YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Edvin's acting is WOW

2024-07-16 10:34:16 +0000 UTCWay after the fact now but this is the second time Simon has shaken hands with the Queen. Season 1 episode 6.
Dennis Verner
2024-06-23 02:50:58 +0000 UTCNothing new to add on the episode. Brilliant acting from the boys and they will stay in my heart forever. You two are incredible and I LOVE watching your reactions!!!!

2024-05-02 01:13:58 +0000 UTCCongrats on 40K! I'm so behind on my reactions so I'm late to the party. I can't wait to catch up on everything you've been watching!

2024-04-26 04:50:26 +0000 UTCIt's nine days later and a little late to comment but this writing is so good. The "echo." Simon's last line, "I can't do this anymore." That's the same line Wille said when he broke up with Simon after Erik's death. It had to be here.
Dennis Verner
2024-04-21 00:07:58 +0000 UTCI was so mad a Simon, bailing when Wilhelm needs him most.... :(
Ouisel
2024-04-18 20:00:23 +0000 UTCPLEASE watch Young Royals Forever after the finale. I don't how how I will survive without your reactions to YR... Let us have a little more light in our lives <3
Hanna
2024-04-16 14:35:46 +0000 UTCAu contraire! I was completely relieved when Wille finally screamed everything out. The situation throughout the entire birthday was unbearable, artificial, distant, fake. Then this constant talking about Erik, pure provocation. Furthermore, one must not forget that Wilhelm's parents haven't spoken properly to him for months. He 'has' to use this situation, he can't just call his mother in everyday life. Poor baby.

2024-04-14 15:37:39 +0000 UTCI feel for the Queen, but have no respect for either her or her husband. The've done nothing but abandon their son in every way both before and after Erik's death. And they refuse to see or ear him; I agree that this would be the outcome. The kid is going through too much and breaking down - Simon is not equipped to handle that and should not need to be. It's so unfair to both of them. I feel so much for both characters in this situation.

2024-04-12 20:25:15 +0000 UTCThe beard looks amazing! Congrats on the subscriber milestone. I'm sorry, but you'll have glitter herpes now. Regardless of how careful you are, glitter is like herpes: one time and you'll have it forever. I know people who are still finding glitter in their place 3 years after using a small amount. Fun fact: Wille trashing all the gifts on the table was improvised by Edvin. TLDR: Lisa Ambjörn, the creator and head writer, used her queer friend as inspiration for Erik being involved in the initiation. Lisa Ambjörn's friend found out that her dad who died when she was a baby, was actually really homophobic, and possibly would've been really cruel to her when she came out. Lisa's friend had to come to terms with her father, whom she had idolized, as not being perfect. Lisa thought it would be an interesting addition to this season with the queen grieving Erik, and I totally agree. Lisa Ambjörn also said the initiation was August's triggering event for his eating disorder. Being forced to undress around a bunch of people, being subjected to sexual violence, and then those people commenting on his body often afterward was incredibly harmful, even though August is straight and the homophobia wouldn't have applied to him. Being exposed to any sort of sexual situation (even if it was something you're not attracted to), and being told you'd be beaten and then mocked if you got a nervous erection was enough to devastate anyone. After August's father died by suicide, his mental health got so much worse, that he started abusing ADHD medication as an additional form of weight-control. Sara being suspicious of her dad when outsiders would likely see it as him doing well, makes total sense. She's been around the signs of him relapsing her entire life. Perhaps him acting overly happy and giving excuses as to why, is a pattern for him whenever he's lost his sobriety. I try to give the queen a small amount of grace because mental health issues are out of people's control, but the king gets ZERO understanding from me. He doesn't have any excuse for continuing to not be there for Wilhelm right now. The queen has been repressing her grief (and undoubtedly a lot of other stuff) for years, but it's clear that neither of his parents have ever truly been supportive of Wille, even before all the trauma he's endured of late. Linda may make some poor choices as a parent, but at least Sara and Simon never had to wonder if they were a priority in her life. Wilhelm has always been an afterthought to his parents and he knew as much. It's awful. I'm glad Wille said what he did, but the delivery left something to be desired. I saw Wille and Simon breaking up coming a mile away. Let's face it, their relationship has never been particularly healthy. Wille needs to really address what's going on with him, and why he's still putting himself through all this misery, when Wille himself admitted last season that abdicating was an option.

