Thought, feelings, and opinions on the YR3 finale
Far be it from me to rain on anyone's parade, but by God, the 'walk into the sunset' felt so cheap, lazy, and narratively unsatisfying.
Yes yes we all love love, love prevails all obstacles and suffices in all lacking, and now that they've trotted off into The Great Unknown and dived into The Vast Lake Of Possibility, it's all rainbows and sunshine from here on. Right?
If so, why does the rest of S3's build up stand in contradiction with the ending?
All the incompatibilities Simon and Wille have when it comes to class, wealth, social standing, etc, were really put under a spotlight this season and have not gone away just because they've had a little sun-kissed make-up. Once the car journey is over, they have to actually talk about how they want their joined life to look—quite the feat at 16/17 years old—and judging by Wille's treatment of Simon throughout the rest of the series, I don't see it the road ahead being paved with glory.
We blame (excuse?) a lot of Wille's behaviours this season on external pressures. And yes, Wille was trying to balance his duty to the crown with his romance and was under intense stress with his sick mother and looming ascendence to the throne, but a lot of his shitty behaviour also came from him, as a person. Those behaviours might be learned and cultivated in an upper class context, but they're still his. He chose to shush Simon in the tent then poke at the sore spot that is Simon's litigation settlement. He chose to shout at his mother instead of pulling her over for a more sensible conversation. He chose to pass on the pressures of the court to Simon regarding Simon's online presence, rather than discussing it with him or pushing back against Farima.
And yes, I know he's sixteen and troubled, but troubled sixteen year olds also have agency and personality and decision making abilities. As much as a lot of Wille's poor behaviour is a result of external pressures, we can't blame all his actions on external pressures either, lest be become a flat nothing of a character.
S3 ep 1-5 presented us with what seemed to be a fundamental incompatibility between Simon and Wille—as people, outside of any institutions. And the 'walking off into the sunset' ending glosses over all of that character and relationship build-up for the first five episodes. They even created all the mirroring resolutions for Wilmon ("I hope you have a nice summer" etc.), only to stomp on them with what? "Mom says it's ok for me not to be King anymore! Yay!" and that's it, a big silver bullet to all their problems, now they can live happily ever after.
Speaking of Kristina—Wille just asked nicely not to be King anymore and that was it? All it took was one polite conversation he failed to have with his parents for seventeen episodes and now he's "free"? Yes there was build up to Kristina's decision, but it was also way too easy. They finally get to have a grown up conversation with Wille—I don't think they're just going to let him go, like that, after 5 minutes in the car. They still want him to be King.
And even if he's not king, he's still going to be a Royal. He might not take the throne, but he will still have titles, land, duties, and a place in the Royal family tree. He's not going to be a damn bus driver now. The only thing is is that he might no longer have access to the resources he needs—namely personal security— to live the life of someone inextricably in the public eye, and that doesn't make him freer.
Look, I get that Wille and Simon's romantic relationship was central loci of the show, so it makes total sense why so many people were rooting for a happy ending. I begrudge no one, of course—there is no one way to consume or enjoy the show, and everyone will take from it what they need.
But if they were going for a Big Sappy Ending, I wish they wouldn't have make the cracks in Wilmon's relationship so enormous that they can't just be papered over, as it feels they have in ep6.
Long Live King August.

A double win for Kristina!!! What a feat. Well deserved. Is this the first time that Staff and Readers all agree for the same actress as performer of the month? Readers choice is a no brainer, but to be chosen by the staff as well is a big deal!

Wille calling his mum to complain about Simon being on a date with someone else is such a teenage move. We know that it is and we love that it is. 
Dude just wants to talk to his mum about his teenage angst, but Kristina doesn’t know how to separate being the queen and being his mum.
She can’t separate being Queen Kristina mother of the Crown Prince and Kristina mother of Wilhelm. And maybe there is no way for her to separate the two in her mind. Maybe its an impossible feat for her. But Wille so desperately wants her to see him as a son, as her child, and not an heir to the throne. It doesn’t matter why Kristina behaves the way she does, the harm is the harm all the same.
I think that phone call is a final realisation for Wilhelm, that he is never going to have the relationship with his mother that he wants. I think a nonroyal mother, responding to her son being upset that his love is on a date with someone else, would respond empathetically. ‘Sorry, son. It must suck having to see that’. Instead he gets ‘uh, okay?’
That’s what makes the scene where his parents arrive at Hillerska for the 120 years celebration so painful. You can see how he feels greeting his parents, the absolute sadness and resolution. This is it. This is his relationship with his parents. He’s always gonna feel like his mum never has his back.

