Beyonce cannot recollect the text...
Tumblr media
How diplomatic of Beyonce's people denying the text read out in the FakeFlix Fakeumentary in the kindest way possible...
But the snotklap at the end i.e "it was not a life-changing memory moment" is the best retaliation.
And just to correct everyone on the South African terms used here... snotklap is a face slap that sends boogers flying and it is part of a klapping back process, which is when people get into a hit me, I'll hit you back mode. Please note the correct spelling of klap, it is the Afrikaans word for slap. A Klap-back is vicious retaliation. This is interesting because it is an Afrikaans word with an English word, which South Africans love to do for effect, because klap terug does not quite have the same emphasis. It is not clapping as in applause and as in "I am so amused and entertained. " More like Beyonce just said you don't entertain me in the least you unimportant nobody.
Lesson here is don't step on Queen B's toes and if you do it again, you might get klapped into next week.

RWRB Bloopers, a fucking list of favourite moments because I'm going insane
I'm going fucking insane over the bloopers, I have been playing it on repeat for the last hour, but I also really need to sleep or else I'm dead in class tomorrow morning so here's a list of my favourite bits of the bloopers:
Fucking eine kleine nachtmusik remix as background music
Nick feeding Taylor cake
Taylor kicking Nick's ass and Nick shoving him
Nick's soft "Don't Start" when Taylor fucks up the line
Taylor biting his own finger while repeating "climate conference"
Then Taylor turning around and going back to annoyed Alex in a split second
"So, seriously, what other famous boys have you had sex with?"
Nick's adorable expression to Taylor then looking like a baby deer in headlights (no wonder one of his nicknames is Bambi) when he realizes he's in frame
THE ENTIRE FUCKING SCENE ON THE BED???HELLO???? WHAT THE FUCK??? DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE????
(but in detail) Nick's face immediately scrunching up adorably the second Taylor starts blowing raspberries
Taylor shaking and burying his head into Nick's neck like a freaking puppy
Nick hitting him and cute little "Go back to America" BABYGIRL
The panic in both of their eyes when they realize they're falling over the couch
Then immediately laughing so loud and brightly
Nick pulling Taylor up from the couch
"get in bitches we're going shopping!" *distant WOOOOO
Taylor: "Squirrel!!!" Rachel: "????"
"Remember that time we found wild...marijuana growing" Nick losing it and Taylor staying in character and going "yes. YES!" (I'm guessing the entire conversation on the car was improvised)
Nick singing the fucking "You're insecure" meme
Nick's cute tongue thing after they called cut after "I'm definitely not doing karaoke"
The flashes of everyone's derpy faces
how the fuck did Taylor rip his sleeve
everyone else continuing the scene but Nick and Taylor going "NOOOOOOO"
Also honestly a couple of these moments wouldn't be out of character for Henry and Alex and that's how you know the casting is fucking perfect

One of the things I personally really adore about Wilmon's chemistry is that they have this innocent, child-like wonder in the way they explore each other(and I mean it in the most non-puritan way possible). That incessant curiosity about each other's bodies, that constant shared looks of "I want to know what these feelings are when I look at you because it's so new and earth-shattering to me", their almost sort of daring approach to the blooming desire in their hearts- it just makes so much sense because they ARE kids. Yes, a 16-year old themselves may not feel like they are a kid anymore but when you grow up and see things in retrospect, a 16-year old IS a kid.
And it's just so interesting to me because many teen media creators forget that a teen is closer to have a child-like approach to their lives rather than an adult's, and instead they end up envisioning teens and their lives with this "adult" lens. Which is not essentially a wrong approach, but it's not just very relatable to many teens? Like being young and exploring intimacy in a safe and consenting manner is not mutually exclusive like many people think it to be.
And the most devastating part about all this is that tragically this innocence was completely ruptured by revenge porn of all things. A tender moment reduced to just pixels of hedonistic mockery, and that too in a digital age where public humiliations are immortalised forever. And how all of this tinged the moments Wilmon share after the video leak with this feeling of them just trying to stay afloat in a ruthless world with each other's comfort.
And I just can't wait for S3 because I really want to see them reclaim that wonder once again. Yes, it won't be easy, but atleast they have all the time in the world to do so, now that they are together.

