absolutely GOBSMACKED thinking about how different the tone of the show will be in season 3??? Wilhelm isn’t gonna go five SECONDS without kissing Simon in public and holding his hand to classes. Simon is gonna refuse to talk to Sara and Felice will have to decide whether or not to forgive her and August is gonna be in a pile of shit and the press is gonna be going crazy and the QUEEN oh my god what is she gonna do and we still have to worry about the drugs and I’m--

Why can't these three always be this soft and peaceful (everybody's life would be so much easier)

OK OK BUT THE WILLE AND AUGUST SCENE IN THE PALACE

LIKE THAT WAS TRUE CLOSURE IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. AND I LOVED HOW HE SAID THANK YOU INSTEAD OF I FORGIVE YOU

BECAUSE HE COULD NEVER FORGIVE HIM

BUT HE CAN MOVE ON

KILL ME NOW I CANT WITH THIS

My fellow gayss we did ittt😭 I don't fucking care if that's unrealistic ending they will be happyyy and free😭 till the end I held my breath but noww we wonn

It is an August thoughts kinda day, because can we talk about August becoming crown prince. August who seems to have just as much anxiety about life as Wilhem has, August who still probably hasn't fully dealt with the suicide of his father, August who has a full on eating disorder that during that conversation only got a knowelage by Simon, August who needed ADHD medication even though he doesnt seem to have it to get through the day, August who seems to have no one really by his side.

Like don't get me wrong August seems to want to be the crown prince, he has taken pride in being next in line in a way Wilhem never has. He might even be a good crown prince with how well he seems to do with the headmaster and like at those fancy dinner meeting things. But if this man doesn't get help, if the crown is as neglectfull of his mental issues as they were of Wilhem his mental issues then this guy is going to work himself to death. His ED might get worse, he might need more medication for things he doesnt have.

So even now the cycle continues, the whole idea of "But you cant choose your path" still is here because like Wilhem knows, being next in line and being the crown prince are two very different things. Like ye Young Royals has a happy ending but in my mind also not fully.

young royals poll 3

[tiredmoonslut]

Okay I’ve got my thoughts together now, and honestly, Young Royals season 2 is a prime example of how consistency makes for a much better story than shock value, or surface-level drama. Season 2 was literally packed to the rafters with angst and teen drama--but not a single bit of it felt contrived or over-the-top, because it was a completely natural progression of what the first season established. Every character made mistakes, or did things that had unexpected ripple effects--but the choices were consistent with their characterization, and it made the entire story cohesive. 

Wilhelm gets aggressive when upset---especially so when it involves Simon, so him pulling a fucking rifle on August doesn’t seem out of place, as hugely dramatic as it is. Sara is neurodivergent and has issues with expressing herself the way she intends---so her lies and secrecy don’t read as uncharacteristically villainous or vindictive, despite how negatively it affects the people around her. August is human, and capable of things like kindness and affection, but he’s always been self-serving and manipulative, so his actions this season don’t confuse the storyline. The writers behind YR are clearly interested in telling an actual, organic story that develops naturally--and doesn’t rely on shock reveals and sensationalist plotlines to tell that story. It’s really incredible, and the soundtrack, score, cinematography, and amazing actors just pull it all together. I can’t wait for Season 3.

August is such a flawed character, but the way he is written and the way he is portrayed by Malte Gårdinger is incredible, I can’t help but feel a little bad for him. But then he does something so dickish and I’m like yup, asshole is back and hate him all over again.

If Kristina after everything she's been through has the right to have a breakdown and its understandable; so did Willie. Nothing was too harsh at all. Like your opinion but did we watch the same thing? She was neither good boss to Willie or a mother. I'm not saying that losing Erik wasn't painful or she isn't human ; yet she didn't even give Willie a proper chance to mourn and now after a breakdown she gets to take a break and once again everything falls on willies shoulder?she is but Willie after everything definitely had the right to breakdown; since he couldn't take it anymore. It really bothers me that people are really on Kristina's side while completely disregarding Willie .

[smollandkindaannoyed]

I see and hear so many people going "I can relate to Simon", "I defently am like Wille", "I can see myself in Felice"

But here I have to dit with the knowelage that I can't say those things cause if we talk about "Which character in Young Royals are you?" I will have to say August.

I will have to talk about my obsessive need to be liked by everyone around me, talk about how I put a shit ton of my self worth on the school I go to even though I am failing right now, talk about the ED and other mental illnesses I also didnt want to admit to having. I will have to talk about how I have this idea of what love is supposed to be which makes me rush into it only to know I will break both of our hearts because my idea of love has been off for years. And like don't get me wrong, I would never post pictures or videos of people online, I don't get angry like August does, but I would have to talk about the way he feels anger. The way it just keeps stewing inside until it is to much and I do something I really fucking shouldnt have done.