I was tagged by @troubled-mind thank you so much!
🎶4 albums that I've been listening to lately🎶
I, too, am more of a playlists kind of person, so I thought I would have trouble finding four albums I've been recently listening to - turns out it's actually a bit hard to restrict it to four??
"The Boys" by Girls' Generation
I've been talking about Kpop recently, which got me back in my SNSD feels. This one has a super catchy tracklist that never fails to put me in a great mood (Fave: "OSCAR")
"Celestial Blues" by King Woman
I love that album, it's dark, heavy, and Kristina Esfandiari's voice is just. So good. It's about paradise lost and rebirth and religious trauma, and I rarely can listen to only one song. (Fave: "Golgotha")
"The Horror and the Wild" by The Amazing Devil
A beautiful folk album, with haunting voices and melodies, and beautiful lyrics about love, loss, and relationships. I never tire of that one and I regularly sit through the whole thing with pleasure. (Faves: "Fair" and "That Unwanted Animal")
"Kiss of Death" by IC3PEAK
I came across this one completely randomly via spotify (it was the song "Vampir" I think), and I rarely do that but I did check the whole album. I don't really know how to describe it, it's metal and electronic and punk, there are growls and angelic vocals, it's a little messy but I always have a great time with this album. (Fave: "Червь / Worm. (Feat. Kim Dracula)")
I will tag @scienceoftheidiot @howdydowdy @machikeita @benkaaoi @fandomfairyuniverse @sparklyeyedhimbo and @petrichoraline if you feel like doing it!

Anyone up for some Fall Previews? 👀 (feat. my commentary)
Tumblr media
Excited for Vanna & Robert/Holly
Love that Dex is still being a hellraiser, not sure who this person is for Sona unless it's the Willow BS
Don't care about Crew - NEXT!
Tumblr media
I BETTER see Liz and Liz herself make decisions about getting help. F*nn can die in a ditch
Hate that Ava is still stuck with her trash ass husband, and if the attacker really is Esme and/or Ryan...😒
This is so vague - what is Laura gonna do? She's been so removed from everything so far
Apparently there is a love letter Spencer wrote to Trina soooooo 👀👀👀
Kill off Truck Nuts. That is all.
@anyathefandom TAITFORD!!! 🎉
Let's just hope the most Jex does is kiss because I really cannot stomach another fucking age gap between actors (on top of Joss propping). Also I wonder what Dex does to fuck over Sonny AND Michael 👀 I knew you wouldn't let us down, Dexter!!!
Tumblr media
Not a fan of them seemingly committing Chase to being a popstar but I'm happy to see Chalynn is still a united front! 🥰
Georgie is absolutely the best and I really hope this Austin/Mason stuff amounts to something
Don't tell me we're gonna be waiting even longer for this paternity thing smh
Twist of fate? If it's not Dexsha or something actually tangible to Sasha that helps her then I don't care for it
Yawn to Alexis/Gregory, hyped for Alexis/Kristina. Very excited to see more Krissy content
I have no idea what that Spinelli paragraph is saying. Either give me a nervous breakdown or trash the story completely
YAY MORE SELINA!!!

So,
Lady Celista takes flight!
Earlier this evening I did my first public reading of material from my upcoming sequel to The Ballad of Shuswap Joe. It's called The Long, Lonely Flight of Lady Celista and it's about my folklore legend's love interest, a British aristocrat named Celista who traversed the Atlantic in an aeroplane back in the 1930s.
Kristina and Aza accompanied me out to the Shawnigan Lake Community Centre, where I performed alongside three other local storytellers: Qwiyahwultuhw, Sylvia Swift and Laurie Giffin. I brought along my six-foot painting of Celista, which gave the audience an immediate visual to associate with my protagonist. Her appearance is based on my wife, who I pointed out in the front row.
Thanks to the Cowichan South Arts Guild and the Shawnigan Lake Museum for organizing the event, and inviting me to participate. It was a real privilege to share the stage with such talent, and having my squalling baby in the front row really added to the ambience.
The best moment of the night came when an audience member approached me afterwards with a friend to ask a question.
"So Lady Celista, did she really do all that?"
I wasn't sure what she was asking, so I asked her to clarify.
"Did she really fly her aeroplane across the Atlantic in the 1930s? Is that part true?"
I let her wonder for a moment before answering.
"No. It's all fiction."
She smiled as I explained that this was raft guide humour, that we tell tall tales that have just enough elements of truth to them that the average listener will believe them without question. We tell stories on the river about electric river eels, about historic lumberjack feats and about river channels that gobbled up entire families.
She nodded, said that made sense to her.
"I kind of wish it was true, though.”

