I have a weird little idea for RWRB2 that some people may not like, but I fully support
They should bring June in as Alex's cousin.
I know people have been joking about just putting her in the movie, but it'd be too weird to give him a sister that's never been mentioned
Giving him a cousin with whom he is very close and shares a lot of personality traits, on the other hand, would make sense. They could say she hasn't seen Alex in a couple years but is coming to stay with them and they immediately pick up where they started
She'd be close with his family, she'd know Nora, and maybe even have met Henry before
(and also I think Taylor's sister would make a really good June appearance wise)
"I just really wanted to explore both of those characters and I wanted to do it in a way that I hadn't really seen before, and also just like as a queer person I want to make queer art and that's what I'm drawn and that's what I'm interested in. So I kind of had these two different ideas, it was like one idea was that I would write a book about this rebellious first kid who's like figuring out that they're queer and what does that mean for their like political aspirations; and the other was about you know sort of a member of the royal family under all of this pressure to carry on this legacy and like what does that mean if they're gay. Um-And I'm just like kind of weighing these two different stories and deciding where I wanted to go and then I just kind of had this moment of like What If I didn't have to choose and it was the same story because they fall in love with each other? And-Um-You know in a classic bisexual fashion I was like I'm gonna have both, so I did!"
"It was really important to me that Alex was explicitly bisexual because like, you know, I really wanted the representation of like this bisexual character and then it was important to me that he was also Mexican like he is in the book and that he was played by a Mexican actor. (..) It was really important to me that, um, I didn't want any, I didn't want Alex or Henry, no matter how their stories were translated to the screen, I didn't want either of them to have any type of, um, like shame or resentment towards themselves for being queer, it was really important to me that the stakes of their lives and their like inner conflict was much more based on like the circumstances that they're in. It's like they don't hate themselves for being gay-or for being bi-they just wish that it was easier to be who they were in the world that they live in."
"..Taylor embodies that so beautifully. (..) I think he's just killer in that role. And Nick, I mean, if you like turned me upside down and shook me like he would fall out my brain as Henry (..) doesn't have blue eyes but they sure are sad eyes and that is exactly what they need to be."
"I see myself in Alex, tremendously, I'm very much in Alex, I relate to him so much, uh, truly, I think he's the most like me of all my characters."
"I very much would love screenwriting to become part of what I do, I'll say it that way."
For @alittlefrenchtree @hrhprincegalitzine @nicholasgalitzinemedia @henfox and those who love RWRB! It's a pic to celebrate the sequel. Plus, I wanted to see what it'd look like if you put the guys' hometowns as their background. And so, WHABAAAM! Yep you can even share it on your twitter/IG/FB. Its yours!
I wonder what we're gonna see in the sequel. Alex in law school? Henry publishing his first book? The end of Ellen's second term and the family processing the craziness of the last 8 years? Zahra and Shaan wedding or baby? The firstprince proposal? The brownstone? Firstprince planning their wedding? Nora and Pez solidifying their relationship? Double dates? What kind of drama is there going to? Henry's abdication? The king passing? US political bs? DAVID?
