I think one of the main factors of Wille finally breaking the cycle and getting out of the monarchy this season is Kristina’s health going downhill.

In s1, Kristina is presented as this unbreaking monarch and hard mother. She’s mad at Wille for the fight, takes a drastic measure and sends him away, and doesn’t ever break in face of Wille’s pleases to come back home to his family. When Erik dies, she barely breaks, expecting Wille to be as "strong" as she is. And then when the video comes out, when Wille is broken down by it and needs comfort and reassurance, she’s still unbreaking, pushing through and "solving" the problem easily. Kristina is his mother sometimes, especially when things go well, but he first and most important aspect she always puts foreword is that of a strong Queen who takes care of her country.

S2 is in the same vein, but as Wille molds more to her requests as a Queen, we see a bit more her motherly side. She’s still a strong Queen, a ruler who doesn’t back down from threats (Wille going to Instagram and abdicating) and solves those issues. By the end of the series, she was proud of him, showing how she still came on top, how her ways will make someone else be unbreaking, forming her son after her ways. Until the speech.

The speech breaks Kristina, and I think that this in turn breaks Wille’s illusions too. Because how can he, who doesn’t even like the monarchy in the way his mother clearly does, be expected to stay strong and just in front of difficulties and change? How can Wille, be able to do that, when they need some unbreaking version of Crown Prince Wilhelm? How can he survive this institution if his mother can’t? When Wille is already feeling so beaten down by it, and then he’s expected to take on the role in the next year at earliest? Seeing how impossible the role is for someone who was as strong in her convictions and as ruthless is keeping the good image of the crown break down from it gives absolutely no hope to Wille that he could ever have done it himself, unless he were to choose the path where he would decided to kill Wille to only leave place to Crown Prince Wilhelm.

And we saw it this season, Crown Prince Wilhelm is not a nice, caring, just and loving leader. Crown Prince Wilhelm is someone who is forced into a role he doesn’t want and can’t fit in, no matter how hard he tries. Crown Prince Wilhelm is the worst parts of Wille, someone that can’t grow and expand into the beautiful person Wille can be. Crown Prince Wilhelm would become just like his mother, except he is already starting to crumble. But Wille, on the other hand, is who he can be now that he’s decided to come out of there. Now that he’s rejecting that life for himself, if we can even call it a life. Wille is who he can be now that he decided he was more important than an institution that doesn’t care about individuals, that traps them and breaks them without giving them the choice to think if they want this.

Compilation of clues that August would get the crown

Many of these have already been discussed, but I was trying to think of how many there were and decided to put them together in one place. If there are others, please add!

The baggage metaphor. August trying to take the suitcase from Wille. Wille's unwillingness to let it go until Erik tells him to do it (possibly Wille finding out about Erik which allowed him to finally let go of the obligation he felt to be crown prince). And in the end August and Erik have the baggage and Wille has no baggage.

This discussion about how August would be better with crown prince duties and Wille suggesting they trade places

August holding the King when he plays chess (can anyone else confirm? I've seen different people say he's holding the King in both scenes, but I know absolutely nothing about chess)

The not so subtle lyrics

The crown imagery

And finally, the queen giving the frog (frog prince) necklace to August.

we'll make a home on the cracks (glowing review)

"The sun was warm on Simon’s skin, the waves of the sea a distant lullaby, the gull’s cries piercingly loud and the line in front of the ice cream shop stretching out far beyond where Simon could see, when he looked up into the smiling face of a stranger he’d likely never forget. "

Working in an ice cream parlor to earn some cash inbetween semesters has been a very responsible and mature decision, Simon knows that. But it's also been boring as hell. That changes when one day, a chance-encounter changes the course of his next twenty-four hours, and possibly his entire life. He's never been a romantic, never believed in the one true love. So, why does saying goodbye feel like dying?

Well... here I am, yet again, on a Friday, posting something. You can find the story here.
