the entire school singing simon’s song after he’d been an outsider never really feeling like he fit in there, is so important to me, he did changed people at the school with his music, this was Simon’s revolution 🥹

Just experienced such an unusual burst of BBC Merlin fan energy, and after having spent a good portion of my night surrounding myself with young royals content, I can safely ask why more people don’t talk about how Merthur walked so Wilmon could run??? Also. The knights. The knights are stupid and funny and chaotic lil shits, and thinking about them gives me Forest Ridge named first years (literally just Henry, Walter, and Alex) vibes. Blonde royal with dark-haired “commoner” best friends to lovers speed run (I don’t care that I remain delusional over a decade after the Merlin finale was released, they were SOULMATES, two sides of the same coin and all that idc), the queer-magic metaphor in Merlin and how Wille is queer (unlabeled) and Arthur was literally BORN of magic. As in, there is never any confirmation as to whether Arthur could have a talent for learning magic, but being born of it sounds pretty innate to me (something something unlabeled-uncertainty Wille???). And then Simon and Merlin knowing exactly who they are from the moment we meet them (Simon is out to anyone who cares enough to know, Merlin was born with his magic and has used it throughout his childhood). The “commoner” boyfriends being constantly overlooked or disparaged for their lack of status, but their royals (eventually) get to the point where they couldn’t care less about status. Arthur talking about dragging Merlin away to live on a farm away from the royal life —> Wille telling Simon in s2 that he’d give August the crown so they can be together. The royals having a really shit parent who doesn’t want to accept them or change to the country/kingdom. Sad one, but the “commoner” boyfriends sorta losing themselves in the other guy (Merlin losing his innocence so completely because of how much he puts into protecting Arthur vs Simon being Wille’s ONLY support for most of s1 and the only one Wille feels he can really talk to, prior to his and Felice’s friendship developing). Meta one, but the royals’ character development being a goddamn rollercoaster at times, but they’re getting there.

You can’t say that these two shows aren’t so perfectly aligned with each other in so many ways. The queer-magic metaphor alone goes so crazy!!! I love the conversations about heartstopper and rwrb in connection to young royals but give our OG queer-coded royals some time in the spotlight too, it’s super fun!!!

Young Royals gave us the best ending of the history and that final scene will be my roman empire for a very long time.

[thinkingaboutyoungroyals]

Was the final episode cheesy AF? Yes.

Did everything magically fall into its place and every character got their closure? Yes.

Was it the best ending to move on from being obsessed with this show for so many years? Also yes.

[thinkingaboutyoungroyals]

Wille is so dramatic that instead of texting Simon that he abdicated, he ran after a running car full speed, screaming Simon‘s name like some lunatic, and then stood there like a cardboard cutout like: 🧍‍♂️hey

Young Royals S1 - S3 openings & endings 😭

[thinkingaboutyoungroyals]

this picture is everything to me. with just a glance, one can see his relief, his happiness, as well as his realization of the freedom he craved for so long.

the disheveled hair, unbuttoned shirt, and just his posture altogether looks so comfortable, and it screams happiness, and I love it.

watching this scene gave me a sense of relief and happiness too and THAT is what peak cinema is

[thinkingaboutyoungroyals]

Maybe i'm the only one who felt it but

Sara and Felix you are my endgame too ❤️❤️

[thinkingaboutyoungroyals]

I have not enjoyed a show in the longest time the way I enjoyed “Young Royals.” It made me laugh, cry, angry, speechless, anxious… every single emotion.

To think that I stumbled on this show by accident. It’s been such a great ride and I’ll always cherish it.

Wille, Simon, Sara, Felice and even August…. The most genuine and human characters I have ever seen portrayed in a piece of media.

I’m sad it’s ended but it left me with a lot of hope. I’ll never forget this story and these characters. They deserve that ending.

And I’m so honored to have witnessed it.

ok but why is no one talking about the choir singing Simon's song from season 2 as the last song from the Hilerska choir??? and the fact that, neither Simon nor Wilhelm knew about it????? I WAS SHAKING CRYING, AND BAWLING MY ASS OFF

Vincent from young royals: I can excuse being gay but I draw the line at being poor

Young Royals fandom right now:

The musical moments in the last episode? Broke me. How Simon incorporated all the earth-shattering things Wille said to him in his song. How loving someone does NOT have to be a revolution, because love is just, loving someone with all you have. How they changed each other for the better. How the choir sung Simon's song instead of the original Hillis song. A final breaking of traditions and expectations, and that too by a song about THE relationship which stands at the inception of this end. How the song encapsulated the feeling of that end for everyone. Simon being the voice of change.
