seeing a couple posts about 3.06 claiming it's ooc or strange of Simon to forgive Wille for all the other things just because he abdicates, and I do think it's a very fair to say their relationship isn't at a perfect point by the end of the season, HOWEVER
giving up his title is a behemoth of a grand gesture, whether he did it for Simon or not, and I think Simon is a 17(?16?)yo who is very in love with Wille, it's not unrealistic for him to be swayed by that
most importantly, Simon says he never gave up on them, he gave up on the royal family! Simon is explicitly willing to fight for their relationship, and to work out their problems, he just realises he can't do it if Wille stays within the role and path he's on
all this to say it's impossible to know if they last or not, but Wille gave them a fighting chance by giving himself a fighting chance, and that's all Simon's asked for<3

The full list of every Todoroki family panel:
That's it. That's the list. 7 panels. Not a single double spread or even a full-page image. Actually, there is no panel where all their faces are visible.
I don't think there is any other prominent group / dynamic in the manga that got an endgame of nothing but low-quality, tiny panels without a piece of art emphasizing them as a unit. It's just really weird... That after more than a decade, the family is finally together, and that moment after the long build-up doesn't get a single "impact" art. A framing that shows that something big happened here.
And if this is about Shouto "becoming who he is meant to be" why is there no double spread or a big page art to emphasize it?
I'm not sure if that last panel is supposed to be Enji's "father" moment - but it's certainly not framed like it. You need a magnifying glass to even see what's happening, in a chapter otherwise full of gorgeous art.

Post s3e6 what happens now?
I am begining to write an 'after' fic which has brought up a lot of questions and speculation that I'd like to share. Yes willmon is endgame but also where do they go from here?
Class
Money (what are the Erikssons doing with their money from August?)
The rift between Wille’s elitist upbringing and Simon’s economical and political beliefs
Wille needs to learn and figure out what he wants his relationship with politics and money to be
Abdication
Wille is giving up the crown but he now has to go through that process
Official meetings
What is his new title going to be
What money does he have not has Crown Prince
The official statement of abdication and handing the duty to August
Figuring out the PR strategy for this as well
Wille isn’t free automatically he is going to price for a little while longer while they introduce August more prominently to the public so that the crown isn’t handed off to seemingly a stranger
They also have to figure out a way to make sure it is clear that this is a choice Wille made for himself rather than because of his very publicised relationship
Making sure there won’t be speculation that he is leaving voluntarily because the Swedish monarchy doesn’t want a queer monarchy because that would be a media shitstorm
School
Where is Wille going to school? And Simon?
Even with abdication he is still a part of the Swedish aristocracy would he go to another posh school?
I think not with everything that happened at Hilerska but its also the thing he knows, so how does he figure that out?
Where does Simon go? He wouldn’t want to go to another rich kid school
Will they go to school together?
If so what interest will their classmates take in them, how would they maintain their privacy
Even apart what would their privacy look like
What would their relationship look like if they do decide to not go to school together?
Same questions for Felice and Sara because they also have to go to school they are all children and education is very important lol
Familial relations
Wille and his parents need to repair their relationship
Do Simon and Sara start working on a better relationship Micke?
I want Wille to get to meet Micke I think that interaction would be great
Public relations
Yes they are free but sadly the public doesn’t entirely care
Luckily on an international scale the Swedish monarchy doesn’t hold much attention but maybe that has changed since Wille’s scandals and then open queer relationship? This is never addressed in the show
But amongst Swedes especially after abdication people will have a vested interest
Think Harry and Megan (obvs the UK royals are a much bigger scale but the point stands)
Like people still really care what they're up to, and Megan and Simon have those similar experiences of being a poc partner of a european royal family member, the harassment doesn’t suddenly stop once you've left the direct limelight of royal life
Platonic relationships
What is Wille’s relationship with Rosh and Ayub?
They have witnessed every thing that Simon has gone through because of his relationship with Wille and now they are back together again
They do respect him because of his choice to leave the monarchy, they are maybe not even surprised because they did witness the “I could be free with you” speech
But do they trust him?
On that note does Linda? She definitely cares for Wille but she also knows how this has affected her son.
Does Wille have to prove his intentions and himself?
Can he Rosh and Ayub truly form a friendship? How will that happen
Simon, Wille, Sara, and Felice have forged their own kind of found family through shared traumas and love for one another, how to Rosh and Ayub fit into that new dynamic? Will there be conflict because of this?
What does a friend group consisting of all of them look like?
Other than mega gay

