wilmon in season one | young love, old money

#d e v e s t a t i o n #young royals #shows #I can rely on tali for 3 things #1: class tension discourse #2: yelling about the fact that Simon is his mothers son (and that wilhelm is as blind to this as he is the extent of their class divide) #3: understanding that the point of an FMV is to match scene to lyric with such deadly accuracy you inflict psychological damage #thank you for realising our vision my beloved

#omar your acting I'm serverly not alright #young royals #shows #these kids are so terminal they're just gonna go round the same roundabout for a 4th time and I'm just like 'yeah...they would' #'being with you is a constant trial by fire/I am physically incapable of giving you up' #they have so many problems and I'm so compelled by it #utterly transfixed #love is a car crash in fact #also what if I go on stike until I get beautiful gifs of Sara because I can never find any if I have to fix this problem myself I will #on that note these gifs are so pretty op

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.

#shows #young royals #I have loved this show truly #and it can never not be political for me given where I grew up and my own convictions but I don't think the crew copped out of the politics #maybe it's a gentler version of the story than reality would allow but it's a wonderful example of #thoughtful naturalistic visual storytelling that is largely uninterested #in overexplaining or justifying it's narrative #while still remaining loyal to it's thematic baseline #I'd love to actually get around to some of that meta I vauged about post s2 on class and setting and possibly I will in May #when I have room for thoughts #because I do still want to make my points about how the personalisation of politics usually makes people blind to the systemic issue at han #which I think the show balanced pretty nicely #if you grew up or are growing up in a constitutional monarchy and you're not really engaged with your local republican movement #maybe now would be a good time to start thinking about it #a lot of people think 'well it's an archaic system so it should go' and leave it at that but the issues run so much deeper #than who the head of state is and this stuff is really worth considering if this is the political system the currently defines your future #anyway I'll put my praxis down for the time being #and just take a moment to appriciate this fantastic variation on the age old theme #isn't love really just a form of madness #like doesn't first love just kind of make you utterly lose your mind in a way that could conceivably bring empires to their knees #in all of it's single minded innocence and utter irrationality #cause yeah....yeah I remember that

You have to love all of us. Then I love all of you.

THE MONSTER HUNTING TRIO ...

𖥻 EDIT : A STUDY IN / aesthetics, at a glance — Jonathan Byers, Nancy Wheeler, and Steve Harrington.

#stoncy #st #shows #General Outlaw King #speaking of upcoming final seasons that are going to do me in #I will forever be soft on the monster hunting trio #not within the scope of canon but somewhere in there is the 12 season early 2000s poly romance of my dreams #I love the mess the mess is important actually let's talk about class and gender and the legacy of reaganism #let's talk about the ethical complexities of journalism and selling your art for profit lets talk about underfunded public schools- #ah wait no BD spoliers there *cough cough* #my kingdom for people still making mh3 content in this economy kisses to op

while we are here. any other hot takes to share

sure why not. it’s weird that when the crows’ class struggle is so integral to their characters and the plot of soc, people root for them, but are incapable of doing the same thing for drafted anti monarchist poor boy malyen oretsev

#op you sexy sexy dog #I couldn't have put it better myself #if I had a penny for everytime I felt unproductive rage at a viewership/readership for having dog shite class consciousness #I would be able to pay off my student debt #the show apparently decided to completly ignore Nikolai's Lantsov typical classisim and while I think that paddy and archie are #an absolute delight #I miss the themes that were so much...heaiver in the books #I miss my messy interrogations of nationalism and class and persecution #as well as shame and faith in the soc duology #like it is still sort of there but it feels diluted #sort of out of focus in favour of the flashy fight scenes and the romance and the humour #but that was never what made grishaverse good like for all it's flaws it had something to say #shows #sab #lit #soc

The knight and the princess

#absolutely stunning op ;; #I'm really gutted we won't be getting them back anytime soon if ever #like don't get me wrong they are mine now they live in my brain rent free #but I had hoped disney might commit to those teased 3 arcs #I hate the state of media production rn #if you set something up nicely there's no guarantee you get to finish it #but then your other option is to rush it which compromises the quality of the storytelling #I'll keep my fingers crossed for this 5e continuation of an 1e campaign if you catch my drift #damn I really am sad they were everything 14 year old me wanted #willow 2022 #art:willow #tanthamore #shows
