First of all, I'm sorry, this video is a mess. School started last week when I started this, and I've been so fkin stressed out already -- this edit kinda became my comfort activity. Second, the fact that this series isn't renewed yet bothers me. Third, I've been spiraling down the YR universe lately (again), so here's a Young Royals and Lana Del Rey edit because it makes sense in my fantasy.
Wilhelm's life is every shade between black and white. And the only source of color he had, Simon, he can't even have. He has so much shit to deal with -- inheriting the crown, pressure from his mother, literally everything about August, the death of Erik, and his coming-of-age as a queer teen. This is what I wanted to highlight in this edit. I just can't imagine having such immense pressure at a young age and losing the only person he can genuinely talk to, Erik. And don't even get me started with his heartbreak at the end of the season. I completely understand why he did what he did, and I have so much respect for Simon for having the strength to "break up" with Wilhelm. And knowing that Wilhelm will quite literally fall into a million pieces without Simon by his side, makes everything even more depressing. Thinking about this always hits hard especially for a mentally unstable queer like me.