Best Indie Games of 2023
For those who ever tire of the glitz and glamor of the mainstream, indie video games can present a few of the most unusual experiences within the business. The hole in high quality between indie and AAA has shrunken to the purpose of near-imperceivable in 2023, with artistic visions that far exceed their smaller budgets. Making an attempt to slim down the sector to a few entries is not any easy feat, however the staff at Twinfinite has in the end anointed our trinity of indie greatness and the greatest indie sport of 2023. For those who’ve already given these video games a go, you’ll know what we imply — and if not, what are you ready for? You’re lacking out on some absolute gems.
third Place: Sea of Stars
Tumblr media
Picture Supply: Sabotage Studio Freelance Author Grace Black: When the query of standout Indie titles of 2023 is introduced up, Sea of Stars is my fast first thought. This sport takes the traditional nostalgic pixel RPG formulation and enhances issues with beautiful graphics, enjoyable gameplay, and a easy story that revolves across the tightly-knit friendship held between the three lovable important characters; Zale, Valere, and Garl. These characters are heartwarming, and make the title an absolute pleasure to expertise with their tender, heartfelt speeches and hilarious sarcastic quips in direction of one another and the world they reside in. Talking of the world, the pixel artwork fashion in Sea of Stars is nothing lower than beautiful, with each space holding high-quality aesthetics which can be dropped at life by lovely dynamic lighting, creating an actual sense of magic. Each single location you can discover is shiny, vibrant, eye-catching, and distinctive, which makes exploration really feel a lot enjoyable. Inside these varied areas are a sequence of distinctive monsters to battle in opposition to, with battles that make the most of timing-based rhythm enter for dealing additional injury or blocking incoming hits, which makes fight really feel that rather more interactive within the old-school turn-based setup. Sea of Stars actually is a heartwarming story that proves each character (even these with out magical talents) has their strengths, every of which is embraced with nothing however love and appreciation, and a superb gameplay expertise for any indie fan to take pleasure in.
2nd Place: Espresso Discuss Episode II: Hibiscus & Butterfly
Tumblr media
Picture Supply: Toge Productions Affiliate Editor Tony Cocking: I’ve by no means actually been one for telenovelas within the conventional sense, and but, after my time with Espresso Discuss Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, I can affirm that I completely get the enchantment now. Technically, Espresso Discuss is a visible novel, although I don’t suppose that precisely describes how vibrant and alive the world feels. Fleshed out characters new and outdated wander into your twilight cafe, searching for a heat brew and a sympathetic ear. The gameplay side of accurately serving their desired order could seem secondary to the enchantment of watching the drama unfold, and but your barista abilities can very effectively sway the affect of your clients’ lives. It’s the type of sport you wish to play time and again to see the place your botched brews despatched a selected narrative awry. Maybe you didn’t hearken to the specifics of their order, otherwise you uncared for to ship a requested merchandise. Even probably the most studious gamers will slip up right here and there, and it’s this natural system of trial-and-error that creates a dynamic, fascinating environment you received’t wish to go away. Additionally, I’m calling it now: this is without doubt one of the the definitive soundtracks of the year. Andrew Jeremy’s lo-fi tunes are your ticket to the best chill vibes.
Winner: Dave the Diver
Tumblr media
Picture Supply: MINTROCKET through Twinfinite Workers Author Kristina Ebanez: If I had to decide on one of the vital sudden video games of the 12 months, Dave the Diver could be on the prime of the checklist. It’s an idea I by no means knew I wanted, and now I can’t appear to get sufficient of it. What initially caught my eye was its extremely distinctive gameplay fashion of operating a sushi restaurant whereas exploring the huge sea. The duality of all of it makes Dave the Diver really feel like a number of entries packed into one, particularly with its up to date content material that furthers its longevity. One of many many components I love about this sport is how important every session may be. Any creatures you catch, regardless of how large or small, can be utilized for the menu of the day, in the end shaping the best way what you are promoting runs. Regardless that these sea quests can appear minor, it’s far more significant whenever you see your laborious work being utilized to profit your expertise. The restaurant will solely run in case you acquire the product, and vice-versa whenever you’re strapped for money with diving. The 2 mix beautifully collectively, and it’s exceptionally satisfying whenever you’ve mastered each of them. However simply whenever you suppose it may well’t get any higher, the storyline and solid are the true MVPs of Dave the Diver. I continuously discovered myself smiling and guffawing at all the cute and chaotic moments that Dave typically will get himself into. Now, I hope to find one other gem like this in 2024 whereas patiently ready for a DTD sequel. We hope you loved this checklist of one of the best indie video games of 2023 almost as a lot as we loved taking part in them. It’s awards season right here at Twinfinite, so be sure that to take a look at our different prizewinners, together with our anime of the 12 months or the highest underrated anime it's essential to watch.