2024-04-12 20:00:04 +0000 UTCCongratulations on not completely losing your shit and going into the ugly cry. I cried like I was being dumped. A lot of people shat all over Simon after this. They’re kids!! What was he supposed to do? This would be difficult for adults. But yeah, completely and utterly shattered. They made us wait a week!! Ugh. Thank you for your reaction. I feel validated. lol

2024-04-12 19:32:50 +0000 UTCA gentle reminder to revisit the Patreon post from 20th February where the guys asked people not to comment about what/when new content is coming. Any recommendations for reaction videos should be made through the Discord channel rather than here on Patreon.

2024-04-12 15:53:55 +0000 UTClmao Alex has lost all hope .... I won't say what happens but I will say the final episode had me crying from start to finish non stop lol
Emma Williams
2024-04-12 15:03:28 +0000 UTCLoving the beard Alex 🏳️🌈. Thanks for another great reacting! Can’t wait for the final one of this briliant show. Bring tissues 🤧. I have said this before and I stand by it, there is a time and place for everything. Simon breaking it of with Wilhelm was understandable. But if you love someone truely, you don’t do it on his birthday and just after he had the biggest fight with his parents. He was all broken down already. If Simon just had hold Wilhelm that night he could have had the talk the day after. I was scared for Wilhelm at this point 😢. I understand it was to much for Simon but he could have waited a few hours til Wilhelm calmed down.
Marstrand
2024-04-12 14:48:23 +0000 UTCAgreed! ❤️👑❤️
Ruth May
2024-04-12 13:45:57 +0000 UTCI watched an interview where Simon was asked why he wore trousers that looked like pyjama bottoms for Wilhelm’s birthday with the queen. 😂 He seemed to allude that he wished he got to style himself lol. I don’t know, I think he looked great.
Reem
2024-04-12 12:38:24 +0000 UTCOh gosh- the twat comment had me rolling. 😂 I enjoy getting to re-experience these episodes with you. I was broken at the end of this episode too. Sometimes when I read an incredible book/fantasy series, I wish I could read it all over again but not know what happens. Watching your reactions feels like that- being able to re-experience the emotions of a series almost fresh. Be prepared for emotions to be all over the place for the finale. What I felt half way through the finale episode and what I felt at the end were completely different. So excited for you to watch and react.
Samm Daugherty
2024-04-12 03:44:06 +0000 UTCAlso, I didn’t know if you noticed that the woman playing the guitar while they’re singing for Wille’s birthday is Lisa Ambjörn, the writer and creator of the show!
Jera Hanson
2024-04-12 02:47:00 +0000 UTCCongrats on 40K!! Great beard Alex, but that glitter is going to be with you for a very long time. Oh the drama of this episode! Wille having his brother up on that perfect pedestal came crashing down. Him going to the palace and imagining the initiation that his brother took part in and undoubtedly making him relive his own at the same time was heartbreaking. He just keeps bottling all these emotions and feelings until he ultimately explodes at the actual palace in front of Simon and his parents. I do think that his parents needed to hear it. Simon just keeps trying to be there for his love and is slowly realizing how much of himself he is having to give up. I think being at the palace and actually witnessing what life is like for Wille and then seeing him explode like that was the final straw for him. You can see the shock and fear in his eyes! Omar’s facial expressions are on point this season!! I was also glad that he and Sarah finally made up. I’m glad we got more of August’s background, his story arc has been great this season. I must say that cliffhanger left me a blubbering mess and that following week was the longest week ever!! I cannot wait to see your reaction to the finale! And like everyone else, I think you should react to the documentary. It’s really good!
Jera Hanson
2024-04-12 02:46:27 +0000 UTCI’m honestly so relieved!!!! I know we all want them to ride off into the sunset together but regardless of the shit storm their lives are they are not good for each other
Hannah Howden
2024-04-12 02:33:45 +0000 UTCI agree, Wille has never gotten the support he’s needed from his parents, as was evident in S1 ep1 when he was forced to make that apology and forced to go to Hillerska.
Jera Hanson
2024-04-12 01:49:01 +0000 UTCYes! I was going to mention this. This just shows off Edvin and Omar’s chemistry even more! Even though it is a very emotional and tense scene (unlike the cute boyfriends being in love scenes) they play off one another so naturally. When Edvin destroys the gifts, Omar was shocked and then was able to hold that look on his face, rather than breaking character. These two actors deserve ALL the awards in my opinion!
