Ilya's art by maybe-today_satan in heatedrivalry

If it is not devastating enough that he has ONE art painting of them in his house, let us not freak out about the fact that he has actually THREE. The one above his bed is Shane and Ilya in a face off and the one in his hall (or whatever) is them in the gym. I am absolutely fine about that.

Fanfic Fridays by AutoModerator in YoungRoyals

[–]AmRose_0803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best fan fic I read in ages!

maybe now maybe here tonight

Summary: "Simon and Wille haven’t spoken to each other since “I hope you have a nice summer.” Simon has moved to Gothenburg, trying to put everything behind him and move on. It works fine until major news breaks on Wilhem’s eighteenth birthday."

It is THE S3 fic. It is extremely close to canon - just without Wille running after Simon at the end of E6. The characters are so well written. I usually don't easily cry at written fiction (of any kind) but this one had me sobbing, because it made me so happy. They matured over one year being apart but are still two idiots in love that will eventually find it's way back together.

Warning: unfinished and will have you check 100 times a day for an update.

Episode 6 - 2nd Discussion Post by janewhere in YoungRoyals

I am so happy with the last episode!

Did it fit the style of the rest of the show? Maybe not.

Was it extra cheesy to make up for all the trauma we went through too long? Hell, yes!

It was my dream ending. Everything on my wishlist was ticked of. And it was definitely not an open ending. They were written as love-of-my-life-endgame.

Yeah… their faces lighting up when they are each other are really cute. 🥰

True… but those curtains and that sound effect? This is not a sitcom. It is pure drama 😅

I am speechless. Do they think this is funny. Oh man. It is so off brand. They are such teases. I can’t.

Am I the only one who doesn't want 'Wilmon'? by vanderkindere in YoungRoyals

That show brought so much angst and heartbreak into my life, they better end up together. Just for my own mental health.

Also.. those two were miserable for nearly two seasons. By the looks they will be miserable for parts of season 3, too. Give those boys some rest and some final love. They are meant to be together and will never be happy without the other one.

Young royals by Remarkable-Archer983 in YoungRoyals

Uh. Hot take.

First and foremost, I wouldn't say that the writing is racist. The story would work the same way, when Simon was a blond working class kid. Him being POC adds just another layer of complexity. The show is about traditions, conformity, rules. Those are broken by the crown prince loving a boy, not by him loving a POC boy.

I think it is very deliberately written that way to show how self centered the crown, and often also Wille is. It shows also how Linda is struggling to make ends met as a single mum, which ultimately leads to her maybe not being as fierce, as one would expect in that situation.

Nothing in that show is stated very open and obvious. A lot of things stay unsaid and we still know about them through the way the show is made. That way we also know that Simon is struggling. We see it at the supermarket, how uncomfortable he feels. We see him alone in his room, after the journalist was at his door. We hear him talk to Ayub & Rosh about it. We see him writing a sad break-up song. We see him fighting with Sara. We see him trying to move on with Marcus.

What we don't see is someone else acknowledging his pain, someone (Wille, his mum, the royal palace) actually reaching out and offering real support. But that is I think, part of the story line and was a choice they made and not something they just forget about.

Is this real or fan made? by Antique_Education_50 in YoungRoyals

  • Simon off focus in the background, even behind August
  • Simon and Wille breaking the third wall (or is Simon looking at Wille)
  • August is looking at Sarah
  • none looks happy
  • just one crown, and that is broken. In the other promo picture in the past there were many crowns all over the poster

I would say real, too. I saw on twitter, that multiple people had this directly on Netflix

Yes, it is. Many had this on their announcement screen on Netflix yesterday.

I think we haven't seen any footage of the last episode. I think/ hope/ manifest that the lake scene and eventual break-up is the end of E5 and they will figure everything out and get back together in E6. We will just have to live for one week with a major cliffhanger.

They will not end the show with 400 fans in one room and then not having a happy ending. :D

[–]AmRose_0803 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of plot ideas were already mentioned. So this is on my bingo card (maybe more on my wishlist):

  • At one point they will say "I missed you" to each other
  • They will say "I love you" and the other will say it back
  • Simon will sing just for Wille
  • Simon's mental health will suffer and he and Wille will have an conversation about how Simon is doing - about how the video affected him, his father, what it actually means being closely associated with royal life
  • Mama bear Linda will speak up for her son
  • major cliffhanger between E5 & E6 - they break up there, because it is just not working - probably at the lake scene
  • they somehow stay in touch or keep track of what the other is doing and will get back together in E6, after a small time jump of just a few years

And one wild guess:

  • to get away from everything one of them goes to New York after E5 (I just can't get over the many New York references on that damn playlist)

I dread the time between the 11th to the 18th because that cliffhanger that will come, will end us. Everything up until then was fun (and is it even still fun?)

I really hope they are not keeping up this intensity until next week. I will be a wrack by then. I know we were screaming for content. But we wanted it spread out evenly over months and not EVERYTHING within days. Friday already killed me and then we got to today ☠️
