I fucking love that young royals really highlights the fact that no one can fix you but you. They have Wille and Simon trying to work around the horrible things going on together, and it doesn't really work because the biggest problem is that Wille is suffering so much under what the are trying to push through. At the beginning of s3 they have the "as long as I have you" kind of mentality and we see how quickly that falls apart. Having each other is not enough, and it shouldn't be. Wille needs to leave the life that is destroying him. Having simon in that life made it better, but it still was not enough. Simon recognizes that at the end of s3e5. Wille thought that all he needed was Simon because he has been so horribly mistreated by every adult in his life that the moment he is shown some unconditional love, he clings to it. Because, let me remind you, this kid is 17 years old. The ending is so incredibly impactful because Wille is finally choosing himself and his happiness. Not Simon's, not his moms. His. And that is beautiful.
I don’t know if I’ve ever made a post ab this but for Christmas I got custom-made winter converse (like insulated ones) that had “huh?” embroidered on them (from that one scene in House MD with the kid that House wanted to chop the hand off of and him and Cuddy went to Warner and Cuddy was like “Are you being intentionally dense?” and House wnet “huh?” with a hilarious face)
ANYWAYS back to the point I was so sad that with temperatures rising I couldn’t wear my “huh?”-converse (they were literally my whole personality and it is one of my most used phrases)
My mom came into my room today holding two shoeboxes and dropped them on my bed and just left??? the room???? without saying anything?????
I opened them and lo and behold: I got two new pairs of custom-made *summer* converse with “huh?” embroidered on them!!!!
WILLIAM TUCKER BONER?????? THATS HIS LEGAL NAME???????????? I THOUGHT HE WAS JOKING ABOUT THAT BUT NOPE AO3 CONFIRMS IT. HIS LAST NAME IS BONER. I'M GOING TO BUST A FUCKING LUNG
I'm going insane, I'm fully going insane, I know I'm late to the party but I finally watched the first episode of Interview With the Vampire, and holy shit. They really went there, they finally did it: Louis and Lestat went canon.
The blueprint for the original toxic, codependent, covered in blood, "let's go and kill together, my love", gay vampires and murder husbands are back, and they went all in.
And I got to watch it? No take backs? No it's up for interpretations? No will they won't theys? No their relationship transcends the physical? No Vampires don't have sex and therefore cannot really be gay arguments?
This feels like a big fat fuck you to all the half assed going canon scenes we've had in other shows before. They did it on the first episode and went all in.
I don't know if you guys understand what I mean when I say the went canon. I'm not talking about a confession that they can easily cut out. Oh no, the show is clearly all about their relationship, just like the book was. But they lay it all out. I've never seen a show go out like this.
Like they really said: so I've heard you enjoy the fucked up, toxic and decadent Louis and Lestat relationship? So how about I give you levitating gay vampire sex? Some kissing while covered in blood inside a church? Would you like a scene of Lestat killing two priests, denouncing god and telling a repressed gay Louis he loves him and he deserves to be loved so come and be his eternal gay vampire serial killer husband?