Jera Hanson
2024-04-12 01:42:02 +0000 UTCLove the 🌈 beard…. But that glitter is never coming out of that shirt or anywhere else it may have landed in your room. Lol
Shari
2024-04-12 01:31:05 +0000 UTCWorst birthday ever. 🥺
Shari
2024-04-12 01:27:41 +0000 UTCOh that beard is spectacular!
Hannah Howden
2024-04-12 01:24:01 +0000 UTCI think what this episode does really well, maybe intentionally, maybe not, is show the difference between Simon & Willie’s families. You see the love and support Simon always has from his mom and you see how Willie doesn’t have that same love & support. He really is alone and struggling. It’s all about the monarchy, all about themselves and all about Erik. I think Willie’s blow up was 100% warranted and his parents needed to hear it. He is their ONLY LIVING SON and the way they treat him is heartbreaking. 🥺
Kelsey
2024-04-12 01:19:44 +0000 UTCFun fact “A Story Worth Telling” the gifts were not supposed to go flying that was improvised according to Edvin and Omar had no clue he was going to do that
Amanda Balser
2024-04-11 23:51:40 +0000 UTCSo glad you discussed the nail polish removal. The first time I watched it, that literally took my breath away. As a parent of queer kids, that moment really hit me, making me think about how my own children have felt it necessary at times to hide parts of themselves. That on screen moment is so simple and powerful. A real gut punch scene.
Carrie Lindley
2024-04-11 23:36:05 +0000 UTCI can’t remember if I read it or saw it in an interview, that during Wille telling off his parents, that him throwing the presents was improvised and Simon’s reaction was genuine.
Jackie McGillis
2024-04-11 23:18:08 +0000 UTCApparently this part of the scene was improvised by Edvin and Omar’s reaction of genuine shock was because it wasn’t in the script, the tearing down of all the stacked birthday gifts.
Ruth May
2024-04-11 22:28:31 +0000 UTCi agree as well. he's tried to say a lot of these things previously (dinner table after eriks funeral), dinner the night before the speech in the season 2 finale, on the phone to her when malin got rough with him.. and each and every time she hasn't listened. it angers me the neglect he's had from his parents. it sounds like even when erik was around, wille didnt get much attention from them.. i think they needed this wake-up call. it's a shame simon had to witness it though.
LM-Entertainment Australia
2024-04-11 20:53:48 +0000 UTCthoughts on the behaviour aside.. edvin ryding (wille)'s performance in the birthday cake seen was absolutely incredible acting! theres been so many amazing and memorable scenes throughout this series - but the cake room scene just showed how INCREDIBLE he is at acting.
LM-Entertainment Australia
2024-04-11 20:51:31 +0000 UTCI do love glittery Alex. I hope he makes a return visit soon.
jennifer
2024-04-11 20:49:21 +0000 UTCi dont know if this comment should be put out there. if they're wanting a spoiler-free experience.. it's probably better to delete that comment.
LM-Entertainment Australia
2024-04-11 20:47:52 +0000 UTCWhen you have watched this whole show you have to react to behind the scenes of this show! It’s called young royals forever and it’s amazing!!!! 😍😍😍
Maria Truedsson
2024-04-11 20:31:05 +0000 UTCThere are so many of these, it's fun to track them.
Dennis Verner
2024-04-11 20:15:26 +0000 UTCI didnt say he was judging him for losing him temper. I said he was being judgemental by saying he doesnt recognise him, and using that as a reason to break up. People do change, but the fundamentals of Willes personality havent changed, yes he isnt pushing back as much as he used to, but the loyalty to the crown, choosing the crown over anything else has always been there. Like when he told Simon to delete the video of him on social media the first night they went out, and asking him to delete all of their texts when he officially became Crown Prince. He's saying Wille isnt the same person, that hes changed and he doesnt recognise him, but nothing about Wille has really changed. In fact the only things Wille ever really did in the past to stand up to the crown was to admit it was him in the video and refuse to leave the school. I just think its harsh to say he's a different person, and use that as the reason you're ending things, when really its a whole multitude of things. Everyone will interpret things differently, thats just how I see it.
Louise Poole 🍂
2024-04-11 19:59:29 +0000 UTCI don't think he's judging him on losing his temper. Wille is progressively becoming more like his mother as the season goes on and no longer pushes back on authority or tradition as he was doing in Season 2. This is why Simon doesn't recognise him. Simon wants Wille to be his true self, not a carbon copy of his mum.
