Obsessed with the Young Royals finale.

Obsessed with Simon, Sara, Wilhelm and Felice driving away from a shutdown Hillerska, free from a system which was never going to accept them, happy and together.

Obsessed with how there’s still a chance Hillerska could reopen because that system is next to impossible to take down and the upper-class rarely face real consequences for their actions.

Obsessed with August’s face when he saw Wilhelm walking away, realising that he was trapped. Wilhelm said August was the heir they needed but he couldn’t have been more wrong - that man has bucket loads of trauma, an eating disorder he isn’t even close to ready to confront and no support system around him, he’s not gonna do much better with the role of Crown Prince than Wilhelm did.

Obsessed with Nils coming out to his friends and them easily accepting him, because their issue with Simon really was the fact that he was poor and a socialist, and Nils both still believes in the system he’s in and his queerness doesn’t destabilise the system the same way Wilhelm’s does.

Obsessed with Stella ending up with Fredrika, because although Rosh might have been fun to hang out with for a night Stella also still believes in and upholds the system she belongs to and Rosh was never going to fit in that system or uphold the traditional feminine values needed to survive in it.

Obsessed with how the monarchy is portrayed as unchangeable and impossible to modernise because it’s built on such outdated ideals.

Obsessed with the mix of both happy and open-ended endings.

I just adore it so much

no no you don’t understand😭 he gave up the monarchy😭😭 not for simon😭😭 BUT FOR HIMSELF😭😭😭 for his happiness😭 his health😭 his autonomy😭 and thus he can now be with his boyfriend😭😭 but it was not an impulsive love driven decision 😭😭 he chose himself.

Imagine you break up with your first girlfriend, and you believe she’s dead (bc it makes you feel better to) and then 64/65 years later some nobody just starts singing songs your ex wrote … out of no where

imagine the way Snow’s heart just DROPPED lmfao

[thelocalgaykid]

Michael Sheen retweeted this and my love for him grows every time he calls his Angel out on his bullshit and sides with poor Crowley

[thelocalgaykid]

For some reason I found the “Do we know a Jim?” From Crowley to be so domestic like they’re so in tune with eachother he just assumes anyone aziraphale met they met together bc they’re husbands

Good Omens 2 + Text Posts

[thelocalgaykid]

sneak peek at good omens season 3

[thelocalgaykid]

Shout out to rotpl for having one of the best opening scenes of a show ive seen ever, like even if you exclude the buddy and jane scene before the song we get SO much exposition in those 3 minutes or grease is the word and it all feels so natural

Here is my list of everything you learn just from watching the grease is the word scene

We meet almost the entire cast

Learn "brainy janey" is dating buddy aldridge

Buddy is popular and jane isn't

Buddy used to date susan or at least susan likes buddy

Susans friends seem to barely like her "susans going to be crushed.. i better go tell her"

Nancy's interested in fashion

Nancy's friends are interested in boys while she isnt and views fashion as more important

Olivia and Richie are siblings

Olivia hates her peers

Olivia was being punished for something and Richie had to convince their parents to let her come to the drive-in with him and his friends

Richie is protective of olivia

Olivia is viewed as very attractive

Olivia had a relationship with a teacher and is viewed as a slut for doing so

Cynthia is friends with the guys

Cynthia is obviously different to other girls as she has short hair, rides a motorbike and wears pants

And just an extra important piece of information

This cast is SO talented

And thats JUST what we learn in those 3 minutes, how did they naturally get all that information in there?? Its incredible!

"i really hope you become a better person so you dont hurt anyone else but i dont want to be there to see that happen"

[thelocalgaykid]

i realise heartstopper is supposed to be “all ages” and “family friendly” but also i think they should’ve made an exception and let nick call david a cunt

I would pay so much money to get to experience these songs for the first time again

[thelocalgaykid]

me when i can’t control the overflow emotions rolling like a stone my fantasies play hide and seek i’ve got a crush it’s crushing me

[thelocalgaykid]

I really hope the pink ladies find out about Cynthia and Lydia by Cynthia telling them and not by an outing or them stumbling upon them.

I just don't want Cynthia to be put in a position where she's forced to tell them
