No words can do justice to how EXCITED I am about this. 💜

Lisa! The Permanent Rain Press!! TWO parts!!! This is what I silently, secretly wished for after Lisa's Instagram post, but I didn't believe we would really get it. THANK YOU, Lisa. 😭💜

And only one day after the interview with Linnéa Roxeheim will come out, whaaaat?! What a weekend.

Will definitely devour both of these and cherish them for a long time to come, as I have done with all the other fantastic interviews with the YR cast and crew that The PR Press has gifted us over the past 3 years.

@thepermanentrainpress THANK YOU for continually feeding the fandom with all this wonderful material, you really are the best!!! 💜

THANK YOU, LISA!

As a 20-year veteran of fandom...

- who's been through the HP epilogue, Torchwood, Merlin, the Magicians, Supernatural, Sherlock...

- just years and years of disappointing canon couples

.... thank you, thank you, thank you.

No, seriously. Thank you!!!!

I've never been so happy and satisfied with a show that I was entrenched in fandom for. I'm grinning and crying at the same time.

(if you ever read this) I hope you enjoyed tonight with the fans! Lots of love to you, the cast, and the crew. Looking forward to seeing your future projects.

One thing I will say about the s3 poster is that they clearly learned their lesson regarding the audience's level of investment in characters that aren't Wille and Simon. I think the biggest issue with season 2 was Lisa's own hubris and her trying to "make fetch happen", so to speak (the way she tried to make Marcus happen when he was never gonna happen), and trying to turn the series into an ensemble drama when there was never enough time for that in 6 episodes and straying so far away from what made people love the series to begin with. I'm really hoping they scaled the story back in s3 - there's still only 6 episodes and I'd love for Wille and Simon to finally get the relationship development they deserve.

The fact that there are people out there that have known how it all ends for months while we out here suffering

help, now that i have stopped tearing up at every mention of the series, the young royals forever documentary and the bts videos have brought my past obsession with film-making back-

👀

my post series recommendation is that if you've never listened to the orchestral version of hero by faouzia while thinking about Wilhelm and Simon's utter trainwreck of a romance, you should. I think you should.

After the end of Young Royals, Edvin and Omar need to give us forever and ever till the end of timeeeeesssss Wilmon coded photos and videos!!

it feels so odd to me that people suddenly feel "robbed" that THAT scene wasn't in the last episode (to the point of harassing lisa/omar/the cast about it, apparently?? what the fuck is wrong with you people, jfc the entitlement 🤬) because when you think about it... doesn't that scene, as described, feel like an ending? like an ENDING ending, not just a season ending. an ending to the SHOW. it feels very final.

it's always nice to see wille and simon happy and together, and of course we all feel we didn't get enough of that in season two because of the nature of the season, but i also won't sacrifice a potential season three for one tiny "nice" scene. there are so many shows that felt like they'd come full circle and then feel stretched out when they continue from there (gåsmamman ended at season four, don't @ me). i don't want YR to feel like that. do you WANT the show to end at season two? leaving the season ending somewhat ambiguous (but optimistic! it was an optimistic ending! what the fuck is there to complain about!) not only increases our chances of us getting a season three, but also gives the writing team more avenues to take the story down on. do people not see this? is it just me living in an alternate reality where things make sense??

i don't know if it's just the fact that i've spent more time on god's internet than most of you have been alive, but i really feel like media literacy and just the barest grasp of storytelling is completely lost on fandom these days, in favor of immediate and constant gratification. and that breaks my heart. 💔

PS: DO NOT ATTACK THE CAST OR CREW OVER THIS DUMBSHIT "AFFRONT." they are doing what they feel is best for the story they're trying to tell. if you don't like it, you don't have to watch. learn to take disappointment like generations before you have. it builds character! 🙄 i swear, for all y'all fucking cry about bullying, you sure do a lot of it-- and toward the people who are giving their all to entertain you, too. gratitude and respect are lost arts.

ENYA HAS A LOVE INTEREST AT LAST AND THEY ARE MAKING ME CRAZY 🤍🤍

watching young royals season 2 finally and the whole first three episodes have been leading up to this rowing competition and it sin't until the third episode that you realize it's with another group of dorms in the school and that it's not an actual rowing competition they're virtually racing on rowing machines hooked up to a computer lmaoooooo

how did simon get on the crew team? like august was talking about how they needed to come to practice every day if they wanted to be on the team (mostly to wille but still). august despises simon. i dont think simon had that high hopes that he would get on the team. and yet here he is on the team.