Dionne Lakey
2024-04-11 19:53:28 +0000 UTCOoh! Good catch!
Dionne Lakey
2024-04-11 19:51:45 +0000 UTCLove your reactions! (Move to sweden and be friends with me! 😅) You got to react to the documentary as well! I think a part of why this series is so fenomenal is cause written, casted and directed by women 💪
Matilda
2024-04-11 19:44:03 +0000 UTCGuys, the thing to remember as you go into the finale, is, aside from Simon, what has been Wille's fondest wish right from the very first episode of season 1?
Dennis Verner
2024-04-11 19:20:57 +0000 UTCOf course, one of the many incredible things about this series is the writing. Lisa and her crew took great care to see that story lines were complete and consistent throughout. And, if you're paying attention, you can hear the "echoes." Simon's last line in this episode is, "I can't do this anymore." That's what Wille said in episode 4 of season 1 when he breaks it off with Simon after Erik's death. Echoes.
Dennis Verner
2024-04-11 19:13:15 +0000 UTCAlso loved the rainbow glitter beard! And also loved watching Alex's shirt get progressively more glittery as the video went on 😂
Louise Poole 🍂
2024-04-11 19:06:54 +0000 UTCI never thought I'd be saying this, and I know I'll have daggers thrown at me for it 😂 but on about my 5th watch through I find Simon a little bit too judgemental of Wille in that scene saying he didnt recognise him. Wille has been seen to lose his temper before, in the first episode its why he ended up at this school, and he fought with August. Plus Simons not innocent of losing his temper he had a bit of a tussle with August when he owed him money. And Simon got angry with his Mum when she kept wanting him to pee in a cup. Simon knows the pressure Willes been under, knows how worried he's been about his Mum, knows how Eriks death impacted him and now him finding out about Erik, he also witnessed how closed off the Queen was at dinner and how much she mentioned Erik. So while I don't blame him for wanting to put and end to the relationship, I do find it a tad judgemental to say he became a different person just because he finally let out everything thats been bubbling away under the surface.
Louise Poole 🍂
2024-04-11 19:06:17 +0000 UTCIn Wille’s case is trying to be everything to everyone and take everything that he just broke and nothing could’ve stopped the way it all came out and it had to come out like that
Amanda Balser
2024-04-11 18:50:00 +0000 UTCAin’t that the truth
Amanda Balser
2024-04-11 18:46:09 +0000 UTCAb Fab beard, re-decorated glittery home, 😆
Gina Lipkin
2024-04-11 18:31:16 +0000 UTCBig changes ahead thank you for sharing your thoughts and discussion and viewings with us, comfort hug your way, such heartfelt acting
Gina Lipkin
2024-04-11 18:20:59 +0000 UTCHad to rewatch episode 4 with you even though I know what's going to happen. The lead in from one episode to another is so important. Love watching this series with you guys!
Dennis Verner
2024-04-11 17:53:32 +0000 UTCI completely agree. They got what they deserved there. And long long overdue!!! I LOVED Wille saying “I am your only son, dad. Do you see me?” Perfectly delivered by Edvin - gave me chills.
IAmom
2024-04-11 17:52:07 +0000 UTCOk, I survived watching this episode again..just..but just imagine, guys, what we all went through after seeing this and then having to wait a whole week before being able to watch the finale. I was wrecked. Bring tissues, snacks, the whole support system for episode 6, you’re going to need all of it.
Ruth May
2024-04-11 17:50:30 +0000 UTCI love you guys! Ive looked forward to all of your YR reactions and now theres only one left..😔 I really hope you react to "Young Royals forever" too!
Susanne
2024-04-11 17:23:15 +0000 UTCI think the situation with Wille is that although I think you’re right, Alex, that everyone should be the person they want to be and not agonise about what others would think, Wille has never been free to be that person. Also, he’s understandably placed Erik on a pedestal of imagined perfection, especially since he died so tragically and thinking of him like that has been a comfort to him, so that he has been drawing on that memory for emotional support and strength. Now that image has come crashing down, he’s completely adrift and that shattered frog Prince snow globe which Erik gave him which is seen in the background while he talks to his father on the phone is assuming a whole new significance. The purple nail varnish, Simon’s colour, is ‘inappropriate’, just like hair shorter than a certain length, a tattoo of the heart that Simon drew on his hand would be considered wrong for the Crown Prince. All these ‘visuals’ that Alex refers to are underlining Wille’s inability to be himself while he’s still considered the next king. The only person who can touch him, the real him, is Simon, signified by him reaching his hand through the shattered glass without cutting himself in season 2 episode 5, when he goes to Wille’s room and they make love on the day before the jubilee ceremony and Wille’s speech. And on a lighter note, God knows we need one in this episode, it turns out that their love language is sandwiches! 🥰🥪