walki with me... tommy kinard calling buck "baby"..... tommy kinard kissing buck..... tommy kinard gently holding buck's waist.... tommy kinard making buck laugh.... tommy kinard listening to buck ramble with stars in his eyes.... tommy kinard peppering kisses all over buck's face as buck blushes..... tommy kinard letting buck set the pace for their relationship..... tommy kinard calling buck "evan".... buck learning to love his own name because how can he not when tommy says it so gently..... buck sitting in tommy kinard's lap..... buck getting hurt on a call and tommy is there right away taking care of him.... buck waking up in the morning with his head pillowed on tommy kinard's chest as the sunlight streams in through the window and casts tommy in a sort of halo and his breath catches and buck is so happy he made it through his twenties and the tsunami and truck falling on him and the embolism and the lightning strike and any of other myriad of ways the universe has had it out for him because he gets to wake up to tommy motherfucking kinard in his bed as the sunlight gently cradles them in her embrace
("baby," tommy says, eyes still closed, less than two seconds later, hand brushing along buck's spine to card his fingers through buck's hair, "you're thinking too loud. go back to sleep."
buck honest to god flushes at the endearment. because that's what he is, tommy's baby. he's tommy's baby. jesus fucking christ, he feels like combusting. burying his head in his boyfriend's (boyfriend!!!) chest, buck tries not to whine.
"don't wanna," he whispers, peeking up at tommy, "wanna look at you."
tommy's other arm comes up to settle along his waist and buck wants to, fuckin', purr or whatever with how right it feels. tommy cracks open his eyelids to peer down at him.
"evan," his boyfriend (boyfriend!!!) says fondly.
and that's another thing he never knew about himself until he started dating tommy. he loves his name. not his nickname or his last name or buckaroo or any variant of that but his first name. he fuckin' loves the name "evan" or maybe he just likes the way tommy says it. and tommy has so many ways he says buck's name.
there's a soft, whispered "evan" in the mornings, and fond "evan" in the afternoons. there's an "evan" that tommy says like he's holding 3 tons of solid gold in his hands. there's an "evan" that he can barely get out through his laughs when buck bursts out with a fun fact at a wrong time. there's a choked-off, bitten, "ev-" when they're in bed at night and tommy can't believe buck is under him, gorgeous and panting. and there's the panicked "EVAN!" on a call gone wrong and there's an angry "evan" when buck doesn't take care of himself and there's a worried, two-syllable "ev-an" when he comes home with more bruises than he left with and there's-,
well the point is that there's a lot of different "evan"s that tommy says these day. he's going to catalogue them all one day. like his very own personal auditory archive. something to pull out on his off days.
"evan," tommy says fondly, "i'm not goin' anywhere sweetheart. i'll be here when you wake up. so go back to sleep, i'll be right where you left me."
and well-, buck forgets sometimes that this is a two-way street. that he may be tommy's baby but tommy's his boyfriend too. that tommy's practically required by law to be here when he wakes up. (oh by law?, he can almost hear his boyfriend snark. buck's bites the inside if his cheek to stop himself from giggling.) and more than some vague, ephemeral, Boyfriend Laws™️, tommy wants to be here when he wakes up. this is something tommy is actively choosing to do.
so when tommy says, "go back to sleep sweetheart" and "i'm not going anywhere, evan", well, who is buck to question that? he burrows deeper into the warm cocoon tommy has made, and let's his boyfriend's heartbeat lull him back to sleep.)

This scene will forever not make me cackle, snort, laugh, giggle, kick my feet, flap my arms, wave my hands, shake my head, roll on the floor, throw something a the screen, scream, shout, yell, snort, scoff, stim, cry, bark, make a hole on the wall, bang my head against the nearest solid object, subject my mind to memory erasing and laugh.

Now that I know just how close Season 5 is, i can only think about the aftermath of the Byler kiss[es?]. because it's gonna be all over everywhere for awhile, but for a bit it's probably gonna be like a bomb went off for a bit. Like, "wow." and then "What next? We got what we wanted."
I keep having dreams about this specifically too-
Like, the kiss happens, and then one of them dies and the entire internet is like "NO NO NO WAIT GO BACK"
or, kiss, blah blah blah, haha just kidding BITCH it was a VECNA DREAM!!!
