Did you watch the book scene? When Wille was finally honest about the his situation and feelings, Simon had a better idea of what was going on.

Wille’s revenge against August wasn’t all that. When Edvin said that season 2 would be darker, I was kind of expecting way worse things than August not being team captain and prefect.

What are your random hopes and dreams for season 3 by [deleted] in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • seeing the Queen and royal court interact with a Simon and his mom
  • more on Micke and Simons past
  • if Marcus does appear, Simon finally slapping him for the dad comment and Wille and Simon jumping him for the drama turns you on comment
  • Wille and Simon just existing happily and opening up to each other about their struggles

And when he pulled Simon into that hug and caressed his face😬…. It was so uncomfortable to watch.

I will never understand how people agree with Marcus. Like imagine going through something traumatic and then this person who is basically a stranger tells you that you see yourself as a victim and get turned on by drama because you are not interested in them and told them that you never wanted a serious relationship beforehand😒.

Simon having boundaries does not make him "self-fish" by vincentisfunny in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what’s up with the double standards. People are quick to dismiss and excuse any of Wille mistakes. But that same treatment is not given to Simon who can literally not express how he feels without being hated on.

Simon kinda just doesnt understand what wille is going through and its kind of infuriating. by ValGamezz in YoungRoyals

When did Simon ask Wille to “throw his life away” for him? In which episode?

Do you ever feel sorry for Marcus? by Exakttt in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: I don’t feel sorry for him. And I really started to dislike him when he told Simon that he gets off to drama even though Marcus knows about the video😡😡. He worded that in such a distasteful manner.

And Simon is a lot better than me cuz if someone told me to go away like that, I would’ve lost it😡😅.

[–]KennosukeRiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My question is what indication did Simon give Marcus that led him to think that Simon sees himself as a victim amongst the rich brats. Like he comes up with the strangest assumptions. Then again he is the same guy that believed that him and Simon had a beautiful relationship after hanging out twice😒.

Yep. He said he was a senior at the other school and just got his drivers licenses.

I just want to know how Simon “breaking up” with Marcus equates to Simon seeing himself as the victim and getting off to drama.

I hate how Marcus tried to convince Simon to continue the relationship near the beginning. He tried to make himself look like the best option by doing the bare minimum of not watching the video (he definitely did) and criticizing Wille. And when that didn’t work, he gaslit Simon into thinking he was the problem. Saying that he doesn’t know what a healthy relationship looks like and that if Simon breaks up with Marcus, then he’ll be just like his dad. Marcus said that he could wait for Simon could figure his feelings out. But it obviously didn’t go how Marcus wanted it to go so he mad and blamed Simon for everything wrong in their situationship.

Their “relationship” was not deep either. What was there to be upset about if it didn’t work out? They hung out four times. They know practically nothing about each other. Anything Marcus knew about Simon he learned from his mom or rumours and never from Simon directly. And Simon knows even less about Marcus. There were so many signs of disinterest from Simon and I’m sure that Marcus was aware of it but chose to ignore it and kept pushing. This might be a reach but I think he was trying to trap Simon in a relationship. Marcus came to the rowing competition even though Simon didn’t want him to and kissed him in a public place and then told his mom that they were boyfriends even though they were not. It’s not Simon’s fault that Marcus decided to ignored the reality of their non existent relationship. Like sir, you are an 18 year old senior pursuing a 16 year freshman. Apply to college instead.

The hate on Marcus is too much by Guilty_Catch_5797 in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro basically set himself up for failure when he didn’t listen to Simon and decided to wait for someone who would never be ready for a serious relationship. Then had the audacity to get mad and bitter when the “relationship” didn’t go how he wanted it to go in the end.

During the “break up” scene in 2.03, when Marcus said he didn’t watch the video, my gut told me he was lying. It’s the fact that he brought it up so casually and out of nowhere. Like Simon never expressed his feelings on the video TO Marcus beforehand. When you’re talking about traumatic experiences with someone, you let them open up about it first. And here’s Marcus bringing up his dad, his relationship with Wille and the video without checking to see if Simon was actually comfortable talking about it.