Ruth May
2024-04-11 17:09:30 +0000 UTCCongratulations on 40K!
Dennis Verner
2024-04-11 16:39:17 +0000 UTCLovely amazing fun reaction as always!!! Thanks guys 🥰 Also, have to say, the translation is so frustrating at times! Willie's dad isn't saying it'd be nice to meet Simon, he says nice to SEE Simon (the Swedish 'träffa' means meet/see or even hang out with, and in this context I think he's referring to one of the latter). Just judging from his behavior at the dinner, he's trying to compensate for Queen kind of.
Joanna
2024-04-11 16:18:04 +0000 UTCOMG I can't wait for your reaction to the finale!! Please react to the documentary they released as well called young royals forever
Claire
2024-04-11 16:02:10 +0000 UTCThanks in advance for this reaction, guys. ❤️🙏 I am watching it later…need to prepare myself emotionally to go through it again…😭😬 and as far as glitter goes, it’s going to be everywhere forever and as an added benefit, I discovered that I am allergic to it one Christmas when I was dutifully wrapping sparkly parcels for my daughter who was little then and fairy dust had to be sprinkled liberally on everything. But you look gorgeous, Alex.
Ruth May
2024-04-11 16:00:45 +0000 UTCI know I'm a sucker for redempion arcs but they've done such a good job writing for August that I'd probably join a twitter campaign to get a spin off series about his journey now!
AT
2024-04-11 15:44:49 +0000 UTCUuuhhh Thank you for this and congrats on the 40k - it is well deserved ❤️ I watched season 3 3-4 months ago and I just couldn’t wait to see your reaction to it - thank you for always being so authentic.
IAmom
2024-04-11 15:42:59 +0000 UTCOh God, there's a lot in this episode! We get a better understanding of why August is the way he is, and we see how much he doesn't actually want to be that guy. That very like Wille, loneliness made him angry and sad, made him make really shit choices (remember why Wille ended up at Hillerska in the 1st place!)and Sara made him feel like the person he wants to be. And Wille! Well...the only person he had who he could talk to, and who actually listened, for 16 years was his brother. Suddenly he feels like he didn't know him, and that maybe the one person he loved more than anyone else before Simon might have hated him, teased him or even beaten him up for being queer! No wonder he's not in a great place! Poor Simon is trying so bloody hard, but I think Wille has become so used to not being heard, to his feelings & needs being completely dismissed by those closest to him, and he's in so much emotional pain, he can't see the the "only one I can talk to" is really listening. He's projecting his own darkest thoughts onto Simon, and not listening himself. The Queen had that coming, imho though. Yes, she's gone through an absolutely dreadful time, but the whole family has, and she's STILL not listening to her youngest child, not seeing his pain or his needs, so focused is she on the all-perfect Erik. Dad's been doing his ineffectual best, to be fair, but he is a bit chocolate tea-pot. And for fuck's sake, can we just keep the boys away from sodding pianos! It invariably goes tits up when those two spend more than 2 minutes alone in the presence of one!!!! Loves the beard btw Alex! 😘😘😘😘
Jacqueline Hahn
2024-04-11 15:33:10 +0000 UTCAnd poor Simon. He's been becoming more and more a shell of himself the whole series. Worst time to say what he said to Wille, who now feels he's lost parents he never felt connected to anyway, and a brother who turns out not to be the picture of perfection he held him to, and now he loses Simon too, the only person he feels he can talk to, even though he hasn't been doing that effectively this season either. But for his own self preservation he had to say it. The mirror of him and Wille both coming to the same place of painful truth was good writing I think.
AT