on my fourth RWRB rewatch and here’s what i’ve picked up this time (except it’s only the first half of the movie bc I never finished this rewatch):
in the opening, the newscast says Martha Fitzroy but the NYT article Ellen holds up says Martha Thompson
forever obsessed w “oh, unlike you, whose role is clearly spelled out in Article Nothing of the US Constitution”
would love a breakdown of the set for the Oval Office and what art they included (two busts, looks like one is a man and one is a woman? could be nondescript but presidents usually pick their art for reasons and I assume MML + scene team did the same) (Abe Lincoln is also there which may be a callback to Alex’s line to Miguel)
respectfully there’s no way Alex is doing well in his law classes w the life he leads (source: i’m a lawyer)
when Henry texts Alex w the “ACD is going to be a father” article, Alex had the Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act up on his laptop (✨foreshadowing✨)
Alex calls for Henry when H leaves the New Year’s party
the bi color scheme in the scene in Nora’s office is Elite
snow? in DC?? on new years??? about as unbelievable as a Democratic woman pres winning Texas
pretty sure CMQ said they picked the albums in Alex’s room (would also love a breakdown for these picks although some seem obvious) and they are: Wonderful Wonderful by the Killers; Rumours by Fleetwood Mac; Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty; good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar; Bigger Than Both of Us by Daryl Hall & John Oates; and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John
Henry fidgets w the ring when he asks Alex about the polo match 🥺
I can’t remember if it was a detail in the book but Henry always in double breasted suits and Alex (largely) in unbuttoned sport coats just Makes Sense stylistically and character-wise (Henry more traditional, “put together,” and closed off, Alex more modern and open) (also Henry taking said double breasted suit off for Alex)
plus Henry’s Rolex (? I don’t know watches) vs Alex’s Apple Watch
the HANDS which for better or for worse (*cough* better) just solidifies how much I associate them w Pride & Prejudice
two prominent pride campaign posters in the back of Ellen’s Texas campaign office when Alex gets there
sincerely hope Texas is Alex’s summer job bc there’s no way he’s doing 18 hour days plus law school (but also is that really only taking 3 months) (also I know his thing is that he never sleeps but geez)
Oval Office decor update: Harriet Tubman and FDR portraits

How could that reality show get classified as a documentary when there are so many proven lies in it?If anything it is a delusional love letter from Markle to herself.Netflix certainly got Markled.
Thanks for the ask.
Oh boy, I agree. I have never watched such utter rubbish. Except maybe that one time I watched a single episode of KUWTK. Once was enough.
And the way the lies came so smoothly and easily.... perhaps it is different for the uninitiated non-Tumblr folk who haven't seen and watched quite so closely over the last few years and kept receipts of all the things she has done, By contrast, we know immediately when she tries to plaster over something with a lie, because we remember it so clearly. And the Anon's are really good at crowd-sourcing information, and they are everywhere, and can find things out. Whereas ordinary people probably take it all at face value. I have a couple of friends who totally loved it and fell for the love story and the big bad BRF. I haven't got the energy to try to open their eyes, but I feel sorry for them and the disappointment they will feel when all the lies get exposed. They will feel so betrayed, so duped.
Regarding NF itself, I think that they probably never got to see rushes probably under the guise of the Harkles didn't want the contents to leak. So NF had to take their word for it that it was a good show, explosive and all that. This is probably also why there was so little advance notice to the airing date, and the rushed out trailers. I think the NF executives watched it in horror with the rest of us and thought "what the hell?" Is this what they call a documentary? No wonder the CEO of Archewell quit just before it dropped, she wanted to get the hell out of there before the proverbial shit hit the fan. And the director must be hanging her head in shame.... look I suppose she did the best she could with footage filmed by Doria and Markus. But I can imagine, it is not her best work.
One good thing about this is that the UK parliament has woken up to the fact that the American streaming services are largely a new means to distribute propaganda and that they are NOT REGULATED like national licensed broadcasters. So the new laws that mean they are subject to Ofcom will be a step in the right direction. Now that is not to say that there are not great shows on these streaming services or that every documentary is a load of horseshit, no, there are some great documentaries. I am currently enjoying the Apocolypse based on Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods, and not enjoying the fantasy-documentary on Anne Boleyn with the modern music and hammy acting/dramatisation of events, with the overly excited commentary by "historians"... perhaps that should by hystorians?
Like most things in life discernment in what to choose to watch or believe is what separates the dull and thick as a planks, from the intelligent and informed. Everyone needs to choose their lane, but for heavens sake don't get offended when the intelligent and informed roll their eyes at your idiotic statements, if you happen to be in the thick as a plank lane.
Thankfully you appear to be in the intelligent and informed lane.

