Renouncing the throne would not set Wilhelm free

A question asked of those in the Young Royals fandom: Are you Team Monarchy or Team Abdication?

For those who wish to see Wilhelm fulfil his birthright, the desire comes from him being able to find peace with himself and thus the role, and setting an example by living as the first openly queer monarch in Swedish Royal history. That it denies August the position also helps this argument.

For those who wish to see Wilhelm renounce the thrown, the desire comes from wishing him to be free from the shackles of unasked for expectations, and emancipated from the pressure that crushes down on his wellbeing, his romantic relationship, and his ability to live a "normal" teen and adult life.

But here's the thing: Wilhelm is marked for life. Refusing to become King, and removing himself from all royal duties and the Crown itself, will not lead him to become a "normal" person.

There is a real world, contemporary example of a prince forsaking his duties and being no freer from the media circus that haunts him—Prince Harry of the British Royal Family. The details of his conflict and departure from his royal duties are widely publicised, no less than in his own autobiography. To be sure, the pressures and scrutiny he has faced growing up are horrific—least of all the media treatment of his mother's death—and the racialised aggression towards his wife is beyond disgusting. It makes total sense that he would want to remove himself and his own family from the shit show that is being a royal in the Internet Age.

But rather than give him and his family the peaceful life he seems to crave, the media fire has only intensified. How much of this is driven my him I can't say; but the point is, making an effort to step away form his expectations has not freed him.

And so, to Wilhelm. He can chose to renounce the thrown, and he can choose not to become King, but he will always, always, be Prince Wilhelm. Unless he were to completely cut himself off from society, run away into a forest and never be seen again, he will forever be marked as a Prince.

Wille has also stated that he actually likes the monarchy. Who would he even be outside of it? He can't just get a job in a bakery or be a bus driver. What would he do? How would he live?

What I want is for Wilhelm to be able to find peace with himself and his place in the world, and based on what we've seen in season 3, I don't think it's more likely that will come to him outside of the monarchy than within it. He is a young, troubled man who needs considerable help and support, and I don't think leaving the framework he's accustomed to—with all of the resources it provides—to walk into an even greater media fire will help him.

I want Wille to be happy and I want him to be free. But moving away from his family and birthright is not, for me, the answer.
