tumblr is really like you log off for 8 hours to go to sleep and when you come back someone made a poster out of a years old meme based on a knockoff boot and used it to open the portal to a parallel reality with forbidden scorsese movies. okay

Being patient with your raised-conservative lover is true love
Simon being gentle with Wille when it comes to share opinions is the biggest proof of love to me. He has strong political knowledge, and values and believes. He always speaks his mind with conviction, he never betrays himself. But when it comes to Wille he's forbearing and never raises his voice at him, even when Wille shares ideas or concerns that might be exasperating and border dumb to him. His privilege are making him painfully ignorant at times.
And yet, Simon is soft when Wille says being scared of Hillerska shutting down, even if it doesn't seem like the worse idea and the school and its traditions are embodying everything that Simon despises. He calmly tries to explain to Wille that going to Royal summer camp isn’t the same has having a minimum paid summer job. He comes back to Wille during the absurd Hillerska demonstration. He listens and cares when Wille tells him about Erik participating to homophobic initiation traditions without judgment. And he tries to have honest and peaceful conversations about what the monarchy means to Wille.
Simon is so patient with him. There is so much love and hope in those interactions. Wille saying that he does learn things from Simon might mean more to him than it can seems. I love them. And this season.