So I... Umm... I actually don't know what a DVD commentary is like (my only experience was Dan and Phil's commentary on their Interactive Introverts tour DVD) so I went to read the Wikipedia page and uhhhh
Tumblr media
"Occasionally actors will perform commentary in character"
HUH.
So let's say we get a DVD with DVD commentary. (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRIME PLEASE)
These are all the versions/groupings I can think of:
Matthew, directory commentary
Matthew and Robbie, with more insights on IC's work
Nick and Taylor, as themselves, actors' commentary
Nick and Taylor and Matthew, the holy trio
Maybe Matthew and Casey? It'd be nice to have Casey get involved but the movie is more Matthew's story, and Casey already did amazing annotations on the book
All four of them, as essentially the creators of the RWRB world
HENRY AND ALEX, AS THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES, HOLY SHIT JUST THINK OF IT HOLY SHIT
Jeeze not only is there a want for a commentary, but there can be MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF THE COMMENTARY
PRIME. COME ON. THE IDEAS ARE RIGHT HERE.

You say you love Simon but yet you can't understand where he's coming from???
Ummm... cause I do love Simon and I relate to him a LOT.
It's not Simon's fault that the writers rushed the last season... I can GUARANTEE they had the budget to do more episodes so that it flowed in a way that made sense to the characters and who they are.
Like… the miscommunication trope happening after they promised each other not to do that, was crazy…
Trust that I fully understand his feelings, that doesn't mean I can't be honest about the fact he kicked Wille when he was already down...
Like I've said, MANY TIMES, Simon's feelings were valid as fuck. They always have been. But having the breakup happen that very same night ON WILLE'S BIRTHDAY?! Y'all gonna tell me that wasn't fucked up?
And if I tell y'all how I REALLY feel about S3, y'all gone be mad at me so... Imma leave it at that 🙂
Two things can be true at the same time...
So

I see Simon as someone who seeks academic validation. I mean, he dealt drugs to pay for math tutoring. While I do love the bigger focus on his choir singing in s2, I'm also curious on how he's doing academically.
The class scenes served more as romance build-up, what with them touching hands on the pencil case and the book parallel scene. The most character insight was about how Wille's anxiety can skyrocket until he throws up.
So, is Simon taking it less seriously now because of everything that happened in s1? Does he think that 'moving on' from Bjärstad is still possible, with the video and all?

Little subtle things that touch on racism in young royals: the 17-18th century costumes for the valentines ball. Not only are the costumes hearkening back to an exclusionary ‘golden age’ the costuming includes makeup that makes the skin appear lighter. We see at least Wille and Maddison in. Having this kind of make up is so so exclusionary - because like the wigs that Felice refuses to wear, to engage with the activity properly non-white students are being tacitly encouraged to lighten their skin and white students are being tacitly encouraged to value whiteness
And yes it’s a fun dress up heritage activity that includes make up for the reenactment purposes - I get that heritage is literally what I’m studying BUT one of the big discussions within the heritage field is the ongoing question of whose heritage is celebrated and why?
For example - it makes no sense for Hillerska to host a 17th Century ball, the school opened in 1901, there is no 17th century heritage of the school, it’s imagined heritage that they are utilising. If the ball was a turn of the 20th century ball (the Edwardian fashion era in English parlance) that would make sense as an engagement with the schools heritage. This heritage may still be racially charged but not as racially charged as the imagined 17th Century heritage ball.
So why 17th C? Well I think the school is invested in training up nobility and royalty, individuals who do have heritage dating back to that period, who are likely to imagine that period as the golden era before the class system began to be (slightly) more equal. Hillerska despite having none of its own 17th C heritage is imagining heritage for its students to help maintain an increasingly shaky class and racial system that has it’s students at the top.
It’s therefore pretty significant that Simon is not in a 17th C costume. He has no 17th C noble heritage and unlike Sara (and Alexander, and Nils) is not interested in pretending that he does.
It is also interesting that Felice, who is on a journey of self acceptance and identity beyond her social climbing white family, only partially dresses in the pretence of 17th C noble glory.
Finally, it is interesting that Wille, desperately does not want to put this costume on, and is crying as he does so. He does not want this awful legacy, it keeps him from Simon and it makes him transform himself into something he doesn’t want to be.