2024-04-11 15:30:31 +0000 UTCSo much sad, so much tense. Yikes. I don't think I breathed for the last 10 minutes and I'd already seen the episode when it came out! On the plus side, Alex's beard brings the jolly so there's that. Another nice moment was Wille's dad making an effort to speak to Simon at the dinner table. Shows the sharp contrast with his mother not being able to at all. I think Wille had to say everything he said, even the last line. I think his mother needed to hear it. She's not just the adult in this but she's the monarch. Wille just barely 17, never really parented, ignored in favour of Erik for his whole life no doubt and then thrown to the wolves as a fledgling Crown Prince. He simply didn't have the emotional IQ to do anything else. Previous attempts to reach out to his mum were ignored, and his dad hung up on him in the middle of his attempt with him. At lest now he's been heard.
AT
2024-04-11 15:22:58 +0000 UTCi know some ppl think wille should have worded things better to the queen but i honestly think he said it how it needed to be said. the queen has neglected and put her son through so much pain that she DESERVES to see it. she deserves to see how everything has destroyed him. when wille was having breakdowns, when wille was mourning, when wille wanted to ignore her, they barely showed any care and pushed him to his crown prince duties. but the minute the queen is upset, she gets all the support and rest she wants. wille telling them if they can even see him is heartbreaking. for a teenage boy to feel like his parents think he's invisible..
Roj
2024-04-11 14:18:28 +0000 UTCYay! Thank you guys! Now I can whine about the Finalé.
Dennis Verner
2024-04-11 14:15:48 +0000 UTCwille's behavior throughout this season, even though very frustrating at times, is so well written given his circumstances. as the previous comment and also u guys said, last season we had started to see growth from wille and the way in which he processes things and emotionally handles himself but now it seems like he's done a 180 and it all makes perfect sense. last season, wille was very focused on messing stuff up because he did not care about his crown prince role and was even looking forward to being able to abdicate so august could take his place and he would be free. however, going into this season wille is no longer in that position. he is now focused on being crown prince because his hatred for august after what he pulled in the s2 finale and everything else has made wille not want to let august be "rewarded" and take over. and now his moms health is in decline so he is feeling the pressure to to be the crown prince AND be a good one at that (which means following what the court says). adding onto this, wille has been so preoccupied with all this pressure that he is forgetting to go to therapy (as we saw in ep 3) which definetly doesn't help things. in the way that simon was losing himself this season, wille has been losing himself as well. simon's realization of this is great and he is absolutely right to end things before it just gets even worse for the both of them.
Roj
2024-04-11 14:02:56 +0000 UTCI think what Wille said to his parents really needed to be said - and I don‘t think, it could have been done differently. After all he is just barely 17 and the pressure piled up and up until he exploded. It was his breaking point, but lead unfortunetly also to Simons breaking point. I can understand both of them, which makes it even sadder and harder.
Allinug
2024-04-11 14:01:23 +0000 UTCFirstly, Alex, the beard is fabulous! Your lungs will sparkle forever! lol This really was a hard episode to watch. Like you boys said, you could feel it coming, but when it did, it still hurt so bad. Wille really needs to have more sessions with Boris. He was doing so well during the second half of last season. He was communicating without exploding, but that's all gone to hell this season, and especially this episode. I do feel sorry for the Queen. She did lose a son, and that's devastating. I'm sure she grew up with the same "stiff upper lip" mentality that she's tried to instill in Wille, but Wille's heart and mind don't work that way, as much as he tries. We've seen that time and time again throughout this series. Simon tries so hard to be there for Wille, but no matter what he does, it just doesn't work. He feels completely helpless and defeated. It's really been sad to watch. Chugging along on the trauma train, we have Sara and her Dad. My heart broke for Sara when she saw her Dad out partying with his friends, not giving one single thought about Sara, despite his promise that he was fine. Sadly, I don't think he'll ever change. Finally, they've really made a successful redemption arc for August. Not only do I like him, but I feel bad for him. I think we know more about August now than we've ever known about Wille. It takes some special writing to turn the villain of the first two seasons into someone who you sympathize with and understand. Now we head to the finale with Simon and Wille broken up. What will become of our boys??

