In season 2, in preparation for the Valentine's Ball, Felice decides not to wear the white wig with her outfit.

She has her natural hair big, and curly and out, and stunning. Also, I love that her dress is a dark colour compared to everyone else's pale coloured outfits.

She says to her friends about the wig: "I don't know what to do. I can't wear that. It doesn't feel like me." Madison says, "Isn't that the point, though." Stella says," I think it's really pretty." Felice replies with, "It's not that it's not pretty. That's not the problem. It just doesn't feel right. But it's so weird. Everyone else will wear one."

She wants to be herself and sit in her own beauty, but she is worried that she will stand out by not conforming. Parallel this with her dad in season 3 telling her, "When I started (at Hillerska), I tried to have my own style. Some different cool clothes, big unruly hair....But here, that wasn't an option. Soon, I looked like everyone else."

When how you look, your hair, the colour of your skin, makes you different, conforming to the hierarchy that implies that European standards of beauty are superior, is necessary to have an easier time at Hillerska. According to Poppe, "That's how you win. Play be the rules."

I love how this is followed by Felice going against the rules of Hillerska that you don't snitch on the goings-on of the institution, and being honest. Leaving her conforming dad out of the interview room.

I like to contrast Felice's decision at the Valentine's Ball with Wilhelm painting his face and putting on his wig that makes him look like a traditional Prince. In this scene, he is crying as he dons his Prince apparel. It also 'doesn't feel right'. And it also 'doesn't feel like him'. He has always hated his role as Prince. Even something that should be fun, like playing dress up for a ball that everyone is doing, is not. Because he's not playing a role like everyone else. He is that role, and he hates it.

As to the other characters: August is seen to be really pleased with his reflection in the mirror as a traditional noble (read Prince) role. Sara is caught up in the excitement of being one of the elite girls and playing at being a part of their world. Simon is in his school uniform. He is himself. A 16 year old school boy. He definitely stands out at the ball, but he doesn't care.

Most heartbreaking and most heartwarming Wilmon scene? And why?

hello five days later!!!!

genuinely SUCH a hard question because the scenes are always so complex. the s1 and s3 breakups are devastating but i also felt SUCH pride in simon for choosing himself in those moments, so i can't call them the most heartbreaking scenes. the s1 final scene was pretty heartbreaking, especially since i watched it before s2 came out so it just HUNG THERE, but wille's look to the camera is so badass, so that offsets the heartbreak for me. i might have to go with the scene in s3 when simon says he doesn't want to be anywhere. it's not quite suicidality but it edges on that, PLUS it sits in contrast to what we learn about this character in the very first episode, when we find out he dreams of leaving his hometown, of seeing more of the world. it's heartbreaking to see how he's been crushed and hurt and drained, when all he wants to do is love and dream and live. and after i've written all this i realize you asked about wilmon scenes and i've answered with a simon-specific scene, so i'll leave all that there but add the lake scene in the finale. it's so so so beautiful - alice is a stunning tonal choice, the visuals are beyond gorgeous, and edvin and omar fucking delivered. that's the scene that started me crying when watching the finale, and i was genuinely scared it would be a true goodbye. you can feel how strong the love is, but the love isn't enough. simon has to step back to save himself, and wille has to decide if he wants to do the same.

most heartwarming is more straightforward for me: the final scene <3 it's sunny, it's cinematic, it's big and bold and joyful, they're free, they're with their friends, they are not hiding, they are together, things look possible and open in a way they haven't in months - or possibly forever, for wille. there is no wilmon scene that stands so separate from the grief and pain they have been through.
