#soooo much symbolism and significance w these two

[prncewilhelm]

can’t stop thinking about the significance of wille wearing erik’s watch during their first time together after the video (ok, i know that sounds weird but hang with me). after they’re together for the first time in season one, we see wille put the watch on afterwards (out of shot on the screen, but it’s still there and implied). the watch we know is symbolic of erik and wille gets it after he dies to symbolise him taking the role of the crown prince, taking erik’s place. the fact he puts it on after the two of them are together in season one, shows that their relationship and his role as the crown prince are separate. the fact he wears it in season 2 during their time together, shows that his role as crown prince and their relationship now exists as one. there’s no separation.