2024-04-11 12:53:10 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite things about this show when it comes to queer representation is the casting. Alexander is played by trans man, Xiao-Long Zhao and, as it should be, he just plays a 16 year old boy. Without any fanfare. Rosh is played by a lesbian woman, Beri Gerwise. Beri is so engaging with the fandom and has now got two children with her partner. The first baby was born after season one came out and the fandom were so inspired by her little family on social media. Xiao too has been really engaging with the fandom. Just as in the show, being queer is not something that is highlighted but the cast and the characters are representing their full selves. Even aside from being queer, the show also has three character with ADHD and we get to see different experiences of that diagnosis. Sara, Micke, Vincent and the script are such good representation of living with ADHD. Permanent Rain Press have done interviews with 25 members of the cast and crew since 2021 which I recommend having a look at: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLqRDms0_2N8EvZlx9R-dDq97kRhNKGZu&si=OqxSA3u4l_s1RzNd

2024-04-11 11:58:12 +0000 UTCi love your reaction this episode was the hardest to watch and simon got the courage to say how he has been feeling its not easy for younger people to say how they are feelings and they both are feeling so much pain and its does hurt to see younger people go though this and also with wille he got so much presher on his plant that royal family and courts puting all this on him he only 17 year old its so much to deal with i just feel sorry for the both of them of what they are going though.

2024-04-11 11:21:31 +0000 UTCLove the beard Alex, but you realise your apartment will now and forever have glitter everywhere, and I mean everywhere. But hey these are the prices one must pay to look fabulous 🌈🌈🏳️🌈

2024-04-11 11:15:06 +0000 UTCThanks! Can't watch before tonight, but I see the beard Alex👀 Congratulations! It looks good on you! 🤩

2024-04-11 11:14:57 +0000 UTCCongrats on the Milestone. ❤️ Not a big glitter person myself, and it can take a bit getting used to, when I see someone glittering up their beard, but you can pull it off. Could be fun to see Josh in drag just once, but we'll have to wait for 50 K then. I feel for Wilhelm, it's sad he has to wonder now, what his brother would have thought about him coming out, and if Simon thinks Wilhelm feeling down might have something to do with him, and the way Wilhelms birthday ended OMG, he just let it all out on his Mother, and Simon not liking that side of him/that he think he has somehow changed.