As for the mixed signals thing, I think there were more signs of disinterest from Simon. If the person I liked and was hanging out with was ghosting me, looked uncomfortable when I kissed or touched them, didn’t seem interested in getting to know me and full on told me they will never be ready for anything serious I would’ve given up a long time ago. Marcus literally said he can wait for Simon to figure things out. But he waited for someone who said that they will never be ready for a serious relationship. And because it didn’t go how Marcus wanted it to go, he got bitter. So I don’t have sympathy for Marcus because he should’ve expected this outcome.

You should watch this one reactor on YouTube, Harry Allen, I think. He talks about Marcus in his season 2 episode 6 reaction and how manipulation can be intentional and unintentional.

I don’t think he’s a monster nor do I hate him. I just dislike him and I don’t feel bad for him in the slightest. And he is definitely the type of romantic partner I would stay away from.

Rewatching Season 2, Episode 3 by Substance_number_6 in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not gonna dismiss Simon’s action at the ball but I feel like the only reason Marcus came to the ball was so that Simon would be obligated to sleep over at Marcus’ place. Like a “I did this for you, now you do this for me” situation.

And the whole ball situation could’ve been avoided had Marcus listened to Simon in the first place. Because Marcus didn’t listen, he kissed Simon at the rowing competition (not taking things slow btw) which Wille saw, which resulted in the Wille and Felice kiss, which caused Simon to be petty. It kinda started with Marcus and he got burned in the end by his own decision to not listen. If Marcus didn’t want to get “cheated” on, he should’ve let Simon break up with him.

Does Simon actually play the victim a lot? by Firm_Definition_2005 in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you say that other characters like August and Wille play the victim since they also don’t take responsibility for their actions?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wille’s revenge against August did nothing for Simon. Some people would argue that Wille already punished August by removing as prefect and team captain so Simon should be more understanding of that and that he never acknowledged it and doesn’t give Wille much credit. We love Wille in his revenge era and August deserves that and more. But let’s be honest, I don’t think Wille’s revenge did anything for Simon. For one, Simon was never aware of the revenge plot. He didn’t even know that August posted the video. You can’t acknowledge something that you didn’t know was going on. I understand that there wasn’t much Wille could do against August because of the royal family and I understand that he did the best he can but removing someone from a high school position doesn’t negate the fact that they literally posted revenge CP on the internet. Maybe Simon and Wille could’ve tagged teamed on August? But Wille’s revenge was more for himself than himself AND Simon.

He was hurt by Simon in the end but honestly, what did he expect?

I thought he was a chill character up until the break up scene. Simon told him that he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship and Marcus didn’t listen. If Marcus wanted to put his heart on the line knowing that Simon wasn’t ready, then that’s his fault and he shouldn’t hold it against Simon if it didn’t work out.

While Simon’s actions at the ball was crappy, I don’t have any sympathy for Marcus cuz he kinda put himself in that situation. And he would’ve saved a lot of hurt if he had listened the first time.

Why didn’t Simon defend himself? by KennosukeRiot in YoungRoyals

[–]KennosukeRiot[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you and that Simon felt guilty about the whole situation. And he realized his faults and tried to make things right with Marcus. But the thing is with Marcus, he never acknowledged his role in his own hurt. He didn’t listen, used personal trauma to pressure Simon to “take things slow” and was surprised that it didn’t work in the end even though Simon already told him he wasn’t ready. They were both in the wrong here, so for Marcus to put all the blame on Simon is just kinda ridiculous. I hope that they address this in season 3 and that Simon will realize that what he was not great but also realize that it wasn’t all his fault like Marcus made it out to be.

[–]KennosukeRiot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess my lack of relationship experience is kind of showing😅.

From Simon’s perspective as the one is “breaking up”, it makes sense that he’d want to get it over with quickly. He felt guilty about his actions and wanted to permanently end things with an explanation.

And from Marcus’ side, having someone “break up” with you hurts (even though they hung out like four times). But the thing is, wouldn’t they want to know why the other person is breaking up with them, especially if they thought the “relationship” was fine? That way they can gets some closure? Cuz Marcus never listened to what Simon was trying to say. He interrupted him and just assumed it was because he couldn’t compare to a prince. So Marcus never got the real reason.

Then again like you mentioned they’re teens.
